Through the Hole (Open)

[Fahe Reingard]

Walking through the hole in a wall at the side of the market, Fahe could see a small forest of trees. Looking upwards it seems like the leaves and branches were blocking out the sun, covering the forest with shadows. Towards the end of the forest was an opening that when Fahe walked towards it revealed a mansion with a large broken gate at the front. Coming towards the center of the forest Fahe saw a slight glint in the dirt. Kneeling down and digging through the dirt, the light got brighter and brighter, until he finally pulled out a blinding star shaped stone.

Putting the star in his pocket Fahe looked around again, hearing something shifting. Seeing nothing he looked upwards he noticed it was just the leaves blowing in the wind. 'Well at least it's not a Heartless,' he thought to himself while walking towards the mansion to see what's in it. That was until darkness seemed to corelate at the path to the broken gate with small beings comprised of the darkness came up from the darkness. 'Guess I can't have peace for long,' he thought while he got ready to fight.

With a flick of his wings five feathers came flying from his wings flinging towards the Heartless. With three passing through one of the Heartless turning it to dust, the other remainging two flying towards a shadow on the left of the path. A large group of the Heartless started grouping up towards the center. Taking a jumping dive forward and putting his wings out and gliding forward he flew threw the group and looking back he could see that several Heartless were sent flying. Towards the center most heartless had been obliterated with some being flattened on the ground.

Noko was walking through the tall forests of shadows in a seemingly lost veil of darkness. He wasn't afraid of the Heartless, seeing how it was quite clear something had caused them to be aggravated. He knew if any would try and harm him, he'd simply have to defeat them, as they are a threat to the locals. He seemed a bit out of context as it seems for hours he'd first step into this maze of pines and hollow oak. Surly and soon lost, he knew what he would have to do in order to get his bearings. To get better insight, he asked some of the non-hostile local Heartless about any clues as to why some have chosen to be hostile in the first place and any landmarks or locations to anything remotely man made. He simply continues upon the narrow pathway that was slightly visible due to the darkness.

It would seem there was no end to this.. Until...

He sees a brightly lit feather floating in mid air, as he tilts his head at it.

"A..Feather..?" "I've never seen such with..Light magic..? Perhaps this will lead to a possible person..?"

He blinks a bit, knowing touching such an item would hurt him due to Light Magic, he simply sees more and more of them, as if some kinda trail, as he chooses to follow the white brick road to find whomever was the person, as the darkness swallows the trail behind him. There was no going back now.









 

[Fahe Reingard]

Finally getting into the courtyard of the mansion he got a nice look at the crumbling pillars, nothing really unnatural about them, they were just pillars. As he walked towards the mansions doors the air seemed to turn still, not moving. Whipping around he didn't notice anyone following him, but he felt like he was being watched.

Walking through the doors of the mansion led to a dimly lit foyer, one which seemed to be abandoned for years. Waltzing around the room, Fahe found himself on the stairwell, with the unmistakable sound of shadows moving he whipped around again and shot two feathers down the steps. Completely missing the heartless, flying upwards he got a closer look at the foyer again, it seemed to Fahe that all the shadows were moving at this point. Landing on a chandelier Fahe simply said, "Oh no," as he got ready for battle.

Noko keeps following the trail until it leads to a stopping point.. A large mansion of some wealthy aristocrat, possibly human? He couldn't tell as this place was seeping with heartless, he could sense the presence of several of them. 

"So it seems the trail ends..And a new path opens..Only a fool would go around here, this place is crawling with Heartless.." He said, seeming concerned for whoever he was tracking, as he quickly jumps over the gate to the manor and sees a hole, he draws his First and Last and pushes the doors open. He hen yells "Hello..?!" as the Heartless seem to be drawn to him. About 5 or 6 Shadows seem to spawn around him, mocking him as they can sense his relic, his Heart of Heart as he sighs.

"Get out of my way..I'm looking for somebody."

The Shadows reply in a mad fashion.

Shadows: "AnD So ArE We...FoOD..LiKe YoU...FaLsE ShADoW!"

"Come get me then.." "And undo your wrong!"

They attempt to surround and attack, but Noko dodge rolls to the side, and horizontally slashes to his left, as two of the shadows dissipate into puffs of smoke. As more begin to spawn, he rushes to then rushes to the nearest door, and jump kicks it open, landing on his feet he rushes around, slashing Shadow after Shadow as he huffs a bit.

[Fahe Reingard]

It seems, to Fahe, that the Shadows are now arguing amoungst themselves a perfect chance for Fahe to attack. An attack that'll most likely hurt, but cause a lot of damage. He then turned around and cut the chain holding up the chandelier, making it fall. Jumping up he started flying to watch it fall to the ground, crushing some shadows.

Now flying he opened fire, he fired feathers into the crowd of Heartless without a care where they went, they most likely got one. Sinking to the ground with half his wings left he'd have to wait for his feathers to come back. In a battle stance he waited for any shadow to come for him, he was ready.

Noko hears the crash of the chandelier, as he quickly follows the sound, he opens the door, leading to the room where Fahe was. "I know I heard something..But..Who did that..? Why would they hide here of all places..?"

Noko kept his guard up as he looks around the room, the Shadows begin to attempt to jump and grab him, and he grabs one of them, and uses it as a shield as he slices through a few more, he huffs even more, seeming to drain his energy.

"This..Is.. Huff...Getting old...Hello?!" I've come to get you out of here and ask a few questions! I know you're here because I saw a trail of feathers..Please...Anybody..?" He sighs, still looking for any Non-Heartless. 

[Fahe Reingard]

A voice? Fahe thought confused, How could there be anyone here in this shadow pit? "Hello? Who's there? he said as he looked towards the door where the most Heartless were. Feeling something familiar his feathers started to blow through the door and back into his wings, it isn't fast, but at least it happens.

A Shadow decided to leap at him so he kicked the sucker back, with all the Heartless bunched together, he could just dive through them. With this thought he knew what he was gonna do, he got down, his wings spread, and he dove forward. With a bunch of Shadows now knocked into the air, and a lot of them now dust Fahe ran back into the mansion.

"My name is Noko Troshiro! Hold On!"
Noko notices the shadows before him becoming puffs of smoke, by somebody whom had slashed them, suprised he runs into the room where they where felled.Noko sighs a bit, as he rushes in, slicing the bunched up Heartless in half with his First and Last, he then looks around for anybody.

"I think they are all gone..You can come out now!"

He said, taking a knee as he looks around.

"Trust me..You should have found a better place to stay. This place is to dangerous."

[Fahe Reingard]

"What do you mean come out? I've been fighting these things all alone!" Fahe shouted at the speaker. The feeling in his gut was getting bigger and bigger, his feathers would come back shortly. For now he was stuck on the ground. "Who or what are you anyway?"

Looking around for the speaker all he could see was what looked like a clothed Shadow. He wasn't going to fight it though, the feathers coming would make quick work of it. It seemed that the breeze picked up in the mansion, blowing the doors open, a few feathers flew over the head of the Shadow, no matter the others would hit it. The feathers that did com fixed themselves back onto his wings.

[Deleted]

"EHH!" Noko quickly ducks as the feathers fly over his head.

"Listen...I'm not going to hurt you..I just need answers.." "Watch.."

Noko comes from the shadows, he places his First And Last on the ground, holding his claws up in a non-threatening fashion.

"That Shadow you saw..Was me.."

"You see, I was originally human..Until Number 1.#, a mad Mushroom XII slew me. I was originally a Blacksmith. Tasked to create a weapon to keep Traverse Town safe." "Then I awoke in The Sand lot..Now..I'm this thing."

"I'm looking to stop Number One and somehow become a somebody again. I mean you no harm.."


Noko still keeps his guard up, as he looks around, not able to see the person he's speaking with.


"Let's talk this over..Perhaps we can help each other.."
