Chapter 3 the Tome to the Worlds
(Rose POV)
I was glad to hear them say that because now we are what each other have, no other families or friends. But still unwary of where to go now, I left the Splattered Area to the Library of Lifeless Learning and went into Zexion's private library. Within, I found the most prized book in this world that none of the others have found, the Tome to the Worlds. To even find it was hard, but decoding Zexion's code was a bit of a challenge. I was lucky that we had agreed to stay until we get here until we get a lead of where Kale had lived but it could have been at least years, and I had found the key that would only make it be months to find a lead.
I had spent countless days in my old room my work now poured over the Tome to the Worlds. Loxen came in to bring in meals but I had barely deciphered much of the Tome. But I soon was able to understand most of the Tome. Spoken in riddles and rhymes, and I decided to search Zexion's room more thoroughly. Then within the flooring between his bed and bookshelf like it said in the Tome "Twixt resting and reading, cards to found, to lend or to lead, betwixt the round.", I found a round opening within were strange cards made of gold and silver with jewels embedded. Also within the opening, there was a note written in Zexion's code and handwriting. I had found out they were the Speed Cards, special cards Zexion had created to travel to worlds without using a Keyblade Gliders or the Corridors of Darkness. But how to use them wasn't in my knowing.
No matter how many times I had tried the incantations to summon the Speed Portals, they never worked out. I had to figure this myself, I never knew of my past until now. I couldn't get any help from Vexen for I had seen him, the one who truly raised me since I was adopted, ceased to exist. That was when it clicked me, what if Vexen's somebody, Even, could be of some help. That was when I left my room, hoping to find Xerenia, who basically was dealing with the C.O.D.s and which worlds we could go while we are staying here.
(Xerenia's POV)
I couldn't believe Rose was out of her room, recently, she barely left her room over a book that I couldn't tell what she was up to. It was amazing her to see her in action since her coma, it was uncertain if she was if you want to say "stable" but I am certain that she would make it. Whenever I was in her room, I could never tell if she was reading the book, if she was asleep or if she was unconscious again until I had gently shook her on her shoulder asking her if she was awake which normally ended up with her awaking quickly or her answering in surprise. Now I am seeing her out of her room coming toward me. Yet though ever since we came back from the Spirit Gardens, we've all started to change, I was the first to feel this change. My eyes had changed colors from a golden yellow to a midnight blue; my hair had gained silvery blue streaks. Xeleos also had his change, his silvery streaks had changed into silvery blue streaks and his eyes had changed from the golden yellow to a brilliant sea green. I was surprised to see him and I thought that change was always bad when I had changed but when he had faced his change, he stopped his trouble making and even took his bang and took it out of his face. But Rose out of all of us hasn't faced the change yet and now I am uncertain of what she is doing now.
"Xerenia, could you possibly summon a C.O.D. to Radiant Garden?" asked Rose.
"Why ever do you ask Rose?" I questioned to her.
"I have been wondering about my past and where I came from," she had explained, "Vexen was the one who had taken me here and raised me, if I am right then memories from a Nobodies life would be still in the Somebody that the Nobody came from. Since I had seen that Vexen had remembered me when he was fading away, then it would mean that Even could help me."
"I see your perseverance Rose, I would love to help you but it would be to consuming," I had told her, "you see, our C.O.D.s ability is wearing away, we had given up on relying on the darkness. Even a simple C.O.D. could be misleading unless if there was another way young keyblade wielder."
"Thank you though Xerenia," Rose said and she had left back to her room.
(Rose POV)
It was worth the try though, how could I be able to see Even, then what would I do, I could be stuck in Radiant Garden if I use the C.O.D. and I haven't tapped into how to use the keyblade gliders and Radiant Garden wasn't a sleeping world. This next meeting was going to be our last here because of my idea. I haven't really gotten the hang of the Speed Cards but it was worth the try. I've been testing them from getting to one place of the castle to another and I could be ready to try world jumping now. I had learned the incantations were in Zexion's code and when I did it the Speed Portal had opened up; leading me to the exact place I had wanted to go.
