Argenti's Palace

[beautifulknight]

The stage is set they say;
They don their masks and shields,
Shadows creep and cover their minds;
Now, what beautiful role shall they play?

[ What greets Aerith in the mirror is someone she thought she would never see again, standing before her. He looks so real, down to his casual stance and easy smile. She feels an exhausted sort of relief at seeing him, the desire to lay down her arms strong and nearly overpowering.

However, she manages to resist (11). ]

Sorry, but you're gonna have to be a lot more convincing than that. The real Zack wouldn't let anything like this stand. He'd jump out of that mirror and join us.

[ Though there's a soft smile on her lips, there's a somber quality to her tone that betrays the impact that just seeing his reflection has on her. It really is a miracle she was able to resist.

But she has to. For Argenti, for herself—for Zack, too. It's why she faces the mirror with a quiet determination as she directs a Makouha at it, hitting it with Bless damage (14).

While her attack is successful, she grips her staff so hard her knuckles turn white... any incoming buffs or healing are out of the question, at least for now. She needs a moment. ]

SUCCESS

[beautifulknight]

[ She reaches success soon enough.

But, Aerith finds that other people are not as successful in their endeavors.

Should she look around, she'll discover that others are still entrapped by their mirrors. Though, she has the opportunity to assist as well.

She will gain advantage on helping others' in destroying their mirrors (by attacking the mirrors of others! Feel free to do it in real time to any comment available where someone has not destroyed a mirror.) ]
