We were put into training rooms today. Organization members came forth and fought against us to reveal our elements and weapons. If we failed to defend ourselves…well, we weren't worthy of being in the organization, were we?
And by the way, what's with Organization XIII? I'm pretty sure we have more than thirteen members. Oh well.
Anyway, Organization inconsistent numbers isn't totally heartless. To start off, we all fought against Zexion, who uses illusions to fight. Fighting against him, I found I wield fire. I also learned I was clairvoyant; I wasn't perfect, but I could sense my way through some of the illusions better than others. I think I specialize in enemy detection. Someone mentioned that my gifts would be useful for recon missions.
However, like most of the newbies, I don't have an actual weapon; our powers seem mostly magic based. Zexion muttered something about us having powers before since they were already in such a fixed form.
I was promised that the combat training would get more intense, but in the meantime we needed to learn more about missions we might go on. We started off in Twilight Town, but I was told I'd have missions in other worlds—apparently, they are countless, but there are a few in particular we need to watch.
For my Twilight Town mission, I was paired with Axel since we both used fire. We went around town and he showed me some tricks and I made up some of my own. He was impressed, and told me I deserved something extra. Icing on the cake. For some reason, I felt creeped out by that statement. He suddenly struck me as a pedophile rapist. Which is ridiculous, because I'm pretty sure he's not much older than me—three or four years tops. And besides, I wouldn't actually mind if he tried something…
This is private, right?
Well, anyway, the "icing on the cake" was just ice cream at the tower as we watched the sunset. I suppose it was nice. The ice-creams was terrible, though—salty and sweet at the same time. Ugh. And I have a feeling this moment wasn't so special; it seemed like he'd done this before with someone else. He seemed pretty distant, almost sad.
He mentioned that having a heart, after so long without one, was painful instead of joyous. I wasn't sure what to say to that. The next morning, he was cheerful, sarcastic, teasing…if I had a heart, he'd be almost infuriating. He never mentioned anything else about having a heart or it being painful. I decided to stick by Axel—just to stay consistent if nothing else.
To be consistent. Sure, Xire. Sure.
More to come soon.
What's that? I'm delaying updating the main story because of this? BLASPHEMY!
