Eye of the Storm
Disclaimer: I do not own squaresoft/Final Fantasy but, if I did (not that I do) I would be very proud because they pretty much rock.
The sun seemed brighter and the world seemed peaceful; it was over. It was really over. Like the calm after the storm the war was over as soon as it began. After a year of fighting it was hard to believe that in the blink of an eye everything was okay. Marching back to Balamb they felt like heroes. They were victorious. They came, they fought, and they triumphed.
Squall tightened his grip on the dark haired girls shoulder as they walked. A sense of exhaustion mixed with pride and achievement overwhelmed the group. Squall led the group, his features as still as ever with only one difference: the impression of sweet victory. The young woman at his side was smiling from ear to ear. Behind them four others followed. A petite young brunette who was having a hard time concealing her overpowering excitement, a handsome cowboy strolling along side her and occasionally glancing at her and smiling to himself, a hyperactive tattooed boy who was trying his hardest to keep calm and walk with dignity, and finally her. Glancing at the group anybody could easily miss her but once you caught her, her stature in itself demanded full attention. She was unnoticeably a remarkable woman, and that's simply in a glance. Her back straight and face full of pride and pure satisfaction, almost matching that of her leader's. She sauntered with the group with such grace and elegance it's hard to believe she was almost disregarded. Blending in with the group she kept a private smile watching her friends as they let their faces show their true emotions.
Despite the differing emotions pulsating from the group, the truth was they were heroes. All of them. The continued their trip unsure of what awaited back home but eager to find out.
A/N: I know it's really short. But I was listening to "Total Eclipse of the Heart" (funny what songs can give you inspiration) and I thought of a whole flippin' story line. This is all I've got for now but I've got huge plans for this story...so keep your eyes open!! Since the story doesn't exactly revolve around a couple I can't tell you who's gonna be with you...just be patient with me. We're together on this ride now.
Oh yeah, and leaving nice little reviews and feedback is especially nice...
