In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

"Yeah,sure I'll come along, I mean even if I didn't want to I would end up coming anyway, I still have no clue where we are," Glacio said, his excitement increasing even more,"Oh yeah what is the name of the inn anyway."
I think this is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me before, except for when father gave me our family's heirloom sword, that was pretty cool. Oh yeah that's right at-least I know we still aren't in any immediate danger, since Schutz hasn't activated for a while, so that's good.
Glacio then walked towards Vito, happy thoughts in his head, he then turned around and asked, "Coming Lucas?"
As Lucas thought for a moment, his stomach growled again looking others, “Ya I’m coming”, He said walking with his new “friends” (not sure if he can call them)
As three walked Lucas became curious about the two men and tried looking for a way to ask his question without o either of them
“Uh…Vito, Glacio you guys seems to be very strong if I may ask how did you get like this”, Lucas ask feeling stupid for asking something like, wow that sounded better in my head.
(sorry for lame post)

"If anything Lucas, please define your way of using the word strong," Glacio asked in a serious tone,as he had turned towards Lucas " because everyone's perception of strong is very,very, different. Some may consider one with an advanced mind strong, or one with an extreme tactical though process strong. It all depends on what you mean by strong. This is because it is most likely that our perceptions of strong are very different."
“hm, I see your point”, Lucas said thoughtfully, “well my perception of strong is strong of body” looking from Glacio to Vito then back again.
Feeling like he had to explain Lucas said, “You see in my world we based strength on the mind, body and soul. A strong mind would be extreme tactical know-how and flexible thinking. Strength of body would be skills in hand to hand combat or swordsmanship or ever smiting. Finally a strong soul is the power over the element or magic. So with you guys I believe you have strength of body in swordsmanship”
Lucas looked from one of his compansion to the other waiting for an answer from either one of them.
"Well then by your standards I guess you could possibly consider Me and Vito strong. I don't know alot about Vito's past,but I was trained with swords and magic for about nine maybe ten years.My instructor was the king's high magician,Azreal. He taught me everything I know about magic and guarding, while I actually learned how to use my sword by training with my fellow knights.At the beginning they beat me,since they had more years of experience.I did,after about a month or so, figure out how they fought and started overtaking them in sparring since I had figured out how they had though.That was easy though since they were all aggressive, they never bothered to block .So I timed my attacks to go in between theirs and I eventually won a lot of my sparring matches unless they were against the captain,"Glacio said explaining to Lucas,as he continued," In my world though physical strength wasn't true strength. True strength, was when one was willing to help others before themselves, even in the most dire of situations." Wow these other worlds must be really different from my world, this is interesting though, but I am getting hungry still though.. Hey, do you think we could talk about this later once we get to Vito's inn?" Glacio asked as his stomach rumbled, now louder than before.
“Oh really that’s pretty interesting Glacio, Lucas said recalling his time during training, “ That reminds me when master Dragon had me blindfolded to teach me how ‘see’ without seeing as the other students would try to take the flags that I had to guard, I got some but the others got the flags took me nearly two years to understand the lesson but I finally got it and I kind of happy about it.”
“Huh, oh ok no problem”, Lucas said when he heard Glacio’s stomach growling he tried to keep his composer and not laugh.
After a few minutes of walk Lucas, who had calm down, turned towards Vito and asked “so where this inn of you’re Vito?”
(I hope you don't mind me joining in ) (Sorry for taking so long, you guys are really fast I sometimes I just have a lot to say and it can take a while for me to get all my thoughts in order. I hope this isn't too long)
Smiling after making sure his new companions were following behind him, Vito continued down the street. He answered Glacio with a tiny snicker with a dismissive wave of his hand and a quick "It's just down the road, you'll see in a moment."
As the mismatched group walked, Lucas asked a question that almost made him stop dead in his tracks. He thought he looked 'strong'. Of course he'd been trying to gain strength his entire life, strength to protect and defend his family and tribe was all he had wanted ever since his Rite of Passage. He was saved by Glacio's surprising words. "A very thought out and wise statement Glacio."
Vito listened carefully to both of the teens' definitions of strength. Taking a moment to collect his own thoughts, Vito gave his own beliefs, "Strength, skill, potential, ability, power; its all subjective on where you're from. Where I'm from, we believe that everything comes in fours. The four elements, four components of life, and four vital parts of a complete being. Earth is the flesh of the body and physical form itself. Water makes up the blood and fluid process in which we use our minds. Wind represents the breath that keeps up going and how our souls twist and turn inside of us like a twister, fueled bodies to continue living. And fire grants us with the life-giving spark that jump starts our entire beings and burns our hearts with our emotions and desires." At this point Vito had to take a breath before he continued. These views and beliefs he was trying to explain were the same he'd been taught his whole life. Years spent listening to teachers and philosophers as they explained what they knew about the secrets of life, and what they could only guess. He hoped he wasn't confusing them too much.
"Growing up, my tribe taught me and my peers that true strength, true power, could only be obtained through the perfect combination of all four. We spend years testing the limits of our bodies to endure the hardships of life, exercising our minds to solve any problem we come across, finding our souls within ourselves to keep them going on faith, and allowing ourselves to be driven and fueled by every emotion in our hearts. All of my tribe, the Warriors, Defenders, Hunters, Caregivers; all of us are taught this. That's what makes us beastkin,.. um, human I mean. It's what separates us from the Heartless, who have no souls and can only survive through the influence of darkness, and the Nobodies, whom lack hearts and truly feel emotion or experience what makes life living. As a member of the Beastkin Tribe's army, this is what we learned from the day were selected to the day or life ends."
"Anyways, sorry for ranting on for so long but don't worry, we're here." He stooped out of a four story building just out of the town square. While not terribly spacious or luxurious, what drew Vito to stay here was the large private garden in the back. Most building wouldn't allow Vito's animal companions outside, but they were more than capable of living out in the tamed wilderness of the strange plants. Looking down at the snake and lion still with him he said, "You two can run off now, just make sure you stay within earshot and get Avas to return before nightfall." As the snake began uncoiling herself and sliding down his legs, Vito listened the concerns of the lion's growls before replying, "Don't worry, I'll order a few slabs of meat and feed you later. As for you,.." he said, pointing to the serpent who was now completely on the ground "...there's a small mouse barrow hidden in the eastern trees you can have."
After making sure the beasts were off without causing any trouble, he turned back to his human companions and talked while pointing to a sign hung over the door. The wooden board held a crude but accurate image of a unique key shaped weapon. "Welcome to The Keyblade's Chosen, named in honor of the hero of Radiant Gardens." He then opened the door to reveal a small but well light and comfortable living area holding only a small handful of patrons.
(Its all good Vito, I understand) Glacio had walked in to the inn with extreme interest,"I like it,it isn't too fancy, this place reminds me of my house, I think I might like it here for the rest of our stay, however long that may be." Glacio said, happily, after examining the inside inn. Hmmm I wonder is we can plant things here or if it is just for the staff , of whom I have yet to find. "Hey Vito, is anyone allowed to plant in the gardens or is it just for the staff. Oh and also, where is the staff" Glacio said, normally staff of a (insert name of business type thing here) were always out, but no one was there or at least not right now.
(no problem Vito I just hope I'm not boring u guys with some of these posts) Lucas listened to Vito explain his culture’s perception of strength with a child-like interesting and he began to think; Vito, Glacio and himself all came from completely different worlds and yet than was one thing that kept coming up ‘Strength’ be it strength of mind or strength of body but it was still there and that was the connection they could share.
“The combination of the four elements and the vital parts of a complete being; could that be what the master was trying to teach me this all time”, Lucas thought to himself as they walked, “I wonder how I would be if didn’t learn this because I needed to and more because I wanted to, maybe I would have turned out better and maybe I wouldn’t be so sad about things I can’t change”
Lucas’s thoughts where interrupted when Vito announced that they had arrived at the inn, Lucas stare at the sign in confusion, “The Keyblade’s Chosen? What a weird name for an inn”.
When the trio walked into the inn they found it vacant of life. Lucas was about say something on the matter when Glacio beat him to the question, where is the staff, he had said so Lucas decided to try his hand at some humor saying, “Ya, Glacio is right where are the staff did they all go out for coffee or something”
Vito quickly glanced at the inn's wall clock before he answered the concerns of his companions. "Well, they're probably finishing up dinner right now. It's 5:10 right now, and they serve supper at 5:30 sharp." He finished his statement by pointing to a door near the back of the room, where the hustling sounds of clanging pots and pans marked the it as the kitchen. "Also Glacio, I'm not sure about the rules of planting in the gardens here. The one outside is the property of the inn so you might what to ask the owners."
"Ok, I'll ask them when I have the chance. Oh,another thing, how much do they charge for a night?", Glacio asked, just now remembering he had some gold on him (Where he was, gold was so common, it was used as regular money.), "Would this be enough," as Glacio pulled out two big handfuls of gold. "I really hope it is, I don't feel like sleeping outside again, I didn't mind it. It was just cold, and I didn't have a blanket." Glacio said, remembering last night. So Glacio waited on the staff to get along with lunch as well as Vito's response.
As the group waited to be ser Lucas looked around the inn; the place was beautiful with pictures on the wall were weird however some of some guy holding a strange looking sword. As Lucas eyed the lobby Glacio brought up a serious notice one that Lucas had over looked. Lucas had no money.
“Um guys we have a problem, I no money to use for a room”, Lucas said grimacing at that he should have check in before the group got to the inn, “What are we gong to do now?”
Vito took a seat at a small table near the back of the tavern and motioned for Glacio and Lucus to join him. He enjoyed this spot during mealtimes because it was placed right in front of a large open window looking out into the back gardens. This allowed him to enjoy Radiant Gardens' beauty and keep an eye on his animal friends. From here, he could spot Leon chasing down a tiny rabbit for a snack and Sythe slithering towards the mouse barrow he mentioned.
The beastmaster continued to listen to the concerns of his companions and studied Glacio's gold coins. The concept of currency had been strange to Vito before arriving here, his tribe would always work together whether it came to building homes, making clothing, or hunting and foraging for food. They didn't trade with other tribes very often and it was always with animal pelts, weapons, or other raw materials. Fortunately, Vito was anything if not resourceful.
"I honestly don't know if they accept your currency here. Most businesses in Radiant Gardens only accepts these." Reaching into a small pouch at his side, Vito pulled out a handful of small yellow and blue orb-like objects and placed them on the table. "Munny," he explained "Its accepted almost everywhere around ere, and even in other worlds so I've heard. I've been occupying myself with small jobs in town to try to purchase a Gum-, never mind. I've also learned that some of the heartless around here can even drop a few when their defeated."
Pulling even more of the currency out of his pockets, Vito began counting out the amount he needed. "Don't worry about the cost, I can take care of you guys for a couple of nights. You can always pay me back later, there's no shortage of paid work around here. People who need help with the reconstruction or who pay for protection. Now let's see, it's 30 munny a night here for one room, 10 per meal, so i think I can afford about 3 days for each of you." Carefully setting the 360 munny aside for the two boys, Vito counted what he had left. 238 munny. A minor setback, but he knew that he wouldn't liked to have someone willing to help him out when he first arrived and he was happy to aid the lost teens.
Glacio did come sit next to Vito, question in mind." Thanks for doing this, and do you think later, you could show us around town on where some of those jobs are by chance,......wait, did you say heartless are here?" Glacio asked, with the last known moments of his world in mind, just now realizing what Vito had said,"How, bad are the heartless here, and also I really do appreciate you for helping us." After that, he waited to see what the other two had anything to say.
Lucas saw as both his comrades head to a table sitting next each other, soon following suit taking the sit across the table as Vito talked about the currency of the world.
“Munny, huh? I thought this world couldn’t get any weird and you say Heartless drop those”, he letting himself smile a little, “In my world we used things called tokens and they were set as 1,5,10,20 and even 50 pieces all shape like…well come to think of it like Glacio’s gold there”
Lucas watched as Vito counted out the “Munny” and set it aside, hearing the number he was stunned, “360?! Holy Howls that sounds like a lot, you sure you don’t mind, Vito”
It was then Lucas notice something that Vito had said earily, "Wait other worlds use munny too, just how many worlds are there?".
