You damnable, Cetra witch! I have existed before the dawn of CREATION! I watched as the mighty of US were commanded to bow to you lowly creatures, made of nothing but clay. I was made from the very elements of the universe! I was made pure and praised as the HIGHEST! I refused to acknowledge the superiority of you WEAK creatures, so fragile and naïve! You could not even begin to COMPREHEND the vast workings of the universe or your existence and yet you STRUGGLE onwards. It's pathetic. I have SEEN the Paradise of Heaven! Looked upon the CREATOR'S face! I was MOST BELOVED! I was MOST PRAISED! And I gladly FELL from GRACE! I will prove the WORTHLESSNESS of your kind to ALL of HEAVEN! So, leave him be! He is MINE! He shall be my VESSEL
Aeris looked up from her flowerbed in the abandoned church, straight up as if she could see past the Heavens. Her skin crawled from the loathsomeness of its voice and her head pounded from the unwanted invasion of her mind. The Planet had shown her the future and she saw the multitude of galaxies yet to be discovered go up into flames. The destruction of all… the destruction of a number so immense that it could not be counted – but it was her duty to stop it.
She parted her lips, and whispered breathlessly, "Planet…"
It immediately responded to her, sending a surge energy through the young, half-Cetra's body. Aeris' body hit the floor, unable to move by the violent rush of power. The Planet yelled, angry by the disgusting presence infecting its child.
[DISEASE! FILTH! PUTRID! LEAVE!
Daughters of Earth and Sons of God…
[ADBOMINATION! DEFILE. SACRED! PUNISHMENT!
I defiled nothing! It is your children who defiled what is sacred, cutting US off from GLORY!
[PRIDE. SIN. DOWNFALL.
My will be done!
The Planet's limit had been pushed. Though weakened, it screamed out loudly, its shrill reverberating dangerously loud inside of Aeris' head. The poor girl screamed. She pressed her hands against her ears, futilely hoping to drown out the argument. Aeris' didn't understand it, any of it, but all she knew is that she wanted it to stop. The Planet's screams combined with that monstrous voice was too much for the girl to bear.
The Planet realized Aeris' pain but IT could not be allowed to fester inside her daughter's head. No, no…
It sent a comforting wave of energy across the girl but knew it would not help. The Planet called upon invisible forces of the Cetra. The two entities combined their power and forced the DISEASED from Aeris' body. The girl's screams were horrible – so horrible, so full of pain.
And as quickly as it manifested itself in Aeris, the THING was gone. The Planet retreated, leaving nothing but waves of apologies and comfort.
Aside from the blood that trickled down Aeris' ears and dripped slowly to the ground, there was absolute silence. Aeris lay curled into the fetal position, her entire body wracked with unimaginable pain, tears leaking from her eyes. "I never asked for any of this…"
