Chapter 1: An Angel
Sephiroth watched as the dawn broke the twilight;he observed as the rays of the rising Sun made its way to the seashore,showing the ebony gloss of the sand.He felt calm at the tranquility of the view.Nothing would match the sight of sunrise at the quiet beach,he thought.The swift but cool wind brushed softly through his long,silver hair,ever shining and silky eternally.
"Hey,it's Black Wing!Yoh,Blackie!"
"Watch your words,Reno.You can call him Seth instead."
Sephiroth glared angrily at the two angels who flew their way to him.One was Reno,the red haired mischievous angel,and the other one was Rufus,who seemed the average type.
"Sheesh,guess we're not welcome here.",Reno sighed,scratching his spiky head.
Sephiroth continued to scowl at them:"You spoke of the truth.I want to be here in solitude."
"What a loner you are!",Reno snorted sarcastically,"Just because you're the only angel with a single and black wing doesn't mean that you have be all by yourself at times.Enjoy the life,dude!"
"You don't seem to harness the characteristics of a genuine angel.",Sephiroth smirked.
"Neither you,silver!",Reno frowned,"Anyways,since you're such a muscular and good-looking angel like us,why don't you come to see the 'prettier'view of the beach later on?"
Sephiroth raised a confused eyebrow on this one:"Prettier...view?The Sun will shine so brightly later on;you'll end up melting your self from the radiating heat."
"The ladies,man!The ladies!",Reno waved his hands back and forth at his shoulder's level,"Femmes on bikinis,awesome bodies..it'll be one heck of a view!"
"I do not see why you are fond of it;never.",Sephiroth said flatly.
"Fine!",Reno looked sideways,annoyed,"You can have this dull morning sunrise to yourself,but don't say we didn't tell you a thing!",then he flew away,his white wings sprouting out from his back,flying in the sky leeward.
"Seth,I apologize for Reno's behavior.He's really just like that."Rufus cracked a nervous smile.
"I've been used to it.",Sephiroth replied,eyes stuck at the escalating Sun,"And don't call me Seth."
Rufus blinked a few times after Sephiroth's last sentence,but then calmly replied,"Er..if that's what you want,Sephiroth."
"Where will you be heading to this whole day?",Rufus asked,looking at the silver-haired man's face,wondering where he's been looking at.
"To the city,",Sephiroth turned back,A huge black wing rooted from the right side of his back,"I'll be doing my duties."
Sephiroth flew away,leaving Rufus alone on the seashore.
"Sephiroth as always,",Rufus said while he shook his head.
Midgar...the city where Sephiroth's unit had been assigned to.It was quite a huge city,at least:whooping 4,000 people swarming on the roads,making their way to their work.Everyday an average of 7 people would die;and this is Sephiroth and the other angels' task:accompanying them to heaven,and asking what their favorite part of their life was.
He landed on the rooftop of the tallest building in Midgar,where he could see thousands of people wearing different faces.Sephiroth looked from his left to right,observing the ordinary human behabior that had always been extraordinary to them,the angels,even though they have been with the human species about a thousand years.He can never understand them;what they do,what they like,why they like it,etcera.Sephiroth sat at the edge of the building,relaxing his shoulders.They had just communed to God before the twilight broke.He found talking and interacting with God interesting,and it lightens up his soul.
A red feather dropped from the sky.It was a signal that someone had died.Sephiroth hurried towards the location where his senses had given him to go.He heaved a sigh at the thought of his subordinates sleeping."They'll never change..."
His perception brought him to a hospital,where he could feel the dying soul.He scanned through the floors of the building,and finally found the man after minutes of searching.
