"You know what," Vanitas said to Emika. "You are one annoying little bitch."
"Thanks, I'm glad you feel that way," Emika smiled.
"I hate you so fucking much."
"Wow, really? I had no idea. Thanks so much for the info captain obvious," Emika rolled her eyes.
"I'm going to enjoy this," Vanitas said, summoning up a group of Unversed. "Oh, I'm going to enjoy this very much." With a snap of the boy's fingers, the Unversed departed into the castle.
Aqua growled and turned to Emika. "You can take care of him alone, right?" she asked.
Emika nodded, "You go on and help the new cadets. This shouldn't take any longer than a few minutes at the most."
Aqua smiled slightly and took off into the castle's courtyard.
"A little too overconfident, are we?" Vanitas smirked.
"Who's being overconfident?" Emika grinned. "I meant every word I said with every fiber of my very being. Now let's get this over with."
"You won't be keeping that up for long," Vanitas growled, summoning his Keyblade.
"Oh?" Emika tilted her head slightly. "I wonder about that."
"Shut up," the boy said, lunging for the young girl.
…...
"Hey, look out!" Zack yelled as he dove to the ground. Over his head, the Unversed were beginning to swarm around the training field. The boy looked ahead and saw the younger blonde cadet trying to fight off the monsters. Zack yelled for the blonde one last time, but he was too late. An Unversed was on top of the blonde cadet in a second.
Zack struggled to stand, which he finally managed somehow. He soon ran over and slashed at a few Unversed with his sword. More Unversed quickly formed around him, and more of them began to pile on top of the younger cadet.
"Damnit," Zack mumbled as he continued to try his best to fight off the Unversed. "Cloud," he yelled to the cadet. "Cloud, you better stay alive." Shit, Zack thought, there's too many. What should I do?
An Unversed was about to strike Zack, but it was suddenly blocked by a Keyblade that was thrown across the training field. The boy looked up and saw Aqua running his way.
Zack sighed in relief as he managed to free Cloud from the Unversed with the help of Aqua.
Aqua stood in front of the two teens, looking down at them she said, "You two stay back. I'll take care of these Unverseds."
"Let me help you, Aqua," Zack said.
"No," Aqua said sternly, "you take care of Strife, and I'll take care of the Unversed, got it?"
Zack frowned but soon nodded, picking up Cloud in his arms and running away from the fight.
Aqua smiled as she turned back to the Unversed that stood before her. "Now that my distraction is out of the way," she said, summoning her Keyblade. "Let's clean up the training field."
…...
"Hello there, Terra," Xahanort grinned.
"Xahanort," Terra said, pulling Ventus behind him. "What are you doing here?"
"I came here to take my last pure light, and I see you have him all ready for me," the man said, peering over at the blonde.
Terra moved closer to Ven and put a hand on the boy's arm. "I won't let you anywhere near him."
Xahanort chuckled. "You really have no choice, my boy. All of my Unversed are taking over your Master's castle as we speak."
Terra growled, "The others will take them down."
"Considering that Aqua and Emika were beaten and dragged away from their battle, leaving hundreds of soldiers behind. Now the only ones you have here are a few cadets and a couple of injured generals."
"You'd be surprised what everyone here can do."
"Well," Xahanort said, "I would love to talk to you more, but I should get going. Now please hand over my pure light, Terra."
"I already told you," Terra said, "I won't let you have him."
"Don't tell me you're this boy's Guardian."
"No, I'm not, but I'm going to protect him even if I have to die."
"Terra," Ven whispered, grabbing Terra's hand. "Terra, don't."
"Be quiet, Ven," Terra said.
"Ven," Xahanort said, which sent chills down the boy's spine. "Is Ven short for something?"
Ven stayed silent.
"Speak, boy," Xahanort growled.
Ven felt himself shake violently. "I-it's Ve-Ventus."
"Ventus, such a nice name," Xahanort smiled. "Will you come with me, Ventus?"
Ven began to shake more until he felt someone squeeze his hand. The boy looked up to meet Terra's eyes. "Terra?" Ven said.
"I won't let him take you anywhere," Terra said, reassuringly. The brunette looked back to Xahanort, summoning his Keyblade. "You have to go through me first if you want to get to Ven, Xahanort."
Xahanort just smiled, holding up a gloved hand. "I think we should make things more interesting than just us fighting, Terra."
The man snapped his fingers and there was a sudden explosion, causing smoke to roll out above the three males. Two shapes then emerged from the smoke, slowly forming into Vanitas and Emika fighting in the air. The two landed in the middle of Terra, Ven, and Xahanort.
"I'm taking you and your Unversed out once and for all," Emika growled.
"Over my dead body," Vanitas growled back.
"Oddly enough that can be arranged," Emika smirked.
Even through all the commotion, Terra found himself rolling his eyes at the young girl.
The two fighters soon realized where they were. Vanitas turned to Xahanort. "Master," the boy said, "what's going on?"
Emika turned to Terra. "I thought I told you to get out of here," she glared.
"We were about to leave when we ran into him," Terra said, cocking his head towards Xahanort.
"It's been awhile, Emika," Xahanort said.
"Old man Xahanort," Emika said, putting her hands on her hips. "What exactly are you doing here?"
Xahanort sighed, "I hate repeating myself. Vanitas," he said.
Vanitas turned, "What is it, Master Xahanort?"
Master Xahanort? Ven thought. This kid is an apprentice of this man? This can't be good.
"I need you to take care of these two here, so we can get going with the last pure light," Xahanort said.
"That's just what I wanted to hear," Vanitas said.
"Get ready to run, Terra," Emika said, getting her stance ready.
"What are you talking about, you idiot?" Terra said. Emika turned to face him. "I'm staying here to fight too," he said. "Besides, Aqua would kill me if I left you behind."
"Then what will you do about Ventus?"
Terra gripped Ven's hand. "I'll protect him with my life."
Emika smiled, turning back to Xahanort and Vanitas. "Fine, then you do what you want."
"Hey," Vanitas said which made everyone's attention on him. Vanitas smirked, "Don't you two die on me too fast."
"Be more worried about yourself, you brat," Terra said.
"For once I agree with you, Terra," Emika smiled.
Terra rolled his eyes again.
Vanitas quickly launched into an attack, catching both Terra and Emika off guard. The boy kicked Emika in the stomach, which sent her flying into a wall. Vanitas came up to Terra, but the brunette blocked his attack, keeping Ventus behind him.
Shit, Terra thought. I need to get Ven away from here and fast, but how?
Suddenly Vanitas took an opening with Terra and slash the brunette on the cheek with his Keyblade. The young boy smirked and licked the blood that began to drip off the Keyblade. "You might want to stay sharp, Terra," Vanitas said. "If you don't, you might just end up dead."
Terra growled, pulling back farther into the battlefield. The teen looked around and cursed to himself. Everywhere he looked, he saw Unversed beginning to form around all exists. This doesn't look good, Terra thought.
Xahanort chuckled, which caught Terra's attention. "What to do, what to do, Terra?" Xahanort said, mockingly. "You have nowhere to run. Why don't you save your own life along with Emika's by handing over the pure light to me?"
"You can forget it, Xahanort," Terra said.
"Wait, Terra," Ven said, making everyone look at the boy. Ventus took a deep breath, letting go of Terra, he began to walk towards Xahanort.
"Ven, what are you doing?" Terra exclaimed.
"I don't want this, Terra," Ven said. "I don't want you, Emika, and Aqua to risk your lives just to save me."
"You idiot," Terra mumbled.
"What?"
"I said you're an idiot, Ven!" Terra growled at the boy, which made Ven jump. "I thought you said we were friends!"
Ventus nodded.
"Then as your friend, I'll protect you no matter what," Terra said.
"Sounds more like a Guardian to me, Terra," Emika grunted, emerging from the ruble. She made her way over to Ventus and placed herself next to him. "You better think before you act, Ven," she whispered.
Ven was about to say something but then Xahanort spoke.
"You couldn't let him decide what he wanted, could you, Terra and Emika," Xahanort said.
Emika shrugged, "I never realized we had to take advice from you of all people, Xahanort."
"Then you leave me with little choice," Xahanort sighed as he stretched out his arm, summoning up his very own Keyblade.
Terra stiffened and moved quickly next to Ventus, pulling on the boy's arm to bring him closer.
Vanitas smirked and began to stand by his master.
"I'll just take you out here and now by my own hands," Xahanort said, lifting his Keyblade, pointing it towards the three.
"I don't think so," someone said, jumping in front of the group.
Everyone turned and saw Aqua with Eraqus next to her. Emika smiled, "It's about time you show up, old man."
Eraqus chuckled, "Sorry I wasn't here sooner." He then frowned as his eyes laid on Xahanort. "Xahanort," Eraqus said, "it's been a long time."
"Not long enough I suppose," Xahanort said.
"It would seem so. I see you've come for Ventus here. I'm sorry to saw that you will not be taking him today."
Xahanort was silent.
"Look around you, Xahanort," Aqua said. "You're outnumbered and all your Unversed are gone."
"What?" Terra said as he turned and saw that all the Unversed that were blocking the exists were gone.
"What will you do now, Xahanort?" Eraqus asked.
Xahanort sighed, conjuring his Keyblade back. "I guess I have no choice but to retreat, huh?"
Eraqus nodded, "It looks like it."
"Alright, but don't forget, I've taken care of all the other pure lights. This boy here, Ventus, will soon be in my possession, and you will all fall," Xahanort said.
"I won't let that happen," Terra out spoke. "I said I was going to protect Ven, and that's what I plan to do."
Xahanort smiled, "I do hope you know what you're getting yourself into, young Terra."
The two starred at each other in silence for a long time until Terra finally said, "I do."
"Then I look forward to seeing you again. Come, Vanitas."
"Yes, Master Xahanort," Vanitas said as he followed his master into a dark portal that the older man had conjured up. The boy turned back and made eye contact with Ventus, who shivered at the cruel smile Vanitas gave him before disappearing.
...
"Ouch!" Zack yelped. "That hurts you know, Emika."
Emika huffed, "Shut up and take it like a man, Zack."
"That would be easier if you were gentle like a girl sho-never mind," Zack said, realizing the face Emika gave him. "So, um, where's Cloud at?" he asked, trying to change the subject.
"Aqua's taking care of him, so you don't need to worry. You were lucky she was around when you and Cloud were attacked."
Zack nodded, "No kidding, but how's Ven doing?"
"You met Ven?" Emika asked.
Zack nodded, "Yeah, I met him not too long before the Unversed attack us. Terra said he was special, could you lighten it a little more?"
"Sorry, but it's not my place to speak. But I do know that Ven is okay; it's just that he might be a little shaken up is all."
"I see."
"I just hope Terra's taking good care of him," Emika sighed.
...
"Hey, Terra?" Ven said softly.
"Hmm?" Terra mumbled.
"I, well, I just," Ventus fell silent again.
The two had sat in silence for a long time after the fight with Xahanort. Terra had taken Ven into a room where they could relax while the others had business to attend to. Eraqus told Terra he wanted to talk to him about something, but he wanted Terra to watch Ventus for the time being.
Ven looked over at Terra, who had his eyes close, leaning with his back on the couch, his hands behind his head. The boy watched the brunette's chest rise and fall. Ven shook his head and got up from where he sat and began to walk towards Terra still body.
Slowly Ven placed his hand on Terra's cheek. The brunette opened his eyes and starred into the boy's sad expressed orbs.
"What's wrong?" Terra asked, sitting up.
"Your cheek," Ven said, "it's wounded."
Terra placed his hand on his cheek and brought it back, seeing blood covering his hand. "It's only a scratch."
Ven shook his head, "No, it needs to be treated so it won't be infected. Hold on a second," the boy said as he got up and walked over to a drawer, pulling out a few bandages and other medical supplies.
"How did you know those were there?" Terra asked.
"Aqua told me before I went with you," Ven said.
Terra smiled and laughed softly.
Ven cocked his head to the side in confusion, "What's so funny?"
"It's just that that sounds like something Aqua would do," Terra said, keeping his eyes closing. He heard Ventus making his way slowly over to his side. Terra sighed and opened his eyes to see Ven sitting on the floor next to the couch that Terra was lying on.
"Stay still for a second," Ven said before Terra could speak.
"Fine," Terra said, relaxing a bit more.
Ven dipped the cloth into the rubbing alcohol bottle until he was sure it had enough seeped into it. The boy turned to Terra and gently pressed the cloth on the scratch placed on the brunette's right cheek.
"Does it hurt you?" Ven asked, watching as Terra made no movement or any flinching.
"Not at all," Terra said.
"Really? When I was little, my mom would always clean my cuts, and I remember hating how much it burned when she put it on. She told me, though, that I would get used to it, and that I would be stronger as I got older. I didn't believe her after she put this on me again and it still hurt," Ven giggled.
Terra opened his eyes and starred at the boy as he spoke about his mother. The teen saw Ven's face light up when he talked about her. Terra almost smiled. He seems so overjoyed talking about his family, Terra thought.
Ven looked at Terra starring at him, and the blonde realized what he was doing. "Oh, oh, I'm sorry," he said. "I guess I was rambling again. I seem to be good at that sometimes. I'll stop talking."
"No," Terra said, "go on. I can see you like talking about them. Plus, I would like to know a little more about you."
Ventus blushed slightly. "Actually, you know more about me than I do you. Maybe you could talk about your life, Terra?"
"It's boring, trust me," Terra said as Ven rub some gel to conceal the cut.
"I would like to hear it still," Ven smiled, putting the band aid on Terra's cheek. "That is, if you don't mind," he added.
Terra sighed heavily. "I was about five when I got separated from my parents. There was a fire and someone destroyed my hometown. My family was killed, but," Terra paused.
"What is it?" Ven asked, touching Terra's hand.
"My family was killed in front of me. The people who destroyed my home made me sit there and watch as they killed my mother and father. I don't really remember much about them, so I've learned to cope with the lost." Terra stopped and looked at Ven. The brunette was shocked when he saw that the boy had tears running down his cheeks.
"I'm sorry," Ven sobbed. "I had no idea you went through that. Now I feel horrible about what I said to you before."
Terra slowly felt himself reach out and cup Ven's cheek. The brunette ran his thumb over the boy's tears, whipping them away.
Ventus looked at Terra's eyes. Taking the teen's hand with his own, Ven asked, "Does it hurt, Terra?"
"I told you it doesn't hurt," Terra said, fingering his bandaged cheek.
"No," Ven said, shaking his hand head. The boy placed his hand over Terra's heart. "I mean does it hurt here, in you heart," Ven said.
Terra removed his hand from Ven's cheek, and he placed it on top of the small hand that lied on his heart. "Does it feel injured?" the brunette asked.
"It feels," Ventus paused for a few moments. He closed his eyes and leaned his head so that it was lying on Terra's firm chest.
Terra twitched, feeling Ven's soft blonde hair tickle his neck.
A few more seconds passed until Ven pulled his head back slowly. He opened his eyes, the blue orbs stained with what looked like sorrow, starring back into Terra's own eyes.
"Broken," Ven finally whispered.
"Ventus," Terra breathed.
"Your heart fells broken, Terra." Ven squeezed Terra's larger hand, shaking only slightly.
Terra sat up. I wonder if this is a power of his, he thought. A power that is able to see into the hearts of others. "Broken, huh?" Terra said, which made Ven look up at him. "I sure don't feel broken."
"But, Terra, I-" Ven began.
"Just don't worry about it, okay," Terra said sternly, making Ven back up a bit. That's right; I don't want anyone to know me. I don't want them to feel pity for what my heart truly is, Terra thought.
"Terra, what if this is something serious?" Ventus asked, letting go of Terra's hand and climbing onto the couch to sit next to the brunette.
"Why are you so interested in knowing so much only about me?" Terra smirked.
Ven flushed and squirmed a bit in his seat. "It's because you're my friend."
"You don't seem to be bothering Emika or Aqua with these ridiculous questions, right? I thought they were your friends too." Ven winced at the brunette's harsh words, and Terra averted his eyes slightly. Yes, I just need to keep pushing him away no mater how much I hurt him, Terra thought.
"You're," Ven paused, making Terra look at him again. "You seem special, Terra. I felt something from you when I saw you, but I didn't understand it. Sorry, I guess I should leave you alone. I'll go," the boy said, standing to leave.
Before Terra realized it, he grabbed Ventus's arm. Ven looked at the older teen. "Wait, Ven," Terra said. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I-well, I have a hard time letting people in."
"I can kinda tell," Ven smiled warmly.
That smile of his again, Terra thought. Maybe, just maybe, he might be the one to help me. I really wonder… "But I would like to start letting people in," Terra said as he let go of Ven's arm and kneeled before the boy on the floor.
"T-Terra?" Ven gasped.
"Please, Ventus, I ask of you. Will you allow me to become your Guardian? So I may change and be able to open my broken heart to you?"
Ven was silent due to the shock.
Terra continued, "I wish to protect you. Because to me, Ventus, you also seem special," he said as he bent down and lightly pressed his lips on Ven's hand.
"I-Terra, I-y-yes, I accept it," Ven said.
"Thank you, Ventus," Terra said, feeling something warm inside himself build up.
…...
"Emika, could you be a little gentler?" Zack asked, watching the girl patch up Cloud, who had be brought in by Aqua moments ago.
"Well, Cloud seems to be doing just fine," Emika huffed.
"Are you serious? How do you not see his cringes every time you touch him?"
"Fine, then you do it," Emika said, handing Zack the supplies.
"Thanks," Zack said as he began to wrap Cloud's injured wrist tenderly. "Does that feel better, Cloud?"
Cloud blushed, "It-it feels fine, Zack."
"But does it feel better when I do it or when Emika does?"
Cloud's blush deepened.
Zack was about to say something until Emika smacked him on the back of the head. "Oww, what the hell, Emika?"
"Sorry, my hand slipped," Emika smirked.
"The hell it did," Zack fumed.
Cloud giggled, which made Emika laugh as she walked over and sat next to Aqua on the couch.
Aqua smiled as Emika laid her head on the older woman's lap. "You seem tired," Aqua said.
Emika curled into a ball. "I am," she yawned.
Aqua chuckled and ran her hands though the girl's black hair. "You're such a little kid when you do this sometimes."
"I'm younger than you, so I think it's fine. Anyways, where do you think Terra and Ven are?"
"Hmm, I think Master Eraqus sent them in a separate room while everything calmed down. Also, to be safe if Xahanort attacks again," Aqua said, stiffing slightly.
Emika lifted herself up and looked at Aqua. "They're getting stronger," she said.
Aqua put her face in her hands. "I know," she mumbled. "It's only a matter of time until we can't fight them anymore."
"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not going down without a fight," Emika said, hugging her legs to her chest. "And as they get stronger, we will too."
"How, didn't you see what happened here today? That was all luck that you, Terra, and Ven got out of there alive. What would have happened if Master and I didn't get in there on time?"
"I'd be dead probably."
"Don't joke around like that," Aqua said, lifting her head up to look at the girl sitting next to herself.
Emika starred into Aqua's eyes with a serious face. "I wasn't kidding," Emika said. "It's too, I would be dead, but I would have died protecting my friends. To me, that's the best way to end your life. End your life by protecting the people most important to you."
"I'd rather have you not die at all," Aqua said.
"I'm alive right now, right?"
Aqua looked at the younger girl with wide eyes.
"And I don't plan I going anywhere for awhile," Emika smiled.
Quickly, Aqua pulled the girl into her arms. Hugging Emika tightly, Aqua said, "Promise me you won't do anything stupid or reckless."
"Aqua," Emika said, "stupid and reckless things are my specialty."
Aqua rolled her eyes, pulling away from the girl to look her straight in the face. "Just promise me, okay?"
"Yeah," Emika nodded, "I promise."
"Good, because you're really special to me, Emika," Aqua said, ruffling the girl's dark hair.
"I would hope so," Emika smiled. "I mean I am your friend. Plus, I'm the only other girl here, right?"
Aqua frowned but wiped it away in a second, replacing it with a smile. "You're absolutely right."
There was a loud bang and the two girls looked over and saw Zack drop all the supplies on the ground. He laughed nervously as Cloud helped him pick them up and set them into a basket.
Emika rubbed her temples.
"Headache?" Aqua asked.
Emika nodded, "I feel like it's only going to get worse too."
"Hey, Emika, Aqua," Terra said, walking up to the two with Ven right behind him.
"Speak of the devil," Emika said.
"You were talking about me?" Terra asked.
"Somewhat," Emika shrugged as Aqua coughed to the side.
"Well, I need to talk with you, Emika, think you could spare a moment of your exciting time?" Terra asked.
"Why not. Come on, we can head to the courtyard," Emika said, heading out of the room.
"Aqua," Terra said, "can you watch Ven for me?"
"Sure," Aqua nodded, "no problem."
Terra nodded and turned to Ven. "I'll be back soon, okay?" he whispered.
Ven blushed, "O-okay," he said.
"You coming or not, Terra?" Emika asked.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming," Terra said, following the girl out to the courtyard.
...
"So what is it you wanted to tell me so bad?" Emika asked.
"I just needed to tell you something private," Terra said.
"Terra, you aren't going to give me a love confessions, are you?"
Terra chocked on his spit and coughed violently. "You idiot, I'm not doing that!"
Emika laughed, "Oh calm down. I know you aren't going to. We've known each other for a long time, so I know you. Plus, I would turn you down."
"I don't know whether to be relived or insulted right now."
"Be both if you want. So, what did you want to talk to me about that's so personal?"
"I wanted to know what you think is the limit between light and darkness," Terra said.
"And why do you think I would be good at this question exactly?" Emika asked.
"Because I know that you've been close to both."
Emika starred deeply at the brunette. She leaned up against the railing of one of the gates, crossing her arms over her chest. "How long did you know?"
"Since I met you," Terra said.
"That's sad that the old man didn't even know I had the power over Darkness. Well, for your question, I think that they can be connected if done properly. Though this war isn't really helping, Light and Darkness can't live without one another. The two of them are two sides of the same coin, but why do you want to know?"
"Because I asked Ven if he would let me become his Guardian, and he said yes."
"And since you're also a user of Darkness, you're scared about what will happen, right?" Emika asked.
Terra nodded, "You found out too, huh?"
"As soon as I met you I felt the Darkness coming off of you, Terra. I guess Eraqus doesn't know."
"Yeah, I don't think he does, but what would happen if I became Ven's Guardian?"
"One of two things will happen. You either can't complete the bond because you repel one another, or it'll become the strongest bond in history."
"I hope the second happens."
"Same here. Look, Terra, I'll back you up no matter what. I can tell you care about Ven more than what you say you do. So until then, I'll help you out as well. I think you're doing the right thing," Emika added.
"Thanks," Terra said.
"So when are you having the ceremony?" Emika asked.
"Maybe in the next few days or so."
"Not soon enough," Emika grinned. "I bet we can summon up a ceremony in one day. I've seen it done before."
"Are you sure about that? I mean, can I really trust you in this situation?" Terra asked.
Emika shrugged, "You tell me." She lifted herself off the rail and began walking back to the castle.
"Wait a second, Emika," Terra said.
"Huh?" Emika turned back to face the brunette.
"How do you know so much about Light and Darkness?"
Emika smiled warmly. "I've been around for awhile, and I know a lot more than you'd think for a sixteen year old." And with that, she left without another word.
When Terra was alone, he sighed and leaned against the rail just as Emika had done.
"My, my, what a nice time it looks like you're having there, Terra," someone sneered.
Terra turned quickly and summoned his Keyblade. "What are you doing here?" he asked as the person emerged from the shadows.
Vanitas.
"I came here to congratulate you on asking little Ven if you can be his Guardian. It was cute, really. But you know what, it also made me sick to my stomach," Vanitas smirked.
"I didn't ask for your opinion," Terra growled.
"No, you didn't, but you asked Emika about hers? That was a twist. Maybe because she knows about Darkness more than you?"
"Why does it matter?"
"Actually, it matters a lot since she didn't tell you the third thing that could happen."
Terra stiffened, tightening his grip on his Keyblade.
"You want to know the third most important outcome that could occur in the ceremony?" Vanitas asked.
"How do I know you won't lie to me?"
"Because I was the one who this happened to one time."
"You tried to be a Guardian?" Terra asked.
"Yes, and sadly the little light creature didn't see it coming," Vanitas began to laugh. "Just the memory of their face makes me excited. Excited that it may in fact happen to your precious Ventus."
"What is it that happened?" Terra asked.
"Heh, the one thing that Emika didn't tell you was this: the Darkness inside you can be too strong; it may be too strong that it will completely devour Ventus and his light. You know what happens after that?"
Terra swallowed hard, staying silent.
Vanitas smiled, his yellow eyes glowing. "He dies," he said. "Your Darkness takes him over and it kills him. You will kill the one you are trying to protect, and the one that you cherish the most. Ironic, isn't it? Now, are you sure you want to continue with the Guardian ceremony."
Terra remained silent. It looks like this is more serious than I imagined, he thought coldly.
