Org. XIV (story)

Daxma broke out of the trance like he did before but now he looked weak as if he would passout at any moment. "Umm...Yeah just...tell Lord Torbrex I will see him..when I am ready." He then steps through the Dark Corridor and when the otherside opens in his room he immediately collapses in his bed. While lying there he rests....and dreams.

<Strange. Nate hasn't posted in awhile. Like, a long while. He said he's back for good, but then he left without any post declaring his leaving like before. Should we take his characters again?>

Nexas sighed. "This is gonna suck. More problems". Nexas closed his eyes and lowered his head slightly. He then pointed an open palm to his left. A dark mist formed in a oval like shaped creating a portal to who knows where.

"Where are you, Nexas?" Kyxcir asked.

"Gonna get Medix to heal ya. Be right back". Nexas explained. He then opened his eyes and striaghten his head and this caused his necklace to swing. His ring caused a chimning sound. He look to his left and entered the Dark Corridor as it closed and dissipated.

Kyxcir stared as the Dream Reaper left.

"As soon as I'm healed I'm seeing brother". Kyxcir told himself as closed his eyes.

<You just noticed that Whats Up? >

Eques tenebrarum wrote:"I'm Tyson, one of the Spirit Walkers, you should know us. I'm just here to tell you to watch out for the new red sea thats going to show up around here sooner or later"

Soren looked to the castle then to Alice. "Any other places we can go besides here? I mean I would enjoy a little relaxation before any bad happens"

Daniel and Ichiro arrived back at the castle and Ichiro asked, "So, what's up with this place?" Daniel looked at him sideways. "What are you talking about? You know this is HQ."

Dispatch just grabbed the Keyblade out of the air and used another, then threw the Keyblade back at Aleri. "Sorry man, I gotta have my healing."

"There's the Lost Woods." Alice said as she turned to Soren.

Lance dismissed his blades, "You should be much more careful, I could have just killed you for being in here. Thanks for the warning though." He yawned again, clearly he wasn't a morning person.

Ichiro put a hand behind his head. "Of course I knew that! I'm just messing with you...?" Daniel stared some more. "Get to bed man."

"Im a Vampire, you couldn't kill me that easy" Tyson said then stepped of the rail so he was on soild ground. "Nice place you have, nice and dark in a few places too"

Soren nodded. "Lead the way"

Aleri hung his head. "Alright... But that means the results of the match will be inconclusive, so even if you win, you aren't stronger than me. Also, by healing so soon, you're missing out on the purpose of training. You don't get stronger unless you heal up after you've worked all the way through. That's just how muscles work... Of course, I got a D in my Health class back in Twilight Town." He attempted to wrench his keyblade free, only to find that Dispatch was too strong. "Ah... crap."

<Dispatch is at 100%, and Aleri's worn down, so Dispatch has the upper hand. Feel free to throw Al around for a while.>

Alice nodded as she turned and walked to the edge of town where the large trees of the Lost Woods streched to amazing heights in the air, a paved roadway ran to the horizon under the canopy of the trees. The road was old and unkempt but stable enough to walk on, Alice walked down the path into the woods and then turned waiting for Soren to follow.

"I assure you that my light could kill almost any vampire instantaneously." Lance said as he moved to the door and opened it gesturing for Tyson to leave, "Could you please wait for me in the foyer? I have some things to attend to."

Soren was next to her in seconds, smiling.

Tyson just swaggered through the door. "As you wish"

Alice smiled as she led Soren down the road and through many different paths and turns until they arrived at a clearing, there was a crystal clear lake and a small cabin here that seemed to be well kept and tidy but small. A tree arced over the lake and had a rope hanging from it. Under the tree, colorful flowers bloomed and the grass in the surrounding area seemed greener than anywhere else. Alice turned to Soren, "Only six living people know that this place even exists Soren, you are one of them, Welcome to the Secret Place."

Soren stared, his eyes reflected the lake and grass, it was a beatiful place. He then felt giulty for the Ravains rising up from Xetus's stirring, He wanted to leave this world qiuckly, but he wasn't ready, he never was. Soren looked at Alice. "Why did you bring me here?"

"I am linked to the darkness within me, this place eases the heart as well as the mind. I felt that you could use that as much as I could." Alice said with a small smile, she walked towards the large tree that stood near the lake and sat near it taking a deep breath, "This place has the power to awaken even the smallest amount of light in one's heart. This place is the only reason why I'm even still alive."

Soren nodded as he felt his light brighten within. He felt Vantias' Darkness oddly slip to a bit of light. "It even effects the dark entity" Soren mumbled to himself. Then he saw a blue wisp then a another and more came up until a boy was formed, he looked alot like Soren but his eyes were covered by a blindfold, it was Vorgo.

Alice was confused by the sudden newcomer, "Who are you?" She asked.

"My dead brothers soul, Vorgo" Soren answered for the mute spirit. He nodded and pointed at Alice then Soren with an eyebrow raised.

Alice gave a small smile from where she sat at the base of the tree. This place was full of so many memories, both good and bad but it somehow calmed her.

Vorgo looked at Alice and then to the serecet place. "It's closer here than anywhere" Vorgo remarked. Soren nodded.

Kizukanai was getting impatient. "Guys, I exist. You haven't talked to me in weeks, let alone gave me food!" She said, with her stomach growling loudly.

<Umm, only two days have passed in the Story since you were gone.>

Alice looked between the two, "Do you wish to here this place's history? It's something that Lance would wish you knew if he brought you here."

Lance nodded as he closed the door and moved to the bed, lightly shaking Thalia to wake her. She awoke groggily with her hair standing on ending all over, "Huh?"
Lance playfully ran a hand through her hair, "You might want to do something about that Spikey." He laighed as Thalia gave him a tired glare as he gave her a winning smile and opened a DC, "You can get between our rooms with that corridor, I'll be waiting downstairs once you're all the way up, beautiful." He added as he left the room to head downstairs and speak with Tyson.

On his way, Lance talked to Maya whom as usual was full of energy but unlike normal had taken a place at Lance's side insyead of hiding inside his shadow, "You got everything you need for today Maya?" He asked the illusionist. The young girl nodded happily, "Yep, just some little tweaks left." She said quickly as she left presumably to finish these "tweaks."

<also, Maverick, if you find Maya familiar it's because of this... Ever play Advance Wars: Days Of Ruin? Penny is the inspiration for Maya.>

Aleri sighed and flicker-teleported in front of Kizu. "It's been about twelve hours. YOu were sleeping. Just grab something from the kitchen. Dispatch and I are busy fighting, Kotank is offworld with some girl, and Zane went back to bed. There's an hours left before we're supposed to leave for Synthisle, so get whatever you'll need for the party, get your breakfast, and do something. You can watch us fight, maybe pick up a couple of our techniques." He Flicker-teleported back into place. "Shall we continue?"

Cam then appeared with Xelo who headed her a plate of food. "Whats up Kizu?"

<PENNY!!!>

<Yes, I love advance wars. More a fan of the old characters though.>
