[Red XIV]

Red XIII walked up to the girl sitting on the rocks. She looked very tired.
"Who are you and what are you doing in the Back Lands?" Red XIII asked. The girl didn't answer, obviously shocked that the animal could talk. "Are you awake?" Red XIII yelled, his fire tail getting larger. "Answer me!" After a moment the girl told Red all about what had happened. "Black Materia? What would you do with that?" Red asked with a worried expression. The girl didn't answer. "Well, come with me, for I have lost something, too...maybe that black figure who stole your materia is my thief," The girl, Jess, nodded and the two walked off, not knowing of the figure that loomed on the top of the cliff.
