Welcome to Gaia! ::

Adrian gives him a cold stare. "My will and Asta do help me control the darkness. But I also have Hope" He raises his keyblade as it erupts into light. "The beast within me does want to be freed. But I will release it when the time comes. For I must tend to it like my light" Asta steps forward towards the man. "I can feel the darkness within him. It scares me, but I still stand beside him. For the one thing we do have, is our bonds in our hearts. I cannot imagine what life might be like for those who do not have hearts. But I hope you still find bonds like us. I can feel the faintest light in all darkness, even within the heartless who only want a little light for themselves" With that said, she falls to her knees exhausted.

Adrian catches the bag and then kneels beside Asta. She looks to him and smiles. "You know, when I was lost in the light, I learned that a part of Kingdom Hearts was embed deep within the darkness. It had two doors. One of light and another of darkness" Adrian grins. "Don't worry, this won't be the last time we see him. I'm sure of it. Next time, we'll show him our strength" Adrian then carefully opens the bag the man had tossed him. Inside was dust that started to sparkle and swirl around them. Suddenly Adrian and Asta were floating in the air. "We can fly?" Adrian asks with disbelief. Asta giggles as Adrian scrambles through the air. "This is fun. Maybe that man has a little light within him after all" Adrian shrugs and they float around in the air, looking at the beauty of the island.

As Adrian starts to doze off, Asta grabs him by the arm. He jumped back into consciousness. Asta giggles at him. "Sorry. Didn't mean to wake you. But there is something I want to show you" She points to cliffs with tepees on them. After some practice, Asta and Adrian fly towards the cliff. They touch down upon the ground with Asta landing gracefully on her feet, and Adrian stumbling over his. "I'm not a good flier am I?" Asta smiles. "Well, you were never good at making graceful movements" Adrian starts to grin. "So what did you want to show me?" Asta motions him to one of the tepees and he follows. Behind the tepee, there was a chest. "A treasure chest? Why is it here?" Asta walks to the chest and opens it. She smiles as she looks inside. "I don't know, but it is unlocked. And there is the best kind of treasure in here." Adrian walks beside her and looks in. He smiles too, for in the chest was children's trinkets and their very own treasures. One stood out to him though. He grabbed two pieces of wood and unconciously puts them together. What he had found was a wooden keyblade toy. He smiles as he feels a wonderous light come from it. "Looks like someone parted with a fine treasure" He grabs some rope from his pack and binds it back together. "There you are, back as one" He puts it back in. He then reaches into his pack and pulls out a copy of his journal. He places it in there and saw Asta take off one of her bracelets" "Hey, wasn't that from me, from when we were younger" Adrian asks curiously. Asta nods and with a smile she tosses it into the chest. "I kept it on me, all the time. It felt as if you were right next to me. Now I don't need it, because you are here now" She blushes as she closes the chest. Adrian smiles and takes her by the hand. "Ready to go? There are so many worlds out there, as much as the stars" Asta nods and they leave this wonderous world.

Illium looked around seeing the beautiful view. she felt the breeze against her face and sighed with content.

Illium walked the shoreline then into the water, her barefeet feeling the cold liquid. It felt great. She even saw sea shells and picked them up.

Illium looked at Mortimer in confusion.why?

the chosen one? Who is this chosen one you speak of?she sat by him as if waiting for a story.

Darkness...a world of darkness and light..she remembered that at least.Darkness...is it good?
