Anyway ,I decided to try and improve my writing , so let me know if its better than previous chapters.
also I do not own kingdom hearts
Enjoy
She met the three fairies the next day , when she went by the room the fairies took after the incident.
They couldn't stand to go near their old one , and honestly she couldn't either Luckily they weren't seriously 's a miracle Yen Sid arrived when he did.
Maleficent being who she is , had a lot of very strong heartless holding him it all turned out ok in the one of the fairies died Yen Sid might have decided she's more trouble than she's worth.
Ruby was currently in her room , the fairies keeping her company.
"ooh deary how bout this , im sure youll look wonderful in this", That was fuana holding up a green dress at the moment.
Her gaze so expectant and happy that ruby had no idea how to tell her that she couldn't take off her clothes...it being part of her and all.
'Someone get me out of here' , Ruby thought staring at this phenomenon in front of her.
Eversince the fairies heard she saved them , they have been trying to give her a gift as thanks.
But they have made no progress in the last two hours of trying.
Of course flora and merryweather won't just let poor ol Ruby wear something so green.
"make it blue!"
"make it Red!"
The other two simultaneously shouted "Why would I do that when green is such a lovely colour?" Fauna seemed genuinely confused , If Ruby hadn't already heard this argument about her lamp , bed and closet she would have doubted her.
" oh nothing's wrong with them deary , red's just better than green." Flora said this with a sure nod , flying up to fuana.
"Well I think both are stupid , blue is way better" Merryweather flew up to them hands on her hips
"Red!"
"green!"
"blue!"
k The were now casting spells at the dress in fuana's hands , it's color keeps changing to match their exclamation.
Magical sparks flying left and right as their magic flew from their little sticklike were even starting to sweat from exerting their mana this much, on something as stupid as a dress.
Girls! perhaps we should ask her what she likes?",This suggestion made Ruby Freeze
'crap!'
"Great idea!" " you like blue right!?"
Suddenly they were in her face , each hoping to get one up on each other.
"uhhm...I...uhhh"Ruby was at a loss , she didn't want to offend her host's , but telling them the truth might make them sad , Then she also has to consider the fact that she likes black...and kinda hate most anything besides that and purple.
Tho's if she honestly could choose one of the three it would definitely be Red , it would go with her hair and pale skin.
"Now , now ladies , I'm sure you can decide on something later , It's time for her training.
Yen Sid was at the door , he seemed fairly amused at Ruby's predicament.
"awww I guess" , the fairies were really disappointed , but they didn't catch Ruby mouthing thank you to Yen Sid.
He cracked a small smirk and nodded for her to follow , leading her into the hall and out the main door
A few minutes later Ruby was back in the giant room , She was sitting cross legged on the floor. Yen Sid was pacing in front of her Last time she was here she didn't really pay much attention , soo she examined the room around her.
The floors and walls were a faded Yellow , mostly made of giant sized bricks. Unlit torches line the walls of the training room,
There were also some cracks in the floor from what was probably super powerful spells.
"so what am I doing today , I already summoned that staff so I doubt that's what were going for" Ruby looked contemplative as she said this , arms crossed
"You have indeed summoned it once , but can you do it again? It would be for the best to practice that when you have the time.
Today I shall help you unlock your mana , I'm sceptical if it would work , but I do sense that you do indeed have some",He waved his wand and suddenly all background noise vanished , she could even hear Yen Sid's heart beat ,
ba dum ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum ,
ba dum ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum
ba dum ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum
ba dum ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum ba dum ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum
ba dum ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum
"Alex!"Yen Sid seemed concerned , he was kneeling in front of must have zoned out."Are you well?"
"uhm yeah , just kinda got lost in thought sorry." She rubbed the back of her head , trying to seem embarrassed.
Inside however she was unnerved , she was well aware she was focusing on Yen Sid's heart , She's kinda glad she didn't do anything was starting to take notice of all these little times that she happens to be thinking or listening to people's hearts and honestly it's starting to frighten if she hurts someone...or have to leave all her new friends , who would no doubt want revenge , and go find her way back to being human by herself , that would seriously slow her would also be more likely that Maleficent would get her, the mere thought of that terrified her , no longer being able to go her own way , if Maleficent had her she would never be human again.
'Why do I even want to be human again tho? All those painful thoughts and feelings and ...even worse...responsibilities' , Realising her train of thought she immediately stopped , being human was her goal , that's what she would have decided if she still had her heart , so she'll go with that,
aFter all she is way more special than the average wandering shadow heartless , she can reason with herself , even if her most intense feelings are so very , very muted.
It wasn't that she couldn't see the benefits of being a heartless , it's more like she's aware that she doesn't have enough of herself present to decide to give up.
Of Course another thing she wants back is her games , that was her lifeline back home , and heartless or not she can almost certainly say that she longs more for gaming than hearts.
'...holy crap...', Why didn't she think about this sooner...Sephiroth is real now...she can beat him in a one on one fight now.
Well she could try , that would be one scary fight , but she's sure she can do it ...eventually , right now tho shes weaker than cannon fodder ,
making Yen Sid's training way more important , witch is why she should probably stop ignoring the super powerful glaring wizard infront of her , with his crossed arms and slow tapping foot...'I bet he could take both Dumbledore and Gandalf in a fight' ,this made her snicker.
"Is something amusing?" Yen Sid quirked his eyebrow , now he kinda made her think of an angry parent scolding a child.
But that means she's the child , witch ticked her off , she let out a low growl , not liking that condescending tone but deciding to not piss off the one person helping her , so she just said "no sir" before averting her contact might make him mad when he's being parental.
"Sit down and cross your legs , we will utilize meditation as the means of controlling your mana" , She slowly sat down , crossing her legs and keeping her back tried meditation a few times in her old life , the first few times were great ...but then it got really , really boring.
"Now close your eyes" She did , then she felt something poke her on her head , startled she opened her eyes again , seeing Yen Sid had his wand on her forehead,
she nearly burst out laughing when she realised what she just thought , but kept her cool."Close your eyes" , He repeated slowly and after she did she felt a burst of energy inside her was like a little ball of power in her head , fluttering around."Follow the energy , it shall lead you towards your mana" ,
She barely heard Yen Sid , her thoughts were already internalized in a way they never were before , it was so much more intensely calming than her previous slowly followed the energy , down , down and down some more , then near the right side of her stomach area she felt it.A energy that felt oddly familiar , yet she knows she never touched it little powerball fizzled out unnoticed."Now that you found it , fokus on it and try to move it into different shapes" Yen Sid's voice was hardly a whisper and she was fairly certain he had to use magic for her to hear that. But she did as told , slowly willing it into different was like she can visually see what it was doing , it was captivating.
Yen Sid was very worried , the first five or so hours were normal when unlocking ones mana , but she hasn't moved in more than a day , he was nervous about disturbing her because her mana felt more volatile than normal and it may react violently , but he realised she might not come out by herself.
Witch was partially true , ruby was having a figured out how to split her mana into two parts , she ofcourse did the obvious thing and made a game out of it , shaping both into humanoid characters and making them fight...it got to the point where she reshaped them into her and sephiroth.
This was the most fun she had since getting here. Even if she controlled both characters , she was at least playing when she was about to guard against Sephiroth's latest stab attempt a voice startled her ,"ALex , come back out here",the voice was filled with concern , when she refocused she realised sephiroth impaled her...even in own Imaginary fights , he still Anger she let go off her mana and snapped out of her trance , feeling very refreshed.
"What were you doing , you have been there for almost a day and a half?" , Yen Sid seemed really worried , but then what he said slapped her in the face.
"Wait What!? , It's only been a few minutes maybe an hour tops!" , Ruby was now the concerned one , it didn't really feel that long at all, she was kinda hoping to use this as a way to stop her boredom , but if it consumes this much time she might not be able too."Time works differently when directed within our minds,
witch is what this meditative exercise does , but one can learn to control it with enough practice."Yen Sid's explanation was short and to the point , and he was nearly stupefied when she told him of her little game , apparently that was not a normal thing to do.
After that , she spent a lot of time practicing how to control the time spent inside her , almost ravenously due to finding a way to get her gaming life back somewhat.
Luckily it wasn't too hard too figure out , despite Yen Sid trying to get her to leave it and move on to casting magic , She was sure he regretted the few tips he gave her when she asked.
It's been weeks since that first experiment and she has gotten it down too 2 hours outside for one hour inside , it helped that she loved doing was like she was being productive playing games.
Witch is a combo she didn't know existed.
Most of her time now went towards her impromptu gaming idea , creating different games with her mana , she was hoping to one day be able to do the same things outside her body , like with telekinesis or something , then she can really play , the problem was her normal lazy streak has come back with the gaming,
she just doesn't feel like doing few times she left her room the fairies would always crowd her she decided enough was enough.
She left her room in search of the fairies , by now she could traverse this place like a was going to help them with chores to hopefully try and get some productivity was on her way towards the kitchen , as it was most likely that one of them would be there.
But on her way she noticed something odd , in the hallway she was , there was a old style broom...with arms...and using the straw of its bottom as feet.
It was currently sweeping back and forth , cleaning the leaned in cautiously and lifted her hand , quick as lightning she grabbed the broomand lifted it to had its arms on its wais...shaft?...and she got the feeling it was glaring at her. Before she could react it had lifted it's straw side up.
Bending in a way no normal broom should...then promptly swept her face a few caused her grip too loosen and it it stood up it dusted itself off and continued sweeping.
"Ooooh now yer gonna get it" Ruby muttered before diving at the broom , intend on revenge.
Their impromptu brawl caused a big dust cloud to form.
When the dust cloud vanished , the broom once again dusted itself off , before noticing all the dust on the floor , it jumped up and down in anger before giving a prone and twitching Ruby one last kick and storming off.
Ruby was ashamed , "I just lost to a broom...A BLOODY BROOM!', her fighting skills really were non existent.
She lost twice to Sora's group true but she hoped she was at least passible , now thou...she just sucks.
"Are you alright deary?" Healing magic washed over her and when she looked up Flora was n the air above her.
"Yeah , im fine , just met a really mean broom" , Ruby shuddered at the memory."That's good to hear dear , but why are you all the way out here?
It's unusual for you" , If she thought this was unusual , then Ruby's next question threw her for a loop.
"I'm here to ask you if there are any chores I can help with?" , Ruby said it with excitement , but honestly she had too force herself.
Flora was silent for a bit before sighing , deciding not to let this opportunity go to waste.
"why yes , your timing is quite good , Master Yen Sid told us a little while ago to fix the place up a bit , apparently he's bringing a guest."
"oh , anyone I know?" Ruby was out of the loop , all the stuff she remembers of this world has long passed .
"I don't know ,he was very cryptic , anyhoo I think you could do the dishes while I dust this place off.
Witch is what Ruby did , along with other chores for the rest of the regretted every moment.
Early the next morning the fairies had ushered Ruby out of bed and told her to go to Yen Sid's study but the moment she stepped into the hall she felt like someone was watching her. SHe cautiously looked around , missing the shadow darting by her.
She moved towards the door when she felt the need to ...Duck!.
With a heavy thud a giant shuriken pierced the wall in front of her.
"ohhh lucky dodge! your better than I thought you'd be" , Suddenly a black haired girl in a ninja get up had her in a choke hold like hug.
"I'm the great ninja Yuffie , Yen Sid sent me to train you" , before Ruby can process her words , she was spinned around , hand gripping her shoulders.
Yuffie stared deep into her glowing yellow eyes."You don't look as bad as I thought you would ...you know , being a heartless and all", She said this before nodding with her eyes closed.
Ruby had enough of being thrown around , she tried to swipe at Yuffie only to be judo thrown into a wall.
"I take it back...your worse than I if you wanna dance come catch me first."
Before Ruby could even right herself , Yuffie had dropped a smoke bomb.
Vanishing before the smoke slowly stood up , rubbing her head.
"fuck this" She walked back to her room and collapsed on her bed.
She was out like a light as soon as her head hit the bonus of being a heartless.
She can just decide to sleep and she's out like a had any dreams tho , and that kinda sucked.
splash! Ruby bolted upright , trying to make sense of her surroundings , freezing water dripping from her body.
She was in the training room , witch she had no idea how she got here.
"Your no fun y'know , here I am hiding on the roof , and you never show .
What do I find when I went searching for you instead? You passed out on me"
The culprit revealed herself by marching around Ruby , trying to look intimidating.
The grin on Yuffie's face said otherwise.
"ugh...what the hell! First you attack me and now you kidnap me?!" , Ruby was very annoyed , in the game she really liked Yuffie but in real life she seemed very overbearing. She was currently smiling innocently at her.'smug bastard was what that expression told slowly got up and dusted herself , she vaguely realised that was probably her first shower since becoming a heartless.
She seemed unable to get dirty so she didn't bother.
"I like to teach with hands on approach and with what I saw and heard so far you are gonna need it" before Ruby could respond Yuffie was in her face.
"sooo is it true Sora beat you in three hits?"Ruby just stared at her before trying to justify herself."It was three on one! And I never fought much before!
I got them to team up on me , that means they were I AM A BADASS!".
Yuffie was momentarily startled by Ruby's outburst , but quickly put on a condescending smirk , leaning in Yuffie said, "prove it"
The she jumped away and got a bo staff from out of seemingly some insane ninja sleight of hand.
Ruby realised quickly she was tricked , growling but going with it she summoned her rusty staff.
'wonder if this thing will even last past the first hit.' It still looked as flimsy as before , rusted and broken.
While she was grimishing at her staff , her feet were pulled from beneath her , falling on her butt.
looking up she saw Yuffie holding her bo staff at her throat , "You really shouldn't take your eyes off your opponent , that could get you killed"
She held her hand out for Ruby , helping her up when she took it.
It was quickly established that Yuffie was a sadist in training , while she couldn't make Ruby do any exercises like pushups and situps.
It did free up her training to purely skill building , focusing only on her movements , the power of her strikes , how to use mana to augment her power and quickly realised that she had very little in terms of muscle memory , witch made everything that much harder.
It was immediately clear that she won't be a close range fighter , or an expert...ever.
The sadist part came from the sheer amount of pain she's feeling , Yuffie wasn't pulling her punches , going for every opening possible.
If she could she would be bruised from head to toe. It's honestly surprising she didn't seemed to know how to beat her without actually making her vanish but it still hurt a lot.
Yuffie paused mid swing when the door opened and flora came in , "Dearies! hurry up and get ready!, master Yen sid decided we should welcome Yuffie here with a feast"This immediately made Yuffie cheer and her stomach grumble , Ruby was also glad , she may not need food , but she could still taste. She was kinda jealous that Yuffie gets a feats while she only got training , but as she said , she didn't really need to eat and it's not like food fills that annoying empty feeling inside her.
The feast itself was great , all of them sitting around a very big table filled with scarfing down most of the chicken , witch was her favorite.
Yuffie may have a great physique , but it makes no sense with the amounts she can stuff down her literally had a pile of plates next to her.
The fairies mostly ate fruits and sweets , witch was a really weird combo that also oddly made sense.
Yen sid himself ...honestly she didn't see what he ate , but there's an empty plate by him so he must have.
Afterwards Yuffie asked Ruby if she wanted to go outside with her , reluctantly Ruby agreed.
So now their sitting outside Yen sid's tower , and for Ruby it's like the first time she noticed the space around the small floating land.
All the stars glimmering in the sky , and quite a few shooting could even make out ships flying by in the distance , probably heartless.
It was a different kind of beauty than when she looked outside while she was on the weird planet hopping train.
But beautiful nonetheless.
"so...I wanted to ask you how your holding up , with everything that happens I mean , lose your home and turning into a heartless is a pretty big deal and I don't think Yen Sid's the heart to heart type...uhm...heart to no heart type" Yuffie nodded to herself while lying down on the grass to stargaze.
She looked kinda sad , as if she was remembering something horrible.
"I don't really know , Im kinda annoyed but that's about all , I cant feel like I use to and that's probably a blessing. The me from before would have been a hysterical mess." Ruby looked kinda pained from talking about this , but it was more of a , I spilled my coffee , the 'I lost my world to darkness' pain it should be.
"Wait seriously , you don't feel anything? , Yuffie seemed perplexed , with a hint of disgust hidden in her face.
"No, I can feel emotions , but I can't reaaly feel . I can be happy or angry , but I don't think I can love , or 's kinda weird like that."
"your right , that might be a blessing now , I lost my world once too , It was horrible , by the time we got it back everything was in ruins.
Were in the process of restoring it , but it's gonna take a long time." Se was now sitting up , gazing sadly at her lap.
"Say , do you think my world can still be restored?" , Ruby felt that if she can bring it back then se should.
"Sure , some worlds can be saved , come back like nothing ever happened...or like with us where the darkness lingered too long.
YOu'll get some of it back , but not all".After Yuffie explained this , they just continued to lay there , eventually passing out.
The days passed quickly from there , Ruby spending a lot of time with Yuffie , training or hanging.
She was still annoyed by her but decided to call her a friend anyway , she had her moments.
Yen Sid came by every once and a while to test her control over her mana.
Finally after a few weeks he decided she can learn her first .
She was currently standing across from a row off unlit torches , the process to cast the spell was explained to her that morning.
Since then she has been trying to get it , but it's only ever embers and sparks.
Yens Sid and Yuffy were off to the side , Yuffie chatting Yen Sid's ear off as they watched.
He ignored her , or responded with nods and totally counts as ignoring.
Grunting as she got ready , she lifted her staff once more and yelled "Fire!".But again only tiny sparks and embers appeared.
Frustrated by the boring and repetitive task , she plopped down on the floor and crossed her arms , staff laying beside her.
Yen Sid sighted before once more explain explaining the missing crucial element in her spell.
"As I have told you before , when one wishes to cast fire , one must remember how fire feels.
You must try and channel the heat from your memories into your staff , only then shall you succeed."
"Im TRYING! but dammit all , I only have a vague recollection of what heat feels like , and its not like I can feel the difference anymore!"
Well she could...but not drastically enough to be of note, It would probably just hurt , the one sense that doesn't seem dulled.
AS for remembering what heat felt like , she was imagining holding her hand above a nice fire , only the memory is dulled , she can feel it.
But even if she put her hand into the imaginary flame , the heat won't increase.
"Perhaps you are not thinking off it correctly , Imagining a flame won't do you any good , you must remember a fire that was significant enough to imprint itself into your memory Do not fret however , after you cast it the first time , you will understand enough to make do without the harshe memories."
Yen Sid had placed an encouraging hand on her shoulder , his gaze realised quickly to the fire he was referring too.
She had told him about what happened to her after all , and there's only one fire significant enough to work.
The night darkness swallowed her world , her house was crumbling , there was fire everywhere , probably caused by some short circuiting electronics.
She didn't really want to revisit this memory , it made her sad , but not enough to say no , and it was honestly the most vivid fire she can think off."
With a determined nod , she grabbed her staff and got up , Yen Sid move back to Yuffie , who seemed worried about her.
With a inhale of unneeded air , she lifted her staff into the air , with a yell of"Fire!" she pointed it forward and to her joy a flame , much larger than she expected flew from her staff , toppling all the torches she was suppose to only weird part was that the fire was green , but who cares ass long as it works right?"yes!" with an epic fist pump she turned to look at Yuffie and Yen Sid ,and her mood faltered.
Yuffie looked genuinely frightened and conflicted , and Yen Sid had a very , very dark look on his face.
One that scared her, he looked like he was holding himself back from blasting her.
She wondered for a brief minute why before realisation dawned on her , Maleficent uses green flames.
'Why do I have green flames?'
Yen Sid said nothing , just walked out with Yuffie made a move to follow when a sharp glare from Yen Sid stopped her.
She waited a while before going to her room to didn't know what to do at the moment , her only friend now seemed scared off her and Yen Sid may very well be contemplating killing her , all for something she has no control over.
She decided to go to sleep and see what tomorrow brings.
She was up early the next day , just sitting in her thought about getting some breakfast but with the new found tension in the air she decided her taste buds can was thinking more on the fire Malificent used and how similar hers could control hers without even casting fire.
Make it move that mean she didn't really cast Fire , but maybe called on a darker would make sense with her being a heartless.
'Duh , Im a dark creature , so obviously my magics gonna be dark, good magic might even hurt me when I cast it , who knows.I think they are overreacting , infact im gonna learn to cast that fire anyway'."It'll probably be really badass to have green flames flowing around me".
She nodded and summoned her staff , she tried to channel her mana the same as yesterday , but with far less.
She successfully managed to conjure a tiny green flame floating at the tip off her staff , within the broken glass ball.
She tried willing it to move , but that didn't seem to work.A knock on her door caused her concentration to vanish.
The tinu fire dying with no energy.
"come in !" Ruby looked at the door , wondering who would enter.
To her surprise it was Yuffie , she looked kinda sad. But the fear from yesterday was gone.
She did however have breakfast with her , witch made Ruby happy.
More delicious food.'I wonder if I can get fat.
"I uh .. wanted to apologize for yesterday , I kinda overreacted" , Yuffie handed over the food as she said this.
"it's just that those flames...they..Maleficent was the one who threw our world to darkness..those flames brought up some bad memories."
Ruby nodded along , it made sense when she thought about it.
"nah don't worry about it , I kinda thought it was weird how you all reacted , but I figured it had something to do with Maleficent.
it kinda dawned on me when I saw your reactions , say...have you heard from Yen Sid yet?" Ruby figured it was easier hearing from Yuffie than it would be confronting him this way she can get a warning if she had to run for her life , tho that train she came here in vanished after a while ,so she has no idea how she would leave.
"well...about that...it's also kinda why im here...to say goodbye"Yuffie avoided eye contact.
"I knew it! he's gonna kill me isn't he!" Ruby flailed before grabbing getting off her bed , ready to bolt at a moments notice "no no no! He wouldn't!" She yelled , but Ruby could have sworn she hear Yuffie mutter "not after I talked him out of it"
"Instead he decided to halt your training completely , says it's having the opposite effect to what he planned so he can't help anymore"
Yuffie walked upto Ruby , before hugging her.
"But ...what if Maleficent attacks again?" , Ruby was sure she would , or atleast find a way to get her out of this tower.
"Yen Sid is strong , hell protect you , but i've still got a world to restore , and I've been kicked out here for a lack of a better word , so I have to go.
Im sure youll be fine."With one last pat on the back Yuffie ended the hug and moved towards the door."Well see ya!Come visit when all this is over with".
"Yeah ...will do .Bi" Ruby gave a half hearted wave as Yuffie left , sure she wasn't here for very long , and she was very annoying when she wanted to be,
But she still enjoyed her company. Now she's gonna be stuck in a lonely tower with nothing to only other people she could talk to would be the fairies.
They were...nice.. but their constant arguing gets old really there's Yen Sid , making eye contact with him now would probably make her explode.
'You know what ...screw it.. i'm just gonna continue training by myself' , seemed like a good idea.
She'll be ready for her journey , because yes , she's leaving as soon as gets a grasp on these flames and her basic fighting skills.
Shell just have to be super she now realises ...she's a Sid wanted to keep her out of the wrong hands.
Even if it meant destroying her , she saw how he 's kind to those he trusts , but underneath , he has some potent hatred for darkness , specifically she gets the feeling , he's going to be projecting onto her.
The rest all wanted to use her ,to be the heartless weapon she was meant to won't let either scenario happen.
Her first step in this independant journey would be to write down all the key points of the storyline.
The try and find likely candidates to help her turn back into a human.
The days past slowly after that, spent trying to train but mostly just flailing angirly or burning Yen Sid's ,she was aware that training in open view would be obvious , but after her initial hunt for somewhere secret to realised there really was nowhere here where Yen Sid won't see her.
She is a dangerous creature afterall... Yen Sid took notice he said nothing , in fact he was going out of his way to avoid her and she had a feeling it was more for her benefit than his.
So here she was , playing with what she can vaguely recall Maleficent claiming to be Hellfire , ofcourse she really hoped that was only bluff ,otherwise Yen Sid might be onto was currently laying on the grass making a small ball of flame buzz around her like a figured out quickly enough that the smaller the flame , the easier it is to sad that this small ball was all she could make without burning something , on the bright side She also learned her own fire can't burn her.
On that note she lifted her hand and touched the small flame , moving it into her was time for another test.
She's been trying to shape the flames into shapes , more specifically off it would be awesome ,like controlling a game character.
Secondly , it really helps with her control , and finally she hopes to do this with a lot of big a flaming army of puppets if she can.
She figured if her fighting skills suck , have something else fight for 's unlikely that shell learn any other spells from Yen Sid so she had to figure something playing with her mana helped her controll alot.
"Ruby deary!" , looking up at the approaching fairy , Ruby dismissed her Knew of their history with Maleficent , 'let's not make them hate me too.'
Getting up and turning to Fuana she gave a small wave."What's up" , fuana looked momentarily startled by the again that is not how one should greet their herself Fuana said,"Yen Sid had an idea deary , he wants us good fairies to use our magic on thinks that might make your light stronger."
To Ruby this sounded like he was grasping at straws , but so was nodded and followed the fairy towards their room.
On the way there she thought about her would she have the same power as Maleficent, if she had to guess its because they both were creatures of darkness ,with only the barest glimmer of light in their again...those little red heartless had normal flames , and they were beings of pure maybe the fact that they have light at all was what made the flames 's more that she is not pure , her flame is tainted by light oddly enough.
Course she could also be overthinking things.
She was broken from her silent walk with Fuana when they reached the door , She sighted and opened it , walking to the middle of the room.
Just what she needed , Flora had a distrustful expression on her face and Merryweather was all but glaring at her.
She really hadn't had much contact with them before the flame incident , but she liked to hope they'd remember that she actively saved them from Maleficent...or at least distracted her.
"Ready deary?"Fuana finally breaks the awkward silence , When she nodded Fuana rounded on the other two ,"now ,now ladies , stop with the glares.
We have to help the poor dear , c'mon hop too" ,She made a small clapping motion before taking her place , Flora gave a sigh before offering Ruby a weary smile and fluttering to her place."But I don't wanna" ,Was the blue fairies a huff she crossed her arms and looked away.
"Merryweather!" the other two shouted , she grumbled and took her place.
"on three ladies" , twirling their wands as they counted , a ball of light formed on each want, "one!" ,"two" ,"three!" .Simultaneously the shot the light at braced herself , but it didn't magic was for the light to join the light already present inside her, not to destroy the darkness.
When the spell faded , Ruby felt it...she felt a longing to hug her was faint but there , with that thought she also felt a smidgen of true sadness at the loss of her world."iii...it...worked...It actually worked!...at least a little bit." , Ruby did a jump , barely feeling the sensation of true happiness.
'IIIIIII...dddOoooonnnnnTtt...LliiiiiiiKkeee...Ttthhhiiizz'
Ruby was momentarily startled by what she thought she heard ,but a surprise hug from Fuana snapped her out of it.
"Oh happy day!" , even the other two had small smiles on their faces. "It's been a long day why don't we get all get some rest" ,this was Flora's suggestion.
The simultaneous yawn from all three fairies cemented the idea.
Ruby bid them goodnight and made her way over to her room , falling into bed and cuddling up among the blankets.
"Soon I'll be back to normal , tomorrow the fairies will just have to cast that magic again and again till im fixed.
With that she willed herself to sleep , eager for the next day for the first time in a long time.
"HHUu...nanG rrYy"
