Do you know that feeling when you're on top or a roller coaster, ready to be dropped down in full speed? You're scared, your teeth chattering, hands gripping the vehicle's bar almost too tightly, and your throat was in process of creating a world-shattering scream. But no matter what you do, and no matter how much you loath being there, the fall is inevitable.

That is exactly how I'm feeling right now.

A bad, a real bad thing is going to happen to me and there's nothing I can do about it. You can't force a roller coaster to stop; how about the other passangers? Even if you're the sole rider, let's face the truth; there are some people rejoicing over one's misery. As it is has been said; a new life replaces the lost one.

So what would you do on that roller coaster? Sit quietly and endure the pain? Well, like you have other choice.

However, I guarantee you that the thought of getting it over with as soon as possible would have to be thrown over the window when we're not talking about roller coaster. Forget that gravity defying thing, we're talking about death now. Would you just accept your death like that? Endure the stomach sickening fact that you're going to die, not from a quick death, but a painful, excruciating death?

Again, like you have other choice. Like I have other choice.

Those people stand right in front of me, practically inquiring me to be death because their life is in my hands. Those are the people I love dearly, whom I have been faithful to since I was old enough to understand why some people in my house bow to me everytime I walk pass. Then again, I think sacrificing yourself for those you love wouldn't be so bad, would it? My lips curved into one sad smile as a lone tear escaped my eye.

My family, my friends, my people, my beloved one.

This is the life I am willing to give up for you.

This is the life of your princess, Tifa Lockhart.


A/N: Hi, everyone! I'm attempting my first chaptered CloTi fanfic! Hooray! And so this is the prologue. It's short, I know, because it's just a prologue XD Aaand don't ask me how Tifa had the thought of roller coaster while the setting of this story is in medieval age. Fiction, people, I have the liberality to create anything I wish *hides* Anyway! I hope this looks good enough so maybe a few people would be willing to stay with me until this story is through. The first chapter might be up in a few days. Review is always welcomed!
