TEASER:
FINAL FANTASY VII: ANGEL'S CHILD
She stands on the hill overlooking the ruined city of Midgar. In front, the city itself. Behind her, a large tombstone with a sculpture of Meteor on top. Her father's final resting place. She holds in her hand a grand sword, just given to her by her father. Turning from the city, she looks at the lifeless body of her protector. His gauntlet lay next to him as blood drips from his arm and forehead. She remembers him telling her that until his gauntlet is removed from his body, he cannot die. Only a few minutes ago, the red-caped man had come looking for her, only to meet the lover of her father's murderer. They had fought. The woman used a dagger to remove the gauntlet, shooting him in the head just after. The woman left without searching for the child. They will meet again, the girl knows. She remembers what her guardian said before being shot. He said something to the woman, something he had read in a book about her dad:
Created by man,
To be killed by another.
Before death he comes,
Makes a woman a mother.
A daughter she'll be,
Someday caught in a great bind.
With faith in her heart,
Inner strength she soon will find.
Born on a new world,
Father's friend take home and guard.
Enemies she'll make,
But all efforts will be marred.
Two choices she has,
One to leave dad dead and weak.
Two makes her a bane,
Father's vengeance she will seek.
With a pang of both regret and hope, she makes her decision. She will track down and kill those who murdered her unknown father. She approaches the corpse and as she lifts her friend's body to bury it, she says a silent prayer. She does not realize that with the vow she has just made, she has just become part of the largest fight for control of the planet. Larger, even, than the fight her father was a part of. A fight that, in the event of her loss, the world will fall to darkness. If she wins, she will have the choice to turn the world to darkness or rule with peace. Should she win, she will have the power to, at any time, bring back from the dead any one person she chooses.
Including her father…
