Chapter VIII
After a nice relaxing day at the beach of Costa Del Sol, Aeris was still thinking of only one thing, Cloud. Should I wait for him? She decided that it would be best to stay here for awhile. Aeris was more beutiful than ever after a whole day in the sun. Her skin was beutifully tanned. She looked utterly breathtaking. Calling it a day, she said good nite to Wallace and went back to her room and took a long hot shower before she went to bed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud Strife was a good 4 hours away from Costa Del Sol when his phone rang again.
"Hello." he said. It was Tifa.
"Hey." a shrill voice said. "So how is your little quest going? Good I hope?"
"Tifa...please. You, more than anybody probably think I'm crazy but this is something that I have to do. I have to know the truth. I believe that in some way Aeris is back on this planet."
"Well...did you find her?"
"No."
"Cloud, I'm just calling to say that I'm sorry for being so mean to you these past couple months, I mean, you were my best freind and I never get to see you anymore."
"Those memories you have of me are not even real Tifa."
"They were for me."
"Listen, I've gotta go." said Cloud.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm not sure yet."
"Cloud..."
"Yea?"
"I hope you do find her."
"Thank you. Good bye."
"Bye." They both hung up their phones. "For your sake at least..." said Tifa.
That was awkward, Cloud thought to himself. He lit up a cigarette and stopped his boat. The dark blue ocean overwhelmed Cloud. It completely surrounded him and seemed endless. Cloud looked up to the moonlit sky and saw a shooting star. His mako-filled eyes followed it. It was as if it was guiding him back...back to Costa Del Sol.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aeris lay sideways in bed with her hands under her pillow. The cool sound of the wind from her open window spreading acroos the ocean blissfully led her into sleep. In her sleep she was not alone. She was with her mother. Her mother had come to her often in her dreams before, such is the way of the Cetra. Aeris needed her now more than ever. She was full of questions and wanted answers.
"Mom, I have so many questions to ask."
"I know, I will tell you everything Aeris, all you have to do is tell me that you are ready for the truth."
"Truth? Yes I am! Just please tell me how I am here!"
"Aeris, you were allowed to come back because you are our only hope. You are our savior."
"What? I don't understand at all."
"Aeris, your fate was determined a long time ago, before you were even born. When there were more of us, before we were all hunted down, I was entrusted with a task for our people. To bear a child who would clense the planet of the calamity from the skies and who would ensure that our race survived. Knowing that our time was short, the other Cetra sacrificed themselves for me, so that I would survive to bear a child for this task. That child is you Aeris."
"Was me being killed part of the plan."
"You were not killed Aeris, your death was only temporary, the materia that you carried with you all of your life served two purposes. To defeat meteor and bring you back. The materia satyed in the sacred City and when the time was right it brought you back."
"This is too much for me to handle. All of this..."
"I know Aeris. I know you have lived a tough life but all of that is gone now. The world is now safe because of you. I knew that I would die but I also knew that you would be strong enough to do it."
"But I didn't do anything!"
"You did everything. You have to understand that our people took the Cetra prophicies very seriously and you are one of them. You never learned any of them because you were the only one left. There was nobody left to educate you in the ways of the Cetra."
"You could have told me." said Aeris.
"Would you really have wanted me to tell you."
A wave of understanding hit Aeris. "No."
"This all has to be daunting for you I know. You were all we had left though. If I never had a child than our entire race and history would be lost forever. The Cetra would not be the only thing lost though, the very planet itself. All life as you know it would have ceased to exist. This must sound outrageous but it is all true."
Even in the midst of what her mother was telling her Aeris understood. Her whole life she knew she was special. She knew she was an Ancient but she always knew that there was something more. "So why am I here now? Whats next?"
"That is up to you Aeris. I have to go now though, ok?"
"Ok, I understand."
"When you wake up though, I think you will have a very good idea of whats next though. Good bye, I love you Aeris."
"I love you to mom."

Cloud was only a couple miles away from Costa Del Sol. He got to the port in fifteen minutes. He arrived at 3:30 in the morning. Fashonably late, as always. He thought to himself. He noticed nothing different about the place. No Aeris in sight. Greef-stricken, he went to his home. As he approached the door he saw a note on it. He frantically tore if off the door and read it:
Cloud,
There was a man in the bar today asking about you, he is staying at the hotel and really wanted to see you. Never seen him before. When you get this you should see him.
-Aimee
The note was from the bartendar. The desk at the hotel was closed. Who the hell was she talking about? Cloud decided to sneak around the bottom floor of the hotel and peak through the windows. The first three revealed nothing out of the ordinary but the fourth window though was rather intersting. From the window he could see someone laying on the bed...someone with long chestnut hair...It can't be! He thought. Very silently he climbed through the open window and approached the bed...

Author's comments: Well, well , well, guess whos back! (Me) I just want to start off by saying that I am sorry for the incomprable delay but I just didn't feel like writing anymore. I truly am sorry and I just hope that everyone who was around for the beginning will come back somehow for the ending (which will be soon). There will only be a few more chapters left and I should have the story finished very soon. Again, I am sorry for the delay and I want to thank everyone who reads and takes the time to review. I opened up my email today and got an alert of a new review which inspired me to finally continue the story. This was a very important chapter for me, as it explains how and why Aeris is back. I had a much more detailed description of the Cetra prophecy in my head but I wanted to shorten it so that I could come closer to finally reuniting the two Soul Mates! I really wanna know what people think about this chapter though so please post reviews. Thanks as always ans I PROMISE you I will finish the story very soon.
