Aetherion walked into the lounge to find Sakura sleeping on the couch, and a smile spread across his face as he walked over to her.
"Are you ready?" He asked, and Sakura opened her eyes to look up at him.
"I've been waiting for a year to do this," she replied as she sat up, and Aetherion helped her to her feet.
"Good, because the next step will not be easy," Aetherion said as he pulled her into an embrace, and kissed her forehead. "It is time to sent my boy free, and for me to start guiding him. During this time, I will be sleeping in this body, but I will need you to start looking for the people in the folder I just sent you."
Sakura's eyes widened as she realized that this would be the last time she would see him for a while, and tears started to fall from her eyes, but Aetherion just smiled as he wiped them away.
