Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rena was caught off guard with the surprised kissed her lover Kisama delivered. She gazed into his eyes and held his hand, but lost his touch when he turned and left with an "I love you" for a goodbye. Rena sighed and went back into her room and laid in bed, drifting to sleep.

Nyrax stepped out of the portal and looked around as it faded behind him. He appeared to be in a strange town. Memories flooded his mind. From a different perspective, it showed a boy and a girl, sitting next to a fountain drinking smoothies. They seemed happy together, holding hands and laughing.
Happy... He clutched his head. "Whose memory is this?! Is it.. Could it be..?"

Shroud walked out of the dark portal and looked around with a growl. This new world is so dark and ominous. He looked around in the area that looked like a plaza with a large fountain in it. It was nice, but too clean and light, like it was trying to fight the forever night sky. He walked into the back streets to avoid stay out exposed to the light. It botheres his eyes too much. His hand summoned his keyblade and began to drag it behind him as he walked. a dark shadow began to slice through the ground and expanded as he draged his key against the ground. The backstreets began to turn black, lamps began to explode behind him, things began to turn quiet, the area began to turn darker, void of light. When shroud finished the backstreets, he turned to inspect his work and growled with satisfaction. Dark chains sprouted from the now black ground and formed a throne for him. He was getting more tired from using his powers. He needed to find a way to get his power back. But, for the time being, he growled softly as he fell asleep.

Sgroud fell after Taint sliced his chains off and caused his chain throne to collapse. Shroud stood up slowly and looked at the one that disrupted his slumber. He tilted his head and growled as he heard his threat. This one seemed just like the one he called Adrian, only his darkness was more stronger. Main diffirence was that it was maybe stronger. He raised his hand and pointed it at Taint. A small beam shot from it and connect to him, not to cause harm, but to connect to him in order for Taint to hear his words, "Why...? What... is... plan...? Balance... is even... until... light... in his... heart... vanishes.... His... friends... keeps... you... from goal.... Killing me... won't help.... You... need... what... he has...." He lowered his hand and disconnected. He growled a bit more and raised his hand to manipulate the dark in the area and created images. It showed Adrian and everyone that was connected to him. He swiped his hand through the images to make them disappear. He stepped forward and touched his chest this time, his internal speech was getting more better this time, "My search is not... like yours. Adrian... is your target... I respect that. But, you need more... than motive... to win against him.... Maybe, we can... work something...out?" He lowered his hand again and jumped back to stay out of range. Taint seemed more unstable for being pure darkness. It was more darker than Shroud, which got him curious. Maybe they can help each other out.

Taint smiles. "Not a chance. I'm never going to fight him. I will just end all light when I get the chance. That is because I have a power even Mortimer doesn't have. Time. I also have these creaturess of negativity. Frozen in the darkness, they wait to be free. Now they can be" He holds out his hand and a blue creature appears out of the darkness. "Even though that dark boy is gone his negativity still lives on"

Entering the Second District, Nyrax walked down to the fountain and sat where his past self had sat before. "Is it true that I once knew.. Happiness? Love?" A gentle wind blew through him. Looking up, the church bell began ringing. Nyrax gasped from surprise as Heartless began to appear around him. Summoning Divine Chaos, he muttered "You guys know how to ruin everything, don't you?"

Shroud looked at the new batch of unversed and growled in an impressed tone. His keyblade disappeared and began to form the darkness in his hands, he felt that he should at least show Taint what he was looking for. It formed a silhouette of a heart covered in thorns. He touched Taints shoulder again, "This is what... I seek. I understand your will... for solitude, but you should be careful.... I seek the Heart of Darkness.... Like the seven pure hearts of light... it is the darkest heart in existence. It can only be created in a heart of innocence... and extracted through light. It is said... to grant the darkest wish... and give one everlasting power of the purest darkness. In exchange of swapping it with your old... heart. I came close to a heart... of innocence... but was sealed before I aquired it. Now... I must find... a new heart of innocence to create the Heart of Darkness." He closed his hand and the silhouette disappeared, "If you find a heart of innocence... use the darkness to contact me... I can offer that to you... at least. I know the ritual.... I would want the power myself... but my power will not support it in the state... I am in. And Halcyon keeps hunting me. Your many eyes... can find it in half the time. But,... if you do not wish this... then I will continue myself." He let go of Taint and stepped back. He tilted his head and growled.
