Chapter 3
"The one called Cloud Strife killed you. He also killed Jenova." Aeris said. The man nodded. "Or so he thought. You may have died, but Jenova can come back, even if only an atom of her is left. Her body was made to regenerate from almost nothing."
"And so now she is back, and still alive." He said.
The Cetra nodded. "She doesn't have her eyes set on stealing energy from the Planet anymore… well… while AVALANCHE is still around, anyway. She now is looking back at her first target… the Cetra."
The nameless one spluttered, now he was extremely confused. "I remember Jenova was telling me that we were the only Cetra left on the Planet!"
Aeris shook her head. "She lied. She was only using you. She wanted you to destroy the Planet for her. Then she could take the energy for herself. She would have gotten rid of you afterwards."
He was confused yet again. "I don't remember why, but I wanted to listen to her… it was almost as if I had to."
"That is for you to figure out." Aeris said. Then she started again. "I am a Cetra, and I was the last of my kind. When you killed me, there were no more Cetra to defend the Planet. Even though we are dead to the Planet, we are alive in the Promised Land."
The man's eyes snapped up. He felt scalded. Jenova wanted to get to the Promised Land. "So this is the Promised Land?" the man asked.
Aeris shook her head. "This is not the Promised Land, it is the Lifestream. I wasn't sure if you are allowed in the Promised Land."
"After what I did." The man felt guilty. He thought back to Nibelheim.
Suddenly, another thought hit him. "Wait! If she's coming for the Cetra… then she's heading for the Promised Land!" The silver-haired man looked alarmed, suddenly figuring it all out.
Aeris nodded slowly. "Very good. I knew you would almost be able to figure it out. You are very close."
"Only very close?"
"She's in the Promised Land."
