A forest where red leaves wrapped around the dark wood trees, beautiful scenery and including a secluded waterfall flowing down to a pond that leads back to the kingdom. Great for fishing further away from the the waterfall but there is a smaller pond to the side for anyone who wants to take a nice soak. Also has plenty of wild life, perfect for hunting for food and supplies.
Simon wondered aimlessly through the woods as night started to fall. he had no idea why nor what, he just had to get away. the fear, the memories, it was all he could do to not drop down and cry but still he ran. he ran so far that by the time he realized he was super far away from the castle, he was out of breath. Shaking in his armor, he fell backwards onto a tree stump and covered his mouth as tears threatened to flow as he heard that aweful monotone voice shout again in his mind, the sound of a ray-type weapon being fired. fear was something all Jedi had to go through, but that day was too much for him to handle. All the could do was just try, for the sake of everyone else was just to smile and move on. when he finally caught his breath, he looked up to see a beautiful hot spring that had steam rising around, he couldn't even see the other side it was so much. taking a deep breath, Simon figured that he desperately needed to relax, and perhaps this was the best place to do so. careful to make sure he wasn't seen he moved behind one of the rocks surrounding the spring and removed his armor, including his lightsaber, before gingerly going into the water, not even checking to see if anyone else was there too. reckless, yes, but he was tired and wasn't thinking clearly, something that showed when, after about fire minutes of getting used to the water he looked out to the mist because he swore he thought he saw a shape. unsure of what it was, he summoned his lightsaber and slowly walked towards it. when the figure became more outlined, Simon activated his lightsaber and brought it down ... on the black blade of Onyx's ... who had the same thought process Simon did ... even down to the 'removing armor' part. Neither one of them registered the fact that the only thing ensuring their dignities were warm water and steam, but from the light of their sabers the steam started to clear and the both of them finally got the message as their faces became bright crimson as they looked at each other right in the eyes, not daring to look anywhere else. a second later a large rock wall shot up between them as the two turned off their lightsabers and put their bare backs against the stone wall that separated them both. the only thing Simon could think was thanking the Force that no one else was here, he hoped."you know, when I said you Jedi needed to be less hesitant about attacking, I didn't exactly mean attacking while someone was bathing"Onyx said, sinking lower into the water so only her neck and head was seen. "s-sorry ... i let my fear get away with me" Simon said but the Sith only rolled her eyes and looked down at her lightsaber and willed it back to her clothes as Simon did the same with his, unknowingly both doing it at the same time "i take it ... you felt whatever that was too?" he asked as Onyx nodded before realizing he couldn't see her so she confirmed verbally"yeah ... really bad memories"she said before hesitating slightly. this was NOT what she meant when she wanted to find him"Jedi ... I think ... I think i might have recalled something, when I was ... on top of my horrible memories i had one resurface that was ... very early"she said as she rubbed her arm under the water nervously "what was the memory?" he asked, turning his head to the stone to where he assumed she was at"i think ... i think i heard our mothers ... crying that we were taken from them ... but I am not sure"she said and Simon could swear he heard her voice quiver. for the slightest moment he wanted to bring the wall down and hug her but he resisted that urge to instead place his hand on the stone "i think i might have recalled that as well" he said lowly but loud enough for her to hear. Onyx only closed her eyes and took deep breaths, putting her head against the warm stone and absentmindedly running water down her hair and bit her lower lip"maybe ... if things had been different-"she started to say but Simon interrupted by saying "i wouldn't have you any other way" needless to say, this was what got Onyx to finally smile"thank you ... Simon"

Far away, up on a mountain side that had a view of the Castle, Valencia sat alone underneath an old pine tree. Her white feathered wings rested on the ground, drenched from the rain. Weeping with grief and rage. She wiped her face with a sniff of the chill air. "Damn it!... What the f*** happened?! Where did we go wrong?" Frustrated, she grips her white hair on top of her head. Tugging on it, as she struggles to remember how she had come into this situation in the first place.
"...Why did I leave?..."
Her memory was scattered. Fragmented into many pieces and none having a clear sense of direction. Valencia knew she had been gone awhile but apparently time in Shukurai's Universe was faster than home. It's been more than two decades in the Realms but she spent 10x that somewhere else... Valencia tried to focus on the time she left the Realms. Hundreds of years ago by her memory but not really. Images were blurred and words were hard to make out.
"I don't know how to go on... I feel so lost, Atticus..." Valencia looked up. She felt pain in this memory for it was about three months after Lucian's death. Valencia was grieving in Atticus' arms. The loss of her brother sent her into a dark depression. Valencia was always a person who cared for others but when Lucian died, her whole demeanor changed. Atticus was there. More than Valencia admitted to Mitsuki. This made her sigh for Valencia felt guilt that she wasn't completely honest...
Atticus Nanashi was a beloved friend. He was a shoulder for her to lean or cry on. Always someone she found trust in and counted on. She had her brother at the time but Lucian was always a bit overprotective. To a point of putting too much pressure on previous partners. Making it difficult to find a lover. Valencia smiled as she remembered what she did to prove a point to her overly protective brother. Valencia loved Atticus and he was one of Lucian's closest friends. Atticus loved her too. She wept a tear of joy for one of the happiest nights of her life. Despite all the fighting and feeling like none of the decisions she made mattered, Valencia never forgot that night with Atticus nor regrets it.
This made Valencia smile a bit as the rain calmed. She looked at the trees as she continued to think back. That night with Atticus came with a responsibility. A daughter, which Valencia wasn't sure was still around. She wasn't a year old when Valencia left. "Aeris..." That was why she decided to come back. When Valencia became depressed, she was afraid of everything it was going to do to her daughter. She was hurting herself and borderline suicidal. Valencia rolls up her leather glove to see some old scars on her wrist. Lucian's death completely destroyed the woman Atticus knew. "...I feel so lost without him..." Atticus agreed to caring for their daughter and encouraged Valencia to go find herself. If it meant her healing and coming back to them better then it was worth it... Valencia, however didn't want Atticus to wait for her. He deserved better and she convinced herself of that. Their relationship ended that day and Valencia left the Realms...
"What are you doing out here, little Light?..."
Lastly, was how she met Shukurai. Valencia had flown further than any wings were believed to carry. She remembers being adrift in space, exhausted and not the slightest idea of where she was. Valencia felt gravity begin to tug her a certain direction. She began to drift towards the event horizon of a Black Hole. Valencia didn't have the will to stop herself. She was completely content to die this way... As if the breaking down of her body down to atoms would be less painful than what she felt... That's when she heard his voice calling her a "little light." Valencia opened her eyes to see Shukurai, in his human-like form, floating before her. Just before the edge of the Black Hole's event horizon. Her approach stopped as this deity looks at her with concern. "I sense your Darkness is smothering you to hopelessness... You don't believe life is worth living anymore. Let me help you see why you're wrong and come back from this grief..." He gave out his hand and Valencia, felt a chance. A brief moment of hope and she took it. Valencia knew immediately he was a Deity of Darkness upon touching his hand. While most who associate with Darkness tend to be more cruel, this one was kinder. Wise for so young judging by appearance but that was far from the case.
the awkwardness of the situation finally passed as the two of them got dressed on their specific sides and walked to meet at the middle at the edge of the lake. at a glance, Simon noticed the wall was curved like an 's' almost. the two of them looked at each other, neither sure of what to say before it started to rain just as both attempted to open their mouths. "oh come on ..." Simon said in a half laugh and half exasperation looking up at the sky"well ... little rain never hurt anyone"Onyx said offhandedly as Simon looked at her with a raised eyebrow "yeah but a lot can kill ya" he retorted as the Sith just shook her head fondly. Neither of them had no idea what this ... thing between them was, all they knew was that despite who they were and what they knew, light and dark, Sith and Jedi, together they seemed ... normal. or close to it anyway. looking to the side, Onyx noticed part of Simon's armor, on his shoulder wasn't properly fashioned and showed an orange mark"what's that?"she asked making the Jedi look at it and smiled fondly as he unclasped the arm plates to show his Fairy Tail mark "guild mark, the one my mom, dad, and sister are a part of ... Fairy Tail." he said before glancing at the Sith who gingerly reached her hand out and let the fingers hover over it "think of it like a ... like a family crest, a reminder that no matter what i'm not alone" he said with a small smile just as Onyx lightly touched the mark"it's beautiful"she said before retreating her hand but only slowly. unknowingly to either of them the rain had frozen where they were in mid air as soon as they touched and a deep voice chuckled. it wasn't malevolent but neither was it benevolent, and it seemed ancient.
"Ashla and Bogan ... forever opposing yet always growing near. such is the nature" said the quiet voice of a figure standing upon the wall on the lake overlooking the two Force Users. he stood perfectly on the middle of the wall and saw both sides made the spring look like a ying/yang symbol, a smirk played on the face of the figure of this irony. he was little more than a ghost, unseen and unheard. "the story is getting good, and i'm invested quite well in this development, still ... the heartbreak" he said glancing to the place he knew Valencia was and frowned "gah! too involved, can't get too involved ... even being here is pushing it" he said before scoffing "why did i even do this? filler? maybe ... still ... always hated tragic endings" he said before the mist moved in an let his voice carry though the forest "good luck"
both Onyx and Simon jumped slightly upon hearing the 'good luck', knowing they both heard it, and decided they had better return to the castle, given their shakes from the void aura had dissipated
"Uggh...my head", a voice appeared within the forest as a blue and blond haired Vincent walked through the trails. It was always a good spot to travel through this forest, something about it made it truly feel like home. Rubbing the back of his head softly, Vin had showed that he was truly tired. He unfortunately didn't sleep too well the night before which was why he decided to travel through the forest to give his mind time to relax. Unfortunately, he couldn't sleep as all of a sudden, he had arrived at the waterfall that was just breath taking. Smiling softly, Vin walked up the slight hill as he looked at the warm springs in front of him. Smiling softly, seeing that there was no one there, Vin knew it was time he needed some true relaxation. With that, it was time to soak as the next thing anyone knew, Vin was already in the water without anything on besides his headband to keep his bangs out of his eyes. Sitting down in the warm water, the steam floating around him, Vin relaxed his back against the soft rocks before letting out a soft sigh of relief,"Man...what a beautiful morning...I really hope nothing bad happens for at least a few moments.."

● ...I have already won this fight... ● ...because I have Gorrum on my side... ●..through him all victories are assured.. ●
The last thing Garza remembered was Clingus telling him to go forth and find treasure as he fell through the other side and straight into a spring. Once he recovered, he analyzed his surroundings. The surrounding area had scattered dark wood trees with red leaves, the scenery was beautiful. there was a waterfall nearby that flowed down to the spring he was standing in. After a few moments, Garzas sword, The Flame of Gorrum, fell through the portal and landed in front of him. That is when he noticed a man wearing nothing but headband lounging in the spring directly in front of him. A Puny man to Garza ; he could sense a divine aura surrounding this man, which peaked his curiosity. Garza spoke, his voice was rough, "Who are you, puny little man and where are your clothes?"
Vin should of kept his big mouth shut as all of a sudden, a loud splash appeared in front of him, splashing the once relaxed keyblade wielder in the face. Luckily, the demigod didn't have a lit cigarette between his lips because that would of been his last one ruined by something that was now rising from the water. A green skinned, red haired man with eyes matching. He was towering over the six foot Vincent for sure as he was still in a relaxed-looking state, even when a large two handed word dropped between the two, landing right between the demigod's legs. Staring up at the hulk-of a man, the demigod's emerald green and ocean blue eyes just let out a soft sigh as he heard the half-orc speak, noticing he was a half orc with his teeth but still able to talk like a human.
Who was Vin?
That was a loaded question for Vin as he wiped the water off his face before letting his arms relax back on the smooth rocks behind him. He was a little annoyed at the fact that his relaxation was now put on hold for this newcomer asking who he was and why was he naked. This made Vin chuckle softly before speaking up with a smooth voice,"You know...I was soaking here when you arrived, Professor Hulk and I haven't slept at all. Nice sword by the way, compensating for something? I mean seriously, who interrupts someone when they are needing a relaxing soak? I definitely wouldn't, I would definitely want to at least let them dry off their a$$ first."

● ...I have already won this fight... ● ...because I have Gorrum on my side... ●..through him all victories are assured.. ●
Garzas Manhood was a sensitive subject, so this angered him deeply. Originally all the Half Orc desired was to figure out where the hell he was at this particular moment, but he was a proud creature and could not let this one go. A fiery rage was building in Garzas heart. Now all he could think about was showing this man what he was truly made of. He grabs his great sword from the water and points it toward this naked arrogant man and says " You dare mock me? You truly haven't the slightest clue who you are dealing with. Draw your weapon fool" There was a lot of confidence in his words. He was in fact a very skilled warrior. Throughout his lifetime he has proved himself a force to be reckoned with on more than one occasion. So facing this man felt like a simple task to him.
Sitting there, his head cocked to the right in a slightly annoyed look on his face, Vin just leaned his head back, really wishing he had more than one cigarette left in his pack so that way he could feel more relaxed. After all, there was a giant sword pointing straight at him, being held by a large half orc. Straightening up his head, the devilishly handsome demigod just shrugged his shoulders before standing up straight, the only thing hidden in the water was his ankles down which meant now his manhood was exposed. Cracking his neck loudly, Vin began to stretch his legs. He wanted to feel more limber which luckily, with the warm waters of the spring, it definitely didn't take long,"Alright, but I ain't putting clothes on yet..after all, you really aren't wearing much yourself, big guy...do you turn back to normal when I do that whole thing Black Widow does? You know..the suns getting real low? No? Alright, worth a shot" With that, Vin was ready to go as he flicked his right wrist to summon his main keyblade. A cloud of blue and green particles appeared around his hand as all of a sudden, a keyblade made of gold and a blue metal around the handle appeared, just to push the blade away from him. Letting out a loud pop from his neck, Vin let out a very soft sigh of relief before relaxing the blade against his shoulder before taunting the big half orc,"Your move, big guy. Just don't get too much blood in the springs okay? Just cleaned out the leaves and twigs, you know?"

● ...I have already won this fight... ● ...because I have Gorrum on my side... ●..through him all victories are assured.. ●
The Blade that had been manifested before him was very unusual. He had never seen anything like it before. This peaked Garzas interest. "what an unusual blade that is. I must have it" Being the expert tactition that he is, the half orc began to put together his plan of attack. "This man will utilize his speed against me, of that I am sure. Gorrum as my witness I will not fail on this day", Garza thought to himself. Without another thought, he spoke a short prayer. Shortly after, the blade of his sword became engulfed in flames. The flames danced and flickered around the massive sword, glowing bright white. He then turned his attention back to his foe and asked a simple question: "Before I destroy you id like to know, what is your name?"
Vin groaned waiting for this half-orc to attack him, leaning back as he looked up toward the bright sky above him. It was a beautiful day for sure as he straightened up his head and saw the weapon the half-orc wielded, now ingulfed with flames. Smirking at the sight, Vin dropped his blade down as he heard what the foe asked. Strangely enough, the half-orc only asked a simple question, that being what his name was. With that, Vin just groaned in annoyance but in a playful way as he spoke up,"Ugggggh...*in a Sean Connery immitation* The names Angel...Vincent Angel. *stops the immitation* Come on now Princess Bubblegum, we don't have all day. I can see your HOOO HAAAAA! Lets dance!" With that, Vin threw his keyblade upward, the large weapon twirling around as it flew off above the half-orc's head. Smirking softly, Vin just smacks his fingers as all of a sudden, he was no longer standing where he was. All that was there was a cloud of green and blue particles as above him, some more green and blue particles appeared by the keyblade that was thrown. Where the keyblade was, Vin had appeared in midair with his blade, his rear flashing Garza with a tattoo of Bender from Futurama saying "Shut Up Baby, I know it!" Landing in the water behind the half-orc, Vin smirked softly as he twirled his keyblade around in the upright position before swinging his keyblade downward at the half-orc.

● ...I have already won this fight... ● ...because I have Gorrum on my side... ●..through him all victories are assured.. ●
" That was unexpected" Garza thought to himself just as Vins blade came crashing down. This attack brought him down to one knee. "Wow that actually hurt. Its been awhile since someone has caused me actual pain" Just then, he could hear his deity, Gorrum the Conquerer, speaking to him telepathically. "Arrogant fool! Do not underestimate your opponent. He is more powerful than you think.". Before Vin could get off another attack, Garza quickly recovered and moved to dry land. He then stood in a defensive stance and reverted his attention towards his foe. " Nice moves.....it wont happen again". With a gesture of his hand, a dimension door was opened under his feet. Unknowingly to Vin another dimension door opened above him. Garza fell through this magical portal and exited through the portal above Vin, positioning his blazing sword to strike him down.
As the blade softly cut against the half-orc's back, Vin smirked as jumped back and waited for what his opponents had any tricks up his robes. Analyzing the situation, Vin smirked as he thought that this enemy was fleeing as he rested his blade against his right shoulder before yelling out to his new friend,"Imma bet you it will happen again! Wanna bet?!" Just then, he watched as Garza disappeared under the dimension door but that's when his eyes opened wide when he realized that the big guy was not escaping but instead was teleporting above him. With that in mind, before he could even react, the burning blade swung down straight into Vin's shoulder, cutting deep into his tattoo on his chest,"YOU SON OF A BAKA!" Have you ever seen Terminator Two? When the T-1000 took that grenade through it's side and it looked really cool? Well this is kind what you see only not as deep. Vin groaned as he turned his head to the left, looking back at the Half-Orc in annoyance before yelling out,"YOU CUT MY HAIR!" With that, Vin knew he shouldn't play around with his foes so much as he kicked the oversized foe further away to make some room between the two, the sword sliding out of his body which sprayed some blood in the spring. The half-orc would hear muttering from Vin as he would see in horror, Vin was putting himself back together. It was strange and unusual as his healing factor took over for him right at once. His skin and veins connecting back together like he was a doll stitching back together until he was whole again. Don't even get me started with the sounds of that experience. Vin groaned softly as his healing factor was completed, cracking his back loudly before looking down at the mess,"Son of a B!tch...I told you NOT to get too much blood in the springs...Hey, you are pretty good though. Nice little trick you got there. What's your name anyhow?"
At first he was pleased with the amount of damage he dealt. That is until the wound began to heal at an accelerated pace. With a Dissapointed look on his face, the towering half orc answered Vins question with a very proud response: "Hahaha.... I am Garza Life-Bane! Destroyer of countless foes, champion of the Gulag! Disciple of Gorrum the Conquerer!" For those of you who dont know, the Gulag is a magnificent coliseum where Garza spends most of his time watching over battles and sometimes fighting in a few battles of his own. "No more talk, lets finish this" He pointed his sword towards his enemy, the flame on his sword was getting more intense. Then suddenly the flames sprung forward like a flamethrower, flying straight towards Vins chest.
Garza Life-Bane? Champion of the Gulag? Gorrum the Conquerer? All of these questions ran through Vin's head as he just stared at the large half orc. Cool name though. Garza. Sounded to him to be a name that grabbed attention of many people, foe or not. Vincent on the other side sounded like a man who would be a great one night stand or at least a drinking buddy. He was kinda disappointed with the name though his last name Angel was definitely the eye catcher. That didn't really matter now as all of a sudden, Garza had pointed his two handed sword straight toward Vin and shot out fire like a flamethrower straight toward him. His eyes grew wide as his ring on his left finger glowed a soft blue color within it's gem. Lifting up his fist upward, the bloodied water under them rose up, blocking the flames as the two elements collided with each other, creating a thick amount of smoke and fog surrounding the springs. It was quiet for only a moment before all of a sudden, Garza could hear the sounds of six sharp objects stabbing into rocks around him before something was making the fog form into a smoky tunnel. Vin, after doing what he had done, smiled before placing his feet on the water, standing on top of liquid like it was solid. Using his ring, the water began to act like waves as he used the waves for himself, pushing his body forward in fast speeds to dash straight toward Garza. The smoky tunnel was created when Vin used the waves to propel him straight toward his foe, swinging his foot straight at Garza but before he could hit, his body disappeared in green and blue particles. With that, no time at all, Vin began to travel to the right of Garza to try and teabag the half orc before disappearing again. This happened two other times, different actions each time before the fifth time, Vin didn't arrive but instead, a double-edged keyblade was spinning straight toward Garza's left side. This keyblade made the fog clear to show what was truly happening. Six keyblades of different shapes and sized were stabbed around Garza in a circle, giving Vin a sort of killzone in a sense. Vin now standing in a cloud of green and blue particles with his sixth keyblade which was his Ultima Keyblade. Picking up his large keyblade, Vin smirked before jumping up into the air, throwing his keyblade downward into the water near Garza, stabbing into the rocks which the demigod only smiled before thrusting his open left palm forward in mid-air, his ring color turning a light blue which meant only one thing. All of a sudden, the spring water began to turn into straight ice.
