Leiko opened her eyes and could see the beauty of a sandy beach in front of her, the waves lapping over the shore, and the wind blowing through her hair. Still knowing she had to protect herself in case anyone was around, she took out her black cloth mask from her pocket and tied it around her head, covering the area around her eyes.
She walked over closer to the water, and slowly removed her shoes and walked even closer, letting the water hit her bare feet with the oncoming waves. She then said quietly to herself,"This is so strange... why is this place so familiar?". Suddenly, a flashback came into her mind. She could see a blonde girl sitting on a tree shaped somewhat like a bench, late at night, extending her hand out, pretending to grasp the stars.
Leiko then came back to reality by shaking her head. Thoughts now entered her mind, such as,"'Will I always have to keep hiding the markings on my face?", or,"Will the thoughts of the Organization and that girl ever leave my mind?".
Leiko then backed away from the waters, and sat down in the dry stand, her feet flat in the sand and her knees in front of her chest. She rested her arms around her knees as she stared out towards the horizon, feeling the correct emotion for this time was depression

Leiko jumped a bit, suprised anyone was nearby. She looked up to see a boy, who had just greeted her. She quickly tapped into his mind, just to make sure he wasn't an enemy, and everything seemed to be okay.
While still reading his mind, Leiko stood up to face the boy, who called himself Wisdom. She said,"Hi". She then was about to extend her hand out to greet him, but she suddenly stopped herself. In his mind, he refered to her by name. She looked at him and said,"Wait... Wisdom's your name, right? I've never seen you before, how do you know my name?".

Leiko listened intently to Wisdom's words. To her, it sounded like he also had telepathy ability, much like herself. As she was about to say how she was relieved to find somebody with a similar power to hers, he suddenly collapsed in front of her. Leiko fell to her knees, flipping him over onto his back. He was out cold.
She said,"It looks like you've been pushing yourself too hard, Wisdom. This is your reward, I guess". Having more than enough strength, she lifted Wisdom up, resting him on her back, and she carried him. She kept walking until she could see a tree which was very much shaped like a bench instead of a tree. She walked up to it, and layed him down on the trunk of the tree, and sat next to him.
Sitting there, she removed her mask, revealing the XI mark next to her right eye and the II mark next to her left eye. Even if he woke up and saw her, she knew she would just explain it as it being a curse of her own. She quickly tapped into his mind, seeing he was dreaming. To her, it looked alot more like his nightmare. To try to prevent this being anything to him, she sent a message into his dream saying,"Wisdom, this is only a dream. Please wake up".

(Just a tip, quotation marks could definitly have a place in that last post)
Leiko watched as Wisdom began to wake up, as she made sure he didn't push himself. She listened to his words, but wasn't exactly sure how to reply. After a time of silence, she said,"I guess you've already guessed that I'm cured too, but not exactly in the same way. Without a heart... forced to bear the marks of the place I've been running away from... that itself is too much to handle...".
She continued by saying,"I don't know exactly what you mean, or want for that matter. As to my place in this, I can't exactly see it. There are many worlds, some of them are dark I'm sure, but to get to a specific world, when I travel through a portal, I almost always travel to random worlds".
She jumped up from sitting on the tree, and turned back around to face Wisdom. She said,"I don't know how I would be of any help to you. To this prophecy or coherance that you speak of, I can't completly understand".

Leiko became even more confused by his words. It was obvious when he began to change into something else. It became overly obvious when he hit her. When she looked back into his eyes, confused as ever, she heard him say,"No, it's happening, forgive me Leiko". Leiko nodded and said,"You're forgiven, but...".
She looked at him, and even though she could exactly understand everything he said, she knew he wanted her help. She answered him,"Listen, I'm not rejecting this, I just don't exactly understand everything that you mean".
She took a deep breath, being shooken up a bit by everything. Calmley, she said,"If there's soemthing you need help with, whether it be as a battle partner or a... friend, I think I can help you. But please, can you tell me exactly what it is that's troubling you? And was it just me, or were you possessed for a second back there?".
She had to admit, she guessed she was supposed to be a bit scared. He was acting very strange. She looked at him and said,"You can trust me, I can help you. And such power isn't driven by anger and hate. I know this for a fact, since I don't have any emotion of my own... but I can still understand, and remember what it was like".

"Damnit, why does everybody think that just because I can be kind of a goody-two-shoes without trying that I'm on the light's side?!?" Leiko screamed in what she guessed to be annoyance. She looked at Wisdom and said,"I don't follow the light. I'm a nobody, I couldn't even if I tried. But I'm not on the side of the darkness either, and I doubt you want to be, Wisdom!".
Leiko then called upon the element of light, and charged the power into her hands as she extended her hands out in front of her. She looked at Wisdom and said,"If the darkess is trying to take over your heart, this should ward it off for awhile!". She then blasted a large amout of energy towards Wisdom, hoping it would absorb into him and purify his heart if only for a little while.
She then grabbed her black cloth mask again, and tied it back around her head, covering the area around her eyes and her markings. She looked at him again and said,"I'm not a follower of the light, but I would never serve the darkness".

Leiko looked at him as he handed her the necklace. She bowed and said,"Thank you, I will". She took the necklace from his hands and put it around her neck, and watched as it hung along with her silver locket. She realized how important this must be to him, and would do as he said, to keep it as if it were her own heart. To her, from his eyes, it looked just as important.
She looked at him, and knew he thought he was a goner for sure. She then said,"I can use the element of darkness in the same form as I just used light. There just two of the many elements I can wield at my disposal".
She realized what Wisdom really needed was the help of another. She looked at him and said,"Then let me help you! We'll go and recover your true body, then you'll be back to normal, right? I want to help you! I won't let you get overthrown by the darkness, as long as I'm standing, I won't let it happen! I can help you find out who it was that stole your body from you! Please, I wanna help...".
She looked down again, holding the chain of the necklace in her hands, glancing at it as the light from the sun reflected off of it.
