I updated! I kindly thank all of my reviewers for encouraging me and urging me to update! I didn't think this story would even make it so far, but it has. This is the first fic that I write, and I'm continuing it. I plan to finish this to the end! Also, I am aware that I need to change the trio's names. to Prompto, Ignis and Gladioluss?-Yeah, those names sound so awkward. They're not pretty like the ones I had thought up for them. It saddens me, but I have to change it soon.
Also, here is a long chapter. Longer than any of the other ones. This chapter was done in every point of view, sorry if it may seem confusing, but I wanted to put in different perspectives. I'll stop that in the next chapter.
Final Fantasy belongs to me. I mean, in my dream it was all mine. I had ownership to it...
Final Fantasy belongs to Square-Enix. ...sniffle...
"Reeeveeee!" Yuffie jumped up and down in excitement. "So, what does this thingy here do? It looks like materia." Reeve put his pen down and sighed in exhaustion. "Yuffie, have your people ever heard of the Goddess Cosmos?" He asked, picking up the pen and fiddling it around. "Cosmos? Well, in Wutai they say she's the one who eased the soul of the Guardian of Wutai, Leviathan, though most call him a god now, well the oldies, they do. "
Yuffie placed her index finger on her lip. "Also, Legend has it, that she gave her people 3 gifts. Love, Courage, and Hope, I think it was. " Reeve chuckled. "Very well said, and you do know who her people were, correct?" Yuffie turned to look at him. "Well, it's said that the ancients worshiped her. " Reeve nodded his head. "Wait, so that means..these things belong to Light and Serah?"
"Exactly as you said Yuffie." Yuffie knew that voice all too well. "Glad you could make it, Vincent."
"So, why do we need them? I mean, sure they belong to her and all, but what does that have to do with the throne?"
"Yuffie, it proves her birthright. We don't know what it may do, but it will prove her birth right, but right now, Tenebrae has one in possession, and the other remains in Astrum." Reeve gritted his teeth slightly. "Well, then we play thief." She gave them both a cheeky grin. Vincent shook his head in disapproval of her actions. "Unfortunately you're right."
Reeve sighed. "That will take alot of planning, and effort, but we can do it."
"Whoa. So this is Midgar?" Zack chuckled a bit. "Technically, yes, and no. Midgar was rebuilt after a crisis ten years ago, and we renamed it Edge. But, the habit of calling it Midgar still lingers."
"Still, its kind of gloomy." Snow looked around. Tifa laughed softly. "Yeah, true. But most of us made our home here, well except for Zack, he moved to Banora." Zack gave them a cheeky grin.
"Well, looks like we're headed for the Shinra main building. Tifa, Snow, you guys go on ahead, I gotta see the soldiers. They're probably itchin' to see me." Tifa smiled. "Alright, go on ahead, we'll go on our way."
"When you see the little lady, be sure to give her a kiss for me." Tifa crossed her arms, and raised up an eyebrow at him. "That, you will have to do yourself, Sir Zack. I'm sure she doesn't want to see Rufus alone." Zack sighed. "But you'll be there." He sighed again. "Zack. She will want you not me, and if you don't make it back on time, I will punch you." Zack cringed at the thought. "Alright, alright." He grinned.
"Catch ya later!"
Tifa smiled as she watched Zack leave. She turned to Snow and smiled sweetly. "Well, let's get going." Snow smiled back. "Alright, but, who were you guys talking about?" Tifa sighed.
"The Princess of course; Both of them."
"Both of them?"
"Princess Eclair , and Princess Serah of Cocoon."
"Wait. Wait. Weren't they dead?"
They kept on walking ahead; Tifa remained silent for a moment, while Snow awaited her answer. She suddenly stopped and turned to him. "They discarded everything about themselves, and lived a normal life. Until now that is. We are merely trying to fulfill their mother's last wish." She continued to walk on ahead.
"Queen Aerith?" Snow questioned. Tifa nodded her head. "While the King wanted them to live a free life if anything happened to them, Aerith knew she couldn't keep them from their birth right. Instead of following his wishes, she changed his plans. " Tifa could remember it so clearly, as if it were yesterday. The day everything had started, the day their lives changed forever.
"I don't want them to live like this. A life deprived of freedom." Tifa looked down. She felt a lump in her throat, she wanted to cry. She loved those two girls as if they were her own. She saw them grow, each and every day. But of course, she wanted a life full of happiness for the girls.
"Cloud, Does that mean you're not coming back?" Everyone was there. Cloud looked to his friends; a sad smile appeared on his face.
"Cloud, don't do this to them." Cloud shook his head.
"I don't want them to live a life where they're told what to do, and who to be. If I'm gone, What will become of them? As long as that blood line remains, they'll be in constant danger. Wars such as this will outbreak. Even if Tenebrae loses, they will keep coming back, over and over again. I can't allow that to happen. That's why; I want them to live as normal girls, to never come back to this life. They'll live free." Cloud held on to Aerith's hand, squeezing it tightly.
Aerith looked to Cloud feeling the same way as everyone else. She placed a hand on his shoulder. "It's going to be alright Cloud. " She smiled again. Just by looking at her smile, was enough to make Tifa feel warm and full of hope.
But soon after, Cloud was reported dead. Aerith made a new change in his plans.
"Forget what Cloud said." Aerith stood in the garden picking at the flowers. "But, you're Majesty; it was the King's wishes." Reeve pleaded with her. Aerith turned around to face all of them. "And the King is no longer here right?" They all nodded their heads in unison. "Well then, don't question me." She smiled gently. Aerith radiated with authority at this moment. They have never before seen her like that.
"So what do you suppose we do?" Tifa liked where this was going. "Something eventually is going to happen to me too, I can feel it." She said glancing up to the sky. "Cloud was too rash in his decision, but, he was an overprotective father, that wanted them to be safe, even if we weren't there protecting them. That is why; if something happens to me, make sure to get them out of here. Do as Cloud said, let them live a normal life-"
"Aerith! That ain't gonna change a damn thing" Tifa whacked Cid on the head.
"Ow! You Son of a-"
"Let her finish." Tifa smiled at him. "Thank you Tifa. Now, as I was saying, Eclair and Serah will live a normal life. Grow up like normal little girls. But, unlike Cloud, I don't want to deprive them of their birth right. This is their home, here with you all. So, when the time is right, I need you to find them. When the time is right, My eldest daughter will most likely push herself to the limit and fight for Cocoon's freedom. She won't back down even if you tell her it's dangerous..." Aerith trailed off. "She is her father's daughter after all, that's why I know she'll be a wonderful Queen."
"Then we'll fight alongside her too!" Yuffie grinned. Everyone agreed to this, and this was much better than Cloud's plan, they all thought. After all, they would get to see both girls once more.
That was right; now, they were going to fight along Lightning just as they had promised. Tifa had been quiet along the entire way. Snow couldn't stand the silence. "So, we're liberating Cocoon, huh?"
"Yup, But we need a good strategy. This is why we came here. Midgar is safe from the clutches of Tenebrae. Rufus won't let them come near. "Even though she kinda felt awkward around the man, after all he had done in the past; he wasn't such a bad guy at all. Besides this was technically the only blood relations Lightning and Serah had left.
The flight to Midgar was boring. They managed to escape Cocoon in the right niche of time. Lightning and Serah walked along side each other, each looking to their surroundings. Despite the great Shinra owned city being rebuilt, and the plates being gone; it was still as gloomy as ever. The sky was dark and Cloudy and no sun ever shone through here.
They were on their way to see Rufus Shinra, their uncle. Something they both dreaded but had to deal with.
"Serah, up ahead." Lightning motioned over to the tall building that was up ahead. It was the Shinra building. Lightning bit her lip, took Serah's hand and fastened her pace. The Shinra building got closer, and closer, until they finally reached it. A huge red sign was at the top of the building which read 'Shinra'. This was it. It was time to go inside, and neither of them hesitated.
Lightning and Serah went inside and walked up to the front desk. "I need to see Rufus Shinra." She said to the front desk clerk. "I'm sorry miss, but he doesn't see anyone like you." It was an insult; she knew it was an insult. Lightning sighed heavily. "Listen here; I have business with the man." The clerk shook her head. "I'm sorry but you need an appointment." Lightning glared at her. "I don't need an appointment to see my Uncle God dammit!" Serah squeezed Lightning's hand. "Lightning...calm down." Of course, at her outburst everyone turned to look at her. "As far as I know, he has no nieces or nephews." The woman replied again. Lightning slightly growled in anger.
"Listen, I left Cocoon in order to see that bastard, and now you're telling me that I can't?"
"He will meet you in two hours." Lightning turned her head, only to face a young woman, looking as cheerful as ever. "Your Highness, I am Cissnei, I'm came here just to inform you that the boss will see you in two hours. Also, please excuse the rudeness of the front desk here." Cissnei glared at the woman. "After all, as the niece of Rufus Shinra, you have your rights here in Edge too." The woman heard the word niece and lowered her head down in shame. "Forgive me miss, I didn't mean to doubt you!" Lightning rolled her eyes. "So, in two hours?" Cissnei nodded.
"Very well." She then turned to Serah. "Lightning, I want to explore a little." Lightning shook her head. "By yourself?"
"I won't be long, please?" Lightning hesitated, but then nodded her head. "Okay, but be back here in two hours! No more than that." Serah smiled at her sister. "Okay!"
"Guess I'll do some exploring of my own then."
Stella was very very angry. Someone had ruined her day, and that someone was Lightning. She clenched her fists tightly, as she looked out the balcony.
"Stella." The sound of Noctis' voice cooled her down a little. She turned around to face him. "I'm heading home. There is no need for me to be here any longer." She smiled faintly at him. "Don't do anything stupid Stella." Noctis shot a glare towards Stella. "They endangered your life and mine. You know the penalty of treason, Noctis."
"What if she was kidnapped?" Stella looked away from him. "Why would they want her? She is nothing more than a commoner, who came from Pulse."
"And she is a highly trained soldier. A Sergeant in the Guardian Corps, and your bodyguard. They could have kidnapped her to take information about you out of her. After all she was with you all the time today." Stella bit her lip. "You have no evidence." She shot back.
"Oh, but I do, I saw a man taking her away against her will."
Noctis was indeed telling her the truth, except he added a little bit more detail. He wanted to see more of Lightning; he needed to see her live. What he wanted to know was the mystery behind the young Soldier. Noctis knew Lightning wasn't who she claimed to be. After all the words 'Your Majesty' lingered in his mind. Just who was she? Why was she working for Stella? The same question about Lightning was Why, What, When, Where, and How?
Stella narrowed her eyes. "That's right; the power of the crystal allows you such a vision." She muttered in defeat. "Very well then, but I will not stop until I find the ones responsible for this terrorist attack." Noctis snapped out of his thoughts, and he closed his eyes. "Very well, but just one tip, Stella. Don't play with fire, you could burn yourself."
"I am aware of that." She snapped back. She was aware of that indeed. If getting herself burned, also meant being successful, then she would continue with her plans.
Noctis sighed, knowing that Stella was going to stop at nothing to find the ones responsible for the attack. His mind wandered off again. He wondered; where did Lightning go? Would he see her again? He walked down the palace corridors, only thinking about Lightning. Noctis had a problem, and that problem was, Lightning.
Serah wandered off by herself. So many things had occurred in these past few days. But, she felt calm. She wasn't sad or depressed. She felt happy. All that happiness was related to Lightning. She was glad they were fighting for Cocoon's liberation, and the throne. Her wish was coming through. But instantly, He came to mind. Snow was on her mind. She hadn't thought about him since she left Eden. It was probably due to all of the excitement of the past few days. But when she did think of Snow; her mood dimmed down. She felt sad. Now that all this was happening, she knew she couldn't be with him anymore. It hurt her. Serah knew it would also hurt him. She stopped in her tracks, as she looked around. She didn't notice where or what part of the city she had gone to; what Serah knew was that she had arrived at a church.
She walked inside, to notice that the Church looked like it was falling apart. Fallen altars, and some pillars were on the ground as well. It seemed lonely at first glance, but it was also peaceful. She felt warm inside, like all her worries seemed to go away at that instant. The sun shone down on a particular spot. This intrigued Serah the most. Underneath the sunshine, there were flowers growing. Yellow and white colors radiated underneath the sunlight. She knelt down, slowly caressing them. A warm smile on appeared her face. "I wonder, how is it that sunlight, hits here and nowhere else? "Snow came to her mind once more. She felt a little sad. "I know." She said to the flowers as if they could hear her. "I thought I would never come back, but I did, and that ruins everything. I'm a princess. As soon as I see Uncle Rufus...I'm pretty sure I'm going back to my old life style. I don't want to hurt him, but I'd be hurting him even more if I don't stop being with him. So my mind's made up. "She smiled sadly.
Like Lightning, Serah could hear the whispers of nature slowly sing in her ears, as if they responded to her words. "I know, I know." She laughed softly.
Tifa and Snow had finally arrived at the Shinra building. "Tifa!" Tifa turned her head; she knew who's voice that belonged to. "Zack, you're early." He grinned. "Yeah well, I had to go see my favorite nieces." Snow laughed softly.
"Zack." The three looked up ahead, as a young woman walked towards them. "Cissnei." Tifa and Zack said at the same time. "Her Highness has arrived already. The boss will see you guys within two hours and thirty minutes. He's busy with other stuff at the moment."
"Well, I'm gonna go, see you two until then. " Before he went off, Tifa grabbed Zack by the ear.
"OW OW OW. TEEEEFAAA" Tifa glared at him. "I hope you're not going to go drinking with Reno and Rude." Snow winced at the way Tifa was handling the situation. He rubbed his cheek, as he remembered the time Lightning punched him in the face. He felt pretty bad for Zack.
Zack put his hands up. "No, no way! I'm just gonna go wander around I'll be back I promise!" Tifa didn't buy any of it. She sighed and shooed him off. "Alright, but if I smell any booze on you...Remember what happened last time." She turned her head towards Snow. Zack grimaced at Tifa's last words. Whatever memory that was, it sure wasn't a happy one.
"Well, I think I'll do a little exploring of my own. Don't worry I'll be back on time." Tifa smiled at Snow. "Okay, you don't have to tell me. If want to go, just go. "Snow grinned. The only reason he had asked, was to avoid being hurt by Tifa.
He had made it to the Healin Lodge. He walked up the staircase, feeling the wood creak underneath his feet, with each step he made. Cloud pushed the door open.
"Cloudy!" He was tackled. He almost lost his balance, but he quickly regained it. There was a young girl trying to squeeze the air out of him. "Yuffie." He could hear Vincent call her name. He grabbed the girl and pulled her off of Cloud.
"Glad you could make it, Majesty." Reeve called out from behind. Cloud narrowed his eyes at the other man. "In the past." He replied coldly. "I assume you came here for one thing, Cloud." Reeve added. "Yeah, I came here because I couldn't stand being in that wretched city any longer. My head began to buzz when I was around that girl named Serah, and her sister Lightning. Now I need my answers, why?" He quickly snapped. Reeve chuckled softly. "Whoa, Vince you were right. You can't even remember the bratty girl who was so clingy to him. "Vincent shot her a glare."Yuffie, even if she's been announced dead to the world. Claire is still our Princess, show some respect. Please." Yuffie turned her head. "What a stiff." She muttered an insult that was directed at Vincent. But of course, with his enhanced hearing he heard her, and he ignored her.
Claire? Our Princess? He tapped his foot in annoyance. "What do you mean, by 'Our Princess'?" Reeve sighed. "Cloud, that feeling you got when you were around those girls, means your memory was trying to come back to you. If you had stayed around them longer, I'm sure you would have gotten your memories back." Cloud shook his head. "That's not what I'm asking. Who are they really?"
"Oh boy." Yuffie muttered. "Listen you retard." Cloud shot her a glare. "Princess Claire and Serah are your daughters. Both you and the Queen had kids. Kay?" She crossed her arms; she received a glare from both Reeve and Vincent. "Yuffie, you were supposed to keep your mouth shut about that." Cloud stood there dumbfounded at the new revelation.
Daughters? He had kids? "Claire...and Serah..." He muttered. He tried to remember something, but the pain returned.
So many images flashed into his mind. He knelt down holding his head in pain. "Augh..." Yuffie was about to go help but Vincent put an arm out to stop her. "It seems that was a key to getting his memories back."
"Cloud look, isn't she beautiful? I think I'll name her, Claire."
"Wan tew fwee! I counted daddy!"
"Look Claire, she's your new baby sister."
"Papa! Look what Serah and I made!"
"Claire, you need to act a little more properly. Don't be so stubborn."
"Happy Birthday Sweetheart."
"I know you're scared, but I have to fight. You may not understand now, but you will when you're older."
"I'm proud of you. You will make a great ruler."
"Papa! Please don't go!"
He was in pain. He found himself in a flood of memories. Happy ones, Painful ones. He felt like he couldn't get out. He heard his name being called over, and over again. He thought he saw a hand reaching out to him. He went for it, and grabbed the hand. When he came to, he was knelt down on the floor. He looked like he was about to break. He was trembling all over.
"Cloud...it's alright. I'm always here for you." The gentle voice echoed into his mind.
"It's okay." He knew that gentle voice so well. He felt his eyes getting hot. But he refused to let those tears flow.
"Cloud." He heard his name. He looked up, to find that he never left this place at all. He stood up and glared at Reeve. "Did you remember?" Cloud narrowed his eyes. "A little bit." He said coldly. "All I know is that I was married to Aerith Faremis. We had two daughters. Claire and Serah. But, I can only remember so much." He shifted his glance over to Reeve. "Is this what you wanted to tell me?" Reeve sighed.
"We wanted to restore power to Cocoon by having Claire become Queen. But you are alive. Because you are remembering things faster than I expected-"
"You call ten years without any memories of my past fast?" Reeve chuckled softly. "Let me continue, Majesty." Cloud rolled his eyes.
"Now that your memories are coming back to you, it seems that Éclair becoming queen will have to wait a few more years." Cloud turned his back on them. "So you expect me to run Cocoon? I can't even keep up with the deliveries I make." Yuffie giggled. "That's what you said when you were still a newlywed. But both you and Aerith were great rulers. It was a great time for Cocoon."
"Sorry, I'm no King; I'm just Cloud, the delivery boy."
"Clou-" The door slammed. Yuffie pouted. "Stupid bastard. He was just like this back then too."
"He'll come around." Vincent smiled faintly.
Lightning walked around the gloomy city. Children were running around the streets playing soccer. The city seemed so peaceful despite the fact that it was so gloomy. She heard girls squealing. It was so loud, that she winced from it.
"Prince Noctis is coming back here tomorrow!" Another girl squealed. "OMIGOSH I wish he wasn't engaged to Stella. But she's so pretty!"
Noctis, Noctis Noctis! Lightning gritted her teeth. She heard his name everywhere she went. She stopped at a supply shop, and even the newspapers and magazines had his face on them. Lightning narrowed her eyes. What was so special about the prince? No one but her knew that he was arrogant, selfish, stupid, and a jerk. Even though he had a sweet side to him. He was gentle, and the way his strong, but gentle hands held on to her when they were dancing made her anger go down. The feeling of his strong wide chest made her heart flutter. When she heard more girls squealing, she snapped out of her thoughts. What was she thinking? She quickly walked away from the area. Lightning had been feeling weird, ever since that day. She tried her best to be cold towards him, but the simple fact that she kept remembering that one night, made her go soft.
What was Noctis doing to her? She didn't want these feelings of attraction. She wanted to get rid of them. The more she saw them, the more attracted she was to Noctis. Because she knew he wasn't such a bad guy. When he saw her run off at the banquet, he ran after her, trying to comfort her. Why couldn't she get that prince out of her mind?
She hated him even more. She hated everything about him. She hated how he was making her soft. But, she was glad that she wouldn't be seeing him anymore. That was the only plus side to things.
Snow walked around by himself. He wasn't too fond of this City. He missed Bodhum, he missed Serah. He wanted to see her so badly. He didn't know how long this mission would last. But he was sure of it, that he was going to help liberate Cocoon. But he didn't know how long it would last. He had promised to go see her, but he didn't. He broke that promise.
Snow felt terrible about that. He wondered how Serah was doing. Was she sad, did she miss him? How was Lightning? The man sighed, but his attention was directed to someone singing. Snow followed the voice, which in turn led him to a church. Though by the time he had gotten there, the singing had stopped. He pushed the doors open, and as he walked in his eyes had caught a glimpse of Strawberry blond hair.
Serah didn't notice anyone come in. She pulled a couple of weeds out. "I'm sorry."She spoke softly. She closed her eyes again. "Please, protect Claire." She spoke softly.
He could barely make out that voice, but he knew it all too well, Snow smiled and ran up to her.
"Serah!"
Her eyes shot open. "Don't step on the flowers!" He laughed softly, taking a couple steps back. Serah sighed not looking up at him. "This is the only place where the sunshine's, which makes them, grow so wonderfully." She stood up brushing off any dust or dirt on her skirt.
"What are you doing here, Snow?"
"Not happy to see me?" He grinned. Serah hated that grin. It made her feel warm. It was that grin that told her everything was going to be alright. She bit her lip. "It's not that, just didn't expect to see you here."
"So how about you?"
"History Class trip." She lied, wrapping her arms around herself. "I missed you Serah." Snow said as he got closer to her. Serah looked away from him. "I'm on a mission, this time to save Cocoon." He grinned at her once more. Serah smiled at him. "That's great!"
"Serah..." He reached in to grab her hand, but she quickly pulled away. Serah took a few steps back. Looking away from him. "Snow, we can't go on like this. I can't go on like this. "
"What? Serah? You don't really mean that." She shook her head, in disagreement. "I do, Snow this won't work out between us. You have your missions you go on, and I have school. I need to follow my dreams, and you're not in them. I'm sorry." Snow was left speechless. He rushed over to Serah and he pulled her close to him. "Hey, I told you that don't matter to me, whatever you do, I'll always support you."
She pushed him away again. "You don't understand! I don't need you!" She raised her voice at him. It pained her, but she did. She had to let him go. It was the only thing she could do, in order to help her sister. With that said, she quickly made a run for it. Leaving the tall blond man behind. Speechless he was. Snow never expected that from Serah, but something was off about her.
But his time was almost up, and he knew that saving Cocoon, he might just get Serah back as well. He was going to finish his last mission, for her sake.
"Sir, everyone has arrived, just as you planned."
"Claire and Serah?"
"Yes, including them, Sir." He sighed turning his chair around. "We have to hurry with these preparations. King Fleuret is planning to come at war with us soon. There's no doubt about that, and even if the King does nothing, Rest assure; Stella Nox Fleuret will go in his place. I don't trust that princess. Noctis was supposed to be engaged to Claire, but the little brat declined when she was younger. Though, now thinking about it, it was a foolish plan after all. I was foolish..."
A knock was at the door; Rufus Shinra shifted his glance over to the door. "Come in Cissnei." Cissnei bowed politely. "Sir." Éclair and Serah have are waiting for you outside."
"Bring them in."
Cissnei bowed before Rufus. "Of course Sir."
"Tseng, call for the maids, have them prepare the rooms for Claire and Serah." Tseng bowed. "Yes sir."
Rufus stood up from his seat, and he glanced out his window. Every time he looked out, he never saw anything beautiful. Just the same old slums. The poverty of the people. Ever since Midgar had been destroyed, even those who had come to live on the upper plates had to come to live like this. It was inevitable. Rufus never showed any concern for anyone. He was a selfish, ruthless man who used to believe that in order to prosper you needed power. To get the people's attention you needed them to quiver in fear. Rufus was aware of the atrocious things his family had committed. The monstrous beings that he helped create.
Yet, now he realized the errors of his ways, and he was trying to help instead of destroy.
A knock interrupted his thoughts. "Come in." Cissnei walked in with two young women trailing behind her.
"You may leave Cissnei." The Young Turk bowed her head and did as she was told, leaving behind, Lightning and Serah.
"Claire, Serah." He paused, not turning around to see them. "It's been far too long." Lightning glared at him. "I would have liked to keep it that way. Rufus Shinra." Rufus turned around with a smile on his face. "Come now dear. Is that any way to treat your dearest Uncle?" Serah sighed. "Forgive my sister, Uncle Rufus. She is being rude. "Serah shifted a small glance over to Lightning. Giving Lightning a small glare. The younger princess was not in a cheery mood as she was before. The elder sibling noticed this, and turned her head away in anger. "Rufus Shinra, why did you even call for us? We're dead to you." Rufus uttered a small chuckle. "Yes, to the world, not to me. I knew of your little escapade ten years ago. I kept watch over you all these years."
Lightning narrowed her eyes. " Now, Claire, Serah; Are you two prepared for what's to come?" Lightning didn't answer. "Yes, Uncle Rufus. We are; I have known this was to happen soon. Claire knows this also. We are prepared for anything. Even war." Rufus smiled. "My dearest Serah, war doesn't suit you. Just as it never suited your mother. "
"Well, enough chit chat, why don't you two go get changed? I have prepared some clean clothing for you in the next room. Do not come back until I call for you. Understood?" Lightning looked away.
"We understand. Uncle."
Lightning was harsh. She knew that. But how Serah remained well composed, and mature as if she'd done this before, was beyond her compression. Serah had came back a changed young lady. Lightning closed her eyes. She wondered what had made Serah change in just two hours. She furrowed her eyebrows, trailing behind her younger sibling. Apart of her wanted to ask, but Lightning knew better than to do that.
So many things happening. Cloud, Lightning, Serah, Snow, and A little bit of Noctis and Stella. I also felt that I had to somehow incorporate the breakup scene from FF13 in here. But of course with a little twist. Serah isn't a l'cie. She's a princess. Yes it is important to me. Also, Don't worry! I promise I'll add Vanille, Fang, Hope and Sazh soon! All of the characters in the story have an important role. Which is why I put so many point of views. Don't worry, I won't put so many things next time, I'll minimize the amount lol.
The Turks are butt kissers. Yet I still love them.
This story will be long. I might have to break it into parts. We'll see.
Thanks for the reviews guys! Keep pushing that review button! And do remember. AU THEME. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. So no flaming.
