The keychain pulsed, coming into Eden's hands. It morphed into a new keychain, a lioness curled around a badger in a protective circle. The lioness was a deep purple, while the badger a honey yellow. The stem of the great weapon was a honey gold with metal vines of red circling around it. The tooth of the blade was composed of white, silver "hairs" and the other, crimson "feathers". It had no name, and didn't choose to. But it was enough to scare away the heartless. They knew, Red was the color of Valour, Courage, and Blood. And that was what she wanted.
"Sora, right now you can't--" Eden noticed the monkey heartless being swat away, seeing the blood. Why did that one defend her? Nevertheless, the fact that it alone tried sent her heart ablaze. She pushed Sora back, running (almost tripping as one of her leg joints ached badly) and scooping up the monkey heartless. To allow one so close was a chance she'd take, but right now she would do all she could. The heartless around her swarmed, and she could do nothing but be a shield. The Keychain again glowed brightly, but dully compared to the now bubble of heartless overtaking them.
ooc: I am only having "me" act in accordance to the situation at hand. bic: Eden noticed the glares from numerous heartless all centering around Sora, and she would not accept that. She sprinted towards the keybearer, putting herself in harms way. Out of all the greedy, hungry eyes, one met hers that struck a chord. A sense of familiarity... But now was no time to be distracted. These things destroyed a love of hers, and now she had her only true family, though not by blood. "Sora... I want you to get out of here... Things could get messy and... Well, I found my magic, and it's going to end up hurting you. I can't control it... I'm sorry."
Kenna shrunk a bit, not in her actual size, but probably a bit put off. "Well..." as she tried to fiddle with the bow. She already realized she wouldn't be able to hit it straight on. So, the alternative to compensate for lack of strength? Angling the bow up high, and shooting. The arrow, guided by Sir Gravity, hit a thin branch, making it snap off from the foreign weight.
Eden looked over to the keybearer, eyes pleading for help she almost thought she could not recieve. It was getting harder to keep awake, and Andrew was left out there, alone.... So all she clould do is run, and hope the winds kept her fast enough.
"No..." Eden rushed to the heartless, stomping them to oblivion. More came around, from the ground and held down The pyro. She struggled, unable to move properly. One shadow tenderly stroked where her heart was, ready to grab. This put the girl to the test, and her heart passed. The keychain sparked brightly, blinding the heartless, even destroying some too close.
Eden was on her knees, she was getting too weak, her vision was getting hazy as well. "Magic sucks..." She spluttered out, wavering as she tried to get back up. Going into her normal stance, she blinked at each heartless, knowing it was the end once more.
Eden looked up to the Wyvern screech, surveying the heartless around her once more. The weaker, more stupid, immediately crowded around her, and she was not going to give up. Her arms and legs sparked a wild blaze around her, eyes glowing like a demon's. "Stay AWAY!" she screamed, the pulse of fire ringing out, draining her once more, putting out the flames.
Eden was breathing heavily, that explosion took a bit out of her. Her clothes were singed to the point she could have just been in rags. She couldn't really breathe too well either. Her hands were raw with heat, and she would keep fighting. There was nothing in this world that would stop her rage, her need to get back to family.
Eden growled, she would destroy these heartless, going against her original ideas as the dark rage took over. "Never AGAIN!" One unlucky NeoShadow felt the brunt of a powerful, magic influenced fire punch. Due to the caster's inexperience of magic, it exploded against her, creating a large, visible mushroom cloud.
Eden could only cry as her empty arms still felt heavy from the nobody's weight, she didn't even care to notice the heartless weren't coming for her... yet. But still, the rage started to grow, her hands felt warm, the King's pocketed keychain felt on fire. Someone had killed a mother's cub.
Eden noticed the Wyvern, seeing the direction it was heading. "Oh no... No no no no no. NEXAS!" She called out, allowing Nexas to pause a moment... and a moment was all they needed to destroy that nobody into nothing. "NO!" she screamed, not allowing someone to be lost. His body slowly was absorbed by the darkness swirling around him, and a little bit of the light within her. So this is real pain, was one of the few thoughts she had.
Within the middle of the dark beings, ready to eat more, a heart burned brightest for such a small ember. "Get away!" Eden grunted, fighting off multiple heartless of all sizes and shapes. Even a Large Body, though he looked quite thin at the moment, making him a much harder target.
Eden ran closer to the heartless, her heart on fire and her lungs grasping for air, legs aching, and eyes watering to the point she could only see blurs... and yet, she felt better then ever. She was going to fight, to save what little family she had. The heart of a lion, a hat had told her. And maybe in this instant... she believed it. But sadly, her vision of happiness was quickly brought to reality by Nexas' hard jump into the cluster, the darkness around them curling to his whim as he held them back. "Good job, hun! Just get me to anyone!" He nodded, and did as told, protecting the weaponless teen who was to fight war.
Kenna shifted her form to smoke, solidifying once Ciam had passed through. It was merely an instinct, as Kenna could not really think at such a time. "I... I apologize. I get nervous at brute force." her hands felt clammy, trying to keep a grip on the fake sword.
Kenna quickly caught the wooden sword quickly, staring at the unknown thing. "So, how should I start?" Her form grew, to the size of a normal human female, though smoke laced her every step.
Eden nodded to the mushrooms, patting one on the head. "Dear little heartless, thank you for assisting us, but we should be on o--" The screech of the Wyvern hit her ears, forcing her to look at the empty city sky. "No..." she mumbled, wanting to run back to the others. "Sora, Ellen, Andrew..." Her voice deeply saddened at the latter name, giving him one of the tightest hugs and the most emotional one. "Me and Nexas, I'm sorry Sora but I think we have to check on the others. Something doesn't feel right, I can almost smell it." Having been a heartless once, Eden was starting to notice the scent of darkness, but it was an odd, ever shifting scent. It was as if honey, cookies, and every imaginable sweet were all made at once, and the powerful aroma was sickening at times. "Just... Keep Andrew safe. Ellen, keep them safe." And so, Eden and Nexas started running off, the gold keychain of the King held tightly in her hand. Please, Mickey. I know I'm not a Keybearer, but this time I must use it. My family is in danger and I have to help them.
Eden held Andrew's hand, Nexas keeping close to her as she examined how warm the King's keychain was. It was really marvelous, how wonderfully crafted the chain was. Sooner or later however, she would regret holding onto such a thing, as her skin had a minor allergy to gold. She knew this, but she didn't really care.
Eden sighed. "I suggest the Road of Death, as that is a place to start. I will look further on for anything else." She informed Val as she ran off to not be left behind. "For us, the Mirror Lake."
"Opal Emotions." Eden stated bluntly. "Opals are bright, brittle, and colorful. Just like our hormonal team leader." She smirked, finding her joke teasing Sora, but in actuality it mixed two names that she and Andrew had. Opal Intentions and Invisible Emotions.
