Eon taking the lead taking strides towards building below them; Lightning annoyed with the pace was already close to the mansion. Vanille was taking her time walking and talking to the enigma that is Eon. Everything about him perplexed her he wasn't like Hope or Snow. He was quiet, shy but was willing to put his life on the line to protect someone he didn't even know, but ever question she asked ended up in more questions.
"What are your parents like?" She asked a cheerfulness to her voice was showing through her questions
"I don't know the only person I was around for most of my life was Ari and her boyfriend anything else was and still is a mystery. But I don't mind it my past can stay the past for all I care the present is more important." Eon hand a glint of composure in his voice
"But- Aren't you the slightest bit curious?" She felt bad for egging on but wanted to know.
"If my parents cared or even knew I existed they'd still be around" Eon said simply looking at the pinkette. His crimson eye shining brighter in the ray of the sun made her gaze deeper at the rarity of his eye color it reminded her of something she couldn't quite place her finger on but let it slide.
"C'mon, hopefully will get through this as soon as possible and get some answers" Lighting said briskly as if she wasn't already in a hurry. Walking in - they quickly noticed the lack of well-lit rooms just from the entrance Light was about to walk ahead but Eon stopped her.
"Best we stick together in here." He said softly she was going to protest but she looked over to Vanille, saw her worry, and dropped it.
"Fine, we stick together through this, but take your own advice and stick with us – no heroics"
"Can't promise that" He smirked
"Don't worry, I'll be doing all the heroics, lucks on my side" Fang chuckled
Deciding on which room to enter was a simple decision the only room that was even lit was the room in front of them, stalking towards it without a care in the world Eon was plagued with something the closer he got.
"You have to carry on- the world needs you I need you, protect her"
"What the-"
"You have to fix the time paradoxes; you yourself must save the world and protect my sister"
"As….if I have time for these thoughts!" Eon shouted to none other than himself
He kicked the door in only to have a feeling of Déjà vu a young man with brown hair and blue eyes was staring back at him. Weapons at the ready, he was about to jump back into the hall behind him but the girls of his group rushed in and the door slammed shut.
"You…I've seen you before." Eon got into battle stance
"Funny…you and I have never met" The brunette said charging forward
"I could say the same!" Eon rushed him blades connecting with each other as they did he felt another wave of memories.
"Your sister entrusted me with you to make sure you get to her in Valhalla will you come with me Serah?"
"How.." Eon started
"What giving up already?"
"This has to be an illusion" Eon shook his head as he attacked again. Every time the blades meteach other, he felt more and more memories flow into himself.
"Just, what am I and…who is this guy!?"
"You don't get it do you?" The young man said softly
"Not in the slightest…" Eon wanted to lunge at him again but held his ground
"This whole place – This whole world is a paradox. You must've felt it, every time you got close to me you felt my memories.
"Do you expect me to believe that!?" Eon shouted as he rushed the man again attacking with full on rage
"All that has to be done is to kill you and this paradox will end!" The man said
"Who the hell are you to decide who lives and dies!?" Eon shouted
"I'm Noel, and as far as I'm concerned, when it comes to a time paradox this is justified."
"Like hell I'll just stand by and let you kill me, I have to protect Vanille and Fang!" He turned around the only one left around him at all was Vanille
"Where are-"Noel's blade came crashing against Eon's
"You aren't here to help all you're causing them is more slumber it's time you vanish so they can return!" Eon's eyes flared
"I'm going to be the one to get them back – NOT YOU!" Eon shouted as the power from before came borrowing forth.
"That power- you're the-"He stopped himself as he threw his short sword at Eon all time froze as everything went black. Vanille was in front of the raven-haired man. Her face he couldn't even see, but her body was pale.
"Vanille you-"
"-I told you, I'd protect you too. Even…Even if he is a paradox he's what kept me from losing my mind you've killed him over and over but this time I'm going to save him from you!" Vanille shouted her body limped to the floor.
"Vanille…" He whispered
"He has to die if he doesn't you won't be able to-"
"I don't care! I've been trapped here for month's even years one more day will make no difference!" Vanille shouted
"I'll protect him as he's done for me will all escape the three of us – together!" Vanille said softly
"Just…what am I?" Eon asked softly
The room faded and everything started to crumble away but Noel stood there staring at the raven-haired man
"Seems the paradox is shifting, you have one shot to destroy it" Noel shouted
"And just to make sure you do, I'll be coming with you" Noel's eyes flared
"The world will reset, but I'll make sure to end this for her sake!" Eon shouted with finality as the world faded to black.
