Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

"Rude?" steel asked, "so let me get this straight," he began. "you expect a crying young lady to drop everything, put on a smile, apologize, introduce herself as she stops crying, ask you how your day went, and generally start a long conversation before crying again and running off like she never saw you? Idiocy." he finished with a sigh. the speakers logic confused him. where did he come up with such a comment?

 

"Hoo boy...." Etrius's eyes narrowed in embarrassment. His first few minutes in the Land of Departure and he had already put his foot in his mouth. "Sorry," he said, "I had just arrived through here only to find the girl running out, so I don't know whats going on. It's only natural that I ask such a thing." He grimaced, hoping he had curbed his words well.

 

"i suppose i understand" steel replied. "I only just arrived myself to see a sudden display of Crying and comfort. Id kinda like to know whats going on myself."

 

"That's good to know...at least I'm not the only guy thats a fish out of water." Etrius said.
Etrius then did a double take on the guy. He felt something off about him. Corrupt. And the girl. He felt anger and anxiety from her. He shook his head, then pulled off his hood. His black, messy hair flowed out.
"My names Etrius. I'm from Abraxas."

 

"Hello Etrius" Steel sensed him the boy had given him an almost suspicious second glance. "I suppose i had better introduce myself as well." Steel pushed back the shoulder length blue hair from his Right eye, a piercing blue color, he didn't bother with his left eye. "My name is Steel, I hail from a Castle of Shattered Myths." He Extended his hand, which along with his arm was encased in A long Metal guantlet. As was his other arm.

 

"The Castle of Shattered Myths? My father told me that they were an odd lot, but I disagree." Etrius said, shaking Steel's hand. "He was a general for the Dark Keyblade army during the first Keyblade War. Sad to say..." He paused, looking for the right word, "Has perished to the Heartless that attacked my world, forcing me to come here."

 

"Wow... Really? Steel said as he released Etrius' Hand. Time is Out of Whack! It's a good thing i came here. I mean At this rate we'll have cavemen Attacking us." Things must be in chaos, Steel thought to himself. is that why these people are here?

 

"I came for two reasons." Etrius replied, " One of them is that I don't agree to my father's customs, and came here to make peace to the oncoming storm. The second....its a personal problem." Etrius started sounding edgy, as though the second reason hurt him.

 

"Well then Etrius, it's good to meet you and i hope we both have success in our... personal Endeavors. Now that the two of us are introduced we should become acquainted and mingle with the other Bone bags and see what information they have to offer us regarding this little Stretch in time. perhaps even make some progress on the private accounts, yes? As he finished he turned to the Wizard in Blue. "I assume this pointy man is Master Yen Sid? Good to Meet you sir. I hope you don't think me rude but I only talk this much when the mood strikes me, and right now, it's ceasing to. So I'll be over by the Wall, eavesdropping on all your conversations. Steel walked over to a spot on the wall next to a quiet looking girl folded his arms and leaned against it.

 

As Etrius watched Steel walk towards the wall, he noticed that the girl next to Steel was scowling at Etrius. "Guess some people aren't exactly happy with my comment, even after I apologized." He thought.
He turned to the white-haired girl and asked, "What is your name ma'am?"

 

"My name is Luna. Luna Kiatespira of Celestial City." Luna introduced herself as she extended her arm towards Etrius. She thought back on what Kel said to her earlier and thought to herself. What does he mean by that?Everybody that is dear to me have vanished and one of them is out there somewhere in those worlds.

 

Etrius saw more anxiety again in the girls eyes as he shook her hand. He knew he didn't want to worry her again, so instead, he made a compliment. "Something tells me that you have the makings of a fine Keyblade wielder." He said with a slight smirk.

 

Luna was a little surprised when Etrius complimented her. "Thanks. My family and everybody I knew thought that I had the makings of a keyblade master but I don't think so." Luna looked at the ground at the thought of her old home.

 

"Now you're just putting yourself down." Etrius said, "Besides, my father once told me that people from the Celestial City have the power of the moon at there side, making them shine, and just by looking at you, you seem to harness a great light and power, and I'm not talking moonlight wise." He turned toward the door to go outside and train. Just before he opened the door, he said to her, "Your light is more powerful than my darkness will ever be. If you think you can't do it, you're only fooling yourself." And he left.

 

Luna watched as Etrius walked out the door. She looked at her bracelet as she thought about Etrius' words.I have a great light and power within me? That might mean Akira has the same light as I do. Luna followed Etrius outside. "Just so you know," She began to speak, "The people of Celestial City don't just have the power of the moon on their side. They have the power of the sun and moon on their side and it determines whether or not they'll be able to wield the keyblade." Luna caught up to Etrius and smiled a bit.

 

Kel rested himself against a nearby wall as he waited. He was still within seeing range of Luna and the other person, should one try to approach him.

 

"Oh really? My family has had the power of the Keyblade for 6 generations, me being the 7th." Etrius said and returned the smile. "I gained my Keyblade at the age of 8, but I wasn't allowed to train until I was 14."
Then he walked into the clearing. There, in the middle of the clearing, stood a dummy, used to training.
Etrius turned back to Luna. " You wanna practice a little?" He asks.

 

Hearing Etrius' question, Luna summoned her keyblade. "Ready when you are!" Luna said as she started walking towards the dummy. "I earned my keyblade when i was 13 two days after my brother earned his. I trained under my father while my brother trained under my mother. Sometimes they would bring us to Master Yen Sid for about 3 days." She put the blade near her right arm.

 

As Steel thought to himself he noticed the girl next to him suddenly sink back further into the wall. She seemed upset and her gaze followed Etrius and Luna as they walked out. Steel rolled his eyes and and snorted. "Oh don't look at them like that," he glared at her as he thought to himself. "Everyone has something to contribute, and that includes you."
