The place of Darkness

[Aqua]

Aqua stepped along the narrow path that seemed to have gone on forever. This place of darkness never ended, never ceased in sicking it's countless monsters (heartless) onto her. She was weary, but forged on. She did her best not to let the place to wear on her. Instead she simply pushed and pushed, and when she couldn't push no more, her friends' keyblades protected her while she rested.

[Vexe]

A dark portal opened, and out from it stepped a female's form. Once she stood on solid ground, the opening into the darkness closed. The girl had a peculiar appearance. Even though she looked human, she had a few additional features: stripes on both cheeks, white feline ears, and a white cat tail. Her pupils quickly broadened, adjusting to the lack of light in this realm. She had no idea what this place was, but she quickly took notice of the heartless closing in on her. She thought it strange that they attacked her more frequently than before. What had caused an increase in the heartless' attraction to her?

No time for questions. The nobody swiftly summoned a special alloy from her collection. The metal floated in the air about her in the form of various sized orbs and globs. Since these were low-level heartless, she had no problem facing them. The metal seemed to follow the girl's physical gestures. She formed a crescent blade then sent it slicing through several shadow heartless in a row. It then rounded back to attack those that remained. The threat was eliminated, for now. If she remained here, eventually she would stumble upon more.

A portal had opened up into this new realm, a realm where it was dark. Sanda, a female of the age of 16 had walked into the place for the first time. Her eyes mainly focusing on how bad the Heartless were here. This girl HATED the Heartless about as much as the next keyblade wielder.

The presence of these creatures remained a mystery to her, but there was a reason; she was in the dark realm alot of people had talked about. This really seemed to increase her high spirit into fighting in a good way, and not a bad way. Sanda had learned the hard way about how her friends had become taken over by the Darkness, and then died finally by other people. '

This wasn't the time, or place for these questions, and so she had moved forth knowing that more of the Heartless would attack if she stayed right here.

[Aqua]

She stopped momentarily as the waves of heartless decreased. Were the keyblades of her friends protecting her again? She stopped a moment as the heartless them selves seemed to momentarily cease and allow her a break. With all the darkness around her it was hard to make out a difference in anything, other than the path a head.

Finally, she noticed the Corridors of darkness, or at least the darkness they produced. From this distance she could neither see their occupants, nor the actual doorways. All she knew was there was something very dark up ahead, and she needed to see.

She started to run towards the disappearing darkness. And despite it disappearing she still headed for the spot. It'd be a while before she made it to where she thought it was, but still she had to try.

[Vexe]

Vexe remained standing in the exact same spot for several moments now, her gaze scanning the scenery. What a desolate place. Her feline ears twitched, picking up the sound of water gently lapping at a shore. Her steps slowly gravitated toward that sound. She also noticed that a strange eerie light came from that direction. The female climbed atop a rocky structure to get a better look. Indeed, there was an expanse of water reaching to the horizon with a faint light lingering above. There Vexe stood still, observing in awe. How alone she felt in this place.

In what seemed to be a blur, he form was sent skidding across the water's surface. The endless leagues of sea offering no solace as he flew past, beaten and bruised, each bump or jolt resulting from the small waves caused a wave of pain to occur. In no time at all he crashed to the shore, the sand offering no padding, just a solidness from which more aches would accompany.

He had no memory of why he was there. All but his most basic, oldest memories were completely gone. He knew who he was, what he liked and things along that nature but nothing past this. His was a lonely path, not even slightly aware of what would come. But there was nothing to do but forge ahead and take what may at full stride.

His collision with the beach caused a loud crash, sand flying high, a cloud of it lingering for a moment. Laying there, he needed a rest, even if it would be a short one. Maybe after a time he'd make a decision. Yea, he decided, that when the sand settled again he'd start out on his new journey.

[Vexe]

The feline noticed an object moving incredibly fast like a rock skipping across a pond but with exponential speed; her feline eyes could barely detect its shape even when it came closer. When whatever it was failed to decelerate, her ears perked and eyes widened slightly as she became more attentive. When hearing the anticipated crash, Vexe's cat ears folded back to protect themselves from the loud noise. She stayed where she was, looking at the cloud of sand forming above an area further along the shore. A bit of earthy spray reached her, so she turned her head and shut her eyes.

A few moments passed, enough time for the sand to mostly settle, before Vexe decided to investigate the site of the crash. At a steady brisk pace, she approached, ignoring a few heartless that revealed themselves along her path. If they caught up with her, she would take care of them. She came upon the depression in the sand, but she approached it warily. Careful not to slip in, she peeked down to see if anything was still in there.

[Senjou XII]

By the time the sand had settled back down, he'd been thinking about what he needed to do. So, without wasting anymore time, he sat up and rubbed at his forehead. "T'ch...gotta' figure out where I am..." Bracing himself with his other hand he smoothly transitioned into a one handed hand stand then hopped up, twisting in the air, to land on his feet. Proceeding to wipe away the sand that had clung to his clothing, slightly distracted because of this, atleast for a time. But then something caught his attention, an odd feeling. It wasn't ominous, but he couldn't exactly place it either. Something was coming towards him and without any sort of knowledge of who or what was around he couldn't prepare himself. Sighing, this was the situation he was most used to, being unable to do anything other than wing it and react on the fly.

Quickly running up the side, the slope and sand not doing anything to slow him down. Instead he easily scaled the side and then hopped over the rim, landing once more on level ground. In doing so, however, he'd nearly slammed into someone who seemed to be checking out the crash site. "Whoa, whoa." Instead of bashing into them, he tilted to avoid them and lost his footing. He'd stumble into a fall before again sprawling out across the ground. "Can't catch a break..." Blinking, he'd peer up at the person, and tilted his head. Surprised to see someone else out in a place like this, curiosity took over. "Huh, someone else? Who are ya'?" Asking without first introducing himself, he sat up slowly, to make sure nothing was injured.
