Xone stepped out and pulled Mage with him. He didn't care about locals seeing him. "Hmmm...maybe up there." He pointed to the mountain. Xone's eye caught on the palace and he tapped his chin, "A bit of fair warning could do some good." he mumbled to himself.
Eden huffed and held his arm tightly, ice forming on it, "I'm only saying you should give it a try before heading off to who knows where. Where would you go anyway?"
Xone searched the darkness, "That's a shame that you can't remember your name, Mage. I'd hate it if I couldn't remember my name. Hmm, I wonder where Xenree went..." He pressed his hand into the darkness and shuddered, "Ah, the Land of Dragons. Not where she should've gone but a good bit of practice. Are you ready Mage?" He asked as the darkness parted for him giving way to a village scenery.
Eden frowned as Devlin hit the ground, she was sure he'd make a crater because of his thick skull if he hadn't so enjoyed his free flying. She noticed (Nick) a boy trying to sneak off and tugged on his arm, "Surely you're not going to let everyone else have all the fun are you?" Her shimmering wings were barely moving and yet she hovered at least four inches from the ground. Her white hair dripped water from the rain. Devlin cuaght his breath and copied everyone else. He enjoyed flying and seeing Eden start to talk to a boy he'd never met caught his interest. He'd never been the jealous type but he had just done something completely stupid. He stroked his tattoo and settled down on the ground.
Gabriel's smile only brightened, "My wife over there, Sorcha, and my beloved newborn son. I couldn't be a happier man." His smile died a little, "Though somedays if does feel like I fell from Heaven." He laughed and twirled her, his gray eyes turning an auburn colour, "There's nothing better than a day mixed with joy and sorrow."
Zane followed and scowled, "You know, if anything were to happen to you while you were with me, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself." He frowned at his words and shook his head, "Heh, when did I become such a sap?"
Xone laughed, "The darkness does have a rather foul smell to some. It's how we tell someone has chosen darkness over light." He chose not to listen as she talked about her burns, it reminded him of Xenree's goal. She'd have a lot of burns if she tried to complete it. He shook his head and looked down on the teen, "How rude of me, I haven't asked your name yet have I?"
Zane gripped her hand tightly and heaved her up next to him, "Jesus, don't do that to me. You scared the living daylights outta me, Mya." His heart was racing and he still clutched her hand tightly.
Zane made it across without a creak from the pipes and he held his hand out for Mya behind him.
OOC: Well I'm having fun with Xenree and Xone. I have to go to bed now, night! I'll see you tomorrow at 5.
OOC: Seriously? I just randomly picked. Though there's no princess there it's a good place for Xone to show off.
Xone couldn't feel pain anymore, not without his heart in his posession. He walked with Mage into Xenree's dark corridor. He sighed as darkness enveloped them, "Ah sweet darkness. Nothing could be better." World: Land of Dragons~Xenree walked until she couldn't walk anymore, "Why is this so hard." She dropped to her knees in the snow of the mountain top, "Finding a pure heart is harder than I thought." Xenree settled down in the snow and closed her eyes, falling asleep.
Xone hugged Mage tightly, she reminded him of Xenree when she was still young and cried all the time. "Don't worry, I'll be around." Drying her tears, he put the jar in her pocket, "Remember, I want this back. Now, you have a job to do little one. Let's get to it."
Xone tapped the jar and the heart glowed, "This is my heart. You take good care of it now, I'm gonna want it back later. Now, c'mon, or else Xenree'll get too far ahead." He hustled her toward the dark corridor and took her hand, I'll still come with you for a while, but once we find Xenree you and her are alone." he grinned and pulled her hood back up for her, "At least for a while. I'll be around...always."
He pulled his hood back up, "A heart is...a bright thing that is released from people when they're killed by the keyblade." He rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a small jar with a glowing object inside, "See here, this is a heart. I carry this around often so others can understand." He handed the jar to Mage and waved his hand about as he spoke, "Why she's looking for pure hearts is for me to know and you to find out. A pure heart will glow much brighter than this one though. You'll know who has a pure heart when Xen starts to take an interest in a person." He looked at her again, "Can I trust you to do this for me? Follow Xenree, keep track of the number of hearts she obtains and report to me when I show up."
Mickey looked down at the ground, "I'm sorry, but I can't go into the darkness. I don't belong there." Xone laughed and stood, "Come now, I'll go with you." His purple eyes smiling at her, "Only for a while though. Xenree doesn't like me much and this favor I have to ask of you. You see, Xen will travel to all the worlds looking for pure hearts. When she gets them, no matter the cost, she'll be a little bit more restless and aggrivated. I need you to tell me how many hearts she has the next time I see you. Do you think you can do that for me little one?"
He knelt down to her and rested his hand on her shoulder, "Follow her. Demand answers. Xenree won't lie to you if you directly ask. I should know...she taught me everything i know of the darkness. It's why I have to destroy her." He pulled back his hood and a kind, pale face watched her with pure purple eyes, "My name's Xone. Xenree taught me all she could back in our homeworld, before it was destroyed. Now I fear for her sanity. Without someone to guide, she might give in to her inner darkness. I need you to do something for me little one..."
Neverwhere
Mickey opened his mouth to speak when a man clad in the same black cloak as Xenree stepped from a different dark corridor, "Then don't you think following the darkness is the best path for you?" Mickey summoned his keyblade, "Who are you?" He ignored the King completely, "Xenree isn't the best one to teach you but she's the best you've got."
Eight is Enough
