Chapter 1: Arrival
It was a stormy night when the traveling healer arrived at the Seventh Heaven bar and inn. The healer had her hood pulled over her face so no one could see what she looked like. She walked up to the bar and ordered a glass of strawberry water and told the young woman at the bar she needed a room for the night.
Tiffa smiled and nodded, "That will be ten gil." The healer paid and Tiffa set the drink on the counter. The healer lowered her hood and sipped at the water. Her red hair was bright and her eyes were a piercing shade of blue. Her skin was very pale, but healthy.
"The name for the room will be under Enzeru," the healer said and continued to sip her water. "Right, then, room two is yours. Will you need to be awake at a certain time?" Tiffa set the key on the bar and Enzeru picked it up. "No, I'm on vacation," Enzeru replied. "Do you have any bags?" Tiffa asked and looked around. "No, I have every thing I need on me."
Tiffa was beginning to suspect something funny was going on so she decided to question Enzeru further. "So where are you from?" "I don't know. I've been traveling as long as I can remember." "Are you running from something?" It seems as though this question hit a nerve because Enzeru shifted in her seat a little.
"Only a rogue gang or two," Enzeru replied. "Why are they after you?" "Why would anyone be after a healer?" "I understand, stay as long as you like." "Thank you."
Gangs had become a problem since Cloud had defeated Seperoth again. Some people thought that if they had joined his side they could have had a better life while others knew that joining the sons of Jenova would only bring suffering and the death of the planet.
Enzeru finished her water and went up to her room. She hung her rain soaked cloak on a hook and slipped off her damp shoes. "I'm glad the rain storm was thick enough to cover my tracks," Enzeru whispered to herself as she lay down on the bed. It was not long at all before she fell asleep.
