Filled with evil, Esha'ntarl didn't really understand how this castle fully worked as she moved around on the outside of the castle itself. Platforms were moving and these 'Heartless' creatures kept appearing. They seemed to come from these void portals.. If they even were portals of the Emptiness, the member of the Armathrwn Society wasn't a hundred percent certain if they were. The portals looked like them, so they must be? Standing at the Castle Gates, the zilart looked at two Defender Heartless appearing out of the portals. However, the portals immediately closed while the Heartless moved towards her. “They keep on spawning, but the portals close immediately,” she said largely to herself as she crossed her arms. The mammet by her side, a Mammet-19 Epsilon, moved forward as a spear appeared in its arms. It tried to thrust its spear into the Defender who moved its shield quickly towards where the thrust came upon and blocked it while the head on the shield came to life, firing fireballs at the mammet that tried to block the hits with the spear. Esha'ntarl raised her arms and energy projectiles were sent out from her sleeves that flew past her mammet at the Defender, a few hitting its shield while other projectiles bounced onto its body as it took a step back. The mammet then spun its spear before sending out a wave from Gravity Wheel, slowing down both Defenders now the second was getting closer. It was a good thing the area to move there wasn't too great, so the other Defender couldn't pass the first too easily. ActiveGravity on the two Defender Heartless: Two posts.

It had been a while since he had stepped foot here. This castle that ran on strange energy and malice. Standing on one of the platforms, the aquamarine eyed keyblader would look up towards the floating space that would hold the castle itself. The memories that had been built here were flowing through him, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth; however, the keyblader would simply take the sting of the past before blinking and focusing on getting up to the castle.
He wasn’t sure why he was summoned back here, but amongst the usual darkness that mingled with the strange air, the keyblader could sense another in the area. That presence was further up, so he suppose he should investigate. Taking a step forward, the keyblader would proceed to the first platform before pushing off the ground to get on top of it. Landing he would move on, making his way slowly and carefully up the platforms until he came to a medium sized one where a few shadows decided to attack. Being weak, it was easy to take them out and press on until he finally landed on the main mass of the area.
Looking at the castle behind its large gates, the keyblader would take a few steps forward before pausing as he noticed a strange lady and some type of creature taking on some of the tougher Heartless. While the pair of enemies were moving slowly, the keyblader knew from experience that two Heartless of that level was no joke. So summoning his keyblade, he moved to help.
As the first defender reared its shield back and tried to thrust it forward to snap at the creature with the woman, there would be a loud clang as instead that chomping mouth met with Riku’s keyblade as he quickly moved between foe and prey. The shield would clamp down upon the keyblade as the larger Heartless tried to push Riku back; however, he wouldn’t let it as he pushed back and with some effort, was able to not only push it back, but also knock it off balance.
As the creature wobbled, it moved its shield leaving itself open for a moment. Darting into that small space of time, Riku would strike out, the Heartless groaning in pain before it was swinging the shield around to hit him. Ducking under the shield and hopping back as the second one made a swipe at him, Riku would land off to the side of the woman as he settled into his combat position.
“Are you two okay?” he would ask, keeping his eye both on foes and newcomers a like. _____________________________________________________________
Moves 1) Blocked Defender blow towards Mammet 2) Pushed Defender #1 back and made a successful physical attack upon it. 3) Jumped back to avoid being struck when the Defenders retaliated.

Ready to take a hit, Epsilon found something had stopped the hit for it. Rather, someone had blocked the hit and the mammet moved a bit back before moving at sudden haste forward when it saw that Riku had moved towards the other Defender. Performing its Microquake attack upon the second Defender as it attacked Riku, its spear hit the Heartless' back and a quake resonated into its body as it dealt heavy damage upon the creature. The Defender wobbled and seemed to go in a rage as it swung its shield towards the mammet while Epsilon jumped back again. Esha'ntarl was taking tabs on both the Defenders while also watching the newcomer fight the first Defender. “Yes, we're alright,” she answered with a smile. Moving forward at the first Defender that had been hit by the newcomer with the odd weapon, the Defender lashed out at the former cardinal when she used Transmogrification. The hit came upon Esha'ntarl, but didn't even faze her. It seemed to simply be halted when it came in contact with her as she absorbed the full damage, converting it into health. In her hand a sword appeared as she switched to Sword Form. Following this, she suddenly started to strike at the Defender with five fast strikes in succession, using Velocious Blade before it could move its shield again. While in this form, she had constant Haste active and would move much faster than normal. At the end of the strikes, the Defender faded away as her strikes dealt a massive amount of damage upon the creature's body. “I'm sorry if we're trespassing,” she continued, hoping this person wasn't a resident.

The keyblader would hear the reply, giving the other a relieved smile in turn; however, that was all he was able to do since the second Defender was moving again. As the second came for him once more, the keyblader would brace himself, preparing for whatever was to come; however, it would seem the one he had helped would pay back the favor, the creature using some sort of move to damage the Defender heavily. The creature would wobble and before it could recover, Riku would push from the ground and make his way towards the opening. Making a turn off to the side at the last moment, he raised his hand and released Dark Fire onto the creature. The dark flames would pound into the creature and in turn cause it to go down with a groan as it returned to the darkness from which it came.
With one down, he would turn to take down the other; however, it would appear the woman had things under control taking the large Heartless down with quick strikes of blade of her own. With no other enemies around for the time being, the keyblade would vanish as he turned his focus towards the woman and the other with her.
“Tresspassing? No. This place is open to anyone who dares to come to place,” Riku would say before looking at the other curiously. “Who are you and why have you come to this dangerous place?”

With the second beast also fading into nothingness, Esha'ntarl was curious about this man. He appeared to be rather young, but a lot of adventurers were back home. The weapon itself was odd and seemed to disappear. The Cardinal watched the young man curiously when he responded on her question of trespassing. Consdering he added the 'who dares to come', it made it seem like some kind of dangerous location or dungeon. As the mammet return to her side and its weapon disappearing, Esha'ntarl turned to look over the castle. It was truly an ominous structure and the creatures weren't to be trifled with. That much she had found already, but as they disappeared, she felt the Emptiness may have a hand into this. Her own sword disappeared, releasing the form as her focus returned to the boy when he asked him a question in return. Making a small bow, Esha'ntarl introduced herself: "Esha'ntarl, Duke Vicarious and member of the Armathrwn Society." Lifting her head again, she continued: "I am researching the Emptiness... which I believe would be refered to as the Realm of Darkness," she pointed at the young man, "since these new places have shown up and the worlds seem to be connected to each other, it stands to reason that something terrible is happening. I seek what that may be and attempt to stop it." She assumed the young man would introduce himself to show some courtesy. Looking over the castle again, Esha'ntarl felt there was something connecting this place to the Darkness. Something that made it draw the Heartless out much easier than some other places. Especially considering the creatures here were stronger than other places. Thus she felt this would further her research into the unknown of these other worlds. CooldownsGravity Wheel: One posts.

He could feel the other observing him, but didn’t mind as he scanned the area a bit to make sure no more Heartless were going to appear. When he felt the usual presence of darkness around the area, his eyes would go back to the woman and the strange creature with her. Both were something he had not run across before making him wonder where they had come from and why they were so interested in the castle. He didn’t sense anything dark about the other, but even so he knew better than to take that alone to judge a person’s intentions. Even someone of Light could be plotting something malicious.
Keeping his wits about him the keyblader would watch as the other bowed to him and introduced herself. Esha'ntarl, huh? He’d have to remember that. She gave off other titles that he didn’t understand, but what he did understand was the talk of her seeking the Realm of Darkness and that alone caught his attention.
“My name is Riku. It’s a pleasure meet you,” he would begin keeping his introduction simple as usual. “You say you seek the Emptiness. What is it exactly and what makes you think it is the Dark Realm?” he would ask before shifting his weight a bit as he followed the woman’s gaze back to the castle. “There is Darkness building around the worlds seeking to destroy them. That Darkness is probably the something terrible you are sensing.” The keyblader would say before falling silent as considered the dark castle before him. Darkness continued to grow stronger and stronger. It made him wonder at times if the Light would be enough to take it on or would it be consumed by it?

The young man introduced himself as Riku, Esha'ntarl nodded with a smile. It was nice to meet the friendly sort of individual in a place like this. Listening on his questions, the Duke Vicarious thought to herself for a moment on how to answer. "I have seen both within these realms, they appear the same, dark and containing monsters of Darkness. Both have creatures that appear to be shaped from that realm as well. Simularly entire places have been taken by these realms, whatever ends up in the Emptiness is slowly broken apart and parts of it is found within. Same for the worlds taken by these 'Heartless' where the a world curiously referred to as 'End of the World' is made up of elements from multiple worlds." Everything she had heard of and seen of this 'Realm' had simularities with the Emptiness. It simply seemed to be the same thing. As Riku explained how Darkness was building around the worlds, she smiled, "again a simularity, the Emptiness builds around the world and tries to consume lands. I have yet to find anything to doubt my theories of them being one and the same." Esha'ntarl shrugged lightly, "how do you combat this Darkness that is building up? Do you know of a way to rid the place from it?" Honestly, Esha'ntarl pondered if giving her titles was a bit much. Though, she wasn't to clarify what she was in any case. "If there is a way to halt it and sever the connection with this Darkness, the Armathrwn Society would be very curious about it," she said while gazing out at the sky, "it has been plaguing my world for centuries and we have found many ways to halt some of the progress in various ways. The results are varied, but nothing have completely ended it." Looking back at the Castle, Esha'ntarl started to walk there as the Mammet followed her. "Thus why my research continues," she explained as she felt there definitely was something there. Looking back at the young man, "may I ask why you are here?" She had given her reasons fully, so it perhaps was his turn to answer the same question. CooldownsGravity Wheel: Ends. Microquake: One posts. Velocious Bade: Three posts.

Riku would return the smile with a slight smile of his own before he began listening to the words the other was saying. So this Emptiness she spoke of acted exactly like the Darkness that he knew of? It seemed impossible, but the more he listened to her speak on it, the more they sound the same. How strange. Was the Darkness really already known in various worlds just by different names? It was something he was curious to know, but for time being he wouldn’t bother the thought further as he instead opted to speak instead.
“Hmmm. Your Emptiness and my Darkness do seem to line up. The traits are very much alike so I would not doubt what you speak of is the same by a different name,” he would begin as he folded his arms a bit in thought. “Well I haven’t found a source to the Darkness to fully stop it, but then again I don’t think stopping it forever would be wise. The Darkness balances out the Light to keep too much of it from consuming the worlds. Still if there was a way to keep the destructive side of Darkness from continuing onward, I would love to find it and put a stop to that. As it stands now all we can do is fight off the creatures where we find them and keep an eye on the places they originate from.” It was a hard, never-ending task, but it had to be done to keep the worlds safe. “I am afraid I am in the same boat as you and your Society is. As it stands now there is no permanent fix to the problem at hand. Just temporary ones.”
He would see her begin to move towards the castle and follow. “Your research seems to line up with my own goals, but I wonder if we will ever be successful at what we seek or if it is something impossible to do.” The Darkness was as vast as the Light. Could it really be stopped and if so what would happen to the worlds if the Darkness was no longer there to balance out the Light. What would happen to people like him that relied on both for powers? Would they all be saved or would the Light consume and destroy them instead. There were many unknowns to this quest to stop darkness…So many….
That aside though, he had been asked a question, no? Well he supposed he could answer that. “I sensed the Darkness stirring here and came to see what was up. I stayed when I sensed another presence here. That presence turned out to be you, so here I am.”

Esha'ntarl nodded to Riku as he went over these things. Giving the young man some time to straighten his thoughts about it. Honestly, all these were just hypotheses of her research and understanding of it all. Whether if one was gone the other would be too remained questionable. Still, it was better to move towards such an idea than sit still. Pulling up her arms in a shrugging motion, Esha'ntarl replied: "even temporary fixes can mean a great thing. We do not know what is building up within these Realms and what these beings are planning." It just seemed for the better. "If we can hold these beings off long enough, even with temporary halts, we may be able to find the time to find a more permanent halt to it all." If there was even a way to end it all permanently, she did believe this was a thing that could not be ended forever. It was pretty much a part of existence. If one looked at it at the name these people gave it, then it all made sense too: Where there is Light, there will be Darkness. Moving towards the castle, she listened to how their researched lined up. Motioning even more as she spoke, she continued: "then it'd be in our interest to be able to share any knowledge we may come across. To further both our goals. Perhaps we may bring an end to the attacks upon our worlds at the end of this road and gain an understanding of these realms." Esha'ntarl was happy to have found someone that would listen and be interested in performing this research like her. Perhaps she should think on going back to recruiting people for the Society. Listening to how he could 'sense' the Darkness stirring and her presence, Esha'ntarl thought for a moment as she crossed her arms. The Mammet had now walked past her towards the door as it started to try and open it. "Then you can sense these things from far away?" she asked curiously, wondering what kind of tool or training that may require. Unless it was a World-thing. CooldownsMicroquake: Ended.

The young keyblade master would scratch his head a bit at the thought of a permanent end to the Heartless. Was that even possible? Could they really eventually find an end to the madness that was churning in the world? He had to wonder if it was as simple as continuing to push forward with their efforts as the other made it seem.
“Maybe you’re right. Perhaps if we keep pushing forward we can end up finding that permanent solution to the problem. It certainly isn’t impossible,” he would say, but would stay quiet about the part of what was building up in the world. He had a pretty good idea of where things were going and might end up if the pathways kept unfolding the way they did. However that was thoughts for another day and time.
Regardless of that, he would shift in his spot to begin to move to follow the other as she headed towards the castle along with the strange being that was with her. As the being moved forward towards the door, the keyblader would fall in step with the other as she spoke on sharing information. “Share what we know huh?” he would consider that for moment knowing very well he couldn’t tell her everything he knows, but if it was regarding the darkness and how to stop it then perhaps having a second head in on the matter wouldn’t be such a bad idea after all. “Alright. I can agree to sharing knowledge about the matter and working towards an end to it all,” the keyblader would say after a moment as he looked at the other with a smile.
A smile that would slowly shift into a small frown as he thought how to answer the question posed. “Yes. I usually can feel a pull or stir from the darkness from a distance signaling the movement of something there.” Though how exactly he got so good at sensing such things the keyblader….that was a story he was not interested in sharing at the moment, so he kept his answer simple and to the point.

It was nice to see the man agreed on these things. Of course, even a permanent solution may not be as permanent at times, but to find a calm for a long time would be in the interest of all good. Those that would see such things to ruin may always be there and may even at some point prevail, she had seen such things happen before. Yet, to find centuries of peace would be great and if it truly lasted for eternity, then it would truly feel like they had achieved the impossible. The zilart had lived for a long time, as an immortal being Esha'ntarl knew she would last for a long time to perhaps see change. The man had taken some time to think of these things, when he fully came to an agreement, she nodded with a smile. "While my society largely works in Vana'diel, some of us are moving to these other worlds," she continued calm, "some places seem much more heavily involved in the Darkness than others, so perhaps it can shed some light on what is causing the disturbances that is spreading across the many worlds."Listening to him explain how he can feel a pull or stir has Esha'ntarl think for a moment, "do you think it is a thing that can be taught or learned?" she asked curiously, hoping not to pry. Perhaps she was asking more information than was felt necessary thus far, but if it was an attainable skill, then it was one she would very much like to gain. Or at least understand if it can be “processed”. If she can create a mammet with the ability, it would already be a bonus. CooldownsVelocious Bade: One posts.
