Chapter Two: Stage to settle.

Part one.

Back in Nibelhiem, Cloud finished his practice blow with satisfaction.

Tifa was somewhere in her house. Today they would leave for Midgar, not really what he wanted.

Cloud wished that the little trip would last at bit more, if not for the rest of their lives.

But that was a foolish dream, nothing like that could ever happen. Besides, Tifa wanted to stay next to Marlene and Barnett at Kalm, which he couldn't forbid her to do.

But another side of him was told not to stay longer, even if he so badly wanted to.

The past shouldn't be ripped up again, no matter what.

I don't want any bad memories anymore; I just wanna live my life, have a good time and die with peace.

Huh? Was it really him thinking like that?

Cloud shock his head, maybe he needed some sleep before moving on towards Midgar.

"Cloud, what are you doing?"

He faced Tifa with confusing, what he was doing? He was… looking down the well.

Something or someone called at him, what or whoever it was.

Squall.

Huh? Cloud starred down the well, but it was too dark to see anything.

No sight of any human could look deep in the dark, not even Sephiroth.

Sephiroth.

That name recalled his past from the hidden shadows, how could he forget him?

No one could ever forget him, and the ruins of Midgar proved that fact.

Squall.

That voice again, Cloud wasn't sure if he was going mad or he was getting really sick.

He heard Tifa calling his name, but he didn't turn around.

In stead, he tried to focus on the voice.

Then he saw her, running in the dark calling desperate for an answer.

Suddenly, she stopped and faced him with tears.

"Squall, is that you"

Cloud froze, was she real or just some sort of figure in his imagination?

The woman began to walk towards him.

"It's really you, isn't it Squall? I've look for you"

Who are you? And why are you calling me Squall?

She called again, but Cloud didn't answer her call.

All he wanted was to have her disappear from his mind, or whatever that caused her appearance.

Tifa watched closely as cloud froze like a rock statue in front of her.

It was like he was looking at someone, not visible.

But suddenly he collapsed before she could reach him and graph his body.

"Cloud, what is happening to you?" her voice whispered.

At the same time, somewhere else one figure slowly got on his feet.

He was standing there; looking at the many colored sky and gave him self up to the beautiful sight.

"Have you ever thought of being here?"

A woman about his height accompanied him, she wearied weird clothes.

Black long hair and a long white robe with sleeves.

But the face was hidden in the white hood.

"But right now, you're confused. You don't know any of this place, so ever, it must be hard on you."

He could sense she was smiling, of him or whatever it was.

Who are you?

The woman touched his arm.

"There are many things humans should learn, if not for the rest of their lives. First, don't concern their heads in other affairs, not their business. Remember that, Tidus."

She disappeared with mystery like she came.

Tidus was quiet, thinking of what she said and of Yuna.

I want to go back to you. But I'm not alive anymore, and finding Spira again seems like a very hard journey, if not harder. And how would I find it?

A singing voice disturbed his thoughts, but when he looked around he saw no one.

The voice seemed far away, yet not really.

Flowers appeared around him, the sky turned its color to blue and the blessed singing voice was finally near.

At the field of the many flowers, a young woman a bit older than him was sitting, singing for them.

She had brown hair, very deep green eyes and a hair band at her neck.

Tidus wanted to know more of her.

But when he tried to walk towards her, something froze within his legs.

"Why don't you give op, little one?"

The voice belonged to a black cloaked man, dressed in hard armor as well.

This guy had long platin blond hair, you can call it white too, but the most important detail was his really black wing out of his back.

And the fact, that he was carrying a sword.

The young woman was quiet.

"Give up? What do you mean with that?"

The stranger laughed, and Tidus admitted for him self, that the guy was scary.

"I mean that your quest is not possible and not needed. You want to go down there to see your friends, will you not?"

"Who the hell are you, and what is all that nonsense you're talking about?"

A sword was targeting him, before he noticed in time.

The man smiled coldly as the blade came closer to his throat.

"You don't know, do you?"

Tidus just looked at the blade; this guy was serious and insane!

But if he continued to stay blocked, he wouldn't be able to escape.

The young woman between the flowers, she looked at him.

At the strange insane man cloaked in black.

Her deep green eyes, very lost in sorrow were looking.

Tidus felt the sadness surrounding her. Like if someone she loved was dead, passed away.

"Don't kill him, Sephiroth." the young woman pleased.

Against his will, Sephiroth removed the blade from the throat.

He didn't trust him, not even if Aeris did. This boy was trouble and he wouldn't cause anything else.

How he hated to be like this!

Tidus was relieved, that blade would have killed him quickly.

Sephiroth, the Great General, feared and respected among his soldiers was ordered to release his prey for the first time in his life.

Why being here with his target, Aeris and the one he hated the most, the youth he couldn't stand?

Too many questions crossed his mind with confusion, thoughts he hated and saw as weak.

How he longed for the endless sleep, the pulse of his heart beating yet not alive, only his imagination.

I'm just a memory, feared of what I have become. Maybe my sleep, my death will overcome soon.

Flowers, touching his hair. He raised his head from his deep thoughts, his deep blue eyes, cold like ice, starred at the shadow before him. She was smiling, not like he used to.

Black hair, the robe white like the falling snow.

The face hidden.

But he knew she was smiling, he could sense it.

And the feeling of knowing her seemed like a dream, who was this woman?

A word whispered from her shadow.

Sephiroth could only listen, but he didn't want to hear it. He wanted to run, escape from the word.

Sweat forged from his body like teardrops crawled from his skin and made him warm.

Voices, the youth was calling his name.

Aeris worried of his behavior.

Yet she hated him, he knew it!

Same time, another place.

Squall watched her sleeping with fear.

He wanted so much to help her, not being the guy sitting next to her doing nothing.

But her condition was bad, and it seemed she was going to stay like that way forever.

Zell opened the door; no smile was shown on his lips.

"Sorry if I'm disturbing, but uhm… meeting on the bridge."

Squall touched her face, smooth yet cold.

I want to stay with you.

Then he followed Zell out of the room, leaving her alone.

But the face on the pillow wasn't the one expected. Instead of the familiar face, black long hair covered the face; dark eyes reopened themselves to the world.

Smiling, the future was ahead.

"Hey, you're awake?"

Irwin, the companion of Squall was stepping inside the room.

She hadn't been awake for weeks; maybe she was getting better now.

Irwin gave her a cheering smile.

"You know, Squall was really worried about you. He didn't sleep last night because of you."

Yes, she knew it. She had sensed him.

The future ahead.

Light was surrounding her; the air was thick and seemed to crack like a broken TV screen.

Irwin was stunned, he was voiceless.

Dark energy was forged between her hands, she was concentrated.

Everything connected to her!

Then Irwin saw the sight, everything disappeared in front of him. Darkness covered his eyes, but strangely he wasn't afraid.

It was time.

BT- DREAMING.

No words, no talk.
We'll go dreaming

No pain, no hurt.
We'll go dreaming

Walk with me,
The future's at hand.
Here with us,
Here where you stand.
We both know the power of pain;
We get back up and start it again.
With new hope, no place for tears,
Leave behind those frozen years.
Come with me and we'll go dreaming.

We don't know how it can be,
Searching out dignity.
Nothing can be as savage as love,
One taste is never enough.
With new hope, no place for tears.
Catch my hand and come with me.
Close your eyes and dream.

No words, no talk.
We'll go dreaming
No pain, no hurt.
We'll go dreaming
No words, no talk.
We'll go dreaming
No pain, no hurt.
We'll go dreaming

Walk with me,
The future's at hand.
Here with us,
Here where we stand.
We both know the power of pain,
We get back up and start it again.
With new hope, no place for tears,
Leave behind those frozen years.
Come with me and the dream.

No words, no talk.
We'll go dreaming
No pain, no hurt.
We'll go dreaming
No words, no talk.
We'll go dreaming
No pain, no hurt.
We'll go dreaming
(repeat)

We'll go dreaming.
We'll go dreaming.
We'll go dreaming.
We'll go dreaming.
We'll go dreaming.
We'll go dreaming.
We'll go dreaming.
