Prelude
Cloud waited on a pile of rubble, near a well. This was his favorite place, especially at night. He would come here to think and to plan. Sometimes he would come here just to get away from everything. But this time. he just waited. He looked around and up at the sky. It was beautiful, as always, and with an infinite amount of stars. And he wondered, was there someone there that would be looking back at him; wondering like he was, about what would happen in the future, or even thinking about if they would make a worthwhile difference.
"Hi, Cloud."
He turned to see a young female figure walk towards him. She was beautiful, and somehow, even more so in the star light. "I thought you wouldn't show up." Cloud looked at her as she took a seat near the edge of the pile and looked up. Her apparent indifference to what he said, even now, made him feel heavyhearted. Yet he sat quietly there for what seemed liked hours. He felt that after the day they had gone through, this was probably the right thing to do. But he knew the evening wasn't over, and he had one more announcement to make. "I will be leaving soon."
She put her head down. "All the boys will be leaving to get a job in the city. It's too hard to make a living here in the country."
"I'm different though. I am going to join Soldier and be a great warrior, like Sephiroth."
After some thought, she turned to him, and looked him in the eyes. "Promise me something."
He was startled, but agreed.
"Promise me that when you join soldier and become famous, you will come save me if I'm in trouble." She looked back down and seemed to be in thought. "I want to experience that at least once."
He agreed, and looked around once more and thought. Why would she make him make that type of a promise?
