Kingdom Hearts: SfE Part 2 - The Final Keyhole and the Mark of Mastery

Gexln followed quietly. He had not forgotten the moments of the past where he had lost control, and he had sworn never to lose control again, but there was a part deep inside of him yearning for it. He was powerhungry.

 

"Don't know what a Gryffindor is but I'm not one to ask about the qualities a keyblade looks for. I mean look at me. A happy-go-lucky Ditz, I admit that."Sora sighed. Valerie looked over to Gexln, going over to his side. "You alright over here?"she asked.

 

Gexln didn't notice Valeria for a few moments, deep in thought. He then realised he was being talked to. "Oh, uh..yeah i'm fine, just wanna get this thing over and done with" he said, lying intentionally.

 

Eden bit her lip, wanting to explain, but dismissed it. "Gryffindors are... those who are in a house at a fictional wizarding school. They are the house full of those Brave, and Courageous. Willing to do anything to help others, even if it means they almost gets them killed with their hot-headedness." she sighed. "I think you'd be the better one to have the house of a Lion then me."

 

"Aw, don't say that. You may be a bit stubborn and bossy at times but you seem like a good person."Sora smiled. "Okee dokee Loki... Oh! One thing I gotta warn you about. Sora's been kinda touchy lately with the whole 'having a baby' thing so try not to get his hormones acting up."Valerie said. "I can hear you, you know!"Sora said.

 

Gexln laughed quietly. "A hormone crazy Sora. Now that's going to be interesting, possibly even fun" he said.

 

"So..." Eden pulled his worked up attention back to her, to keep the hormonal Wielder at ease. "I uh... Your name means sky! Yes um... Are you good with Air magic?"

 

"Not really. Shocker huh? Actually I'm more talented with fire magic."Sora gave a small chuckle, ignoring the conversation with Valerie and Gexln. "Don't say that about Sora. As cute as he is like this, he can turn scary with mood swings."Valerie said.

 

"Never feared a keyblade wielder yet, and i very much doubt i ever will. Can't feel fear remember?" he said with a slight chuckle.

 

"Oh... I see... Guess we're on even ground then. I dunno, the first 'magic' I did was when I was losing myself..." Eden bitterly kept that memory away. "Ah, sorry. Fire."

 

"oh, right!"Valerie chuckled. "Hmm... I think I see you as a person for water magic... V-chans obviously got Thunder magic to a T. Riku was quite good with Ice magic before becomming a heartless..."Sora looked over to Jeffrey and Kairi. "Earth and for Kairi... Water and Air."Valerie said.

 

"Well, If I did water magic, I would put out my flame, no?" Eden weakly chuckled, though it did not lift her spirits entirely. She sighed once more, looking to the skies.

 

"Hey, can't blame a guy for making suggestions..."Sora smiled. "hmm...I wonder what day it is... Its easy to lose track of time when we're doing this..."Valerie sighed. "Hmm..."Sora took a quick look at his stomach. "I'd say probably late August... Maaaaybe early September." he said. "Why do you say that?" Valerie asked, tilting her head. "Because....Nevermind."Sora shook his head.

 

Eden shrugged. "Time isn't all that important." it was just an opinion, but still. "Is there any way to get to the gummi by calling it or something?"

 

"Well Riku had something to call the gummi ship if we could find his bag...."Sora said. "oh greeeeat."Valerie huffed.

 

Eden groaned. "It'll take too long to walk back, really." It wasn't that she was tired, and earlier she had lied. Time was quite important to her. "Wait... How long have we been away from home? You said it was August, right?"

 

"About Late August, early September at most."Sora specified. "So we've been doing this for... what, 8-9 months now?"Valerie sighed at the fought. "Hey. Saving the world take longer than you think it does."Sora said.

 

"We've been ripped from our homes for almost a year now..." Eden almost wanted to whimper at that, but though her eyes and throat burned, she held it back. Leaders don't cry. "Doesn't anyone here miss home? Valerie? Jeffery? Anyone?"

 

"I miss Nikolle, Ashley, Victoria, Beth... All my school friends. But other than that my life at home was always boring."Valerie shrugged. Sora shook his head at what Valerie said. "What about your family? Don't you miss them?"he asked. "Of course I do!"Valerie huffed.

 

"I miss my friends and family, too," Jeffrey said, "but it's nice to not have to worry about school or anything like that. It's like an extra-long Summer Vacation. One where we risk our lives, but still." He laughed.
