The world felt like it didn't have a sense of time, but the sun still shone mercilessly down on the sandy terrain. A person had been on the ground on one of the crossroads of all the dead keyblades, seeming to not move at all. He had appeared there in a flash of light a few minutes ago, his body seeming to still be trying to get back to reality, just like his mind. He gasped for a moment, his body finally moving upwards, the man sitting up carefully as eyes started to adjust to his surroundings. He felt awful, his head hurting like someone had slammed him with a big hammer right on his skull. He rubbed his head slightly, trying to adjust his eyes to the WAY to bright surroundings. ... what happened? Where am I?
Well, it was obvious he was alone right now in.. wait. He blinked, his eyesight finally adjusting, focusing on one of the broken keyblades next to him. He moved back out of reflex, a few images of him being stepped with that kind of weapon hitting his head, only for him to hit an other sword right next to him and knocking it over in the process. His head turned, looking at the metallic object right next to his hand, his fingers carefully touching the blade. An other wave of fuzzy memories hit him, slowly starting to create a full picture, the male turning completely in his sitting position, to find himself sitting in front of an ocean of these swords stuck into the ground. He remembered his recent past, memories of long ago knitted into them as well, though those were rather unclear at many points. Wait.. that's right. I am...Lauriam.He carefully stood up, blue eyes looking down at his hands now, the man also realizing he wasn't wearing the black coat anymore, but his old attire. The organization... yes. I was part of the organization and before that...
He looked at the keyblades again, a deep frown on his face.
“A Dandelion. I remember...”

Why was she here? No one was here anymore.
This place... It was the end of begining, the begining of the future. Everyone turned their weapons upon each other. The Unions turned on each other-the Fortellers along with them. Their but each other down until all that was left was them, Dandelions in the wind. The last lights to carry foward into the future. This place... She wasn't sure how she felt about it. But... She knew it was the source of one of her greatest pains. So many hearts lost, so many they coudn't save. She had only been able to save one. Her close friend and even that was so close. She had done her best to make their life better after that, however she could.
But had she done the right thing back then?
A spark of light in the distance brought her from her thoughts. Light, in this dead place? From what? The most she ever saw hear was the occasional heartless... Even THAT was rare these. This place was only a remenent of what it once was. All that was left were graves marked only by keys in the dirt. It was the only proof that the people that fell here once walked the worlds. For many it was the only proof they had ever been in it. So what was that light? Their shoudn't be anything anymore, let alone something so warm. But regardless of why... She had to see where it was coming from. A lone light amongst all the emptiness...
As she waided through the winds and seemingly endless dirt of the world she came upon a familar mane of pink hair in the distance. As she got closer she saw the face that went with it, the face of an old friend and ally.
"Lauriam... Is that you?"
She came a bit closer, beginning to offer her hand before pausing. The Master's warning rang in her mind. She wanted to trust her allies fully. After all back then they all stood side by side in their goal. The goal Ava gave them to carry light foward, to make everything right. But... What had the Master meant? What could possibly be wrong with Lauriam? He looked a bit older sure but he still appesred to be himself. Of course she hadn't heard him speak yet ether. It could be anything but... She wanted to belive the Master was wrong. Despite his clairvoyance she trusted in her friends.. her fellow Dandelions. She heard his muttering, he remebered that... Then he had to be himself.
"Lauriam... Are you alright?"

Lauriam had just been reborn, so of course he felt a little dizzy and lost, still. In his condition, hallucinations might make sense to him, but what he was about to witness could never be part of a dream, could it? He was about to try and get up, when he heard footsteps in the distance. His head snapped in the direction, the dandelion trying immediately to get ready to defend himself, when he stopped in mid motion, eyes widening at what he saw in front of him. It was one of his old friends and comrades. A soft voice, longblack hair and those eyes.. She looked just like he remembered her, not having aged a bit.
“Skuld….?”She reached out her hand, but suddenly hesitated, looking at him with a uncertain expression. He was always good at reading expressions and the one she gave him looked almost scared. Lauriam tried to focus and not get lost in all these thoughts he had swimming in his mind right now. All of this was so confusing and almost to good to be true in his mind. He put a hand to his head, shaking it violently in hopes of getting that damn headache to stop that torture him right now. He didn’t care to answer, taking Skukd’s hand and pulling her down to him, his hands grabbing her and pulling her into a big hug. “ Skuld… I don’t care if this is an illusion or not. I.. I am so happy to see you!”He didn’t care that he was acting different than normal. Lauriam wanted to believe that this is real and that one of his friends from the old times was here as well and not dead. He had already lost to many of his friends and family. “I.. I will be fine. Now I will.”Skuld

He was happy to see her? Skuld coudnt help but smile at the revelation. The words helped ease her worry about his place in the world, and the words of the Master to her. He seemed distraught, like he was recovering from something. But she still felt Lauriam-both in his words and how he handled himself. She was glad, so glad to see what she saw as proof the Master had been wrong. She had no doubts her friend had been through a lot, after all she had as well. But he was still here. She could feel it. He wasn't some twisted version of himself as the Master had made it seem. He was just 'Lauriam' nothing else. But that left the question... What had the Master meant? Was it Lauriam's current physical state? Or had the warning been closer to a warning about Brain? She needed to find out but... Right now she only cared about her friends well being.
"Lauriam... Be still let me..."
But her fellow Dandelion had already pulled her into a tight hug before she could see to his treatment. A serene smile crossed her face and tears came down her eyes-the contact making the fact her friend was here all the more real. She returned his hug with one of his own, holding her friend close.
"I missed you to Lauriam, don't worry... This is real"
Whatever he was going through it was clearly more than simply physical. He also had a mental burdan though she coudnt say what. But she was here now-she would be here to comfort her friend... Whatever it was she would help him recover.
"You must have been through a lot. Here, I can at least relieve some of the physical stress of it all"
She would pull herself back and, placing a hand on his shoulder summoned the energy for the familiar Cura spell, the healing energy flowing from her hand into Lauriam himself, hopefully easing at least some of his stress. After the spell ran it's course she would look back to him with a concerned smile, hoping it had done what she intended. The only solution to any mental pain would be to spend time with him and help him recover-this was the best she could do until they got to that point.
"Feel any better?"

I am coming for you. Please wait for me.
Lauriam just couldn't stop himself. He was usually more reserved about certain emotions, fear being one of them. He didn't want his friends to worry so much about him, but Lauriam was almost certain it didn't matter in this situation. Skuld was already worried because of his condition, the young woman trying to calm him down with soothing words and a healing-spell she knew. When had been the last time he was being comforted by someone? Those years as a nobody really had messed up his head, especially with Xehanort having such power over his mind and body. That the man was able to erase his memories in such a extend was pretty.. whats the word... ah, scary. Yes, it was scary. That man had been a normal human once in his life and reached such a amount of pure power with the help of the darkness. Well, his nobody had reached a certain strength as well and even though he was human again, he could still fill darkness tingling in his heart. Something about him was different now from this experience.
He was snapped out of his thoughts, when Skuld talked to him again, asking if he felt any better now. Well, the hug and the spell really had helped. He wasn't feeling so heavy anymore and hugging someone he cared about actually put a little smile on his face. “Yes. Thank you, Skuld.”
He locked eye-contact with her, his expression becoming rather worried now. “What are you doing here of all places? How did you get here?”
The graveyard was more than dangerous,especially since this place had been covered by darkness not so long ago. The lights and the darkness Xehanort had gathered clashed here. Remaining Nobodies and Heartless, maybe even Unversed ,could appear here. He tried to stand up again, releasing the tight hug around the woman, shaking his head slightly. “You.. you have to get out of here. The graveyard is to dangerous. The Realm of Darkness is still connected to this world.”
His biggest fear was to lose someone he liked again and Skuld was in potential danger. Also.. wasn't there someone missing? He gasped, eyes scanned the area again, the man calling out into the distance. “Elrena! Elrena, where are you?!”
His partner in crime was not here! Hadn't she been with him, before he.. well... He couldn't remember, but Elrena had always been by his side, since the day he met her. No one answered, though. “She is not here.... I.. I have to search for her!”
