Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lea had been walking along, searching for any signs of something being wrong. Suddenly he heard a voice calling out. He turned his head back slightly to look behind him with a slightly curious "hm?" before turning all the way around to see a girl running up to him. "What's up kid?" he asked, before listening to her explain.

Once she had asked her questions, he rubbed the back of his head rather sheepishly. "I stand out that much, huh? Yeah, I've never been so good at the whole 'blending in' thing." he said, a bit of a sheepish smile on his face. "As for your question, the last time I saw a boy of that description . . . was about twenty years ago." he said, wincing, assuming she meant Vanitus. "I thought he was gone for good though." he murmured, looking a bit more worried than he did before. "Although, I thought the Organization was gone for good as well, yet here I am, tracking signs of a new Organization." he continued talking to himself before realizing that he was indeed talking to himself and that this girl probably didn't need to know some of the stuff he let slip.

"I'm Lea, by the way. L-E-A. Got it memorized?" he asked, the old habit still there as his finger went up to point at his head, his other hand resting on his hip as he leaned over slightly towards the girl.

((OOC: I keep wanting to call him Axel!!! crying Old habits die hard I guess. XD))
Lea's eyes widened when she summoned a keyblade he recognized very well. Roxas had once wielded that keyblade, along with a partner keyblade that was black in color and a bit sharper in design. He could only guess that THAT was the keyblade her brother wielded now. "Well, I know the keyblade your brother wields, if it's the same keyblade I'm thinking of. A friend of mine used to wield the same keyblade, along with the one you wield now. He's retired." he said, grinning a bit as he threw that last line in rather off-handedly.

"But you know, maybe we can help each other. We both seem to be looking for someone. There's a group that I'm tracking. They wear cloaks like mine, and . . . they're bad news. I could use a keyblade wielder on my side to help stop them, and maybe while we're tracking them down we might run across your brother. What do you say?" he asked, holding out a hand as an offer to shake on it.

Nicole smirked. "Just once? You made this way too easy." she said, bringing up her keyblade to hold it over her head with one hand, ready to be on the offensive and swing it down at any moment. Her other hand she held out in front of her to try and keep her balance. She remembered Xelona saying something about how balance was important. And she'd definitely be relying on her speed to outmaneuver this guy. "Prepare to regret your words." she taunted before rushing at him, her first move to try and get behind him and slash down at his unprotected side since he had so conveniently kept his keyblade to one side.

Xelona heard the whistle and sighed. She should have guessed something like this would happen. She waited though and listened to Nicole brag about skills that she hadn't honed yet and rolled her eyes. "Reckless." she muttered, walking over to where Xyrot was as the girl lashed out, using the training as a distraction for the outsider. "What do you want? If it's about the quota, I'm trying my best to get her to kill heartless, but the ones in this world have been acting . . . abnormally. They've been flying more than usual. Like they've suddenly developed a survival instinct. Either that, or there's someone controlling them. In the meantime, I've decided to help our keyblader with her ability to use her weapon so that future missions might go a bit smoother." she said, looking back over her shoulder at the training session every so often just to make sure that Nicole was okay. If the girl got hurt NOW, she had no doubt that Xyrot would make sure she turned into a dusk for not protecting the keyblade wielder like she was supposed to. Although, depending on the mask he wore, maybe he'd be merciful.

Diana Fotieni


We're a thousand miles from comfort, we have traveled land and sea
But as long as you are with me, there's no place I'd rather be
I would wait forever, exalted in the scene
As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat...

Location: Land of the Dragons - Mountainous Village
Company: Lea
Ooc: I was thinking maybe they could run into Xelona and the gang if that's ok with you. Or we can just keep Lea and Diana separate from that.

Diana walked alongside Lea, looking up at him as she listened to his explanation. So the Organization were a group of Nobodies. She hoped with all her heart that her brother didn't lose his heart and become one. When he mentioned being a part of the Organization the blonde girl's eyes widened but she didn't look fearful about it. "So you were a part of them? What made you leave?" she asked then added, "If you don't mind me asking."

As they walked along Diana kept her eyes out for signs of her brother or signs of people in cloaks. From afar she thought she saw a fight going on but couldn't make out the people involved quite yet.
