Aerith walked down the streets of the run down, broken looking city. She was confused, it wasn’t anything like she remembered. She looked around and people were looking at her oddly. She only smiled. Her pink dress blew in the light breeze as well as her long braided light brown hair.
Aerith continued to wander, just looking at everything. When a young girl ran up to her and stared, Aerith just smiled. She knew that the people had recognized her, she just wondered why they were looking at her oddly. Aerith wondered where Cloud and her friends would be. Aerith stopped when she reached an all to familiar chapel. The young brunette girl looked at it and smiled. She stepped inside.
Aerith wandered up to the field of flowers that laid in the middle on the ground, and there was also a pool of water. She bent down and picked one. Smiling she brought iit up to her nose and she smelled it. It was wonderful in here, peaceful.

Fate was a funny thing sometimes. It often brought people to different places or had them cross paths with new people. It had dealt Terra a cruel hand the first time, but perhaps the fact he had shown up here out of all places was a sign just..maybe things were about to change for the better. Booted feet thud loudly inside the run down chapel as Terra walked in, the sound of his footsteps echoing throughout the seemingly large chapel.
The first thing Terra noticed was that this entire area was in shambles, and that the sky was blocked off entirely. Was this area just full of the lower class...or was it ignored by it's own government? Terra wasn't sure, but he wanted to find out...after he found Aqua and Ventus at first. Just the thought of them sent waves of guilt straight into his heart. I It was his fault everything had happened. He had succumbed to darkness...which allowed Xehanort to possess him...
Sighing as he tried to force the memory out of his mind, Terra would reach into his pocket and pull out the Wayfinder Aqua had made for him, increasing the guilt he was feeling by a lot. "Aqua....Ven....I'm...I'm so sorry....I hope you guys can forgive me...." The Keyblade Wielder had a lot on his mind...and well, it was distracting him somewhat. He didn't notice the other person in the chapel with him, and well...nor did he notice the group of flowers growing in the middle, his boot hovering slightly above them...

Aeris had noticed the young man who had entered the chapel, and yet he seemed to not notice her. That was fine, people could come here to be alone, to think, like she had been here. Aeris held the flower and listened to the young man as he spoke. It was odd to her. He somehow sounded like Cloud. She turned her head and stared at him. He was about to step on the flowers.
“excuse me, I couldn’t help but listen to your wishes.” The brunette said, standing up, standing on the wood. The flower was still in her hands and she smiled warmly. “I’m sure they forgive you, who ever they are. Everyone deserves forgiveness, no matter how bad the deed.” She continued to smile to him. The brunette looked to the side and stared at the flowers before her. She couldn’t imagine anything less beautiful than that. This is what the planet deserved, nothing less.
Aeris's mind wandered as she started thinking about her friends again. She just wished she knew where to begin to look for them, and knew that this could have been the first place. She looked at the entrance of the chapel and she wished that they would all just walk right through that door, them or the people that this young man had been wishing for forgiveness from. Thats what the people of Midgar needed, hope, light, and faith.

Terra was immediately snapped out of his thoughts as he heard the voice of another, which caused him to notice the flowers beneath his foot. Since they appeared to be rare in this area, Terra backed off, casting Aerith an apologetic look. "I'm...sorry Miss, I didn't see you there...and sorry about almost stepping on your flowers.. They were beautiful flowers at that too. His gaze lingered upon her for a moment, eyes growing wide as he sensed the powerful light residing within her. Of course, it wasn't strong enough to make her a Princess of Heart, but it was still a powerful light indeed.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't deserve it...." Terra would say sadly. "I've brought about too much pain and sadness. Too much ruin and darkness. I...I don't think they can forgive me for this one.. It was true, too many worlds had suffered because he had failed to prevent Master Xehanort from possessing his body.
Blinking as he nearly forgot his manners here, Terra's arms would be placed straight at his sides as he bowed slightly at the waist. "My name is Terra...and your kind words mean a lot to me."

Aeris looked at him as he apologized for almost stepping on her flowers. She shook her head. He didn’t have to apologize. The flowers here were special, because of the life stream flowing below it. The Cetra looked at the young man again after staring at the flowers below them. “these flowers.” she paused, in her calm and quiet like voice. “they are blooming from the life stream, it shows that Shin-Ra’s waste hasn’t ruined all of Midgar.” Aeris finished.
Aeris shook her head. She looked at him and smiled. “everyone deserves forgiveness.” she said again. “its because you have realized what you have done is wrong and have returned to the light, that’s the good thing. That doesn’t matter what your friends say. It matters what your heart says.” Aeris nodded. She thought that may be the correct thing to say. He realized what he had done was wrong. “maybe you don’t need them to forgive you,” Aeris paused. “maybe you need to forgive your self.” Aeris finished.
This had reminded her of Cloud. He wanted her forgiveness, her forgiveness because he had come to late. She didn’t think that she was right to forgive him. She wanted him to forgive himself.
“its nice to meet you, Terra.” Aerith smiled, nodding. “I’m Aeris Gainsborough.” she introduced herself, moving the long brunette braid off of her shoulder and felt it fall and hit against her back. |

Lifestream? Shin-Ra? Terra had no idea what those were, or how they affected this world, but he was definitely interested. And Aerith seemed kind..like she could find the goodness inside anyone and forgive them easily. It was something Terra just wasn't used to.
"It is nice to meet you Aerith." Terra says calmly after he straightens himself out. He wanted to know more about this world...but first things first, he wanted to know if Aqua and Ventus had shown up on this world at all. "I don't know if I can forgive myself...or if I even know how to..." he would start, but then decide that was enough of the pity party. "Hey Aerith...have you seen one or both of these people? They're dressed kind of like me and their names are Aqua and Ventus..who goes by Ven."
Terra's right arm would move to demonstrate Ventus' height, followed by a description of Roxas save for the clothing. "He's dressed kind of like me...and Aqua is a woman who has blue hair, also dressed sort of like me.." Of course, Terra would give her a chance to answer before he would ask her about this world. The Lifestream and Shin-Ra were definitely something he wanted to hear about, of course, he would help if he could..but if it involved stopping Shin-Ra, he wouldn't be able to help. It was forbidden to interfere in the affairs of other worlds.

Aeris smiled to him. She had gotten back down on one knee and she place the flower she had picked back down. She smiled and looked around some more. The sun had been flooding the church, which made everything feel more welcoming. She looked at the brokenness of the church, the broken class and benches and everything else. She had stood up again and she silently moved to the pool of water from the life stream she had called upon.
“that is something that you need to figure out for yourself, just as Cloud did.” she smiled to him. She knew that Cloud probably still felt guilty. She knew that is why she had to find him, she had to find him so that she could show him that it was okay. She also knew that she probably wouldn’t be like this for long and would return to the planet, to the life stream.
Aeris’s attention was turned to Terra again when he started describing his friends. “I apologize, but I haven’t. I have only arrived here today.” Aeris stated truthfully. |
