"Thank you kindly." Eden graciously took the coat, wrapping it around herself. "I'd light myself up, but I think there's been enough fire lately." She almost chuckled. She tried to imagine Gex's coat as another's. One familiar, one she knew the scent of, one she dearly missed. She almost inhaled Gex's scent, catching herself doing the action and tried to play it off as nothing. She always wondered about the scent of humans, how every one was unique. Then again, this was a nobody.
Eden nodded. "And I will keep my eye on you." She scooted closer to him, shivering a bit. "But funny enough, though I use fire, I'm still as cold as ice." she sneezed, small, but surprising.
"Trust me, you'd never cease to exist. Few nobodies become complete, you'd be very lucky." Eden sounded sad at that too. She looked at him, a small pokerface cloaked in sadness. "It's better to feel something, rather then feel empty all the time. I've never known to have a nobody, and even I know what's it' like to be empty."
"You could always get your heart back, you know... I would help." The gaze of Earth's Wielder seemed distant at that, watching the sun rise. She sighed, thinking of people who had died. "Like the Lonely Gods.... Some are the true Oncoming Storm though.. Heh, everything we touch dies. And we can't do a thing about it."
Eden shrugged. "Maybe, or maybe you don't like to interact. Not much of a social butterfly, just an overseer." she sighed deeply, rubbing her forehead with a look of deep pain. "I just wish none of this happened. I really do. It seems like fun, but it really isn't. And if you're chosen for something big, you can't come back home. Never."
Eden sat by Gexln, sighing. "I loved beaches... But I never imagined things to be like this. I'm starting to really dislike this group, because more then anything they don't understand how drastic everything is." she bitterly looked at her scarred hands from the possible hundreds of scratches that came either from heartless of herself. She slumped over slightly, huffing at the amount of things she wished she could have. "I wish I had something to keep close. My memory is bad, and I don't want to fo--" she paused, replaying the words in her head. "Sorry, all this emotion, must be foreign to you..."
Eden chuckled loosely at Gexln, but tried to help Valerie organize as well. She didn't quite hear the comments about family members the same way Valerie had. It made her heart hurt, making her wince. She wanted to go home so badly... but being a Keyblade wielder, and the tiniest spark of anger, she'd have to leave Earth or else she'd bring everything she loved to it's knees.
Eden glanced at Gexln. "We'll help too. We pretty much caused this anyway." She tightened her grip on Gex's shoulder, not wanting to leave him alone. "You're staying by me."
Eden shrugged. She shivered at the look in Gexln's eyes. She kept a steady, almost frail hand on his shoulder. Like a little tiny child trying to tame the serpent who swallowed worlds. Her expression was blank, or maybe an attentive one. She hadn't been very expressive, keeping a massive poker face for times of social interaction.
"Trust me, if they do anything, they answer to me. You are my responsibility." Eden stepped to Gexln's side, lowering Darkness' Sorrow till the tip touched the ground. "There is no reason to be afraid. You're getting quite emotional. I want you to rest." She pulled out an elixir(one she secretly nicked from Sora) for him, popping off the cork. "Life spells don't fully heal you, but they do give you a good energy boost to get right back up. At least, when they aren't from princesses I would assume."
Eden turned her attention away from the retreating Anti to pay it to Gexln. "Gex, it's okay. Nothing's gonna hurt you. I'm making sure of that."
Eden went off to try and finish the Final Anti, her fury mimicking a god's. She would focus on Gexln when everyone was safe from her mistakes as well. "If you wish to die, then stay! If you wish to live, then go."
Eden didn't even care to listen to any sort of plan, charging into one of the Antis with a fire burning around her. Her fire, however, had changed from he time as a powerful heartless. It had changed into a darker, tainted fire. That didn't stop her fury to fight.
Eden awkwardly shifted her weight to her good leg, the other one worn down by years of uneven weight from a shoulder bag. Glaring intensely at the Anti-Soras, not allowing anyone close to Gexln. Apparently her loyalty to Gexln still applied as a human.
Eden had felt drained from being a heartless, but that didn' stop her to parry off Anti-Sora if any got too close to Gexln. She hissed at the disobedient puppets, eyes growing dark with anger. "This one is mine. Be gone." Her physical stance made her look more frightening then she really was. She was going to protect Gexln, no questions asked.
Eden hardened her stare to Riku, but eased the tension on her body. She growled at anyone that would get too close to Gexln, making sure he had the time to react. "I don't want to have a war. Now all stand down." Her attitude and slightly grayed eyes seemed to feel higher and mightier then the others. How prideful.
Eden groaned in her headache, her figure returning to normal, but the anger hadn't simmered. "He is innocent because he is a Nobody. I volunteered to house you, and he volunteered to take you out. He followed a request. But at the same time, while he has done good, he has also fought against us. He is neutral, as all nobodies are. They just want their goal, no matter how many good or bad deeds need to happen." She glared at Riku with ferocity. "He has saved our lives and almost ended them at the same time." she brushed away the ashes, coughing. "I know I was a Heartless, but it was just a heartless of myself that tried to help him reach his goal. That is what happened." She again recalled on some thin memories, pertaining to Riku. "Don't you remember doing whatever you could to achieve your goal and revive Kairi? Even if that mean killing Sora and innocents everywhere?"
Eden glanced at everyone going to attack Gexln, and she weakly ran to help him. Standing in front of him with shaky knees, her eyes turned into dark orbs. "He's innocent." her voice was deep with echoing tones. She wanted to hear what had happened. Summoning her red Keyblade of Fire, she glared at the people before her.
Eden groaned with pain, coughing at the intake of ashes that covered with her. "Sh-t man... Where am I?" she looked around, seeing Gexln, and a large ring of ashes covering most of the island. "What happened? Did Gex put me back to normal?"
And like the pheonix of the legends, this one exploded into ash. This frightened the heartless that hadn't been caught in the earlier fury, running away. And again, like the Pheonixes of myths, from the ashes were born a freed heart, and Valerie. The free heart morphed into it's original form, Eden with longer hair, Riku's clothing that she had borrowed before, and a few battle scars. With a heavy thump, she fell to the ground in a big tired heap.
