Apprentice Week Day 1: Flowers||Fountain
@apprenticeweek
It was a rainy day when he said goodbye. It was a few days after the fabled Keyblade War and a solitary gold eye was observing the happenings in Radiant Gardens before he moved onto the next phase of his task. He felt his heart clench at the sight of his fellow guards eagerly welcoming a newbie into the fold,taking his place and started to wonder if all of this was worth it.
Was he truly Braig back then or was it Luxu the whole time? Did Braig even have a personality or was it all a sham? He closed his eyes and when he opened then, he was hunched over a fountain, the very same fountain he fell into while trying to master his gravity powers for the first time and let out a humorless laugh. Oh how times were simple back then. Back before this nonsense with Hearts and talks of Keyblade Wars.
Xigbar slowly got to his feet and looked at the place he once called home, having no one else. He kept telling himself it would do no good to get attached because eventually he was going to leave it behind anyway, but he listened to his heart-such fickle things- and slowly grown to care for his fellow apprentices. He closed his eye again and placed a hand over his heart as darkness swirled around him. “May my heart be my guiding key.”
