inside Zack's mind! ^^

well...I guess you could say I'm back! Somehow I was brought back from the lifestream. Don't ask me why, because as of yet, I have no clue. Cloud and Tifa both asked me the same question, and I drew a blank.

It got me thinking though, thinking about the reasons I actually might be back. Making sure Cloud doesn't fall to the darkness was high on my list. It always seems like I'm pulling Cloud out of trouble. But, I really don't mind, because ya know what? Cloud is my best friend, and I would do anything for him, just like I'm sure he would do anything for me!

I also thought it might be that second chance I had wanted when I lay dying. I had never told Aerith that I loved her, maybe this is an opportunity to do that! But...speaking of Aerith...I can't seem to find her. Tifa said she had gone somewhere, doing something. She says that Aerith will be back soon, but part of me thinks I won't ever be able to see her again...to talk to her. I just don't know! I want to know what I'm supposed to be doing.

And another thing worries me...Sephiroth. He's back, and trying to terrorize Cloud. I can feel him. Sephiroth used to be one of my good friends in SOLDIER, but now...well, he's just like the last time I saw him. Insane! Thats the only word for it.

Hearing about Sephiroth made me wonder if that was why I was back...to fight Sephrioth...? Or maybe it is to rescue Cloud from his grips. He hate's Cloud...with a passion, and I can't understand why, except that he is an unstable, emotional insane man. Yeah, I guess that sums him up perfectly...

So Cloud and I had a run in with Sephiroth. Yeah, once again, he seemed to have picked up quite a few new abilities and Magic's. He injured Cloud really bad, and I had to get us away. yeah, I'm worried about him!

So when I was dragging him away, we ran into this man called Noctis. Strange man, he keeps to himself with his thoughts. It almost seems like he doesn't like people. He doesn't talk more then he has too, but something tells me he is quite powerful. He tried to use his magic to heal Cloud, but in the process, something went really wrong.

I don't know what it is exactly, no one does. However, my closest guess would be Sephiroth. Somehow, some way, he found a way to control Cloud. We are in the land of darkness. I hate it here, I feel way to close to Sephiroth and evil for comfort. This Noctis told me that he could try to send me to where the "interference" or Sephiroth was, so that I could defeat Sephiroth. I just don't know if I can do it. for Cloud's sake, I will, but I don't know how its going to turn out in the end. I found that I might be back to die once again for Cloud.

I don't want to die, but then again, I should be used to getting pushed into things I don't want to do by now! I need to do this, but I wish I could see Aerith before I have to do it. I want to tell her something, but I guess I will just have to wait! I hate waiting, but Its not like I have a choice in the matter!
