Welcome to Gaia! ::

Adriel awoke to the blood-red walls of his hotel room. Yawning, he rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and got out of bed.

You know, the voice said, they say sleeping in a red room will drive you mad.

"I'm sure you would know." Adriel muttered, pulling his shirt on, then lazily donning his trench-coat. He began to stretch, readying himself for his morning exercises. Three months I've been here, he thought to himself. Three months since that day, and still not a single clue, not a single lead on what i should do. I swear, if nothing happens soon, I'm getting out of this place to see what else I can find. With that, he walked out on to the balcony to his room. A smirk formed on his face, as he summoned Fayte, and jumped off, driving the keyblade into the skull of a shadow.

He ran through the streets, cutting down the heartless as they appeared, on his way to the first district, where he would buy himself some breakfast. A shot of blizzard just grazed his leg, making it burn with what felt like frostbite. He hadn't noticed the Blue Rhapsody in front of the door.Damnit!!, when did that thing get in front of the door!? The heartless sent another blizzard his way. Adriel sprang forward, jumping over the magic blast, and pointed his keyblade at the heartless, casting fire. The Rhapsody died instantly, and Adriel landed where it was just a moment before, collecting the health orbs and munny it dropped.

"I have no idea why heartless carry munny," Adriel said, laughing. "But who cares, I have cash for breakfast!" With that, he stepped into the First District, and headed for the cafe.

Sena sat in her small apartment in the second district, her hair still down around her shoulders in it's usual morning mess. She brushed it back gently, her eyes drooping due to yet another sleepless night, dreaming about those wicked heartless. Her blue eyes were silent and lifeless as she proceeded through her morning ritual, washing her face, sliding on her dress then belt, shoes, weapons, one step at a time. She put her hair up last, wanting to mke sure it was perfect and wouldn't get ruined in the movement of getting the other items on. She made her bed, grabbed an apple off her corner desk and tied a ribbon around her finger to remind herself to do something. The ribbon had been sitting at her bed side reminding her to put it on in the morning so she didn't forget something then but she'd been going through with that same ribbon every day for weeks on end, she couldn't remember even what it was for anymore, but she hoped that wearing the ribbon would help her eventually remember what it was. It couldn't have been work, that was to natural to forget, but there wasn't much else she could remember that she'd ever forgotten.
With the knot on her finger and everything else in order, she headed out the door, her silver hair bobbing a bit despite being held up by the clip at the back of her head. She lived across the square from the hotel and though there wasn't far to get to the first district, there were plenty of heartless to get past. Being a bit more of a passifist, Sena jumped onto the ledge, walking around the heartless by walking that ledge then cutting the corner with a slight jump. That was not one of her better lands. Her foot slipped and she barely managed to catch herself, her finger tips grasped the edge. She reached her other hand up and grasped it in both hands before swinging against it, using her feet to push against the wall. She pushed up higher, like a pendulum hitting a wall and gaining momentum from her push, until she flipped over, her feet landing on the walk way. She ran straight for the door immediately, jumping up to avoid the frosty chill of a blizzard attach from a Rhapsody in front of the gate. She shrugged and made her way into the first district.
Once she was into the one area of town that wasn't over ruled by heartless, she slid down the banister on the stairs that led to the center square by the cafe. She dusted herself off, checked her hair and made sure she looked completely composed before she walked into the cafe for breakfast.

Aimlessly wandering about, Adrias found himself in the second distrace in his grand quest to find the ever so wanted BOOZE! Unfortunately fate had other plans. There he stood, a look of extreme displeasure as he saw the orb of shadow there "Oh come on!" He yelled into the sky as if the gods themselves were doing their damnedest to keep him sober. "You know what, hell no! no chance!" He turn on a heel and begin quickly marching away, shouldering his hammer, at least he tried to. He could get no more then a couple steps before just stopping "you know, I thought for sure I took care of that whole 'good conscience' thing" With that he turned on his heel once more, breaking out into a dead run with everything that he had. "I better get something out of this, god willing I will kill someone if not!" He yelled out again, as to who or what, who knows, the man is pissed. Running with everything he had, he bore straight into the shadowy orb only to come to a dead stop upon seeing the Dark Side. "ah crap...stupid good conscience is going to kill me" Taking a deep breath, choking up on his hammer he pointed at the Dark Side "Oi! you! yea! your with a face that would make your own reflection cry! Get over here! I am Adrias Lodoss and I am going to Kick. Your. a**!" With that he flipped off the Dark Side with a big grin, taking a side stance as he set his hammer across his shoulders.

"Tch. That all?!" Adrias raised up his hammer high with both arms, his eyes narrowing as he yelled "Spirit of the Divine Flame! EMBRACE!" With an explosion of light, his hammer became wrapped up in and explosion of fire and light which then spread down across his body. "now then...let me show you the specialty of my particular craft" Crouching low, Adrias bound up high, avoiding the initial assault of the shock wave. There in the air, his body hung, both hands still gripped tightly around his hammer. "Final Blow! Resonance!" In that moment, his body quickly began to circulate his energy into his hammer, which would then amplify it and send it back into his own. Again and again his body circulated this every mounting force of energy until his body felt as though it was going to burst into flames itself. "Yo! give my regard to that old b*****d!" In that moment, he plummeted down, at the massive darkside, channeling everything he had right into his hammer. At the moment of being filled with all that energy, the hammer itself changed. The head itself grew several times its normal size all while giving out a piercing light. Adrias had every intent to put this battle away right now.

For what reason the massive heartless decided to attack the ground around it escaped Adrias, but he was not going to let this opportunity slide. With a great and forceful roar, he brought the massive hammer down atop the Darkside's head. With a massive impact, a shock wave was released across the area, rays of light pierced out from the hammer into the Darkside, skewering its body from top to bottom "BECOME THE LIGHT" Adrias's voice boomed out again as the Dark Sides body quickly began to shatter from the grand assault of light "Tell that old b*****d He will not have me!" And with that he quickly brought his hammer up again and brought it down hard atop the Darkside, it's body shattering into particles of light from the impact of the hammer. Dropping quickly to the ground, Adrias stumbled for a moment, the assault itself draining him, but with the source of assault gone, the heartless of the area slowly withdrew, not wanting to risk a confrontation with the old craftsman. Adrias slowly shouldered his hammer again, turning his back and heading off for the railstation again, he did not think it safe to stay here any longer, especially after that particular stunt. "Damn it, all I want is a drink..."
