Axel walked in the city of The World That Never Was, it was quiet, and pouring rain. His spikes gently flattened a little against his head, he closed his eyes. The rain was refreshing. His boots were a little muddy from the wt dirt along the ground. It was pretty scarce in the city, dirt.
He heard an odd noise and looked around. Nothing. He cocked his head, it had probably been the wind. He continue walking, noticing something out of the corner of his bent down to get a closer look.
It was a little girl, with jet-black hair, a teal hair bowt, and a teal dress, tied back with a black ribbon. One of her eyes was a pale silver, the other a pale green, and she, like her eyes, was very pale. Grey cat ears jutted blatantly out of her black hair.
Axel blinked, "Hello?"
The girl was silent.
"Little girl?" He asked.
Nothing.
He cocked his head, "little girl, are you a nobody?"
She didn't speak, but her ears went flat.
"Don't be scared," Axel held out his hand, "it's cold and wet out here. Why don't you come with me?"
She took a step back.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. I just don't want you to be stuck out here." He smiled a little.
The girl took a few step forward, he could see her now, she was tiny, probably about eight or so and she was covered in filth, probably from being out for a while. She had small glasses with a crack in the edge of the glass, possibly from falling. She hesitantly looked up at him.
"Come on," he grabbed the little girl's hand, "let's go inside where it's warm."
He walked quickly up to the door, trying to talk to the child.
"So, how'd you get here?"
Silence.
"How old are you?"
Quiet.
"What's your name?"
She looked up, "Which one?" A slight British accent marked her voice.
"Uh, both?" Axel asked.
"My old name was Rido. Now I'm Ordix.." She looked at him.
He nodded, "So, you're a nobody, then?"
Ordix nodded a little. Axel opened the door and quickly helped the girl in, "Come on, I'll tell superior about you in the morning, but everyone's asleep now, let's not wake them."
