Pride is Lost.
Wings….stripped away…
The end is nigh…"

It was beneath the bloody corruption of Shinra's rule that Genesis found this place.
Hidden beneath the plate...
A waning light left to rot…
During such times of deep depressive darkness.
The moment the broken warrior cracked open the doors to the abandoned sanctuary, Genesis felt his aged and weakened form begin to give way. His soul, corrupted by vengeance and withered by the poisons of his quickening, had brought himself inside this lonely church. A place of rest…where his suffering would inevitably end.
The degrading warrior winced with both pain and exertion, as his brittle and broken bones stumbled past the many empty pews and delicately painted glass windows. Each staggered step he made, brought him to where the wood beneath his feet parted to reveal the blackness of the earth. It was a small bed of dirt and a fragile green, which bore pale yellow buds, too afraid to awaken.
At the sight and scent of the strange, fragile colours, the warrior's strength soon gave way, and he fell helplessly to his knees. His weathered leather clothing, once a vibrant crimson, now a sallow and pitiful brownish-grey, fell down in torn pieces around his weak and wounded form.
Suddenly, the broken male coughed and hacked till blood tinged his heavy, shaking palms. Sweat drenched down his brow, seeping into his now flaxen-white hair, as his broken body fought a losing battle with his pained and tortured soul.
"Goddess…please," the lone male rasped in out true agony, as he dropped his hands into the thick soil beneath him. His gloved hands helplessly clutched at the dirty clogs of earth, which haplessly crumbled within his trembling grip.
"Please…" he begged once more, as his tired mako eyes began to ache with fettered shame. "Goddess…This body of mine is broken. Robbed by a poison I can no longer endure …"
The once proud Crimson Commander felt his heart stutter a terrible rhythm in his chest. He coughed heavily once more, his frail form continuing to bleed out beneath his dirty clothes.
"Goddess…Please…" The knelt warrior rasped to the stillness around him. His gaze blurring with desperate emotion, causing the colours beneath him to coagulate into hues tainted with dust and grief. "I know there is no doctor alive who can heal my body. And my time has ran out to exact terrible vengeance for what has been done to me." Dots of black began to filter through the broken warrior's vision, while the tortured wing on his back sporadically quivered and shook. "Bereft of fulfilling my darkness, and bereft of appeasing my shame. Goddess, in my last few moments of life…at least offer me salvation from the pain of my degradation…" Genesis literally begged, even as his wounded form began to dip downwards towards the soil. His broken wing curling around him, cocooning one side of his form in shadow…
'Please…please, embrace this Loveless soul…'
"Goddess…" Genesis all but prayed, as his body began to lose all semblance of strength. His tainted blood dripped through the floorboards and into the dark earth beneath him. "With your gift…the gift of the Goddess…Free me from this broken body…and with your heavenly grace… I shall forever bestow thee, this, my silent sacrifice…'
As the wounded male began to fall down to greet the soft earth, a growing light appeared at the entrance of the church. Soon, the sound of slow footsteps began to echo on the floorboards, footsteps which rapidly hastened when the owner caught sight of a growing pool of blood laying peacefully still amongst the flowers.
"!"
The owner's face, which masked the naïve innocence of mankind, stared in horrific fixation at the blood and black feathers, connected to an angel, which lay face down amongst her bed of flowers.
An angel, which Aeris Gainsborough would soon learn to call Genesis Rhapsodos.

There you have it. A little sample of what will be to come…for those who are interested. Review me your thoughts on what you think of G/A. I would be very curious to see what people think.
Have a very lovely lovely day x
