Chapter three
"FIENDS!" A woman was screaming as she ran towards the main household, "PLEASE! LORD SEYMOUR, HELP!"
Interested and still upset, Cloud walked down the path, and looked to see what was going on. A tall man walked out of the large house, he had long blue hair, and was really ugly. Cloud then watched as strange creatures began to pour out of the entrance to the town.
Seymour pulled out his staff, but before he did anything, Cloud jumped down, and began to slice away at the fiends. Every so often he would put in a special attack for the harder fiends, but they were all pretty easy. Seymour became intrigued with Cloud. Yore, stood at his post and watched in pure amazement as Cloud thrashed his way through. The screams of fiends and the slicing of flesh was all that could be heard.
When things quieted down, and the fiends lessened until they stopped, Cloud sheathed his sword, and wiped the sweat from his face. Then he smiled, "I feel better!"
The guado looked at him, some retreated to their homes, while others were interested. "Who are you stranger?" asked Seymour walking up to cloud.
"I'm Cloud, I take it you're Seymour?" he asked.
"I am. I'm one of the four maesters of yevon, but surely you knew this already."
"…uh…" he looked at the guado, who were anxious to hear his answer, "…yeah."
"Come…We'll dine at my home. A warrior such as yourself deserves such an honor."
Cloud thought of calling Seymour a 'freak' then taking off, but he wanted to see if this man could somehow lead him to his answers. So, he followed him into the building. He could hear whispers behind him from the curious Guado. The inside of the house was dark, and gave Cloud an eerie feeling. But he continued on. Seymour signaled another guado to lead Cloud into a room to await the dinner.
While in the room, Cloud began to think about why he was there. Should he really have gone through that hole? What would that accomplish? But he was still concerned about what Yore had told him. How could Zack and the others be dead? He had just seen them not long ago.
But as he thought, the ground began to shake violently, he was thrown off of the bed where he sat. Pots and books fell from their shelves, crashing to the floor. He got up, maybe he shouldn't be here. The ground shook even more, he had trouble, but still managed to make his way out the door. The town was falling apart, Guado screamed, and began to escape the town. Cloud didn't follow, instead, he went to another exit. But it was horrifying there. Thunder crashed all around him. Rain poured onto his golden hair, and dripped down his huge sword.
He didn't know where he was going, but at that time, he didn't care. What was making the ground shake like that? As he ran, the lightning crashed next to him, barely missing. The occasional fiend would attempt to halt him, but they were sliced in half. He stopped in what was the only building there. Soaked to the bone, a woman came up to him and began to speak strangely. Though he didn't understand, he knew she meant no harm, and he followed her to the back room. He was allowed to stay there, with a small fee of gil. Which was of no loss to him, considering he had plenty. He set his sword next to the door, then lye in the bed. As he stared up at the ceiling, he drifted into a silent slumber.
"…kill them…"
Screams and the firing of guns rang through his head…then…it was silent.
Cloud awoke, he felt strange. He could still hear the roar of the thunder outside though.
"When will it stop?" he mumbled to himself. Then he got up, and retrieved his sword. Then left the building. The rain was still as hard as it was the night before, but he didn't stop. His determination led him straight through, and into a beautiful forest.
