Something shifted, in the very air around her (lightning), as Kairi overlooked from beside her. A prescience; a warmth and then the silence that spread about the span of nothingness. The youth shivered, folding her arms across her chest, while, watching as some manner of magic was unfolding right before her eyes. Unlike the Soldier, she could not remember what had been revealed about the nature of the universe, in actuality the source of its power, wherein, each and every Prime brought into existence, could tap for resources, and, in turn create and shape what they desired. That was the something missing from the chained links of her memories.
“Omni,” she mumbled, again most likely not for the last time. For some reason that name came again, and, she remembered. Her mind flashed back, away from the White briefly, and, back into the Darkscape. An endless span of nothingness much like the Nexus, but, completely void of life, of any power save for the voice that spoke and the figure that lingered as just a silhouette in the shadows around every corner. She had been there, or at least partially there before she was here . . . and yet could do nothing to answer the calling as words danced through her mind, almost, mocking her very existence.
‘This is Omniliumn’ Omni said. ‘ . . . There are others. Of course, they too desire Omnilium.’ It ties everything together . . . the girl recalled, staggering back head-first into reality as the biting cold swept over her again, and a bright light swirled around Lightning’s hand. Kairi understood, just a bit more what the Soldier wanted . . . mainly because she could relate to wanting to get back to her own home, however, there was something far more sinister in Lightning’s direct way. I know that look . . . that longing . . . everything about it told of familiarity.
Lightning sought an escape, but, at the moment Kairi believed that there might not actually be one. Regardless of the truth behind the matter, and no matter how cold, or aggressive the response to her being there was, she had no intent in actually leaving. Not while she believed that there was any chance of Lightning becoming lost. In both the literal, and metaphorical sense, the path she treaded with such determination, worried the girl. And, although Kairi might not have been able to explain why she felt so drawn to that need and longing, she could say that she cared enough not to let someone lose their heart to an impending darkness.
The White, it almost shimmered, flickering brighter for a moment, thereafter, steadying and calling forth some unknown presence. Kairi blinked. Clothes appeared, coats lined with great furs warped and skidded about the ice at her feet. Instinctively, Kairi was already reaching for one as Lightning advised her to do so at any rate. She flushed, realizing that she had not asked permission, yet, it seemed given now that Lightning herself had wrapped one around her body to bask in its warmth. Her own hand grasped one, brought it closer to her chest, and, then, she dressed as well, sighing in relief as warmth crept up all around.
Why does she . . . want to be alone? The teenager wondered, but, would put no words to that thought. Yes, she was a tad frightened of her new ‘friend,’ but that would not stop her from venturing across that threshold in front of them. Not even the cold could do that, and, no matter what lay ahead, she did, truthfully, want to help, in her own way.
“I think . . .” she began peering up at her senior, and looked away out in to the vastness that was the White. “You said you don’t want to look out for me, but, I think you need someone to stop you . . .” and Kairi did not elaborate unto exactly what she meant, because in part, she didn’t know herself. Yet, it seemed right to say. “I’m a healer,” she added, “I’ll leave combat to you, but don’t except me to run away if you’re hurt. You can’t ask me to abandon you.”
Why did I say that . . . I don’t know if I can . . . Kairi looked at her hands and they glowed with a soft energy. That was right too. Yes, she was a healer, and, she could tend to wounds if given enough time. How this ability came to her she couldn’t exactly remember, but, she had brought someone back once: the boy with no name, back from a darkness that consumed his heart. If she could do that, she could do this too.
After telling in turn, Kairi pulled up the hood of her own coat and followed right on after Lightning. Her steps echoes as footfalls once or twice and thereafter vanished all from the realm.
