The room was quiet and eerie. The glass of the large, stain glass windows was shattered, covering the floor in a large blanket of colored shards. Cloud's breath was heavy and his eyes looked around the cathedral in a complete frenzy. His blue eyes peered out the broken windows to the gray sky overhead. The clouds were moving fast and their air was icy cold; he could feel the small frozen ice droplets on his warm cheeks. Cloud coughed and stood up to brush the glass and fragments of stone off his clothes. His nose caught the smell of blood, causing him to turn around; however, the sight was something to behold.
There, in his sister's arms was the bloody body of his enemy. Sephiroth. His once glorious silver hair was stained red with his crimson blood and his sea green eyes were closed. His sister's skin was a soft pale but now stained with her own brother's blood. Lilith's tears formed smooth, amethyst, and tear-dropped shaped gems as they fell to the ground. Sephiroth's noble body was becoming cold in her arms as she could feel his life slowly slip away. Her knee length violet hair, decorated in light blue streaks seemed to flow around them both. One of her fingers slowly dragged a trail down his cold cheek, hoping he would wake up.
Cloud slowly walked toward the two siblings on the stairs of the cathedral. Above the two was a well-made statue of Lilith dressed in an ankle length white silk skirt, hemmed with black velvet, and with a shorter, light blue top skirt and stitched with the symbol of Malice. The top was a halter top with a silver front and a black backing. A blue design that resembled flames started from the sides of the top and came to just under her breasts. One of her ivory arms were outstretched and the other one held an obsidian scythe with a black marble handle and a garnet stone near the back of the blade. Three white wings cast a shadow over the large stairs. Cloud sniffled once and peered into the ivory eyes of the large statue. He felt his heart pound quickly inside of his chest as he got closer to the twins. Lilith's head was lowered, continuing to cry, and not paying attention to the young man in front of her. One of his gloved hands reached out to touch her shoulder, but pulled away slightly, afraid of what could happen to him. Instead, he kneed down to look into her crystal green eyes.
"I-I-I-I-I'm sorry Lilith...I didn't mean to."
She raised a bloody hand to him and sniffled softly. "No, do not apologize. You did nothing wrong. Please, do not blame yourself for what happened here today."
With that last word, she lowered her hand to rest on Sephiroth's bare chest. His heart had finally stopped beating and his life was gone. The soldier had a stern, but peaceful look on his face that he would carry. Cloud looked down to his rival and felt his heart fill with remorse.
/I'm sorry...old friend.../ Cloud thought to himself.
Lilith raised her head to show her eyes. His own eyes widened in shock for her eyes were the exact same as Sephiroth's wicked eyes. Although her eyes were filled with love and kindness, he could still see the anger and the rage that the twin's both shared.
"Is there anything I can do?" Cloud's voice cracked a little in fear and sadness. He couldn't remove his eyes from hers. It was like she put him in a deep trance.
She closed her eyes and shook her head. Her lips curled into a soft smile as she looked down upon her brother's stone cold face.
"It's alright. You did nothing, so there is no need to help me."
Cloud blinked twice and then looked at the face of his fallen foe. Although his enemy was dead, he still wasn't at full peace with himself.
/He's dead, never to bother my friends and me ever again. But...why do I still feel like he's still here...watching me...waiting for the perfect chance to strike and kill me. / He couldn't take his eyes off Sephiroth's face. An expectation of the soldier to awaken and attack him filled his head. Cloud was prepared to fight the soldier one more time.
Lilith pulled Sephiroth's body closer to hers, hoping he would wake. "Please big brother...wake up. For me, not for anyone but me. Just for me." She whispered to him.
Cloud couldn't feel anymore guilty. He felt so responsible for Sephiroth's death. One of his hands couldn't stop shaking. These tremors were barely visible; however, he could feel them resonate all throughout his arm. Suddenly, Sephiroth's eyes popped open to reveal two black eye sockets. Cloud fell back in shock and in fear. He began to stutter and slowly crawl away as the soldier's mouth opened to allow blood to pour out. Cloud was filled with terror as Sephiroth's head slowly shot over to him. The soldier shrieked and the joints of his body cracked as he crawled over to him quickly on four legs.
¥Oooo hoo hoo, kind of a creepy ending to the prologue. Oh well, so what if I changed the death of Sephiroth, I made it moooooove with me. Anyways my fans, please, show me your love and support. Oh yes! My other story! I'm planning on typing the rest of that soon, once I get some spare time! 3¥
