Origins 2: Forgotten Bonds

"What about my company, Master?"

Zenaku was leaning against the wall a bit down the hall from Jordan, Violet and Deimos. "I heard the commotion..." He said. "If you're going somewhere dangerous, I insist that you allow me to follow." Zenaku bowed before his master. "That is, unless this is a private matter."

 

"I see. Understandable," Zenaku said, raising himself from his bow to speak to Deimos. There was a twinge of disappointment in his voice. "I will keep the castle in line until you all return. Good luck, and try not to die." Zenaku turned his back and began to walk away. Though he normally would have confronted Deimos about answering in place of the Master, he decided Deimos knew more about the situation than he did, so he just left it. Continuing down the hall, Zenaku said to himself: "Protect the castle, yeah right. Like any light wielders are dumb enough to come here." While he said it, he secretly wished it would happen. Zenaku was bored of sitting around.

 

OOC:: I'm not posting as Angel, Lu and Angel are not at Destiny Islands. Only Virgil and Selena

IC::

Violet shook her head.

"Somebody else does not though and I'd rather leave the big baby to himself with you so I don't hear him whine."


Selena looked at him and smiled glad to have Virgil.

"I'll be alright... Thanks..." She whispered.

 

Angel looked down at her clothes then around at Traverse Town.

"Traverse Town?" She looked at him confused. She remembered this place, it was the world her old friends and her came to shortly after Twilight Town was destroyed, she also remembered fighting Marluxia here, something she's not happy to remember, but looking back on it, she wasn't happy fighting him and not only that, minor signs, very, very, very minor signs of recognition and comfort for him.

"Why are we training here?" Angel asked confused looking around.

 

Angel quickly caught on to the sudden mood change and quickly pulled Marluxia away. She pulled him far off where they were standing at a water fountain in as it's called, the fountain district.

"Lu, why would you bring me here? Here of all places?" She sighed. "I don't want to bother with them, I'd be content with never seeing them again. Can't we train somewhere else?" Angel asked. She didn't want to see them, she didn't want to cross their path.

There would be too many questions such as what happened to you, or what did you do, why have you changed, etc. Worst of all she did not want to confront Darian.


Sky looked at Cole. He smiled.

"That sounds great, I love the extra training time."

 

Will sat calmly on his bed as his mind used his darkness to scan the town, seeing the situation as William screamed for them to run, to leave, to save themselves. But Will calmly sat, mind scanning the group. He recognized most, one newcomer. Then he saw the one on the clock tower. His best friend. The one who he hadn't seen since his last birthday. The two tentacles giving it away, but the shape and face familiar to Will as if he had seen it yesterday. He breathed heavily, one name escaping his lips. "Jordan..." He breathed, reaching towards his boots, knowing he would have to go confront him.

 

Angel looked at Lu and shook her head before walking over to the fountain. She looked in the fountain not recognizing the person she saw in the reflection. It had been so long since she saw that girl, boy has she grown, grown older in age and experience. The girl in reflection obviously has gone through a lot and her life experience as difficult as it is was clearly not over.

"Lu... I can't..." She whispered she looked back at him.

"I just can't, the girl Darian knew and loved is gone, and that same girl loved him. The truth was though that girl never existed and was not meant to exist. That girl who was me was under a spell and lived a false life. But now I'm back, how am I supposed to tell him that. How will he possibly take it? How will he react? What should I expect? Will he be mad? Will he seek revenge? Will he hurt me? Will he hurt you? Will he try to get what he wants? I can't face any of that, Lu..." Angel sighed. "I just can't..." She said clearly upset, nervous, and unsettled by that thought. She closed her eyes to stop any tears that may flow, tears caused by stress.

"I'm sorry..." Angel told him before running off.



Selena nodded her head at Virgil's words.

"Thanks, Virgil..." She told him but mentally she knew there was nothing he could do. Those words were just words, not action, no action of his could help her situation. She gripped his hands as he gripped hers.

She kissed him. She was at least happy at that moment to be alone with him and no worry at that time. The chance to be just the two of them to escape some. The chance for them to love each other and show their affection, maybe let lose.

But the truth still existed. And this may be their last time the two of them get to truly show each other their affection.



Violet shook her head.

"Deimos is doing precisely what I told Jordan to do alone. He's doing it differently though, and the wrong way." Violet thought aloud. She then looked over at Zenaku who was still in the room. "Up for a field trip?"



Sky looked up at Jordan. He was back. His keyblade appeared and he gripped it tight. There was no way he'd be able to take Jordan, but there was no way he was backing down neither.

He looked at Jordan closely thinking back to the teaching of Selena. Selena taught from her experience, so much of her experience he wish such a nice person didn't have to go through. He shook his head.

"How could you...?" Sky whispered as Jordan directed a comment towards him.

"How could you accept the darkness?! How could you abandon your friends?! How could you be willing to kill your own sister?! How could you allow the darkness to control you?! How could you be so willing to ruin their lives?!" Sky yelled at him.

"You ruined your sister, my master's, life. She had to witness her brother that she was so close to give into something so evil and then allow that evil to control him. Now she's stuck training and training others to try and save you being constantly reminded that her brother she loved so much was bad." Sky spoke.

"How could you?!"

 

"Up for a field trip?"

Zenaku turned to regard Violet. This was the first time that she had ever spoken to Zenaku directly. His face showed curiosity, and maybe a bit of surprise. However, that expression quickly changed to his usual wide, toothy grin. He chuckled a bit before responding.

"Sure, I'm up for it," Zenaku said. "What have you got in mind?"
