I do not own FFXIII or FFVII
Her beauty far surpassed that of a red rose,
However, her aura projected that of a soldier.
Her eyes were a brilliant ice blue,
They seemed to freeze my heart every time she gazed into my eyes.
"Who are you?" she asked, her rough voice splitting the air in two,
"Sephiroth, and you?" I asked in reply.
"Lightning." She replied,
Her voice cut through the silence like Zantestuken could a warrior.
Lightning... her personality was much like the element,
Electric, dangerous, unpredictable... striking.
She was nothing like the women from Gaia,
She was a warrior goddess, she was perfect.
I never thought that I could be capable of loving someone,
But, Lightning made my heart skip a beat; she was the one I found myself falling for.
"Why are the army after someone like you?" I asked curiously,
"I'm a Pulse l'Cie. An enemy of the state. l'Cie are the servants of a fal'Cie, a god like mechanism and are given a Focus and abilities that a mortal could only dream of." She replied sadly, her eyes darkening from the shadows of doubt lurking in her expression.
"What happens if you don't complete this Focus?" I asked,
She sighed and shook her head before looking me square in the eyes.
"I become a Cie'th. A zombie, fated to wonder the wilderness for all eternity." She replied and looked down at the ground, ashamed of what she had become.
I lifted her chin so that her eyes connected with mine,
"I won't let that happen." I said in reply and pressed my lips gently against hers.
Her lips zapped me with the energy that she was named after as I wrapped my arms around her waist,
Her hands wound themselves around my hair as our embrace burned to the equivalent of Ifrit's Hellfire.
For once, I felt complete, I felt like I had found the missing piece,
And maybe, just maybe, that missing piece was love.
I think I may have found my soul mate,
I think I am in love with a l'Cie.
