Trying to recall the twists and turns in the halls of the vast castle, I found myself having trouble reaching the 'Proof of Existence'. Or maybe, subconsciously, my body was afraid of returning there. Still I wanted to pay my respects once more...to the people who'd been on my mind ceaselessly since my return to this place.
I rubbed my head hard as I squatted on the stone floor. "GRRR!!!! This really shouldn't be so hard...if I wasn't so stubborn I would've used my portal to get there by now!! But...WHY HAVE THINGS CHANGED SO MUCH!!!" I cried to the darkness of the castle's corridors. Heartless scurrying away and my voice reverberating loudly.
Suddenly I felt another presence enter the realm. Jolting up quickly, I closed my eyes and focused. The Arena? Right in the middle of it! I could sense heightened emotions coming from the familiar auras of Lexian and Triskix... What was going on down there?
Without hesitating a moment I ripped open a portal and stepped straight through to the tower overlooking the arena. I would go no closer until I could see exactly what was going on. A nobody had appeared in the middle of a battle, and was currently confronting Triskix and Lexian...his hand was on his sword. Was he seriously attempting to start a fight? Another portal opened below, in the watchbox. Nyx stepped through with the another presence I had sensed yet ignored. A young Nobody with blue in her hair. She was holding a keyblade. I see...yet another keyblade wielder...how....interesting. I thought to myself.
Nyx noticed my presence almost immediately. She gazed up at the high tower on which I stood...and while I was surprised she'd found me so quickly, I didn't show it and met her gaze with quiet familiarity. She smiled at me gently. I was surprised just how much I'd missed that familiar gaze... A slight smile crossed my lips as well...only for her.
By the time I looked back down at the arena, it seemed everything was settled. The new-comer was now following Triskix and Lexian up to the watchbox. "Well then, we've a new member I suppose." I commented. "Make that two." I corrected looking back at the girl behind Nyx.
There was no need for me here...I could go back to my original destination. The 'Proof of Existence'. Turning, I opened the portal once more...now that I was so far away I may has well give in and take this route. I glanced back at Nyx, who was now giving me a questionable stare. Bowing my head slightly to her, I entered the darkness, and left the arena behind me.
