The Winds of Change
At the same time, Nadia was running from pillar to rocky pillar on Sunset Horizons. She jumped valiantly, swiftly and assured that her goal would be achieved: to find the heart of the world and unlock it. She fought through dozens upon dozens of Viraltroopers and with luck. She also searched and searched for hours and decided to take a short break. She relaxed and then looked at the sky and thought, 'Oh Alan what do I do now? I'm at a total loss. I haven't had any luck and I still can't find this Heart of the World at all. What you do if you were me?' She then tripped over her own keyblade in frustration and then grumbled, "Ow…man this is just great. I'm hungry, sweating from all this heat, trip over my own keyblade, what's next? A boulder will collapse on my head and…" Then she saw a humongous valley that stretched for miles on this large desert and then smiled as she thought, 'That works too I suppose.' She rushed down its rocky, and barren landscape fighting off more and more Viraltroopers that lurked in every corner and under every rock in search of her target. Then she found a humongous white, sticky spider web. It stretched far into the large red, narrow canyon of Sunset Horizons and was over 200 feet wide.
Yet looking down on an unsuspecting Nadia as she held out her keyblade and walked ever so silently into the den of the beast was the black widow Viraltrooper just stringing down its monstrous bulk towards an unsuspecting girl and before she could even react she saw the beast and screamed. Then there was a slash. The black widow collapsed on the ground injured and weak. Nadia then looked up to see who her savior was and it wasn't Alan. In front of her, was a man in silver armour with his rapier by his side. Nadia began to tremble as she asked, "Tyrannil? But how…" and as she collapsed herself on the ground scared in shock Tyrannil then knelt down, put her head on a soft rock and said, "It's okay my dear. Drink up, this'll make you feel a whole lot better." He handed her a red bowl of green liquid to her and she slowly drunk it, despising its bitter taste. She then asked, "Yuck, what is that stuff? It tastes like dirty garbage." "That is an ancient homemade remedy my dear. It's called liverroot surprise. It heals the body of shock, depression in the mind, calms the nerves and makes for great gravy believe it or not on steaks from the planet of Aragon."
Nadia slowly recovered as hours passed by and then she asked, "So Tyrannil, how did you survive the curse Obeion put on your spellbook. We both heard you say it yourself that a virus infected you and was taking your life away." Tyrannil then said as Nadia had swung her keyblade back and forth to get her hand grip back, "Alan believe it or not did so. When he unlocked the last of the Doors of the Heart, he created a single heart greater than anything this universe has ever seen. It is magnificent in its own splendor and radiance. It even killed the virus that was going to kill me. Then I rushed back as fast as I could to meet with you. From the looks of it I came just in time." Nadia then said turning pale, "Tyrannil…it's back." The tall knight turned around and saw it was that same black widow from before and he said, "Now listen carefully Nadia. I'll distract the beast while you go and unlock the heart inside the canyon." "But I thought that the spider had the heart of the world inside it.", Nadia explained. Tyrannil clashed with the beast's fangs as he said, "The spider nest has the heart of the world. If you destroy the nest, you can unlock the heart of the world. Got it?" Nadia nodded and then she asked, "What about you then?" "I'll be fine. I'm going to make up for my brethren's mistakes and aid you in your quest. Now go quickly!!" Nadia then nodded and headed inside the giant canyon/spider web filled chasms and found over thousands upon thousands of these giant golfball sized eggs and then thought grumbling in panic, 'This is not my day…Okay now, if I were a giant heart of a dead desert, where would I be?'
Then as she asked this simple question, her keyblade began to glow brightly, and she soon found what she was looking for just as Tyrannil got blown inside the canyon and the giant black widow roared as it charged towards Nadia to protect its eggs. Nadia then quickly struck the beast as it stood over Tyrannil, about to devour him and she sliced the monster in half with ease and then turned her sights upon the Heart of the World. She zapped the patch of eggs at the center of the canyon and soon a giant red heart appeared and floated into the sky quickly and swiftly. Nadia begun climbing and climbing higher and higher until she realized that she could also float in the air as well saying, "Weeeeee!! I have to tell Alan this. He'll go nuts over this." Then getting herself refocused on her mission, she then zapped the heart of the world and unlocked it. Not only was that happening, but as it did, every single Viraltrooper remaining on the world also disappeared and vanished without a trace from the world as well. Mere moments later, Tyrannil climbed up to the top of the cliffs of the giant canyon he dubbed 'No Man's Curve', he met Nadia once more and said gazing at her golden armour over her pink dress saying while lying down to conserve his energy, "So…the 'Love Shield' never ceases to amaze me. I must say it is a magnificent. I wish I could say the same for me. I'm afraid I used too much of my own power to fight off that spider."
Nadia then knelt down and grabbed Tyrannil's bowl and then said, "It may be a long shot, but I got to find some water. It'll do you some good trust me." As she said this, Alan finally arrived from the Abyss as Nadia stared at the brunette youth and smiled. She then ran to him and hugged him tightly as he said, "Good to see you too Nadia." Then as Tyrannil coughed a tiny bit she said, "Oh…Alan listen. I need to find some water fast. It's Tyrannil. I think he's very sick, we gotta do something or…he may not make it." Tyrannil then summoned a black portal and said, "Take me to Castle Darkhand. We can come back here anytime we need. Right now though we need to plan our next actions wisely. Obeion is bound to come out of hiding at some point." Alan then rushed to Tyrannil breaking Nadia's embrace and asked, "Hiding?" "I'll explain when we're in Castle Darkhand, now let's go!!" Then as he said this, Alan picked up the injured former 'Knight of the Realm' and Both Alan and Nadia left for Castle Darkhand as Sunset Horizons was left in peace for now. Yet unbeknownst to them, just a little over two hundred yards from their location, Obeion watched from his position, in a heavy suit of armour with his white hands and bald white face to stand out. He thought as he stared out with his green evil eyes thinking, 'Go ahead and bide your time children. I'll be waiting here when you return.' Then a dust storm began to gather as Obeion was completely covered in sand and mist staring towards a sunny blue sky in anger and bitter disgust.
(Very creepy. Obeion as has been said is not one of the nicest villains there is, but then again who is? Nadia's keyblading has shown to have improved as has Alan's which I was showing that could be a possible indicator of Master Xehanort's power as well. It would make sense that he would be powerful the way he is since he has had like what maybe a forty year head start on Terra, Aqua and Ven with his skills. I have also read somewhere that the keyblade's abilities in theory are based off its wielder alone too which is why I am saying this, but it it's all speculative for now. More to come as the story progresses, so stay tuned.)
