Chapter CLXXXV: The Budding Darkness, The Beckoning Of the Pegasus And The Gathering Of Heroes
Return To The Radiant Gardens Part XXVII
"ACHOO!"
Sneezing loudly as she sat at her desk Nozomi put her hands over her mouth quickly. Then sniffling she moaned aloud, "man... this sucks!"
Hearing her say this, Wairu sitting opposite looked at her as he then admitted, "it sure sounds like it sucks! It looks like you're really suffering there."
For looking at her, Nozomi was quite red in the face and her eyes looked a little puffy too. It was clear she was not well at all as she replied pitifully, "you've got no idea..."
Sighing as he heard her say this, Wairu then had to ask her, "well why did you bother coming in today? If you're really that sick you shouldn't bother, Nozomi!"
Moaning again as she heard the beginning of this lecture, the sick girl told her childhood friend, "I gotta come here! I don't wanna miss anything in class and..."
Not impressed at her attempts of an excuse, Wairu then had to ask her as he was beginning to get annoyed with her stubbornness,"and what?"
Nozomi was quiet for a moment, then lowering her head she said honestly, "and... I didn't wanna be alone in the Dojo by myself..."
Hearing her say this, Wairu looked to her again as she sniffed sadly. Looking at her the would be wizard then felt his annoyance flow away as he felt bad himself for her lonely situation at home and for saying without thinking...
However unbeknownst to the two friends, a pair of suspicious eyes was gazing at them as they interacted...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile continuing to watch over her, Uriax could see that his dark blue spell was continuing to grow and as it did. He could see one thing that was clear, "it won't be much longer now..."
For now he could see within the centre of Nozomi's chest, there appeared to be something growing. It almost looked like a flower bud, however it was clear the thing that would blossom would not be something good as it emanated spores of darkness.
It was so terrifying, that even Peter was flying over now and was fluttering as he fidgeted with nervousness. For he didn't like it... it was bad, it was really, really bad.
However Uriax was far from thinking that, for bending himself down he picked up Nozomi's still right hand and as he did. He laid a gentle kiss down to the back of it as he told her sleeping face as he stroked her cheek with his other hand, "just a little more... it won't be too much longer... Nozomi..."
With that said, the dark bud of darkness blooming from the keyblader's heart continued to throb as it swelled and grew bigger...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Oh... just how long does this darkness go on for?" Hana asked as she continued to walk forwards.
"I've got no clue, but we just gotta hope it's not forever right?" Came Hope's reply as he continued to walk on beside her.
For the two of them having awakened in the sea of darkness together were now journeying forwards, hoping beyond hope that they would find the others! However this journey seemed to be never ending and it was even to the point now where neither of them could even remember the exact amount of time they'd been walking on for.
Hana feeling dread then replied to the young apprentice warrior, "yeah... let's hope."
Hearing his princess say this, immediately Ruby spoke up as he said fluttering on his princess's shoulder, "oh please don't say that Hanahime! There's still hope for us! Please buck up! I'm sure we'll-"
Then suddenly interrupting the small brown robin, in the distance there was sound of thundering! Hearing it, immediately both weary travellers and shocked bird turned to see there shining in the distance were two white beams of light! They reached high into the dark heavens as two massive beacons!
Seeing it, everyone's eyes widened and as they did. It was quickly that Hope asked, "did you see that!?"
Nodding quickly Hana replied, "yeah! Yeah I did! Could it mean?"
Quickly Hope replied feeling a bubbling spring of excitement rise within him, he told the long blonde haired girl, "yeah! I think we're in luck!" Then grabbing Hana's hand he started to pull her forwards as he said, "c'mon! Let's go!"
"Ah!" Then quickly before she could say another word, the girl was being pulled forwards by the white haired young man.
Seeing them go quickly, Ruby then cried out,"hey wait for me!" With that he started flapping his wings furiously as he went to catch up to them both. With that band of lost travellers, may have at last found their beacons of salvation.

"Urgh..." bored out of his mind, Greeble was still standing guard before the hideout that Uriax had created for him and his group. But other than being left to hold the glowing yellow stone that was still within his wings, he had nothing else to do, except tap his foot in agitation.
Annoyed, he said aloud quietly to himself at a volume where Uriax wouldn't hear him, "just what the heck is that guy playing at? Why's he so obsessed with that girl anyway...?" However saying that he couldn't help but think of his accomplices. Growing a little concerned as he thought of them and thinking that neither he or Uriax had heard anything from them, he sighed simply as he said, "hmm... I hope lady Irma and the others have been successful."
Then suddenly just as he said those words, in moments there was suddenly a huge sound of thunder! Feeling it he cried out shocked, "hey what the?! What the heck is-!"
Immediately though he was cut off as he saw shining off in the distance not too faraway from their hideaway spot, two beams of light fall from the darkened sky... looking at them, he knew one thing. This was not good! Then with no other real option... he knew there was only one thing for it! Turning around he quickly sprinted into the hideaway as he cried out loud, "HEEEEY!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
His eyes closed, Riku then felt the light around him quickly dissipate and die away... as it did he almost felt breathless as he looked up and around himself, seeing only the darkness once more.
Looking around himself as he continued to rest upon Riku's shoulder, Cait sith then made his own remark, "well... looks like we're back to square one again, aren't we lads?"
Sazh hearing this from the small black and white cat, sighed as he looked around himself and remarked, "sure looks like it..."
Hearing him say this, Juan who was still standing guard making sure Peekaboo or Irma didn't make a move as his Axolotl pal floated over them he spoke his own thoughts, "oh! I'm sure it can't be Cait sith amigo! Sazh camarada! We must have gotten somewhere!"
As the gun toting 'ARC' said this, it was then Riku finally spoke himself as he said, "well there's only one way to find out!" With that he turned over and walked over to Irma.
Seeing him approach, the mischievous sorceress was scowling mad at him... obviously she wanted nothing to do with him! Peekaboo himself was just shivering nervously under the white haired keyblader's intense gaze.
Riku himself wasn't in the mood for her either, however he knew that she possibly was the only one who knew anything about where they might be. So he demanded out of her, "... tell us, where are we?"
Irma though only turned her head away defiantly, turning her nose up at him. Maintaing her rebellious streak.
Riku though was in no mood for this type of behaviour as he then quickly summoned his keyblade in a sparkle of light and pointed it at her saying mad, "answer me!"
On guard quickly Peekaboo shivered in terror at this act, Irma turning herself at this show of power as she saw the keyblade in his hands. Then gave him an answer, however it wasn't one that was helpful, "how would I know? I work with the darkness! Your stupid beam of light could have taken us anywhere in this place!" Then to mock him further she added, "you should just ask that stupid keyblade of yours that question!"
This attitude didn't sit well with anyone who was there and Peekaboo, though who would usually be proud of his lady for not backing down. Knew with their numbers outmatched and with them restrained by black ropes Juan had taken out of his pocket... he knew there was no chance for them!
He was shaking in his pink feathers, however before anything on toward could occur, suddenly-
"Fella's!"
Immediately turning around, Riku Cait sith, Juan and Sazh quickly saw coming towards them. Along with perplexed Irma and Peekaboo who looked on with wide eyes, it was none other than the King, Alania and Vincent!
Seeing the group coming towards them, quickly all covered in relieved smiles except Vincent who of course was acting as the stoic warrior he was. It was quickly that Riku and the others were overcome with the same relief and were ecstatic as immediately they all went to meet them!
"Lads!"
Came Cait sith's reaction to the king! As they ran on, it was clear to everyone that their luck was now changing and as they all came together the excited and relieved talks began as they started talking about what had happened to them all.
However Irma being dragged on from behind with Peekaboo, as Juan continued to pull them all forwards. It was then that the dark sorceress saw ahead of her that Gandrake and Volg too were restrained like them, though they were both being pushed by Vincent and their hands were bound by ice.
Seeing this she at first was shocked, however instead she quickly became enraged as she uttered under her breath, "you imbeciles!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"HEEEEY!" Then suddenly distracting Uriax, he turned around just as Peter did in surprise.
However the widened eyed dark apprentice, quickly lost his surprise and instead he became irritated as he saw the peppermint green chocobo come running over. Looking at him, he released his hand from Nozomi's and looking at the small bird he asked him, "what's wrong with you?"
Hurriedly Greeble began his anxious explanations, "lights!" Then taking in another deep breath he cried out, "the lights!"
Hearing him say this, Uriax then asked him, not getting a single word he said, "lights?"
Peter continuing to flutter on overhead, turned his head to the side puzzled himself to hear this.
But finally then, Greeble got enough of his senses back to begin to explain what he'd seen, "there are two beams of light that have come out from the sky! Not too far away from here!"
Quiet as he listened, finally getting more of a clearer picture of what was going on. Uriax then narrowed his eyes as he uttered, "so... those idiots have failed have they?"
Perplexed as he heard a certain word, Greeble repeated nervously, "idiots?"
Uriax then spelled it out for the dumb bird, "that lady who you serve and that arrogant so-called swordsman, they've failed to take out those vermin... and it looks like they've made their way here."
It was then that Greeble understood who he was talking about. Quickly it seemed that Peter knew somehow who they were talking about too as he turned his head to look to the entrance of the hideaway with widened eyes.
The peppermint green chocobo becoming horribly worried for his mistress, Gandrake and his fellow chocobo accomplices who he was sure were with them. He had to ask though as Uriax was the only ally he had there, "well what're we going to do? What're we-"
It was then the sinister shadow of Uriax came over him and as it did, the dark apprentice informed the anxious bird, "we're going to give them a surprising welcome..."
Greeble didn't like the sound of what he was saying and flying above, Peter didn't either! Looking to Uriax and Greeble with widened eyes, he then turned to Nozomi who continued to sleep on uncomfortably with that dark blue spell pulsing and growing from within her.
It was quickly the little pegasus came to a decision and without a single doubt plaguing him, he quickly fluttered out of the hideaway's entrance, he was on his way to make it to the others!
While Greeble looking up to Uriax shivered madly, as the dark apprentice brought out his right hand which began to glow with dark blue flames. As it did he then heard him say with a chilling note in his voice, "now... let's get started! Shall we?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
There was a moment of silence as finally all the information had between shared between everyone about what had happened to each and all of them.
The King then decided to speak up as he said, "wow... it looks like we've all been through a lot! Hey, fella's?"
Hearing him say this it was then that Juan replied as he told the mouse King, "ya got that right amigo! We have been..."
Riku only nodded at this comment and as he did, though he was glad that everyone else was there around him. There was still a few people who were missing from the group which he couldn't help but notice...
However before he could dwell on it more, it was then that Alania spoke as she made a suggestion, "yeah we have... but let's get some answers as to why shall we?"
Vincent hearing this suggestion, with his arms folded agreed as he said, "indeed... I believe we should."
It was then that everyone's attention turned to Irma, Gandrake Volg and Peekaboo who they all still had prisoner. The group of villain's feeling all their eyes on them were clearly not pleased and it was more than obvious they were not going to talk that easily.
However that wasn't going to stop the heroes from trying, Sazh was the first one to begin and he simply asked, "all right now you guys, fess up! How'd you managed to get the ability to stuff me and Vince into the stones you had?"
Nodding as he said this, it was then that Juan added, "yeah! Plus those weird transformations you chicos managed to do! That ain't yer normal thing there!"
Cait sith hearing this then announced, "yeah! It totally wasn't!"
Gandrake hearing these idiots say these things, then gave to them coldly his thoughts, "and what're you morons gonna get out of it, if you know? What difference does it make?"
It was then that Mickey told the arrogant swordsman, "it'll let us know who we're dealing with!...Also there's no point of you guys remaining silent for another fella if there is one."
Volg not liking the sound of the chirper mouse's voice, he asked him, "and why's that?"
"Don't you get it?" Riku asked them with a serious tone in his voice.
Then hearing him say this, Irma was getting fed up with him and his piercing blue eyes as she told him, "get what?"
Riku was then the one to inform her the obvious, "you've been discarded... abandoned," he told her coldly. He then added further, "that person hasn't come back to help you have they?"
Hearing this Irma froze and stared up at him with widened eyes, clearly shocked. However trying to stick up for his lady, Volg then told the meddling keyblader, "and who says we need help! Don't you-"
However it was then that Cait sith spoke up as he told the black and red tinged feathered chocobo, "don't we what? You blokes can't escape from us and you know it! Don't try and act all macho when you know you haven't even got any cards in yer hands!"
It was then that even Volg froze and he did... it became painfully crystal clear that what those two were saying was true. Though ultimately none of them wanted to admit it...
Seeing the apparent defeat that was on all their faces, it was then that Mickey decided to take the chance and speak again to them as he asked, "... so fella's, can ya please tell us? Who were ya workin' with?"
Having been silent all of this time, it was then that finally Peekaboo decided to voice himself. For now he knew that he and his lady along with the others had nothing to lose as he said, "it's a powerful guy," with that he said those words, it was then everyone turned their attention to him. As they all did, Peekaboo went on to say, "... by the name of Uriax."
Repeating this name, Riku found it almost oddly familiar as he repeated, "Uriax?"
Vincent wanting more information then asked the plump pink bird, "just who is this Uriax? What is his agenda?"
Not understanding this word as he heard it, Peekaboo repeated, "agenda?"
Sighing Volg then told him, "what he's doing... and what he wants you dummy!"
Hearing his Peekaboo then replied, "oohh!" Then finally getting it, he continued, "well uh... he didn't really tell us what he wanted! He just gave us loads of stuff... oh but he has got that girl with him!"
Immediately there was concern as Riku asked immediately, "girl? What girl?"
It was then that Volg was to fill him in, annoyed as he recalled past events, "the other one of you who holds a keyblade... and who ruined my lady's honour some time ago!"
Hearing this Riku was horrified to hear this and quickly Cait sith then demanded, "what does he want with our Nozomi lass!? What has he-"
Irma was then the next one to comment as she said coldly, "I have no idea why he wanted her!" However chillingly she decided to let slip, "...but soon, it won't matter... cause she won't remember you idiots anymore!"
Concerned immediately Riku demanded, "what do you mean!?"
Irma then spelled it out for him and the rest of the dunces, "he's re-writing her memories... and erasing all traces of you guys!" Then quiet as she saw the looks of horror on all their faces she smirked again as she admitted, "and I guess if nothing else... that'll be good enough compensation for us!"
Feeling a horrible chill run through him, Riku didn't want that happen! For remembering various precious memories of times he'd shared with her and thinking of the adventures they'd all experienced as a team... it was too terrible to think about that!
Mickey hearing this shared the same sentiment as he asked, "but why though!? Why would he go that far!? Why-"
However interrupting him, suddenly Riku started running forwards!
Immediately everyone turned as they all saw him go! Cait sith still on his shoulder cried out, "oi! Lad where do you think you're going!? Where-"
Stopping for a moment, the white haired keyblader informed him and everyone,"I've got to find her! I've got to stop what's happening to Nozomi! I can't let her lose her memories!"
Hearing him say this, though he could understand his urgency. Vincent had to be the voice of logic as he told him, "and where do you expect to find her?" Immediately hearing this Riku froze and as he did, the red clad warrior continued, "you have no leads to go upon, if you foolishly rush into the darkness you will be wasting precious time... and if you do that you'll be too late!"
At these words, Riku then still for a moment turned his head down as he tightly clenched his fist and bit his lower lip in desperation.
Seeing his frustration, Mickey and Cait sith could understand perfectly his feelings and they wanted to do something too! Along with everyone else who was there, but what could they do when-
"NEIGH!"
Suddenly all at once everyone was astonished for there coming down and fluttering above them all looking really anxious, it was none other than the black and white baby pegasus, Peter!
Seeing him no-one could believe it! Riku then asked him curiously, "Peter?"
At once hearing him say his name, Peter then started shaking with his head and indicating in a certain direction as he twirled and fluttered anxiously in the air!
Alania seeing him do this, asked puzzled, "what's he doing?"
However Riku quickly remembered that the last person he was with, was one he knew and treasured deeply, "it's Nozomi! He know's where she is, he wants us to go with him!"
Everyone hearing this was shocked and at first no-one responded, however Cait sith then asked, "what lad!?"
Then Riku told everyone, "Peter was with Nozomi when she left me before!" With that turning to the small pegasus, he proclaimed absolutely sure, "I'm sure that's what he wants us to do!"
Hearing the white haired keyblader say this, immediately Peter reacted and he then nodded as he heard her name and quickly with that he moved showing everyone to please trust and follow him!
This was more than enough for Riku and with that he started to chase after the small pegasus!
Seeing him go, quickly Mickey followed after him as he cried out, "Riku! Wait!"
Sazh then seeing him go, cried out, "hey guys!" With that he chased after them too!
Quickly in turn Juan then started to chase after them too as he cried out, "hey! Wait up amigo's!"
As he went though he pulled with him Irma and her gang who were now were all connected by his black ropes and they were struggling to keep up with his incredible Ostrich speed! "UUAAGHH!" Came their cry as they fell and were all quickly being dragged along the floor! Poncho followed closely behind as he stared on with his blank as ever expression!
Alania though quickly cried out, "hey guys! Wait you-"
"HEY!"
Quickly turning around, it was then that Alania along with Vincent saw that approaching them from within the darkness. It was none other than Hope and Hana with Ruby following closely behind his princess!
Seeing them the blue haired summoner couldn't believe it as she cried out, "Hope! Hana!"
Arriving over fast, immediately Hope told them with a breathless smile as Hana tried to recover herself bending over, "hi Alania! Long time no see! What's been happening?"
Hearing this, the young summoner turned around and quickly seeing the others disappearing into the darkness she told her friends, "something urgent!" Then becoming anxious she told them,"guys! I'm sorry! I know you've just arrived but we gotta run and go now!"
It was just then getting her own breath back, that Hana asked baffled, "what? Why? What's-"
However quickly running again to catch up with Riku and the others, Alania left them. As she did Hana then cried out, "Alania! Wait just what's-"
Quickly acting though, Vincent stepped in and said, "I'll be able to track them down and catch up quickly, but before that I will inform of you of the events that have transpired thus far."
It was then that quietly Hope and Hana with Ruby on her shoulder listened to Vincent as he explained what was going on as their friends ran on off into the darkness...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Now upon the roof of the school, Wairu was being confronted by a few students and it was clear that they were in a hostile mood...
Looking at them he could sense what was going to happen as he asked, "so what did you wanna talk about with me?"
Hearing this question it was then one of the students told him, "that girl you're always hanging out with... she sick isn't she?"
As he heard this question being asked he replied simply with his arms folded, "yeah? And what about it?"
Then one of the other students put it to him their suspicious thoughts, "you've been using your magic on her haven't you? She your guinea pig or something? You practising curses on her are you?"
At once hearing this Wairu became soured in seconds and instantly he knew didn't want to have anything to do with these ridiculous accusations as he told them, "I don't have time for this!" So with that he went to leave through the door that would take him back downstairs.
However quickly those few students stopped him as they created a small wall, barring him from leaving and as they did there was a sinister look in their eyes. One of them then told him, "you're not going anywhere!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"RRROOOAAARRRGGGHHH!"
Hearing this roar as he gazed on with his arms folded and with a grin on his face, he looked on as the transformation he'd initiated was beginning to come to completion. As it was he then said pleased, "now this is what I call a beast!"
Then saying that the monster he'd made pulled itself back as it roared once more into the air! It's shadow leaning over the helpless sleeping form of Nozomi and it's sinister creator, who stood on proudly as he smiled up broadly...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Running forwards still as he chased after Peter, Riku was desperate! As he continued on, Cait sith encouraged him as he told him, "c'mon lad! We'll be with her soon! Just keep going!"
Nodding the white haired keyblader agreed as he told his feline companion, "I know!" However inside he couldn't help but think to himself, 'Nozomi hang on! We're all coming! Just wait!'
Then just as that thought came, immediately there ahead of them, coming seemingly out of nowhere. There were a cluster of trees with swirling yellow leaves, they almost looked pom like and looking on they were creating an entryway that almost looked like a cave!
It was then immediately that Riku knew Nozomi was in that clove and as he did, quickly Peter neighed loudly as he bid them all to quickly come!
Immediately the keybladers and all the emerging heroes all rushed towards those trees to do just that! Cait sith signalled for them all to attack as he cried out pointing forwards, "CHARGE LADS!"
But just as they got were getting close to those trees-
"RRROOOAAARRRGGGHHH!"
Suddenly distracting everyone as they heard this loud roar, they all turned to where the source of it was coming from! Alania cried out, "what the-"
CRASH!
Immediately, a huge storm of wind blew forth sending everyone back with yellow dancing leaves flying here there and everywhere! Looking on they were all trying to see through this strong breeze!
Looking on Mickey cried out, "what is-"
Then suddenly all at once, the wind died down and the leaves dropped. As they did... they all saw the beast that had been brought forth!
Arriving fast, Juan came to a sudden halt as he looked on with widened shocked eyes! However the sorceress's team crashed as they all came to a stand still. Rubbing her nose achingly as she sat up Irma cried out mad, "oww! You blithering idiot! Don't you drag me around like-"
However quickly the sorceress of darkness stopped too in shock! For there she and her accomplices saw before her the monster...
It was peppermint green in colour, with vibrant red elaborate lines all over it's body that throbbed like blood vessels in the darkness. It was a huge bird like creature with yellow burning eyes, it's wings and practically it's whole body was metallic like!
It's wings were huge and long, the feathers that lined along them were like knives and upon it's head were two long horns that were twisted making them look devil like. Then behind it was it's long flaming peacock like tail feathers that had chains interwoven all over them!
It was chilling to gaze at it and there was no doubt it was dangerous! However looking at the monster, Irma couldn't help but squint as she was sure along with the rest of her cohorts that there was something familiar about it? Then widening her eyes she asked, "is that-?"
"RRROOOAAARRRGGGHHH!"
Suddenly at once the monster roared and moved! As it did, it was Volg who realised who it was that before them! Immediately he cried out, "Greeble!?"
Juan hearing the black and red chocobo say this asked perplexed, "it's who!?"
However quickly the black dressed totting 'ARC' was distracted as something shone on from behind him! Turning he looked and quickly his eyes became widened.
It was then though at that moment, that Hope arrived along with Hana who was being carried by Vincent. As the three arrivals looked on, it was the white haired young man who was shocked the most out everyone!
For there shining on from a projection of light from within the yellow stone that was embedded within the monster's chest. There was the transparent ghost like image of a strong certain female warrior who looked on with widened shocked eyes as she saw where she was!
Immediately Hope cried out her name urgently, "Lightning!"
However as this cry of distress came, it was then that the image of her was quickly absorbed back into the stone! Then as this occurred the monster roared loudly again and from within the stone, a pulsating white light came out!
Instantly it was snatched up by a fast flying heartless that was in the form of a big strange bat like creature. However it was grinning menacingly and giggled with a haunting laughter that sent chills down everyone's spine as it spun about in the air!
As it did this, the monster Greeble had become roared again and quickly it beat it's wings and started to fly into the air! It gazed down at all it's prey with burning yellow eyes!
Immediately everyone was on guard as they saw the monster and Riku gripping his keyblade tightly was agitated! For he knew that this Uriax was the one who sent this thing! And he knew ultimately he was trying to delay them!
Cait sith just as annoyed said mad, "tch! It's just one thing after another ain't it!"
It was then that Mickey said as he walked on over and stood next to his fellow keyblader, "it is... but we'll just nip this in bud with all our pals!"
Quickly as though responding to his words, it was then that the others all gathered behind them! For they were all prepared and ready for battle too, especially Hope who as he gripped his boomerang was going to release Lightning! No matter what!
Nodding Riku agreed as he replied, "yeah we will!" Then as the creature roared once more, he charged forwards as he cried out, "now let's go!"
With that the others charged in behind them! All ready to take down the transformed Greeble! However none of them could know, not even Uriax himself... that there was another set of swivelling eyes that was watching on from within the depths of darkness...
