"" Talking '' Thinking

Chapter 1: Life Stream

'This is strange, where am I, the light is bright,' all of those thoughts and more ran through the silver-haired man's brain.

He wore a long trench coat and floated somewhere in the Life Stream next to him gripped in his hand was a fearsome looking sword which he called 'Masamune'.

He had drifted for a very long time it felt like decades to him, although he could not tell because he did not age. His last memory was of watching a spiky haired blonde shrink from view as he tumbled downward to land in the Life Stream, he drifted further and fell into sleep, it was not needed for him but he did it to pass the time.

"Hey Selphie come here I found something, it looks odd," a duster clad woman yelled in a very loud voice. A few moments later she heard a sound like that of grass being ran through, a female with short brown hair and a yellow dress came over to the sandy white beach.

"Hey Rinoa what is tha..." the brunette didn't get to finish her sentence because the thing they were staring at moved, and then started to stand. They could not tell what it was because of this black looking stuff all over it, but that soon turned into a cape and a full trench coat, the thing held in it's hand the longest sword either of the two girls had ever saw the blade was at least 6ft and was sharpened to a point, it was curved like that of a Samurai sword but longer, they found the thing had long silver hair, one of the more striking features of the thing was it's eyes a bright glowing blue that looked like they could see your deepest secrets and through your body to your soul.

'Where am I, and why am I being stared at' the trench coat wearing man thought as he stood and looked around at the two women in front of him, noticing that the one in the yellow dress had a hold of the woman in the blue dusters arm and was trying to hide behind her, like a child. Both of the women stared at him like he was a monster and was going to eat them, he looked down to his sword and then back to the women.

"H...h...hello, w...wh...what's your name" Rinoa said to the person, which she now knew was male, had a sword, and looked ready to kill anyone that made him the slightest bit angry. Selphie stepped almost all the way behind the black haired woman, she figured she could try and hide from those eyes, eyes that pried to her deepest fears.

"Sephiroth," the man answered in an almost inaudible voice.

"Mmy name is Rinoa and tthhis girl is Selphie," Rinoa turned to Selphie, who was barely peeking out from over her shoulder. Selphie waved a shaking hand wondering if this man was planning on breaking her bones and drinking her marrow.

"Where am I, and I will not harm you, onnas," Sephiroth said as he stuck his deadly blade into the ground and folded his arms over his chest, he didn't think about it but he then only seemed more menacing.

"It's alright Selphie you can come out, he said he wouldn't hurt us, you're on a beach by Balamb Garden, the Garden is that way," Rinoa said as she pointed to the Northeast of the beach.

Selphie came part of the way out from behind her then all the way but still held onto Rinoa's arm, 'just in case' she thought.

Sephiroth took his sword from out of the sand and gripped it tightly before he started to walk toward the destination she had pointed out to him. Then a thought in his mind clicked 'what is a Garden' Rinoa and Selphie were almost 10ft behind him now, though they still watched him carefully.

'I will not lower myself to ask these onnas what a Garden is,' Sephiroth thought before he stopped walking and heard a noise, he turned and saw the two women, he had just a few seconds ago spoken to, being attacked by a giant dinosaur looking monster. It swung it's tail at them and barely missed because of Selphie and Rinoa ducking.

"I knew it was a bad idea to leave our GFs and weapons back at the Garden," Selphie shrieked as she held onto a ducked down Rinoa for dear life. Sephiroth ran back to the beach as the dinosauric fiend bit at Rinoa,

'No I'm dead, I am sorry Selphie' Rinoa thought before the dinosaur's mandibles connected. 'Where's the pain' Rinoa wondered, she had shut her eyes during the whole ordeal, her and Selphie held onto each other tightly so neither could run and leave the other behind.

The only thing the dinosaur fiend could do was make a blood choked gurgle, it's larynx had been cut along with it's jugular vein and it crashed to the ground dead.

'If fiends are this weak around here it will be no hassle to reach this Garden' Sephiroth thought as he walked over to the two huddled women.

"It is dead," Sephiroth spoke quietly and then turned back to face the enormous corpse. Rinoa opened her eyes and then Selphie to see a dead T-Rexaur and the trench-coat-wearing man as he stood in front of them, his back facing them and his sword covered in blood.

"Y...you saved us," Selphie said to Sephiroth and blushed a deep crimson before she turned back to see if Rinoa was okay.

'He saved us that means he can't be a bad guy,' Rinoa thought and then turned back to Selphie who looked at her with worry in her eyes.

"I'm alright Selphie, how about you," Selphie nodded and then realized they were still huddled together. She abruptly stood up and held out her hand to help Rinoa up, Rinoa took it and stood as well, she looked at the Silver Haired Savior.

"Can we come with you, we left all of our stuff back at the Garden and can't protect ourselves," Rinoa asked Sephiroth. Sephiroth nodded, back still to them and walked to the dead T-Rexaur, there was a light from his hand that turned orange and then formed into a ball of flame which he tossed at the dead fiend and watched it explode into ash before he began the trek to the Garden.

Edited from its former horrendousness to what you see now. Leave reviews.
