Estuans interius ira vehementi...

The girl opened her eyes, only to find blackness surrounding her. From around her, she could hear the faint sound people singing...it sounded like a chorus...

Estuans interius ira vehementi...

"I know this song..." She thought to herself.

Sephiroth!

Her eyes widened at this, and she backed away.

Sephiroth!

In her fright, she turned away and started to run, only to be tripped over by some rock she couldn't see, and fell to the floor. Suddenly a hand brushed against her cheek, pulling her up into a sitting position. She trembled, for the hand felt so cold...

Though she couldn't see anything, she felt someone lean over to her and whispered in her ear, "Do you remember now, Lisa..?" Around them, the singing became louder.

Estuans interius ira vehementi...

The cool voice continued whispering in her ear, "Burning inside with violent anger." The hand ran itself through her face.

Estuans interius ira vehementi...

"That is me, Lisa...."

Sephiroth!

In front of her, there appeared what seemed to be a large glowing blue triangle. At its middle was a closed eye.

Sephiroth!

"No fear. No anger. No darkness. No loneliness."

The eye suddenly opened. It seemed to burn as it stared directly at the girl.



"Join me."

Author's Notes:

Wee! Another chapter is up!! I know it's short, I intentionally made it that way. Now this time, I think the best background music in reading this chappie is of course, One Winged Angel, otherwise known as Sephiroth's Theme. Heh, just a little suggestion for further reading enjoyment.

Hooray, I got my first reviewer, eye50! Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! Please keep on reading and keep those reviews coming!
