Chapter 11

A while later, they left the Shelters and began building a new Spira. Rikku's daughter had been born by then. Rikku had named her Lila. Whenever she looked at her she saw Gippal. His smile, his features. A mixture of their eyes. Not every Al bhed had the swirling green eyes. Cid hadn't, for instance. Lila had the green eyes without the swirls. Watching her daughter grow had been a source of joy to everyone in the shelter. Llaman too was growing. He could walk now, and talk after a fashion.

The day they had left the shelter, Shinra had been waiting for them outside on the airship. He and Yuna had talked of the new town they planned to build. It was the first Rikku had heard of it, but Shinra told her they had been discussing it for ages.

They wanted to build a town suing Shinra's new form of energy. Rikku remembered him discussing it, back on the airship so long ago. He had found a way to use the life energy of Spira, and he and Yuna were once again talking about their dream town, a city of light. Rikku was glad that Yuna did not seem so depressed anymore, but she couldn't help but feel a little left out. She ignored the feeling, knowing it was selfish in these times.

They all began building a halfway town to live in while Yuna and Shinra completed their plans. Everyone helped. Even Llaman toddled around after people carrying tools and things for them. It took a while, but the people needed a project.

When it was finished, Yuna gave a speech. She named the town, as well. Following the will of the people, she named the town 'Calm', in homage to those who had died in the Calm Lands.
