Final Fantasy VII : A Past Life ♥
♥ Prologue
What happens to you when you die? Do you go to paradise? Do you float within time and space for all eternity? Or does it just end? Maybe you relive your life. No one is really sure. Only those who actually passed away know. So what do you think happened to Sephiroth? To Aeris? Perhaps they did journey to the Lifestream. Perhaps that is where they dwell right now…
White. That was all you could see. In the distance stood two figures alone. Two years after the death of Aeris and Sephiroth. Now they both dwelled here, in this unknown place. Isolated from all others, they became to know one another, and grew close. Sephiroth began to open up to her, a side that no one knew…Or did someone before Aeris know?
"Tell me about her." Aeris spoke while walking through the white eternity. It was somewhat blinding, but the two have grown used to it.
"About who?" Sephiroth questioned with a puzzeled expression.
"About her. I've heard you mutter her name quiet a few times. As if you think about her. Wonder where she is. I want to know about her. Was she your first love?" When Sephiroth did not respond, Aeris continued as she played with her elegant brown hair. "You must have loved someone before. And with you talking about this girl…Well, it would seem as if she was your first love. Maybe your only."
Sephiroth turned from Aeris and spoke softly. "Her name was Laralaine."
"What do you mean was?"
"She died. I couldn't save her. She was the only one I could talk to about everything. Even though I would put on a mask and be that cold-hearted guy, she was the only one who understood me."
This made Aeris smile. He truly was misunderstood and used by all. It was no wonder why he acted the way he used to before he went crazy. After his death, and came to this eternity, he returned to normal.
"I met her twelve years ago."
"What did she look like?" Aeris asked as she sat down on the white floor. When she sat, flowers bloomed around her.
"She was beautiful, like an angel. She had long dark brown hair and deep sapphire blue eyes. She would always wear this peach-colored dress. On the side of the dress was this flower that was a darker shade of the peach. She always wore a neck band, as well as a leg band and a wrist band. Laralaine had a tattoo of a rose that ran half way up the lower part of her leg. And around her waist, she wore a maroon colored ribbon and a belt on top of it. The ribbon would normally drag behind her."
"How did you meet her?"
"We met in Nibelheim." Sephiroth said.
Aeris thought for a moment, "Wasn't that Cloud's childhood town?"
"Yes." Sephiroth nodded. "That was where her mother lived at the time. We met again later as well."
"Tell me." Aeris urged with anxienty. Her curiosity was getting to her, and she wanted to know more.
"Alright." Sephiroth nodded, he too sat down next to Aeris. "I was to go to Nibelheim, to slay a monster that was summoned and couldn't be controlled. It was attempting to destroy the Mako Reactor that was recently put up at that time."
