<Hikari-Sora1> What was this? The serene majesty coating and caressing through his limbs, past his face and his ears. Gentle sea green irises fluttered opened and his supple lips parted. Not a few moments later, the eyes attempted to adjust his sight to his surroundings. Wh-what was this...he couldn't feel his arms...or his legs. This was almost like he had no appendages whatsoever and almost began to panic. Then he felt that familiar embrace. That weightless embrace held the boy dearly as his clouded mind picked up a bit of tranquility. It was then his eyes saw past the darkness and found himself immersed in his element. Soft hues of blue ran on into the distance getting darker and darker. This was heaven. A soft smile came to the Nobody's lips but as quickly as it came it faltered. The expression of a brunette flashed in his memory. He looked confused...then sad, like he pitied him. That's right! The Keykid! What happened at the ravine...he held off the kid...and then his world went black. This simply wouldn't do...what would his superiors think? They must've thought him a hopeless case. He never got to say goodbye...was he dead? 'Did...I die?' The sound of his mental voice sounded strange, echoing in his thoughts. So this must be what its like. Death was merciful even to Nobodies? Is that why he rested here in this endless body of water? The young Nobody wondered then and there where everyone was and realized he was alone...no...even the widest and warmest of sweet waters wouldn't make him happy. Not if he couldn't be with his family. I want to go home...then like a sign, a glimmer of light shimmered rays of warmth through the water, illuminating a path like a road to paradise. It was nostalgic in a way, he remembered feeling this way. The light was a beacon, surely it must be. Everyone must be there waiting for him. Demyx traversed to the light, never once stopping.
<BlindTaleTeller> Well the mini vacation had been nice. More than a few trips to the casino, time out on the water and for him more importantly in the wind.. and best of all he had very good company. " I promise, we won't stay for very long.. " Xaldin offered to Luxord as they stepped out onto the Dark Beach again. He knew how this place affected him and didn't like taxing him like this, but: standing orders as they were, the stop was necessary. " I just have to check with the Dragoons .. they're supposed to be patrolling right now. " Shifting his duffle to the sand, his eyes scanned the nearby shore: the stone arch they had come up under shadowing the moonlit waters as always. One of the Dragoons was dancing over the sand there, making odd designs in the water-wet silted earth. " Hm.. " his fingers squeezed Luxord's softly, glancing back to him. " Fifteen minutes, maximum. "
<Moth-Orchid> He couldn't help but wince slightly as he followed the Lancer into what, to him, felt like trying to breathe stagnent water. "Time here is irrelavant," he couldn't have stopped him self from saying that for a new deck and his own galleon. "What's he on about over there?" he asked as he caught sight of the frantic Dragoon. "Someone else come up?" It was not, in his opinion the most wonderful of opportunity. He had little fondness for those who had remained submerged, even if Axel could play a decent hand of Texas hold'em. He wondered how Xaldin would take the suggestion to throw whom ever it was back.
<Hikari-Sora1> Just...a little further...the boy's lungs screamed for rest. He didn't realize it was so far but he still didn't stop, he was almost there. Demyx reached up seeing what looked like the surface and broke through. A splash of water crashed from under the stone archway as the Nobody took in a gasp of air greedily suddenly feeling exhausted and weak. Perhaps from his journey, who knew. Waves rushed against the arch and the shore as the panting boy tried desperately to reach shore.
<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin was already on his way at a quick stride, shrugging with a slight smirk in his smile aimed back at Luxord. " Could be he's just playing in th-- " The splash had cut his thought off and whipped his head back around; though it was the breath in; that sudden extra motion of confirming air that got his feet moving a lot faster for the shoreline. " Okay never mind that. I'll snatch him! " The other two Dragoons that had been roaming up and down the shore were coming in from either side. The Lancer didn't waste any time summoning up his weapons and riding the dragon out to circle back down to whoever had come up, offering his hand. It looked a little off, not being in the uniform cloak: he was still dressed for the warmer weather of the Islands. It took all of two seconds to identify him.. " Demyx... " he himself was glad it wasn't VIII. That would have likely meant a bit of struggle, just for one. His voice picked up " Take my hand, I'll pull you out. " and tossing back far louder to Luxord: " It's Demyx! "
