The rain fell heavier, Cid stood motionless, his glowing crimson eyes cutting through the darkness. The eerie light they cast reflected in the eyes of everyone present, a heavy presence that filled the ruined town.
Everyone was focused on him. The silence between them was suffocating, the air thick with unease.
Aurora, the only one smiling in this grim setting, floated above, her eyes never leaving Cid. (shes Invisible btw)
The three Shades, Alpha, Zeta, and Epsilon, all looked at him with growing concern.
Especially Zeta. She knew that pain very well... the pain of seeing loved ones torn from you. That emptiness and the urge to break, to let everything crumble away.
She clenched her fists as she watching Cid.
Was this the moment he’d break? They couldn’t be sure.
Cid finally moved....
Cid turned away from the bodies of his parents and approached Claire, With each step he took an eerie and cold sensation is felt by everyone looking at him.
He stopped in front of Claire, who remained kneeling by their parents' corpses, tears silently streaming down her cheeks as she tried to comprehend what had happened. She didn't even notice Cid standing there until his soft voice broke the silence.
"Onee-sama... I have to go now," he murmured.
Claire barely registered his words, her mind still locked on the horrifying scene in front of her. But as Cid turned to walk past her, she instinctively reached out.
"Wait, Cid-!"
Before she could finish, her eyes fluttered shut, and she crumpled to the ground. Aurora, now occupying her body, had knocked her unconscious in an instant, taking control without a word.
"Cid..." she whispered weakly, just before everything went dark.
'Aurora' knelt beside the bodies of Claire's parents.
Cid glanced back at her briefly, noticing the sudden change in Claire’s mana signature. But he didn’t say anything. He didn’t care.
He turned back and continued walking, As he neared the exit, he passed by the trio of Shades who stood frozen, watching him. The tension is heavy.
Zeta, unable to stand it any longer, stepped forward. "Master..."she called out softly, her voice trembling.
There was so much she wanted to say, so much she wanted to do, but...
Cid didn’t even look at her. He simply walked past them.
"Master!" she tried again, but he was already gone, his sillhouette fading into the dark forest.
Alpha and Epsilon moved to chase after him, desperation and worry in their eyes. But Zeta grabbed their arms.
"No..Let him be..." Zeta said, shaking her head.
"Zeta, we can’t just-!" Epsilon protested.
Alpha turned to her sharply, confusion and disbelief flashing across her face. "What are you saying, Zeta?! He need-"
