Welcome to Gaia! ::

Keirn smiles darkly. "I won't attack you" A Keirn clone appears behind Nightmare leaning against the beast's back. "Just state your business here and I might let you go." Keirn draws Ryu and darkness appears on the blade. He sets the Minute Bomb on the floor. "I'm sorry, little one. This might get messy"

Keirn grits his teeth. "Sure some darkness is like that. But some has a kinder side to it. We keep the balance. The balance between the light and darkness." He sheathes Ryu, and the Minute Bomb comes bouncing back towards him and nuzzles his leg. "So you have come to join the Alliance of Shadows? You will have to wait here, till Mortimer, our founder comes back. I bet he was fighting that Nobody Texha. Anyways wait here for him and he'll test you. If you have any questions ask me. I'm Keirn, General of the Alliance." The Keirn clone disolves into dark particles and is absorbed by his blackened hand. "Just don't eat the heartless if you get hungry"

Keirn sighs. Yes, it is. But the darkness is not always evil. We do care about the balance of things. That nobody I mentioned earlier wants to disturb the balance. So Mortimer stops him from doing that. Sure we still fight with the Knights. But we don't overturn the balance." A few Powerwilds come into the room and gaze curiously at Nightmare. "See these heartless. I can see nothing wrong with them besides seeing them as children. The keyblade wielders see them as monsters though. Think of that."

"Now now" The beast regained his composure, flickering his tail in irritation, he did not like to let on how truely young he was. "no need to be rude, the darkness being kind to it's own makes sense, I see those creatures as cute" He smiled more sweetly at the little powerwilds, wiggling a finger in hello to them. "Mayhaps I can learn a new way of thinking, if you want me to go I shall, but I promise I can be of use." He backed up a few steps, bowing gently and flourishing his hat before him "If you wish to see me again, just call my name, i promise I'll be there" He dissolved into black ooze dissapearing into the shadows as easily as if he had never existed.

Mortimer stalked back into the castle. "Go ahead. We need more people. My clone is giving me information that Texha is gathering his power for a new battle. And he fused himself with the essence of the Heartless." Mortimer stopped and smiled. The smile stretched so far across his face you would think it would stretch past his ears. "I will ultimately destroy him."

Mortimer continued into the castle. He leaned over to pet a Powerwild as he passed them at the gates. He continued down the hall to the throne room where he sat down waiting.

Mortimer stood up. "This is to be your new home. If you choose that is. You have been given power. Of which you will be able to fulfill your dreams." Mortimer smiled. "I know about your attempt to defeat King Mickey. Although it ended in a draw since he ditched you. But now you may gain tremendous strength of which to defeat him once and for all the next you meet."

Mortimer stood up. "Your heart has not fully corroded yet so you will not be at full strength for a few days. Until then do what you wish to. I will call you when you are needed. And be prepared. The Nobodies are gathering for a war. We need to keep the balance of the universe till its collapse." Mortimer grinned. "Don't do anything against the balance for it is the order from the Door of Darkness, my father, itself. You may leave."
