Watching the other two fly off, Ananta sighed and looked at the holograms in front of her. Not wanting to go to the same world as Karina, she decided on heading to this 'Camelot' she saw Beuce get so happy about. Standing up, she headed outside and watched as others began to rocket off. Tossing her keyblade up, she jumped into the ball of light and appeared on her keyglider. Luckily, it wasn't as hideous as the others. It just changed colors instead of turning into some type of llama monstrosity. Chuckling to herself, she locked in the coordinates for Camelot and zipped off. As she floated through the lanes between, she gripped the glider and thought about who else would be there. Hopefully, she would get a chance at closing this worlds keyhole. She didn't want to think about what would happen if she lost yet another chance at closing the keyhole. Seeing the end of the lane, she readied herself to enter her next world. Popping out, she looked down in time to see a strange boy crash into a sword in a stone. The sword didn't budge at all, even from the force of the boy crashing into it. Wincing as he hit it, she glided down gracefully. Releasing her glider, she floated down to the others. Her keyblade armor dissipated off of her, starting from her feet, to reveal her regular clothes underneath as she landed. Shaking her head afterwards, Ananta leaned on one foot and placed a hand on her hip. Listening to the boys, she grew curious about this sword. "So it's a stuck sword, eh?" she chuckled. Stepping towards the sword, she began to examine it thoroughly. Crackling her knuckles, she gripped the sword tightly and attempted to pull it out of the rock. Gritting her teeth, she tried so hard. In the end, she stood back, sweating. In the process, she had bitten her lip, thus causing a bit of blood to drip out of her lip. Nothing too serious. Wiping it away, she knelt and prayed to her crystal. It shone brightly, enveloping Ananta in a light. Standing up, she walked towards the sword with immense muscles and a stern look across her face. Grasping the hilt, she pulled with great strength. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" she screamed. Gravel around her began to float like in an anime when a hero is building up power. Unfortunately, this isn't an anime. Thus Ananta only managed to waste her temporary strength. Falling to her knees, she gasped for air. "I can't do it." she admitted.
Ananta was just about to help this girl when she saw a dark hand pull her from the ground. Hopping backwards, she realized that she almost helped an enemy. The darkness receeded from her as she appeared next to another boy. His eyes seemed different now as well...but he was evil alright. Shaking, she gripped her keyblade and bit her lip. 'What the heck, why did I almost help her...? I mean, she didn't seem...evil....but then again...' she muddled over the details. Looking at the girl, she shook her head. "And to think I almost helped scum like you..." she cursed under her breath. Not taking any chances, Ananta jumped at Xepphiras. She had her keyblade pointed straight at her. Whatever happened next, Ananta was ready for it, to say the least.
So Ananta is going to head off to Camelot. Also, she's equipping Fire, Thunder, and Blizzard. If my understanding of the SC system is right, at least...
Ananta sighed. "I thought I explained it well enough." she responded to Karina. Her hand gave Beuce a rather firm punch to his leg. She continued. "His army was without power. They were doomed as soon as he removed the ties from him and his army with the Mother Crystal. Of course, she also cut ties with the leader and thus he was doomed. You see, if my people do not receive power continually...well, at least to replace what we use, we cannot regain it. Naturally, our crystals will weaken to a state where they shatter, but that can take quite awhile. I cannot say how long it will take, but I can assure you that my people are forbidden from marrying those who are not crystalbound. That hasn't stopped anyone from doing so, however. They paid the price eventually, however. Again, I cannot say exactly how, but they pay the price in due time." Ananta had witnessed Karina's slip and chuckled partly through her explanation. "It's been about...900 years since the Mother Crystal was freed. My mother was the end of the 8th generation of those who are chosen to watch over the Mother Crystal. "Any more questions...? I can tell that you have some Karina, just by the look on your face. You have doubts or perhaps misconceptions? If anything, you could try and make your own simple version of what I just said. I don't mind, I like hearing people make the story out in words and concepts that they can understand and remember easily. It's fun." she smiled.
Ananta stopped smiling when Beuce intervened. His jokes were unneeded, she thought, and uncalled for. But she wasn't going to say it. "Beuce I don't think you understand me or my world at all. In fact, just stay quiet until I can finish my story." she sighed, sitting down and placing one leg on the other. Scratching her chin, she decided on where to start. "For one, my world isn't ran by one person. At least, not now. Ages ago, it was indeed ran by one man. He governed each nation with an iron fist. Which means, the world was terrible. Nobody wanted to stop him since he had the Mother Crystal on his side. Mother Crystal protected him not through her own means, but his own. He forced the Mother Crystal to pump power into the crystals of his army." Ananta sighed for a moment to rest her voice before she continued. "Of course, unbeknownst to him, each of the seven nations had begun to gather leaders of their own to fight him. One night, when he decided that the mother crystal needed a rest, he removed his army from her power. This caused her to finally be able to keep power to herself. It was in that moment that the seven leaders attacked. He tried to call upon power, but it wouldn't come seeing as he had returned the Mother Crystal with what she wanted. Her power. So after that, he was defeated and the seven leaders became the Seven Sages. And for awhile, they protected the world until they died and then somebody else took over afterwards. This continued until the day the world ended when I was sent off to this saving the world mission." she stretched in her seat. "And that's that. Any questions?"

Ananta finished tying her hair and sat there a moment before she dared to look over at Karina. Watching her untie her hair and try to brush the tangled strands, she chuckled and scooted to her knees. "Would you like me to help you?" she asked her. Not knowing what else to say, she then remembered something. "I could tell you a story while doing it, to keep your mind off of the nasty tangles and such." she smiled at Karina. The only problem, was what story would she tell? "How about a story of how my home world came to be?" she suggested. @~Phoenix~
Ananta held the rose as she walked up the staircase towards her own room. Once inside, she shut the door and locked it behind her. Sitting the two flowers she had in a vase together, she walked to the bathroom and poured water into the vase before setting the vase on the windowsill. Sniffing herself, she kicked off her boots and began to strip the old, matted with dirt clothes off of her until she was nude. Stepping into the bathroom, she drew herself a bath and sat in the scolding waters. Sinking into the waters, she washed herself off and enjoyed herself. There was even a rubber ducky floating around in the water. Once she felt sufficiently clean, Ananta stepped out of the bath and continued to wash her clothes in a fresh bath of water. Hanging them from a string she had found, she cast Aero to dry them out. A funny thing to do, but it was the fastest way to clean her clothes. Slipping back into everything, she tightened the ribbon on her back a little tighter than before. Mostly to hold the bandages she was wearing from the last world and also for the ones from her injury from Karina. Stepping out of the room, she grabbed one of the longer strands of her hair and began to braid it on itself. In her mouth, she held a nice ribbon made of silk. It was a pretty lavender with gold trim on the edges. The first braid was down as she was halfway down the stairs. Tying it off with the ribbon, she began the other and noticed Karina sitting against a wall with a flower and music blasting in her ears. Stepping over, Ananta slid down beside Karina and began fiddling with her hair and braiding the other longer strand together. @~Phoenix~
-weeps at the mystic hate- Lemme tell ya, I'm a council lady on this rp and I'm gonna make changes around here I swear if you guys do that again! /totally sarcastic/
Smiling, she grabbed Karina's hand and led her down the hall. She was retracing her steps to get here. It was simple enough, but this place was a huge maze if you didn't try and remember which way to go. Ananta didn't truly know exactly where to go either, but she knew how to memorize her steps. She looked at the stairs in front of her. They lead to the living quarters. From here, it was familiar enough to get out. "I hope you know where to go from here, right? Upstairs are the bedrooms, the left hall is the kitchen and large dining room, and the right is where the throne room is. I think?" she spoke, questioning herself. She had let go of Karina's hand finally. "I'm going to go upstairs and clean myself up. I feel gross right now." she frowned at herself. Her clothes were rather dirty. Mostly from the last world she was in. Walking up the stairs, she turned and waved and Karina. "Good luck with making friends." she called to her.
Ananta nodded at Karina. Whatever happened to her, it sounded rough. It also sounded like something Karina needed to come to her own terms with in her own time. "From the sound of it, you sound a little afraid to make friends...like you think if you made a friend, they wouldn't like you or your father wouldn't like them or something. I don't understand it all, but I do understand that you gotta do this on your own and no amount of me trying to say something will help." Ananta laced an arm over Karina's shoulder, giving a small hug. "But I can tell you one thing. I don't want to be enemies with you. I wanna be friends, actually. And Eon does too, I can tell. We're a small group of people in this universe that's been tasked with taking care of most of the worlds. We gotta stick together, you know?" she smiled at Karina. It was true, everything she said. She really didn't want to be enemies with Karina, that wouldn't help anything at all. It most certainly wouldn't make their mission any better either. Even if Karina wasn't ready yet, Ananta would wait.
Ananta stood up too. Karina had some odd views. Well, her father did at least. "But Karina, what do you think about crying? I don't care what your father thinks, he's not here right now. All that matters is what you think and feel about everything." she said, trying to be a bit supportive. She dusted herself off and looked at the hall Karina was looking at. "I know how you feel sometimes. I too had a parent that told me what to do all the time. In the end, she became the greatest help to me as I set off for this big journey. But you see, I always knew that sometimes, what she said, didn't really fit with the situation. Being all cold and uncaring, it just...didn't work when you wanted to make friends." she gave a tap to Karina's forehead. "You need to think less with this." and then she pointed to her heart. "And more with this." she finished, smiling. "And hey, you made a great start with Eon. He's sweet isn't he? I'm sure he'd make you a best friend someday if you really wanted to do so!" she finished off her little speech at that. Whatever Karina made of it, she hoped that Karina would think of her less as an enemy and more as a friend. But seeing as Karina was kind of moody at the time, Ananta thinks that she should take it slow.
Sighing, Ananta looked over Karina. She was at least 17, she thought, and that means she was here for a reason that was probably really personal. Ananta shook her head and leaned forward to Karina. Wrapping her arms around her, she gave her a tight hug. "I'm sorry for fighting." she said meekly. After keeping such a hug for a minute or so, she pulled away and sat on her knees. "But you know, don't run away and cry. Girls have to be strong during all this. So if you cry, they'll laugh at you. Not all the time can you not cry, though. Sometimes, it's okay to cry...like right now." she spoke shakily, her words had a sadness to it. Ananta was sobbing now. She knew what she had done was horrible and probably would cause her to be kicked out if Krowley or Yen Sid learned of it.
Pat pat pat. That's all Ananta did to Karina right now. Then she stopped and stared at her. "How's your hand?" she asked, pointing to it. Hopefully it wasn't too injured. It was pretty deep and her teeth were pretty sharp. You could see even the smallest hint of blood was still on her lips. The taste lingered still and it was an awful taste. "Does it hurt?" she asked cautiously.
Ananta's ears and eyebrows pricked up at the sound of footsteps. Opening her eyes, she stood up and stretched. She had been sitting for a bit and gotten a sore bottom, but she was fine. After stretching, she turned towards where the footsteps had stopped. She walked quieter, moreso to hide her approach than to be sneaky. Then again, either way she was going to be sneaky. Once next to the girl, she knelt down and patted her head softly. "Hi..." she said softly, trying not to startle the girl.
Ananta stared at the orb hesitantly. It was odd. It was also one of those things she swore she saw Steel taking a taste of some time back. Maybe she was just seeing things then. But she had to say it. "Why don't you eat it?" she asked. Of course, she didn't really mean it, seeing as she took the orb from his hand anyway. Grasping it, she placed the crystal next to it. A faint glow came forth from the crystal as the orb was swallowed by the crystal. The darkness was swirling in circles before a dark orb popped back out in place of the one she just had. Holding it carefully, Ananta felt a little happier now and less depressed. However, she couldn't hold onto this orb. It had a bad feeling to it. "You should take this one....I can't hold it any longer." she said, standing up and pressing it firmly into his hand. Turning, she walked out this door and began to run down the stairs towards where she felt that Karina may be located. The girl was rather predictable. Being the girl, she is, she would want to hide far from everyone else. A place that was secluded. Stopping inside of a large room, she sat on the ground and began to meditate. 'Maybe if I stop and meditate, I can try and feel her presence...maybe.' she thought to herself, sitting there,
Gritting her teeth at the nonsense spewed from Caleb's mouth, as well as Enox's, she stood there. "I have more important matters to deal with. Caleb can unbind you, I just hope he doesn't do anything too crazy." she spoke, turning towards the person half stuck in the ground. Running towards the girl and stopping. Taking a look at the current situation, Ananta had to ask. "So, how did this happen to you anyway?" she knelt down and prodded the girls head. This was funny, but also a little serious. If she was stuck, her legs may have been crushed once whatever was holding her in place disappeared and allowed the natural ground to return. Or maybe it just formed around her legs very tightly. Who's to say? The only thing that made any sense was trying to get her out, but she just needed to ask a few questions before doing so. Anta watched as Dawn leaped off the bike. Shaking his head, he turned back around towards the two. Stopping next to them, he patted the seat. "This bike is plenty big for shorties like you guys, you know. I'm not even that big, but that's not the point. We gotta follow that guy and stop him. He speaks in rhymes and I don't have the time for that. We gotta pull a trick out of our hat and stop him in his tracks with many attacks." Now Anta was talking in rhymes. Slapping himself, he said. "Ow."
Skidding to a halt in the midst of running towards Beuce and Louvel, Ananta looked to see Dusk grabbed by a mad man. Not knowing what to do, she walked over slowly. However, a spark shocked through her as she turned around quickly to see Caleb was removing Enox's chains. Fire burned in her eyes as she began to run towards Caleb and Enox again. Passing by Anta and Dawn, she spoke to them. "Go towards Dusk. Now. I'll take care of the idiot and Enox." she spat venomously towards the nobody and idiot. Anta nodded, now noticing the conflict in the other direction. Readjusting the bikeglider, he whispered to Dawn "Hold tight, this is gonna be fast." Zooming towards the evil creature gripping onto Dusk. Getting closer, he reached a hand down, ready to grab Dusk out of the clutches of the creature. "I'm gonna grab Dusk as soon as we get close enough, okay?" he spoke to Dawn. Screeching to a stop, Ananta stood angrily over the two. Her keyblade focused on Enox as the chains began to appear again, reforming and attempting to tie the nobody down. Her eyes focused on Caleb. "I told you not to untie this. I understand he saved you, but that DOESN'T MEAN HE DESERVES YOUR PITY." she screamed at him, her teeth pointed and bared towards Caleb. Her pupils became smaller the angrier she became.
Man, I haven't posted in a year!
"Hold on tight!" Anta spoke, revving the bikeglider, and zooming out of the small cave they were in to ascend the wall of the cliff. Anta was riding the glider fine but he imagined that Dawn wasn't so used to it. She may even just have fallen back into him. Looking forward, the frail light was beaming down from the exit. Flying out the exit, Anta landed the glider near Caleb and witnessed him cutting the chains. "Whatever you're doing, it won't end very well, dude. That guy is bad!" he yelled out to Caleb.
