When they got back to the base they all sat and had a victory
dinner.
Lacey just sort of stared off into space. Vincent and Natalie sat
, quite content and all of the rest of their army slept
peacefully when they were done eating. Lacey finished her steak,
and wine then retired to her room. A few minutes later Natalie
and Vincent knocked at her door.
"Come in" she said wearily.
Natalie and Vincent walked in and sat down. Lacey sat on the bed
stroking Sephiroth's masamune. "I decided to pick it up for
safe keeping. He doesn't need it at the moment." Natalie
nodded and patted Lacey on the shoulder.
"We are sorry about your loss Lacey. We tried to warn him
but were out of distance." Natalie looked at Lacey and wiped
away a tear with her finger.
Lacey smiled. Vincent looked at her solemnly and smiled, his ruby
eyes sparkling. "What are you going to do now Lacey? Will
you stay? We could sure use a general for our army."
Lacey shook her head. "No, I have something I need to do.
You two will be fine without me. Natalie you are now Queen as you
were originally meant to be and I guess you two are to be married,
I'm sorry to miss the celebration, but I must leave a part of me
remains unfinished. You two must make your own journeys together
for your love binds you."
Lacey stood up and dug into a drawer in her dresser. Finally she
found what she was looking for. "For a wedding gift I
present this to you, may you live long lives, and may you know
only happiness." In Lacey's hands were two white orbs, about
the size of materia. She placed one in her cornet of state that
she wore and the other in Natalie's father's crown. "May the
two kingdoms combine." Lacey said as she placed the crown
atop Vincent's head and the cornet atop Natalie's. A bright light
filled the room and Natalie and Vincent's eyes widened in
amazement. Before them was the past, present and future of their
lives, and all that has been and will be. Once they came out of
their trance Lacey was gone and a small note remained.
To the King and Queen of the Shang Hai
Sorry to leave so abruptly, but you have been in that trance for
2 hrs.
Amazing huh? I have taken the general scroll If you don't mind so
that I can find the one perfect person for the job. That person
will come back with this very scroll. I hope your love continues
on, and prospers as mine once did. Build and rule your kingdom as
well as possible. From now on I am dead if anyone asks, my life
as long as it goes on must remain a secret. Keep this world alive.
You, my friends will always be in my heart.
Your good friend and general
Saber wolf/Lacey, though my loved ones call me Sheyala, and you
have earned that right.
-Sheyala-
Vincent and Natalie smiled as the full moon of midnight rose.
This world would change, and Sheyala would soon be avenged. Rufus
would be killed, along with Hojo for their horrible deeds, but
for now their hearts knew only the peace that Sheyala had given.
Lacey walked on the beach awaiting the moons midnight rise,
finally it came. She smiled as she held the masamune in her hand.
Anya stood behind her, leaving large tracks in the sand. Lacey
stood as if waiting for someone, with a sadness in her eyes. When
, finally a figure emerged from the water. It stalked up to Lacey
slowly. This is what she was waiting for.
The figure kept walking until it stood clearly beneath the
moonlight. It's silver hair dripped and it's face dripped with
sweat, as if on a long journey. Also, a small green glow
protruded from his chest. Sephiroth had made it, the crystal
worked, love bound them and there he stood with his glowing mako
eyes. Sephiroth walked up to Lacey and bowed, his knees gracing
the sand. Lacey shook her head and pulled his hand up. "I am
no Queen. That I am leaving in the hands of Natalie and Vincent.
I am just a rouge warrior, a barbarian, an outlander."
Lacey turned to Sephiroth as she choked down the last words of
her statement. She handed Sephiroth his sword.
Sephiroth stood speechless. "Why, How did you know Rufus was
the killer of your parents, and mine as well?" Sephiroth
asked.
"Well, when I was looking for you after I was revived I
overheard a conversation. Rufus was upset you survived and happy
I was dead. He wanted all that were more strong than he
demolished. He sent us on that mission to make sure we were
killed. And my parents were killed because they knew about Dr.
Hojo's secrets and Shin-Ra's as well. I wanted revenge."
She finished her sentence and sat on Anya's warm back. Sephiroth
nodded and said "Now Rufus has paid the price and has lost
power, we can now live free you and I" Sephiroth smiled.
Lacey shook her head and frowned. "This is hard for me
Sephiroth, but I must leave. I have to go after Rufus alone, it
is personal now and I want him to see what has become of a girl
who was terrorized by him."
Sephiroth shook his head and grabbed her. "No Sheyala, we
must go together."
Lacey shook her head again, "No you have a duty to do and
you will wait for me to return." She handed him the scroll.
And Sephiroth began to tear, but not as much as Lacey. Lacey
reached around Anya's neck and untied a small string that was
fastened around it. She picked it up and gave Sephiroth the small
crystal dagger.
"Here, this is to remember me by. We will also be able to
communicate by using the crystals." Lacey wiped the tears
from her eyes and continued. "Sephiroth I love you and I
always will."
Her crystal glowed so much, she thought it would explode, but it
did not. She went to mount Anya to leave but Sephiroth stopped
her.
"Here, Sheyala this is to remember me by" he gave her
the small materia that hung from his waist. It was a master
summon materia. Shiva, and Diablos. "You will come back to
me promise?"
Lacey said "Yes," and turned.
"Wait one more thing Sheyala to remember our love."
Sephiroth pulled her close and gave her a long kiss. When they
released each other Lacey turned and walked away, her brown hair
shining in the light. Sephiroth suddenly heard her voice in his
head. "Good-bye my love." As she walked into the
sunrise Sephiroth smiled, he knew she would be back.......
One day.........
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
Your the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
Chorus:
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know your alive
Chorus
