Minerva's Child Chapter 2
The mission was fairly easy to say the least. All he had to do was eliminate a horde of monsters threatening the outskirts of Banora. That is to say facing off against 15 Blood Tastes were a laughing matter and just some sorta child's play for you. It's official. Hethought as one of the larger beasts aimed for his back. The Planet and the company both hate my guts. He swung his massive sword over to slice through the creature's chest.
Blood splashed onto his dark blue SOLDIER uniform. His gloved hands gripped tighter on the hilt of his sword. Blue eyes darted to his left before zoning in on the one to his right. The Blood Hound charged towards him and as it was merely inches away from him, he cut it's head off, the blood spraying everywhere.
Most of it hit his black hair making the spikes flatten. He gave a groan as his thoughts wandered off to his family. Angeal's so not gonna let me near Denzel unless I shower first... But knowing the kid, he'll be waiting for me at the entrance. He sighed at the thought. Gaia, he is so dead when he gets back.
A young ten year old child sat on a chair at the lobby of the ShinRa building. He wore a plain white polo shirt along with a pair of knee length yellow-brown shorts. He hummed a random tune as his legs swung back and forth. His blue eyes darted to the sliding glass doors every few seconds, awaiting the arrival of one of his 'brothers'. A girl came over to him, her own blue eyes looking at him with gentleness. She wore a white t-shirt underneath a black suit complete with a pair of black jeans.
She smiled at him as she patted his spikey brown hair with her right hand. Her other hand went to comb through some strands of her waist length brown hair. The boy looked questioningly at her, eyes conveying his confusion. "You should go on upstairs. Zack will just head over if he does not see you here."\"But I want to welcome him home! No one else would..." the child replied, blue eyes looking at her in a broken manner.
"Why don't I welcome him home today? You could go help the others prepare." "For what, Alice?" "Well, Denzel... For Cloud." "Really?!" Alice nodded and just like that, Denzel went off to help his family.
It wasn't long before the doors of the esteemed Shin-Ra company opened and a teen stepped inside. His dark blue eyes scanned the lobby area for the familiar boy who always welcomed him back. Instead, his roaming eyes found a young woman. "Hey, Zack. Welcome back.." "Alice... Where's Denzel?" asked Zack, blue eyes still scanning the room. Alice easily spotted the panic and fear in them. She gave him a soft, calming pat on his right shoulder before vaguely explaining the situation to the man.
"Denzel's back in our apartment. They are planning a welcome home party for my cousin." at that, Zack's eyes widened before he all but ran to the elevator. Alice chuckled at his seemingly childish nature before she went on her way as well. As they reached the Turks' floor, the doors swung open and another teen with fiery red hair hopped on the ride.
His clothes were a bit ruffled-black coat halfway opened to reveal a plain white shirt underneath, his neck tie was a mess, and the dark blue pants he wore were all ruffled. "Yo! It's true, yeah? About him...?" came the uncertain greeting. Alice chuckled quietly before giving a nod his way. "Yes. We get to be with him again, Reno." she replied.
A sigh fell through thin lips as she watered the flowers in the church. Her right hand went to fix the pink ribbon which held her waist length brown hair together. Her left hand dusting her pink robe as she stood from her kneeling position by the flowerbed. Her blue eyes gazing at the sky through the window to her left. She closed her hands together in front of her breast before she began to make her way outside where another teen greeted her.
