30th Rainfall - Action/Video

[asapphireheart]

[Aqua walks tired out of the catacombs, watch loosely held and recording the ground but her boots should be recognizable. She sighs softly and walks to the street, sitting beneath a lamp and watching the stars. She wraps her arms around herself against the chilly evening air and then glances at the watch.]

I'm... back, I guess. I don't remember

Comments

[asapphireheart]

Yeah, she arrived a couple weeks ago.

[She noticing that so Aqua just smiles.]

I met Riku and Kairi when they were children. And Kairi was supposed to be my apprentice, she inherited my Keyblade.

I should try using an appropriate icon

[asapphireheart]

[There's a smile on Aqua's face and her voice is very gentle. She doesn't mind explaining, or trying to, as long as this isn't Master Eraqus. Then she'd flail about.]

You're right, it's not something we're supposed to talk about. But that rule has been broken plenty of times though, since I first came here. It's especially hard to hide from people with all the things we get put through here.

[Seriously hard. That Heartless invasion was NOT pleasant. Keybearers were really put to work then.]

[asapphireheart]

You're right, you could be. Then again, you might not be. Imagine if the city were filled with Heartless or Unversed though, I wouldn't be able to hide my Keyblade if I had to fight.

I was taught not to tell people but I learned how hard it is to hide it. Even more so when people need help regularly.

[A nods from Aqua. She doesn't know the half of it, on how important the Keyblade it.]

It is important. Very important.

[asapphireheart]

[Except that Aqua met Xion last time she was in the city. But she remembered Xion being.... uneasy around her so she's taking it slow.]

Not now it can't be, no.

[And they still have PLENTY to learn.]

Extremely. I was taken in my by master when I was six to train with it, for my lifelong duty and was with him for thirteen years.

[asapphireheart]

[Slow in that... Aqua's not going "Hi Xion, how are you? Wanna train with the Keyblade? 8D"]

Not always, some people ask questions though or they already know it because somebody has abused the use of their Keyblade.

[Gdit Xehanort.

Aqua feels her heart ache a bit as Xion asks that. Light, she would have given anything to have been able to be there for all of them. She would have traded her own Light to ensure that a Master would have trained them.]

My Master is dead. Yen Sid retired. And I've been trapped, away from the Realm of Light, for a long time.

[And she takes a breath, steadying herself and trying to regain the strength that she lost in thinking about Eraqus.]

I'm trying to make up for it now though. I know it may not help in our World but it's the best I can do right now.

[asapphireheart]

[Aqua would be happy to train with her.]

You'd be surprised. There was a master that gave himself to the Darkness. He tried to recreate an ancient war.

[And tried to steal stole my best friends body.]

It's... It's all right. At least his teachings will go on.

This city isn't bad all the time. And then sometimes, we need to know how to use all the skills available to us. If I disappear, at least I can teach Riku and everyone what I know so they can use those skills here.

[asapphireheart]

[The Master is always available.]

Because it would create more Keybearers, I suppose. I'm not sure, knowledge of the war was forbidden and faded from modern teachings.

[If only Aqua knew too. She didn't have the chance to meet Xemnas when he was in the city.]

He is always with me, that's why it's okay.

[She keeps his keyblade very close. And Aqua smiles a bit.]

I don't plan on disappearing but just in case. It's always good to plan for everything you can.

[asapphireheart]

[Aqua can be patient.]

He was... crazy.

[But Aqua can't help but giggle at Xion description of MX. She'd pay good munny to see someone tell him that.]

I have his Keyblade.

[She misses her Keyblade but it was a worthy sacrifice.]
