Chapter 1

Odd Beginnings

I feel like I have woken up from a long dream. I half-opened my gray-blue eyes to find myself floating in water or some sort of liquid that glowed with a greenish tint .Where am I? Where did I come from and how? I just don't remember. I looked at mysurroundings to find myself in an old broken up church, with a gray-white pillers readyto fall on themselves. One already on the ground intersectiong the wall and pews brokenup in what appeared to have been a fight. I got out of the out of the liquid already feelinga small shot of coldness... I brushed it off.

I tried to adjust to the sun that was high but I felt so hazy. I shook my head trying to make my head clear up but it didn't work. I decided to look around and then I saw something intresting. There was a big metal-like box next to a bedroll. Then,my head began to hurt. My right hand held my head as it began to ache.What's happening? I feel numb... I closed my eyes as my hand went throughmy meduim length hair. The pain stinged my senses yet cleared them. I opened my eyes again while taking my hand out of my hair since the pain seemed to have stopped. I looked around find myself in a large white area or room. There was a chair with velvet padding that embeed into the seat and a pink ribbion laying loosely on it. I picked it up with my left hand. It felt familiar somehow. Like a memory that can slip away so easily.

"It's for you"

Was this a voice? Or is it just me? I turned around in every direction frantically to find out where the voice came from but it was nowhere. Just dead scilence.

"Take it. It's for you."

There it is again. Now I can tell that it came from a woman. Her voice sounded kind and gentle, like a mothers voice.

"Where are you?...Who are you?" I asked to the white nothingness around me but got no answer. I held the ribbon harder with frustration. I finally got my answer.

"You'll figure out soon." she seemed to have whispeared this time adding a soft chuckle. I heard the voice comming from behind.

I turned frantically around only to find that I was back in the old, broken up church alone again. I sighed as I found myself stareing at the water that tinted like when you hold an emerald to sun. I turned around to find the bedroll and metal box again. I looked at it intently trying to figure out why it's so familiar and why do I feel like I have been in this church before? I remebered a name...and his apperance was sad. He had blonde hair and blue eyes that lightly glowed. He wore a black outfit and his sword was gigantic...His name...Cloud Strife and his sword...Buster blade... I think.

Wait! How do I know this?My heart began beating faster and louder. I held my black shirt, holding the place where myheart is. I could feel it pounding faster and faster.

Memories began to pour into my head. My heart beat faster Thump-thump-thump.I could see a smiling man that had a metallic gun for a hand. He was huge...Barret was his name and his daughter...Mar-...lene. I also saw a jumpy girl with short black hair and a weapon that looked like a shuriken...Yuffie was her name. I saw another man with aspear smiling as well. Laughing. Good old Cid. And a red creature that looked like a dog...Red was his name. I began to hold my head again with both of my hands. Where are these memories are coming from and why at me? My heart beat even faster Thump-Thunp-thunp-thump.Did someone die here and are they sending their life at me in a single blast? Or is this just my imagination? I began to here a ringing sound as names and apperences poured into me. My heart went faster. Thump-thump-thump. The ever cocky red head Reno...the quiet bald Rude, both in thier Turk suits. Turk? Rufus...I feel hate from this man... What the hell is going on? Where are these coming from? Thumpthumpthumpthump. My knees hit the ground as memories poured in again of sadness, fighting monsters like Flans... What the hell is a Flan? Where are these comming from? I saw a red tore up cape and a man with long black hair weilding a gun.His eyes were glowing in a redish color. They were red...V-V-Vinnnnncent. Vincent. My heart stopped for a second, making me lose my breathe and chocked for air and at last it came. I could breathe again.

I could to feel cold sweat come down my face and neck. As the memories stopped, my knees were on the ground panting, holding the ribbon close to my heart. I got up hoping that my head had cleared. It had. I looked at my left hand to find the ribbon still there. I smile at it. At least I'm not insane. I began to tie it around my arm just below my right shoulder. I looked down, trying to think...but then I heard footsteps echoing through the church.

"Who's there?" asked a womans voice. It was echoing through the church. Her voice was soft yet demanding right now.

She walked in, footsteps echoing. She had long dark hair that went to her waist. Her eyes were a dark brown color. Tifa? Is that her name? Another memory came. She looked at Cloud sadly. The memory stopped playing. She looked at me intently then smiled at me she took a few steps near me.

"Well, who are you?" She asked with a smile.

Who am I? My name...my name...do I even have one? I looked down so that I could avoid her face. My name...I remember now.

" My name is Nydroj Strife." I told her as quietly as I could. She looked at me harder. Then she looked confused, but her smile was still there. Tifa...looked sad for minuite but I feel that Cloud was alive.

"Where did you come from?" she then asked me as she took a step nearer. I took a step backward and looked up.

I turned around to the pool of liquid. The green color was still there. How do I know where I came from. More importantly, what else can I say? I don't know where I came from. I just came. The only thing I can think of is that I came from the liquid. That's it. I smiled dumbfoundly as I pointed downward to it. She walked right beside me and looked at where I pointed. She looked at me in puzzlement and confusion.

"I came from that Tifa" I told her, "I don't know what that is"

Her eyes grew very wide and her smile disappeared. And she took a step back from me and then shw whispeared,

"You came from...that and how do you know my name," she asked. I looked down ashamed. Maybe I shouldn't have called her by name. I don't know why I did. It seemed...natural to call her by her name. Like that I have known her so long. But I don't. That's what scares me the most. Right now anyway. I looked up again to her and told her,

"I don't know how or why I know your name or...these other people that I have keep seeing. I don't know how I got here or for what purpose. All I know is that my name is Nydroj Strife and I know you, Yuffie, Barret, Marlene, Denzel, and other people that know Cloud. I'm sorry that I scared you about knowing your name. I want answers but right now there are none looking at me...I'm sorry,"She looked at me. Then there was scilence, a very awkward one. She just looked at me...with her eyes showing different emotions for every minuite that passed. I just stood there, looking down the whole time.

I hope she understands what's going on. Because I sure don't! All of the sudden the liquid began to glow it's greenish glow. Tifa turned arouns since she was in front of me. She looked just as surprised as me. A portion of the water began to levitate and began to form into something...as it formed I just stood there in a quiet awe.

It formed a sword that had three holes from the handle that on the blade. It began to float next to me, passing Tifa and comming straight at me. The handle then slipped into my right hand. I lifted it...the Buster Blade.

Tifa looked at me and smiled. She reached out her hand to me and smiled, a mothers smile. I looked at her hand and then her and smiled softly.

"Aren't I too old to adopt Tifa?" I asked her chuckling a little bit as I put the sword on my back. I haven't chuckled in what seemed like an eternity. All thoses bits and peices of Memories were all sad. I need to make a good one at least.She chuckled and smiled.

"Don't need to help? After all, you're lost anyway. You can help me with the bar." she said, "I can help you get a start." I was shocked at what she proposed. Not that it's a bad thing, but she wanted to help me.I looked down at her hand then up again at her face. She looked kind and gentle. Like a mother. I smiled.

I reached my ungloved righthand and took it. She began to lead me out of the Church. I guess I felt happy. I'm not really sure. but there are still questions I need answers to. Where am I? How did I get here? What was that liquid and how did I end up in it? How do I know these people just from memories? So many questions...

I smiled to myself. At least some will be answered. Or least I hope. What a weird way to begin.
