In the years before the First Keyblade War the worlds existed as one whole world one bright shining star filled with light no darkness in site everyday the light of kingdom hearts filled the world and everyone was happy as the Guardian of Kingdom Hearts the wielder of the X-Blade watched over all no Keyblade's were needed no Keyblade but the X-Blade existed peace prospered but Peace can't last forever.

 

The one true World has existed for hundreds and hundreds of years, generations have lived out there lives in peace never knowing or seeing war but now it is finally coming to an end the last generation who could ever say that is meeting its end as the Generation that shall give birth to War step into the light and darkness is born.

 

The Guardian of Kingdom Hearts has had enough and his time to step forth and purify the world is here. Is there anyway to stop a God of Light with his eye's set on the destruction of the human race only time will tell.

Another day in the glorious city of Radiant Garden. The sun was shining, birds were singing and all of the citizens of the city were peacefully going about their daily business... except of course for the troublesome freight train skating around the city, known as Nagito. "Hey! Watch where you're skating you little-...!" Said a passerby, but the person he was talking to had already left. Nagito laughed to himself as he zoomed through the city, jumping down stairs and grinding along rails that he shouldn't, all on his favourite compact skateboard. "These old farts never seem to realise that I can do whatever I want, it's pointless trying to stop me." Nagito ground to a halt, flicking his skateboard up from the floor and into his hand. From one of his pockets, he took out a spray paint can and began painting over an empty wall behind a building. He wasn't vandalising for the sake of being annoying to others who would end up having to wash it off, but because he felt like it was a creative way of expressing how he felt. It also served as a way for him to pass the time as he spent most of his days alone in the city. "And~... finished! Let's see how those guys like this one." Nagito put the spray can back into his pocket and jumped onto his skateboard without wasting another second, leaving behind an artwork of what looked like a dark beach with a crescent moon hanging above it. "Now that I've got that off my mind, let's go find something to eat. I'm starving!" Nagito dashed off, leaving just as quickly as he had arrived, always looking for something to do.

"...so then the bandits went off running with their tail between their legs, and that's how I saved the village of Eternal Summer and their beloved prince and his fiancee, Makoto and Haru."Sinbad spoke, telling obvious lies about the adventures he has never had outside the city. With his charms and way of storytelling, the ladies seemed to either believe it, pretend to believe it, or simply not care. Sinbad took one of the girl's hands ever so gently, winking at her as the girl's friend rolled her eyes annoyed at the fact that her friend was falling for this crap. "You know you remind me very much of a Queen I once met when I was in my adventures. Have you ever heard of the Kingdom of Arandelle?" But before Sinbad could start his other story, he was interrupted by the yells of some of the guards. "COME BACK HERE YOU STREET RAT!" Sinbad looked up and was almost thrown off his balance by the running guards. Looking to see what they were chasing after, his expression changed into one of annoyance. There she went again. Runa had stolen a basket of bread from one of the markets, and was running away from the guards. "(Not again, and to think we leave tomorrow!)"Sinbad thought as he gently facepalmed. The two had raised enough money to finally leave the city and start looking for adventures outside the sandy city of Agrabah. Yet Runa's thievery remained just as intact. If she ended up stealing in other cities and get caught they would be in more trouble than what they bargained for. "Forgive me, miladies! I must find and catch that thief myself! Excuse me~"Sinbad said, creating himself a valid excuse before bowing to the girls and running off right behind the guards. Watching as the guards did their best to catch Runa, they were caught off guard when Runa jumped onto one of the towers and started to climb it with not much difficulty if any at all. "What are you waiting for?! The stairs, the stairs!"The guards yelled at each other as they resumed to run inside the building and run up the stairs to reach to the top. Sinbad watched in amusement. Runa reached the very top of the tower, looking down to see exhausted guards climbing onto the roof to try to get her. She watched them surround her, apparent that there was no where else to run. At least, that's what the guards thought, before watching Runa extend her arms and let herself drop from the very top of the building. "NO NOT AGAIN!"One of the guards yelled as they were about to jump after her, but they stopped just in time to realize how much of a stupid idea that was, seeing that they would most likely jump to their deaths. "WHERE DID SHE GO?!" "I don't know but...how do we get down?!" Meanwhile the Falling Runa remained calm as she spun in her fall, landing on a wooden board, then jumping onto a clothing line, and then letting herself drop into a pile of haystack. "That trick is going to end up wearing out soon."Sinbad muttered to himself, watching as Runa stepped out of the haystack and brushed the hay off her. She quickly revealed pieces of bread to the awaiting small crowed in front of her. "Take as many as you need. Remember to share."Runa spoke, and the people took pieces of bread while thanking Runa. Before Runa could watch the entire basket empty, Sinbad grabbed her by the ear, pulling her while scolding. "I thought I told you to keep a low profile!"Sinbad hissed. "But they needed the food!" "You're grounded until we leave! We're heading home now!" "But-" "No buts! Now!" And with that Sinbad pulled Runa away from the scene before anymore guards would appear. Just an everyday routine for the noble and the bandit.

(well at this point i think I've waited long enough for Emerald to post there introduction so I'm going to go ahead and begin the story plot)

 

"Bandits, Thieves, Traitors, Selfishness, Disrespect the Human race is truly nothing but a flawed existence they have no right to live under the glory of your light my Lord Kingdom Hearts I as your Guardian shall make an example out of a number of them and show the rest of them what is yet to come from there flawed existence thanks to the radiant power you have bestowed upon me I know the future that the current human race will bring the world to and i must put a stop to it rest assured owe Great Kingdom Hearts I shall protect you from all harm as your Guardian" Upon saying that a cloaked being stop up walking away from the light of the heart shaped moon.

 

Throughout the world the sky suddenly began to grow dark as a voice echoed throughout the world "Human's i have watched you for thousands of years and i have judged you all are nothing more then the Mother of Darkness your existence must be extinguished if the world is to ever have a chance of surviving i shall now draw verdict on 100 humans to show you just how serious i am" Suddenly through the world people began to vanish within the blink of an eye people including Tristan, Runa, Sinbad and Nagito along with many others.

 

Suddenly along with everyone else who had disappeared Tristan reappeared in a large dark space "Wh...what the what's going on, I suddenly hear a voice and then I'm not in the same place anymore" as the last of the 100 summoned appeared the area they were presently in turned white as everyone slightly panicked a figured in a white robbed appeared looking down upon them all "You 100 were chosen as the first 100 to face your end prepare to die as the symbol to humanity of what is yet to come your blood shall paint the future of your entire kind" shaking slightly from the figures words Tristan forced his fear and confusion aside as he spoke out "Who are you and why are you doing this?!" Noticing Tristan as he spoke the figure smirked "Courage i figured no one here would have enough to speak well considering I'm about to kill you I'll agree it's only fair you know the reason why" Slowly removing the rob it wore the figure revealed its appears a young looking with long red hair "My name is Serena but you may refer to me as The Guardian i was the entity tasked with protecting the great Kingdom Hearts and destroying any entity that may bring destruction to the world and after centuries of watching i have come to the conclusion that humanity is one such entity Humanity is nothing more then the Mother of Darkness" As Serena said the word darkness the people present looked to one another confused as Tristan once again spoke out "Darkness? What's that?" "Ah yes i do keep forgetting although you seem to be beings of darkness you do not understand the concept for centuries you humans have lived within the light of the great Kingdom Hearts nothing bad has ever truly happened to you all you have all lived relatively comfy lives thanks to the light but slowly you have been butchering the light unbeknownst to you all and have been replacing it with its polar opposite Darkness a power that exists and feeds off all unhappy and cruel emotions humanity is nothing more then walking vessels is that very power humanity is darkness itself and it is for that reason i must destroy the human race" with his fear now completely pushed aside Tristan looked to Serena "Hypocrite your Human same as us and yet i don't see you offering your own life" Smirking at Tristan's remark Serena spoke "True i might have been human but that was a long time ago i only hold this form now due to the fact the current you would not be able to withstand my true form I may have been human once but ever since becoming The Guardian of Kingdom Hearts i have long since discarded my former shell now then i have talked long enough your time is up i shall dispose of you all here and now" slowly raising her right hand a bright light flashed as a strange sword appeared within Serena's hand "No way it can't be that's the..." "The X-Blade correct and I shall use it to purify True World in the hopes of returning it to its former glory to a time before Humanity" Raising the X-blade above her head with and swift strike down Serena released released an incredible shock wave from the blade as sharp as the blade itself the shock wave rushed through the crowd of people killing anyone it make contact with instantly anyone who survived the first attack looked to the massacre that laid on the ground in front of them in horror glad had survived the first attack Tristan roared towards Serena "And you call us the Mother of Darkness how can you call something like this the worlds salvation" "You are to weak to understand" Suddenly disappearing and reappearing in front of Tristan Serena smirked "Although i must admit i am impressed by courage its rare a human like you is seen" "You say that after...(cough) stabbing me" Looking down to his chest Tristan could see the X-blade piercing his body "Actually I'm more impressed by the fact your still alive after being struck by the X-blade but not just you" Looking to the pile of sliced bodies a number of people even after being struck by the X-blades attack could still be seen moving somehow they had survived the strike "Interesting i did not foresee something like this happening let me see" Pulling the X-blade from his chest Tristan fell to the ground in agony coughing out blood due to his wound as he did Serena looked around seeing around 40 or so people still standing "Lets see then shall we" Suddenly vanishing from sight the 40 or so people still standing began to drop like flies as they were cut down one by one until not a single person could stand due to injury or death looking around Serena noticed a number of people even after the wounds they had received remained breathing all be it if barely "interesting anyone struck by the X-blade should of instantly died due to the power within the blade but somehow some of you survived this revolution changes matters i must make contact with Kingdom Hearts to understand what i should due next as for any of you who survived this ordeal I hope for your sake where ever i took you from is somewhere near help (snap)" snapping her fingers everyone within her self created space suddenly disappeared and reappeared to where ever they had been before being taken.

 

Suddenly reappearing within the Land of Dragons mountain area Tristan dropped into a pillow of snow still bleeding heavily and trying to hold his wound "A...at this ra...rate i'll e...either b...bleed or fr...freeze to d...death dam tha... wo...m...en" saying that Tristan lost consciousness

 

(and Thus the Plot begins)

 

Serena The Guardian

(Sorry, got kind of wrapped up and was unavailable to make a first post.)

 

Nikolai rolled over on his side, and pushed himself up. He clutched the wound in his side. That had very certainly been odd, and he'd have pushed it away as a dream.... Except for the gaping stab wound in his right side. He kept steady pressure on it, but it made little difference. The Prince's formerly white shirt was slowly succumbing to a wave of deep red blood. He glanced up, seeing the castle of Arendelle, the country he had been visiting, a little bit away. Prince Nikolai began to stagger towards it, his vision beginning to blur. He just needed to get some medical attention.... Then everything would be fine.

Countless bodies surrounded him. Death seemed imminent. "(What is this? This has got to be some kind of dream, right?)" Nagito's body close to being lifeless, his gaze traced up towards the guardian as she thrust her magnificent X-Blade through a boy his age. "(They're talking... but I can't hear anything. Ahhh, I'm bleeding. When did that happen?)" Nagito's eyes closed, as he was warped back to the streets of Radiant Garden. "(I can't die, right? That dangerous situation... I want to do more things that get me excited like that.)"

 

Nagito coughed, opening his eyes and sitting up slowly. But as soon as he did, he had many others trying to hold him down, telling him to rest and take it easy. Nagito's eyes were dull. He was completely unaware of his current situation. He looked around cautiously, taking in everything that he could see. "(This looks like a hospital room. So these people must be nurses and doctors. But why am I here?)" Nagito was forced to lie back down as he winced in pain. He looked down to see several layers of bandages covering over his skin. "(I was injured? Then that would mean...)" Nagito's eyes began to widen slightly as he became aware of the situation he had been involved in. "(... all of that was real?)" His expression was quite confusing to the doctors and nurses that were with him, as he almost seemed to be happy. " I... need to... go..." Nagito sat up once again. This time however, the hospital's staff were unable to hold Nagito down, even with their combined strength. "Sir, you've only just woken up! You won't be able to go anywhere with those injuries!" Nagito had froze, as a simple question had failed to enter his mind since that point. "How long... have I been unconscious?" The doctor hesitated, feeling an odd sense of authority coming from Nagito's voice. "Roughly a week. You were found bleeding in the streets and were brought here for treatment." "A week huh?" Nagito moved to get up, shifting out of the bed and onto his feet. "These wounds hurt a little, but I think I can at least walk around. Where are my clothes?" "They're in the draw over there, but I implore you, rest for another two weeks." Nagito walked past the doctor and headed over to where his clothes were said to be. "No can do pops. I have to find someone quickly. I've already lost a week, so I need to start looking before they end up dead." Nagito took out his clothes from the draw, and to his delight, they had been stitched back together and washed. "Awesome~ Now I don't have to fix it myself." Nagito turned to the doctor with a smile. "Thanks for the help, but I don't need you any more." "Huh?" Nagito was smiling to himself, unable to contain his feelings. "I've finally found an exciting adventure to go on."

~A Week Ago~ 

Sinbad dragged Runa all the way to their secret base, or more specifically, the terrace on Sinbad's house. Runa taking a seat on a cushion, she got ready for the expected long hour speech about why she should keep her cover low and stop doing stunts. Sinbad cleared his throat. "Now listen here-"Sinbad started, but as he did the loud voice boomed across the sky. Sinbad blinked once, and the both of them were suddenly in some place completely different, surrounded by strangers no less. Sinbad had to blink a few times to make sure he wasn’t hallucinating. “…I’m pretty sure that there must’ve been something in that mushroom…”Sinbad muttered, but Runa quickly confirmed that he wasn’t the only one seeing this. “Where the hell are we?!” Runa jumped onto her feet, looking around as she quickly stood right next to Sinbad. “Who are these people? How did we even get here?” Sinbad quickly wrapped his arm around Runa protectively. “Don’t worry Runa, I’ll figure it out.” Sinbad assured. Liar. He was as confused as she was. Soon the two watched as the scene before them unraveled. The woman who called herself a Guardian, the boy, and the fact that…they had to die. “DIE?!”Runa asked frantically. Sinbad’s eyes widened in horror.  “(What the hell is going on? What’s Darkness?!)”Sinbad thought. He had never heard any of this in his history books, nor seen such a weapon or description of it within the library archives.  Before he could even protest, or ask out loud, he felt a sudden sharp pain go across his body. Being slashed by the woman, he fell on his knees, blood splattering everywhere as others fell with him. Runa screamed at the sight. “Sinbad!” Sinbad fell face first against the floor, feeling the warm blood of himself and from others spreading on the floor, damping his skin and clothing. “W…What…w…why…R…”Sinbad whispered, only to be silenced by blood and saliva building up in his throat. Runa hurried over to Sinbad, tainting her feet with the warm blood of innocents before she was struck as well. Sinbad didn’t see it, even as he looked directly at Runa at the moment. It just seemed that Runa had been struck by an invisible lightning, her body arching up with wide eyes before slash marks appeared all over her body, and blood splattered as it rained down on Sinbad’s face. “R…Runa…!!!”Sinbad struggled to hiss. Runa fell down onto the floor on her side, eyes wide as she remained unmoving. To a fearful Sinbad, she looked dead. “No…” In the moment of a blink, they were suddenly back at their terrace. The sun was setting and the cushions absorbed the now spreading crimson liquid. Sinbad has absolutely no idea what had just happened, but he had no time to think about it right now. His fight or flight moment kicking in, he dragged himself across the floor, leaving traces of blood behind before he was able to reach the house’s medical kit. He wasn’t going to die this way. Not today.

 

~Present Moment~

 

Runa slowly opened her eyes, feeling the world around her move. As it turns out it wasn’t the world that was moving, but her, or at least whatever was carrying her. Looking up at the apparent tent over her, she started to move, but quickly stopped at the sharp pain that struck across her. “GAH!” “You should rest some more. The stitches will need some more time to heal up.” Runa looked to the side, seeing Sinbad sitting on the leading seat of the carriage as he drove with horses. “Where are we?”Runa asked. “Traveling. We’re almost out of the Agrabah country.”Sinbad explained as he smiled. Runa blinked a few times. “…almost out? How long have I been asleep?!” “About a week.” “Oh, wait. What happened exactly?” “I don’t know. But we’re going to find out.”

(just saying this now but nobody make it so that they suddenly get a keyblade after the attack there's a special process that will be preformed to forge a Keyblade unlike in the actual Kingdom Hearts I'll go through it with Tristan soon so you all understand when you chose to give your characters keyblade's)

 

Serena:

Arriving in front of a beautifully vast lake that reflected the radiant light of a heart shaped moon Serena arrived knelling before the glorious scenery "Owe my dear Kingdom Hearts I attempted to begin the purifying process of True World by riding it of its darkness but after my attempt i return confused please owe my dear Kingdom Hearts how can it be that simple humans could survive a strike from the X-blade how can such a thing be possible?" remaining silent for a few moments a process of events unfolded inside Serena's mind "I see so that's how if that is indeed that case how would you wish me to proceed next?" Once again Serena remained silent as a series of events once again played through her mind "I understand if this is what my dear Kingdom Hearts see's as the next step then I shall take it once the time is right" a serious look filled Serena's face as she stood up bowing to kingdom hearts one last time before walking away and out of sight.

 

Tristan:

Feeling exhausted Tristan slowly opened his eyes and attempted to sit up as he did this he felt a sharp pain coming from his chest quickly Tristan put his hand to his chest towards the point he felt the pain as he did this he noticed the bandages wrapped around his chest "what the someone bandaged up my wounds" after noticing the bandages Tristan finally looked around him noticing he was no longer in the same location he was before "what the how did i get out of the cold" "owe your finally awake!" suddenly hearing a young girls voice from behind Tristan turned to see a young women carrying a bowl of hot water "am I'm guessing your the one who bandaged up so I guess i better say thank you" walking over to Tristan and placing the bowl of hot water down beside him the girl also sat down beside Tristan "owe no need for thanks i was just doing what anyone else would but i must say to receive such an injury and to still be breathing never mind the fact your already able to move only after just waking up" Looking at the girl questioning something Tristan spoke "Am sorry but how long was i out for might i ask" "owe roughly about a week the fact you woke up at all after the events you went through I'm stunned" "Event's?" "Yes the incident with the women who called herself the Guardian" Looking to the girl stunned Tristan spoke "You saw that!" "Yes in fact i'd be more surprised by hearing someone didn't I'm not sure how but some how the Guardian made it so everyone who wasn't taken by her saw the event inside there minds at first many people began to think nothing of it but a hallucination that was until people began to find the bodies of those who had been taken and those few lucky ones who somehow managed to survive after that there was no denying the events that took place last week" "So everything that happened really did happen after all and i have my own injuries to prove it actually i almost forgot my name's Tristan nice to meet you and thanks for looking after me the last week" "Nice to meet you Tristan my name's Chloe" shaking hands after there greeting Tristan looked around the room he was in "so Chloe where exactly are we right now?" "owe it's my home along the lower half of the mountain" "wait you dragged me from the top of the mountain town to the foot" "Owe don't worry I'm use to carrying things you were actually rather light compared to some of the other stuff i've carried down that mountain haha" 

Nagito was finally out of the hospital and decided to head straight home to pack, receiving stares from everyone that passed him. "(They all must know about what happened... I bet they're wondering why I survived while so many died. Well, it's not like I know either.)" Nagito arrived at his apartment block, taking out a large back pack out from underneath his bed, filling it with a couple of clothes and a few gadgets. Within half an hour, Nagito had filled his bag to its maximum capacity. "Good, now all that's left to do is..." Nagito smiled, his eyes glinting with pleasure as he dashed into his kitchen, opening the door to his fridge. "... to devour the food of the gods." Reaching into the fridge, the White haired boy pulled out an extravagant cake and set it on a table, sitting down to eat it all in one go. A normal human would never be able to eat an entire three tiered cake in one sitting, but Nagito liked to think of himself as someone with a super sweet tooth. It took less than ten minutes for the enormous cake to be reduced to crumbs, and without wasting another second, Nagito headed towards a window. "Looks like the day has finally come where I'll get to leave this city. Not that I couldn't before, but something about this place just seemed way too fun." With another smile to himself, Nagito grabbed his bag and skateboard, leaving the apartment for an unknown amount of time. "I'll come back one day, and when I do, I'm sure everything will have changed. Now, where shall I begin my journey?"

 

Nagito glided through the city on his skateboard, heading for the main entrance while deciding on what to do. "Hmmmm... I wanna look for that guy who survived the Guardians attack, but I've no idea where to start looking." Nagito closed his eyes and crossed his arms in thought, still casually skateboarding out of the city. "Well, he could've been anywhere in the world, right? There's no way I could find him any time soon, so I guess I'll just have some fun instead!" A wide smile grazed his face, Nagito began to pick up speed as he began leaning forward on his board. "Where should I go first? The Olympus Coliseum, world famous for holding sporting events among the worlds strongest fighters? Twilight Town where the Struggle championships are held? Oh! Maybe I should go to some other place like Agrabah or the Land of Dragons. I could take the wheels off my board and glide across the sand or snow! AHHH! I can't make up my mind!" Nagito was yelling aloud while trembling with excitement. "(Whatever the case, I need to know what that feeling was. That feeling of danger and excitement, I want to experience it again.)" It was then that Nagito had made up his mind. "Okay, Olympus Coliseum it is! I'm sure I'll find really strong fighters and magic users while I'm there. Yeah, this going to be great!" Nagito set off at full speed, finally making his mind up on his destination.

 Runa sat next to Sinbad as he drove and looked down at a map at the same time. “Where will we be heading?” Runa asked. “I’m really not very sure. I think right at the edge of the dessert we should encounter a few plains, and after that we’ll either wonder into Olympus or Pride Lands.” Sinbad explained as he looked down at the map. “What kind of places are those?” Runa asked excitedly, waving her feet back and forth. “I’ve read books and news from Olympus. It’s a country famous for its tournaments. Pride Lands isn’t inhabited by humans, however.” Sinbad explained as he pointed at the map, showing where Pride Lands was and the small drawing of a fierce looking lion. “The Pride Lands is practically wild territory for lions and other fierce creatures. Unless we want to end up turning into their next meal, we should stay away from them.” Sinbad said as he folded up the map and got it back within his clothing. “Which will we end up going in then?” “I really don’t know. The two countries are right next to each other and both are at the end of this desert. We’ll have to cross our fingers and hope we end up in Olympus instead of Pride Lands.” Runa retreated back into the shaded part of the small carriage, resting down on the wooden floor of it. “All of those people died…but some survived…do you think we will meet any of them in our journey?”Runa asked. Sinbad paused to think. “…I don’t know. We’ll have to see how destiny runs its course and all. We could end up meeting them, we could end up not meeting them, we could end up meeting that crazy witch that called herself guardian or whatever. Whichever happens, nothing will be able to stop us. Besides, I have my dad to find. Maybe he will know something.” Sinbad said cheerfully. He could barely remember his dad, it had been long ago since he had left Sinbad behind. The only clue would be that he was a merchant like Sinbad, and that the two were very much alike appearance wise. “(That woman was nuts…why…why us though? She said something about sacrificing us…but why did we live?)” Runa looked up at Sinbad. “Think we’ll meet someone in the desert on the way?”Runa asked. “I guess we could end up meeting someone. But they’re most likely well equipped and all. Only dummies would wander the desert unprepared.”

After exiting Radiant Garden, Nagito had found himself having to cross a desert in order to reach the Olympus Coliseum. However, he had soon enough lost his way and was not as prepared as he had imagined. For the first few hours, Nagito had been happily sand surfing, taking off the wheels on his skateboard and gliding along the sand on his board, but he soon found himself craving something to drink due to the intense heat of the sun. That was when he had realised that he hadn't brought any water with him. Nagito mumbled to himself in thought as he continued his way across the desert, thinking: "It can't be that much further, right?" But in actuality, Nagito was nowhere close to Olympus Coliseum as it would usually take someone a week to get there from Radiant Garden by foot. A few hours had passed and Nagito was already beginning to drag his feet. "Man~ This sucks..." Nagito stared at the sky, wiping sweat from his brow, sighing in annoyance. "Why is it so hot~? I officially hate the desert." Nagito eventually found a large stone pillar that stuck out of the sand and decided to sit in its shade for a while. "This desert is so big~ ... I've gotta be almost out by now. Yeah, so I'll just take a rest by here." Resting his head back against the pillar and thinking nothing of it, Nagito fell asleep, falling over until he was once again exposed to the sun, appearing as someone lost in the desert. It was during this time that Nagito had gotten a peculiar dream.

 

Traverse Town, a home to those without a home. A place where everyone is treated as equals, no matter where they're from. It was here in this small town that Nagito grew up. "Woah~! The rest of the world looks like so much fun! I'd really like to see it all one day." "Maybe you will Nagito, but for now, you need to look after yourself until you're old enough to go on those wild adventures you keep dreaming about." At this time, Nagito was only an eight year old, appearing as a very short individual with strangely white hair. "You're very special Nagito, you know that? White hair is a unique trait to have, even in the True World and a personality like yours is like none other." Nagito smiled, feeling happy that he was being praised so much. "But you have white hair like me too, so you must be pretty special as well!" "... Thank you Nagito, but I'm undeserving of your kind words." "Huh? Why not?" "Because even though I was supposed to look after you, I had to leave you with someone else." "That's okay, I know how busy you are, so don't worry about me. When I get older, I'll be big and strong just like. So, do your best bi-" All of a sudden, the dream began to fade and Nagito found himself floating alone. Nagito looked around, getting agitated all of a sudden, shouting out in multiple directions. "No... Not again! Just show me a little more! I need to know who you are!" Nagito then appeared on a dark beach with a crescent moon hanging above it, the same one as he had painted on the walls of Radiant Garden. A voice echoed from out of the sea, directing itself towards him. "We'll meet again one day Nagito, but for now... Stay asleep." "Wait! I don't understand! ... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!!"

Sinbad smiled at the sight in front of him, quickly nudging Runa. “Runa wake up. We found a Desert Rock.” Sinbad said. In the shape of a large pillar, the Porous rock stood tall with small holes all over its surface, much like a sponge. Stopping the carriage right beside it, Sinbad jumped and took out a cantaine and a strange looking two headed straw. “Bathroom break, Runa.” Sinbad announced as he got the end of the straw into one of the holes of the rock, another end inside the mouth of the cantine, and the other end in his mouth. Starting to suck up the air, water trapped in the rock went from inside the rock cravices to the cantine. Even if it was small amounts, it would be something in the end. Runa jumped off the carriage, walking around the large rock exploring, before tripping on something. “OOF!” Runa fell face first on the sand below. Muttering curses to herself, she turned to see what she had tripped on…it was a boy. “Heh?! Sinbad! There’s someone in here!” Runa called. Sinbad stopped the water absorption and hurried over where Runa was, to indeed find someone laying down on the sand. A white haired boy covered in sweat. “That’s strange…where’s is caravan, or his camel or horse?” Sinbad asked, looking around. Besides them, there was no sign of anything useful around. No other people, no transportation, no nothing. “We should open him up and see if his organs are still intact. If we hurry and end up meeting one of the caravans, we can sell them to the black market for good money. I know a guy that knows a guy-“ Runa spoke, but was quickly dismissed by Sinbad. “We aren’t going to sell his organs to the black market! He’s still alive!” Sinbad yelled at his young friend. He then stopped for a moment. “But I don’t want to waste water in waking him up…oh I got an idea.” Sinbad said as he turned away, and soon came back with a jar of honey. He spread the honey all over the kid’s face, and then had the horses lick the honey on the face, in hopes that the cold saliva would wake the kid up. 

Sitting by a table with a cup warm tea sitting in front of him "Chloe i really have to say thanks again for all your doing for me" Entering into the room Tristan was in from the doorway that lead to the kitchen Chloe looked to Tristan shaking her head "That's enough now Tristan there's no need for you to keep on thanking me i just did the naturally good thing" "Even so" Sitting down at the table directly across from Tristan Chloe reached into her pocket and pulled out a folded up handkerchief "By the way Tristan now seems like the best time to mention this but when i was tending to your wounds i pulled this out of one of the cuts" Placing the handkerchief down on the table Chloe pushed it over to Tristan. Upon receiving the handkerchief Tristan unfolded the fabric to find a small shard of metal inside "Hum metal you say that you found it inside one of cuts" "Ya at first i figured it could of come from anything but then when i tried to grasp it with my hand when cleaning your wound this happened" reaching towards the shard of metal Chloe's hand received a slight shock just before touching the shard so she quickly pulled back "whenever i tried to take it with my bare hand that happened to take it out of your injury i eventually had to us a pliers" "well that's weird" looking at the shard of metal confused Tristan noticed the metals color "hum strange the color of the shard of metal looks similar to the blade of the X-blade wait no it couldn't be could it" quickly coming to a new assumption about the shard of metal placed in front of him unlike Chloe before him Tristan was able to touch the shard without receiving a shock. Taking the shard and holding it in the palm of his hand Tristan stared at the shard questioning it "It must be a shard of metal from the X-blade it must of broken off when The Guardian tried to take me down but i wonder those the fact i can touch this shard without receiving a shock mean I'm different to those who do receive it i wonder if all the others who survived that innocent would be the same as me when holding this shard?" "I don't know Tristan" "owe no sorry Chloe i didn't mean to make it sound like i was asking you i was talking out loud haha sorry but i can't help but wonder is there something about me and the other survivors that makes us different to the others who didn't survive i can't help but wonder"

 

(I'll do the post explaining how to gain your Keyblades Saturday hopefully)

Nagito slowly found himself waking up to what he believed to the feeling of nice, clean and perfectly sanitary water splashing against his face. However, he was soon enough aware that the only thing sanitary in this desert was himself. "What the hell?!! Get it off! It's disgusting!!" No one else could tell whether or not Nagito was talking about the horse or the saliva, but he probably meant both. Pushing the horse's face away from him, Nagito looked over at the who had released their wild beast upon him. "Hey! Do you mind? I was taking a very relaxing nap over here." Nagito rolled backwards, moving out of the horse's range. Looking at the two, he began to try and figure out what kind of person they were from their clothing. "(My guess is... They're merchants from Agrabah. From all the stuff they've got in that carriage over there, they're probably going to trade with a neighbouring country. Hmmm... Guess I'll just play dumb for now.)" Nagito gave a dumb looking smile, making him look like some fool who accidentally wandered into the desert. "You guys wouldn't happen to know how far away Olympus Coliseum is from here, would you? I was hoping to get there by tomorrow." Unfortunately, Nagito truly was oblivious of the fact that by foot, it would take days to get to his destination. Nagito then also thought of another question, and with a scratch of his head he looked towards the older one of the two. "Also, I'm looking for someone. I think it's one of the survivors from that... attack thing last week. He has spiky hair and he was talking to the Guardian a lot, you seen him?" Nagito asked with a smile, acting dumb to not let on that he was also one of those few survivors.

Sinbad and Runa stared down at the boy and then back at each other, then back at the boy. Runa then turned to whisper at Sinbad. "Who the hell wears a fluffy coat like that in the DESERT?" Runa whispered, making note of the boy's jacket with purple fluff. "Must be one of those fashion statements from another country. It's obvious he's not from here." Sinbad answered, whispering back. Runa scoffed before turning back to the guy. "You expect that by foot? You're on a fool's errand, kid." Runa said, even though she was younger than the boy in question. She turned to Sinbad. "Sinbad, lets take his organs and sell them in the black market. I know a guy that knows a guy-" "I told you once and I will tell you again, we aren't going to sell his organs to the black market!...if we're going to sell anything we might as well sell the whole body anyways." The two's attention was then heightened at the mention of Guardian and attack. The description of the boy seemed familiar to them, and the attack timeline was exact from theirs. Survivors...there were others? "You know more survivors?" Sinbad asked with narrowed eyes. "Who else survived that? Were you one of those? Do you know who the hell was in charge of that? These scars are going to take years to go away!" Runa snapped, suddenly pulling her dagger from her pockets and pointing at the kid, but Sinbad stopped her from going too far. "I think we know who you're talking about, but we have no idea where he is. All that aside...we're heading to Olympus as well." Sinbad explained. Runa looked at Sinbad. "What are you thinking?" Sinbad turned to Runa and the two whispered something between each other. "Hmmmm....Hmmmmmmmmmm...right. Understood." The two then sharply turned to the boy, their mouths turned into sly smiles. "I'm Runa. A streetrat."Runa introduced herself. "I'm Sinbad. A merchant." Sinbad said. Suddenly the two grabbed the boy by the shoulders of his clothes. "And you're our new gang member!" And with that they pulled him into the carriage before taking off.

Nikolai awoke in a brightly lit room. It was warm, and he was covered in blankets. His shirt was off, revealing a bandaged midsection. He started to move, but quickly stooped trying, letting out a moan of pain. Okay, moving was probably bad for now. He heard quick footsteps, and a woman burst through the door, her face flush with worry. She quickly rushed over to him. "Y-your majesty! Your awake! I apologize for not being around to make sure you didn't move." She began to say, but Nikolai waved her off.

"Worry not, your pretty face more than makes up for whatever mistakes you may have made. Besides, even if you had told me not to move, I would've done it anyways." The Prince said, smiling. He gave a quick wink to his makeshift nurse, and she blushed. "But I'm curious. How long was I out?"

"A week your highness." She answered quickly. Nikolai thought on this for a second. Then he nodded.

"In my luggage you shall find a small bottle. They're pain pills from San Fransokyo. Also, I'll need a new shirt. Please get one of those from my bags as well." Nikolai directed. 

"But, my prince, you are not planning on leaving are you?" The nurse questioned. Nikolai gave her a mischievous grin.

"Ah, but I must! I must continue upon my tour. A mere stab wound from a legendary weapon shall not stop the likes of me. Now go, quickly please!" The Prince said. The nurse left the room.

"I couldn't help but wonder myself hence the reason i spoke with the great Kingdom Hearts" Hearing a familiar voice he had only stood face to face with no less then one week ago when he was near death Tristan couldn't help but have a sudden and strong sense of fear run through his entire body as Tristan stood stiff on the spot Chloe saw behind him a women with long read hair quickly standing up Chloe yelled at the women "Who are you and what are you doing in my ho......" "Be Purged Darkness" Chloe grew silent as Tristan's eyes narrowed to see her be sliced in half right before his eyes Tristan watched as the two halves of Chloe's body fell to the floor lifeless. With a sense of anger to Chloe's sudden death Tristan clenched his fists with the shard of metal from earlier still in his right hand quickly Tristan stood up and turned looking towards Serena who stood behind him "You, why come here and kill someone who is nothing but kind" "Don't think of it as killing but as purify that kill will no longer have the bear the darkness of living in the world and can now live on within the light of kingdom hearts forever" "Screw that!" Quickly Tristan lunged at Serena attempting to punch her but as he did Serena vanished and a slash mark appeared running up Tristan's arm rolling to the ground in pain Tristan held his arm as blood poured out Serena stood over Tristan holding the X-blade "Twice you've been struck by the X-blade and twice you've lived it seems what Kingdom Hearts told me is true it seems there truly are those out there that are able to form a resistance to the power of the X-blade interesting but that resistance can only go so far" slowly Serena raised the X-blade up until she held it to the side of Tristan's neck "You can have all the resistance you want but if i decapitate you that should end it now then i think its time we said our final goodbye young man" Slowly Serena prepared to swing the X-Blade at Tristan's neck but as she did Tristan spoke "No!" Serena stopped and looked to Tristan confused "No? What do you mean No? You have no more cards to play accept your fate and be one with Kingdom Hearts like that girl!" "No, screw you and screw Kingdom Hearts neither of you get to decide my fate that's my job and that's why i wont die. You said human's are the Mother of the thing you called darkness and you said darkness was a threat to the world if that's the case then I'll reject the darkness and fight it tooth and nail so that it can never destroy the world I've chosen my own path now and i wont let you or any other almighty power stop me from following the path i have chosen this is my path and i intent to take it!!!" Looking to Tristan in shock Serena noticed a bright light coming from Tristan's right hand and she began to back up "I now hold the key to the door and I'll use it to make my way through life the way i chose and I'll put my whole soul into it if you want to try and stop me then come at me now I'll take you down here and now!!!" The light coming from Tristan's right hand grew even brighter as a worried look filled Serena's face "What is this what is this boy doing i need to finish him now or this could become dangerous" quickly Serena vanished from Tristan's sight as she did a pillar of light the length of a sword formed in Tristan's right hand the moment it did Tristan moved it to his side as fast as he could upon doing this Serena appeared her X-blade clashing with Tristan's pillar of light "Impossible he's blocking an attack from the X-blade that shouldn't be possible what's more he was even able to follow my..." Suddenly Serena noticed Tristan's eyes they were still focused completely on the location she last stood "no he didn't follow them his body automatically moved on its own this isn't right this shouldn't be happening just what is this boy if this is just one of them what are the other X-blade resistant like" Quickly Serena backed away from Tristan as he turned towards her holding the pillar of light firmly in his right hand "I told you i wouldn't let you kill me and i meant it this is my life i decide my own path!!!" Upon speaking his last word a pillar of light engulfed Tristan completely "What is this so much light how can a human utilize this much light" as the pillar erupted upwards unnoticed by Serena a few spots of darkness mixed in with the pillar as they did the pillar vanished and from it emerged Tristan all his injuries healed and now within his right hand he held a key shaped sword "Wh...what is this that blade looks like the X-blade how how is it possible you forged an X-blade?" "No not an X-blade but a Keyblade this is the key to the door to my future a future i shall walk towards full of hope" Starring at Tristan in shock Serena spoke "Just who are you for a human to do such a thing who are you?!" "Tristan a newly reborn warrior of light who will fight the darkness your so scared of so no one else has to die" "Tristan, you how can you be so selfless how can you claim you can even do such a thing do such a thing for people you dont even know" "Because i believe in humanity that's all there is to it give us a chance and I'm sure we can find a way" "You, dammit this changes everything I'm not sure how to proceed anymore dammit all" Glaring at Tristan Serena vanished in a flash of light as she did Tristan began to feel dizzy as he suddenly collapsed onto the fall out cold.

 

(Alright everyone can now forge a keyblade it might be hard to understand how from my post just now so I'll explain here now. Basically after The Guardian's first attack unknown to her she accidentally left a tiny shard of the X-blade within each of the survivors this shard is the key to forging a keyblade basically you need to have your characters place a piece of there soul within the shard from there they need to have a strong resolved for what ever there goal is after this the next step is an option step depending on your resolve you can either to be a keyblade wielder of light or Darkness for that it basically means if you pick light a pillar of light engulfs you like it did for Tristan and if you pick darkness same thing again but with darkness and thus a method to create the keyblade is born and the very first keyblade's ever enter the world)

Nagito found himself dumb founded, blinking a few times with a blank expression just to emphasise to himself how odd this situation was. "(Have I just been kidnapped?)" Nagito looked at both Runa and Sinbad, trying to make sure he remembered their names for the future. But more than that, Nagito looked worried over a single thing that he hadn't managed to realise until the other two pointed it out. "(Seriously?! Was Olympus Coliseum really that far away?! I could have died if these guys hadn't found me!)" Nagito sighed while looking down in thought. "(Those two... they said that they were looking for survivors from the attack, but they're probably both survivors themselves. Well, the short one definitely is, that's for sure. They both seem to have bandages on them, but I would have guessed that was because of monsters in the desert. I'm glad that I asked. Anyway, I'm missing one major thing here...)" Nagito turned back at the two and was smiling nervously. "(They were going to sell me on the black market? Creepy~)" Nagito cleared his throat and leaned in towards the other two. "Well, Runa, Sinbad, it's nice to meet you both, I'm Nagito. I live in Radiant Garden, so I guess you were right when you said I didn't know anything about the desert. Anyway, I'm looking for the boy I mentioned because~..." Nagito paused for a second to think of a believable answer. "(Okay, just say something that you would normally say.)" Nagito then gave a wide smile. "... he looks like a lot of fun. I think if I find him, then I'll have a lot to keep me distracted. I'm always looking for something fun to do you see." Nagito's glazed, believing himself to be an impressive speaker. "(Yeah~ Nailed it. There's no way they'll doubt me... WAIT A MINUTE!!)" Nagito's eyes widened as he suddenly went back through his bag, he then breathed out a huge sigh of relief, drawing the attention of the other two. Nagito smiled to himself and took out an extra large bag of marshmallows and began eating them all to himself. Nagito went back to his original position between the two travellers, stuffing his face full of marshmallows and talking with his mouth full. "So~ Tell me about guys. I figured we got some time to kill before we reach the Coliseum, so tell me about yourselves and maybe, just maybe, I'll give you each a marshmallow."

Runa jumped to the back where Nagito sat, amazed by the wonders of this treat known as marshmallow. "What the hell is that?! Did you just, picked up a cloud and smushed it into a bag?" Runa asked, looking down at the treat. Sweets weren't common in Agrabah. Their diet was more dairy, wheat and meat. Only the rich had the luxury of getting sweets transported from other countries. Sinbad quickly spoke, answering Nagito's question. "Nice to mee you, Nagito. Well, I'm a merchant. My father was a merchant, but he left home and never came back. Currently while looking for other survivors of...whatever happened to us. In the meantime, I'm going to try to find my dad!" Sinbad said in good spirits before lightly elbowing Runa. Runa cleared her throat and stroke a pose. "My name is Runa! I am a streetrat that is aiming to become a hero and a rich queen one day!"Runa said ever so happily. "I'm going to scour the entire world in search of treasure and gold, and come back to Agrabah and buy the entire city! If not, I'll just have to create my own country!" Being a streetrat for all of her life, she was determined to become a someone in this world. "That is, if you can stop your pickpocket habit." Sinbad teased. Runa growled at him and then turned to Nagito. She got her hands on her hips and looked at Nagito questioningly. "So, Mr.Sweets, what are you planning on doing in Olympus? "

Nagito thought very carefully about how he should answers he question, but in the end, he used an extremely simple answer. "I'm going to Olympus in order to kill some time. I might just compete in a tournament and see how I fair against the gladiators. Although, I probably won't last long in a fight against them." Nagito looked back at Runa and smiled, taking out a Marshmallow and giving it to her. "You want to be a Queen huh? You're going to need to learn to treat people a little more nicely." Nagito leaned forward and put a hand next to his mouth, whispering to Runa. "Selling people on the Black Market isn't very nice you know." Nagito then sat back and took out another marshmallow, throwing it at Sinbad. "I'm not wasting any more now. I need the rest." Reaching into the bag and holding three marshmallows between each of his fingers on his hand, he began eating them one at a time. "Sweets are the best~" A question then popped into the white haired boy's mind, but it was something he was unwilling to talk about with anyone else. "(Oh yeah, I completely forgot... I had that dream again. Who the heck was that person? Someone I knew from when I was a child? But if they were that important to me, then why can't I remember them now?)" Nagito scratched his head uneasily, getting slightly agitated. He then sighed as he couldn't think of who his dream was about. "(Well, there's no point fussing over it now. I'm sure it'll come back to me one of these days. For now, let's just look forward to the Coliseum and have some fun~)"

Nikolai was now riding through the tundra, and quick. His pain had subsided due to the pills, and he doubted his wound would open back up at this point, after a week of undisturbed healing. His cloak fluttered in the wind behind him. He had left the rest of his royal parade back in Arendelle. No need to bring them along anymore. No, he should find others like him. They might be able to help him. Yes, he would need help if he were to do this. On his hip was a golden saber, which he was pretty sharp with. The monsters around this area didn't give him much trouble anymore. 

Slowly Tristan's eye's opened as he once again regained consciousness slowly he sat up while holding his head due to a throbbing pain he had shaking his head slightly Tristan forced himself to wake up upon finally fully waking up Tristan looked to the other side of the room to see Chloe's body on the floor split in two looking down with a sad expression Tristan couldn't help but blame himself for what had happened to her "If only she hadn't of found me she might still be alive right now" feeling incredibly depressed Tristan spent the next hour digging a grave for Chloe and then burying her beside her home before he attended to the next matter at hand the Keyblade he had someone managed to create just in time to save himself from Serena looking to the keyblade he had placed on a table not much earlier Tristan looked at the strangely shaped sword "I don't exactly know how but seems i somehow managed to make this thing in the nick of time and even stranger it was able to block an attack from the X-blade normally the X-blade could cut through literally anything i thought but this thing stopped it and its name its like it just randomly appeared inside my head along with it Keyblade, Keyblade just what is this thing?" 

Sinbad ate his marshmallow. Runa ate a bit of it, and was enchanted by the flavor, to which she ended up eating it bit by bit to enjoy the flavor of this sweet she had never tasted before. Within a few hours of riding the group came face to face with the one thing that bordered the countries of Agrabah and Olympus. "Here we are, Dirge Cannon." Sinbad smiled as he compared it to the landmark on his map. "Right across this cannon we should be able to reach Olympus, and the capital within morning." With that theey started to walk across the cannon. It was almost like a labyrinth, with multiple passages and derails, but all in the same followed the course to the other side. "Dirge, that word sounds familiar." Runa noted. Sinbad was wuick to answer her, "Dirge,a sad song or composition that expresses mourning in commemoration of the dead."Sinbad explained. "That's a very depressing name to call a cannon."Runa muttered. "Well it is also called Dirge because of a certain creature that inhabits this types of cannons. Falling under the classification of Colossi, known for its low hum, the creature's name is fittingly-" Sinbad explained, but right on cue, the group heard what Sinbad dreaded to hear. A loud, very low hum, echoing across the cannon. "...a hum...like that?" Runa asked frowning. "...yup. Just like that." Sinbad gulped, cracking on the horse's reigns to have them hurry their pace. "Colossi don't eat people do they?"Runa asked. "No, they're actually pretty peaceful and tamed creatures. However they've very territorial. Especially the cannon sand colossi known as-" Sinbad explained, just as he was about to mention the creature's name, such creature appeared before them, standing up straight with it's long, snake like body before looking down at the small group. It still hummed it's song as it eyed the group with eyes that glew like coal. "....-Dirge."Sinbad finished, but only to suddenly crack the reins like whips, making the horses take off past the Dirge Colossi and headed straight forward. The Dirge kept humming its song as it turned to see them and dove into the sand, chasing straight after them.

Dirge:

 

 

 

Nagito stared out the back of the carriage, looking over at Sinbad with a grim expression. "Hey! That thing's huge and not to mention creepy! You've gotta get us out of here!" Nagito felt droplets running down from his face as he watched the sand bulge, slowly but surely gaining on them. "(There must be something we can do to throw it off our course, but what?)" Nagito looked around desperately, but found nothing that he could use. A panicked expression pained his face, before he remembered something. "(Maybe... I might be able to buy us a little bit of time, but...)" Nagito reached into his bag and took out another bag of sweets, tears streaming down his face. "(I really wanted to eat these ones!!)" After a few seconds to come to terms with the loss of his sweets, Nagito turned around and three the bag of sweets off the back of the carriage, hoping that colossus would take the beat. "(I'm going to be sorely disappointed if he doesn't take this. If he doesn't, I can always use my yo-yo.)" Taking out what looked like a normal yo-yo out of his bag, Nagito watched to see what would happen to the bag of sweets he'd tossed away.

Edited December 3, 201410 yr by Oblivion 22

Runa watched as the bag of sweets was thrown off the cart. The Dirge jumped into the air, catching the bag of sweets within its mouth before diving down into the sand, disappearing within it. Runa smiled and patted Nagito’s back. “You’re not weighting us down after all!” Runa laughed, glad that the sudden spook was over. Sinbad gave thumbs up to Nagito. “Just in time too, we reached the end of the cannon!” Sinbad said as he pointed at the exit. However, just as they reached the exit, right from their side, almost from underneath, the Dirge surfaced, humming loudly as the force alone pushed the horses and the carriage to their side. Sinbad fell off his seat, Runa’s body spun and slammed around the carriage as it flipped to the side. Thank goodness the thing was made to be sturdy. “AW ****!!!” Runa cursed at the top of her lungs, grabbing onto Nagito to keep herself from flying around in the sudden push.

 

Sinbad watched as he was barely run over by the carriage, but it flipped right a few feet behind him before coming to a stop, the horses whining as they fixed themselves around. “You guys alright?!” Sinbad asked. A sudden warm wind suddenly made him froze. He slowly turned, seeing the Dirge staring down at him, breathing over him. He didn’t know if Dirge ate humans…but it appeared he was about to find out. Sinbad stumbled, backing away in the sand as the Dirge wrapped the ends of its tail around Sinbad, keeping him from escaping. “Sinbad!” Runa called as she crawled out of the carriage. The Dirge leaning in closer, Sinbad backed against its tail with wide eyes. He had no weapons. He didn’t know how to fight with one. The most he had ever done was hand to hand combat…and that wouldn’t exactly work with this one. “(No, it can’t end like this…!!!)” Sinbad thought, raising his arms over his head. “(I can’t die here! I need to find my dad, I need to find out what happened to the other survivors, I need to find out why we were attacked!)” Sinbad closed his eyes tightly, gritting his teeth, bracing to be chewed to death.

 

“(I can’t die here…I have to find dad, take care of Runa, do something great…I can’t die just yet!!!)”

 

Suddenly, his arm shone brightly, white pillar of light covering his arm, to which stopped the Dirge from coming any closer as it watched just as surprised. As the light started to fade and spread like shards, in Sinbad’s hand rested a blade of burning fire. The Dirge hummed lightly, backing away at the sight of the flame. Sinbad, not feeling himself being eaten, opened his eyes, only to be surprised what had appeared in his hand. A keyblade, but he didn’t know it was that. “What…the…****?”Sinbad asked, looking down at the blade in his hand in surprise. It was beautifully carved with marvelous detail, the blade covered in bright, raging flames, giving off warmth…but it didn’t burn him. The chain in the end was fire as well, following wherever the blade moved like a normal chain would. He had no idea what to make of this. Hearing the low hum again, Sinbad took a glance at the Dirge, who never left sight of the blade in Sinbad’s hand. Sinbad slowly moved the blade, watching as the Dirge followed it with its gaze.

 

“Of course…living in sand, you’ve never seen fire, have you…?”Sinbad asked, carefully standing up as the Dirge watched is every movement. “….RAGH!” Sinbad suddenly screamed, waving the blade at the Dirge while taking steps forward. The Dirge flipped out, backing away from the fire blade before turning and diving into the sand, running off to the deepest part of its cannon to get away from the diabolical thing known as fire. Sinbad watched as it ran off, until once again the hum disappeared, and there was calm within the cannon once more. Sinbad had no comment on what had happened, but his mind quickly turned to what he was worrying for. “Nagito, Runa!” Sinbad turned and ran to the flipped carriage, kneeling down as he offered his hand to them. “Are you alright? Did you two break anything?” Sinbad asked worriedly. Runa was about to take his hand, but quickly took her hand back as her eyes widened to Sinbad’s blade. “Where the hell did you get that?!...WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS THAT?! IT’S ON FIRE!!!” Sinbad looked at it. “…I really wish I knew myself.”

Nagito groaned as he was still inside the over turned carriage. He climbed his way out, making sure to bring his bag with him. "That was a close one~... I almost lost all of my marshmallows." Nagito's head popped up from the carriage and his sight was directly drawn to the new Keyblade in Sinbad's hands. "(A sword? I'm pretty sure that he didn't have anything like that on him earlier. Did I just not see it?)" Nagito then overheard the conversation between the two travelling merchants. "Hey~ What do you mean? You make it sound like it really came out of nowhere." Nagito jumped down and walked over to the two, playing with his yo-yo a little. "It's pretty hot you know, can you cool it down a little? If that keeps up, I feel like I might melt." Nagito groaned, whiping some sweat from his brow as he continued to perform tricks with his yo-yo. "Anyway, now that we've gotten that out of the way... Please tell me we're close to Olympus?! I can't stand it any more! It's already been 23 hours since I last ate a piece of cake and I don't know how much longer my body can last on just snacks!" Nagito whined like a little kid, which was a sight to behold considering his age. "(I really do want some cake... but, I'm getting a bad feeling for some reason.)"
