Cloud held Aries' light body for a few moments more...before sending her off into the water to sink to the bottom. Cloud and friends watched as Aries' body flowed down deeper into the lake, her presence looking like an angel.
After they walked away, Aries' body stirred in the water. Her eyes opened painfully under the water. She had no idea where she was. She saw some light. She had to go towards it. It might even save her. She began to run out of air as she struggled to swim to the light...Suddenly, just when Aries was going to give up, a hand reached in and pulled her out.
Aries was expecting to look into the face of cloud, but to her surprise she saw a girl. Coughing, Aries smiled a little.
"Who are you?" coughed Aries.
"I'm Dice. And this black thing is Nariko."
Aries looked at Nariko and smiled. "You remind me of Nanaki, my friend...Well, we all called him Red. But, still..."
Nariko sneered at Aries and looked away. Dice frowned at Nariko's behavior. "Pardon her bad attitude...I call her Nari. Anyway, who are you?"
"I'm Aries. I thought I had died, when something happened and I just-"
"Ohh.... you had died? No wonder you came back to life! I had just used a Life Spell. I guess it hit the lake too. Oops."
"I'm glad I did! I owe you my life!" said Aries, shaking Dice's hand.
"You're welcome. By the way.... who dumped you in the lake? I saw a strange blond guy walked by me, but he didn't say anything..."
"What?!... C-cloud?...just dump me here?" she said, wringing her hair and clothes free from water.
"You can think about this over at my place. Come on, I have a chocobo." Dice then called for a chocobo with a strange whistle. A black chocobo then ran up, squawking at everyone. "This is Comet. He's a nice bird...I guess. Ha! Kidding, Comet! Kidding!"
Dice then got on Comet and offered Aries a hand up.
*Should I really go with this girl? I hardly know her...* thought Aries.
Finally, Aries grabbed Dice's hand up. Dice smiled and swung Aries on Comet's back. "Come on, Nari. We're finally getting out of this place."
Nari smiled big and waited for Dice to go first, staring at her with her big jade green eyes. "Great."
Comet squawked again and then rode off at a medium pace, as to not wear himself out. Nari kept up with Comet easily, as her tail waged slowly back and forth as she walked.
Aries tried to strike up conversation while on the chocobo's back. "Um. Exactly what are you, Nari?"
"A very good question. But, it's so hard to answer. I am what you see." She replied.
Aries then remembered about how Nanaki had answered that very same question.... I am what you see. Aries then thought about asking of her tribe, but she refrained from it, saving it for later.
Dice sighed as they exited the forgotten city. Dice steered Comet up some stone steps that lead up into the forest.
"Hey, I never remember seeing this short cut." Said Aries.
"Well, only a few know about it. Not many make it through the forest."
"oh. Alright. Hey can we stop somewhere and have a bite to eat? I'm starving!"
Dice reached into the backpack she had hung over the side of Comet's neck and pulled out a sandwich. "Here, eat this. It's not that good, but it'll keep you from going hungry."
Aries took it and smiled. "Thank you..."
