the Prologue
On one knee, I crouched on the intricately carved stone pillar, a soft wind running through my raven locks, as I stared out at the overpopulated but beautiful city of Olympus beneath me. The back drop was a setting sun peaking out from the horizon, casting red and pink streaks across the sky. If you listen hard enough, you might even be able to hear the trumpets of heroic music whimsically playing in the background.
A very dramatic background…
Of course! I am the Great Ninja Yuffie Kisaragi! A great person always deserves a dramatic background! Nyuk nyuk nyuk!
Setting my sights on my target, I hastily jumped down from the great height on to the concrete ground― ok, I did not exactly jump down from the pillar; I accidentally misplaced my footing and unceromoniously stumbled down in the not most comfortable manner. In simpler terms, I may have tripped and fell down and landed on my butt ― gee, are you happy now?
Anyway, I do not have time to complain about the soreness radiating from my behind, (it stung like crazy mind you) because I had more pressing matters to attend to, such as this very important mission to do and complete!
In relation to this particular very important mission, I had received certain directions from a certain source that my target would be in the current vicinity, possibly wandering around amongst the people here in Olympus. Therefore logically, I began my search from up high, leaping from roof to roof scouting for him.
I had to find him.
Why did I choose such a horrendous task, sailing across oceans, riding gummi ships over mountains, jumping through the several worlds trying to find him? Especially the riding the awful gummi ships that make me puke all the time! I swear on Ansem, they were the worst!
I only did it for Aerith. She was always so caring, a mother-like figure that looked out for me when I was younger. I couldn't bear to look at her tear stained eyes, droplets rolling down her cheek. I felt like I had to do something to help her. Aren't I so kind? The selfless sacrifices I do for people is quite impressive, I am such a benevolent saint, many would shed a tear. I sincerely think they should name a charity after me, or at least a monument of some sort. There were so many statues in Olympus, one of them should be of me and my greatness. What? You don't believe me!
Well okay, maybe you are a little correct. That stupid yet so sexy, Squall Leonhart had to suggest to me to go find 'Aerith's Beloved' after one of our many fights when he was so fed up of seeing her crying. I could tell that he had a little soft spot for the pretty flower girl. He never thought I would take his suggestion seriously because he always expressed annoyance at how I was immature, childish, goalless, but I sure showed him! I was so committed that I made it my sole duty to find her beloved.
I remembered that she remained hopeful, and kept waiting and waiting for him to come back for her so-called-beloved. Ugh, so pathetic. I don't even know why she claimed to love him so. If he truly loved her back, don't you think he would have at least written a letter or something to notify that he remembered her?
Regardless of my thoughts towards him, since I swore to her on my life that I would find him and bring him back, I would! Because I am a great ninja, my name being Yuffie Kisaragi andI would bring him back dead or alive. Okay, don't look at me like that. I know I sound a tad cruel that I don't mind him being dead, but let's be reasonable here; he is a stranger to me after all. I don't even remember him at all. All I know is his name and his appearance.
I mean, I might have cared if he was dead a few years back. But I've changed over the past years, both mentally and physically. Especially when you think you have failed over those past 3 years, trying so hard just to find someone you don't even care about.
If you are a badass veteran like me, you get used to death, you no longer fear it. After my solo trip on this mission, I had learnt so much, wasted so many tears, I learnt how to man the f#ck up and move on.
Returning to the task before me, I stopped when I had finally acquired the location of my target. I looked down at the dark alleyway and made out that two figures were talking quietly amongst each other. One was a bright blue, demonic figure wearing a black cloak, with blue flames for hair ― you come across the weirdest things when you explore the world. However, I could barely discern who the other guy was, as he was hidden in the shadows. Suddenly, the blue creature seemed suddenly aggravated, his hair transformed into a flaming red, as I chuckled to myself lightly at his reaction. Before I knew it, he disappeared within a flash. Once the blue creature disappeared, I finally could get a better look at the remaining figure, as he revealed himself from the shadows. My eyes widened, my heart raced, as I could not believe my eyes!
Before I could process what or who I just saw, he had already begun walking away very quickly. I even had difficulty following him.
Quick turn to the left.
Sharp turn to the right.
And then he disappeared within the crowd.
How could I lose him? After 3 years of searching, I had finally found him and now he just disappeared! I moved off the ledge and down to the market place amongst the civilians to see if I could get a better look. I grumbled to myself, as all I could see was a sea of unknown faces, Suddenly, a dash of red material fluttered pass me, as I followed my eyes to see a male warrior with a torn red cloak walk swiftly past me, heading towards a less crowded area of the market place. Although his back was facing me, I still could see his distinct blonde spiky hair and the bandaged wrapped sword hanging loosely on his back.
At that moment, I could not help but triumphantly smirk to myself.
My goal was halfway done!
I had finally found him…
I had found Cloud Strife…
Now all I got to do…is find a way to bring him back…
A/N- And it's done. Well, I'm thinking whether this should be a short chaptered fic or a long one. I dunno, tell me what you think. If you must flame, then try to do it in the nicest possible way.
