cetralegacy​:

“Nice to meet you.” She’s still listening, it seems. “It could have been, yes. They’re sad, but with the right help and time, this can be reborn.” She nodded at Aspen’s question. “I can hear them, yes. It’s the nature of who I am. Where I come from I’m called a Cetra. The common folk use the word ‘Ancient’ to describe us because we come from an ‘ancient’ race of people. Anyway, we can hear the voices of the planet. Living things, like what was once here.”

“It gets a little overwhelming sometimes-their voices can be very loud. They’re not so loud here, though.”

“That… that’s amazing.”

Carefully, Aspen knelt down to continue growing the plant she’d started with her magic earlier. 

“I really hope everything can regrow soon. I just… wanted to do what I could to help. I know I can’t restore the entire forest on my own. My magic isn’t strong enough. But… even a little helps, right?”

[cetralegacy]

“It will in time.” She frowned in thought, then nodded. “I’ve only met one other so far that can do what you do, and she’s Cetra, like me. As for the small things, big things come from small things. And you cared enough to do what you could, which is more than many would do. The forest hears you, and it thanks you.”

[eclipseoflight]

“Oh no...”

Seems the area Aspen had been walking past had experienced a forest fire only a couple days ago. Everywhere she looked showed charred remains of what had once been a lush, green home for so many.

“The poor critters. And all the plants.” Slowly, the dryad knelt down, and a soft green glow seemed to spread across her hands. It took a while, but eventually, a small sprout began to emerge from the soil.

“There. Just a little more, and-”

A loud noise from behind her made her jump, and she quickly turned.

“W-who’s there?!”

[cetralegacy]

A loud noise from behind her made her jump, and she quickly turned.

“W-who’s there?!”

[cetralegacy]

“Sorry about that.” Sita emerged from the shadows, and walked forward before kneeling down near where the newfound sprout had emerged. “I didn’t mean to scare you. I’m Sita.” She frowned in thought, and rubbed her head for a moment before touching the soil with her other hand.

“It seems a careless accident destroyed it. People are either careless or thoughtless these days...” Her voice trailed off, and she frowned in thought. “Their voices are still here. They say thank you for caring enough. I would help, but unfortunately my abilities do not extend to growing plants.”

[cetralegacy]

The city of the ancients

It might not be a realistic headcanon, but I like the idea that after the planet is saved from Sephiroth, it begins healing and a lot of the monsters and Bad Things in the City of the Ancients start disappearing. Sita convinces some of the Avalanche members and other like-minded planet-supporting people to help clear out the rest. Eventually people are actually able to settle there again, though they’re all people like the Avalanche members who care about the planet.

Even the Cetra ghosts settle down and start to remember who they were, and start appearing offering shop services or just telling stories to people. Some Cetra are even reborn. 

And of course precautions are taken to ensure that the city doesn’t fall to disaster, invasion, or other Bad Things again. We’re looking at you, Shinra.

From one to another

@floralcetra

“Interesting...it’s been a while since I’ve seen another one of us, though I’ve met people with a bit of it in them.” She’s going to realize that sounds strange, but wonders if the other will know what she’s referring to. “My name is Sita-what’s yours?”

[cetralegacy]

“It’s hard to explain, but-” Her voice trailed off. “There may not be any born by blood like we are but-well, being that we are born of the planet, some of our gifts and spirit may lie in others. But then again, they may be in hiding as you say. I’ve met at least one who can hear the planet like we can, and I can sense some of the Cetra in him. It’s just something that shows up in some and not in others.”

[floralgone-deactivated20230102]

❛  yeah . . i can feel you on the headaches. there are days, where i wish i was normal and maybe then i don’t have to hear those who are suffering. but . . still, makes me feel bad. i wish i could help them.   then maybe, then the planet wouldn’t hurt as much.  ❜  aeris says before her eyes had drifted to the ground and her lips curved into a frown. if there was a way to help this planet, to feel less of the suffering. only the cetra could do something about it in the end.

[cetralegacy]

“Try it for a few lifetimes,” Sita drawled. “I’ve never thought of it that way, but I suppose I can’t blame you. All we can do some days is spread the message, let them know we’re listening, and do what little things we can. “Unfortunately it will take more than just you or I-but we can do what we can.”

[floralgone-deactivated20230102]

did aeris those those cries of those voices like for a life time ? not really. she started hearing them when she was only an young toddler. they weren’t in pain back then but now ? it was a different story. they were much worse and there was no way to get rid of them except to help out the planet. instead she had to deal with the headaches and the pain might of caused her.  ❛  yeah, you are right. only we can help them out and the planet. do you think just ordinary people . . would be willing to listen and to help ? i think just us, the last two last cetra that remains may not be enough like you mentioned. so more man power is needed.  ❜

[cetralegacy]

“Some will, some won’t. The nicer ones will lend a hand. Other people are selfish and will never see the truth. But yes, I think some people can be persuaded to help. I’ve had help from such people before.” She paused. “There may be more of us in some form or fashion than you might think. Being that we are born of the planet and return to such, and given the lifetimes I’ve had, it’s possible there may be more in some form or fashion. Though perhaps they can’t hear the planet as strongly.”

Hi, here I am.

When I think of Aerith, she gives me the feeling of “nature” and “sunshine”. So I used this composition. I think Aerith is very suitable in the forest.

———————————————–

一想到艾莉絲，她給我的感覺就是"大自然"以及"陽光"。 所以我使用了這樣的構圖。 我認為艾莉絲很適合在森林中。

[floralgone-deactivated20230102]

❛ oh ? that must mean that you are a cetra too, just like me.  ❜ aeris literally thought she might of been the only living cetra in the world. even though, she had an half percentage of it in her blood, there was some out there she could relate to. ❛ it’s nice to meet you by the way~ oh and . . i’m aeris.  ❜ she says before offering a small smile upon her lips.

[cetralegacy]

“Yes.” Sita’s going to nod. “It’s kind of nice to meet someone…where the connection is strong. Aeris is a good name. Can you hear the planet like I can? For me, sometimes they’re very loud and overwhelming.” She supposed that was due to being full Cetra, however.

[floralgone-deactivated20230102]

❛  t-thank you for saying so. my mother gave me that name. i think the name is pretty fitting for me.  ❜ she says, as low laughter left her lips before giving a glance to the other.  ❛  um. yeah, i can actually. when i hear them . . sounds like they are screaming. pain and you know suffering, too.  ❜  of course, it had just meant the planet was in some serious trouble. maybe, aeris wasn’t one hundred percent fully cetra like her mother ; ifalna due to being half human too but either way you looked at it, aeris was still a cetra. no matter how you look at it.

[cetralegacy]

“You’re welcome. I think she gave you a very fitting one.” She nodded soberly at the next statement. “Me too. It gets overwhelming sometimes, and I get headaches. The trouble is that when the planet wants to tell you something, it won’t stop telling you, and it will tell you loudly. But I don’t blame it, the poor thing. It’s been hurting for a while.”

“People are fucking deaf. They’ve gotten either so comfortable or so selfish that they can’t hear a thing. Or they’re too fixated on their own problems and just drowns it out.” She’s going to choke in laughter at his analogy. “You know, I’ve never heard it put quite that way before-I think I like you.” She’s still laughing. “But you have a point. “

“You might,” she went on, sipping what he’d given her. “Of course if you’d rather go to the life stream, I’m sure the planet wouldn’t mind. It’s still part of the planet, after all.  And yes, I have been spending time with your daughter-she’s delightful-but I haven’t had this sort of conversation with her. I believe last time she was telling me about some pizza Virgie took her out for.”

She likes him? Well she best be liking him because he was the most charismatic and charming badass she was going to find in Midgar. A rather silly grin graced his face.“ I always have a point.” Wiggling his finger.“ Don’t ya’ forget that. I pitty da fool that does.” And now they wonder why he’s compared to Mr. T.

“Her and all that goddamn pizza.” He scoffed.“ They a couple of teenage mutant ninja turtles. I don’t want Marlene eatin’ all that shitty food. I eat enough shit for both of us. By the way, you gonna finish all them fries?” He asked, eyeing her plate.“ What? You think I’m some vegetarian like Cloud? Can’t that skinny without tryin’ so don’t tell me he ain’t. Now fed them extra calories if you ain’t gonna eat it.”

[cetralegacy]

Sita couldn’t help grinning as well. An answer like that might seem arrogant coming from most, but from him it was just a wave of confidence that was oddly endearing. “You’re cute,” she murmured as she popped a fry into her mouth. “I don’t often find men cute, but you are.” She winked.

“They do make vegetarian pizza,” she went on. “And there’s a banana one too, which is oddly good.” She laughed at his quip about Cloud. “I’ll share with you if you want some-they’re good fries. I confess to enjoying the junk food myself, though I do eat healthy things too. Though honestly some days I just eat what I like or have a craving for. And speaking of not being a vegetarian, what’s your favorite dish? Is it fries?” She’s going to offer one to him, grinning again.
