Beads of sweat dropped from the face of the young SOLDIER. His eyes green from the Mako infusion, he could strike fear into the heart of the strongest man with just a single, piercing glare. His long silver hair blew around him as he stood there, his opponent defeated. Sephiroth had just beaten the first challenge of becoming a SOLDIER elite, and he loved the thrill.
The skies were black around Kalm, the dragon attacking the small town had just been felled and it was nearly unbelievable that just one single warrior accomplished this task. Sephiroth's sword, the Masamune was starting to shine as sunlight broke through the black clouds. Rain started to poor as this happened and taking a rag from his pocket, Sephiroth wiped his sword clean before finally returning it to it's sheath. He raised his head and opened his mouth to catch the rain.
"I have been attacking this evil beast for nearly a month now." He said to himself, "Finally I can rest." He started to laugh, "It took so long to defeat the beast yet the battle only lasted a matter of minutes. At least I'm still alive."
Residents of the town started emerging from there houses. They all wanted to see how many people had defeated the dragon, not knowing that it was just one man. Upon seeing Sephiroth, just one small, nearly weak looking man, none of them could believe their own eyes. Sephiroth could hear talking around him,
"Who is that man?", "How did he manage that?", "Will he be coming for us next?"
Sephiroth laughed again,
"I am not here to kill any of you, I am a member of SOLDIER."
"It's true, look at his eyes." Shouted one man,
"Look, his sword, only a member of SOLDIER could wield a weapon of such size."
Sephiroth was loving the attention, he had grown up alone and never had parents or friends. He was always alone and quiet. He was invited back to the bar in Kalm where he received offers for drinks and food yet he offered to pay for everyone to drink and eat.
"We owe you, let us pay." Shouted a chorus of men,
"Don't be silly, keep your money my friends, you need it." Replied Sephiroth, "It would be my honour to pay."
For the first time in his life, Sephiroth was enjoying himself with other people. Normal people, none of them rich nor poor yet all of them kind and giving. After the festivities in the bar, Sephiroth headed towards the inn. On his way there he noticed a house for sale. He liked the look of it and decided to himself that he would sleep on the idea of buying it. He did not own a house of his own and if he became a SOLDIER elite he would be able to live outside of Midgar, only having to return for missions. He liked the townspeople and decided that it would become a good home. Upon awakening the next morning he went down to the house and talked to the seller.
"Hello sir, what may I do for you?" asked the man,
"What is the asking price on this house?" replied Sephiroth.
"200,000gil. But as you saved the village I can take the price down to 150,000gil for you."
"Would it be possible to hold the sale of this house back for two months?"
"Why sure it would. Their haven't been any other buyers anyway so I'd be happy to."
"Thank you my good man." Said Sephiroth, "I must now depart this town and return to Midgar. I shall come back within two months."
Sephiroth left later that day to return to Midgar. He reach the outskirts of the city and removed a phone from his pocket, dialling a number he placed it to his right ear.
"SOLDIER pickup required."
"Roger. We need your name before sending pickup."
"Sephiroth."
"Oh, sorry for the delay Mr Sephiroth, the pickup is on it's way."
"Thank you."
The transport arrived a few minutes later and Sephiroth boarded it. As it lifted off, a brilliant view of Midgar came into sight. Each of the 8 reactors were burning away and the lights shone from Shinra building towering high above the slums of the city. This was Sephiroth's home for the moment but he was looking forward to living in Kalm very soon.
