Chapter 4 the Change and Speed Portals

(Normal POV)

Ever since everyone had been at the Castle that never was almost everyone has been facing the change. Each change was different and made them unique from when they had lived in Organization XIII.

Xerenia was the first, her bright golden eyes shaded into a deep, mysterious midnight blue and her raven black hair had gained a single silvery blue streak. She had also gained a bit of a caring nature.

Xeleos was second; his bright green eyes had colored to a shining sea green. His silver streaks had faded into silvery blue and his trouble making days had ended.

Rose had recently faced the change. Her eyes had shaded to a cerulean blue and in her hair gained two icy blue streaks of hair on the side of her forehead.

Kairyu's eyes had became an ivory green color, she had started taking her pale blue bangs out of her face showing her brilliant eyes. Kairyu became more outgoing towards her friends.

Kai had gained two sea blue streaks in his hair on the side of his forehead and soon learned to play instruments as well.

Maxia's puppy ears had transformed into silvery blue adult wolf ears. Her golden eyes became pale grey eyes. Her midnight blue hair had gained silvery blue streaks.

Roxel had lost his teardrop tattoos, his eyes becoming a jade green. His hair color had swapped, from starting blond to flaming red to starting from scarlet red to golden blond.

Roxie's hair which had red tips lost the tips. Her blond hair became a stunning golden blond. She had a bang that went from the right to left that was a fiery scarlet red.

Loxen's pale, lifeless eyes became bright sky blue eyes. And a lightning blue streak in the exact shape of a lightning bolt appeared in his hair on the left side.

Rion's blue eyes became cerulean blue. She lost the golden blond tips which became a golden blond streak of hair on the right side of her forehead. Also, her keyblade, Key to the Memories changed to Golden Memories, golden shaft and golden wayfinder-shaped guard. The key was in the shape of a shard of memories with a golden vine curling up onto the memory. The keychain was in the shape of some Sea-Salt Ice cream

The change was different for them, yet they were glad that they did for it made them different, unique from their old life.

They had also had began to rely less on the darkness which simmered down into a small shadow within their soul. But relying less on the darkness paid a price on them, they had began to lose their ability to summon or use the C.O.D.s and the keyblade wielders, Roxel, Roxie, Rion and Rose, hadn't really gotten the hang of using the keyblade gliders and they weren't sure if the keyblade gliders would work with non-keyblade wielders.

(Rose POV)

We have been basically stuck in this world. It was until I had found the Tome to the Worlds was when I was starting to believe of a new way to travel between worlds. Truly Zexion's writing style was what had amazed me. Riddles that could be solved easily one way or another. He didn't even try to change into different languages, it was all in English.

Without the Tome to the Worlds, the Speed Cards would have still have been hidden, possibly for eternities. But to use them was a challenge, I never even had heard of Speed Cards. I've heard of Entercards but never Speed Cards.

Speed Cards had special jewels embedded in certain areas that would glow when an incantation was spoken; little did I know it was in Zexion's code. Now I had found a way to leave this horrid world we once called a home.

(Normal POV)

Everyone was in the Round Room carrying their bags, with Kai and Kairyu's help, the bags were made to feel lighter than it was. The Speed Cards were arranged in the pattern depicted in the Tome to the Worlds.

"Betwixt here and another, towards a different world from the World that never was to Radiant Garden" I said and with that, the Speed Portal had opened up, "hurry now, it won't fade away unless if I enter the portal. So you all must hurry."

We all made it into the portal and we found ourselves in Radiant Garden. We had to readjust our eyes since we were in the Castle surrounded by night, but it was easy. We then found someone who looked familiar. Zexion?
