Chapter 2
A New World
As I took in my first breathe of fresh air a swoon of peace just came over me. I smiled to myself; for once I had a reason to smile. I realize why the children I heard earlier were laughing without a care in life.
I let my feet guide me, I didn't miss a detail of the landscape, the birds, the trees, the houses, everything was so different. The houses weren't shabby looking anymore; they were made from fine materials, and painted bright colors.
I walked over to a large oak, and sank down to my bottom and just sat there in admiration.
How long was I gone? The sounds of the world didn't seem to change when I was in my cell.
I felt my eyes get heavy; I gave in by shutting them soon after falling into a slumber.
When I awoke there was a petite figure kneeling before me. I must have startled her cause she fell over backwards onto her rear.
I gazed into her eyes and fell into a trance. She was beautiful, matter of a fact she was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. She looked at me and smiled sweetly.
Beautiful she was, I hate to admit it but I now have a small understanding of the passion Cloud had for the cetra girl Aeris.
The woman rose to her feet and offered me her hand. Without hesitation I took it, my eyes never left hers.
I felt like a fool, but any male would do the same as me.
"I'm Akina"
Her voice was so clear and entrancing. Akina that was Japanese for Spring Flower wasn't it? If it was it is entirely understandable, just by looking at her, she did look like a flower, so fragile and beautiful.
Akina looked at me still smiling,
"And you are?"
I felt kind of stupid I should have introduced myself a lot sooner.
My name Sephiroth might be remembered and feared for the destruction I have down, should I really tell her my name, what if it scares her away…maybe I should just come up with one… But if she were to find out my real name… nah I'll take the risk.
"I'm Damien"
I choked out, what a name; out of all the names I could possibly come up with Damien was the one that escaped my lips.
"Damien huh, that's an interesting name. If you don't mind me asking Damien why were you sleeping under a tree?"
She emphasized my new name as she spoke.
She had me what was I going to say OH I was just released from a confinement tank, and I'm practically a fugitive!
"Tired"
I yawned hoping it was some what believable. Akina still had an ear to ear smile painted on her face. She was making me feel uncomfortable so I rose from my sleeping spot, looked her in the eye and told her that I better go and with that I walked passed her and into the market area.
I could feel her piercing eyes burning 2 holes into my back as I walked away from her. The Market area was swarming with people. I needed to find a place to stay, but shelter costs money, and money I did not have. I had two choices, I could either mug someone who looked to be wealthy, or I could sell something I found or carried with me.
I gave it some thought, I'd rather mug someone, since the only thing I really carry with me is materia and I am not quite sure if today's civilization use materia. I searched for a quieter street, when I found one I leaned against one of the buildings and waited for the perfect victim. It felt like hours before someone walked by.
With my great agility I ran in front of them and hit them on a pressure point on the back of the neck, causing the person to loose consciences. I carefully sat them down on the ground, and search for a wallet or a pouch to carry money in.
I found a small leather wallet in the "Victims" pants pocket. I skimmed through it, I hit lucky this guy had about 500 dollars on him. I quickly left the scene before someone saw me kneeling beside the sprawled out unconscious male rummaging through his wallet.
The sky darkened and the streets died down. Still I had no where to go. There were plenty of shops, and restaurants but there was no Inn in site. I wandered the streets until the sky was completely black. A soft rain fell from the sky. If I didn't find shelter fast the rain would come down harder and I would drench.
I found a large building looked to be about 3 stories high. I took an assumption; I assumed it was an Inn. Lucky to save me from total humiliation it was an Inn. I paid the clerk the fee for a room, received a key and ascended the spiraling flight of stairs.
This inn was beautifully decorated, the hall walls, were red and pine, and the trimming was in gold. The carpet was a rich ruby red, and the lights were dim. Very different from what I remembered Inn's looked like. They were usually ugly and not well cared for but this place was FORSURELY took in cared for. I scanned the doors as I walked past the numbers were engraved in the door with gold paint, I read aloud quietly too myself 20, 21, 22 ah here we go room 23.
I put the key that was given to me by the clerk and put into the keyhole. There was a small click then I opened my room door.
It was just as nicely decorated as the hallways. The floor was covered with a waxed pine, and the walls were a ruby red with gold trimming, on the center of the ceiling hung a gold chandelier. The room was fairly bare though. In the corner of the room was a queen sized bed, the blankets and pillow covers matching the colors of the room. Across from the bed was a small black box with a glass screen on the front and under the screen was a series of little black buttons.
Also there was a small cooking area, and a washroom.
I was too tired to thoroughly examine instead I walked over to the bed, took off my large coat and sword holster, and collapsed onto the bed. I sank right into it, I couldn't resist the urge to close my eyes and drift away into a deep sleep.
A/N
Not as good as chapter 1 I know but hopefully good enough. Please tell me your honest opinion.
