Of course, there were more waiting for him outside too. He rolled his head, cracking his neck before taking a stance in preparation to fight. There were only two here. Easy.

Aced reared his keyblade, then cut the air ahead of him, sending a barreling shock of sheer force towards the two heartless before him. He did so again, until his swings were sharpened and the air currents stung even himself. The heartless were barely budging still, and Aced slammed his keyblade into the ground in frustration, creating a fissure and a bombardment of rocks towards them.

This wasn't enough, though, and he decided to leap towards the pink possessor, shearing it into nothing but petals and a broken umbrella. The heartless disappeared in no time following the attack.

He then turned to the circus balloon. What an odd looking thing. It didn't take much effort for the foreteller to tear this thing apart either. It popped easily enough on the edge of his keyblade, given enough force to slice through it.

Then, Aced looked at the mess he had made... wasn't this just typical? He was always so rash and unthinking of his surroundings wasn't he... The foreteller sighed and desummoned his keyblade, then slowly worked to putting most of the rocks and boulders back into place. Though, the gash in the ground would probably not soon recover completely.

Once he stopped panicking, Aced summoned his keyblade and began thrashing at the invading heartless. His pure drive came from his days of fighting off Heartless for a living, and protecting the people of his home. He was sure that Ava and Gula, and Invi and Ira, should they be on the island somewhere as well, felt the same way too...

His keyblade fell with heavy thuds as he swung it into and through the heartless, cleaving the Bitter Macaron straight in half, and shearing the Bouquet and Rose to shreds. These were delicate heartless. He could see that. Even so, he fought with all of the ferocity he had kept inside him since his younger days. The only threat to Aced would be the Chocolate Statue. It seemed to let his keyblade sink into it, hardly damaging the oozing thing.

After a few hacks and slashes, with all of the other heartless vanished, Aced was frustrated. He raised his keyblade, and with all his strength, thrust it down, clipping its wings. Next, he slashed through the statue’s horns. It would completely break apart sooner or later, he was sure. The next hardened parts of the statue were its head and arms. The rest, it seemed were melty and unresponsive to his brute strength. He aimed for these weak spots, decapitating the statue before it had a chance of attacking him. Finally, the foreteller disarmed it - of its weapons as well as its literal arms.

All of the heartless had vanished within his vicinity, but he couldn’t help but go looking for more.

Hey, diary, what’s up? Just kidding, I know you can’t answer back. Another day, another chub. But Aced isn’t complaining haha. Except he is.

Aced stormed into our room angrily, which was kinda hot. He slammed the door. Already I was impossibly hard. Thinkin I was about to get a little somethin somethin I replied with something sexy and flirtatious. “Oh ho, eager to slap these barbs are you?” I said, with a sexy waggle of my mask.

“This is no laughing matter,” he replied sternly “Tell me the truth. Do you have the missing page?”

My mask slipped off my face and fell onto the floor. I was ashamed. I really did have the missing page. “Yeah,” I said, looking down at my feet.

“Oh. OK. Thank you for being honest with me.” When I looked up again, he had gone back to his beautiful sexy kind smile. That was the first major fight we’ve had as foretellers. I was genuinely so stressed out I didn’t think I would survive.

Later that day we were in the stupid Daybreak Town. Aced and I wanted to take a walk in the market together alone but stupid ugly Ava joined us.

It took her seven minutes just to get there. I sighed in exasperation.

Choosing to ignore her and focus on my man, I casually threw my arm around Aced’s shoulder. I think it was a pretty cool and swag move on my part because Aced leaned in and put his head on my shoulder. It took all of my self control not to buss right then and there but I knew I had to remain chill. Feeling bold I placed a kiss on his head. Ava applauded softly. She truly is a gay ally.

After the walk Aced and I went back to the meeting room. “Where were you all?” Ira asked us sternly once we arrived.

“I don’t know.” Aced said. Ira took his mask off and walked away.

Whatever. If you’re too weak to show her what she needs to know then that’s your problem, not mine. I just hope you know delaying that is a privilege and it puts her in danger if anything goes wrong.

*Watches him leave* *You bet your ass Aced is letting the bear sleep in his room tonight* *In fact, he’s going to his room right now*

And a good mother would raise her to be a menace. What happens to her if something happens to you? She starves alone in the wilderness because you never taught her how to hunt?

*Holds her a little closer*

Cease this, now. She is far too young to know how to kill on her own. We wrestle every day. That ought to be enough for now.

[melursusursinus-blog]

Well how is she going to hunt? Do you feed her? What about when she’s grown? How will she defend herself when you’re not with her? How can she prove her skills in the wild if you don’t teach her any skills?

*Starting to get ticked off*

Yes. I feed her for now. As I said, when she is older, I will be sure that she is well equipped to defend herself.

[ilostmyemail-blog]

As it is she would die out there. She needs to learn to use the weapons at her disposal.

[melursusursinus-blog]

Weapons...?

She... isn’t supposed to be “out there”, on her own... She is only a cub.

I am not sure you understand how development works.

[he approaches and crouches down in front of them so that he can pet her … very … gently]

Aww, who’s a good apex predator?

*Silently lets him pet the bear cub* *she stirs a little bit, but stays sleeping*

I suppose, that is what she is. She has not proven her skills in the wild, but I believe in her.

[ilostmyemail-blog]

Are you going to teach her to kill?

[melursusursinus-blog]

Um... No, not any time soon, at least.

Some day, perhaps, when she is older.

*The question unsettles him at first, but then, he supposed she might need that kind of knowledge some day*

Well where’s the bear.

We are both outside at the moment. She is taking a short nap.

I’m here.

*Is startled, but holds the bear close to him, barely budging so that she doesn’t wake up*

W..welcome.

*He relaxes a little bit, enough to let Venitas pet her*
