Drake looked down at the three of them. His three Dragoons, dragons of blood, human in physique. They were not true dragons, but dragon's blood flowed through them. They would never be the same. Their descendents would carry the same blood that they had. A dragon's blood! Drake was the actual prophet of the ancient prophecy. He had seen the vision in over hundreds of years ago, when he was but a youngling. He knew he would not see the fulfillment of the prophecy, but his tasks were over. He had predicted his own death. And these three marked the time of it. But the dragon had no regrets.
"Congratulations heroes. Now if I remember correctly you have things you must do." The voice was not inside of their head. Though the dragon's lips never moved, White and everyone else could hear it in their ears.
White bowed to the dragon. "Thank you Drake, the dragon. Thank you for everything you have provided us." The dragon gave its toothy grin. Once everyone had said their peace, White turned to Lance and Darius. "Let's go back to Sky. He must be waiting for us."
The travel back went by much faster then the trip down. White didn't seem to even notice any fatigue as he made the long steady climb up. They found Sky waiting for them in the same room. "Welcome. Go back now." Sky gave them a nod in turn. He did not question them about what happened in the cavern down below.
Apparently the way out of the cave was a lot shorter then the way there. It was a simple climb up another corridor that branched in a different direction in the room that had held the sealed door. Sky Fear lead them to an opening in the cave that lead ontop of the waterfall. Once outside at last, White found himself breathing in the fresh air. He was naked though still. They all were! White needed to get his clothes back and his kantana!
"Sky can we go get our stuff back?" He asked. Sky surprised White by shaking his head.
"Stuff no there.... Stuff here." Sure enough by a tree that lead back into the dense woods was all their clothing and items. Sky must have fetched it for them at some point. White had to admit it, though he hadn't known Sky for long he was beginning to like the man. He was a good person it seemed at heart. White wondered why the other village thought his people were evil.
He was just bending down to reach his clothes when a sharp shrill filled the air to his right. White would know that scream anywhere! He heard it back in the last world. Lance would no doubt recognize it too. It belonged to Princess Leliana. She had just broken through the woods to find a naked White starring at her. Of course she also picked up a rock and threw it at his stomach as well.

(OOC: Is rolling on the floor, dying of laughter right now) Darius and Lance both looked up at Drake when he had congratulated them. The way he spoke, though his lips hadn't moved, it sounded as if his voice were coming to their ears this time around and not directly into their heads. As White had done, the other two bent to their knees and bowed before the great dragon. The blood had, no doubt, changed them. Still, they were grateful for the dragon's aid. They had no idea of the things that were to come for Drake though, he hadn't revealed it to them.
White gave his thanks to the great dragon. After he was done, Darius followed right after him. "We're grateful for your chivalry, Drake. Thank you. We will not forget this moment." When Darius was done, it was Lance's turn to thank the dragon.
"Yes, thank you for all that you have done for us. Thank you for testing us so that we earned rather than simply had such a gift handed to us. I shall write down what you have told us of the prophecy so that we may keep it for us to remember and find an appropriate place to set it upon for those long after us to see and heed the warnings you have given us. Thank you once again for everything."
Now, it was time to leave, upon White's suggestion, the other two gave a nod. Giving a last bow to the dragon, Darius and Lance left and followed White's lead back up the steep path. Compared to their previous standing with the path, Darius noticed he didn't seem bothered by it at all. In fact, he didn't even feel himself break a sweat or even feel fatigue. The same went for White and Lance. Drake's blood had done something to them, alright. They had power to them that no normal human would have.
When they finally came out of the path, there was Sky waiting for them still. He welcomed them and informed them that they would go back now. With a nod, Sky lead the way down a path leading out of the cavern. It was much shorter than the way into it. Once outside, Darius wondered how he was going to return to get his clothing. Did they have to go back? Lance was already turning to look back, thinking the same thing as White spoke to Sky. When he had, they were told their things had been brought here. Turning back to look over at Sky, Darius smiled. "Thanks, Sky!"
With that, all three of the boys went to get their belongings. Darius, unlike the other two, just looked dumbfounded as he heard a random shriek. Confusedly, he looked over at the source. Lance, on the other hand, had quite a different reaction. Having heard this shriek once before, Lance shot up, his face pale. "AAAH!" he let out a scream of his own, scurrying away to conceal himself. Darius just looked like a deer caught in the headlights. Poor boys! Poor Leliana stumbling upon them in the nude!

White fell over clutching his side. Why did she have to throw a rock at him! Meanwhile, Princess Leliana was cursing. "I send you guys to fu**ing train and instead you're fooling around in the nude! What is wrong with you guys?" Of course she had done the decency of turning around. Sky on the other hand, took the scream as something wrong. He had his bow drawn and pointed in the direction of Princess Leliana.
But hearing her words to White, he slowly lowered the bow. Sky figured she must know the outsiders. She herself looked to be an outsider. More outsiders! Just how many outsiders were going to visit this world?
"Well put on some clothes already!" She shouted. White, picked himself up and gathered his clothes. Taking Lance and Darius's he tossed it to them. There was a bruise forming on his chest where the rock had hit.
"Damn girl." White mumbled under his breath as he pulled on his pants.
Princess Leliana must have heard him because she said, "White I will come over there, grab your balls by my hands and squeeze them till they pop if you call me a 'damn girl' again." White turned white at the thought. Stupid princess had sharp ears.
Finishing being dressed, White made sure everyone else was dressed before he told Princess Leliana that they were decent. She turned around and walked over to them. Her eyes ran up and down Sky as if she was studying him. Sky didn't seem to mind. In fact he hardly seemed to care.
"The villagers told me that you were hunting the Vuli. I suppose that since you must be traveling one, that they are not the reason their villagers are disappearing?" White didn't answer. Darius or Lance could answer that one. At the moment he was a bit angry with the princess.
Sky seemed it the right time then to introduce himself. "Name Sky. We Vuli!" He told Princess Leliana with a smile. When he said we, he motioned his hands to include Darius, Lance, and White as well. He was proud to have members of the tribe once again.
Princess Leliana, dressed in her casual clothing that she had worn in the battle against Smiles and Ivory, did a small bow. "I am Princess Leliana of the Enchanted Domain. Nice to meet you Sky of the Vuli. I understand that you have trouble here, but we really cannot stay here to help. I came back here as soon as I could guys. The keyblade masters... there all dead."

Darius blinked, finally coming out of his shock at what had just happened. White had fallen on the ground, clutching at his side where Leliana had thrown a rock at him in her surprise. Then, the princess, having turned away from them, had begun cursing up a storm over what they had been doing. "We were training!" he growled back in response.
White finally recovered enough to get their clothing and tossed them to Darius and Lance. Each catching their respective clothes, the boys began to dress at light speed. Neither of them intended to be seen by Leliana and now that she had, they were mightily embarrassed. Lance couldn't help but think that this was but a second time when she caught them during an inappropriate moment. Would they have been punished back on her world over something like this? Probably. Lance did not want a repeat of that and quite frankly, the fact she saw all three of them was humiliating. It wasn't hard to see the coloring on Darius's and Lance's faces even though they were now well dressed before White confirmed that Leliana could finally turn around to see them dressed.
None of them had dared to try and say anything about Leliana after the threat she had made to White when he had. Neither of them wished to suffer something like that. Darius folded his arms and Lance simply wouldn't look at anyone. How humiliating! He had been hoping that they would've been dressed before she arrived. So much for that!
As Leliana approached, she inspected Sky as if she were trying to study him or something. Darius wasn't sure what was going through her head but probably nothing pleasant depending on her attitude. Eventually, she spoke, acting as if their previous situation had never happened. White, understandably, said nothing in response to Leliana when she made the assumption that Sky was a Vuli and that they were with him meant that he wasn't responsible for the disappearance of the Stami tribe.
"You're correct...Heartless were the reason why they went missing. According to Sky here, they had become Heartless. A man with a "skull" helmet was he one that had brought the creatures here. The heartless have also attacked Sky's tribe, he is the last of the Vuli. Well, was the last of the Vuli. We're now a part of his tribe." Honestly, this last part just might make Leliana think they were pathetic boys, playing jungle games but whatever.
Sky had introduced himself and claimed they were Vuli, confirming what Darius had said. Leliana actually treated Sky with respect as she introduced herself as well. Eventually, she told them why she was here so soon. The keyblade masters were all dead! Lance looked up in shock.
"Dead?! All of them?!" Darius exclaimed.

White was equally as surprised by the princess's comment. How could all the keybladers be dead? "How can you be certain?" He asked. Was it just someone's words? Or did she see them. It wasn't that White didn't trust Leliana's information. He was just shocked. How could keyblade masters all be dead?
"Master Jasper had sent out a message before the battle. I was to meet the keyblade masters and inform them of what was happening. When I arrived I found their bodies..." Princess Leliana's eyes couldn't stay on White or any of them. There was a loss in her eyes that only came with witnessing death. White knew this, because he had seen death before. He knew that what she had to have said must be true.
"Why didn't you tell us? We would have went with you!" White felt for the princess. He wanted to reach his arm out and give her a hug. He didn't like seeing her like that.
She shook her head. "No. I didn't think there would be danger... I never thought... We have to do something. We need to find the organization and we need to find them now!"
White did have new found strength, but he still had no clue as to how to find them. There was also the stuff that was going on here. Sky had just helped them become members of his tribe. They should help him. Sky seemed to see their dilemma. He looked to Darius. "Friends go. Sky hunt for all."

Darius had to wonder how Leliana could be certain as well. As the three of them listened to her, Leliana confirmed that Jasper had sent them a message. When she went to meet them, she found their bodies. The haunting look in her eyes was evidence enough that she had actually seen their dead bodies there. Darius's face turned grim then, Lance looking serious as well. No wonder White had that feeling that they shouldn't meet the keyblade masters at first. If they did, they too might've wound up dead.
Leliana just shook her head at White's words. It was true though, they would have gone with her if Leliana had told them. She didn't think there would've been danger but the point of the matter was, they needed to find that organization and they needed to find them now. Darius exchanged glances with Lance. They had strength to them now but would it be enough? On top of it, where was the organization?
"We don't know where they are." Lance nodded at this. While the others talked, he pulled out the small poem book, remembering fully well what he intended to write on a blank page when he had the time. Drake's prophecy could not be forgotten or they would be in for real trouble in the future with no one aware of the danger. However, they couldn't just leave Sky here. He had helped them become Vuli and discover things here in Deep Jungle. They should help him in return.
"We should help you, Sky. You helped us, we owe you a favor. We promised to help hunt." Darius looked over at Lance and White then. Should they leave now or hunt? "What do you guys think?" No offense to Leliana but Darius and the others had been here for a while and knew Sky so it would also be up to them with what they wished to do.

White felt torn as well. The fact was they didn't know where to find the organization. The next step would be to probably find Mr. Thomas. "Maybe Mr. Thomas can lead us to Arya. She was taken by them after all!" That was the best idea White had for finding the organization. Still Darius brought up a good point. They should help Sky. There was a heartless here that was killing the villagers. Sky needed their help. Despite him proclaiming that they could leave, White felt that it wasn't the right thing to do. They couldn't just keep world jumping. White still didn't like how they had left the other worlds.
"I say we hunt the heartless...erm.... dark ones." Princess Leliana didn't seem to very much like the idea given her expression. But she was outvoted here.
"Alright. We'll help the people here. Then if you really think finding your friend will help us find them, I say we do that." She told them.
Sky smiled. "Follow Sky! We hunt!" Sky did not take the time to climb up a tree. Instead he simply turned and started to dash into the forest. That was Sky, always dashing without waiting. White of course did that a lot too.

Darius awaited the answer of the other two. He meant Leliana no offense by it but he felt that they had a right to vote on it. Hearing what White said, Darius gave a nod. "True, he could find Arya for us and lead us hopefully right to them..." he trailed off. Lance gave a nod at this as well.
"Yes, we could try that...however I would like to help here if you don't mind." It seemed the three of them were all on the same boat, leaving Leliana to almost drown in the water by herself being out voted here. Still, she eventually agreed and decided to go along with them. Well, at least she wouldn't uphold anything petty during this. At least, Darius hoped not. It wouldn't do any of them good if she chose to fight them every step of the way depending on what decisions were made.
Happily, Sky told them that they should follow him and that now, they were to hunt. Darius smiled and nodded. "Lead the-...way?" Darius stated. Sky had already taken off before he could even say those words. Chuckling, Darius gave a nod to the others and took off after him. Lance did as well. The time was now to hunt!

Sky lead them through the jungle and past the border line. That was the first step in tracking down the heartless. First they had to reach the border line. Once they had arrived though, Sky did not pause as he had before. There was no second thoughts about crossing the border into Stem territory this time. He lead the group into the other tribe's territory.
Once in it, there wasn't much difficulty tracking down the trail Sky had found before. The third eye that the Vuli hunters had allowed them to see darkness residue left by heartless. It clung to the ground like a trail as clear as day to Sky. To White, it was something he hadn't experienced before. He found himself wondering why he hadn't seen this trail on there way in the jungle before.
Even though they had been running for a couple hours now, White wasn't nearly as tired as he had been before. He felt like he could keep running all day. Princess Leliana however was the slowest of them. She suffered from the same fatigue that White and Darius had faced as they had followed Sky.
Sadly for her Sky did not pause. He continued going, following the darkness trail. It was through more trees and jungle and farther away from the borders when finally Sky came to a stop at a clearing in the jungle. The trail of darkness residue covered the entire clearing, hiding the ground to all but Princess Leliana. "Dark puddle. Ready fight?" He asked them.
White nodded. He was ready. He felt like he could take on any heartless! Sky seemed to get the ready signal from everyone because he drew his bow and stepped into the "dark puddle". as he had said. In response to his step, a creature rose from the puddle. It was a huge heartless. With black and red spider like legs, a wicked sharp black scorpion tail that rose above its black torso, long black pincer like arms, and a grutesque face. It looked somewhat like an alien with four yellow eyes, a stout like mouth with sharp teeth and four pincers around its mouth. It had to have stood at about fifteen feet and every bit of it looked dangerous.
The four yellow eyes fell on them and the heartless sprinted towards. "Scatter!" Sky shouted. White didn't need to be told twice. Kantana in hand he dashed to the left.

As the boys took off after Sky, they didn't realize the difficulties that Leliana was having. Much like White and Darius, she suffered the same kind of fatigue running after them all. It was no more for Darius, Lance and White though. There was a strength and energy behind them that they didn't realize just how much power they were given until now. It was easy to see that whatever had been in Drake's blood, he had definitely given them power. There was no telling just how much of it they each had though. They all had yet to see how much stronger their powers had become.
They made it through the border of the Stam tribe. As soon as they did, Darius and Lance began to notice a strange trail. Sky appeared to be following it. By the looks of it, it was a faint trace of darkness leading off to somewhere. Honestly, Darius was confused by what he saw. How were they seeing this? Was it because of the dragon's blood or was this because of the effects of the stuff they drank? Whatever the case, it proved useful. Now, it would be easy to see where Heartless had gone and if there was a chance they'd get jumped by them.
Eventually, Sky came to a stop near a clearing in the jungle. As Lance and Darius stopped to look at him, they glanced at the clearing ahead. It was covered in trails of darkness. No doubt, the Heartless would be lurking in there. As Sky spoke, they heard him call it a puddle and if they were ready to fight. Each of them nodded in response. "Yes."
As soon as everyone gave their confirmation that they were ready, Sky drew his bow and stepped into the puddle. As he did so, a Heartless that was at least fifteen feet tall emerged from the darkness. It was truly grotesque. As the thing set all four of its yellow eyes upon them, it charged. When it did, Sky told them to scatter. Instinctively, Darius didn't need telling twice what to do as the thing came lumbering their way.
Summoning his armor, Darius leapt into the air. He didn't even have to have his wings take flight. He had seriously jumped on his own and got twenty feet into the air. The minute he noticed how high he went up, Darius startled himself. Already, he flailed in the air a bit before gaining his self composure by making his armor fly so he didn't go crashing downward. 'I don't know my own strength!' he thought.
Lance rolled off to the right. He avoided the thing with ease and at the rate he moved, he almost sent himself skyrocketing into a tree with the speed he had. It was going to take a lot of getting used to with their new found strength.

White had dashed to the right. He left Princess Leliana and Lance to fend for themselves. Princess Leliana had actually slid right underneath the large creature. As she came up on the other side, she softly spoke to herself. "Summon Guardian of the Earth." She said. Her form, similar to before, changed. In place of Leliana was a rock golem. She stood ten feet tall now, with arms and legs and torso all made of gathered rock and earth. It slightly reminded White of the fissure that had fought Sir Joffery in Land of Dragons. However this was a true golem, not just a person covered in earth.
White though didn't have much time to pay attention to the princess though. Just by running, electricity had started pumping around his legs, making him speed past the creature. He hadn't even known he had done it.
The heartless had turned about to face the five of them. Sky stayed in the background and was letting loose arrows against the heartless. They were sharp shooting shots, but the body of the heartless was just to tough. The arrows deflected off the creature. It would take something tougher to hurt this heartless.
White took a swing at the creature. He charged the heartless, electricity swirling around his kantana like a beacon. He ran fast enough that the creature couldn't react in time before he was on him. White leaped and aimed his slice at the creature's leg. Sure enough his kantana, with the added electricity, sliced right through it! The creature titled as it lost it's leg, causing it to fall on its side. This left it open for an attack in its underbelly!

Darius, once regaining his self composure, looked down upon the battle going on from on high. It looked as though everyone but the princess was alright. Then, out of nowhere, a golem of earth appeared. Well, rock but earth really. No doubt, it had to be the princess, he couldn't explain where else the thing came from and he didn't suspect Sky had something to his calling in that magnitude or fighting that Heartless would've been easier for him.
'Look at me, sitting here frikkin daydreaming while everyone else below is fighting!' Darius thought, giving his head a bit of a shake before summoning his broadsword. Once it appeared in his hand, he was surprised by how much lighter it felt. He didn't have to use two hands to hold it, he could use it with just one hand now. Drake's blood really did them something. It was going to get a lot of getting used to.
Diving downward, as he saw White cause the Heartless to flip over after severing a leg, Darius aimed at one section of the creature's exposed belly. When he got close enough, he attempted to strike right into the middle of the section he was near which was closer more so toward the pelvic area if it were to have a pelvis.
While the others were fighting, Lance was recovering from his near hit with the tree. Mentally scolding himself, he got to his feet and looked upon the battle. He had just seen the princess change form so he knew that she was alright. White had just severed the Heartless's leg and Darius came up from on high. Sky was fine, firing arrows from afar. Well, that was good, his friends were okay. Wondering what to do, Lance at least gave Darius and Leliana a chance to attack who were much closer to the thing than he was.
Once they were done, he ran at it with his lance, holding it up, the lance was soon engulfed with a wind. Giving it a mighty toss, he watched as it was propelled from his hand when he swung it and out of it, the air seeming to carry it at a speed much greater than his own arm strength.

White watched Dance leap up and aim a strike at the heartless's underbelly. What he did not see was the claw of the heartless come up from above to try and smash Darius even as Darius succeeded in striking it. This was when Princess Leliana came in. Being a golem in form she came up behind the heartless, blocking White's line of sight. Her giant earth fist shot forward grabbing the clawed hand and snapping it back.
Heartless normally didn't have mouths to screech in pain. This one though was not normal. It let out a screech from its mouth that was clearly filled with pain. It only amplified when Lance tossed his spear. The spear shot right through the creature, sinking in its underbelly and further inside.
Their enemy did not like this. It was not dead yet, and after all the people it had turned to heartless it wasn't about to just give up yet. The heartless had still one last thing it could do. The scorpion tail was raised and had not really done anything. Now though it aimed towards the people gathered around its underbelly, mainly Darius.
The scorpion tail shot downward aiming at where Darius stood. An arrow though deflected the path of the tail, thanks to Sky. The arrow was aimed at such precise that it knocked off the trajectory just enough to miss Darius. Sky didn't stop at that arrow though. He had another one knocked, and this one charged with light energy. Letting the arrow go, it sailed across and into the underbelly of the heartless. White watched as at last the heartless sank and then dispersed.
Upon its disperse about a hundred hearts rose from the dark puddle as it resided. As hearts usually did they all disappeared. But to watch a hundred hearts rise from a pool of darkness was something White had never seen before. They were all around them and White knew he was looking at the people who had lost their lives to this heartless. They were finally going to wherever hearts go. It made him smile.

Darius had managed to stab the Heartless in the underbelly with his broadsword. He didn't know that the hing took that opportune moment to try and nab him with its clawed hand until Leliana interfered. It had been a very lucky thing she did too for she had managed to grab the thing's clawed hand just in time before it could strike Darius. Turning to the golem, after realizing his close call, Darius gave a nod of gratitude in her direction before leaping off the Heartless.
As he did so, Lance took that moment then to toss the lance he owned. Looking over at him, Darius's eyebrows raised seeing the speed of which the lance was going that Lance had just thrown. It sunk right into the Heartless's underbelly and then some! "Whoa!" Darius exclaimed. He didn't see the scorpion-like tail coming up from behind him though. If it weren't for Sky as well, Darius would've once again suffered another nasty attack.
Turning around, hearing something strike something, Darius saw the scorpion-like tail of the Heartless just miss him! "Holy-!" he exclaimed, getting out of range. This hadn't been a pleasant fight and because of their powers, Darius seemed to have forgotten about his safety. He'd need to be more cautious rather than marveling at what they were more able to do.
Another arrow from Sky had been fired, this one immersed in light. As it hit the Heartless, only then did the monster finally die. Everyone turned to watch as it dispersed. As it did so, a hundred or so hearts were released from the Heartless's body. These were the people that the Heartless had killed and claimed the lives of. No doubt, the hearts were being sent back to where all hearts gathered. Lance held a grim expression upon his face as he watched them go. It was nice knowing they had freed them but those people could not be brought back from the dead. Darius just watched in marvel as the hearts left the darkness puddle from the dead Heartless. He had never witnessed such a sight before. This was a first to him and he didn't understand why but it brought a tear to his eye in which he quickly wiped away.

Sky watched the hearts around him. He was in tears because he knew that many people had died as a result of this heartless. It was a beautiful thing to watch. However it was not the skull man. It was not the person behind the heartless attack on his tribe. He would continue his search for the enemy. But the heartless problem here was now finished.
Once the hearts had all dispersed, Princess Leliana had reverted back to her normal human looking self. She was glad to see that she could be of help in the freeing of these hearts. Heartless were nasty creatures. But now that this problem was solved, they could get on to the larger problem.
White walked over to gather with everyone as well. He was glad that they had defeated the heartless as well. The question now though was what next? Once everyone had gathered Sky spoke up. "Thank you." He said, bowing to them in a sign of respect.
White nodded. "It was no problem Sky. We were glad to help."
Princess Leliana next spoke up. "Now that this is done, I do think we really need to get going. My father gave me a new invention from our top scientists. Its called a PTD, or Portable Transport Device. Its new technology made right out of our labs. It can create a portal to any world. I thought we could use it to go to Halloween Town."

Darius and Lance watched as the hearts floated up and away, disappearing right before their very eyes. As they stood there, they could only think of how terrible Heartless were. It was good to see the hearts were finally free. No longer were they consumed by the darkness and could pass on. They weren't keyblade wielders but at least there was comfort knowing they had ended their suffering.
Finally, Darius and Lance took their attention away from the floating hearts to look over at those around them. Sky was in tears, sad for those that had lost their lives because of that Heartless. White and Leliana had joined up with their group, Leliana back to normal again.
Sky had thanked them for their help. Darius gave a nod at what White had said. "Yes, we would've helped any time, Sky." Lance gave a nod about this too to confirm that he agreed with the others. It was at this point where Leliana directed their attention back onto their bigger problem. Locating Mr. Thomas in Halloween Town.
Darius listened as Leliana had claimed the new device her father gave her would be able to open portals for them so that they could travel to Halloween Town. "I'm assuming since you were handed this that it works then? Awesome!" Darius looked around at the others. "So guys, ready to leave?" he inquired.
"I'm ready when you are." That had been Lance's answer. He would go anywhere they needed to.

White was ready to go, but he couldn't help but feel bad for leaving Sky. They had much to thank him for, but sadly they didn't have the time to stay. There were things that they needed to do for the good of everyone. White was ready to leave. "Were all ready Princess." He told Princess Leliana.
The princess reached into her pocket and pulled out a small square box. It looked similar to that of a small box that held jewelry. Opening it, a portal of darkness seemed to pour out of it. White knew that he would have to come back here after they were all finished with this. He wanted to spend some time with Sky.
"Goodbye Sky. Thanks for helping these bozos." Princess Leliana said to Sky, bowing as a sign of respect. "Let's go then." Princess Leliana stepped in first. White didn't know though that what awaited them was a frozen tundra.

Arya was alone. There was no one to save her. She couldn’t even feel Mr. Thomas anymore. Wherever they had taken her, it was a place that was cold and damp. Then again in her current position it was no wonder she could feel the cold and damp air around her. She saw nothing but darkness. This was due to the blindfold that had been tied around her eyes.
Her arms were cramped from being chained to her sides to a hard surface. The surface was cold to the touch whenever she rested the back of her arm and hands against it. Thankfully they had not chained her legs. However they were cramping as well. She had been left here for another hour for not answering his questions.
She knew her captor. Not personally of course, but whenever he was near she could feel him. He was an older gentlemen in what could only be described as a cowboy gear. Hearing the opening of a door, she knew that her captor had returned. “Will you do it? Will you bring them back?” It was the same question that he had asked time and time again now. Sadly every time she tried to explain things to him he would get angry.
Arya really was in a sticky situation. She had tried everything, staying silent, explaining the reality, even pleading that she would try again. However that was the first thing she had said.
The long dried gash from the whip on her side reminded her that it was worse to fail. His anger rose when she failed. The gash on her stomach with dried blood around it was from the knifing she received from not answering him. He had healed the cut but not before he let it dry out. That was torture. She would speak, because she had to. “I told you, I can’t. Please let me go. I don’t have the book. I’m not strong enough. I don’t know how to revive them. If I could only fetch my book.”
This was not the answer he wanted. He had his hands on a necromancer finally and the thought that she did not have the power to do so was not what he wanted. She knew it was coming, but could do nothing to defend herself. The powerful kick to her ribs knocked the wind out of her. The pumping of her heart was disrupted only by his fleeing footsteps. He would be back to ask again. And the answer would have to be the same.
Arya remembered waking to find herself in a strange office like room. However upon her awake, the elder had grabbed her and dragged her into a portal. He took her to a grave and commanded her to raise the two bodies in the grave stone. He had pointed his revolver to her head and told her that if she didn’t do it he would kill her. When she failed he took her back to his business room, but that was after stabbing her.
He had a strange older woman come and spread smoke across her bleeding wound. She had been losing consciousness by then. After being healed the man informed her that they were moving. That they were going to a different place, and that he would take her explanation of her failure then. Arya had never seen the strange tower before, when they arrived there. But she recognized the fissures by their yellow eyes. It was obvious to her that they were the owners of this tower, and that the organization was now joining their castle.
The old man called himself Snake. He gave her to one of the fissures to place in his rooms, but to bind her to the wall. The fissure turned to the one who had attacked them at The Enchanted Domain. He gave the fissure a nod before coming to her and knocking her out. When she awoke again, it was to darkness. And since then she had not seen light. She had lost track of time and days. He would be back again, to ask her to bring them back. And she would have to explain once more that she didn’t know how. She couldn’t help but wonder though how much longer his patience would hold?
-------------------------------------------
Lakari sat in the frozen tundra that once was Halloween Town. There was nothing here now besides snow and ice. Any existence of Halloween Town was covered in thirty feet in snow. Opening the door to Halloween Town had been tricky. Normally such a thing would have been easy for him, but since his awakening things had not been easy at all. It was all because of the lock.
He could feel it as if were physically around his head. The lock on his abilities… And he was powerless to remove it! Just using his powers to create a tunnel through the snow and ice had been taxing! He who had power beyond imaginable, yet it was all locked away! He knew the reason for the lock, and he knew exactly how to rid of it. He would just have to kill the one who held the key. The problem he was discovering though, was that the one who had the key was not here. He could feel her, slightly, in some great distance. The link that they shared via the lock on his powers pointed the direction she was in.
However he could do nothing! He couldn’t even open a portal! He was stuck in this frozen tundra, or the land of the dead elves. It used to be Christmas Town, but that name fit the current state of the town. He looked very much the same as always. The one who had brought him back to life originally had put a lock on the powers and abilities he had obtained through the hundreds of years. She had, in a sense, reverted him back to the days where he had been an innocent elf, unaware of the various powers that could be available to him. The result was Mr. Thomas, a man that was innocent, helpful, and a protector. He had not been exposed to the sweetness that power possessed or the corruption of the old Keyblade Master.
The lock in his memories had been loosened just enough that Lakari had been able to pour out a little by little. His knowledge, little by little, had leaked through until Lakari was able to unlock his full self. Now that he had, he was master of his body in everything but the power that he had. It was there! He could feel it, locked behind the mental block in his abilities. He just needed to get to that girl child. Once she was dead… Well there was much to do and much to plain. Lakari’s first death… had been unpleasant. A necromancer had wrestled control of his subjects away from him by giving them unrestricted life. They turned against him. That was how he had died.
But he knew eventually he would be brought back. He had much to do, but it would take many years before he was ready to put his plan into action. But before any of that he needed to get his powers back. He would wait. Those foolish friends of hers would come for him. And he would lead them to her. Then, when they had their backs turned, he would betray them and kill her.
((OOC: If your done with your last response feel free to lock it. Either way I'll create the next thread then and pm it to you in a bit))
