"You can never survive without me." Arathia moved her tentacle around me.

She comes very close to me. I let out a breath. 

"What are you exactly?" Aerith asked.

Arathia looked at Aerith.

"I am what I am. I am a God some say. I am gold." She said.

She pulls me close to her. 

"Where's my thanks?" She asked. 

I had no choice. I didn't care if people were staring. I move my arm up her back. She presses her face into mine. She wraps her hands around me. Tifa pushes me off. She gets in front of me.

"Tifa-" I start.

"Lady, he doesn't love you! So go back home and stop doing this to him." Tifa said.

Arathia looked at her and let out a laugh. She pushes her aside like she was made of paper. She moves her hands around me.

"Oh I am aware. However, we made a deal Cloud. Do not forget what you did to me all those years ago. Do not forget what happened last time you strayed from our path." She smiled.

She walked back into the water. She went into the water. I help Tifa up.

"Alright Cloud. Give us some answers." She said. 

I let out a sigh. I know I don't have a choice. Might as well get this off my chest.

"Eight years ago. I killed her son." I answer.
