Anta scoffed at Dain's words. He acted like a total jerk, the way he sat there and tried to be a big man. He was a fool to think he could easily sit here and take on all of these alone. He should be happy that people even considered helping him, seeing as he acted in such a way. "We don't need you telling us what to do." she retorted, tapping her foot on the ground. The ground moved under Dain and caused a small hump in his way that would most likely trip him if he didn't pay attention. Turning to Dawn, Anta listened to her talk. "No, I can tell your wound is bad...it...it just has a dark feeling to it. Like poison. I'd rather mend the wound before it gets ba-" she spoke, getting interrupted by Dimitri as he stood there and grabbed her arm. Dawn's face looked painful as he kept a tight grip on Dawn, demanding to take her to the hospital. Dawn tried to talk back against him, but he still kept a tight grip on her arm. Looking at Dawn's eyes, Anta sighed and placed the bladed end of her staff back into it's sheath. "Look, you...purple haired...brute." she began, glaring at Dimitri. Anta stepped between him and Dawn, crossing her arms. Her own emerald eyes were glaring daggers at him now. "This girl is clearly wounded and all you can do is MANHANDLE her? You're a bad man, let her go. I'm going to heal her before she gets poisoned by whatever this is. Do you WANT her to die? I certainly would not want anybody to die from such a wound. I may not know much about this wound, but I certainly can tell that it's a bad injury." she huffed. Turning to Dimitri's hand on Dawn's arm, Anta placed her hands around the spot. "Obviously this girl is precious to you if you're standing here and trying to protect her. But right now, you certainly are NOT helping her. So please, let me take care of her." she frowned, eying the wound. "Why not deal with the axe man? He's been checking out this girl ever since she got over here." she smirked, thinking this would be fair payment for his blatant sexism. Turning her head to Dawn, Anta smiled. "I'm Anta. I live in the woods and create healing salves as well as maintain the woods. What's your name?" she said, a slight blush on her face. Her voice also returned to it's barely audible state, having previously been much louder to try and get her point across.
"Librarians?" Ananta questioned, looking at Base. What in the world was he thinking, trying to deceive the princess. In any case, Ananta turned back and listened to her describe the dream festival. Listening to the description made her remember a festival of sorts back on her own world. Smiling, she looked up at the princess. "The festival sounds wonderful. I'd love to be able to go. It reminds me of home..." she sighed, standing up. "I'm going to go check on Beuce. See if maybe he's gotten a hand with his injuries." she whispered to Base. Ananta didn't want Minnie to worry, especially since Beuce's injury was so grievous and all. Jumping down the ladder hole, Ananta landed on the floor and soon fell to her knees. She was still weak from the battle, but she'd get over it soon enough. Walking to the bathroom, Ananta rummaged through the closet, searching for a first aid kit. Once she had found one, she checked to make sure it had plenty of gauze. Sighing in relief at how many gauze rolls there were in this big backpack, she swung it over her shoulders and turned back to the closet. She grabbed a sheet and stuffed it into the first aid backpack. "This'll make for a decent cloak...for now." she sighed. Walking downstairs, she found Beuce and tapped his arm. "Beuce, let me help you." she said, turning around to show the first aid backpack she found. "It's got lots of stuff and I'm sure you'd like to cover that up before it got infected." she nodded. "Also..." she said, taking the backpack off, she pulled out the sheet she had grabbed. It was navy blue and not that big. "Once you're all cleaned up, this could be a cloak of some sort to cover you up." she said. "How's that sound?"

Anta's day was pretty uneventful so far. For the first half of her day, she woke up very early. Before dawn had even broken the horizon with an explosion of color. She awoke feeling strange and decided to go out into the forest that surrounded her home. She felt most at home when she had many of the earth's plants around her. They each sang their own song and she could ear it as she sat outside her home. The ground was wet with dew and thus, her pajamas were now soaked. She didn't let that deter her from meditating, however, as she continued to sit and closed her eyes. Much later, Anta was now leaving her home. Turning around, she locked the door and turned back to the path that lead from her home to the street that ran through the forest below. "What was that?" she asked herself, walking with her staff in her hand. It was a pretty large staff, the top of it was taller than she was and Anta was 5 feet 11 inches herself. She used the staff as a sort of walking stick because the path was pretty uneven going down. A few times, she nearly tripped as well. Especially today, her mind was in the clouds. "The earth is singing a somber song...I...I don't know what it means..." she admitted to herself as she reached the road. Looking both ways, she walked to the bus stop that was a bit down the road. Sitting on the bench, she crossed her legs and laid the staff across her lap. "Whatever it is, I hope things don't go bad today. I'd hate to have to fight, even if my staff doubles as a bladed weapon..." she thought to herself. The bus arrived moments later and soon enough, Anta was dropped off at the shopping district. Stepping inside a shop, she didn't notice the commotion outside until she left the shop a bit later with a cookie in her mouth. She bit hard on the cookie when she saw people were fighting some strange dark creatures. Stuffing the other half of the cookie in her mouth, Anta ran and jumped into the fray, slashing a creature in half. It soon disappeared and left a strange dark goop on Anta's blade. "Strange..." she muttered, looking up to see a girl that was fighting a bit away. Her arm was bleeding, but she told another person with an ax that she wanted to fight and wouldn't listen to people telling her to leave. Anta scooted closer and looked down at Dawn. "At least let me cover your wound with a bandage..." she said meekly, her voice barely audible above the commotion.
the one that's really damaged is zexion's since we never saw his weapon before...so they kept it a secret i think? xion never got a tombstone because she was never an actual member
Watching Base, Ananta had listened to those speaking around her. They all had their points, but it looked like Base was more than brave enough to explore the house. Turning to Kross, Ananta smiled at him. "I'm going to follow Base. It's already crowded enough in here...I don't really like being around a lot of people..." she confided, sighing. Certainly, so many people in the room was making her a tad claustrophobic at the moment. "Don't worry, you can follow me if you'd like." she said, nodding at him. Turning around, she slipped her hand out of his and left the bedroom. Base appeared out of another door and was speaking to Steel about blowing up the house. "Oh Steel..." Ananta sighed. "Calm yourself, please Steel!" she called out to him, wherever he is. Following Base, Ananta went downstairs and looked around with him. The house was pretty normal, minus the few appliances that were a tad bit smaller. As they finished looking in the living room, a sound of wood hitting wood could be heard from upstairs. Ananta looked to Base to see what he was going to do. He ran up the stairs and stopped, staring at the end of the hall. "What is it?" Ananta said, standing behind him. Peering over his shoulder, she could see a ladder had descended from the ceiling. "That's scary.." she commented, shaking a little. Glen had already ran and climbed the ladder, somehow closing the attic door once again. Base then started to jump for the string to the attic. Ananta was about to help him when she saw the attack door and staircase was not happy. They both attacked and nearly killed Base. Ananta closed her eyes and covered her face, not wanting to see the gruesome sight. Luckily, Base was fine and was able to climb to ladder. Not wanting to be left behind, Ananta soon followed and climbed the ladder. Up at the top, she heard Base speaking with another person. The voice was very feminine, so Ananta knew it was a lady at least. Once she stepped forward and stood beside Base, Ananta saw that it was another mouse. She looked just like the one in the picture except a girl. Base spoke her name, causing Ananta to turn to him. "Minnie? You know her?" she said, turning back to the mouse. As the small mouse corrected him, Ananta blinked. "Oh! A Princess!" she said, remembering being told to protect Princesses at all costs. At least, that's what she thought she was told, her memory was a little foggy on the subject right now. Continuing to listen to Minnie, Ananta heard her speak of some sort of festival. As Base stepped forward to mess with a box behind Minnie, Ananta decided to step closer. Kneeling down, Ananta bowed her head. "Princess Minnie, what is this Dream Festival you mentioned?" she asked, looking back up at the Princess.

Ananta watched R step back. As the strong winds blew over them, she knelt down to keep Anta from blowing away. When the winds stopped, she heard his breathing deepen and felt his body getting warmer and warmer. Looking up, she saw his crystal began to shine once again. Tears poured from her eyes in happiness. Anta was going to be fine, although he was going to need some time before he woke back up, he'd be fine. Standing up, Ananta looked at Gexln and Xero as they had their happy exchange. It was then that Gexln approached her and Kross, telling them thank you for helping. Ananta nodded at him, turning to Kross. Kross then mentioned the promise he had previously made on Crystallis. "I'd be happy for that, Kross." she said, smiling at him. Looking around, she looked to see if anybody was looking before she grabbed Kross by the cheeks and gave him a kiss. Pulling from the kiss, she smiled. "Let's get home with Anta. He'll be happy to know the fight is over. We can finally rest..." she sighed, hugging onto Kross. Behind her, Anta was sleeping soundly now. He was having dreams of many things, but one thing was for certain, he would be happy to know the whole war was over. Spoiler: 5 and a half years later... Anta woke up in his bed and groggily started walking. He stopped at the crib that sat at the end of his bed and looked down to see a crying infant inside. Lifting the child up, he nuzzled the baby girl with dark green hair, humming a tune to try and calm her down. "I bet you're hungry, huh...?" he asked her, looking up at his bed. His wife, Amelia, was not there. Blinking slowly, he realized that it was 3pm. Of course she wasn't here. She was off practicing for a big concert. Being the lead guitarist, she had to practice a lot with her band members. Sighing to himself, he turned around and walked out of his bedroom. He slowly made his way downstairs and turned towards the kitchen. Inside was his step-father Kross, throwing spices and other things onto lunch. "Hey..." he groggily said to Kross as he opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of milk Amelia had prepared for their baby, Mia, that morning. Placing the bottle in Mia's mouth he began walking out of the kitchen. As he left, he heard Kross say good afternoon or something. He didn't really care, seeing as he never agreed to adopting Kross as his step-father. Ananta walked through the front door in time to see Anta walking out of the kitchen with Mia. "Good afternoon, dear." she said to him. He greeted her with a grunt as he walked towards the living room. Chuckling, she moved out of the way of the door to see Bleu carrying the groceries in her hands. Kross needed a few ingredients before he could finish making lunch, or even start on dinner, so Ananta volunteered to go to the store for him. She may be 6 months pregnant, but she wasn't going to let that stop her from going to the store. "Come on, Bleu, we need to take those to your daddy so he can finish lunch." she smiled, shutting the front door. As they walked into the kitchen, Kross turned around and quickly pulled a chair out for Ananta. She shook her head and instead kissed his cheek. "It's alright, dear, I was going to head into the living room and sit in my favorite chair. Besides, Bleu wanted to hear THAT story again." she chuckled. Kross nodded, blushing deeply from the kiss, and took the groceries from Bleu. Taking Bleu's hand, Ananta was lead into the living room. Sitting down in the biggest, comfiest chair, Ananta sighed in relief. Folding her hands on her protruding belly, she closed her eyes and faked going to sleep. "Mommy! You promised!" she heard Bleu, feeling a tug at her arm. Opening her eyes, she looked to her left to see Bleu nearly crying. "Oh sweetie, don't cry. I didn't forget." she frowned, patting Bleu's beautiful, navy blue hair. "So, you want to hear about daddy and mommy's journey to save all the world's? Well, it all began one afternoon..." she started, recounting the tales of SOS and LVD.
Following Base up the stares, Ananta could tell Kross was tense. He had squeezed her hand quite tightly, causing her to wince. "Kross..." she started, before the lights came back on. "Oh." she said, chuckling and blowing the candle out. Her eyes wandered to the candle and noticed that there were fingers where the flame used to be. She huffed and nudged the arm away with her shoulder. She ignored Glen's words and kept the candle in her hand, just in case she needed it again, and looked up from doing so. Base entered a room and stopped, causing Ananta to wonder why he did so. Looking at the bed, she could see...D'daear and Aden were getting busy in bed. "This...isn't the time to get sexy, you two..." she sighed. When Kel spoke about a picture he had found, she turned to see Yen Sid standing with a mouse. "Why is Master Yen Sid standing with this mouse guy?" she said. "Although, the mouse looks happy." she nodded, pointing out how happy the mouse was standing next to Yen Sid and wearing a red cloak. OOC: 3/7 for Adex x D'daear
Ananta's head pounded as she knelt there. Removing her helmet, her hair flowed down and spilled all over the place. A trickle of blood spilled down the front of her face as an immense pain shot through her head. "Concussion...not too bad...I'll live." she told herself, pressing a small Cure spell onto her head to relieve some of the pain. Her eyes followed Gexln as he shot towards Chaos and dealt with him. Juliet followed after and she blinked for a moment. Turning around, she saw Anta was just lying on the ground. Gritting her teeth, she shook her head in disappointment. "Juliet, I didn't want you getting involved with this..." she sighed, continuing her limp towards Anta. Sitting down with him, Ananta stared off at Gexln's attack on Chaos. As Chaos was cut up and burnt to a crisp, Ananta ran her fingers through Anta's hair. The boy was still passed out, breathing shallowly. Tears pricked at Ananta's eyes, unsure of why Anta wasn't waking up. She had tried to heal him every time she held him in her arms, he just wouldn't wake up. As time was passing by, she could feel his crystal losing the little bit of light it had in it slipping away. "Wake up Anta..." she begged him, repeating this over and over as the world around them turned back into the keyblade graveyard. Standing up, Ananta lifted Anta into her arms. The boy was always frail. He wasn't supposed to stay in this war as long as he did. He was only supposed to stay to heal people and be an assistant. Not become a warrior. Ananta had given him such orders and yet he fought as hard as he did. Her mind began to fill with memories of raising Anta. There weren't many, seeing as she chose her duty over her son, but she still allowed him to follow her around when he was still young. Her oldest memory was of Beuce bringing Anta to her when he was a toddler. Anta had nearly fallen into the water at the base of the Mother Crystal. Luckily, Beuce had grabbed him in time. Ananta was angry at Beuce for allowing him to nearly fall, but she forgave him eventually. Other memories were flooding her mind as she was soon standing next to Gexln and Xero. Her leg nearly gave out as she knelt down and placed Anta next to Xero. He certainly wasn't as bad as Xero, but she could feel his life slipping away. Reaching a hand to Xero, Ananta placed it on her forehead and attempted to heal her even a little bit. Unfortunately, she didn't have the strength to heal her anymore. She was far too weak herself to stand up again. Tears began to fall down Ananta's cheeks as she sat there, holding Anta's hand. "Gexln..." she said, placing a hand on his back. She then hugged him and let go. "I tried...I...I couldn't do anything...my magic has run out, I'm running on empty..." she said, her voice cracking from her heart breaking. "We're both in the same predicament...I...I'm sorry..." she said, sobbing. Turning to R, she looked at him. "Please...try and save Xero first...she's worst off, I can tell...at least Anta is still breathing...." she said. For now, Anta was fine.
Ananta nodded at Kross' words. Smiling that he was at least a little happier, Ananta went with him to the mirror. As he went through, Ananta felt their fingers begin to separate. Blinking, she gripped his hand and walked through the mirror, shivering from the weird feeling the gel glass gave her. Her eyes were closed as she traveled through the mirror, not wanting to see the mirror realm. Opening her eyes again, she blinked at how dark it was. As she stood there, right hand gripping Kross' left hand, she felt a presence in the room. "I can feel something in here...not sure what it is...but it's alive and sitting over there." she whispered, pointing towards where Base was. She began to walk with Kross, carefully stepping. She heard a creak and almost died right there. Holding her hand, she cast a fire spell in her hand a moment to see that it was Base in front of her. "Oh, it's Base." she said, smiling. Looking around, she found a candle and lit it with her fire spell. Shaking her hand from the heat, she held the candle in her free hand and stood there. "Why's it dark?" she asked.
Ananta was far too busy trying to shield the unconscious Anta. She was cradling him in her arms and pressing her face against his in feeble attempts to protect him from any and all attacks that were being thrown at them. She closed her eyes when she felt the area around her changing. It had become much, much hotter than it was before. The ground beneath Ananta was warm, but luckily not as hot as she thought it would be compared to everywhere else around her. Standing up, she held Anta in her arms and looked around. Half her comrades were gone and only she and a few others were here to fight Chaos. At this moment, Ananta could only stand and look down at Anta, wondering what she could do. There was one thing she could do, but Anta was passed out... Looking up, she felt a great balance of light and dark within Juliet. The girl seemed strange, but Ananta felt as if she would be the best choice for the time being. Stepping towards the girl, Ananta looked sullen. What with Anta being knocked out and the world going to crap, but at least everything will be fine soon enough. As she approached, Ananta stared at Juliet. "Take care of him for me. This'll only be a moment." she said, handing Anta to Juliet. Turning around to Chaos, Ananta noticed Gexln running towards Chaos. Shaking her head, she ran off and stopped him with Stopaga. As he stood there, she then made sure to cast a strong Blizzaja on his legs. She hoped this would keep him still so she could at least fight Chaos a little more. Standing in front of him, she clapped her hands together and began to pray in her own language. As she did, her body began to glow of light. Her entire body disappeared and soon, the light dissipated. It revealed her skin had turned completely emerald. Her mouth was gone and she had no clothing on. Luckily, her body was now made of a thick crystal, protecting her body. Her hair still flowed from her head, now trailing on the ground from not having a hair tie on anymore. Her eyes were now just simple stone, nearly the same color as the rest of her body, but much darker. In her hand, the X-blade appeared. As she stepped, small shards of the crystal could be seen left behind. That was indicative that this form was not something that would last for a long time. As she approached Chaos, he watched her and smirked. Immediately, he rushed towards her and began to attempt combos on her. As he did, she kept meeting his attacks with her own. Every now and again, she got a chance to deal some damage to him. Cries of anguish erupted from Chaos as pillars of fire shot up from the ground and surrounded them. The heat was intense, but Ananta was able to tough it out. More and more, she fought him. As she did, the crystal began to break away and her skin was being exposed more each time. Luckily, the fire pillars were still up so she was at least shielding the younger ones from her nudity. Once only a small part of the crystal was left, Chaos was able to cause Ananta to miss with the X-blade and he swung his fist straight at her last bit of crystal on her chest. Gasping, Ananta quickly summoned her keyblade armor and took the brunt of the punch. She was shot out of the fire pillars and sent flying. She landed hard next to Gexln and coughed, the wind knocked out of her. Standing up, Ananta coughed and wheezed. The X-blade's power was what caused her to not die. Looking at Gexln, she put the X-blade next to him in case he was going to use it. Limping towards Juliet, Ananta was going to take Anta back.
Ananta watched the hologram in disbelief. She hadn't really expected any other worlds to be able to have such magic or technology. But look at that, Yen Sid certainly had it. As the hologram finished it's explanation, Ananta only thought of how Kross and Base would react. As the hologram began to glitch out, Ananta heard Kross call out. "Master, wait!" he said, running past her and reaching for the hologram. Just as he was there, the hologram finished and was out of existence. Ananta began to stop over to him when she saw Glen speak to him. Glen was right, they shouldn't get this sad about things, but that still doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. Just as she thought that, she saw Kross fall to his knees with a horrible depressed look on his face. Standing in front of him, Ananta sat on her knees and stared at the ground. She already was nearly punched for trying to console Karina. Would she be able to console Kross and not risk getting hurt for it? Doubt began to sit in her mind as she sat there in silence in front of Kross. All she could do was try and be there for him and try not to get on his bad side. He was her first true friend, after all, and she didn't want to lose him as a friend. Grabbing his hands, she held them and tried to shake him to get his attention. "Kross, look at me." she asked. "You can't just sit around and cry about this. We need to go find who did this and stop them. If we just sit around, we're not going to get anywhere. I know you're stronger than this, so please stand up." she said, watching him. Carefully, she wrapped her arms under his and hugged him. "I'm here for you, okay? If you want to cry, now would be the best time. Then, we gotta go through that mirror...and I'll follow you, don't worry." she said, hugging him tightly.
D'daear was being really weird now. Not only did he have a mini heart attack in front of Ananta, but he also tried to defend him stealing something as taking advantage of Yen Sid. Ananta got angry and glared at him as he tried to play it off and slide over to a wardrobe. She crossed her arms and watched him fake amazement at what he found. Her eyes rolled as she started to watch him try on different outfits. They all looked like some crazy outfit a main character in a TV show or video game would wear. Although, some people in their group also looked similar to that, but that's not the point. Turning her head, Ananta could faintly hear Kel speaking about something. Turning towards it, Ananta almost left the room. She only stopped herself because she knew she couldn't just leave D'daear here. Who knew what he could or would do to those clothes. Walking over to him, Ananta took the clothes he borrowed off and grabbed his arm, pulling towards the main room. As they walked, she scolded D'daear. "Honestly, you're acting like you're a kid. Rummaging through someone's clothing and whatnot. And on top of that, you almost stole something! I hope you put it back." she said, not looking to see if he did. She was just going to trust him on that part. As they walked into the room, she looked at Kel and saw the orb in his hand was glowing and that a hologram of Yen Sid was in the room with them. "Master Yen Sid..." she said, blinking her eyes.
Watching D'daear, Ananta couldn't help but think about how peculiar this boy was. The way he acted was curious and the way he responded to her all seemed very awkward. As if he hadn't really talked to people before or something. Scratching her head, she wondered why he thought the stain wasn't gone from his clothing. She had cleaned it fast enough, a stain shouldn't have formed. D'daear went into the room and Ananta couldn't help but sigh. He had moved the desk, but hadn't really moved it enough to where it wasn't in the way. So, instead of just letting it sit there, Ananta began to move the stone desk back in front of Yen Sid. At least, that's where she thought it belonged. What with his throne in the room and books everywhere, it just seemed like it was the best place for it to go. First things first, Ananta slid the desk on it's side to sit in front of Yen Sid. She was extra careful to not hit Yen Sid as she slid past him. Once it was in position, Ananta stopped to rest a moment. The room was looking better, but things still needed to be cleaned. All the ink was nearly cleaned up and the books were almost all back in their places. Karina still looked very angry and Ananta didn't know what to do about that. Maybe she should just ignore her from now on. Maybe then Karina wouldn't get so angry all the time. Maybe Karina would be able to have a better time here if Ananta left her alone. Sighing, Ananta decided to just get back to work and go join D'daear in the room. Taking a good grip on the desk, Ananta pulled as hard as she could until the desk finally was sitting upright. Looking down at the desk, Ananta wiped her hands over it to make sure there was nothing on it. Soon enough, she turned around and saw the biggest book in the room was still not on a shelf. Of course, it didn't even look like there was a shelf that could be tall enough for this book to sit on anyway. Picking up the book, Ananta sat it down in front of Yen Sid. A candle and a plate sat next to where she put the table, so Ananta picked it up and sat it there. There was a strange dust on the plate that Ananta couldn't tell what it was. Shrugging, she was finally done moving the desk. Now, she needed to go into that room with D'daear and see what he was up to. Stepping towards the door, Ananta pushed it open all the way and continued down the short hallway towards the opposite door. Now that she was finally in the room, she was able to get a good look of the room (read hexin's description of the room). Ananta looked over to see D'daear had some kind of patch thing on his arm now. She walked to him and looked at it, tilting her head. "What's that?" she asked, pointing at it.
I'd like to spend some stuff for Ananta. First off, she has 2 points to spend. I'd like to spend them both on HEART to increase her MAGIC. Next, Crowns. She has 31 Crowns. She'll spend 24 Crowns to increase her MAGIC. Thus, she's left with 7 crowns. Stats increased: Magic => 7 New Magic stat total: 25 (+5)
Ananta had finished cleaning up the ink in a third of the room. She was now casually pouring the inky water down and out the star shaped window. Looking below, it seemed to just disappear into the depths below. Turning back, she looked over to see D'daear wiggling to try and clean ink off his back. Rolling her eyes, Ananta made clean water and took a wash rag in her hand. She moved to each person in the room and cleaned any ink off of them. It wasn't as bad as she thought. She even got the ink off her new jacket. Soon after, she turned to clean off Yen Sid. She didn't want him to wake back up some day and be covered in ink. Wiping the ink off, Ananta heard Merlin and Hikaru speaking. Seemed the mirror was busted or something and people were getting spat out. After she made sure Yen Sid and his throne were devoid of any ink, Ananta threw the rag down to stretch. As she stretched, she saw D'daear move the table from the door. Walking over to him, Ananta tapped D'daear's back. "What're you doing?" she asked him, looking at the door.
Sitting there, Ananta watched and listened to Beuce as he spoke to Karina. Then, Karina herself talked. After that, it seemed like she blocked everything Ananta had said and instead decided to try and punch her. Reacting quickly, thanks to a slightly higher speed stat, Ananta was able to cast Aero in time to stop Karina's fist just short of her face. Her fist caused the gust of air to blow around everyone, causing ink to splat everywhere and on everything now. Luckily, it was mostly on the people and walls, not the books and other objects in the room. Blinking and sighing, Ananta stood up and looked around at the room. Scratching her chin, she began to think of a way to clean up the ink. Looking over, Ananta saw a bucket against a wall. Reaching the bucket, she knelt down and conjured up a few Blizzard spells in the bucket. Then, a well place fire spell melted the ice and left water. Looking around some more, she found a mop not too far away and so she grabbed it. Plopping it into the water, she silently began to clean up the ink.
Gritting her teeth as she listened to Glen speak, Ananta had a feeling she wanted to punch him. And maybe hurt him or not even be nice to him. But those thoughts were dark and wouldn't help anyone. So Ananta shook her head and calmed herself down. Looking up, she watched and listened to Kross' speech. The fact he was able to find such comfort in calling Yen Sid his father was nice. Ananta wished everybody would just stop yelling and being rude to each other over petty things. Things didn't seem that way, as Glen continued on and caused Karina to have a breakdown in front of everyone. Glen didn't even try to stop and see what he was doing. He continued on his merry way and disappeared in the mirror. Base followed after and so did Kross, leaving Ananta behind. Karina was still on the floor, crying, and Kel was trying his best to give her some comfort. Stratos was here as well, only for a moment before he too disappeared in the mirror. Clutching the Hi-Potion in her hand, Ananta moved herself closer to Karina and sat there. As she did, she saw the glare that Karina shot at her. Ananta didn't blame Karina not wanting to hear from Ananta at this time. Especially since the past conversations they had. Karina was obviously not wanting to be doted on. Ananta couldn't help it, however, and she sat there and stared at Karina for a good bit. D'daear spoke up, asking who Master No Heart is. Truth be told, Ananta had no idea who it was and she surely was not in any mood to try and think about it. Turning to D'daear, Ananta shook her head and turned right back to Karina. "Give me glares all you want, Karina, that won't stop me from trying to understand you. With that outburst from Glen, he hit a sore spot. Hearing you say those things...kind of reminds me of my own childhood. No, my father didn't want me dead. He loved me dearly...something that you never got to know. I'd trade my father for yours, if that meant you didn't have such a harsh life." Ananta said, not sure if what she was saying was making any sense. "But, as I said, you sound a lot like me when I was younger. I hated everyone and thought that hating them was easier than trying to ignore the ones that caused pain. But, I always had solace in somebody. Somebody I trusted quite a bit. The sad thing is...I don't remember them now...I don't even know if they really existed..." she sighed. "But, even if they might not have existed, I still found comfort in knowing they made me feel better. Karina...tell me...do you have somebody that makes you feel comfort? If you don't, why don't you let us be that comfort? We may all be different, but we all share a common bond. We all have keyblades and we are the only ones that can defeat the darkness in the worlds. It's our duty to make sure nothing happens to those who walk the path of light. We do it as best as we can...sometimes we aren't able to save them all, but it's better that we try than sit here and argue with each other." Ananta finished. She reached forward and placed the Hi=Potion in Karina's hand. "Use this. Maybe it'll help you in the future. Just, try not to push everyone away. Take Kel's offer. You don't have to return home. You can stay away from there and go live with somebody else, or wander the worlds. Do whatever you want. You aren't obligated to do what you think is detrimental to you." she finally stopped talking. Ananta was prepared for Karina's backlash.
Ananta followed Kross inside, prepared to meet this Master Yen Sid and hear his stories. Maybe even learn something about herself or the keyblade. Walking inside, Ananta covered her nose. The room stank of ink and dust that had been kicked up from old books being scattered. Watching Kross, Ananta's eyes were fixated on the stone man sitting on the throne with a grin upon his face. Kross seemed to be in pain. 'This must be Master Yen Sid...' Ananta thought, standing there in disbelief. The way Kross spoke about Master Yen Sid, he made it seem like he was very wise and nearly invincible. Looking at Kross, Ananta saw hurt in his eyes and anger that was being suppressed. When Kross demanded questions from Hikaru, Ananta frowned. She was ready to speak when she heard Glen speak before her. Kel soon followed after. Her eyes glanced over Master Yen Sid once more and then finally stopped upon Kross' eyes. They had a rage to them that she hadn't noticed before. It frightened Ananta a little, knowing a sweet person like Kross was able to become so distraught. Then again, this Yen Sid must have been someone very dear to Kross, so it was within reason to be angry, sad, and unsure of others. Walking forward, Ananta didn't notice the floor was covered in the ink she previously had smelled. Ananta sort of ran towards Kross, trying to get to his side and calm him down. She knew she acted very much like a mother, but she didn't like seeing people in so much pain. It really sucked, to say the least. As she neared the group, Ananta slipped and fell on her back. She sat up and felt the ink clinging to her newly found jacket. Giving a face of disgust, she shrugged the jacket off and let it lay on the floor. Kneeling beside Kross, Ananta put a hand on his and looked at him. "They're right Kross. You know just as well as all of us that Hikaru was there in Central Haven fighting just as hard as the rest of us. There's no way he could have anything to do with this. And asking him why this all happened is pointless, for the same reason, so all we can do is follow through that mirror over there and try to not get too worked up for the time being." she said, smiling softly at him. "Please calm down, we don't need anybody getting angry with anyone and causing unneeded conflict." she said. Unknowingly, Ananta had positioned her arm just enough for everyone to see the large scar on her arm. It looked quite bad, being that it was very red right now. The ink that was on her arm wasn't helping and was instead causing a sting to pulse through her arm. She swallowed the pain however, knowing her injury wasn't as bad as the others.
