Prologue
(Childhood Memories)
He stood, starring out of the huge glass window into the bottomless sea. It reminded him of his eyes, ice blue and never ending. The sea comforted him from his nightmarish memories of his childhood. Suddenly the intercom came to life with a buzz,
"Vice-president Rufus, are you there? Please pick up, it is a matter of great urgency!"
The young man in the white suit and black boots removed his gaze from the sea, flicked his strawberry-blonde hair out of his face and slowly moved towards his desk; he pressed the button down lightly and replied to his secutary,
"This better be important!" he starred angrily at the machine as if the woman on the other side could see him.
"Yes sir, it is sir, your father has been murdered at the Shinra headquarters in Midgar." She replied nervously, as if she knew Rufus had fixed his ice-cold stare at her.
"Prepare my chopper immediately!" The newly proclaimed President chuckled quietly to himself; the old man had finally paid for what he had done to mother.
Rufus sat with his eyes tightly shut throughout the journey; he was remembering the fateful day of his mother's death…
Although he couldn't see what was going on in the room below him, the young teenager knew very well what was going on. His parents were fighting again, he suspected it was the usual cause; one of them had been having an affair, one nightstand, or something along those lines.
He heard his father's usual phrase of 'You know if any of this gets out I'll be ruined!'
This time seemed to be worse than any of the other arguments before.
Sometime later a high-pitched scream filled the mansion, echoing off the marble walls until it reached Rufus's ears.
"Mother!!!"
He sprang to life, sprinting out of his bedroom and down the many corridors until he reached the stairs, which he took three steps at a time. He ran into the parlour to find his mother sprawled at his feet, dead, and his father with a handgun raised.
"Sir???" Asked a timid SOLDER.
"SIR???" Rufus snapped out of his memories and back into reality.
"We have arrived at Shinra headquarters, we will be landing at your father's rooftop balcony momentarily."
