A gift and a curse

[reverse-destiny.livejournal.com]

Characters: reverse_destiny and you
Setting: Floor Eleven, once more
Format: Whichever!
Summary: Sora's been given a Keyblade by Aqua. But now, that light is wearing him down--and he's panicking about what this means.
Warnings: None as of yet

No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Sora's shaking, staring at the cold, metallic weapon in his hand. It's foreign, not at all what he's used to. In fact, instead of the wing-shaped blade that he's used to, he holds in his hand a giant key. And no matter how hard he tries, no matter what he does, it's all he can call. And that just won't do. Ansem would kill him. Keyblades are of the light, and light is bad and wrong and it's everything that's hurt him in the past.

Unable to hold in the emotions anymore, Sora throws the Keyblade, it spinning out over the water before vanishing in a flash. It merely appears in his hand again. Finally, after giving a loud, emotional scream that leaves his throat raw, he falls to his knees, shaking. The key rests on the ground beside him where it had fallen. And not too far away, two creatures watch him.

Ven really didn't get why this guy didn't like the Keyblade. Was it because it was one from the Realm of Light or something? He was fairly positive Keyblades could be from Darkness too if Vanitas meant anything.

"Hm?" He snapped his confusion back to Sora at the question and nodded. "Yeah. My old Master made me train against them."

"...My dad controls them. He discovered a lot about them, including a bunch of new ones people didn't know about. Like this guy."

He'll take the Green Requiem into his arms, calming it and keeping it from wasting Cure magic. The Shadow is now creeping up to peer from behind Sora's leg.

"He controls them?" Oh uh wow. Ven's kind of wondering about this guy's dad now, who is starting to sound pretty less than stellar.

There was no hiding the look of surprise on his face, especially when Sora took the Green Requiem into his arms. The Heartless wasn't attacking him or anybody; it was....friendly? "Is...that a nice one or something?"

"It's a Green Requiem. They heal. Don't really have any attacks."

Has Ventus never seen them? They're a common kind of Heartless, too, so this outright confuses Sora. Are Heartless different where Ventus is?

"Heal? Heartless have healing magic?" Well that was certainly baffling, if that look on his face was any indication. He was still watching the Green Requiem, maybe slightly worried that it would start attacking.

"The only Heartless I've seen have only attacked me.." He added, rubbing the back of his neck. And rather violently, at that.

"Well, some of them do. Green Requiems, at least. Most of them are pretty dangerous. Like the Shadow, even though it's small. But they tend to attack in packs."

Have a crash course in the Heartless he brought, Ventus. You're not getting anything else. Though he does seem satisfied that you had to deal with the pain.

Jerk

Yeah he's looking pretty fascinated by the concept of 'Heartless have magick!!!!' Not that he didn't see Unversed that used magic, but for the longest time, Heartless were basically just big, black, blobs of evil.

"You brought a 'Shadow' with you too?" A bit of an eyebrow quirk, but he's trying not to be too harsh. Just wary.
