It was a dark, cold night at the town of Nibelheim, when out of the darkness and into the frozen light of one of the many metal street lights along the edges of the pebble covered roads, a man in a black overcoat emerges. This man has blood dripping from the sleeves of the overcoat and out from the bottom of it like he has just got out of a fight, and must have won. He takes the hood off from over his head to let some of the cold snow that has been falling mostly all night soak into his silk, black hair and stick to the wounds on his face.

"Man, I thought I'd never get out of there alive." He says while snow falls hastily onto his head and faintly on his shoulders. He hears foot steps walking slowly down the road towards him. Knowing that this person might attack him, he draws his sword and gets ready to attack.

"No, please. Don't hurt me. I only wanted to warn you." The person says before he gets too close.

"Warn me about what?" The man with the raven black hair asks with his sword still drawn and ready to attack at any given moment.

"Please, sir, I have no intent to hurt you. I only wish to warn you about the people who live in the darkness here." The man replies.

"Yes, I already know about them. This is why I will not let my sword nor my guard down." The man thrusts his sword closer to the one who claims he's warning him. "I can tell your one of them who wants me to trust you."

"I will admit to that but, I have no reason to hurt you or anyone in this town. I only with to-" The man tries to complete himself when he's cut off.

"I can trust no one if I can't even trust myself."

".....well, can I at least get your name sir, if you will not allow yourself to trust me?" The man who still has the tip of a long, curved sword stuck in his face asks softly.

"Why would you want to know my name?... but anyway, my name is Rizuki. I believe you might know me through other people." Just by hearing Rizuki's name the other starts quivering.

"S-so, you are Rizuki. I've been wanting to meet you." The man says while trying to keep from running away from his older brother. "By the way. I'm Sephiroth Morthoeth."

"Wait.." Rizuki thinks about his past for a few minutes before answering his younger brother. Without actually realizing Seph is his younger brother,"Cool, we both have the same last name!"

Seph is both amused and embarrassed by his older brother's reaction. "Yes Rizuki, we do have the same last name. We do because YOU are my older brother...which evidently means we would have the same last name."

"Oohh...so you mean to tell me, I've had a younger brother most of my life and I didn't even know it?!?!" Rizuki says while being confused and mad at Hojo for not telling him about Seph.

"I can't blame you for hating Hojo's guts like I do myself. But to my point." Seph says in agreement with Rizuki. "You and I must get along. Because we've got to get together with the group that's growing here in this town." Seph looks around, notices a couple people who are part of this group and motions them to come over. "There are a few of us here, considering that you KILLED MOST OF THEM!!!"

Rizuki is shocked at his actions before and what Seph is telling him. "I didn't know.... I'm sorry about my cruelty to your other members."

"That's quite alright, Rizuki. But, please don't fight people when you have no reason to." Seph says concerned about both Rizuki and the others, what's left of them anyway. "But anyway, come with us Rizuki." Seph says while heading down the snow covered, pebble road. Rizuki follows Seph and the others without realizing or considering what might and will happen.
