ffvii_100Title: E lucevan le stelle
Author: joudama
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Team: SOLDIER
Prompt: First Word, Last Word
A/N: The title comes from an aria, "E lucevan le stelle," and means "And the stars shone," but the idea for the word "stars" actually comes from Dante, because the last word of each book of the Divine Comedy was "stelle," "stars."
--
Stars shone brilliantly in the sky, and Sephiroth, for a moment, felt his breath taken away.
He had never seen the starts before - not for real, in the sky. He'd studied them, of course, memorized the names, constellations, but this--
The sky was so very vast, and he was so very small. But he was free.
He looked at the night sky often, in Wutai.
Until his first real battle. When it was done, he looked up, and did not feel small. There was no vast sky; only the flames he had caused, licking up to and blocking the stars.
