Secrets of the City
Ok, so here's my story.
This is a story that occurs after the game, about 2 or 3 years later.
Yes it's going to get a bit angsty later. And I've also put the rating up for later chapters, possibly some violence, and of course, Cid's foul mouth.
Disclaimer:
As this is a fanfiction, I do not own any of the characters mentioned in my story. Except for Nekura, whom is completely my own creation.
I am not making money from doing this, so please don't sue me.
I never was really what one would call an outgoing, or adventurous man.
I never was what anyone could possibly call normal, at all.
That's why I kept to myself.
Until recently, when I had taken on the liberty of joining a couple of rogues, to rid the world of what I believed was my ultimate sin. The one thing that made me feel deserving of my current state. That thing, being whom I had thought to be my son, and one greatest terror to the earth; Sephiroth.
I believed this evil thing was my son, until I had met with Hojo, before our battle against him. After which, I felt a great burden lift from my shoulders. I must say, that it was indeed a lovely thing.
There was only one thing left, which I had left to do. If I failed, my only loved one would never rest peacefully, and I could never feel redeemed of the sins which I bore.
Sephiroth had to be destroyed. I had to save my dear Lucrecia. I had to set her free.
And so we did.
Now that the entire ordeal was over, we all still gathered together, quite occassionally, I found, recollecting about our past travels. Our past struggles. We were far too attached to let go of each other completely.
I sat on the deck of the Highwind, my hair blowing with ease, as the speed of the ship increased, and we made our way from the Ancient Temple Island, and on towards the Northern Continent.
Today was a day of great sorrow, and celebration, all at the same time. A strange mix of emotions, to be sure. But nonetheless, it was an important day to remember.
We had a lot to be thankful for, to our dear savior.
And thus, at the greatest speed that Cid could manage, we rode towards our private sanctuary, and final resting place of the greatest being, whom I had the pleasure to know; Aerith.
