While she was going down the endless flight of stairs Aera was wondering what she would find down there. Would the clone of Sephiroth really be down there or was all of this just a waste of time. The biggest question going through her head was if she would be able to defeat him. She had heard the tales of Sephiroth and to her it always sounded like he had godlike powers. Her father had been able to defeat him though, but he had a lot of fighting experience when he did that. Her experience consisted of sparring with her parents and going on some hunting jobs.<br/><br/>Her musings were cut short when she heard a soft whispering, like someone was speaking from very far away. She knew this meant that she was getting closer and after another flight of stairs she saw that she had reached the end. Right before she reached the corner she heard a loud slicing sound, meaning something was very wrong. She strengthened her grip on her blade and quietly went to the corner. When she got there she carefully peeked around it to see what exactly was going on.
