I own nothing but the plot. This A story that coexists with Discord. You don`t have to read the other To get this one. But it will make some references to it here and there.I`m hoping to write the next chap if there a bit occ. I try to keep them in but well it doesn't`t always work like that. This is unbetaed. so forgive any spelling errors or grammar mistakes.
Shifting in my seat I feel restless. Unable to shake the feeling that I am begin watched. Its felt that way for awhile for the past few weeks or more. It was not in a creepy manner or nature From what I could tell it was more...as If was soothing and calming. As if nothing bad was going to Happen to me so long as who ever was watching kept doing so. Of course this irritated me even more. Even Angeal and Sephiroth have noticed my shitty mood. I had been snapping at more of the underlings 2nd clas and the 3rd class. As well as any one else unfortunate enough to cross my path. Even My fan club has been posting about short fuse as of late. Attributing to some sort of bad break up, or something equally ridiculous.
My dear friends apparently decided I needed to let off some steam in order to get some of whatever was bothering Me off my chest. So this lead to the three of us sparring in the VR room. Where I was sitting on the pipes and boxes on top of the sister simulation ah the nostalgically feeling of it. How many times did we sneak off and come here to this specific simulation? It was soothing in its own way for the familiarity of it.I pull out my copy of loveless and begin to read. "Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess, We seek it thus, and take it to the sky, Ripples form on the water's surface, The wandering soul knows no rest." I could feel Angeal next to me with his arms crossed. Sephiroth was on the main canon letting the breeze slide over him. That odd feeling I have had for the past few weeks came back but seemingly stronger. Irritating me all the more because I could not pinpoint where it comes from or why I`m feeling it.
Suddenly something I haven`t felt before is pulling at me. Not in a harmful way. But like gentle fluttering Of wings shifting the air. I close my eyes briefly at the odd feeling. When I open them again. I notice I no longer am on the sister ray. Or any where in the VR room. But that's not possible. I know for a fact I had not left. I get up from sitting. Putting my left arm out to touch the VR settings the room should bee set in. Not how it looks now. Although this place looked like no place I had ever seen before. It had tall cliffs covered with bits of moss, with ruin look structures crossing between the cliffs. With patch of green grass having giant gash likes fissures slicing threw on the ground with small paths weaving threw heading off some where. As bits of sun light and shadow played along the cliff walls and along the ground, The air was scented with something I had never smelled it fruity? Or perhaps flowery? Maybe it was a mix, or something. It was odd I could not place it.
Noticing the from the corner of my eye some one I turn. "Who in the name of the Goddess are you? And how did you get in here?"Frowning slightly because I could not sense their presents. I was a 1st class solider for crying out loud. But I couldn't`t sense a little girl. But something was strange about her. She had on an white dress that at the bottom it changed to a blue. Around the neck line it was done in beads. A matching necklace of colorful bright chunky beads was around her small neck. Her arms where wrapped in bits of leather. With a head dress that connected to a veil. Her hair was silver blueish. And her eyes so intently staring at me were soothing green. They held little or no emotion. At lest that from what I could tell. Afraid she had not heard me. Perhaps she was deaf or a mute? I was going to restate or ask. When she parted her lips.
"If they believe strongly enough they can sense me. When I gaze Upon them." She said in a soft voice. "I go by many names. Paddra Nsu Yeul is one of them. But such a name... it was given to me long ago. I am here because of you. You have called out to me." He stood there bewildered by this girl. He doesn't`t know her nor does he recall ever supposedly calling for her. Not having met her before now. This girl ah Yeul was it? Obviously lost her fucking mind. In cases like this its best to gentility steer the crazies into not harming you or them self's. Mainly themselves in this case. He noticed She had a small smile on her face. "You can believe , that I am crazy to you`re hearts desire. But you did call out to me. You see I am the Goddess. One of many in fact. I happen to be the one of Gifts, Life, Death, and Rebirth. When you so passionately read from the book you always carry... It calls out. And sense I am one who deals with Mortals, It is to me whom it calls out to the most. It is not limited to just the book, It is you`re true belief in the goddess that is what seeks me out as well." He was slightly alarmed cause he know he didn't`t say anything about thinking she was crazy. Could she read minds that was impossible. Wasn't it? But oddly he couldn't`t shake the feeling of knowing what she was saying rang far to true.
He asked her "Well what sort of gifts does a goddess have or for that matter give?" he wanted to know slightly curious. If this was a ruse he at lest wanted to be amused by what she could think of on the spot. Her eyes only shining in seriousness she replied in the same soft but airy voice. "I am able to see the future, and can guide those who are in need down the correct path. Just because I am a goddess does not mean my eyes can see all. I am limited and unable to see the past if I do not already know it. I protect the souls of those who are yet to be born, those who have died till they can be reborn if they so desire. As for the gifts I can give... There are boundless in possibility."
Thinking over what she had said. Now wanting to know if she really was what she claimed. Why him would she pick. Not that I`m undeserving or anything. But a goddess can have anyone they want really. It just makes me wonder why me out of all the people on Gaia. "Yeul..." She smiled . " It is because you believe when others do not. And from that belief is how I began to be called by you. I have decide because of that And why no other would do. And the scent you could not place earlier is a special flower called ghost rose." She produced a flower that simmered and glowed. Unlike anything I have ever seen the smell from earlier getting stronger at the appearance of it. "It`s time you have to go for now, We will meet again." She slowly started walking to me with a slight limp to it. I wondered about it. Closing my eyes as I feel her place the ghost rose in my hand. I smile at the scent.
Opening my eyes I see Sephiroth and Angeal in the same spots as before. Only they look at me very oddly. Sephiroth had an odd look cross his face. I don`t pay any mind to it as I get up from wear I was sitting. Feeling a sense of ease I had not in weeks."When the war of the beasts bring about the world's end, The goddess descends from the sky, Wings of light and dark spread afar, She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting." I felt compelled to say it. I clutch the rose that is hidden in the pages of my book. "Well I hate to cut this short, But I just remembered I had some where to be in a little while. Shall we try again some other time?" I don't wait for a replies. As I deactivated the VR simulation and walk out the door.
I head to elevator so I can get to solider floor. So that I might be able to get my apartment sooner. When I pass Tseng on the way. I over hear him giving some orders to a few of his Turks "According to Rude, Reno has been acting rather odd. I want all of you when you not on a Mission to keep an eye on his actives..." I pass into the elevator frowning at what I heard. It `s not everyday that one of the Turks goes around issuing such orders. Shrugging it off for now. After all what business does a solider have with Turk affairs. But for some reason it unsettles me. Hitting the button for the solider floor. Watching as the doors close with a light Whooshing sound. Heading to the wall. I hold the flower in between the my fingers in the semi closed book. Keeping my fingers in between the the pages to keep it from getting pressed. But also hiding it from the prying eyes who would try to glance at it.
As I lean against the wall of the elevator. I think about the brief look on Sephiroth`s face when I had just before I departed. It was not a look I was used to seeing on my friends face and I could not place it. was he perhaps disturbed, concerned scared? If he was what could make him so. I never seen him look like that in all the years I have known him. It was to say they very least odd. I would have to ask him about it. But right now I had to get to my apartment and place this rose some where away from prying eyes. Why I felt the need to do this. I really have no clue. I just new that it was something that would never be found on Gaia. If some one should find it in possession they would question where I got it. I had no answer for them that would not make them think I was not fucking insane. No thank you I didn`t want to end up in some padded room. Or worse the labs. Cause they would think I had Mako poisoning. And having possible fits causing me to see things. The Soft ding of the bell indicating we had reached the correct floor, Brought me out of my musing. I walk out of the elevator making my way down the hall. Heading to the housing section of the solider floor to the apartments. It something only the 1st class one`s received . I go to my apartment punch in my code and swipe my key card. The door opening a faint beeping, fallowed by soft whoosh. I head into my apartment. A soft air locking noise could be heard as the door closed. That only enhanced 1st classes would be able to hear.
Oh quick note I might be un able to write some updated for either story for a few days. Cause well my grandparents are in from out of state but I shall try to get to it as soon as possible.
and sorry my story's are not all that long I find it harder to stay in tuned with the mused for them. And to keep the flow of the piece for a long time.
If you wish to review. Go head I will only respond to those who can word theirs with out trying out right rude about it. I do hope you enjoy the things I make as much as I do making them.
