One real teaser, now, just for the hell of it . . .

Here's the tale of a girl who couldn't die . . .
***
A chant, if you will.
"It is long past the time I should have done this, and I
fear that if I wait any longer, I shall no longer be
myself."
With great difficulty, the old woman drew a final line in
the dirt with her staff, completing a star . . .
***
"Check out that chick, Matthew!"
"The one with the luggage? Yeah, she's cute. Haven't
seen her around here before. She's probably a city girl,
getting off that train and all."
"Heh. You know what they say about city girls, right?"
"Yeah, yeah, I know. You told me. They're
'experienced.'"
"Wanna get her? Ask her out or something?"
"I don't see why not."
***
. . and what she did when she knew she could no longer
live . . .
***
"Do not hate me, daughter who has not yet been
conceived. I pray that you shall never know me for what
I shall become upon your birth."
. . a ten-sided star, composed of two pentagrams, one
inverted.
***
"Hey, honey. Need some help with that luggage?"
The girl looked at the two boys.
"Umm . . . Yes. I'm looking for a Doctor Stanton? Do
you know him?"
"Stanton? Yeah. The clinic's back in town. We'll show
you there. Just come with us."
"Er . . . It's alright, actually. I can handle -"
"No, we insist."
"Okay . . . "
***
. . and of the redemption of one person who couldn't
stand to watch things go on as they were . . .
***
"Do not hate me, daughter. Do not hate me, friends. This
is the last time I will have to end the eternal pain that my
life has become. It is selfish, but if I fail to do this, I will
condemn those around me to hell. I cannot do that."
She stood in the center, and raised the staff above her
head.
***
"And that over there? That's Old Lady Terra's property."
"The entire forest? She must be rich."
"Nah, she's just been here longer than most of us. Cranky
old witch, she is. Does all sorts of strange things."
"Umm . . . interesting . . ."
"Say, what's a nice girl like you doing out here in the
countryside?"
"Me? Oh . . . Well, I'm here to help Doctor Stanton out.
I'm a nurse."
"Ahh . . . Oh yeah. Forgot to ask you. What's your
name?"
***
Remember this story?
***
A flash of light . . .
"In my name, and in the name of this world, I give you
life. Of my essence, and the essence of light, I give you
form. Of my life, and the lives of my friends, I give you
a name. Your name is . . ."
***
"Jenova."
