Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I feel so safe with you, Zack."

Aerith Fair

"I have twenty-three tiny wishes,
but you probably won't remember them all,
so I put them all together into one.
..I'd like to spend more time with you"

Aerith was just getting ready to leave the church, after tending to her flowers for the day, she slowly stood up and started to walk down the isle to leave, when two figures suddenly walked inside. A smile quickly spreading on the young Cetra's features as she looked to her friends. But, that smile soon faded when she felt the distress both were in. "What's wrong??" She looked to Cloud as he spoke about Tifa having something like...Geostigma. She frowned at that, sighing softly. "Oh no..How is that possible?? It shouldn't exist anymore!" She herself was quite worried about this, would it have the same affect to her now? She motioned with her hand for the two to follow her, as she lead them to the back room where another pool of water was. There were two in the room, one of which was occupied by Sixx. Still...If that boy didn't wake up soon, she would have to try and destroy that barrier protecting him just to get to him...

Leading them to the other pool of water, she made a motion for Tifa to go inside. "I pray this will work like it did during that time.."

"I'll come back..when it's all over.."

(( OOC: Not sure if Sixx is still there, thinking he is. o.o ))

The door to the church was pushed open slightly, a brown-haired young man sticking his head into the church. The man looked like he was in his early teens, likely fifteen or sixteen at best. This didn't fit the age or hidden sorrow in his eyes, stretching out into the distances that those who had loved and lost achieved. Somehow, though, this vast distance and underlying sorrow was well concealed by a mental barrier. "Hello?" The man asked, stepping inside the church and looking around as he went. "Is anyone in here?" He asked as he started to walk down the aisle's, glancing around again. Nobody was in the main lobby that he could see, so he took a seat at a front pew, bending his head down to think, and pray silently, idly wondering if the preist was here.

{ T } ifa thought back. "Think I always had had it, I just never saw it until last night." she paused, and paddled over to them. She rested her head on her arms on the edge of the pool. "I kept having all of these bad headaches, but I guess they were only attacks. They seemed to be really bad when I remembered stuff." Cloud on the other hand was kneeling by the pool. "Do you think your wound was infected with Jenova cells and the lifestream when Kadaj attacked you in the northern crater?" he said, worried that this wouldn't work. His mind was reeling, trying to think of how he could fix this. Tifa's eyes started to well up with tears when she saw Cloud so worried for her. "But Cloud, you know, this water does seem to make the pain go away." she said, trying to prevent him from falling apart. Cloud wiped away one of her tears. "Well at least that's something." he said, a little half heartedly. He held back his emotions, he had to be strong for Tifa. "Don't worry, we'll find a cure, Tifa." he said as he let his hand drop from her face.

"I feel so safe with you, Zack."

Aerith Fair

"I have twenty-three tiny wishes,
but you probably won't remember them all,
so I put them all together into one.
..I'd like to spend more time with you"

Aerith listened to Tifa speak, trying to gather everything that might be the cause of this. She knew Jenova was alive,so there was a good chance that somehow she infected her when she was attacked that day. And when she came back to life, that wound,or infection still somehow remained with her. "It may take a short time ,but like Cloud said..We will find a cure..No matter what.." She said softly from where she stood,just low enough for them to hear. Then she turned back to the man as he suddenly spoke again. The cetra shook her head softly at his question, and quickly assumed by his question and attire that he wasn't from here, or from this world. Her reaction towards his clothing wasn't much, since she had seen so many different attires of the many people that had been coming to this world.

"There is no priest here, but I stay here and care for the garden here. " She gestured to the flowers. "I'm sorry. There was a man whom came here once, he called himself a priest, but this church here is....well..special, different from others. It holds no services, though people still are always welcome to come and pray. I love it here, it is still a most holy building, no matter what. "

"I'll come back..when it's all over.."

(( OOC: ))

The man blinked, looking towards the flowers for a moment. That explained why flowers were growing here, at least. But, no preist. He kept looking at the flowers for a moment to cover his internal struggle over his emotional mask. Then he looked back towards the woman. "Thank you for telling me, miss." He said, sitting down again slowly. He heard voices in the back section of the church, but figured it wasn't his business to interfere. He looked up towards the skylight and the small beams of sunlight coming through it, outlined in dust, his mask slipping away as his mind slipped into just a short time ago, just before he had found himself in some grassy meadow in front of a odd structure. Under the mask, the sorrow in his eyes was plain, as well as the age his soul had felt. Even though he was only fifteen in body, he had gone through much more. This showed itself with a distance in his eyes, especially when he reflected into the past. He only subconsciously registered the entrance of two others from the back room to another of the pews.

Lavan heard what Aerith said, pulling himself back to the present with some effort. He looked at her for a moment as the wall seemed to go over his eyes again, blocking off the distance of his experience and emotions as he ran over the last thirty seconds of conversation. "I'm Lavan." He said as an introduction before shaking his head softly. "Unless you know how to go back in time or revive the dead, I don't think so." He said, but paused a moment as a thought struck. "Except, could you please tell me where I am?" He asked, glancing towards the door that lead outside. "I'm afraid I arrived rather suddenly."

"I'm a Ronso-Human hybrid... I wasn't even supposed to exist."

"Born of Jenova cells, Mako and Dark Materia, I came into existence."

One wanting to protect... the other wanting to destroy...
Can two such different entities exist in one body?

Her wondering from the restaurant brought her to the Midgar church, one that she had only heard about but never seen. But she hadn't mean to come here; she was trying to keep the tears away as she continued to feel Kade's pain at the fact that both Cloud and Tifa had told him that they needed time to think about it... Think about what, exactly? Why should it matter of how Kade was brought into the world?? He was still their son, even if he had been pulled from Tifa as a fetus and had been brought up in the Shin-Ra labs. Why did things have to be so stupidly complicated? But she kept forgetting that no one else thought like a ronso... Ronso kept their lives in a traditional manner. They accept the truth, but if the truth was something that had broken code, they were taken cared of.

Like when her parents were killed for loving each other.

Sighing a little, she entered the church at a slow pace, her hands holding onto her arms. She would return to the mansion soon, but she wanted to get control over herself first. Kade had enough to deal with his own emotions... she could tell that his anger and sadness were blocking out her own from him, which was fine for her at the moment.

'Most of these problems lead back to Shin-Ra and its cursed need to cause these pain to people for their own satisfaction,' she thought bitterly. But her own ache came from the fact that Kade, Cloud, Tifa and Shikyo all did have something; they were family, regardless that they were having a hard time accepting this. And they had hope of getting to know each other and learning to love and trust. She had nothing, and she learned that there was no point in getting buried in what she lost. It just hurt that they couldn't see that they had something that was precious...

Another stupid tear rolled down her cheek, and she angrily rubbed it off her skin. Why couldn't she get control over herself? Walking on down the aisle, she came to the edge of the water that she had heard about so much. It didn't look extraordinary.. but it still had the feel that there was something about it. Kneeling down onto her knees, she lightly pulled off a glove and dipped her fingers into the water. It was pleasantly cool to the touch... but two seconds that she touched it, it burned her suddenly, and she stifled a yelp as she pulled away. That wasn't supposed to be normal, was it..? 'My blood is just too tainted to heal...' she thought sadly.

"Light is not mean't to harm, but to protect...
Even if it's an enemy, it will not harm. But it will defend you from that enemy..." 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Earth, Water and Ice are parts of true Light...
They only create, but never destroy..."

Valencia was silent most of the time as Aerith spoke to her friends, and befriended others. She then stood up and was preparing to head off when a voice in her head spoke out. "Valencia." She looked around for a moment and recognized the voice. "Shinyaki?" She said out loud then she hesitated hoping no one heard her. The voice spoke again. "Yes... I need you to meet me near Order's Sanctuary, I wanted to speak with you about recent events." Valencia nodded and started to walk off. She felt bad about leaving without saying good bye and thank you to Aerith for the flowers and the offering of a place to stay. "Don't worry... You'll meet up with them again." Valencia nodded again then kept walking until she was out from under the upper plate of the city. She searched her surroundings incase people were watching her, when it was clear she took a deep breath. Then a pair of white angel wings appeared on her back and they glowed a faint light. She then took a leap into the air and took of like a white shooting star into the sky.
