Samsara nodded. "Of course I was going to carry her. Why would I ask you to do that? You didn't knock her out." she said, stepping alongside Dane. How was she going to explain the events that transpired? Pretty easily, since the way she worded things were different from what she actually meant in the first place. Making sure Alisia was still knocked out, she looked at Dane. "So you want to know what happened?" she asked, already knowing the answer. Looking back forward, she shook her head. "Well, first, I had to catch up to her. That didn't take long, but she kept dodging trees in weird patterns. Still, she was predictable. After I got close enough, I put a dark corridor up in front of her and grabbed her as she came out the other side in front of me." she mimicked the way she grabbed Alisia with one hand, eyeing Dane at the same time. "So I started to offer her some protection from people, you know, to gain her trust? Yeah, didn't work out that well. That's when she decided to cast DOOM on me." she made a growl at Alisia. "That's when I kicked her in the stomach with my knee and knocked her out." she finished, nodding. "She'll be okay, she's breathing. And I don't think anything is broken, I can't feel any differences from before I kicked her." she said, concentrating a little. She learned a bit on how to track injuries in a person, but she never cared all that much about it. The fact she remembered how to do it at all was surprising. She shrugged at this, however, deciding she probably wouldn't use this knowledge again in the future. It was a silly thing to have in the first place, because why should she care about keeping people alive? She already failed an entire world, so who cares if she ignores a few people now? Samsara was lost in thought, but she'd be listening to anyone if they started to talk.
Having had DOOM cast on her, Samsara was in no mood for games. Closing her eyes and gritting her teeth, she glared at Alisia and bared her teeth at her. What next came out of her mouth may seem as if she was stumbling with her words, but she was certainly speaking on complete sentences with no messups out loud. "E-eo-oho-oh satio-ohkae-enoka pao-ohkakae-enoka palia-ahti, e-e oae-elili pao-ohkakae-enoka kae-elili e-eo-oho-ohli a-ahsasa pa-a-ahsatie-eli tia-ahno e-eo-oho-oh ka-a-ahno sakalie-ea-ahno a-ahnoti e-enoiao-ohe-e oa-a-ahtixate-enoka e-eo-oho-oh TIE-E-E-E!" she began, breathing heavily a moment before standing back up. "E-e kano-o-ohoa e-eo-oho-oh pao-ohti a-ah pao-ohkakae-enoka tio-oho-ohno sapae-elili o-ohno noe-e, sao-oh noe-e lie-etio-ohlino tie-e pa-a-ahpao-ohli!" she calmly finished, holding Alisia's arms above her and quickly kicked her leg behind herself. Swinging it forward, she slammed Alisia in the stomach with her knee. The girl was knocked out quickly, freeing Samsara from the doom spell. Letting go of Alisia, Samsara watched her drop to the ground. "Pretty lucky I was taught about that doom spell...too bad the only way to cure it is to knock out or defeat the caster..." she said, looking down at Alisia. She was pretty close to getting killed before she took out Alisia, the timer had reached three before she was able to knock her out. "Eh, Dane won't like that I knocked her out, but what can you do when she does THAT to you? And here I was about, to give her my most precious treasure." she grumbled, frowning down at the girl. Leaning down, she picked Alisia up and held her lifeless body with one arm over the shoulder. Waving her hand, a dark corridor appeared. Samsara stepped through it and already decided on what she'd tell Dane. It was obvious that Alisia wouldn't tell him about what she said, so she wasn't that scared of her. Appearing before Dane, she nodded at him, closing the corridor behind her. "She resisted me. Cast a doom spell on me. Why does a child know such a spell?" she asked, nodding her head towards Alisia's body. "In any case, she's going to be knocked out a little longer I think, so we should probably get going now." ((OOC: Here is a translation of what Samsara said, in order. "You stupid ****ing brat, I will ****ing kill your ass faster than you can scream and enjoy watching you die!" "I know you put a ****in doom spell on me, so let me return the favor!"))
Samsara had heard the crunching of brush behind her, but only thought it was an animal running away or Dane trying to catch up. She didn't think it'd be Dane rushing forward to grab her and shove her into a tree. Her hand let go of Alisia, allowing the girl to start running. The tree shook from the impact, leaving Samsara winded and wincing. Dane certainly was stronger than she was, but the fact he at least tried to get her name right was a bonus. Listening to his threats, she eyed the way Alisia had run off to. The girl seemed slow, so it wouldn't be so hard to chase her. The fact that Dane was treating her as if she was property was sickening, however, so Samsara was silently fuming over that. Waiting for Dane to finish and listening to him, she rolled her eyes when he offered to teach her how to use a Dark Fireball. "I already know that, Dane." she said, standing upright after he let go of her. The head patting wasn't necessary, but Samsara wasn't one to complain. "Bark bark." she mocked, turning towards the way Alisia had ran. "I'm already on it. It won't take me too long, she's young and probably slow." Samsara said, rushing after the girl. Sniffing, Samsara was able to find where she was from her scent. She smelled strongly of Dane, but also had her own kind of scent mixed in. So she was pretty easy to weed out from Dane's wretched scent that had permeated Samsara's nostrils. Getting closer and closer to Alisia, Samsara could tell the girl was terrified of Dane by the way she ran through the forest in her attempts to get away. Alisia ran in a random pattern, trying not to stick to one route for too long before changing to another. It was smart, but when you weren't that fast, it didn't work that well. Believing she was close enough, Samsara stopped and opened a dark corridor. The corridor opened in front of Alisia, causing the girl to run through and right into Samsara. The corridor closed behind her and Samsara grabbed onto Alisia. The girl tried to struggle away, but Samsara shook her head. "Don't resist, I don't want to hurt you." she said. Holding Alisia's wrists, Samsara knelt to the ground and looked up at Alisia. "I'm Samsara. What's your name? It can't possibly be slave," she said, making a disgusted face at the word. "I'd like to say sorry for dragging you earlier, I was trying to get away from Dane because I was pretty angry at him." Samsara sighed, looking down at the ground and then back to Alisia. "I want you to know that if you ever get scared, and if that friend of yours that you obviously have protecting you is not there, I want you to know I'll protect you. Nobody deserves to be a slave to something or someone that treats them so cruelly. The mass animal genocide probably didn't help a young girl such as you, anyway..." she said, frowning at her words. "Before we got, you must agree and acknowledge I've said this. Don't ever tell Dane, no matter what. He'd probably kill me and you if he found out I said I'd protect you. Okay?" she asked.
"Can it, Skittles." Samsara said to Lucien. He was getting more and more annoying the longer she was around him. What could she do, though? He was the "leader" guy that seemed to know more about their mission than anybody else. Looking around the forest, Samsara couldn't see a thing that would point them in the direction of this Hero. What did he look like? What was his name? Those were questions that Samsara wanted answers to, but nobody knew. "If we at least knew his name, we could have gone and asked if anybody had heard of him. So far, doesn't seem that way." she said, moving a piece of hair behind her ear. Hearing Dane speak to Lucien reminded her about him. Oh how could she simply forget Dane. His cocky attitude should have been enough to make her remember him. "Dane's right. What's wrong with killing a few things? At least if we do that, someone or something will come out here to try and stop us." Samsara agreed. As Dane went on to talk to Alisia, Samsara heard him grace her ears with yet another name that wasn't her own. Then he had the audacity to blame her for changing names. A twig snapped in the forest and so did Samsara as she turned towards Dane and grabbed him by the collar. "Look here you self-entitled dick." she started, gritting her teeth at him. These teeth were sharp, mind you, so she could probably bite him if she wanted. But she's not like her mother, going around biting people, she's far too smart. "It's only been an hour and so far you've gotten my name wrong at least five times. How much longer do I need to remind you before you get it right? Do I need to beat it into you?!" she threatened, a dark aura forming around her. Just because Dane was her teacher, didn't give him the right to continue mocking her every waking moment. "My name is Samsara and I'd appreciate if you actually got my name RIGHT, FOR ONCE IN YOUR DAMN LIFE." she yelled, her voice echoing in the silent forest. The funniest part of this was that Samsara was a full 5"2 and Dane was like 6"2. Letting go of Dane, Samsara grabbed Alisia's hand and starting walking with her and Lucien towards wherever they were going. She wasn't holding the girl's hand hard, but she wasn't holding it softly, either.
Watching Dane, Samsara saw the little bird have no chance against Dane. He then ordered Samsara to kill more and Alisia to clean up the bird he previously killed. First things first, Samsara had to remind Dane once again that her name isn't Samantha or whatever he wanted to make up next. "It's Samsara, Dane. If you're such an intelligent being of darkness, I'd thought maybe you would at least remember that." she rolled her eyes, stepping towards the ditch that Alisia dumped the bird in. "So sad." she said, stepping out from the woods to see all the creatures that gathered were mourning the loss of this one bird. "It's okay, it'll all be over soon..." she said, raising her hand up. If she could use Thundaga, a spell she knows but can't really control, then adding darkness would make it Dark Thundaga, right? Crackling, thunderous darkness gathered in her raised hand. Soon enough, the area was ravaged by a Dark Thundaga. It killed all the animals that had gathered, even causing a tree to fall onto the bird Dane killed. Once the spell had finished, Samsara gripped her arm. The searing pain caused by the Thundaga mixed with darkness was immense, but Samsara would get over it and soon enough, numb to it. Shaking the hand to get rid of the lingering tingling, she turned around and walked back to everyone. Upon arrival, Juliet replied to her earlier question with much poison in her voice. "Best of both worlds, huh?" she said, scoffing. "Well, at least she isn't stupid enough to follow after Dane of all people." she muttered. Turning to Alisia, she grinned. "Also, you missed a couple dozen animals. Might wanna go clean that up before he gets angry." Samsara wiped her hands, as if cleaning off invisible dirt. "So when are you going to teach me anything?" she asked Dane.
Kross' silence was troubling Ananta, but she couldn't really force him to talk. Instead of bothering him anymore, she stayed silent and followed the group for now. Arriving at a large tower, she looked at it and tilted her head, wondering why the princess would be here of all places. Sure enough, the cart was here. Heading inside, Ananta took it upon herself to walk backwards up the stairs to watch their backs. She did this rather casually, placing her hands on her hips and looking down the stairs, even turning her head to listen to the group better. The party found their way to the top and luckily, the princess was there. So they got her and started the long descent down these stairs. Going up didn't seem so bad, in fact, Ananta didn't pay much attention to how far up they were. It was when they started going down that she realized that they were pretty high up. "Ya know, I'm just..." she said, turning back around and walking backwards down the stairs. Ananta was thankful that all the strength training on her world by walking backwards up and down stairs with haevy objects was finally coming into some use.
Samsara Ananta Yawning a bit, Samsara turned her head to see that a little girl was pointing at Dane while keeping close to her mother. Why a child small enough to run for mommy's coat tail was doing here, was beyond Samsara. She remembered her mother talked about how her older brother, Anta, had gone off to some war, but at least he was sixteen and not freaking nine years old. Closing her eyes, Samsara heard Dane address her. "It's Samsara, Dane. At least remember my damn name." she frowned. This was getting frustrating, but he'll learn her name soon enough. They were going to be traveling together for quite some time, so he HAD to learn her name, right? Regardless, Samsara followed after him, sniffling her nose. She could smell Bartholomew's fragrance behind her, but he didn't seem that bad of a guy. Sure he came straight out of the realm of darkness, but darkness isn't that bad, is it? It's not like it's done anything to Samsara so far. Everything that's happened so far was the goddess' fault. Well, everything except her world, but Samsara was actually starting to not care and feel no regret or sadness. She felt invigorated now. Unbound by the laws of her world, Samsara was finally free to do as she wished. Including following a guy through a dark corridor to a forest. Her shoes crunched in the underbrush as she stepped out of the dark corridor into a clearing. Looking up, she saw that the clearing was so big, considering there were tons of trees nearby. In fact, this looked more like an area in a forest that didn't have much trees for a few feet and then a ton more later. Watching Bartholomew step through the corridor and it closing behind him, she looked at Juliet and Audrey. Her eyes wobbled a bit and she closed them quickly. Knees buckling, she fell to the ground and gritted her teeth. A spelled had just been cast on her, but Samsara couldn't figure out the point of origin. Whatever it was, she stood back up and wiped the tears that had formed at her eyes from the pain. Turning back towards Audrey and Juliet, she just had to ask. "How come you both smell like you use darkness, but still reek of light? Also, why the hell is a nine year old here in the first place? Don't you have someplace to leave her?" Samsara asked, crossing her arms. Sniffing the air, she was right about these two. They sure did smell like they used darkness, but they still had the scent of light on them. It was peculiar, to say the least. Taking a closer look at Audrey, Samsara raised an eyebrow at her. She had Juliet's hair and looks, but she had blue eyes. Guess she got those from her father. Shaking her head, she glared at the nine year old to see her reaction. Everything was falling into place and Ananta could finally rest for awhile. That was, until she saw the ghost like figure of Kross appear in front of her and the others. As they left, saying goodbye or thanking her, Ananta was left wide-eyed and confused. "Kross, what are you doing? Why do you look like this?" she asked him, stepping closer and trying to grab him. Her fingers went right through, grasping wisps of his form that soon returned to him. Her fingers were left feeling cold as she stood there and tried to stop herself from crying. Opening her mouth to try and say something, she was left agape. Hugging herself, she closed her mouth and swallowed hard. Tears pricked at her eyes, threatening to spill, but she was able to stop them. Looking at Kross, she smiled sadly. "So, I guess you are going ahead?" she asked, her body shaking. "I've got so much work to do, I'm afraid I won't be able to join you as soon as you'd like me to." Placing her hands on her cheeks, she covered her eyes as tears starting to stream down her cheeks. Her voice cracked and ached as she continued to talk to him. "I always thought I'd be gone first, you know? Since I'm older and all..." she chuckled. "But I think you did something to help Ohm and Anadi, right? That's why you're leaving?" she shuddered, breathing in sharply. "I'll watch over the twins, they'll cry because you're gone, but they'll never forget you. I promise." she said, finally letting out a strained wail, falling to her knees.
Samsara Ananta "You won't believe how many idiots there are in this group." she said, ruffling her hair to get any stray cut pieces out of it. Looking up at Dane, she grabbed a sandwich and forced it into his hand with a cola. "At least eat the damn food I got for you." she grumbled. Dane was already starting to look like a bad choice, but from what he said, he's probably the best choice that there is. Everyone else seemed to be too busy with their own problems or they seemed too weak. She hated weakness in a person. It just made things harder in the long run. Oh well, it didn't matter anyway. She didn't have to directly talk to any of those people who were in that room anymore. She could finally get out there and actually do something more. Maybe she could even get accustomed to this darkness thing. Hopefully Dane wanted to actually do it and not get bored of her. From behind, she heard the voice of Skittles. Turning her head to him, she glared. Looks like he was a little off-put by the current situation, so he seemed to go away pretty quickly. But not without asking them to come back and listen to him babble about this hero. "Eh, we may as well. At least then we can blow this popsicle stand, eh Dane?" she smirked. Stepping towards the castle, she stopped and turned back towards Dane. "Oh yeah, my name's Samsara now. And I bet you aren't even listening." she rolled her eyes. Snapping her finger, a dark corridor opened beside them. "Let's just get back to Skittles for now. He's got some news or whatever from what I can tell." she said, stepping through. On the other side, everyone had gathered around to hear Lucien's little story. Crossing her arms and leaning on a bookcase, Samsara looked over at Ohm and raised an eyebrow. Darting her eyes away before he could notice, she stared at Lucien's face and slowly began to hate his voice more and more. It was as if he ate an entire crayon box and vomited the colors all over the place as he spoke. It was grating, the way his voice sounded. She just wanted to cover her ears and pretend she heard everything he said. But she couldn't do that, so she simply nodded and listened for now. She didn't want to mess with him and cause him to get angry again. Books are dangerous and knowledge is power. In the Crystal Vault, Ananta was busy preparing the 6 crystals that Gexln needed. She had a hologram panel up on a wall of a camera that showed Gexln's cell. Looking over, Ananta noticed that Xero had arrived and was talking with Gexln. Turning her head back to the crystals, she closed her eyes and opened them again to reveal her eyes were glowing a pale green. Her entire body turned into a hard substance, only her clothes and hair were not hardened like her skin. It was as if she had turned into a giant emerald covered soldier. Her hands reached forward and wrapped around the first of the 6 crystals. Now, the process of turning each of them into an item that could be used for a burst healing effect was beginning. As she worked through each crystal, her eyes glanced over the display. Gexln and Xero were not making up at all and it was obvious that what Ananta feared would happen, was about to happen. Reaching her hand up, she pulled down a light tendril from an outlet above her. She pressed it into the crystal in her hand and continued to fill the crystals with light. Time went on and she was finally on the 5th crystal. Looking up once more, she saw that Gexln was gone and that the guards were all grievously injured. Pulling down a small microphone, she spoke in the Crystallian language to a person on the other side. Soon enough, there was a medical team on the scene with the injured guards. "They'll be healed just fine." she said to herself, listening to Gexln speak to her about this Dane. Even Xero was here, albeit not moving, but she was here. Twirling her fingers, one of the light tendrils whipped at Gexln and slapped his hand that was holding his sword. "Don't hold a sword up to me, Gexln." she said, her voice sounding much more like it was in their heads than from herself in the room. "I agreed to help you, so do not act as if I was lying." she said, carefully placing the 5th crystal in a velvet bag with the others. The 6th and final crystal was going to be the strongest of the bunch. This was only because it was bigger than the rest. As she worked on the crystal, she thought of what to say to Gexln. "What if you can't defeat Dane? What will you do then? Will you run back here and take more crystals? Or will you simply let yourself die? I understand your intentions Gexln, but throwing yourself at a man and not even making a dent on him will help nobody. You must regroup and create an alliance that will help you fight the man. I'd help you, but I am sworn to not leave my world under no circumstances. As much as I'd like to help my daughter and son in this cursed time, I cannot. So please, Gexln, don't get yourself killed when you know your allies cannot help you." she begged him, tears forming at the corners of her eyes. She was crying for the fact he had lost so much because of this man and also because she knew what she did to her children was horrible. However, if she had not done what she did, she'd be subjected to scrutiny. A tear splashed on the final crystal just as it was finished. Placing it in the bag, she turned to Gexln and returned herself to normal. Holding the bag up, she placed it in Gexln's hand and held it firmly. "Be safe." she said, nodding at him. "Ah..." she said, leaning forward and giving Gexln a hug. "Koot lokk. Good luck." she said, patting his back. "Xero." she called to her. "Follow him no matter what." she nodded, watching them off.
Standing still, Ananta held the necklace in her hand. Looking down at it, she noticed one of the beads had fallen off somewhere. Tilting her head, she shrugged and looked back up. She was about to talk to Kross when she saw he had hurried off ahead. Running after him, she yelled. "Kross, come back! What's wrong?!" Ananta kept running, tripping over in the process. The necklace fell out of her hand and landed in the dirt softly. Getting to her feet, she dusted herself off and picked the necklace back up. She kept walking after Kross, holding the necklace in her hand. She finally caught up to him, but didn't talk at first. She didn't know what to say, honestly. What could she say? It was obvious that he was hurt from what happened earlier. But how was she to know? Ananta was confused and not sure if she should talk at all. As they approached their destination, she turned her head to him. Her hand reached over and grabbed his. She then squeezed it in reassurance, moving to walk behind him. She took the necklace and loomed it over his head, taking the string and tying it around his neck. "There. This is for you, the foreign island boy who's totally awesome and handsome and dreamy and foreign." she chuckled, looking at the necklace on him. "It's missing a bead, but I think I can fix it with another one later...if that's okay with you." she said, scratching her head.
Anadi Ananta Well, that was pretty fast. Anadi shrugged that off and nodded at him. "Tell me your name, first." she requested, stepping back towards the abandoned castle. This was pretty neat, she was going to be taught how to use this darkness and it took little effort to get someone. In fact, it was very easy. A lot easier than she thought it'd be. That didn't seem odd, since she was sure the guy was probably doing it for fun anyway. "So, first things first, I'm hungry. And by the way your stomach grumbled a minute ago, you're hungry too, right?" she said. "This place is abandoned, but I'm sure there's probably something I could whip up. I mean, heck, I can just walk through a corridor, steal something, and get back..." she muttered to herself, snapping her fingers. A dark corridor appeared and she held a finger up. "One moment." she said, stepping through. Moments later, she had popped back out with a bag of lunch meat sandwiches and a six pack of cola. The dark corridor disappeared and she sat down, grabbing a cola and a sandwich from the bag. "Okay, so, I gotta know. How the heck are you so deep in this darkness thing? What are we gonna be doing first?" she asked, munching her sandwich and talking between bites. Already in her mind, she was thinking about a way to change her looks so nobody will recognize her. Her voice doesn't matter, she just won't talk around people she knows. If they wanted her to talk or she had to talk, she'd probably just fake a voice to throw them off. As Dane continued speaking, Anadi was readying the magic she needed to change a few things about her. Once Dane had really finished his talking, she finished off her second sandwich and her first cola. On her feet again, Anadi dusted herself off and held her crystal in her hand. Clasping the crystal with both her hands, she brought them to her lips and closed her eyes. She whispered an incantation into the crystal and watched as a darkness swept over herself. It dissipated and revealed different clothing on her body. Her hair was now white and untied, flowing down her back. The chain on her crystal was much longer now and so she placed her crystal in her shirt, securing it in place with the belt. Pulling a knife from her back belt, she gripped her long hair in her right hand. Pressing the knife against her hair, she cut her hair short. The hair in her hand ignited and disappeared shortly after. Turning towards Dane once again. "Forget the name I told you a few moments before." she asked him. "Yes Gexln, I know you aren't trying to kill yourself. But you still aren't right in worrying your wife." she said, taking the crystals from Gexln and handing them to the children behind her. They hurried off and disappeared in the large building behind Ananta. Just as Ananta was ready to speak with Gexln again, Xero appeared out of nowhere and started yelling at her husband. Using this to her advantage, Ananta stretched her arms up. Long chains emerged from the Mother Crystal behind her and swooped down. They surrounded Gexln and soon were locked in place. His arms and hands were bound, making him unable to wield a weapon for the time being. "Although I will help you, I must put you away in prison for the murder of six innocent Crystallians. These chains are negating your darkness, thus you are unable to do much damage, if at all." she stated solemnly. Walking towards him, she put a hand on his shoulder and whispered to him. "I'll do as you asked and make these people believe you were put to death. I'll try and get Xero to calm down and once I finish my deal, I'll give her the crystals and remove the chains. Then, you two can go off and do whatever." Ananta finished, stepping away. Ten guards appeared and each took a length of chain that was attached to Gexln. They lead him down underground and to a prison cell. "Xero, you need to calm down dear. You can go talk to him in a moment when I know you're calm. Please, tell me you're calm? You can sit and take a drink of water. The water on my world is very healthy, it heals you almost instantly if you aren't a native." she offered, leading her towards the building. "I just want you as comfortable as possible while I make these for Gexln. But I cannot start on them until I know that you are absolutely calm." she said.
Anadi Ananta The darkness that Anadi used to attack Ohm had been destroyed by a mere book. "Tch..." she said, turning her head towards where the book came from. Her keyblade lifted upwards and sliced the next book in half, leaving a streak of black momentarily behind. Looking up at Skittles, Anadi rolled her eyes. She wasn't going to listen to him. Who does he think he is anyway? He's just some rainbow shitting asshole that she really couldn't give a damn about. Turning back towards Ohm, she sighed. "Look, I don't wanna sit around here with skittles screwin with us. I'll fight you later, you stupid fake. Goodbye!" she yelled, running towards the door. As the door shut behind her, she motioned her hand at the end of the hallway to form a dark corridor. "Lucky~!" she said, smirking. She passed through the dark corridor, forcing it to close behind her. On the other side, she looked around to see she was outside. Sighing, she fell to her knees and closed her eyes. Tears escaped her eyes and fell to the ground. Crunching the grass in her hands, she tore some out in frustration and threw it to the ground. She stood up and looked over to see another dark corridor had opened not too far from her. Anadi dusted her hands of any dirt and grass, wiped her eyes, and watched two men emerge from the dark corridor. One of the men had brown hair and a strange stench. The other man smelled normal and had blue hair. Wait, smell? What is this strange smell that Anadi pick out from the other man? Heck, Anadi could even smell something on herself as well. It was similar to the brown haired man's, but not as strong or foul. Shaking her head, she watched the blue hair man wander off and leave the brown haired man. Getting closer to the brown haired man, Anadi finally saw what he looked like. He was fairly good looking, but his bloodshot eye and purpley dark one were odd. "You just came out of that dark portal thing and you reek of something. Not in the way of gross garbage, but you don't smell like any of the people I was just around or that man that ran off either. Who or what are you?" she asked, frowning. Blinking, she realized how stupid that sounded and shook her head. "Um, forget I said that...at least the stinking part. Because I smell funky too, ya know. A-Anyway." she huffed. "I need help of somebody that uses darkness. And you're obviously something that has to do with darkness, so I'm asking you to help me. If it's anything, I have this." she said, summoning her keyblade in front of her. "It can unlock all sorts of things and is even a formidable weapon if used correctly. Luckily, I can use it pretty dang well, so no worries there." she smirked. "What do you say? Oh, my name's Anadi." she nodded. "You don't have to yell, Gexln." a voice said. Standing up, Ananta looked at Gexln with a blank expression. She was back in her Sage clothing, her hair kept tied in a bun with one long braid reaching down her back. A circlet was around her forehead that had a strange symbol inscribed upon it. Behind her were identical twins with white hair. Their only difference was that the boy had emerald eyes like Ananta, while the girl had dark blue eyes like Kross. Ananta turned her face to them and muttered something under her breath. The two children nodded and stood behind her. "Don't you have better things to do than stand around and bark at me like I'm some dog? Do you not have a wife and child to protect? The way Xero looked, she was so sad and pitiful. Yet she ran off after you without even blinking an eye...what happened Gexln? I don't want you to do anything dangerous that'll get you killed, so please, what do you need? I'll help you as best as I can." she smiled at him. Her eyes wandered to the crystals in his hand. She swallowed hard and nodded towards them. "Return those and I'll give you a few orphaned crystals that hold a spell in each of them. How does that sound? I do want those you stole to be returned to their families." she offered.
Standing there, Anadi clutched her keyblade as hard as she could. She held it so tight, her knuckles were turning white. In her mind, she was going over the exchange in blows that had previous gone down. Ohm didn't even so much as lift a finger when she attacked him. Last Anadi checked, he hadn't mastered that sword of his. While he was nearly a master of his sword, Anadi was gaining strength with her keyblade. In fact, she was pretty sure her keyblade skills were far better than her magical skills. Physical attacks were what she focused on, after all, when she trained. Her mother wanted her to be a healer, but Anadi ignored her please and continued her march towards mastering her keyblade. In fact, Anadi remembered her mother saying that she was ready for a Mark of Mastery exam. "Oh well." she told herself, looking up at Ohm. He was taking off his top. A look of confusion spread across her face, not sure why he was doing this. Behind her back, the dark ball was just about ready. "Just another minute or two.." she said to herself, frowning. Her eyes gazed at Ohm, watching as he twisted to show a tattoo of a star on his shoulder. Anadi's eyes widened and she gasped. How could this fake have a tattoo that only she and her family knew about? This goddess must be a mind reader or something. Anadi turned her body enough so that her left leg was moved away from him. She dared not let the fake have a look her own tattoo. "Don't you Ana me you FAKE!" she yelled. Her right hand emerged from behind her to reveal the ball of darkness that she had been creating. Holding it forward, she smirked. "Say goodbye." she said. Her hand released the dark ball and it headed right for Ohm. Unfortunately for Anadi, this dark ball was rather weak and was very easy to deflect.
The keyblade struck the marble flooring with a loud THUNK and left many cracks at the impact site. Glaring down at the keyblade, Anadi frowned harder and gritted her teeth even harder. Standing up straight, her keyblade stood tall. It was stuck in the marble for the time being, but Anadi didn't care. Grabbing the hilt, she yanked on it and pulled it out with ease. "Nice look of confusion, you fake." she said, contorting her bared teeth into a wicked smile. "But it's not going to stop me from destroying you." she yelled, lunging forward and swinging her keyblade at him again. A loud clang could be heard as her keyblade and his sword met. "Look at you, you even have a fakey sword!" she scoffed. Their weapons met a few more times before Anadi hopped back. "Don't worry, I'll try to make this quick for you." As she stood there, her right hand behind her back, Anadi decided to ask this 'fake' some questions. "So, let me ask, did this goddess send your sorry ass here to try and stop us? Just like she did with that horse? Or was it because she just wanted to torment a girl who lost her home and her family?" Anadi questioned, tilting her head. "I bet she doesn't even know about the tattoo's we share. If you're just a fake, you'd never be able to have it because we hid them so well." she chuckled. "Ain't having a father with weird family traditions just great?" she said, laughing louder.
"Only an hour? You sure don't care if people are really there to help you or not." Anadi commented before Jackie had gotten into explaining this hero business. Apparently, some goddess of some world or whatever was being corrupt. Obviously she needed to be stopped. "Maybe that's why that horse attacked us...it was the goddess..." she crossed her arms and tapped her chin. If this goddess had really sent that horse to attack their group, that means somebody had to have been sent to spy on them. That would be the only way to explain how she knew they were in the realm of darkness, after all. The only question, however, is who it could be. Jackie, Blanc, and this Ghost guy. Anadi could only suspect those three, after all, but they may suspect Anadi. It'd be silly to do so, since Anadi had never even heard of this goddess before in her life. Waving her hand and shaking her head to dispel these thoughts, Anadi looked at Jackie. "Well, maybe it was the goddess that sent that horse to attack us?" she asked, turning around. "I mean, that's the only way to expl-" she stopped mid-sentence, her eyes widening at the person she saw in the same room. Standing tall, navy blue hair flowing down and sword to his side, was Ohm. It seemed he had just appeared out of nowhere. But why was he here? Crystallis was destroyed, there was no way Ohm could be alive. "How dare that goddess do such a think...P'tak..." she cursed under her breath. Baring her sharp teeth, she summoned her keyblade and leaped towards Ohm, swinging her keyblade hard at him. This goddess was just toying with Anadi now. Unfortunately for the goddess, Anadi was not going to just stand by and let her do such things. Anadi was going to fight back and get this hero to come and personally kick the goddess' ass. How dare this goddess try and use the visage of her own brother to trick her!
Looking around her, Ananta noticed all the heartless were gone. Her group was successful in completing their mission. She smiled, happy that they were done fighting for the moment. Turning around, she saw Donald, Goofy, and Mickey running towards their group. From what they said, the Princess was now gone and needed to be rescued. Of course, at first they were all sad. Understandable, since they were so set on trying to protect the Princess after all. Ananta understood what it felt like to not be able to protect something you cared for. Shaking her head, she followed Mickey and Goofy as they dragged poor Donald behind them. Turning, she noticed Kross still had a sullen look from earlier. Not wanting to leave him hanging, she walked along beside him. "Hey Kross. Sorry about earlier, I was trying to talk to Steel, but apparently he doesn't want to speak with me. Are you going to be okay?" she asked him, frowning a little. "Oh, I had something I wanted to give you...but I lost it. It was in that bag of food I got for us back in Disneytown. Now it's gone...I'm sure I stuck it in my pocket, but I'm not sure...did you see it?" she asked him.
I'd like to spend 1 point on HEART for Ananta for MAGIC I'd also like to spend her crowns like this 30 crowns to get 2 points in DEFENSE 8 crowns to get 1 point in MAGIC Stat changes: Magic 25(+5) -> 27(+5) Defense 13(+2) -> 15(+2) I'm not sure if my Magic is high enough to increase my MP or not....

Anadi Ananta Well, that was pretty straight forward. Anadi wasn't sure how to answer Jackie. She wasn't even sure about her own keyblade much less this new magic she's got. Listening to Ghost, she crossed her arms and grumbled to herself. What and why does she even have the keyblade? She can't remember. She swears her parents told her why, but as of now, she cannot remember. Closing her eyes, Anadi began to think of what she could tell Jackie. "Well...I can't remember when or where I got my keyblade. My parents both had keyblades. Ohm never got one for whatever reason..." she said, scratching her cheek. "But for as long as I can remember, I was taught how to fight and use my magic. Of course, my physical abilities were far better than my parents, so they let me and Ohm train together. But...I couldn't take it much longer...then my world was destroyed by heartless." she frowned. "As for that dark magic, it's something I just started using...maybe a few months ago? One day during training, I got way angry at Ohm and I shot some dark ball at him. My dad immediately rushed forward and repelled it, calming me down. That's all I remember. The fire that I used against that horse was something new I just learned to do. It was pretty cool." Anadi said. She really wanted to experiment or maybe find somebody else that could use the darkness. It was scary, but cool. Anadi was overcoming her fear of it and she was sure she'd eventually be able to use it effectively. "What about you and Blanc? How'd you guys meet and stuff?" she asked. "Oh yeah, and that hero thing. Why do we need the hero again? What's he gonna do?" While Ananta still had questions for everyone, she saw how hurried they were with leaving. "It's okay, please be careful. Come see me later, alright?" she called to Xero through her dark corridor. Turning back to Kross, Ananta crossed her arms. "Things are getting fickle. We need to clean this up, make a story, and try to make people forget about this whole mess." Ananta nodded at him. Turning back around, Ananta stood by all the bodies. She lifted her arms up and moved her fingers, causing each body to float and lay on the grass in front of a house. One by one, they laid next to each other. Reaching into her pocket, Ananta pulled out a small device and pressed a button, causing a holographic screen to appear. Tapping it a few times, Ananta spoke to the screen. "Send me two vans that fit about 4 bodies each. A clean up crew is also needed. Tell them that it was a huge murder spree, the suspect killed himself." she nodded at the screen and put the device away. "Once they're here and gone, we need to get back home. The twins are a handful and I'm sure the babysitter wants to get home and deal with her loss." she said.
