Sephiroth trail his long, slender fingers over the cool black surface of the coffin."It is time." He breathed into a hiss and a sigh at Leviathan who had curled up into a small corner in the library, unable to speak for what Bankotsu had done to him. " I will awaken that one from Immanis. He will watch over my daughter while you are...indisposed."
Leviathan P.O.V
I wore a very surly expression.I loved my mistress, I truly do, but that pet of hers...that mortal...I will kill him myself. How DARE he!I was annihilating whole entire realms before that wretch was even born! People only dare to whisper MY name. And yet,as great as I am, I was not able to defend myself against Bakajikara's bastard child! My master sensed my rage, he said,"Be patient Leviathan. Before long, we all will have a go at him. We just have to make sure my Daughter is well taken care of."
I would talk Master out of what he was about to do but It was futile. Even if I was able to speak, he would not listen to what I had to say. The truth is that the One from Immanis is one of the Septim-Sidus(the seven chosen ones) just as My mistress is. And he is just as unruly as she it also. Being a chosen one, he will not do what we want so easily.
Still..like I mentioned before. I had no say in the matter.
Sephiroth P.O.V
"Leviathan, go Fetch me the Kyuba."
Leviathan nodded his head and slithered off into the library. I stared down at the coffin, feeling against the words engraved into the marble stone surface.
'Estuans Interius ira Vehement(burning inside with violent anger)
Sors immanis, et inanis(Fate, monsterous and empty)'
I chanted, underneath the bloodred moonlight. The planets are starting to align...
"May the moon bear witness to this night!"
'Excitate vos e somno, liberi mei(wake from your sleep my children)
Somnus est non(your rest is now gone)
Surgite(arise)
Inventite(search)
Ardente veritate, urite mala mundi(with fiery truths, burn the evils of this world)
Incendite tenebras mundi(light the darkness of the world)'
'VENI(COME,)SURGITE(arise),INVENTITE(SEARCH), SOMNUS EST ETERNUS NON(your rest is forever gone)'
Leviathan P.O.V
I fetched the book of prophecy for my Master. I could hear his voice thundering throughout the study. I made my way down the spiral staircase and over to the astronomy room where my Master stood with such a air of cold and darkness, I myself could hardly stand in the room.
I planted the book at my masters feet and nudged his leg to let him know I had arrived. As soon as he picked up the book, a cool white mist shrouded the room as I heard the coffin door fly open.
"Ah..."my master beamed, " I see you are awake."
A man rose from the coffin, his dark raven hair tumbled down his back, blending in almost perfectly with his black cape."A faint hope..." he muttered," A hollow laugh..."
"Echoes from beneath the darkness."My master chimed in.
"My heart burns."The man finished. He glared at the master with such defiance and contempt in his scarlet eyes, it was insulting."Why have you awaken me?" he demanded.
Sephiroth P.O.V
My lips curved into a smirk,"My daughter..."
"Kimiko?"
"You've heard of her?"
The man pushed back the stray pieces of hair that hung over his red headband.The moonlight illuminated his red metal armor and dark metalpants."Of course I've heard of her. She is chosen one isn't she? Not to mention she is the fabled daughter of the 'once' great Sephiroth.It is rumored in my dimension that she will be your downfall."
"Once great?" Leviathan hissed sorely, "My master will-"he gasped out in agony at the pain stabbing at the back of his throat.
"Careful Leviathan. Do not try to talk.", the book opened up as I spread my hands apart.
"The Kyuba...what are you doing with that book?" the man asked, " Are you going to look for the other chosen ones?"
"In due time. I already have the first three. You, my daughter and The son of Bakajikara." Leviathan spat at the mere mention of Bankotsu. The man, on the other hand, looked rather somber.
"The son of Bakajikara is here! ARE YOU MAD!"
"Vincent, Vincent, Vincent, He isn't here. He's with My daughter."
"Oh yeah, like that's even better." said vincent sarcastically.
I smiled at the sarcasm in his voice," And I want you to join them.I want you to assume the position of my Daughter new guardian..."I glanced at Leviathan who was looking surly again,"Temporarily."
"No.This I refuse. Why not have your son do it?"
"His whereabouts are currently unknown."
"You lie. Even I know you don't have any trouble locating your offspring. You can find anybody. Thus is-um-was you profession."
"I have no use for my son. Not now at least. My main concern is my daughter."
"Ah..."Vincent began, " That's right. It was not your son but you daughter who recieved the exodius. Why is that?"
"Unlike my son, My Daughter is gifted-even without the exodius- she is most powerful. Especially now that she's fallen in love with Bakajikara's son."
Vincent was absolutely livid, " ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND!" he bellowed, " DO YOU NOT KNOW OF THE PROPHECY? THE ONE ABOUT THE CHILD SHE MIGHT HAVE WITH HIM! Do you really want that Kind of power born into the world?"
"I am fully aware of the damn prophecy. But there is another...The prophecy of the gift and the curse that completely contadicts YOUR foolish prophecy."
"Fine,"Vincent huffed,"Do what you want. I refuse to be a part of it."He started to lay back into his coffin.
"Wait. That claw of yours..."
Vincent sat upright, slowly raising his left hand, " Oh, this?" a large, metal claw was placed upon him, "It is my sin." he said."I took the claw of Silenti for my own selfish greed and thus,"He rolled up his left sleeve. The ends of the claw had pierced his skin and wrenched themselves into his bone. The effects of that made his upper arm look strangly disfigured."I cannot ever remove it. It has stayed with me, long after Ihavedied.It is what keeps me alive. The real me...died along time ago." He muttered the name 'Lucrecia', followed by a deep sigh.
"Spare me the theatrics. You don't love Lucrecia. Not anymore. But I can give you something that you would really want."
He gave me a sideways glance out of the corner of his eye."YOU can give ME what I want?"
I nodded, " Maybe. How would you like this..." I wisked my hand in the air, creating the illusion of a beautiful young women." Hair as black as the raven, eyes as deep as the midnight sky...skin as smooth as silk..."
vincent's eyes lit up, " And who would this women be?"
" MY daughter."
"No."
"I find it somewhat insulting that you would cast her away after the way you just lusted after her."
"I don't lust after women I barely know." he stated.
"My daughter isn't like other women. Think about it. She was able to enthrall THE son of Bakajikara."
Vincent's eyes met mine, " Let's say that perhaps I WERE interested. If she is in love with that boy, then I can't come between them. I know how the Real Bakajikara is like. I needn't deal with his son."
"What are you so afraid of? You said so yourself what kind of child they could have. You could stop all the madness right now."
Several minutes passed and Vincent did not speak. He searched through his mind, debating whether or not he should accept what I offered him or not."I'll...think about it." he finally said.
" Before I let you become my daughters gauardian, I need to know something. Bakajikara used to be ruler in the realm you are from, Correct?"
"You know better than I do."
"I want you to tell my daughter everything you know about Bakajikara."
"Master WHY!" leviathan hissed, just before he howled out in pain.
I know leviathan may be upset because I forbidden him to say a word to my daughter, but I have my good reasons. HE knows this."I have my reasons leviathan."
I stepped to Vincent, who wore a cocky expression on his face." Listen to me. I want you to keep your distance until you can get her alone. Don't ravish her. Just...arouse her a bit. Enough to almost lead her astray."
"Whatever," Vincent scoffed, " Still, you should stopped trying to control her everymove or she will throw it back up in your face. Watch what I say."
"Oh, I will, " I chuckled, " I will indeed."
