Aries smiled, much to her happiness she had landed on solid ground. She was in a room that was painted silver with several pictures or angels scattered around the walls. She slipped of her shoes and let her feet slid accost the black velvet floor. In the corner their was a bed with a figure of a human laying a sleep, not a peaceful sleep she soon realized for he was tossing far to much.
"I guess he's the person I'm looking for." She said as she quietly walked over to him. She glanced down at his face and drew back.
"No it can't be! Sephiroth?!"
It couldn't be, could it after all Sephiroth had killed so many people, including herself. The great Sephiroth being a guarding?
He turned rapidly in his sleep.
Why should she help him?
He turned again his face facing Aries. Even though his eyes were closed she could see total fear in him. He was scared, being tortured by his own thoughts, his own mind. Aries felt sorry for him, she didn't know why she just sort of did. After all it wasn't him that killed her, it was Jenova.
"Might as well get this over with." She said setting down next to him. She took his hand in hers.
"Calm down Sephiroth." She looked into his closed eyes again and at that she no longer was setting next to him, she was within his mind, his dream.


She could see what was going on, like she was floating in void.
An image of a 7 year old boy floated in front of her. His long silver hair matted and streaked with blood.
"Let me go!" The young Sephiroth screamed
"Not until you tests are done." Hojo snored back
"The beating, the pain! Not again!" It was Sephiroth again but this time the older one.
The image disappeared and was replaced by another just as fast. This time he was in the ShinRa headcorders looking to be about 14. He was talking to a boy who looked to be a few years younger. The image was shatter like glass as Hojo appeared in the screen dragging Sephiroth away. The other boy was also being dragged away what looked to be Pr. ShinRa. She looked harder at the other boy, he looked so familiar.
"Rufus? Sephiroth? The two of them used to be friends?"
The seen was changed to a helicopter pad.
"Where are you taking me?" The young Sephiroth screamed.
"To where you'll never be distracted from you training again.
"you can't take my only friend away from me!"
"Friends will only get in your way!" Hojo snored.
"You Bastard!" It was the older Sephiroth again.
"He watching his whole past" Aries said. Obviously Sephiroth hadn't noticed her presence in his mind.
Blood, pain was all she could see, all he could think. Image after image of Sephiroth being tortured, beat in his childhood were being flickered in front of her. An image of Sephiroth in Soldier took it's place in his mind. His power was outrageous, he couldn't control it.
An image of Sephiroth breaking down screaming passed through view. This time it wasn't a flash back, it was really happening.
"Sephiroth hang in there!" Aries tried to yell to him. Before she could do anything about the suffering one winged angel the next image took it's place. When he first faced Jenova.
"But don't worry mother I'm here now. Everything will be fine." The past Sephiroth said.
"Don't do it!" The present one screamed.
"This making my head hurt!" Aries said.
The past Sephiroth's thoughts mingled with Jenova and they became one mind. She controlled his every though.
Much to Aries's surprise the next image she saw was of her kneeling, praying to Holy. The past Sephiroth fell from the sky his sword ready to strike.
"No Stop!!!! Please Jenova stop it!" The present one screamed. Then the image flickered out and the present Sephiroth appeared beside him. On his knees, hear in his hands.
"Sephiroth!" Aries shrieked. She ran over to his side putting her hand on his shoulder. At her movement he look up. His face was wet with tears.
"Sephiroth everything will be fine." She said.
"No it won't, I'm a murder! It's all my fault."
"It wasn't you it was Jenova."
"But it was still my hands." His image started to flicker as he was falling back into nightmares.
"No Sephiroth you can't give up! Sephiroth I'm here for you!"
Everything went black. Aries was no long in void but back setting on the edge of his bed holding his hand. This time though he was awake.
"Aries thank you." He blurted out "And.....I'm sorry, for everything." An apology? That was the least of what she was expecting. She smiled.
"It's ok Sephiroth. Like I told you, it was you it was Jenova." Aries wasn't afraid of him any more. A bit cautious maybe but not scared.
"If your wondering why I'm here I was-" She was cut off by Sephiroth nodding.
"I know. I was told, I'm not sure how though. I've been hearing many voices in head for the last few days. Come to think of it... Aside of today, were you saying anything to me?"
"No, I didn't even know that you were here." He frowned.
"Strange I could of swore I heard someone that sounded just like you." He got out of the bed and walked into another room. He came back in a few minutes dressed in his usual black pants, a white sleeveless shirt and a black trench coat. He also had the massium at his side. His outfit similar to the one he used to where but with out the belts or shoulder pads and this time wearing a shirt under the jacket that he now wore open. He drew his sword and sliced off a good portion of his hair so it reached his shoulders.
"That marks the end of Jenova controlling me." He said allowing the hair to vaporize in his hand. After assorting some metera on his armlet her walked over to her.
"Shall we go?" He said extending his arm to her. She nodded and excepted his hand.
"Yes, lets."
