Reflections: Cloud Strife

Reflections: Cloud Strife
Fanfiction by Jessie

    Two directions.
    Evil. Good.

    The thrill of darkness,
    The purity of light,
    To erase a life,
    To return a breath.

    A small, faceless boy
    from a small, nameless village
    seeking to be something more.

    I did not ask for this fate.
    No one will make the choice for me.

    Not Barret.
    Not Red XIII.
    Not Cid.
    Not Yuffie.
    Not Cait Sith.
    Not Vincent.
    Not even Tifa, Aeris, or Sephiroth.
    I realize that now.
    I am my own man.
    It is up to me, and me alone,
    to decide what to use my skills for.
    Zack, it was you I idolized.
    It was you I imitated.
    And, it is in your memory that I fight.

    You taught me everything I know.
    And, you've yet to teach your final lesson.
    I will find Him,
    give Him the Finishing Touch of my sword,
    And avenge you, my friend.
