Final Fantasy 7 Children of the Planet
Yuffie could remember back to those days when her father and the people she knew were obsessed in collecting materia. This was kept as her childhood memory. The obsession over collecting materia still exists today.
Yuffie has growin into this, and she too craved everything about having all the materia in the world or possibly the whole planet. This ambition was driven from her childhood memories, but back then everything was better. People used to be happy in Wutai, but now they seem to always worry and hide a lot more things from stranger's eyes.
A lot of corruption is going on in the planet and land she was living on. Yuffie and her people felt like they were being heavily invaded, or at least starting to become so. Ninjas, just like the people of Wutai, were meant to and had skill of secrecy, stealth, and even stealing, but their skills and purposes seemed to be brought out to extremes.
While in the forests upon another continent from her homeland, Yuffie was sitting against a tree, thinking about her childhood days, and daydreaming about reliving them. This made her feel happy inside. The memories of her first lessons to becoming a skilled fighter within Wutai. She even chuckled at the memories when she used to steal from the markets and when she was caught, she would use the excuse that she was practicing her skills of a ninja in training.
Not many let her off easily, especially her father. He would give her some of his own punishments, and this taught Yuffie that she shouldn't steal from her own village and people, but anywhere else was fine to perfect her thieving skills. So many great memories, and it was so peaceful in these forests. No disturbances to Yuffie's current state of a childish mind.
There was times when Yuffie didn't have all fond childhood memories. When she was really young and small, she used to have horrible dreams, frightening nightmares...These were memories that she simply wanted to bury away and forget forever, but they haunted her...
All in all, she was pretty fortunate throughout her life, and her Father was there to help her get through her bad dreams, but this time it was different, and she didn't have her father there to help her. This time, as she was older and understood more and thought back to it, it really seemed to bother her.
The Nightmare, it had to do with Materia and the planet. A link between these two, and other factors involved that seemed too complicated for her comprehensions. The planet looked like it was going through turmoil, in her dream. She didn't just have this dream just once either while she was a child. It oftened varied.
Now Yuffie doesn't really get dreams, but if she did, would she still get those Nightmares? What did it mean? her train of thought opon her childhood went off track as some people could be heard trepassing into the forest between North Coral and Cosmo Canyon. Yuffie was here first, but maybe she can fight them for some Materia they might be holding.
This was the present now. She had to put away her childhood and the memories she had back then. Her future continued on...
