Rae woke up, only to hear a soft snoring sound coming from the floor. She
looked down to see Sephiroth sleeping peacefully on the floor. She giggled
quietly to herself. Rae poked Windom to wake him up. He woke up, not sure
why he was woken up. Rae got up and put her blanket on Sephiroth. She
carefully walked up to her closet, trying not to step on Sephiroth. She
opened it, and went inside to change her outfit. When she exited the
closet, in white pants that look oriental and a small peach colored top,
she saw that Sephiroth was awake.
"Sorry for the inconvenience." Sephiroth apologized.
"That's okay, um didn't Vincent show you where your room is?" She asked.
"No."
Rae sighed, and continued to make her way out of the room. Sephiroth chose to follow. Rae walked up many flights of stairs, until they came to a door. Rae opened the door, went through, waited for Sephiroth to come through, and shut it. They were now in a huge library, with rows upon rows of books. Despite the appearance in the dark hallways and the flights of stairs they went up, the library had an enormous amount of light coming through the large windows on the ceiling and walls.
"Don't the books fade?" Sephiroth asked.
"Not because of the sun, they won't. I put a spell on the glass, so the sunlight won't ruin the old or new books. I also put a spell on the book that are older than 1000 years old, so they won't crumble." Rae replied.
"Oh, Rae, you're here." A strange orange-haired woman, sitting at the front desk, said.
"Hi, Quistis." Rae greeted.
Rae directed Sephiroth to a part of the library where the corner of the glass is; it is also where a table is. Sephiroth sat down at this table, enjoying the view of the vast forest on one side and a large field of various flowers on the other.
"Enjoying the view?" a young, brown-haired man said. He also had a scar on his face.
"Huh? Uh, yeah." Sephiroth replied.
"I'm Squall, nice to meet you."
"uh, I'm Sephiroth, nice to meet you to."
"May I sit here?"
"oh, sure, have a seat." As Squall was sitting down, Rae came around the corner, carrying an extremely old book.
"Oh, hi Squall." Rae greeted.
"Hi Rae."
"Sephiroth new here, so I hope you and maybe some others might help explain to him what has happened."
"He's new here? Well, I knew I never seen him before."
Rae sat down next to Sephiroth, and put the book in front of him.
"What's this for?" Sephiroth asked.
"Well, I thought you might want to know how I was able to get into "your world"." Rae replied.
"Huh?"
"You see, all worlds are connected through dimensions." Squall simply explained.
"Oh, I knew that. But only powerful Sorceresses and Magicians can travel through the dimensions, right?"
"Correct." Rae answered.
"Then how did you travel trough them?"
"I was a born sorceress."
"But that doesn't make sense."
"Fluke in the genes." Squall replied.
"Squall! That's mean!"
"It's the truth!"
"Not really. Father was a very powerful sorcerer." Sephiroth blushed at her comment.
"Whatever."
"Sephiroth, does this make sense to you?" Rae asked.
"Uh, kind of." Sephiroth replied. "Okay. I'll put this away." As Rae was about to grab the book, a blond haired boy with a monkey tail took it.
"Allow me."
"Zidane, thank you, but I was going to put it away."
"It's okay, I'll do it."
"I'll let you do it, but I wish that you wouldn't follow me around all the time." Her tail flicked furiously as she commented.
"Okay." His eyes followed the back and forth motion of her tail. Zidane ran off to put the book away.
"Lets leave before he comes back." Rae said.
"Okay."
"I think I'll stay here." Squall replied.
Both Rae and Sephiroth left the library, and went down the flights of stairs. They were now on the first floor.
"Rae, Where were you?" A tall lady wearing a black dress with belts in the front, asked.
"I was in the library, Lulu." Rae answered.
"Okay, and who's your friend?" Lulu asked.
"More than a friend, may we go now? We're hungry." Rae asked.
"We" meaning "You", correct?"
"Yes."
"Then go." Rae and Sephiroth went down stairs to the kitchen that Sephiroth was in before. Sephiroth sat down at a table.
"You weren't really hungry, were you?" He asked.
"I was a little hungry." She said as she went into the fridge and pulled out an apple.
"Oh, but I have a feeling I wasn't brought down here just to get a snack."
"Oh, I wanted to show you this." She said with a mouthful of apple. She clamped down hard on her apple, so she wouldn't lose it, moved to a wall, touched it, and it lifted upward. What was now in its place was a wall with five wooden swords on it. With the apple still in her mouth, she picked up one sword and tossed it to Sephiroth. As soon as the sword left her hands, she took a bite out of her apple.
"This is what you wanted to show me? It's just a wooden sword." He said as he caught it.
"It's not just any wooden sword. It was hand-crafted by me, and it is also magically enhanced." She said with a mouthful of apple again.
Sephiroth studied the sword. The handle was magnificently handcrafted, every little detail beautifully done. The blade sharp, and he noticed a glint of sparkle on it.
"You like?" Rae asked.
"Yes. I can't believe you did this." Sephiroth replied.
"I was thinking that we should test them out." She said while balancing the apple core on her nose.
"We could, but I don't want to dent them."
"I told you, they're magically enhanced." She replied, still balancing the apple core on her nose.
"One question."
"What is it?"
"Why are you balancing an apple core on your nose?"
"I don't know." She took the apple core off her nose and tossed it in the air. Windom appeared and ate it.
"Here." Sephiroth gave the sword back. Rae put it in its place, touched another part on the wall, and the wall looked as normal as it was before.
"So, you remember?" Rae asked.
"Yes."
"Good, we can go now."
"Where are we going?"
"To revive Cloud."
"Why?"
"I promised him some answers."
"Okay."
Rae, Windom, and Sephiroth were outside the castle, when a portal opened up. They went through, back to the battlefield where Cloud's body and the others lay.
"Sorry for the inconvenience." Sephiroth apologized.
"That's okay, um didn't Vincent show you where your room is?" She asked.
"No."
Rae sighed, and continued to make her way out of the room. Sephiroth chose to follow. Rae walked up many flights of stairs, until they came to a door.
