Thread: ☢Final Fantasy: Edyn's Lament☢ [-Haru|Lila-]

Stone was well aware of his sister and how soothing this was for her, and yet he felt torn by the whole ordeal. Though for the most part he could ignore Jenova, the dueling nature's of Edyn and Jenova warred within him as well. One in anguish over what was happening and the other reveling in the chaos and destruction. Stone only found solace in Aeshir, and he was determined to keep her safe and out of harm's way in all of this. It was the only thing keeping him sane. Looking at her with obvious affection, his eyes slipped down her form as she stretched, and his desire for her bit sharp as any blade. Stone shook his head at her question though. We will draw closer to her, but we should not move upon her suddenly, lest she flee again. Or, should we wish to keep our freedom, we might tip her to our presence. I am sure that she can feel us, and I would wager another day will have us upon her doorstep. Stone pointed to what must be a small village or hamlet in the distance, the first shimmering spots of light could just be seen as the sun was slipping toward the horizon. I would think that she is close to that settlement. Stone mused, and he found himself quite looking forward to sleeping in a regular bed. --------------- Listening as Lune spoke the man known as Stryker had to concede the point. I found that the further I got away from Jenova the clearer my mind has become. I can still feel her influence, but it is very muted and... thin. he told Lune as he explained it as best as he could. With a look that was almost apologetic he then said, I wish that I could hear the plnaet like you do. I cannot, but if everyone could hear the planet and know its' pain then I would hope that Jenova could be truly and utterly defeated. he said, and he felt a pang of discomfort, as if even speaking such words was betraying the small part of Jenova that resided within him. He gave no outward sign though, but knew that whenever the endgame came around that he might very well have to die. --------------- Cid listened with concern as Crest spoke her mind, and with a sigh he looked over the sprawling map once more and then back to Crest. I trust your counsel, both as a warrior, and as a Far'Anthi. I believe what you say and will follow your advice. We'll bide our time. he said. Looking around at the others he soon spoke again. Thise does not mean that we'll stop operations completely. We should send some of our most capable people to find this person that has escaped and see if we can enlist their help. The others should stay behind and continue our work, just to keep ARC on the defensive if anything. The reactions of the others seemed to agree with Cid, and there was no argument about going after ARC at the moment after Crest's reveal. --------------- The blaring of the siren and the bright red light sent the being's heartrate skyrocketing, and a baleful red orb stared at the door, silently willing the reinforced steel barriers to open, even just a crack, enough to give him a grip to wrench them off the hinges and let him loose in the facility. Raising his face to the air his nostrils flared as a familiar scent reached him, and a low grunt of satisfaction and recognition emanated from deep in his chest. The man once known as Reese Brahm calmed at the smell of the female just behind the doors. His elder sister was just beyond those doors and the pain of the last few months melted away at her proximity. Moving to the door with an alacrity that was utterly uncanny and supernatural, the being now known as Catastrophe dragged one hand along the smooth steel even as his elder sister mirrored his action on the other side. Searing hot plasma dripped from his eyes, sliding down his face to drip from his chin, smoking as they hit the steel beneath his feet. The metal there had been treated after his first few outbursts had melted right through the flooring and into the cells below, killing those occupants. Now the plasma sizzled and cooled, leaving burn marks but not longer melting through the floor. Closing his eyes the tears stopped, and a malevolent smile split his features as his sister departed.
