The older woman Aeradel walked up to was sitting down on the deck of her home. This was where most of the people tended to be, outside and on the decks to let the sunlight seep onto them during the day in the cold mountain air. This particular older woman was holding a book, and had seemed to be in a bit of reading before Aeradel spoke, but when the name was spoken, Aeradel had their full attention. The village was just constantly in a state of distance and denial brought upon by the disconnect to the animals. The woman looked skeptical at the idea of freeing magic, and still looked skeptical at the... smaller man's remarks. She looked over at Aeradel and spoke, "Many of us are too old or too young. Those who were more equipped for battle left... though."

The old woman looked a bit nervous before saying, "We do have a talented swordsman here, but they have become one of our only sources of defense if anything were to happen... I... will admit it feels worrying to suggest you asking them..." the old woman looked over at a house across the way and cupped her hands and said in almost a bird-like song voice for her age, "Revasilsizaan!" the names generally just merged together when spoken in that way.

Reva heard her name and immediately looked up. She always came to when her name was called by an elder. She placed the large bear skin down and grabbed a rag and tried to wash the blood off her hands before walking over. As she got closer, she noticed the strangers of the village were there. And the closer she got, the more she immediately realized who these people were. When she approached, she stared at the group for a while, particularly at Aeradel. The old woman motioned and said, "Reva, this is-"

"Aeradel Blackburn." Reva finished, the old woman looking surprised. Reva's voice sounded hoarse, like it had been a very long time since the last she had spoken. She put the rag in the bag and the old woman said, "You seem to know your royalty then. Didn't honestly know you paid attention to that."

Reva looked at the woman and shook her head and spoke, "I don't." she looked at Aeradel and said, "I would be surprised to see you, but I had a feeling this was inevitable."

The old woman looked at her and said, "She's here to ask-"

"My answer is no." her voice was almost worn to the point of being unable to understand her, "I can help you get any weapons or any herbal supplies you may need, and could even get you food. That is it however. But this plan of yours is a fool's quest, and I'd rather keep my head and help my village."​

Mora looked to Alder and that hope that was in her eyes briefly was gone. She played with her hands nervously, picking at her nails as she said, not even certain in the slightest with her words, "I... I don't care what they think of me in the end. As long as they're safe, I don't need them to approve of me..."

Ria heard Chrono speak and pulled their hood back up and walked on over towards him, pretty close to an arms reach as he said, "I haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about, Chrono. If anything, you took something from me. And I need it back. And once I do have it back, well. You aren't exactly needed anymore." Ria reached on over and grabbed Chrono basically by the hair. Chrono should have felt pain, he was trying to do something very similar to what he did to Xen and Chloe. But resistance was very easily put up and Ria started being the one to look in pain rather than Chrono, as Chrono shouted, "What's mine is mine, nobody else!"

Ria backed off, breathing heavily and saying, "You brat!" and punching Chrono in the face and recoiling saying, "I'll end you and your waste of an existence. You hear me? You failed at your own game and I'm the better player now, and I'm not going to let you stay in my way and mess up everything. I'll make your suffering painful for making this last as long as it has." Ria staggered away. He looked over at Mora and pushed her away from the circle, away from Alder, and said, "If you're gonna be weak about it, get out of here before he can change your mind. Or I'll end all of their existences right now." Mora looked in fear and she looked over at Alder, tears forming in her eyes before she bowed her head in apology and ran off, away from the group.

Ria stood looking at where Mora was and said, "Funny thing about people who wanna do the right thing. They can be easily manipulated. And she's quite the sheep. She isn't strong enough to hold her own will, but she cares a lot about her parents, and her friends. She doesn't have the power to distance herself from those emotions. I know you can empathize with having to work with people that way."

Take was tossed back in pain at the hit, as he did not have his keyblade to defend him so he took the brunt of the damage. He looked towards where it had gone and he held his hand out to re-summon his keyblade back over to him. He did his best to try and firm his grip up so he could hold onto it despite the weight. He was doing his best to hide his stress, but he was going through a bit of a panic over the fact he couldn't keep a decent grip on the keyblade after nearly a month of training. He was raised on a world where he was a warrior since he was at least ten. He had five years under his belt using a sword and shield, but he was not at all trained in two handed weapons. And there were some people holding it with one hand but there was no way, it was so heavy. At least to him. Or perhaps it was just more cumbersome to him?

Take looked over at Mika when he was addressed and made sure to keep a straight face as he responded, "Yeah. I'm alright. You alright?" he was not alright but he had no reason to admit otherwise. He took a deep breath, homeworld training came back to him. Under fire, remain calm. Show no fear. Strike in with force but do not over-swing or it opens one up for attack with no defense. He got himself into a stance before he took a quick breath and charged at the next set of enemies.

This time, he had no problems. He handled the keyblade almost as if the last round was just a fluke, he went after two soldiers this time and suffered from very little recoil upon hitting them, after having a bit of a toss up for a while, both of the heartless faded. His back to the group, for no one to see his face, made him appear as though he was composed and had it together. But his face was distressed and sweating just the slightest bit. He took another breath to calm himself down and recomposed before he moved back towards Mika and said, "I've got your back if anything jumps at you, alright?"

Mora looked over at Alder and there was a moment where she seemed to ponder what Alder said, conflict in her eyes. But that was until a portal was heard behind her, and she turned to go look over as Ria walked on out of the portal. Seeing the work done, there was a sort of perverse joy to come out of their voice over them being in the portal. As Ria spoke, the tone that seemed to prevalent was clearly the closest to Chrono's voice, "So you got three of em, good job! The leader, the dog, and the shell!" Ria walked into the circle with no restraint as he walked up to Kara and touched her face, holding her chin upwards as he said, "And the leader is sleeping. Typical. Always the dreamer." he let go of her face and said, "It looks like you're almost done, you've got almost everyone important."

"You said I only had to get as many as I could."

"I know the rest are heading this way, I need you to only get one more. If they come here, just try to get them into the circle and that's all I'll need."

"Which person?"

"There's a boy in the group with darker hair. But not the one with black hair."

"That's... hard to decipher. Can you do the face thing like you did with Ae-"

"I have no access to anything of theirs. So I cannot change my face."

Mora looked confused and Ria sighed out in frustration, "They just look like a girl okay. Listen, it doesn't matter. They're a major problem to me, and if you get them in there, everyone'll be safe."

Mora's eyes lit up at the idea of everyone being safe and nodded saying, "I've got it."

"...you all already tried to save my village. And you only made it worse." Mora responded to Kara, shaking and clenching her fist in anger before she chuckled a bit, more out of nerves than out of enjoyment. She then looked over at Alder and said, "And he's the reason they're asleep, so he HAS to have the power to wake them up! He might be the only way they wake up!" she then looked over at Chrono and said, "And I don't particularly like to be lectured about not trusting people for killing two people by someone who betrayed all of his partners and is the reason I am stuck in this mess and why you are all ill equipped to help me." Mora's face softened a bit before walking slightly closer to Chrono and looking him in the eyes and asking, "Or am I wrong, Aevum?"

Ria let out a sigh and disappeared instantly before Relli could hit him. This caused Cerdic simply to plummet to the ground. As Ria reformed some place else, they heard a very loud whisper and chuckled, "I think I've officially killed enough time... I've got an appointment to make. But I'm coming back for that journal later. So I hope you're ready. But I've gotta go deal with three of you." and a portal reappeared as he turned to walk in saying, "Have fun with my heartless friends though."

There were about 50 shadows from blocking the path. You can try and make it through them without fighting, or fight through. Group choice is a a fun one sometimes.

There was a sudden flickering done to the dark orb and a loud whisper-like noise. And a giant circle started to form on the ground, around at least Kara and Chrono. If Alder tried to back away, Mora suddenly ran up behind him and pushed him heavily and harshly into the circle, and darkness began to seep up and snare them all. Mora stared at the group and said, "Ya know... Ria told me I should be cautious with you guys since he was certain you would be more cautious about it... but this'll work."

Mora folded her hands together and said, "I'm sorry, he found me before he found you. We have a deal you see, I capture as many people from your light group possible, he lets my village free... I didn't think he'd jump in and kill two of you... but it made my job easier. I guess..." Mora moved a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "I'll tell you this though, the more you struggle, the more painful it gets... and then you fall asleep. Just like everyone else here. So I would just wait if I were you..."

Ria let out a sigh and outstretched their arms for the heartless to surround him, as if for protection. This caused Cerdic and Daeni to bounce back, Daeni back towards the group and Cerdic away from the group. Ria walked on over to Cerdic saying, "I didn't think you'd all be so offended by the idea of losing darkness. Weren't you all babbling on back in the day about how much you hated darkness? I figured at the very least you'd all be beaming over the idea of basically being pure light."

Ria leaned on down and picked up Cerdic by the collar. There was only so far the cloaked figure could lift him, the figure being only around 5'9'' while Cerdic was 6'2''. But once Ria had him up, his voice distorted, and spoke exactly in Cerdic's own voice, "Why don't you just give me that journal, you spoiled brat, and I'll let you on your way so you can stop pretending to be something useful. I mean, you're just garbage, just like Grandpa always said you were. So why try fighting when he'll never approve of you. You should just give up."

Mora looked scared, trying to stay behind the rest of them as if for protection. Then she noticed something towards the center of the town, and she pointed over at it saying, "I-is it... is it that thing?"

In the center, there was this broken looking dark orb that was just swirling with darkness in an uncontrolled manner, it looked as though the darkness in the cave was coming directly from that. There seemed to be a type of... keyhole within the orb. Mora looked at it and asked, "Do you think your keyswords can do anything to that thing?" she asked almost as if it wasn't an actual question. Like there was a hint of certainty to it.

I would like to ask for you to reread, I was wondering what people liked and did not like about pineapple on pizza specifically. not whether or not it is "wrong or right" to put pineapple on pizza.

People tend to describe the taste as "sweet & sour" and I just honestly find it tastes more sour naturally.

This is probably a better solution for what we've been needing. A lot of staff have a particular discomfort with moderating in a chatroom setting (well, I know I do) and I'm sure there are people much better qualified for that who are already active in the discord.

I am curious though because this wasn't said: do you intend for discord moderators to only have staff related powers in the discord, or are you attempting to offer this as another position easily spotted on the site?

Kaida used cure on Ignis and prayed they had something up their sleeves in order to end this fight this round.

Powerline helped boost Kaida's confidence a bit over how much damage she did. She took a moment to breathe before her keyblade resonated ever so slightly. She looked on over at Hikaru and said, "Hey. Hikaru." she readied herself up and said, "You go low." before she began charging at the boss, not fully sure what was going to happen necessarily.

Kaida started a fusion limit with Hikaru

Aelis had this look of pondering for a moment after he mentioned leaving to someplace nice and get a drink. She was feeling parched and did not think some older man would be trying to ask someone her age out on a date. Placed her hand up to her chin while pondering before saying, "I mean, I'd normally be up for a drink, but I don't wanna get expelled the first day for not going to the opening ceremony. And you did just ask instructions on how to get there from..." Aelis took a moment to process the comment he had made about the other person being... boring. Aelis walked passed the man asking about the drink to walk up to the blue haired guy and said, "Babyface over there said you're the boring type. Would you consider yourself boring? I mean, I just met you, I don't even know your name. But I guess being a bore is something that can be picked up relatively quickly and I have always been curious what the personality of someone boring is like. Or is listlessness mixed up with the boring personality?" Aelis looked between the two saying, "Or, am I missing the concept entirely? I mean, if I'm fascinated by someone who is boring, is it ruining the overall point?"

Kaida decided she was tired of not doing that much damage and used powerline, hoping it didn't do anything to help the boss at all.

Kaida used Powerline

​

Take went after a soldier but he wasn't ready and also Take just totally could not hold onto the keyblade and it went flying in another direction and ended up killing two shadows. Considering the fact he had been trained with swords for years he wasn't sure what the point of this training was if he couldn't even hold the blade properly but whatever things died and he didn't go into maximum overdrive

Kaida used air combo again, knowing the damage is bad but CG is great

Kaida used Air Combo because Maximus is still here.

Ria listened to Cerdic's question and chuckled at his question, "That's a question... what am I? What are you? Does anyone really know the answer to that? Mmm... I guess I know." Ria walked a bit closer to the group and replied, "I am a result. A dark result to a tantalizing hypothesis." The cloaked figure crossed their arms and said, "I'm pretty sure Aevum doesn't even remember what he took from you if we are being completely fair. But I know, and Aevum can't give that back to you. Because Aevum is lost, and soon all fragments of what remains will be gone. That's why. I need his journal, and I know you all have it."

Ria laughed a little and said, "A Giga heartless told me you guys found it."

Mora was silent for a moment when he asked that question before saying, "I uh... I got separated early on. I didn't actually trust what was going on was a big deal..."

As Alder opened the house, there were three people inside, but all of them were asleep and had this aura of darkness around them. They were moving as if constantly in a nightmare. If they looked through all the houses, everyone was like this. Some people were in chairs sitting up with this happening. One person was actively standing up with this same problem.

Mora looked at all of them, scared and asked, "W-why are they... what is going on?!"

Kaida used a combo on the assault dragon while I accrue a "will edit later" queue larger than joce's
