Recent Events
Six months after she narrowly escapes being swallowed up by her world's final darkness, Aerith finds herself in the caverns of Goug, where the ShinRa Electric Power Company attempts to rebuild their capital city. Her attempts to sleep as of late have been filled with nothing but foreboding visions that can't even be called nightmares. No, they are far too vivid...

Lost Soul	November 18th, 2012	After the shopping trip in Manhattan, Aerith takes the time to continue her training, this time on her own.
