Chapter 1: Reality
Three long years after Meteor had left the tremendous scar on the planet, the once fertile lands began to wither away afterMAKO had vanished. The calamity known asMeteorfall would never be forgotten by those who lived through that resentful day-- young, old, and forgotten...
But just as the world began to stabilize, an unexpected event developed in Junan. In the course of a single night, a large amount of people disappeared without a trace.
News of this mass disappearance carried swiftly across the globe and spawned immeadiate speculation.
Around the same time, in the near-by city of Edge,eerie rumors began to pass through the streets; rumors of screams echoing from near-by Midgar...
Night after night....
Being at the heart of Meteor's fall, Midgar had sustained the most damage and was no longer a place for man to dwell.
However, records were discovered by the WRO that lead many to believe that humans may have been left behind in the city.
Television crews, volunteer organizations, and members of the WRO sent in rescue teams.
But not a single person returned...
Kalm, located to the east of Midgar, had also sustained damage during Meteorfall; but had miraciously managed to recover-- all in the efforts of its' people.
Plans for large festivities were under way.
Vincent Valentine was summoned to the celebration by his old comrade, Reeve Tuesti; a friend who fought alongside Vincent in the long and gruesome struggle against Sephiroth.
As festive participants begin to fill the streets, and celebration envelops the town, a mysterious organization attacks without warning...
And this is where, my dear reader[s], our story begins...
Vincent watched over the festivities from a bleak apartment window, his eyes cautious and speculant.
In the distance; the sun was barely setting across the horizon.
The final rays streaking colors of yellow, red, violet, and orange into the night; A deepening blue, black, and purple taking wing behind.
To the eastern ridges of Kalm, a girl by the name of Alexandria Knight sat just as Vincent. Her midnight blue eyes focused on the celebration below. The moon from above glistened off of her brilliant brown hair, and the rims of her cloak billowed in the breeze.
She hadn't wished to attend the celebration as others would have, she instead wished to mourn.
For not but three years ago, on this same night; her parents-- home-- and family were obliterated.
Though, to every ones amazement--Alexandria survived...
Her parents and lifesourse were stolen from her, but she kept on living.
A broken soul filled with a lonely heart-- made only to wander and never put to rest.,,
"A pain worse than death, loneliness is....Hmph, if only the angels would spare me..." she whispered while reloading her gun.
A small glimmer caught her eye, a crimson charm in the shape of a cross.
She stared at the memory with a heavy heart...
The legacy of her parents-- the sole thing keeping her attached to their remembrance.
They seemed all to clear, the memories did-- never ceasing as time passed.
She ran the silver chain through her slender fingers-- the latch catching on the metal handle of her gun.
Of course, my dear reader[s], do not think she was always this way.
Alexandria was once happy, a smiling child in the memories of others.
Though she was like that once, that all changed in the course of time; like that of all hearts.
Some who once knew her say that she never leaves her home, living inwards toward that regret.
Others say she comes out only at night, living as a vampire.
A loud, chilling scream shot through the night, freezing every ones thoughts.
Vincent and Alexandria both leapt out of their windows, guns swinging and ready for action.
