"Let's go!"
And so they swam and waded as best they could, trying not to think of the floating still bodies. The town trickled into the forest and the Church held Her arms open to them all.
Literally.
The trees swayed, leaves rustling and chattering in their own language.
"It's like Eruyt village..." Larsa whispered, the Church quiet with a certain soothing atmosphere. "They're like...people."
As soon as the words left his lips, the vines above curled around his wrist. The boy yelped in surprise as the vine very gently tugged him forward, deeper into the Church and away from the approaching water. The vines soon reached out to Penelo and Vaan, coaxing them with curling fronds and even softly touching them to guide them.
The Church would be their Guardians as well as their Sanctuary.

"Sanctuary!" She called, directing the lost, panicking civilians, "Sanctuary!"
She was one used to being soaked with water, and with floods even, having grown up on an island prone to tidal waves and the beast of the sea, Sin. Her hair whipped in the ominous breeze inland.
"This way, everyone get inside, the trees will protect you!"
As absurd as it sounded, Yuna knew the trees were a haven. She knew because Seymour was communicating with them, and that the trees, much like the people of Spira, and herself, would bend to his words.

"Summoner Yuna?' He called out, walking over. Nightwing wasn't a religious person, he had an educated cynicism towards it, the type that came from having seen so much too young. He much preferred to put his faith in people. And Lulu had told him enough about Yuna for him to place his faith in her ability to guide these people. "We've brought some supplies."

She slid her hair behind her ear, and placed her free hand over her chest to catch her breath.
"Thank goodness," She breathed a small prayer of thanks to Yevon.
Bare, blistered feet padded down the stairways made by roots, and across a puddle. And by across, she actually ghosted the top of the water without sinking; a peculiar little trait that had come in handy when she needed to escape across the flood waters to sanctuary.
"Bring them inside, please. Is there anything I can do for you, sir?"

She hefted her bag of supplies onto her other shoulder. Thank goodness she was a mage. Things would be harder if she wasn't.
"I'm here. Sorry."
