Character: Sephiroth
Warning: Written / Edited in 15 minutes...
Notes: Well, ignoring that it got away from me in the second half (life of its' own sort of thing here) it's not that bad. Not exactly a ringing endorsement, but for only my second try at this whole 15 minute thing, it's decent. XD
“Mother…”
The word slipped unconsciously from his mouth as he watched the young cadet dash across the town square and tap lightly on the last door. It opened slowly, and a woman with dark hair peered around the edge of it for a moment before flinging it open and tossing her arms about the boy. The boy returned the hug with enthusiasm, blushing slightly as though he realized they were being watched.
Sephiroth turned away, sadness hidden carefully away. The boy seemed so happy to be home, so happy to visit his mother, and she in turn was so very happy to see him. As he gathered his sword to head out of town for a bit and kill some monsters, thoughts resounded in his head.
Would his mother have done the same, if he had gone home?
If he had known where home was?
She was beautiful, in his mind. Tall, and graceful, and everything that his father would never be. Kind. Loving – yes, above all, she was loving, and she loved him. She’d worry about him while he was gone. She would have been just like the cadet’s mother, excited and overjoyed to see him home safe after so very long away.
If only he knew where to find her…
He’d thought it was cruel to know that his mother was dead, that he’d never see her again. He’d thought it was wrong, and awful, that his birth had caused her death. He’d even thought that his father might be justified in hating him, in treating him as he did.
Somehow, his father’s announcement that she was alive and that he’d never find her because that was how his father wanted it had been so much crueler than anything that had come before it.
“Mother…” Sephiroth said softly, gazing blankly at the mountains of the Nibel region rising to meet the sky. “Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll be home soon.”

And in completely random news, I'm playing through FFVII again and had a lot of fun altering Cloud's name at the beginning so that he introduced himself as Zack. ^.^;;; So not only will "Cloud" get to have fun with having Zack's memories, he's going to have sort out which memories belong to which Zack. ^.^;;;
... Well, *I* was amused, anyways. ^.^;;;;
