I own nothing and nobody.
I first story ever, I could use some criticism I don't want flat out flames.
I looked into the eyes of that kid, he was so innocent, so ignorant to the danger he was in by simply holding the keyblade. Now I understood why Hades was so persistent in the fact that the kid should die. Apparently, he then felt I was taking too long to dispatch of the pest and his two companions, the duck and the dog, he decided to take out all of us at once and sent in Cerberus. I was nearly killed in the attack.funny me, Cloud Strife, the man who killed Sephorth, nearly killed by that overgrown mutt. It was Hercules, the man I was sent to kill, who saved me. Sora and his two companions somehow defeated the guardian to the gates of the underworld.
That was a few hours ago, now I sat on the stairs in front of the Coliseum looking down at the ground and feeling sorry for myself. There I was, questioning my strength for probably the millionth time in my life. I can't believe how much I miss her. I was never strong, she made me strong. My thoughts and self pity were interrupted by Sora, "Hey, are you all right?"
The kid sounded concerned, something I wasn't used to hearing in regards to my own health. "Yeah," I answered simply, hoping that it would be enough for the kid to leave me to my thoughts.
I had no such luck, Sora seemed to have another plan. He spoke again, sounding shy and unsure of where he was going with his conversation. "So why did you go along with him anyway?"
I knew it was coming, I hoped that he wouldn't bring up why I had joined with the most notorious of the gods, the lord of the underworld and king of the dead, Hades. I had to tell him, I knew it was useless trying to keep it from someone like him. I've known many like Sora, people who you can only tell the truth to as they will always know when your lying and won't stop questioning you till you tell the truth. I again answered his question honestly, surprising myself in how much I was telling him already. "I'm looking for someone, Hades promised to help. I tried to exploit the power of darkness, but it backfired. I fell into the darkness and I couldn't find the light."
I knew I surprised him with how much I had said, he was phased for a moment before he spoke again. They were words of encouragement, something I had not expected. "You'll find it. I'm searching too."
He too was searching? This I couldn't believe. This child is searching. I had to know more about what he was searching for. I had to tell him. I had to give him the advice I never got and now was paying for. "For your light? Don't lose sight of it."
That was all I could tell him. I had other matters to attend to; I still had to find her. Slowly, still sore from the attack by Cerberus, I rose from the step and began to walk away. I had only moved a few feet when I heard Sora call out to me. "How about a rematch sometime? Fair and square, no dark power involved."
I stopped for a moment and looked over my shoulder to see him. A shy smile crossing his face from his request. In battle the kid had potential, with some practice he could stand a chance. Still, I couldn't allow myself to fight him again, not with the dark power within me. I turned back to him, flipping my hair from my eyes, "I think I'll pass."
I turned again and started for the gates of the coliseum. I had almost reached the door when again I was stopped by his voice. "Then, what about coming with us? Maybe you could find what you were looking for."
This had caught my attention, Sora was now inviting me to join. I few short hours ago I was ordered by Hades to eliminate them and now he acted as if we were old friends. I wished I could go but I didn't deserve to see my light again. I sold my soul to see her and now I didn't have the right to be near her. I turned to Sora, "Sorry. I shouldn't. I have done too much evil to go with you."
Sora though was still persistent, "Maybe, you could make up for all you've done with those you help."
He was offering me a chance to repent for what I've done. It was something I couldn't turn down, I opened his mouth to reply but the duck, Donald, spoke up first. "No. No no no no NO! He can't go Sora!"
Sora quickly responded, "Why not? He could be useful with all the heartless?"
"It would be meddling!" The duck stood firm in his decision.
"No it wouldn't.I think. Cloud, are you from here?" Sora looked to me with a hopeful smile.
I was shocked, this kid was putting so much effort into defending me. I had to answer honestly. "No, my world was destroyed. Soon afterwards Hades approached me and made me an offer I couldn't pass up."
Sora immediately spoke up, "See, its not meddling! So come on Donald."
The duck closed his eyes and opened his mouth, looking like he was about to make a point. He stood like that for a second but nothing came out. A moment later his face dropped and he finally let me come with them. Sora moved away from Donald and spoke to me again. He sounded shy again as he spoke to me again, "So, Cloud, ummm.are you sure you want to come with us? Maybe find your light."
I thought about it for a short moment and decided that maybe, just maybe I could find her again. I tried to sound as calm as I could, despite the fact I was overjoyed at this turn of events. "I might was well. That is, if you still would accept me."
At my words Sora jumped, fist in air and I picked up the buster sword and begin to fallow my newest allies. I heard Goofy speak up, "Now, where should we go, Sora?"
Sora told him we would e heading to the next unknown area. Goofy responded shouting "Ok then com'on!"
Together we started to the massive doors that were the exit to this world, Sora leading followed by Donald and Goofy and me behind. As I let my tattered cap fall to the ground to be forgotten, I said to myself, "Don't worry Tifa, I promise I'll find you soon."
