Cloud 9
By GothCloud
Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy 8. This idea, however, is mine. And the title comes from a song from Wolf's Rain. So, even if it's highly unlikely that any entity connected to either of these things will actually read fanfics, don't sue me. Sue the Brick (AKA Squall) or the Painted Brick (AKA Rinoa). Have a nice day! ZAFT no Tameni!
A/N: One, this is not to be taken seriously. Two, the sorceress Seifer is talking about is Ultimecia.
(This fic is dedicated to a highly misunderstood character who really wanted to realize his dream, to bring happiness to everyone by bringing his dream into reality...)
Seifer: This might sound a little crazy. But if I had a chance, I would do it all over again. To be her Knight. To re-make the world in her glorious image. To end the sadness, to end the Sorrows of the World. To bring the smiles to the children of the world, because I never could smile as a child. For the children who need parents, She and I will be their parents. We will build our version of Wonderland, our Utopia on Earth. Where the children's laughter fills the air like the music of a thousand angels. It has always been my dream to bring the Children of the World and all my friends along with me to Paradise. That great Heaven on Earth that I have dreamed of since I was young. And the Sorceress shall bring us all to this place. All we have to do is believe. All we have to do is make it so that our visions and Her vision become the One Vision. The Sorceress and I are one. Two sides of a coin. Both of us so very misunderstood. She was never truly evil. All she wanted to do is bring us all happiness and give the world a little piece of God.
Can you not see why I chose the path of a Sorceress's Knight? Her vision of the World was perfect. A world where nobody will ever be left behind to be consumed by the All-Encompassing Darkness. A world where we would all become one family, and She would be our Mother. She would have nurtured us all...but my friends couldn't see Her dream. She had a plan for each and every one of us.
Squall, Irvine, Zell and I would be her Knights. But I would be the Head Knight. We will be at her Table, serving her, protecting her. Quistis, Selphie, and Rinoa, however, will be doing all their service from the Inside. Nobody sees how close to Destruction the World truly is. But...She will save us. All we must do is give ourselves to Her. And She will wrap us all in her white wings of Love, Light, and Compassion. She will wrap her wings around the world, repairing the World.
Yes, She shall bring us to the Truest Peace. The Peace that she shall deliver on her brilliant, shining wings of Love, Life, and Joy. We were about to go to this place. She was going to bring us to a world where children would never know Sorrow. She would have wiped the tears of crying children away.
Yes, Children. Carry my vision with you. Carry Her dream with you. Our vision of Paradise.
(After that, the nice men in the white coats wheel him off to a white padded room, straitjacketed up.)
Seifer: I'm not insane. I was a great Knight of the Fair Lady Ultimecia... My weapon did not somehow backfire on me and mess with my brain...and I'm not crazy! The sky was really changing colors when we were flying! And then I gave the planet a big hug! Children were cheering for me! Quistis said that she would be the Heir to the Sorceress...No, really! I'm not crazy!End. Zeke Zeon!!
