Aerith's hair stood on end. It was like hearing about someone surviving a fight with the monster in the closet, or being left with marks around their ankle from the creature that lives under the bed. She knew Weapon existed, but it was an old tale and an older power. It wasn't something that she'd ever expected to hear someone had seen.
When they'd come through she'd felt the shock, the shiver that ran through the lifestream. For a split second the gate had opened, just long enough to let a little Chaos in, in the form of a handful of Ryoka. The planet must have woken the Weapons in response.
Or was it something else? She'd been too close when Midgar had happened to know if it had been felt worldwide, but she didn't doubt the planet knew what had happened. A million lives didn't just disappear like that, cut off from the lifestream, erased from existence. Perhaps that was what had prompted them to stir?
She clasped her hands, tightly. "It must have thought you were a threat." In which case, he was lucky to be alive. Aerith looked Ienzo in the eyes, her head tilting as she asked, "What book?"
