"Hello is anyone there? Hello", a voice called out from the dark. "
You shouldn't be hear", another voice called back to the first one.
"Where am I" the first voice called out.
"You're trespassing" the second one said calm but stern.
"Who are you", the first voice asked.
"I'm Ienzo and you are in my heart and by that regard in my nobody", retorted Ienzo.
"I don't understand", Responded the first voice.
"Since you're hear you might as well tell me who you are since you've trespassed into my heart", inquired Ienzo.
"I'm Tak and I still don't know what you're talking about. I didn't mean to trespass. how do I get out", tak responded to Ienzo.
Ienzo remained silent. Tak was unsure of what was going on. He apologized over again but Ienzo didn't seem to respond. Tak grew concerned until Ienzo finally returned his response.
"I believe you Tak, but now that begs the question how did you get here and why", Ienzo questioned.
Tak just told him he doesn't know anything and wants to get back. Ienzo thought more on their situation and made a point that Tak got though to Zexion a few times. Tak asked who Zexion was and Ienzo explained that Zexion is his nobody. Tak was still confused but heard Ienzo out.
"You see where I'm from if you lose your heart you are split into a heartless and Nobody. Depending on how strong your hearts is determines the form they take." he esplained.
Tak was lost more than he was before. Ienzo huffed and realized they didn't just come from different worlds, they came from two very different realms. they both talked and came to know each other for the time being and thought maybe the nobody they lay dormant in would figure things out. But something was off to Ienzo. "Whats more off to you then what's going on", Tak asked.
"The fact is the emotion Zexion has been displaying along with the other two nobodies it nearly impossible with out a heart", Ienzo observed.
"Tak could your heart be in place of mine? No then I wouldn't be here. Maybe your heart is like the same principle as say a phantom limb", Ienzo rambled on.
Tak was now tuning Ienzo out, not to be rude but to be less confused then he already was. However this was not the only subconscious talking to it's self this night. Inside Vexen his somebody was in the same state. Even called out to the intruding soul that existed with him.
"Oh my I'm terribly sorry. I'm not sure where I am and it's very dark", the intruder said concerned.
Even demanded the voice identify its self.
"I am Jabolba the great shaman of the Pupununu people", he told Even.
Even snorted at the name. Jabolba asked what Even was amused by. Even assured Jabloba it was nothing. Their conversation was similar to Ienzo and Tak's but Even was more coherent with the elder shaman.
"It seems to me that your heart is both in Vexen and is not. Maybe I should call this affect Shrodinger's heart... no that's too much",
Even thought on what to call this phenomenon when Jabloba piped up.
"I may be but an old shaman of a backwards tribe but I think a better name could be, the phantom heart effect", he said with gusto.
Even chimed at the idea and agreed with the shaman. the last pair to speak were in the subconscious of Lexeaus. Alesue barked at the unknown presence to identify it's self. a shaky voice that sounded like it was going to cry sheepishly retorted
" I-I'm Lok, and where's the light it's too dark in here."
Aleuse scoffed,"light? you're spirit is dormant think of it as you're sleeping and you aren't allowed to wake up."
Lok now was in a panic. Aleuse did what he could to clam Lok down. realizing that the person he was dealing with was an idiot he didn't bother pressing the new spirit with anything to taxing. Most of their conversation was Aleuse comforting Lok and assuring him that things would be ok. Even though he himself didn't know. Morning came and the four woke. The three nobodies looked at one another. Each talked about the spirit that slept with their somebodies and the conversation each of their somebodies had with the foreign spirits. Both Vexen and Zexion felt bad for Lexeaus when it came to Lok. Vexen remarked that Lok sounded like a putts.
The juju slept soundly as the three wondered how to move on. Zexion looked up at Lexeaus then back at the juju.
"It would be a shame to wake him. you good sticking with the bone bag. He'll need someone big and strong to protect him on this mission", he said looking at the juju then back at his friend.
Lexeaus gave a chuckle,"Is that you talking or is that Tak's heart."
Lexeaus teased Zexion about his decision. Zexion huffed and shook off the tease by stretching. He then nodded to Vexen who took his place once more on Zexion's shoulders as the arctic fox. Before Zexion went to take a step onto the yellow bricked roadway he turned around one last time to see his friend sit back down next to the juju to wait for him to wake. As he turned to move on he couldn't help the tear that fell down his cheek. Vexen felt his pain but insisted that he did the right thing.
"As long as Tak, Jabolba, and Lok's hearts are intertwined we well meet with them again", comforted Vexen.
With that Zexion walked on clutching his hand to his chest as he bowed his head and said,"Don't worry Tak I'm not just gonna save the dream princess. I'm gonna find out what happened to all of us and get you and your friends back."
