Chapter 2- The Plan

Aerith watched the bonfire from the balcony of the dining hall. She felt very uneasy about this idea, for she knew that a mere bonfire won't stop Sephiroth from fulfilling his prophecy. "Oooh, nut bunnies…" she fumed as she turned away from the fire and walked towards Cloud and Tifa, who were sitting at a nearby table.

Flicking her wand in the air, Tifa made a teapot and three teacups appear. "Come on Aerith, have a cup of tea, I'm sure everything will work out alright" being the optimistic one of the group, Tifa was bound to say that. She handed Aerith a cup as well as Cloud, who flicked his own wand in the air and materialized a biscuit and dipped it into his tea. Taking a bite out of it he said, "Well a bonfire won't stop Sephiroth" taking a sip from his cup. "Oooh! Sephiroth has gone too far this time!" Aerith mused angrily, careful not to spill her tea. Cloud nodded in agreement, "I'd like to turn him into a fat, old toad…" he muttered, that earned him a slap on the knee from Tifa. "Now Cloud, that isn't very nice," Aerith then spoke," Besides we can't, you know our magic doesn't work that way Spiky," she tapped Cloud on the nose with her finger. "Our magic can only do good, and bring happiness to others" Tifa finished, smiling at the blonde male. Cloud rolled his eyes and responded, "Well, THAT will make me happy…" that earned him another slap on the knee from Tifa.

"Hold on!" Aerith suddenly exclaimed, making the other to jump a little. "If it involves me in a drag-FORGET IT." Cloud immediately responded, narrowing his eyes at the pink-clad fairy. Aerith's face fell at little from the response, but quickly brightened as she continued, "I have a great idea!", "Really? What is it?" Tifa asked as she and Cloud leaned forward to hear what Aerith had to say.

"I'm going to-" Aerith suddenly cut herself off, and glanced around the room quickly. "What's wrong?" Cloud asked, Aerith placed a finger to her lips. "Shhh…even walls have ears…" she said in a hushed voice.

After finding a decent place to talk privately, Aerith explained the plan she had to Cloud and Tifa.

For the plan was to take Prince Vincent, and raise him in deep in the woods in the old abandoned wood cutter's cottage, up until his 21st birthday. It was a way to protect him from Sephiroth hands and to prevent his prophecy from happening. But, in order to carry out the plan, they have to cut off all ties with the kingdom and convince King Grimore to go through with the plan. Also, they have to give up using magic for the next 21 years (though Cloud was a little reluctant with that idea) in order to raise Vincent as a normal boy. After agreeing with the plan, the trio went off to tell King Grimore.

Although he was hesitant, King Grimore agreed to let the three fairies raise his son for the next 21 years. Later on that night, when the whole castle was asleep, except for King Grimore and Queen Rowena, the three fairies quietly snuck oout of the castle.

So King Grimore and his queen, watched with heavy hearts, as their most prized possession, their only child…disappear into the night.
