Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts in any way.
All of the nobodies had been summoned in The Round room. The place was a bustle with chatter, why had they been ordered to gather at such short notice?
A moment later the Superior appeared in a flash.
"I have an important announcement." His voice boomed over the din, quieting someone of the more chatty nobodies. "I have discovered a world, one in which contains a portal to another world, one unlike any other we have seen. It also has objects of extreme value to our cause."
"What world is it?" Roxas asked, a hint of excitement in his tone of voice.
"They call it Narnia. However, to get there we must travel to London."
"Not Neverland again." Luxord groaned under his breath.
Xemnas continued, "We must send some members out to find these objects and locate the portal to this new land. I have received word that there is going to be a ball held in London, at the very location where the portal is. We must pair up into teams and seek it out. I will be sending XI and XII, XIII and the memory witch, in case we need to erase anyone's memory, V and VI as dancing partners. They will act as our reconnaissance team. Then, myself, VII, and VIII will be there to secure the portal. We will depart in two days, be ready by then. You are all dismissed."
All of the nobodies teleported away. Zexion, however, leaned back in her seat and pondered over her new mission. "Narnia…" She whispered, she liked the sound of that name.
Two Days Later:
Zexion was sitting in her room, books hewn about and a pale light lingering through the small window. It was becoming lighter every day now, in the "World-that Never-Was", this was a strange anomaly, though, Zexion had no time to think of such trivial things. She had to prepare for her recon mission. She sighed knowing the reason she was chosen was not only for her stealth, but for her new gender.
A soft knock came from the door and Zexion called to the person on the other side. Lexaeus entered dressed in a crisp-looking suit.
"Lexaeus, what are you doing here?" She said softly.
"I came by to well…." The Silent Hero faltered.
Zexion stood up and faced Lexeaus. She was clothed in a beautiful lavender dress, with small, blue, aurora borealis crystals gleaming on the sides. The top was corseted tightly and laced in the back, from there the fabric billowed out, floating along her hips and coming down to the floor.
Zexion smiled warmly at him. Lexeaus's jaw dropped, no words he could come up with would ever be enough to do justice to her beauty.
Zexion walked over to him and placed a small flower in his breast pocket.
"You look…stunning." He whispered, boldly taking her hand in his.
Then, it was as if an electric shock buzzed from hand to hand. The two nobodies froze for a moment, this feeling that was overcoming them was so foreign and strange.
Zexion could barely breath as she looked into the eyes of her longtime friend and protector. Neither could deny that they both felt a warm energy coursing between one another. They gazed at each other for what felt like hours looking into the pools of one another's souls. Just when Zexion could no longer stand it Lexeaus broke the tension, "I..I.. have something for you." The towering hero rushed behind the door and reappeared with a small square box.
If Zexion had a heart at this moment it would have been hammering like a jack rabbit. What was going on between them? But, she managed to take a calming deep breath and regained her composure. "What is it?" She said a little more breathily than she had wished to.
"Here," He said handing her the box. Inside, was the most delicate string of diamonds holding together one small jewel in the center that was a stormy dark blue.
Zexion was stunned into silence. No one had ever given her something like this before.
"I really don't know what to say. Please tell me you did not buy this for me!"
"No," Lexeaus laughed in that easy way he could with people he was close to. "Even better, I made it for you."
"Made it?" Zexion blinked, as he gently put the necklace around her neck.
"Yes, don't tell you forgot that my element was earth." He chuckled, clicking the back clasp into place.
"But.." She fumbled, "This must have taken you hours to create!"
"It may have, but it was all worth it. See it suits you." Lexeaus gestured to the mirror. Zexion turned around slowly and saw how perfectly the simple piece of jewelry fit all the contours and curves of her neck. She could tell he took much consideration in making this.
Then, she looked more carefully at her self and realized something. She was frightened. Frightened over the fact that she could have this much influence over people with out the use of a spell or lexicon. Frightened of what she might be becoming or what she had the potential to be. Perhaps, the last bit was the part she was most concerned about.
"Zexion?" Lexeaus questioned, breaking Zexion's wandering train of thought.
"Thank you" She said turning around to look at him. Zexion flashed a broad smile at Lexeaus, "Well, I guess we should be going."
"After you my lady." Lexeaus said in mocking the kind of voice a knight in shinning armor might have.
Zexion walked out the door, silver heeled shoes clacking, deciding to leave all of her fears and reservations behind just for tonight.
The pair left the room laughing with promise of much excitement for next hours to come.
