The forgotten city. To some a fearful monument of destruction, to some, a place of mystery and adventure, and to others, a graveyard, where friends returned to the lifestream. I belong to the latter. They're all here. Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, Yuffie, Reeve, Cid, Marlene… even Denzel. Only Vincent and me are left, now. After all these years….. my friends ended up together. In a way, I feel a little left out. When I die, I'll join them, too. My name is Nanaki. But Red XIII has grown on me over the years, so I'll stick with that. My frequent visits to this place are what keep me going, that… and my children, Ai and Yu. But, don't get me wrong, I am not dying…. I have still many years to go, and one last battle to fight. This is where my story begins.
That day I was showing my children the ruins of Midgar. The result of Comet's destruction. It was covered in Moss, decaying. They found it hard to believe such petty ruins were ever the home to a great empire. While we looked upon the city, a jet landed there. It looked suspicious; Midgar was rarely visited these days. I ordered Ai and Yu to return home, and into Midgar's Ruins I Dived. The jet landed at the Shinra HQ ruins. This Bewildered me as to why someone would land there of all places- but I would soon find my answers. Out stepped a red haired woman, with piercing eyes. Eyes I had gazed into before. But the name escaped me. She made her way to the shinra building, followed by two young men, and a large number of Lamia. (These are half snake, half women monsters). I ran in pursuit, staying hidden at all times. The Shinra building was so different to what I remembered in ruins, yet it still had the same horrible feeling. The woman made her way to the uppermost level. 'Tell me again, Boss- why is this journal is so important- why did we come all this way for it?', One of the men asked. 'The journal and files here contain the thoughts and knowledge of my great, great grandfather, Rufus Shinra- the Man who led Shinra to its Glory', The woman replied. I gasped- those were the eyes- the eyes of a Shinra. 'With these files, I shall share his Genius, and Restore Shinra to its former glory', She continued, ' With Midgar as its empire, once more- with the help of my Lamia army'. They searched through files and books in the safes of the building- before finally finding the correct journal. 'Now to Wutai', Miss. Shinra announced. 'But, why Wutai?', one of her lackeys asked. 'You fool! We can't fight without decent materia! And Wutai is flowing with the stuff!', She groaned. They made their way to the jet, leaving me stunned. I knew another battle was on the way.
Yes, so much has changed all these years- and more is to come. But you will never know unless you continue to follow the Aftermath saga, so stay tuned!
Note- okay, okay, its my first time writing in this way, but I'm learning! Please tell me what you think, and have a look at some of my other stuff- personally, I feel it's a lot better. The aftermath saga is leading up to a story I'll be writing soon witch will be worth reading! Thanks for your time!
