Chapter Five - News To Me
"You see," says Zell, "All folk of the world - all races depend on you to save them . . . . .but they don't know who you are - only from rumours and descriptions. No one, bar us, have ever met you and known whom you truly are. You, my dear sir, fit the grade, as me and my friend can sense the truth within you - you are the one. That was what we were discussing when you woke up and saw us."
"Yes - and now that we have found you, we must take you to the grand high sector at Luca." Comments Irvine.
"Really, you'd take me there?"
"Yes - it is our duty to find you and keep you safe from harm on your pilgrimage."
"Pilgrimage?" Squall echoed.
"Yes. You must go to the five high sectors in the world - excluding the initiation grand high sector at Luca - where we are headed for now. Then if you succeed, you can save us all."
When the two were talking about him saving mankind earlier, he just passed it by, thinking he had misheard, as he was very tired. This time was different - he knew he had heard right and it shocked him.
"Save the world? Why? Why me? How?"
"You are the purest of the purest race. Your mother and father were the first ever king and queen - but they were not truly pure, but their souls and spirit, combined together, created you - the purest of them all."
"I see . . . . . .it's just . . . . just . . . what exactly will I be saving the world from?"
"Ah . . . . . . .the beast that no one dares to utter . . . . the unspeakable beast."
"And how am I supposed to defeat it?"
"That involves the ancient art of summoning aeons."
"Aeons?" Squall echoed.
"You've never heard of them? Well here goes . . . there are six altogether - one in each of the high sectors, and the grand aeon, Anime, rests within the grand high sector at Luca, where you must return to again after your pilgrimage. These six aeons are the earth's guardians, extremely powerful - and only you can summon them."
"We'll have to get going." Harped Zell.
