I WILL WALK MY OWN PATH. IT'S NOW OR NEVER. ALEXIUS stumbled as he stepped out of his portal. He didn't really know where he was going to end up. But there was one thing that he honestly hadn't been expecting. Stepping into water. He actually found himself swearing as he stumbled and water swished and sloshed around his legs, the corridor of darkness he had created to leave The World That Never Was closed behind him..leaving him alone. Oh. Something had gone wrong, and Roxas had split up by accident. Well shit. He sighed softly at that. "Well..I guess I'm on my own now.." he said as he looked around. It was nighttime, which didn't really help things. But..well..he could see a beach. So that made him actually kind of hopeful. So Alexius bit down his frustration at this and made his way towards the beach, grumbling lightly as he made his way onto the beach itself. "So..I guess I should find out where I ended up.." he mumbled as he slowly walked into town. What he saw actually confused him. Unlike what he had seen in the other worlds..this one looked like it was stuck in the past. Buildings were made of wood and stone. Sailing ships were everywhere. There was even a rampart for gods sake! It was almost like he had stepped back in time and ended up in Archipelago's historical age of piracy. With that in mind, he found himself walking through the nighttime area, blinking as he saw a nighttime crowd of what appeared to be exceedingly shady people. That actually made Alexius feel the need to reach back and touch the sword on his back. This area didn't exactly scare him. But it was very much a place that he felt like he needed some protection in. Still, he was at least able to read what signs he could see. Eventually, he found a sign for a tavern, and made his way into it. As he stepped into the tavern, his lack of energy finally hit him, and he plodded his way over to the bar counter. "I'll just..t..take a room for a night.."he said as he slammed some of the coins from his home on the counter. They looked like gold coins, and luckily for him, that seemed to be the currency that this world used, as the barmaid gave him a key and told him that it was the last room on the right. And so, he collapsed on the bed in that room.
As the morning came, Alexius had to groan. Between the lack of curtains in his room, and the rowdy crowd within the tavern, he was up far earlier than he should have been. With that in mind, he had to groan as he got up and looked out of his window. Now that he could see the city in the light of day, he was correct in his assumption. This world seemed to be in the center of the age of piracy. At least, in some stereotypical sense, since that was really the only context he had for it. With that in mind, he just nodded and got ready for the day before walking out into the town square, beginning to wander a place that seemed to be called Port Royal, if any of the signs that he saw were anything to go by. Honestly..this place was interesting, and even though he seemed out of place, they didn't seem to pay any mind to him, which was nice.

He stepped out of the portal, his clothing automatically being replaced with clothing to fit in with the time frame of the world he was in. Quite used to this, the keyblader looked around the place that called itself Port Royal checking out the busy streets as his eyes automatically hunted for Heartless or other trouble in the area. Outside of the normal trouble, there didn't seem to be much out of place. There wasn't a Heartless in sight and it seemed that the Darkness level in the area was relatively normal...so why was he here again?
Was he hear to patrol or something else? It was hard to say with no immediate sign of danger in sight, but then again maybe it wasn't even for a job he was here. Maybe he was actually put somewhere just to explore and be curious for a change. And what a place to be for that. This place was definitely dated and looked like it was right out of one of those pirate books he used to read before things took the turn they did. It was certainly a curious place to be in, but why--?
You know what, Riku? Stop thinking and just walk. Try to enjoy this place while you can and quite thinking trouble is the only reason to be in a place. Lighten up a bit and relax. His mind told him this and though he did not relax, he at least pushed pass questioning why he was there and just decided to explore to see what he found. Shifting from his spot, he began to walk in the sunlit area taking in all the sites and sounds around him.

I WILL WALK MY OWN PATH. IT'S NOW OR NEVER. FATE could be a fickle thing. Splitting up from Roxas and ending up here? Possibly an accident, sure. But then Alexius caught a glimpse of something familiar looking out the corner of his eye. Was that..a Corridor? Alexius came to a stop as he focused his attention on a nearby alleyway. Yeah. That was a Corridor. Maybe Roxas had found his way here too. Unfortunately, Alexius's hopes were dashed when someone he didn't recognize stepped out of the corridor..only for his clothes to suddenly change to fit the surroundings. That..that was new. Alexius had to blink as this apparent teenager stepped out of the alleyway, looking every bit like a resident of this world.
That actually made Alexius's brow furrow. That had to be some kind of magic, right? That being said, he felt his sense of curiosity begin to tingle, causing him to begin to blend into the crowd that was passing by as he kept his eye on this new person. He wasn't really sure about this. He had seen only one other person use these corridors. But given how utterly..horrifying it was to move through them?
That made him a little leery of some random person who seemed completely unbothered by moving through these things. Of course, little had Alexius known, his own keyblade had done much of the same to him. His outfit was more akin to that of a common sailor now, with the sword on his back suddenly not seeming out of place anymore. Of course, eventually he found that the crowds were starting to veer away from where this silver haired teenager was heading. With that in mind, he silently slipped away from the crowds, keeping a fair distance away, using all the skills of tailing he had been taught during his years as a SeeD. Where were they going? Alexius had no idea. He just knew that something was off about this person, and he had to figure out what it was.

Riku would continue to move down the strange streets, his aquamarine eyes scanning the various places around him as people looked at him with curiosity or caution as they passed by. Despite the rough clothing he was in, no one bothered him much as he stopped to explore a store nearby eyeing some of the guns there, but not buying anything before moving back on the streets. He would continue his exploration unbothered for a while, but then a small prick at the back of his neck told him something was off….something was here, but what it was he could not tell.
All he knew was that something was in the area that didn’t belong just like himself, but whether it was a threat or not was yet to be seen. Steadily pushing forward, the keyblader’s eyes would narrow slightly as he felt this presence not sure where it was coming from, but knowing it was following. Not exactly liking where this could go, the keyblader remained in the crowds for quite some time before turning onto a street less traveled. Would the presence follow or would he lose it from here?

I WILL WALK MY OWN PATH. IT'S NOW OR NEVER. AS he followed this new person, Alexius took notice of how people seemed to be avoiding him. Was it the odd color of his hair? The clothing he wore? Or maybe it was both. He didn't really know. Of course, he continued to tail this young man, keeping an eye on him from within the crowd, following the flow of the people around him, it made it a little harder for anyone to actually catch him. At least, that was the idea. It seemed that he hadn't been giving this young man enough credit. As he left what appeared to be a store to procure firearms from, he clearly seemed to pick up on Alexius's presence. Impressive. He had been taught about tailing people at a school that taught everything about combat, magic, summoning..and he had still been caught by this strange person. How did he know this? The sudden change.
He hadn't looked around, but the path he had taken was changing. It was to avoid the main crowd now. Interesting..but not something he couldn't continue tailing this person without. Without missing a beat, Alexius splintered off from the crowd as well, but instead of going down the less crowded street, he took a..different approach. He had ended up in some dead end alley. But this alley had a set of barrels set up in a very convenient pattern. A seeming staircase. With a soft chuckle, Alexius scaled the staircase of barrels and pulled himself up onto the rooftop. He had a far better vantage point from up here.
Of course, by taking the time to get up here, the person he had been tailing was now a decent way down the path. Thankfully, Alexius had plenty of training in athleticism, and had been healed of any of his more major wounds from that beast of a battle. With that in mind, he continued to tail his target from above, jumping from rooftop to rooftop, suddenly very glad that cities had always been designed to have buildings clustered close together. He didn't know what this person was here for. But something about him just rose some red flags for Alexius. That was why he was following him now, after all.

He would move into the alley at first believing he had lost whoever was following, but then from somewhere above he could feel the presence of another. The same presence meaning they were still following. He would continued further into the alley before coming to a stop in an empty part of the path. Staying still for a moment the keyblader would listen for a moment, trying to pinpoint where his follower was before he opened his mouth and spoke out to them.
"I know you're up there, so come on out," he would call his voice calm yet loud enough for anyone on the roof to hear him. As he waited he'd tilted his head upward scanning the rooftops hoping whatever was out there wasn't hostile...or would force him to go onto the roof to find it.

I WILL WALK MY OWN PATH. IT'S NOW OR NEVER. TAILING someone had always been a bit annoying for Alexius. Sure, he was good at it, and he had learned about patience and whatnot during his lessons. But at the same time..it always managed to bore him. Even a situation as interesting as this was a little boring now that he was actively trying to keep his distance and spy on this new person at the same time. Of course, he didn't know that this person could still sense him. People didn't tend to look up, after all. And even if he did decide to look up, Alexius was more than willing to hide behind any nearby chimney or drop to his stomach atop these buildings.
He had been trained rather well at Balamb Garden. So when this strange young man actually called him out for following him, Alexius froze for a minute, as he had been squatting next to a small chimney to keep himself hidden. After a few moments, he clicked his tongue rather loudly. "Well then. Most people wouldn't be able to tell if a SeeD was tailing them!"
He called out as he stood up and looked over the edge of the rooftop he was standing on. It wasn't too much of a drop, and he knew he could take a ridiculous amount of punishment still. So with that in mind, he hopped down and walked into the main alleyway, smiling and waving at the silver haired kid.
"But since you've apparently known I was here this whole time, there's really only two options here. Either I'm getting rusty..or you're no normal kid. And given that I saw you walk out of one of those weird portals that Roxas showed me how to use..and the fact that you changed into what your wearing now without doing much of anything, I'm gonna assume it's the latter."
He said as he stretched a bit, completely oblivious to the fact that his own outfit had changed in color and makeup to be something that would be more commonly seen on mercenaries from this world.
"At any rate, no sense in being rude. My name's Alexius. Alexius Frey."
He said as he held his hand out to the young man in front of him, showing off an honest, genuine smile. He hadn't really meant any harm. But seeing weird things like this after encountering the monster that was Xemnas? It had put him a little on edge, admittedly. But given that this young man clearly knew he had been here this whole time, but hadn't bothered to try and do any harm to him? That gave Alexius a good feeling about him. So he was at least willing to take the risk of things possibly going south.
