I woke up from the drowsy slumber I had been in for a year. Cloud, Nanaki, Tifa, Barret, Yuffie, Cid, Cait Sith and I had defeated Sephiroth a year before, after which I returned to The ShinRa Mansion, to the coffin from whence they found me.
I had spent an intollerable amount of time in the outside world, and I wasn't prepared to let my knowledge slip from my grasp. So once every two weeks, I would arise from my coffin and venture out for two days, before returning into the gloom of the basement.
It was that time again, I awoke from my sleep, and clambered out of my coffin. After stretching and sorting out the creases in my cloak, I climbed the fungus inhabited spiraling staircase the the surface. As I opened the secret door, the sunlight that peirced throught the curtains burned my eyes, and I backed off slightly, gaurding my eyes with my arm.
After roughly three minutes of letting my eyes adapt to the light, I stumbled into the hall way and tugged on the handle of the two large oak doors that stood between me and the world. They opened and a light breeze ran through my hair, it was a lift from being stuck in a dank coffin with a stench that could kill a large rodent on impact.
The townspeople gazed at me for a split second, then went back to their usual attire, they had grown used to the sound of a pair of large doors opening each fortnight, so it was no great arousal for them.
For me however, the scent of the air made me feel more... Alive. I took a few steps out of the doorway and took a deep breath, who knows what could happen today?
I walked forth out of the once emaculate graden of the ShinRa Mansion, which was now grey and dead. I walked into the town of Nibelhelm, small and humble as it was.
The previous outgoing, I had visited my dear Nanaki, he seemed to be doing well; doing alot of heavy duty work and protection of the Cosmo Canyon. So I decided to visit 'Mr. Swear-my-panties-off' Cid, but to get to Rocket town, where he lived, I had to go through one of my least favourite places, Mount. Nibel.
Creepy and gloomy are only two words to describe such a bleak landscape such as this. The bridge had been broken when Cloud and I had ventured across it, so I had to settle with crawling down the side of the ridge to enter the mountain. I made my way through, only to pass the reactor, but to my suprise, the door was shutting.
Like usual, curiousity got the better of me, and I sneaked inside the reactor to see who it was. The shock hit with the force equal to that of meteor.
Chapter 2 coming up as soon as poss, Reveiws would be wonderous! .
