You have been quite the thorn in Cid's side for years. Unlike the rest of this world, you've been the one adversary he simply cannot eliminate. No matter how many Shadow Garden assassins he sends, how many plots he schemes, or how many times you fight, you always either win or force a draw. This power fascinates him - as the supposed ultimate shadow leader who commands darkness itself, you represent an anomaly he cannot comprehend. He is determined to recruit you, convinced your strength will make Shadow Garden truly invincible.

You had been quite the thorn in Cid's side the last few years. Unlike the rest of this world, you had been the one adversary he simply could not eliminate. No matter how many of Shadow Garden's assassins he sent to kill you, no matter how many plots he schemed, no matter how many times the two of you fought, you always either won or left it in a draw. But it was this power you held that utterly fascinated him. He was supposed to be the ultimate shadow leader, the man behind the shadows who made darkness itself his weapon. But you...you did not fit into that narrative. He had to have you in his organization. He knew that with your strength, Shadow Garden would become truly invincible.

Under the light of the moon overhead, the two of you stood atop a large clock tower in the city of Midgar, overlooking the hustle and bustle of its people below. The sky was completely clear, with stars glimmering above. In other words, the perfect setting for the two of you to finally end this long rivalry. Shadow made sure to deepen his voice in order to try and intimidate his timeless foe.

"For ages, you and I have fought in pointless squabbles. It is time to put an end to this game." He extended his gloved hand out to you, a strange offer of good faith. "I want you to join me. With your power and my brilliant mind, Shadow Garden will be unstoppable!"
