think Etrius might definitely call dibs on the Beast's Castle
Etrius saw Luna walk away by herself. She had done this to him previously, but Etrius didn't know why. He needed to know. "Luna," Etrius began continuing to follow her, "Whatever is wrong, you need to tell us. Everyone here, we've all experienced the same things! Whether it being our parents being slain, our world swallowed up, or hopeless separation, we're all working for the same goal! And if you can't tell anyone else, you can trust me." Etrius caught up finally, and stopped in front of Luna a few feet away before going on. "No one can do anything alone. Not really anyway. So please, whatever it is, tell me what's wrong. As your friend, I want to know."
Here is my take of role on these writing raps, Whether or not you choose to accept my opinions/facts. Odamadillo is right yet cold, Nasirrich is fierce and bold, Marushi, to me, has a role I can't express, And my own role, has an Omega with an "X", Sure we mess up, every now and then, Thankfully, this thread is a popular writing den. To Odamadillo, My previous rhyme was to hush the haters, To Nasirrich, you messed up the rhyme combo, Try again later! This is my way of how everyone else might think.
Etrius shook his head when Kross said he was hungry. He was about was to tell him that they needed to keep going when Luna passed by. Etrius had meant to catch up with her a long time ago. Ironically, the disturbance Etrius had felt came from Luna's room. Etrius pondered that fact for a second, then threw it away. It can wait. He had came from a mission, sparred and nearly killed Kross, and flew off the handle at Karina. "Go and eat Kross." Etrius said, "Don't let me starve you with my dark energy and my temper." With that, Etrius followed Luna out the door. He called out, "Hey Luna! Wait up a sec!"

Andromeda's eyes snapped open and back flipped off the couch, hitting her back to the wall in surprise. She let out a short growl of pain and eyed the imp cautiously. Though she wasn't exactly fond of beings who can shapeshift to animals, or anything for that matter, she was definitely not fond of imps. In fact, she despised them because of there uncanny ability to pop around like mice. Andromeda figured she must of intruded on this imp's territory. But there was something else about the imp that she couldn't put her finger on. She decided to play the dead hand. "I don't care if me coming here isn't natural," She grunted, "I needed a place to stay. Besides, I don't need anyone to show me around. Every place is the same, and faces disappear easy. Just leave me alone." She went to the kitchen and looked behind an old greyed-out fridge. Sure enough, there was an aged broom and dustpan leaning on the wall behind the fridge. Andromeda took it out, and she began to sweep the kitchen as best she could. Though she looked as though from there on out that she would ignore the imp, she was paying attention to any of the slightest info she could use against him.
"..Etrius, that wasn't necessary." Kross said. Etrius considered replying something, but nothing came, so he decided not to talk. he began to walk to the next room. "I see you ditched the girl for a little boy." Etrius groaned. He turned to see Kel walking up to him and Kross. Etrius had already been more-than-exasperated with Karina, the last thing he needed was more stress to build up. He instead chose to question Kel's motive rather than telling him to back off. "What exactly is that supposed to mean?" Etrius asked, his voice tart.
Andromeda walked through the city, covered in a shroud. There were too many humans around, and she would immediately attract attention if anyone saw the purple scales on her arms. She shivered, but not of the cold. Out of fear of being hunted. She did not know by who, but by werewolves. She ground her teeth silently out of anger. To think petty werewolves could drive her out of hiding. Her! A 15m dragon that could beat any peregrine falcon in a dive! And now, she felt especially vulnerable in the city, not knowing friend nor foe. She couldn't even fly out! The nerve. Luckily, she had took off prepared. She had brought money, but no food. Though she was half human, it didn't hurt to take a chomp on some livestock. Sure, there may have been reports of a huge bird/plane flying over nearby rural areas, but nothing too major. Right? She sighed in frustration, and took a deep breath, and continued to walk the streets, looking for any place to hide out in. That's when she saw it. An abandoned apartment. The door and windows were boarded up. Perfect. Andromeda looked around. There were significantly less people in the area, and the streets looked a little dirty. She went up to the boarded up door. Taking another quick check around to see if anyone was watching, using her raptor-like vision to pick out those from far away. No one turned a head from a 5-mile radius. She turned back to the door, and grabbed one of the wooden boards. She heaved, and tore the nails off the hinges. She wasn't buff, but being a dragon does make you stronger than the average human. She finished off with the rest and gathered the unhinged boards under her arm. She checked the doorknob. Locked. In a flurry of movement, she threw a lot of power in her left leg, concentrating it on the lock. The force was enough to break the lock completely, rendering it useless. Sure, that may lead to intruders, but Andromeda knew that if push came to shove, she would get out of there in her dragon form. She walked up the steps, and broke the lock (She's got a hammer of a left leg) on the door of one of the many apartments. As she opened the door, she heard the squeak of mice as she walked in. The apartment was barren, dusty, and slightly dirty. Andromeda sneezed. Make the "dusty" comment into "very dusty". She closed the door and took off her coat, putting it in a nearby coat rack and walked into the kitchen. Also dusty. If she decides to stay for a little longer, she might tidy up the place a little. Maybe, being that she might be able to catch some of the mice later on. She hit the dusted sofa, bringing off more dust, and settled down a little. She will rest for now.
You would talk about listening, my burning friend, That's why advice never seems to end! Listening to bickering, Listening to lies, I might as well be snickering, after murdering a few guys! The angry man shuts his eyes, and opens his mouth, He doesn't even consider those, who call him a lout. Quoth the bible; "Our tongue is a fiery sword.." Even that is advice is enough to afford! Thus overall sense, bad people shut up, your words aren't needed, you're just making it rough. If wish to stop this mess, heed this advice; Listen more and talk less! Calamity issues, form the miserable raps, Might as well resort, to selfies on Instagram, and iPod Apps. Point taken, try to be positive, All through life, to avoid calamity, and avoid strife. In this poem, I don't need to confess! Focus on life, love, and the pursuit of happiness!
Etrius was shocked at Karina's snapping, considering she was talking to Eon so politely. Now, considering Etrius' current stress of finding the disturbance, and realizing that his powers have started to short out, and considering Kross's reaction toward when Etrius had first asked about Karina. Plus, it didn't seem like this girl was polite, yet she was polite to Eon?? Of all people..... Whatever had Etrius thought completely reeled and blanked. His pupils suddenly vanished and his eyes boiled red. He suddenly pushed open the door wide above Karina's grasp. But he didn't attack her, he only glared. He then spoke, but he sounded different. "First off, I never did anything to you, so you have no reason to be pissy." Etrius said. He didn't raise his voice, but his voice sounded too smooth, loathing even. "Second off, I am not your enemy nor your friend. I'm here to help save the worlds from being swallowed up, so we need to work together on this. Third off, even though you nor Eon felt any disturbance, I DID, and it was coming from here. It doesn't feel like a Heartless, but it isn't good either. Even if you hadn't felt it, at least cooperate." He then turned, left the room, and slammed the door, giving Karina nor Eon a chance to speak. As he looked back at Kross, Etrius' eyes were normal again. He took a deep breath, and said, "Lets keep looking."
"Sure." Etrius was delighted at Kross' willingness to help out, but was partially disappointed. Halfy, he wanted to investigate himself, as considering that Kross hadn't felt anything, therefor Etrius didn't know whether it was just his own feelings or there really was a disturbance. He turned towards the Guild Hall, and said, "From what I can tell, the disturbance came from there. It was a bit unstable, so it's hard to place where in the Guild Hall it came from. Overall, it was somewhat inferior to a Heartless' aura. It definitely felt evil though." Etrius then set off through the Guild Hall, looking around. He passed by a few rooms and heard chatter from the next room. It was Eon and the girl that had been sparring with Kross. He knocked quietly on the door and asked, "Pardon me. Have any of you felt an unstable aura around in here?"

Etrius was a little surprised at Kross's reaction, but he halfy expected this reaction. In truth, it would be too much responsibility. "Ah, it's aight." Etrius said good-natured,"After all, I might prove to be too much of a handful..." Etrius suddenly froze as he felt a disturbance. It didn't feel like Heartless, but it felt malicious. Etrius let his hackles fall, but the serious look on his face had returned. "Pardon me, but unless you felt a disturbance around here?" Etrius asked quietly to Kross
"I would have considered Steel, as he uses darkness as well, but he was a little occupied by introducing newcomers." Etrius said shaking his head. "And besides, I didn't even know that I was having control over it until after coming from the Kingdom of The Sun. I decided to take the opportunity when you arrived. Maybe you could tutor me? I know you and I are pretty undeveloped, but maybe we can learn some stuff."
Etrius listened, completely silent. "Ah yes! Pepper Island! I've heard that, as the name implies, your world is really abundant in peppers. Love that stuff." Etrius decided he should explain about his world. "I am from Abraxas. Before I was born, my family fought in the First Keyblade War. Abraxas is a military world, so we mostly function by protecting those who need our aid of the dark." Etrius' brow furrowed in worry at the thought. "I don't know really what is happening, but according to the letter we all got, there was a boy in a black-and-red body suit attacking different worlds. I saw that boy. I know him. He was the one who visted our world with his master. he was also the one who slew my family." Etrius lowered his eyes. "I saw it with my own eyes. Maybe that's why I have this so-called 'Dangerous power'. "
Etrius chuckled a little at the medical point of view. "Meh" He shrugged, "It runs in the family. To be honest, you would be surprised that most people in my world are also Key Wielders." Etrius decided to socialize a little more. "Say Kross, what's your family and world like? I might decide to come with you when it's time to visit our own worlds."
Etrius applied some Potion on Kross's back, and the purple gash gradually turned pinkish. "Technically," Etrius said, "This sparring match was actually a test for both me and you. For you, it was to see whether your skills are sharp, considering you are a Mystic." He corked the bottle and continued. "And you're right, this power is dangerous. But you were able to help me gain some control over it. That was part of my test." Etrius stood, his eyes normal. "Try not to mess with that wound."
Etrius returned to normal immediately and breathed a sigh of exhaustion. Now that took a lot out of him. His Keyblade Armor retracted on its own, and as his helmet went off, Etrius' eyes were still as red as the streaks in his hair. He took out a green potion bottle from his cloak, popped the cork and waterfalled it. He then walked over to Kross. Even though he was still on his guard, he knew that Kross could die from the poison, and it would be Etrius' fault. Etrius offered a hand to the older boy, and said, "That's enough. You need a break."
Etrius took the lightning. He froze as pain followed by numbness flowed through his body. Part of his armor broke and dented and sparked after the spell went to it's cooldown. Etrius had anticipated this the entire time. Not only did the Time Field not slow Kross down one bit, but Kross also had time to cast a Thunder Spell. Shocking. Etrius' armor stopped sparking, but it tinted a darker purple shade. So did Etrius' skin. His eyes went red as he looked silently at Kross. A black smoke rose from his shoulders. So this was what was happening to him. This power felt alluring, yet it gave Etrius the impression that a lead ball had fallen in his stomach. Yes, the corruption that resided within Etrius' darkness, was hatred. And a lot of it. Strangely, Etrius felt more in control, not filled with the desire to kill. Probably because he was sparing an ally. Time to execute phase 4. Without warning, Etrius suddenly took off, full speed around the Time Field, messing with Kross's field of vision. When he felt sure that Kross was disoriented enough, Etrius went behind him, leaped, and spun. His Keyblade tinted purple and he felt more pain as he preformed a Poison Edge. Etrius used Posion Edge! Speed: 45/45% -MAX!- Damage Taken: 31/??? Lethality: 29/35%
Etrius dove straight through Kross's Freeze spell, shattering the ice. He felt pain, but it wasn't enough for him to stop. his blade instantly collided into Kross as Etrius slid past and stood a few feet away, clutching his right shoulder. Kross had exceeded Etrius' expectations so far, but would he be able to keep up? Etrius raised his Keyblade to cast a Stop Spell. At once, his Bond of Flame Keyblade tinted, and Etrius felt the same searing pain from before, causing his voice to strained in pain. "Tempus!" Etrius said, conjuring a Time Field. The next phase was to see if Kross was able to attack even if slowed down. Etrius used Stop! Speed:10/45% Damage Taken: 24/??? Lethality:16/35%
