~Chapter 1~

"Infinite in mystery, is the gift of the Goddess. We seek it thus…"
"…and take to the sky" smiled Amelia, crossing her arms as she leaned backwards.

"I think that the book has been beaten into our heads" chuckled a tall, silver-haired male.

Burying his head into the light pink cover, the poet sunk himself into the pages where he belonged.
"Oh, come on Gen!" Amelia elbowed him lightly, trying to earn his attention. The elegant redhead huffed and went back to his reading. "Seph was only joking, weren't you?"
The silver haired general glared at her with his mako-glowing eyes, swiftly turning away and walking to the edge of Sister Ray. She stared as his soft locks of silver hair blew in the breeze before turning back to the play-engrossed redhead.

He was mumbling to himself. Although Amelia only heard parts of what he was saying, she knew for a fact that it was LOVELESS that he was reciting.
"…pride is lost….stripped away….end is n~"
The hard-covered book came to a crash on the metal below them. Genesis looked down in ire and looked up at Amelia before her lips crashed onto his in a loving kiss. Before she knew it, Genesis had wrapped his arms around her and whispered:

"Amelia, I…-"

[RING. RING.]

Sitting up slowly, Amelia pushed her long blonde hair out of her face and impaled the wall with her alarm clock. She shook her head and clambered out from under her warm duvet. She looked in the mirror and looked at herself. She was in a long-sleeved black shirt and a pair of red shorts. She took off the shirt and threw it onto the bed. She received it from Genesis when she went out for dinner with him, Sephiroth and Angeal.
"That was 3 years ago… Why do I still have this thing?"
She sighed as she walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. She stripped herself from her underwear and clambered in under the rush of hot water. She sighed happily as the warmth and cleanliness of the water washed away the past night's worries.

She stepped out of the shower and walked into her room, a towel wrapped taught around her small but muscular frame. Becoming a puddle around her ankles, she stepped out of it and began to dress. She stared at the intricacy of her SOLDIER uniform. Tailored just for her, she had become the first and only female to join SOLDIER, courtesy of her father knowing President Shinra since his childhood. Her fingers lightly traced the leather of the SOILDIER belt and then across the black wool vest. She smiled and took it off the hanger before quickly changing.
'5000 gil was worth it' she thought as she looked in the mirror. Brushing her hair and standing up straight, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her heart was pounding behind her uniform and rattling her ribcage as she smiled nervously.

Turning to the door, she inhaled deeply and flicked the lock. The handle felt cold against her hand as she turned it.

The door opened and the fresh air of a new day circled around her body. Straightening her body, she locked her door and turned towards the Briefing room for her first mission.

'I hope I'm not late…' Amelia thought as she ran down the corridors.
