Epilogue
Cloud stuck Zack's sword in the ground on the outskirts of Midgar. It was a good two months since the war. His thoughts settled on the ones who gave their life to defeat Sephiroth and his followers. The Keepers, his compaions... everyone. Alyssa was watching from a distance, sitting on Cloud's motorcycle. She knew what Cloud was doing, knowing that he needed some time to think. Alyssa didn't say anything, she couldn't. She too had to pay her respects.
Cloud took a look at Zack's sword as he took a few steps back. Ever since that day, everything has been calming down. Everything is now getting back to normal. Tifa started working at Seventh Heaven again, while Strife Delievery Service has been getting good customers. I've adopted an unlikely person and she's been working on having a normal life. Garrett has been around. He doesn't stick around or check on us as often as he did. Garrett wishes to arise with the Keepers again, wanting to regain what has been lost. Cloud puts his head down for respect. Everything is going to change more now since Sephiroth is gone. I want Alyssa to know that everything is going to be all right from now on. I think she knows that.
Cloud took a moment of silence, then looks back at Alyssa. He walks up to her and gave a smile. "All right, I'm ready."
Alyssa gave a nod back. "We'll be back later, won't we?"
"Yeah, but not until work calms down and you get into a decent school."
"Yeah, you're right."
Cloud gave another nod and a smile. "Let's go home, everyone's waiting."
"Right, we have work to get done." Alyssa agrees.
Cloud had Alyssa scoot up on the motorcycle as he sat behind her. He then made sure Alyssa was settled before driving off. She turned her head slightly and gave a smile. Alyssa now knew that everything was going to be all right. Cloud would do anything to let her have a normal life and to have her be happy, live life to the fullest... no matter what.
Sooner or later, you shall see great changes. Extreme horrors and persecutions, the moon lead by her angel, the heaven draws near its inclination...
Garrett closed the Keeper Book of Prophecies. The time was drawing near and he knew. He stood up, taking a sigh and pinching out his candle light that was sitting on the desk before putting the book back gently and leaving to assist the Keepers.
It's only the beginning. Garrett thought. It's not over yet. The dawn of Shattered Dreams approaches...
