Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was snowing in Midgar City. Shinra officers patrolled the streets. It was quiet out, and inside a bar called 7th Heaven, Tifa Lockhart and Cloud Strife kept the children with Geostigma Syndrome warm with fresh blankets and cups of hot cocoa. They counted the children, but noticed that one was missing.
"Where's Leanna?" Tifa asked. She looked around, but saw that the child had left her one crutch behind. "Oh dear...."
"I'll go look for her. She's probably outside." Cloud said. He grabbed a coat and scarf and trudged outside. The snow fell silently, and Cloud trudged onward. He heard a little girl humming a soft tune. He moved towards the noise and found Leanna sitting alone on the sidewalk. She had a brown basket and was putting flowers inside of it.
"Flowers in the wintertime...?" Cloud thought to himself. The girl's one black wing twitched as snow piled up on it. Leanna didn't seem cold at all, but frost was forming on her wing. Cloud went over to her and put his scarf on her shoulders.
"Leanna, you'll freeze to death out here," Cloud said, picking her up. "Tifa and I got worried."
"But I found flowers!" Leanna responded, holding a blue daffodil up to Cloud's face.
"That's nice, but we need to get you out of the cold," Cloud replied. He picked a small icicle off of her silver bangs. "I don't know how you survive these conditions."
"Is Ms. Tifa mad at me?" Leanna asked. Cloud looked down at her.
"No, she's not." Cloud responded.
"I want to walk! I don't want to be a bother!" Leanna exclaimed. Cloud set her down on the snowy sidewalk. She put walked forward, slipping on the ice a little, flapping her wing frantically. Black feathers littered the sidewalk, and stuck there. Cloud laughed and opened the door for her into the 7th Heaven Bar.

Tifa draped a blanket around Leanna's small shoulders.
"I'm glad you've finally come back," She said. "Now how about some hot cocoa?" Leanna smiled and sat down next to a boy named Marlene.

Leanna jumped down from her spot on the sofa and limped to the door.
"Leanna, what is it now?" Tifa asked. She gave Leanna her crutch.
"Someone's cold..." The girl said, and opened the door. She saw Annabelle by the door. "Oi!!" Annabelle turned around.
"Do you want to come inside?" Leanna shouted, hands cupped around her mouth.

Leanna limped to get Tifa and pulled Tifa towards Annabelle.
"Oh you poor thing...." Tifa said, and draped a blanket over Annabelle's shoulders. "Please, come inside." Tifa led Annabelle to a stool by the bar and went behind the bar.
"Do you want coffee or hot cocoa?" Tifa asked. Leanna came from behind the counter, carrying a strange crystal ball. It was blue, but then Leanna cried out in pain as she accidently kicked the corner of the counter. The ball suddenly turned orange.

Leanna stopped hopping and put the crystal ball on the table. She sat on the bar stool next to Annabelle, staring into the ball. An image of a black feather falling from a blue sky appeared.

Clawfang walked through the snow shivering. "C-crap... why oh why did i leave that room?!" he wondered for the 5th time that night. He bumped into a woman as he walked by.

Stopping he turned around and helped her up "Sorry miss i wasn't paying attention to where i was going..." he laughed sheepishly.

Clawfang nodded quickly "Yes please!" he chattered as he drew his cloak closer to himself.

Clawfang followed the woman inside. "Thank you miss..." he told her gratefully as he sat down in a nearby chair.
