*Nexis arrives in Kalm on his trusty friend, Coal Black, the River/Mountain Chocobo. They both walk over to his house*

In front of Nexis's house, a circle of light blue energy appears as particles began appearing within it. Slowly, the particles began forming a solid figure; the figure was of Jex who was trying out his ability to Quantize and transport himself to different places. Looking around, Jex said with a smile, "Well, I guess I made it!"

*smiles sadly* Thanks, guys, for showing up. I really do appreciate it. Sephiroth should be here in a moment. If you guys would just have a seat.

Tell me what you cherish most...
Sephiroth landed gently, folding his wing behind him and letting it hide away.
"Sorry it took so long, had to find this suit...haven't worn it in years." He said as he took a seat with the others.
... give me the pleasure of taking it away.

*Nexis sits down, a tear in his eyes* Alright. Since it's not a very big group here, let's go around the room, remembering what we loved about my Dad. Tifa, let's start with you. You knew my Dad pretty well. After you, Sephiroth. Jexam, if you want to throw anything in there, feel free to. After you all speak, I'll say some final words.

*Stands up* Well, I've known Zangan since I was young. He was my teacher. And he called me his most beloved student. He taught me so much about life and self defense. His words and teachings helped me become who I am today. He will forever be missed and though of, and his story will live on through me and will be told to my children, and my children's children. Gone, but not forgotten, we will miss you, Zangan. *sniffles into a tissue*

Robyn appeared silently at Sephiroth's side, almost as if she were there the whole time. She leaned her head against Sephiroth's shoulder and held his hand tightly.

Tell me what you cherish most...
Standing as he fiddled with the prayer beads in his hand Sephiroth spoke.
"A wise man said that there was no death, only a trip back home." He looked down at the beads, sighing before he continued. "Zangan will never truly be dead, he'll always be here with us. In our hearts and minds... and I think we'll see bits of him in the new life coming soon." Looking to Tifa he pulled the beads from his hand, "He gave me these a long time ago, when I was young and reckless. And now I give them back, as a much more mature and wiser man." Setting the beads in front of the fireplace before returning to his seat.
... give me the pleasure of taking it away.

Looking at everyone, Jex was at a lost for words. Opening his mouth, he started, "Although I know nothing of Zangan, I believe that he was a great man. There was something I heard once... 'As long as we don't find that answer... even if we die, our journey won't end.' I really believe that this relates to the answer we all try to find as we live out our lives. So, even though we're dead, our journey and the lives of those dear to us continue. Because of this, I can only say that we should all look forward to tomorrow, live for today, and remember the past..."

Robyn nodded and stood. "I don't know Zangan personally either, but seeing the way people are reacting to his death, he must have been an exceptional man. A man who's live should be celebrated. His teachings touched the lives of important men and women who changed and are still changing the world."

*Nexis wiped the many tears from his eyes* Dad, I know you can hear us in the Lifestream, and know that I hear you. You know you've touched many lives. *Nexis looks to Tifa* The most exceptional student he's ever had, able to master Final Heaven. You made him so proud, Tifa. *Sephiroth* The way you've fought, and the honor you've redeemed, you are indeed a great warrior, and a great person. *Jexams and Robyn* You both, thank you for the honor of showing compassion to a man you did not know. *Looks to everybody* And from father to son. He tells me he is so proud of me. He remembers when he found me. He wanted a son so badly, but his lifestyle wouldn't have allowed him to settle down. He said I was his miracle. He knew when I was young that I was a Cetra, for he often heard me talking 'to myself'.
*Nexis laughs* To all of you, thank you. You've touched both my heart, and my father's heart. Dad, may you rest in peace. Born of the Lifestream, thus, too, is where you go. *tears are streaming down his face*
But, we have one more task. I'm heading to Mt. Nibel. Any who wish to attend with me may do so. If not, I'll see you back in Edge, in the bar. *Nexis grabs the urn*

*Nexis wipes the tears from Coal's eyes* Thank you, friend, for standing by me. *Gets on Coal* Got room for two more.
