A new adventure( Koto,open)

[Rex]

Kyriu wasn't happy with what he had been seeing these days. First Reiho was gone, the everybody vanished. He still kept a cheerful, somewhat charming smile on his face. He wanted to get some supplies, then try to figure out how to travel to other worlds.

After a few minutes of walking, he stopped and turned around. He thought he heard a noise.

'' Who's there?'' he called out.

[keyblade]

Koto set her hand against the door. Oddly, a picture of a flame has been painted on it. She had never recalled seeing it before, and was seeing if there was a way to actually open it. She sighed, and shook her head showing a little frustration towards the puzzle.

Behind her, she thought she had heard someone moving around. It didn't bother, she was assuming it was just another bystander.

However, when she heard someone actually say something to her, she turned around and faced them.It was boy who had brown hair, and by the looks of it was only a few years older then she was. She put her left hand on her hip, and waited for him to reply if he was going to. If this boy was thinking she was some kind of threat, he was wrong.

[Rex]

Kyriu finally made out a figure in front of him. He didn't know what to say, he decided to approach the figure. He kept on walking to wards the person. He didn't stop till he was a few feet away from the girl, and judging by her appearance, she looked 15.

Kyriu finally summoned the courage to say something.

'' Sorry If I bothered, you miss....I am Kyriu Ogawa.'' he said while bowing.

[keyblade]

Koto nodded slightly at the boy, and then regained her normal position. She gave a small smile, because what the boy had said reminded her much of him.

After realizing she was thinking of him again however, her smile faded. "Koto," she replied, and then hesitated before saying anything else, "No, you haven't bothered me at all." She continued after finding the right words.

It was dark outside, a few stars could be pointed out from the sky, along with the bright white moon lighting up the streets at such time of day. Koto could here crickets chirping in the background of Kyriu and her conversation.

[Rex]

The student stopped bowing and looked around the area. It sure was quiet today, and since he couldn't sleep anymore there was no way his eyesight was going to get any better. He stopped thinking about his problems, they weren't much compared to other peoples problems.

Kyriu looked at his watch before speaking.

'' If you don't mind my asking miss Koto, what are you doing out here by yourself. Most people are at home during this hour'' Kyriu said.

[keyblade]

"I could ask you the same thing, but if you really want to know, I'm trying to solve a puzzle." Koto replied, and faced the door.

She gestured towards it with her hands. "Do you see, it won't open. I've been trying to understand what this symbol might mean. I'm sure it has to do with something of the sort, but," She turned back around and faced Kyriu, and continued, "Unfortunately I have no idea what it could mean..

"She put her hands on her hips, and asked, "So..what's your story?"

[Rex]

Kyriu walked over to the puzzle. He looked at it for a while, he was about to touch it when he heard Koto's question. It was a bit difficult to answer, he hoped he wouldn't have another panic attack. He turned around and met the girl's eyes before speaking.

'' Me? Well..there's not much to say. I arrived here after my world was taken by the heartless. And I lost everything, including my family and those I carried about. And to top it off, I frequently have panic attacks.'' Kyriu said in a sad but tired tone.

He simply waited for Koto's response.

[keyblade]

Koto watched as he was just about to reach out and touch the strange door, but after he had caught her own question he had stopped, and faced her. As he started speaking Koto nodded along until he had been finished. Just like most of the people here his world was taken over by Heartless, and he had lost everything dear to him. His family even. He mentioned is frequent panic attacks lastly, and was done speaking now he seemed ready for her to reply.

Koto looked down at the ground after hearing all of that. She lied her arms down to her sides, and then looked back up. "I'm...sorry." She began trying to be as sympathetic as possible, and then continued, "Here, everyone has suffered their own tolls, everyone has dealt with hard times, and almost everyone has lost someone dear to them." The last thing she had said made her feel kind of upset with herself. She began thinking about him again.. she felt guilty overall knowing that she could have done something to try and stop him. She was mad at the people in the black cloaks, how they had deliberately killed him, knowing he was overpowered, and wouldn't survive the battle.

At the end of the battle whenever he was dying, was probably the most depressing stage in her whole life. Not only was he dying; he was dying in the hands of his love. Koto herself never really knew he had liked her until he was at his final breath. Naturally, it was quite sad like any other death, but there was something more to it. She couldn't exactly place her finger one it though..

[Rex]

Kyriu simply nodded. He noticed that Koto seemed to space out, he didn't want to question her though. And he thought maybe she didn't want to talk about her past, so he didn't ask at all. He turned his attention towards the puzzle. He looked at it closely, then he noticed the picture of fire.

'' Ah, there's your problem. You have to use fire energy on this door'' he paused to look at her. '' Any ideas?'' he said

[keyblade]

Koto looked up at Kyriu, and then back at the door. "Actually.. I might have something that can work." She replied, and walked up to the door. She set her palm against the flame marking, and fire trailed from her around all the way around the marking. She kept her hand there until the door started to shake, and open. When it did, it was surprising to her, and she almost fell forward.

After she regained her full balance, she looked what was beyond that door. Some weird moving stones were flowing around in some murky, and dark water. They seemed to be some sort of path that lead to a small house in the middle of it all on a small piece of land.

Koto turned around, and looked back at Kyriu, she gave a small smile, and then said, "Thank you, but do you think it's safe to go in there?"

[Shun]

((It´s open so I guess I can pop in. If you meant to close it I will delete my post))

After that awkward peace meeting with Antique, Mikael had been training most of the time, taking only the necessary rests to eat and sleep. He trained about seventeen hours daily, leaving only seven periods free. However, the boy occasionally explored the three districts, looking forward to eventually remember them perfectly. The Third District had gotten a lottery ticket that day.

He still remembered the female apprentice´s words as he walked through the district, spotting the familiar golden fountain. She had told him about how weird she felt around him, but didn´t explain that weirdness. Was it a good feeling or a bad one? Mikael suddenly realized he was not alone; two other humes were with him, a man and a girl.

"Actually... I might have something that can work."

Silently walking toward both of them, the pyro observed as the girl hit a strange door with a fire spell. "Interesting..." he thought, not caring to do noise as he walked anymore. The girl looked as a promising fire user. Perhaps he could take her to Jadis and train her himself? After all, his fire was almost unmatched.

"Well... the cavern does not look that dangerous." His face wore a serious look as he sensed the magical aura in the cave, eyes closed. "Mystical energy floods from the lake... from the small house in the middle. I am sorry, I have not introduced myself. I´m Mikael."

[Rex]

Kyriu simply stared at the open door way. It was weird, he had never seen anything like it. He examined the door, then the room inside...it did seem a bit, dangerous. But the real question was, what was a door like this doing here in the first place? It seemed rather..odd.

"Well... the cavern does not look that dangerous."

Kyriu turned and looked at the man who suddenly joined the group. He looked, well...a bit scary. Come to think of it most people over did.

'' Um...nice to meet you Mr Mikael'' was all Kyriu said.

He glanced back at Koto and awaited her response

[keyblade]

Koto had a strange feeling as if she was being watched, and then suddenly a boy came up to her, and Kyriu and said something. Koto turned around and faced him. He had said that the door hadn't looked too dangerous, and then he had said his name. She looked back at Kyriu who had replied, and then looked back at her.

Koto looked back at the boy known as Mikael, his face was quite serious, while hers was blank. She thought for a brief moment, and then began her response even though his eyes were closed.

"Koto, and this is Kyriu." She said, and then shifted her eyes towards Kyriu not really sure of what else to say.

[Shun]

Mikael noticed the awkwardness in the man's response. He half opened his left eye, only to see him glance at the girl. Was he that scary? No one had reacted to him that way before. Heh, maybe his sudden entrance had caused it, nothing to worry that much about. Opening his eyes, the pyro learned the two fellow teenagers' names. Koto and Kiryu... strange names indeed. But the boy couldn't judge; after all, Mikael wasn't a common name either.

"Nice to meet you both as well. Sorry if my creepy entrance put you two in an awkward situation. It wasn't really my intention." he smiled apologetically before looking at the cavern in front of him. Full of mystery and suspense... it woke up the boy's curiosity.

"So, shall we go inside? I wonder what lies inside..." Mikael continued, his eyes fixed at the moving stones.

(Blah post)

[keyblade]

As Mikael spoke again, Koto looked back at him. "Creepy entrance?" She said after him, and then looked back at the cavern. She gave a small nod, and then started walking until the water came.

Whenever that happened, she waited until the first moving stone passed almost in front of her, and then she jumped onto it. At first the stone was shaky, and she had a difficult time balancing on it, but after she had gotten used to it, it was easier to stand on.

She focus on the next stone up ahead, but before jumping she looked back at Kyriu, and Mikael wondering if they would follow or not. After that was done with, she looked back at the stone. It was a farther jump, a little ways ahead then the others were. She held her breath, and then tried to leap over towards it. She landed on it successfully, but once on it lost her balance, and the slipped off the edge.

She knew she was about to hit the water, but before she did it felt as if someone had caught her landing. She exhaled relieved, and then started to say, "Thank you Ky-" but she was cut off as she turned around, and say no one there. Mikael and Kyriu were back at the entrance of the cavern.

Koto was pulled back onto the stone by something, and then she stood there dazed for a brief moment. She felt dizzy, and she had a headache suddenly. She set one hand against the side of her head, and then felt very weak. She fell down, and fainted. She blacked out, and then heard a voice, "Don't worry, I got you." It was familiar to her.. it was his voice.
