[color=9e0b0f]"You and I both know what happened the last time I 'died'. And once again, assumptions, assumptions. Either way, that was the past, this is now. Oh and let me just tell you.. I AM in control. Just of something, oh so much more important. Do you understand that, [b]Cloud?"[/b][/color] It was almost like his words were vemonous, especially the way he said Clouds name. He truly wasn't trapped. No.. even if they found a way to stop him, even if they managed to 'kill' him, his will would refuse. He would refuse death itself, until he claimed his birthright. [color=9e0b0f]"I'm rather disappointed you haven't realized by now. And Cloud.. I can tell you're afraid. The fact we are both in here, rather scary.. is it not? Don't lie to me now. I have forseen it. Why beg to die so easily? What happened to your fighting spirit? Were all the deaths for not? Just because I am in this cage with others? I cannot believe it.. a Hero begging to die, for all of his progress to be wiped. I always knew you were suicidal when it came to me, but this is a low blow."[/color] Whether or not it was obvious what Sephiroth was doing, he made sure it would become slowly more obvious. .. He was reading Clouds mind. Every action, every thought, he was foreseeing. All with a grin on his face, as his eyes began to stare directly into his soul. He didn't need new material to scare Cloud.. all he needed was hatred. And it was oh so easy to obtain. Sephiroth is a bloodthirsty maniac, insane to the core.. but he still kept his intelligence from before falling into madness. Something of which Cloud should know by now. He wouldn't pick a fight until he truly knew Cloud was strong enough, and Sephiroth? [b]He was more than strong enough.[/b] [color=9e0b0f]"Now let me warn you, Cloud. You asked for this."[/color] Almost in an instant after saying that, Sephiroth summoned his sword, as he didn't even have to move until it appeared behind Clouds neck. He didn't intend to harm him at first.. but just for the extra thrill.. [b][u]It went deep.[/u][/b] Before it could cause any more harm, Sephiroth summoned it back into his arm, however the sheer pain from it being there, even for just a few seconds would surely be difficult to manage. This was Sephiroths loop hole to his whole situation. However he focused his gaze on a different person for a few seconds, almost like he was.. angered? [color=ed1c24]"I suggest you leave with that comment, and stop intruding on our little game. Or do you want to participate?"[/color] Sephiroth spoke with even more malice in his eyes, and very tongue. He wasn't that accepting of any passersby, whether it be them thinking about what Sepiroth and Cloud were doing, (mainly Sephiroth though,) or if they said it outloud. He would simply bring Cloud into an illusionary world, but that would raise more questions. Something he didn't have time for. [@ratKing][@TheElenaFisher]
