Epilogue
Tifa stared at Cloud's body, as it lay on the stretcher, ready to be placed on his ship. The head of Bahamut was placed on the stem and the ship loaded with his materia. She had arranged a funeral to be done in the old Cetra ways, for that is what Cloud had believed in. She was going to ask Aerith to do the ceremony, since she had the same belief but the Queen had not been seen since she had killed Sephiroth.
Slowly, Tifa placed her ring on Cloud's finger as a tear from her eyes fell on his face.
"Take this back to the twilight spirits." She whispered. "Be free from their curse." She stepped back as four men took an end of the stretcher and placed it on the boat. The archers fired their flaming arrows, igniting the boat as it glided across the river. The place was silent as they watched the boat erupt in flames.
"Look, it's my hawk!" Vincent cried, pointing to the bird that flew over the sinking boat.
All eyes turned to it and through the flames, they saw a figure stand up. Her long pink dress and flowing chestnut hair made it obvious who it was. Over the roaring fires, they heard her unsheathe Cloud's sword. Yuffie closed her eyes, turning into Vincent's shoulder as parents shielded their children's eyes. Tifa watched as the Queen thrust the sword through her stomach and went limp on Cloud's body.
"My Lady! Are you going to let her die on your love?" A woman cried. Tifa took a moment to answer.
"He was never my love."
Vincent watched the boat began to disappear, the head of Bahamut the last thing to show.
"Today, the old God's live again." He whispered. Yuffie sighed and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"No, Vincent." She replied, staring at the water.
"Today, the old Gods die with them."
