Aria happily followed Koa downstairs for breakfast. She almost, almost forgot she was caught up in this whole mess with how normal this morning seemed to be going verses yesterday. When they reached downstairs, Aria was greeted by the pleasant smell of breakfast, and lots of it. Her eyes widened as she took a second look and her mouth began to water. “W-wow! I hadn’t had seen this much food since... I don’t know when. Do you guys eat like this everyday?” She grabbed a plate and began to help herself to some pumpkin bread, some fruit, and then made a beautiful mini mountain of two waffles with peanut butter on them, drizzled in syrup. Deciding to balance out the sugar, she took a couple of sausages and pieces of baccon. She found a place to sit, and then went back to find some hot chocolate already warmed in a container. After grabbing a mug and filling it up, she carefully hurried back over to her spot and had a seat. She smiled and wiggled in her seat happily, only to look down and see all the breakfast she grabbed. “Whoops... I think my eyes are bigger than my stomach.” She giggled nervously, and waited for Koa to sit down before digging in. She couldn’t remember the last time she ate, and all this meal was such a good idea right now. “Gees this is a lot of food.”
She was half-expecting not to get an answer from Koa and was surprised when he gave her a brief summary as well. Aria’s eyes softened when he explained about his past, and losing a sibling to the chaos of the darkness. “I’m sorry... about your sister.” She stood from the bed and stretched her arms above her head. “I’m sure she’s out there, somewhere. Mika had lost her memories before she came to the castle. I bet someone was looking for her too.” She stretched one arm at a time across her body before rolling her shoulders and then offered Koa a smile. “We’ll get strong enough to get rid of this darkness once and for all. But first... um...” Her stomach growled and she smiled sheepishly. “Is there anything around here to eat? I’m kind of famished.”
Aria half-listened to Koa as she tried to fiddle with the bracelet. Finally, she was able to clasp it on and sighed out with relief. “That strangely makes sense,” Aria said as she shook her wrist out to test out how the bracelet fitted. Satisfied, she nodded her head and glanced around for a hairbrush. Finding one that looked unused on a nightstand, she grabbed it and carefully began to brush out the knots in her hair. “Thank you for staying around to check up on me,” Aria said with a smile as she turned to Koa. “It’s nice to see somewhat of a familiar face around here. I know it’s not fun to babysit, but I appreciate it.” After getting the knots out of her hair and restyling it, she sat on the edge of the bed and put her shoes back on. “So have you always been alone before meeting the Light Chaser? Or did you have family or friends before all of this mess?” She pulled her knees up to her chest and hugged them to her. “You kind of know my story already. I grew up on a farm. I learned some fighting skills from and old sage who lived in the woods close by because we had monsters that would sneak into the farm. I had to leave my mom and dad behind when the Darkness first showed up. Master Choma helped put a stop to it before it got bad... and then I met my teammates Tinnarah and Mika.” She sighed out and then lowered one leg to let it dangle off the bed. “So that’s kind of my story in a nutshell. What’s yours?”
"Hm? Oh yeah, I'm peachy," she said as she leaned against the door frame. She slipped and flailed her arms, catching herself as she wrapped the quilt tightly around her again. "Oh, he did? That's nice," Aria said with a nervous chuckle as she could only imagine what she looked like to Koa right now based on the look on his face. She blinked and then lifted her eyebrow, looking down to see the gold bracelet. "Ooo, pretty... That's really nice too," she said quietly as she took it from him. She studied it for a moment, wondering if she should take a gift from this unknown being... But it would be rude not to. He did save her life after all, which hung over her head. Shrugging to herself, she moved inside of her room and laid her wrist on a dresser. The quilt fell away from her shoulders and landed in a pile on the floor, yet there was nothing to hide from. She was in her clothes from the night before, having changed out of them, only to change back into them once more just in case she had to leave in a short notice. "Koa, do you have a hard time sleeping? Cause I sure did last night." She stuck out her tongue as she concentrated on making the clasp fit on the other part of the bracelet on her wrist. "It's probably cause I'm away from my teammates and Master Choma... And I'm still a little confused on everything..." She sighed out and blew a lose strand of hair from her eyes and then tried the clasp again. "Like... how exactly does the Light Chaser see me as a princess of light? Can he read auras or something? And how do I know for sure I am what he says I am... If he'd told me I was a chicken, I'd half-believe it right now, you know?"
Woooow, has it really been more than a year since I posted in here? Dx Sheesh Welp, finally got something done. xD If I get in trouble for posting here after a year hiatus, sorryyyyyy. I just wanted to limit my singing to one thread. Here's my most recent project: YouTube Description: Obviously I was in the Halloween spirit, and this is a song I grew up loving to do all the voices to. I did it once before, but that was a long time ago. I loved how this one turned out. The picture on the video of the creepy looking person is me~ :3 Okay, so obviously, the really REALLY deep voices are not my natural voices. Since I did this solo, I had to modify some voices to sound close to the original chorus as possible. So these are the original voices I DID do without editing it or modifying it: ~The ghosts ~All the witchy sounding voices ~Most of the choruses ~Stair Monster (teeth grown sharp and eyes glowing red) ~The Vampires ~The Mayor ~The Werewolf ~The Skeletons ~The creepy Kids at the gulitin and fountain ~The parents of one of the creepy kids ~THAT INSANE WITCH LAUGH AT THE END. THAT WAS ALL ME Everything else was my voice, but modified to sound like a dude or really creepy. All copyrights for the original song go to their respected owners. All is mine is my photograph and my voice. Thank you for listening!
Ooooo, everyone sounded so spooky~ @Marushi your harmony really matched my voice well! <3 Way to have the guts to try it out! Most people who harmonize have a hard time with it, but you did great
The sudden knock on the door made Aria sit up with a snort. She sat there dazed for a moment, smacking her lips and looking around the room in a sleepy manner. She did not even see the sun up yet, and wondered what time it was. Granted she was used to getting up at early hours in the morning because her life on the farm, but she didn’t have the best sleep. Her night was full of tossing and turning, thinking about everything that had happened yesterday in a short period of time. She was finally in a deep sleep when it was suddenly disturbed, but she figured she got all the rest she needed. Groaning softly after stretching her arms above her head, she slipped out of bed. Finding it to be a bit cold, she grabbed the quilt on top of the bed and wrapped it around herself. She padded to the door with the quilt dragging on the floor, and opened it partway. When she saw a familiar face, she smiled a little. “Oh, hi Koa.” Her hair was a mess, sticking up in various areas, and her eyes looked rather tired. She yawned and turned her head away to save him from the potienal morning breath. “What’s up? Is it time to go?” She asked as she hugged the quilt around her body and then ran a hand through her messy mane.

The Light Chaser answered most of her questions, but not all of them. If she was going to survive this, she was going to have to play along. Nothing would progress if she kept doubting or resisting the situation. She was outnumbered, and clearly outranked. The vision of Tinarah with her older brother though made her feel a bit at ease. At least one of them was safe from this place and the situation. Aria looked up to see that night was coming on. It was strange that a sleeping world still followed the patterns of daylight and nighttime. She glanced to the Light Chaser when he told her she should get some rest and she could return to her friends in the morning... She gradually nodded her head and bowed her head respectfully to the Light Chaser. "Thank you for taking care of me, and for returning Tinarah back to my friends." She wondered if she was really going to be reunited with the group again... If the Light Chaser needed her to do something with this Kingdom Hearts, why let her go? Her mind was still abuzz with curiosity, but her body told her it was time to take a break and figure things out in the morning again.

At this point, Aria had little to no choice but to take the Light Chaser's words for it. She looked up at the cloaked man as he spoke and then glanced back at the image being shown to her. She felt her mouth go dry when she saw all the darkness surrounding their current world and swallowed a lump in her throat. Her little mind was quickly putting two and two together as she observed her surroundings. "So... I am what's attracting the darkness. And if I try to leave, all the monsters will swarm and we'll be swallowed in Darkness. And I suppose... since you put this world in a 'sleeping state', you're also powerful enough to put some kind of barrier around this place... to protect me and what's left of this place." Aria sighed out and rubbed the back of her neck, seeing that Chrys had left in a hurry. All these apprentices sure always had places to be and things to do. She went back to the situation at hand, her green eyes studying the Light Chaser. "And you probably have enough power to dispel the darkness, but you need more power to be rid of it completely... right? Thats what you said. That's where I come in, and this Kingdom Hearts... but Master Atmos and Choma don't agree with what you're doing. Why? I know they probably don't understand... Is this going to upset the balance of darkness and light at first and cause a lot destruction and conflict?" Her eyebrows creased in worry as she looked up at the quiet sky. "No is going to get hurt though, right? And how was Tinarah able to leave? She didn't get attacked by the heartless, right? Did she really get back with everyone else?"
