Final Fantasy VII Fan Fic
Prologue
Warmth washed over her cold body; brown hair gently swaying in the warm breeze. A green glow forced her green eyes to open, a quick gasp passed over her pale lips.
"Wh-Where am I?"
A gloved hand takes her pale hand, turning to face the dark dressed, pale haired companion.
"Who are you?"
"They said this would happen..."
"What would happen?" Her green eyes searched frantically for something, anything that she could recognise.
"That you'd forget everything that has happened." Her companion frowned. "I was hoping they'd all be wrong, that you would prove them all wrong again, that when you woke everything that had happened would be...That you would remember it all once again. Obviously, it was not to be..."
"Who...Who are you?"
He took her other hand and clasped them tightly. His green eyes shining in the eerie glow surrounding them. No...It was his eyes, something behind them made his eyes glow with an unearthly light. "Do you remember nothing?"
She closed her eyes, all her efforts went into trying to remember something, anything. Nothing came to her except the darkness of her closed eyes. "I'm very sorry; but I felt that I knew you somehow. I'm very sorry."
He shook his head. "Never mind. It isn't your fault. It was a risk we had to take, although it will take its toll on...It was worth it." A single tear rolled down his cheek. She wiped it away with her thumb.
"I'm very sorry sir..."
"There's no need to call me 'sir'. I left those ranks many years ago. My name, is Sephiroth." He let one hand fall, his fingers fell around a simple gold band. "I release you from your bonds...Go now..."
He gave her a gentle push and she fell backward as if in slow motion, landing gently on a mossy ground. As her eyes focused, she found herself lying in a forest of some sort. The trees all had a blue green look about them, the moss she lay on coated the lower half of the trees around her, and a few fungi grew near her feet. She stood and began to walk out of the forest when she spotted a red ord floating closely to her. She ran over to it and grabbed it, pocketing it quickly. Where was she meant to go? and a better question...WHO was she? Letting her feet lead her to wherever it was she was meant to go, she soon found herself facing a blinding light as she stepped into what appeared to be a mining site. There was a man, a small man wearing bright green overalls who turned to face her.
"How did you get out of that forest? The only way out is with the Lunar Harp and that's been buried for almost three years now." He asked while fixing his overalls up. "Are you an Ancient?"
"An Ancient? What is an Ancient? I...I am lost. I don't know where I am supposed to go and I ... I can't remember anything at all..." Tears sprung into her eyes and she swallowed thickly then dragged the back of her hand across her face. "I have no place to stay and no money and..." She hiccupped while sobbing, falling to her knees, she covered her face and sobbed into her pale hands.
The man looked at her in deep thought before frowning. "Wait there a moment..." He rushed to the side of the cliff and hastened down the ladder to meet with his coworkers. Within a few minutes, after she had calmed herself, the man reappeared at the top of the ladder and approached her. "We've decided that you may stay here. We will send word about you and you will work with us until someone comes to claim you."
She smiled thankfully. "Thankyou sir."
"And what are we going to call you? We can't just call you 'girl' all the time." He studied her. "You don't strike me as an ordinary girl..."
"Me?" She wasn't sure whether to be offended by the words or to take them as a compliment.
"Listen to your surroundings...What can you hear?"
She closed her eyes, the green fading from his sight. She listened carefully, the breeze blew over her face whispering words in her ears... She sighed calmly, the feeling almost natural for her.
"Chi?"
Her eyes opened and she looked at the man before her. "I think Chi. You seemed so calm then...Like the Ancients. According to legend, the first Ancient to be known was called Chi."
"Chi..." She tasted the name as she spoke it and nodded. "Yes sir."
"Come meet your new coworkers Chi."
The two figures climbed down the ladder, Chi, brushing her long honey brown hair out of her eyes. It would be interesting to live here...She wondered if anybody would know her. As soon as she entered the small huts, they insisted they take a photograph of her, the light blinded her momentarily but she saw a little man hurry away out of the mining village.
