Chapter 8: Free
--Ylnmën--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
'And out of it came the last person he expected there to be.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
And indeed it was a surprise and shock to find her there, for he thought of her dead, a long time ago.
Aeris.
Cloud couldn't believe what he was seeing. Was it a trick from the lack of Light that played on his kimpalë eyes? Ay, it might be, so he started to rub them, to blink many times, and finally, to close them but after some time, he opened them again, and still he saw Aeris, lying on Ylnmënna floor, dressed on an White Cloak, and as beautiful as ever. He would've just let her there lying on the floor because of his astonishment, but if it wasn't for Iramsy, he might've done that.
"What are you waiting for? Pick her up from there, and bring her here so I can restore her and also, bring the rest of the Gatiok, and make haste!" he did not do anything to Tifa for she needed the rest and to recover from what had been done to her, was beyond his skills. Cloud then turned to look back at Aeris, just to make sure if it was her again, before very slowly, bended down and picked her up and started to carry her over to the Lëzde.
He could feel her soft skin that he last touched when he left her on the lake at the City of the Ancients. He missed her so much, that much that he hadn't dated anyone else. Ay, he still loved her, but he had started to loose hope when she died, thus he started to notice someone else in his life: Tifa. But now that they were back together, nothing was going to break them apart again, was there?
While all of these things passed through his head, Aradia was seeing at the horizon, hoping to see the Follower, and either to capture her or kill her, for she was a threat to all of them if she told Midas of their whereabouts and of their planning. Aradia preferred to capture her, for many reasons, but also to save one of the Lëzdelema, for she was one of few. But soon, she sensed something up ahead, and she immediately got out Eön and many Eönevuil, for she wanted to see if she could hit her or not, and she shooted them all at the same time, and she saw as they disappeared in the Darkness, hoping that she could hit the Follower and also hoping to not hit her. She watched as all of her arrows disappeared in the Darkness.
++The Follower++
She was looking at them far away, probably 50 feet away from where they stood now. She started to start walking towards them but Destiny tricked her, for a stone was on her path, a stone with its own history and way to get to that place. Who knows if it was put there or was moved by the walking of a beast or Essanth or even by a Lëzde in the Nirkara? Only did Destiny know that. Thus she stepped on it and she fell, thus making noise and alerting Aradia. She just in time got up to see Aradia taking out Eön. But all of this passed in a matter of seconds, for the arrows were in front of her now, probably some 6 feet away from her body. But the Lëzdelema were known because of their agility and speed, and she went out of their way and they passed beside her face only to fall to the ground, burying themselves deep, for the strength that was put on them was great.
After all of this happened, she was shocked, full of awe, for she didn't remembered that Aradia was such a good marksman. But from now on she would be more careful, or she would spoil all of Midasa plans and she could be damned to an Eternity of pain and oblivion, out on the Nothingness.
++Aradia++
She felt that she missed. She knew that, for her arrows were somewhat connected with her, thus she could know when she missed and when she did hit her target. She decided to stay in watch for a little longer, until they were ready to leave.
++Cloud++
He reached where Iramsy was kneeling besides Tifa, and he placed Aeris softly one the ground, trying not to wake her up. He gave her one last glance, before going over to take Vincent and Sephiroth over to where everyone was reunited. After some time of struggling with their bodies, he reached a conclusion: They did weigh a lot.
"Great time to notice that," he said to himself. And somehow, a strange miracle happened: his mind worked, thus he created a plan. And that great plan was: to take body by body, for he was taking them both at the same time, therefore, the struggle was even greater and it would take a lot of strength of him just to take the bodies a little closer to the group.
While a something incredible was happening over where Cloud was (the plan), Iramsy was staring at Aeris. He could not believe he would finally see her. He hadn't seen her since the Nirkara, where she was murdered by another Yhiku, a controlled Yhiku that is. But he waited for her at Gaëath, but she did never showed up, and he was sad, for he thought that maybe she had been used to make another body or another living thing, but now he knew that it was not true, and that they could be together as a family as they once did in the First Days.
He then went over to her, and touched the palms of her hands, and he started to pass energy over to her, for that is the way the Yhiku once did in the First Days to pass energy to one that truly needed it, and now, Aeris needed it a lot more than him, for to be trapped in an Ylnho takes more energy than to fight endlessly against Onostë or any of the Fadamta. But he had almost an endless energy inside him, for that is how the Lëzdem are, thus he could now recover all of the Gatiok, and they could leave as soon as possible.
Cloud grabbed Vincent from the feet and started to drag him. He then left him besides Tifa and then he went over to take Sephiroth too. He hesitated for a moment, for he did not trusted him yet, but still, he needed help and Cloud wanted to know also the truth of what has been happening all of these years. He then brought him besides Vincent and he let them there and went over to talk to Iramsy.
Cloud stared at Iramsy as he was looking at Aeris. He found it strange indeed, for he hadn't saw Iramsy to act like that before, in the short time they had met. But Iramsy sensed of what was happening, for a Lëzde could sense all of that that was happening around him, sense, that is, but not see nor hear nor touch. Thus, he asked.
"Yes? What can I do for you, Doëmn?"
"Will you finally tell me what is going on?" asked Cloud.
"Nay." Said Iramsy, but he soon looked the disappointed look on Cloud's face, thus he added. "For they also deserve the explanation, just as you do. Thus, thou must wait, until they get up and I can finally speak to them."
Cloud remained silent. He then turned to look at Aradia who was still looking into the Darkness, as if hypnotized by it. He decided to leave her, for he wanted to know what was going to do Iramsy to the rest of the Gatiok. When he turned to look, Iramsy had already moved up to where Sephiroth and Vincent where, touching both of their foreheads with his hands, and then, out his palms, an onostë-like Light came out and entered their minds and souls and bodies. But as Sephiroth no longer owned a body, thus it just made him stronger, in soul strength that is.
++Aeris++
Even if she was the last one freed from the Ylnho, she was the one in which Iramsy used more energy, for he wanted to speak to her as quickly as possible, thus he used on her a lot more of energy than usual and she woke up from her slumber.
She opened her eyes. 'What had happened?' she asked herself. The last thing she remembered was that she was at Balkëj, praying for Holy until she saw someone standing in front of her, and when she opened them up, she saw no one, for she was at her Qüa-pori and the man that was standing in front of her moved just behind her to trap her on an Ylnho and to flee, for he had ordered Rimesna to kill the body as soon as he could, so that would create only hatred and loathing from Cloud towards Sephiroth, thus making him to go after Sephiroth and their plans could then be fulfilled.
She saw the Darkness again. But not the Darkness from the Ylnho, but a different one, for the one at the Ylnho was void and lacked of sound and movement. But this one was quite different, for she could see and feel some things, like the grass and rocks and air. She then started to get up very slowly and she felt really dizzy, but at the end, she could finally stand up and started to look at her surroundings.
The first thing she saw was Tifa. She was right besides her, but Aeris didn't looked down, thus she stumbled with her, kind of waking her up, and that was bad, for Tifa needed the rest and she was being disturbed. Aeris then apologized under her breath, and was about to shake Tifa to wake up, but some hands stopped her before doing that. She turned to look who had been, and she saw a very familiar face: Iramsy. But as soon as she was about to ask something, someone else hugged her tightly, and she saw that it was Cloud and she was glad, for she finally saw him once again. They kept hugging until someone else woke up.........
++Tifa++
Aeris stumble with her body had made her to woke up from her rest. She was about to scream, for she remembered what had happened before with her little encounter with Midas, thus she was afraid of everything. But as she opened her eyes, she saw Cloud, and she was glad. But as she saw who was he hugging, she felt like crying, for her nightmare had came true, and she did not wanted that to happen, but she was happy for the both of them, for they had finally found each other and they would be happy forever, and that was good, but bad also for her.
She then got up with tears forming in her eyes but she soon cleaned them up with her hand, and she saw that Cloud had noticed that Tifa was up as well, thus he broke the hug, and he went over to where Tifa was, and he hugged her again, for he was worried of what had happened before, and this caught her by surprise, for she thought that he was only going to ask things and to be happy that she was safe, and then he would return over to Aeris and probably kiss her.
The mere thought of that made her to have even more desire to cry. But she resisted and she just returned back the hug and she said to him in the ear.
"Glad to know you're safe."
"Me too." he responded. "I was really worried about you."
"Why? What happened?" she asked.
"You'll find out soon." And he broke the hug and he walked over to where Iramsy was, for he wanted to know what is going on and as everyone else was awake, he decided to ask onece again.
"Nay" Tifa heard the man say. "Haven't thou noticed that Vincent and Sephiroth are still asleep?" at the mentioning of Sephiroth's name, Tifa shrugged and she was afraid. Could it have been true what she had just heard? Sephiroth? Here? Now? He was alive? She needed to know, thus she turned to look and she saw that someone was laid on the ground, still asleep. She walked over to the figure and saw that it was Vincent, but she found it strange that he had not the claw on his hand, but that was not of great importance now. When she turned to look at the other figure, she saw that it was indeed Sephiroth and she was about to scream, but she covered her mouth with her left hand and with her right one she signaled at Sephiroth and she said.
"What is he doing here?!?!" she asked frantically, almost yelling.
"Calm down, Tifa." said Cloud. "Everything's gonna be explained later, right?"he said while turning to look at Iramsy.
"Indeed. Do not be afraid I shall say. And he won't harm thee, for he does not know thee and what thou have done in the past. But be weary, for he will not trust us immediately, for he was hurted and tortured and threatened before being captured in an Ylnho, thus he will try to attack us first, but afraid you must not be!; for his sword I have kept with me since his battle with Midas and Rimesna." Saying this, he showed everyone that he indeed wielded Sephiroth's sword, the Masamune, for he unsheathed it and showed it to everyone. Then he guarded it, but before covering the swords with his Cloak, Cloud noticed that yet another sword did Iramsy had, but from who it was, he would not know until later on, as you will.
++Vincent++
Screaming. Cursing. Hatred. Loathing. Pain. Loss. Emptiness. A huge void within himself. That was what he felt. That was what he always felt since he was trapped in the Ylnho. But he could not stop it, until some minutes ago, and since that he was finally free from all that, and he was glad. But soon, he heard more screaming, and he thought that he would start to feel all of that again, but they weren't the screams he had heard before of women and children, but of a single woman he had not heard to utter a word before. He decided to open his eyes to have a better look at what was happening.
He saw a little group of people in front of him, and they were talking about things of another man. He wasn't really paying attention to what they were speaking about, he was only looking where he was, for he did not remembered a thing since that battle many ages ago.
He then remembered it. The battle, the one thing that would decide his torturing and the one thing he had lost. Many had he suffered and many had he learned from his errors that he would not commit again in life, if he ever would be able to Live again in Gonêm. He then stood up and everyone went quiet, for they didn't expected him to be up by now, for he had been freed at the same time as Sephiroth, thus they all believed that he would get up at the same time or later on. He then asked.
"Who are you?"
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Cloud was about to ask him if he did not remembered them from their journey to save the Planet, but he was soon cut short by Iramsy who started to talk to him in the head.
"Nay, do not tell things he does not holds knowledge about. Just introduce thyself and then let me talk."
Cloud nodded and he stepped forward and said. "My name is Cloud Strife. Pleased to meet ya." Then Tifa turned to look at him and he nodded, and she knew what that meant, that she had to do the same thing and introduce herself.
"Hi! My name is Tifa Lockhart, but everyone just call me Tifa. Nice meeting you!"
When Aeris was about to say Hi, they heard something behind Vincent, and they all saw that Sephiroth was getting up. They could see that he was lost, as if he had been hit by a giant boulder in the head, and he felt as dizzy as being given Loco Weeds to eat all day long. After some minutes of waiting for him to get better, Aradia came back to reunite with the little group just to tell them some news.
"I have devised the Follower in the Darkness. She has been getting closer by each second that passes. We must hurry and leave now, for this is no longer a safe land to be wandering around." She then started to walk towards the North, heading to Usamën, but she was soon interrupted by Aeris.
"Can't you just wait? I don't think he is feeling so well." She said while signaling Sephiroth. Aradia stopped walking, and she went towards where Sephiroth was and she placed a hand in his head and again the Light appeared, but this time it was an amendê like of Light, for it was a kind of energy that recovered thee instantly.
Sephiroth was shocked. It all had stopped, he felt that dizziness no more and he looked up just to see as Aradia was walking towards Iramsy and standing besides him.
Many were the questions that dwelled in everyone's minds. Who are these people? What am I doing here? How did I get here? How much time had passed since the battle? But now, Cloud did not waited for Iramsy to tell him to speak, but he asked immediately, for patience, is not a virtue everyone back then had.
"Can you tell us what the hell is happening here?!" he mild yelled, for he knew from nature that thou must not raise thy voice to any of the Lëzdem.
They all turned to look at Iramsy. They were waiting for an answer, but they were hoping he would say 'Yes' for they desired to know everything that has been going on of which they knew almost nothing about, except for some names that had been uttered before. Iramsy took a deep breath and spoke.
"You wish the truth." And he remained silent for a long time, for he was asking Aradia for advice, as he had done once in the Nirkara, but finally, she agreed and he finally said. "Very well, I shall give it to thee, but we must leave this place now, for it is not a safe land to wander." and he started to walk to the north, for that is where almost none of the Humans had a dream of, thus it was the safer land in the whole surface of Attem.
Aradia followed instantly, and so did Sephiroth and Vincent, for they were the ones more confused in the little group. Cloud, Tifa, and Aeris followed afterwards, for they knew each other and they knew that they were safe if they were together, but they didn't wanted to be left alone, for many dangers lurked behind them, as well as the Follower.
Thus they all walked north, towards the coast of Usamën, for that is that is the name the Essanth gave to the Land of the North. They were heading there not only for the safety, but for finding more aid against their future fight with Midas.

"Nay" Tifa heard the man say. "Haven't thou noticed that Vincent and Sephiroth are still asleep?" at the mentioning of Sephiroth's name, Tifa shrugged and she was afraid. Could it have been true what she had just heard? Sephiroth? Here? Now? He was alive? She needed to know, thus she turned to look and she saw that someone was laid on the ground, still asleep. She walked over to the figure and saw that it was Vincent, but she found it strange that he had not the claw on his hand, but that was not of great importance now.

++Vincent++
Screaming. Cursing. Hatred. Loathing. Pain. Loss. Emptiness. A huge void within himself. That was what he felt. That was what he always felt since he was trapped in the Ylnho. But he could not stop it, until some minutes ago, and since that he was finally free from all that, and he was glad. But soon, he heard more screaming, and he thought that he would start to feel all of that again, but they weren't the screams he had heard before of women and children, but of a single woman he had not heard to utter a word before. He decided to open his eyes to have a better look at what was happening.
He saw a little group of people in front of him, and they were talking about things of another man. He wasn't really paying attention to what they were speaking about, he was only looking where he was, for he did not remembered a thing since that battle many ages ago.
He then remembered it. The battle, the one thing that would decide his torturing and the one thing he had lost. Many had he suffered and many had he learned from his errors that he would not commit again in life, if he ever would be able to Live again in Gonêm. He then stood up and everyone went quiet, for they didn't expected him to be up by now, for he had been freed at the same time as Sephiroth, thus they all believed that he would get up at the same time or later on. He then asked.
"Who are you?"
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Cloud was about to ask him if he did not remembered them from their journey to save the Planet, but he was soon cut short by Iramsy who started to talk to him in the head.
"Nay, do not tell things he does not holds knowledge about. Just introduce thyself and then let me talk."
Cloud nodded and he stepped forward and said. "My name is Cloud Strife. Pleased to meet ya." Then Tifa turned to look at him and he nodded, and she knew what that meant, that she had to do the same thing and introduce herself.
"Hi! My name is Tifa Lockhart, but everyone just call me Tifa. Nice meeting you!"
When Aeris was about to say Hi, they heard something behind Vincent, and they all saw that Sephiroth was getting up. They could see that he was lost, as if he had been hit by a giant boulder in the head, and he felt as dizzy as being given Loco Weeds to eat all day long. After some minutes of waiting for him to get better, Aradia came back to reunite with the little group just to tell them some news.
"I have devised the Follower in the Darkness. She has been getting closer by each second that passes. We must hurry and leave now, for this is no longer a safe land to be wandering around." She then started to walk towards the North, heading to Usamën, but she was soon interrupted by Aeris.
"Can't you just wait? I don't think he is feeling so well." She said while signaling Sephiroth. Aradia stopped walking, and she went towards where Sephiroth was and she placed a hand in his head and again the Light appeared, but this time it was an amendê like of Light, for it was a kind of energy that recovered thee instantly.
Sephiroth was shocked. It all had stopped, he felt that dizziness no more and he looked up just to see as Aradia was walking towards Iramsy and standing besides him.
Many were the questions that dwelled in everyone's minds. Who are these people? What am I doing here? How did I get here? How much time had passed since the battle? But now, Cloud did not waited for Iramsy to tell him to speak, but he asked immediately, for patience, is not a virtue everyone back then had.
"Can you tell us what the hell is happening here?!" he mild yelled, for he knew from nature that thou must not raise thy voice to any of the Lëzdem.
They all turned to look at Iramsy. They were waiting for an answer, but they were hoping he would say 'Yes' for they desired to know everything that has been going on of which they knew almost nothing about, except for some names that had been uttered before. Iramsy took a deep breath and spoke.
"You wish the truth." And he remained silent for a long time, for he was asking Aradia for advice, as he had done once in the Nirkara, but finally, she agreed and he finally said. "Very well, I shall give it to thee, but we must leave this place now, for it is not a safe land to wander." and he started to walk to the north, for that is where almost none of the Humans had a dream of, thus it was the safer land in the whole surface of Attem.
Aradia followed instantly, and so did Sephiroth and Vincent, for they were the ones more confused in the little group. Cloud, Tifa, and Aeris followed afterwards, for they knew each other and they knew that they were safe if they were together, but they didn't wanted to be left alone, for many dangers lurked behind them, as well as the Follower.
Thus they all walked north, towards the coast of Usamën, for that is that is the name the Essanth gave to the Land of the North. They were heading there not only for the safety, but for finding more aid against their future fight with Midas.
