A.N: Guys, I have writers block- so I decided to take a break from Like a Moth to Flame. However, I am currently super inspired to write this fic (which is roughly going to be 26 chapters long in total)! This is a FF Alternate Universe fic with an emphasis on the CloTi Pairing! Supporting cast members will come from other FF games, but this fic is an exploration of reincarnation and family themes and alternate universe situations. OOCness is a given (as is usually the case in my fics).
So if you don't like this kind of story, then feel free to click out! :D But gosh, I am excited to write this (not sure if posting is such a good idea when I'm about to start my honours thesis in less than three weeks :O) STILL GONNA DO IT! Cheer me on friends! WOOHOO!
On with the Prologue then...
Prologue: Another Chance
The sun warmed the barren Planet for the last time.
The Flower Girl who had fought so hard to keep the planet alive clasped her hands in front of her chest and tilted her head upwards, mouthing on final prayer, before letting go. The raven haired Hero of the Planet stepped forward to stand beside the Flower Girl, gently letting his gloved hand settle on her narrow shoulder.
"So… it's finally time to let go."
Aerith nodded, closing her eyes and letting her brown lashes brush atop her cheeks.
"Yes, the Saviour has won. Through her efforts, a New World has been born. All these souls… the ones that died without completing their purpose… they will be reborn there." Aerith's pink lips curled into a happy smile as she turned to the man beside her. "Zack, Cloud and Tifa will finally have their chance at happiness. In the New World, they can grow up and fall in love and be together!"
Zack found himself grinning along as Aerith giggled and clapped her hands together in happiness.
"Just how they were supposed to end up before ShinRa went and screwed the Planet over," casting a glance at Aerith, Zack winced at the distant look in Aerith's green eyes. "Sorry, I didn't mean to bring the conversation back to… the end."
Aerith shook her head and forced herself to smile.
"It's okay. Sure, I'm a little sad but now… there's a New World we can go to. We get another chance too," Zack let himself smile as Aerith leaned into his side and took a deep breath. "Hey, Zack?"
"Yeah?" The Old Planet before them began to crack under the impressive heat of the Sun. Aerith payed the destruction little attention, almost as if she were trying to avoid the pain it would bring her. She instead tilted her head up to look directly into the glowing mako eyes she fell in love with lifetimes ago.
"This time… let's stay alive and together long enough to have that family we always wanted." The Planet burst into flames and shattered, letting out a blinding white light that engulfed the Flower Girl and the Hero whole.
Zack tightened his grip on Aerith and buried his face into the crook of her neck, silently vowing to never let go.
"Spike… see you in the New World."
R&R please! :D
