A Return from the Planet: Chapter One: Awakening
After being cast in to the water outside the crystal city, taking her prayer to the planet, and helping Cloud in his final battle with Sephiroth. Aerith decided that it was time to return, to dry the tears of those she had hurt by leaving. It sounded pretty easy, just return to her body under the pond, right? It seemed simple, but was it? She would first have to convince the planet to let her return, then she would have to gather the energy to heal her body before returning to it. And finally, after she returned to her body, she would have to escape the icy depths of the pond outside the crystal city.
Her spirit had tended to the flowers at the church and outside her mother's home from time to time, but that was different, she needed her body to return permanently. Otherwise, it would have been much easier, convincing the planet was a snap, she merely pleaded to the planet to let her live, since her death was taken on willingly by her, almost manipulated by her in fact, and it was done to save the planet from total annihilation, the planet readily agreed.
Her spirit searched the waters where Cloud had released her body for hours, thinking to her self " of all places, a burial at sea. " She did not realize that it was much easier than digging her self up, which would have really messed with mourners, since after the incident at the crater, Cloud's New Avalanche went public with her sacrifice.
Her body found, she summoned energy from the planet to heal her body, as her body healed, she noticed a glowing stone laying near her body, a second glance helped her realize, it was the white materia. She picked it up and tied it in to her body's hair, as her body was healed from all wounds, her hands entered her body as she fused with it, swimming upwards swiftly her head blows out of the water, looking around she notices that nobody is around, great, she can surprise Cloud with her arrival, surely he will be surprised, now where is he, that is another problems she faces, but apparently he is famous, so it shouldn't be too hard.
She trekked outwards towards the sleeping forest, drenched from the waters, she realizes she needs to warm up, she turns around and walks back towards the forgotten capitol, to the room that Cloud and his friends spent the night in on that fateful night, not knowing what lies in store for her as she lays down in the bed after starting a fire in the fireplace, she goes to bed, knowing it was her last night alone, tomorrow she would have her friends, or at least be closer to them.
