Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was quiet. The wind was hushed from its gentle breathing, allowing the cold to creep in, just as the sun settled down for rest. The silence discomforted the young lady with her hair tied back in a pink ribbon, the ends poking out, similar to a bow. She was only 22, and already, her life was reaching its crisis. Her crisis was the planet's crisis, and vice versa. There was no escaping it, either way. Even if she ran away, he would find her.

Fear protruded the very recesses of her mind, causing her to fidget. Gripping the leg of her pink dress, she squeezed till her hands were pale of color.

He was here.

Footsteps stirred in the underbrush, small animals blazing past her feet. She turned around, her green eyes focused on the large shadow just up ahead. It was him. He was coming closer, disregarding the disruption of slumber he caused for the woods. The birds chirped angrily, only to be silenced the minute he passed them by.

In moments, he was standing before her. Sephiroth.

It was quiet. The wind was hushed from its gentle breathing, allowing the cold to creep in, just as the sun settled down for rest. The silence was discomforting to me and the cold only made me shiver. It wasn't just the cold that caused a shiver to run up my spine. No, it was the thought that brought me out here in the middle of the woods. Out here after dark.

I could feel my heart pounding steadily quicker, the usual potence of salivation cutting short, cursing me with thirst. I was scared.
This particular time in my life, my 22 year life, was quickly coming to an end. I could already feel my life draining. For once, I was angry at the planet for making this decision for me. For allowing it to use me as a sacrifice for its own benefit. How selfish could you get?

But, no, I was the selfish one for thinking such things. I quickly dispelled the thoughts from my mind. The fear and uncertainty of what he would do once he got here protruded the recesses of my mind, causing my hands to grip tightly onto my skirt till they were drained of all color.

He was here. I could feel him so vividly. That cold, dark, malevolence that was unmistakably his aura was growing stronger.

Footsteps stirred in the underbrush, causing the disruption of sleep for the tiny woodland creatures. I felt nothing for them, only focusing on the fear heading my way.

The birds chirped angrily, only to be silenced the minute he passed by. In moments, the tall and flawless shadow had transformed into a God-like man. Standing before me, only an armlength's reach away from me, was Sephiroth. My one and only fear.
