...and he agreed to take her to the city of Ancients __________________________________________________________
****Where ever the hell Sephiroth is**** "Odd...although I suppose this will have to do...now to await my victims ...mwahahahaha" said a very out of place Sephy floating above an area full of monsters, perfect to fill in time.
****City of Ancients**** "Thanks Cloud I shouldn't be long" Aeris called as she ran to t he alter.
Only Cloud, Aeris and Cod went so the other two decoded to walk around the place till Aeris had finished what she was doing.
She finally reached the alter, where her last dark reckoning had occurred. She knew she had to go up there no matter how much she feared for her life becoming the same fate as her last one did.
She took the steps slowly, one by one, metre by metre. She could see the place where holy had dropped and could still see somewhat of a glow from the dark, murkey depths, amazed that saving the planet didn't destroy it.
Slowly she was there standing frozen in the exact spot she met her icy last breath, happy then that she ended with the assurance of survival in the planet. She knew what she had to do then as she did now.
She sat down, pausing slightly as she hit the ground. Closing her eyes she started chanting, slight faint words. Then she paused, eyes snapping open at the words she had received "Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna". She knew partly what this meant.
Aeris slowly rose up from the her position on the alter after meditating on the words for what seemed like hours. She started walking out to the entrance of the city, where Cloud and Cid were awaiting her return, She felt kinda week but refreshed at the same time.
Cloud and Cid were standing there waiting when they saw Aeris appear slowly before them, they went into the highwind because they knew she wouldn't say anything about what just happened. That was Aeries' Style she knew what was to happen and she wouldn't tell anyone, knowing that she was the key to make it happen.
The highwind slowly took off. It was so silent on the inside it could deafen someone. Aeris was sitting there, in the corner, staring at what appeared to be the ground, but it could have been anything.
The rest of the trip was spent in silence, not a word was said. Apart from Cid mumbling things occasionally not loud enough for anyone to hear, cigarette in mouth of course.
The highwind slowly came to a stop, giving the appearance of hovering the now destroyed Nibelheim. It was only from the sky that you could see the extent of the black ashes left by the fearsome flames of Sephiroth. You could even smell that evil had visited here, It was the smell that was so thick it made you choke.
When the highwind stopped Cid and Cloud were the first out. Cloud paused before he exited and looked over his shoulder to see Aeris still sitting there in the floor almost in a trance. He looked back round very quickly and continued walking, a few minutes later Aeris followed.
No-one seemed to notice her as she walked in which was probably just as well for she walked straight to the library and started gathering a few things she would need and taking them into one of the side rooms of the main foyer with enough space to open up a portal. A portal to where now would have been corrupted if Sephiroth had put any evil plans into action. IF. Hey after all, lifestream can't get him in another world.
AS for Sephiroth, he was having the time of his life. Battles to his hearts desire, but of course the creatures were pitiful compared to his strength. What kept him going was that he knew they were coming, he could feel there presence getting closer, It would only be a matter of time. He was ready for them though, he was ready for anything..or so he hoped.
****World of Final Fantasy VII****
Tifa was going to try and start up a conversation with Aeris or at least ask if she wanted help, but she knew she wouldn't get an answer or "No everything's fine."
Aeris eyes seemed different though, they weren't the usual green orbs that Cloud fell in love with, they were almost like stone. It appeared that she wasn't actually there, but after all she does have a lot of pressure on her shoulders about getting Sephiroth although she knew it will be done. She just hoped she wasn't too late.
****At least an hour later****
"FINALLY!!" exclaimed Aeris, the first time she had spoken in the last few hours. She came to a complete stop Yuffie still feeling like her head was still going backwards and forwards from watching Aeris too much, was wondering what the hell would happen next, obviously they were going after Sephiroth, but she still didn't understand the concept of getting there.
Aeris had placed a few things around already. In the room was a ring of stones (quartz) and a few things in the centre. The circle was large enough to accommodate the whole group, but the others still wondered how the hell that was meant to get them to Sephiroth.
Well they finally found their answer. Aeris gathered all them all of tem into the tiny yet relative large room. She told them all to form a circle holding hands just inside the stone circle. She sat in the centre and started concentrating really hard knowing that this would work.
You could feel the pressure of power and energy in the room it tremendous ... The air was so thick you almost couldn't breathe, and somehow Aeris seemed to be relaxed throughout the whole of course she was in deep concentration, but none of them (excluding Aeris, of course) had ever felt this thing before. Even the intense scene at the Northern Crater wasn't even comparing to this. They felt almost re-energised but week at the same time, Somewhat drained but still pressing on.
They would make it through this....like always.
In that instance when Aeris muttered the words lifestream had given her, mixing together some of the item infront of her. The room seemed to almost glow with a pure white light and it felt like they were rising....they were. They were following a path of white light out of there, Aeris being the main leader, now standing and looking upwards feeling the power, knowledge and blood of the Ancients course through their veins. It was happening.it was finally happening .
She had achieved two things. Successful in following Sephiroth and reaching a new planet with her powers.
****Sephiroth**** "Yes, they're coming..lead them to my sweet sweet Aeris, than you shall take your place with me in destroying two worlds...mwahahahahaha....finally you are mine.after all you are the key" with a cold morbid tone. He was happy. Sephiroth was finally happy he could see his malicious plans come into action.
The crew lay unsuspecting of what lies ahead of them in the world to come..will they regret it or not..only time shall tell!!!
