Gentle Whispers
A short poem from Cloud's POV reflecting on Aeris' death, and his anger seething about Sephiroth. Sephiroth's theme song, "One-Winged Angel", is in italics. Play it for emphasis. Read and review please.
Estuans interius ira vehementi...
Why must things happen
When all seems to fall apart
Why must we fall down
And lose our fragile grips on reality
Estuans interius ira vehementi...
Why, when I finally found something
When I could finally have some purpose
It was all shattered and taken away
How one second can turn the tides of life
Sephiroth...
The irony of it all
How the hunted, all along
Was the hunter
And that an innocent soul was the hunted
Sephiroth...
Sephiroth, the one winged angel
Just as Aeris died, so too
Did a part of me die
Forever to be lost with her
Sors immanis...
But in truth, I know I must go on
Yet a hole burns deep in my heart
Still, I will meet her again...
And I will take everyone with me...
Et immanis...
I will not let Aeris' death be in vain
To give up is to lose everything
And nothing would drive me
To stop my cause
Veni veni venias
Ne me mori facias...
Hope must not be lost
I learned that for Aeris' sake
And my greatest honor is to live
And stand for all she lived for
Veni veni venias
Ne me mori facias...
He's still alive...
I can feel his desire for immortality welling in the earth
But I won't do it alone
Aeris will always be with me, if not in body, then in soul
Sephiroth...
But there's no way I will let go
No way I will lose all that I've fought so hard for!
I will always love her, no matter what,
And nothing can take that away!!!
Sephiroth...
