He had no idea who or where he was. The only thing he remembered was light... a radiant light, then it was overtaken by darkness, and now he was here.Here? He hadn't even had a chance to open his eyes to see what "here" looked like. He opened his eyes. He felt as if he were floating. Once again he saw that blinding light, but it receded. It receded to several glowing trees on either side of him, on what appeared to be banks of some body of water... Water!!!

Of course he was floating! He was in the middle of a small lake. A small lake ... surrounded by glowing trees...He knew where he was.

"The Forgotten City... Cetra?" he said to himself...And that single memory was all it took to reawaken the One Winged AngelSuddenly his head pounded. Millions of memories flooded his already thrashed mind at once. Names from his past invaded his thoughts

"JENOVA(Mother???)"

"Hojo(Father???)"

"Lucrecia(Mother???)"

"Vincent(father???)""

Cloud(SOLDIER???)"

"Zack(SOLDIER???)"

"Flower... girl???"

His mind was a mass of paradoxes, if this went on long enough his mind might break. He screamed in agony he felt as if he was losing himself to something... something...DarkThen suddenly all the madness was gone. It was as if all the paradoxes had solved themselves instantly.

He felt clearer than ever before. And in the middle of that moment of clarity, he had the single most influentual revelation of his life.

He had been deceived.

He had been driven, by a multi-milennia old planet hopper, into insanity.And manipulated into nearly destroying the whole of existence.

But now he was free at last. Free from insanity, free from that controlling bitch of a "mother", free from shinra, and free to do however he pleased

.After contemplating for hours, he finally decided his next move:"It's time for MY reunion."Sephiroth said,"But I think i'll vist an old friend first" Sephiroth said, And at last, the One Winged Angel was free to set in motion the next stage of his destiny .
