@masteroffiremagic | Young Isa!

{ ☽ } That afternoon, Isa was still at the orphanage. He wondered if he'd see Lea today, but for now he was outside, sitting on a bench while reading a book. The day itself had seemed to pass by uneventfully, but Isa was alright with that. He was alone, only a few others outside, but he ignored them and focused on his book. He wasn't all that sociable, after all.

@shadowedoblivion | Young Isa!

{ ☽ } Somehow, Isa had ended up in the Castle That Never Was. When Unversed had attacked in the area he'd been in within his home of Radiant Garden, something had happened, and he went from there, to not only a different location, but it would seem a different time as well. Thankfully, none of the Organization members had found the young Diviner resting unconscious just at the entrance of the castle, but a few Dusks had. There were a few around him, watching curiously.

@tatarian-memory​ | Young Isa!

{ ☽ } Strange things had been happening a lot more lately. First those creatures -- the Unversed -- had started appearing everywhere in Radiant Garden. Life at the orphanage had gotten quite chaotic quite fast. Isa knew that castle had a lot, if not everything to do with it, and himself and his friend had been all too determined to get inside, find proof, so the adults would listen to them, but fate had other things in store for them. Or at least, him.

Something happened when those Unversed had attacked next, knocking Isa out, the blunet vanishing soon after. When he reappeared once more, not only was he in an entirely different place, but it seemed to be a different world as well. Perhaps even a different time? He landed not too far outside the Castle That Never Was, a few Dusks starting to surround the defenseless, unconscious boy.

{ ☽ } Saïx was watching his father now turned child while he worked in his room. A sigh left his lips as he did, but there was a fondness in his gaze. He perked up when he saw the other fall, standing from his chair. They had to keep quiet. Zack’s presence was hopefully still a secret, and he wanted it to stay that way.

He knelt down, gently picking him up, blanket and all. “It’s alright, don’t cry. Why don’t we relax and have a snack, like some cookies?” Saïx had a bit of a sweet tooth himself, always had.

{ ☽ } “You’re not my father!“

The words still rang in Isa’s ears as he ran throughout the city, waves of guilt crashing in on him. He’d been doing nothing lately but fight with Lea, when the other had gotten himself some new friends at school. Isa… wasn’t able to do that as easily. He had tried at first, but now at school he mostly kept to himself at the library, when he wasn’t with Lea. That’s how the fights had started. He’d become jealous and lonely. They’d usually make up at some point in time, but Isa’s mood swings had been getting worse and worse, until he’d snapped at Zack one day before running away from home.

Tears threatened to spill from Isa’s eyes as he ran, not really sure where he was going. His emotions were high, most of it guilt and anger, but at himself. He’d regretted those words the moment they slipped from his lips, but it was too late. He couldn’t take it back now.

It felt like he was losing everything, everyone he cared about.

As a group of Heartless of various types let him around the corner, Isa’s eyes narrowed. He hadn’t quite mastered summoning his Claymore, but as his anger grew and he entered Berserk mode, that changed. He hacked and slashed at the Heartless, cries of anger leaving the boys lips and tears falling from his eyes. It was only the second time Isa had gone full Berserk mode, but this was worse than before. Even as the Heartless came at him, he hacked and slashed without mercy. He was starting to get tired, but the Heartless had him cornered and he wasn’t giving in.

{ ☽ } It hadn't been too terribly long since Isa had been saved from Xehanort's grasp. For the most part, he'd been hiding in his room, or seen with Lea. He hadn't expected to be welcome with open arms, but he had him, and he was what he needed, at least right now.

Unfortunately, that particular day, he'd been dragged off to help the Radiant Garden restoration project. It wasn't exactly on his top list of things to do. In fact, he never planned on setting foot in this place ever again. It brought back too many memories, and very few of them were good. He had helped for a little while, but after a while, he'd decided he'd just needed a break, to be away from all the happy, smiling faces of the people who were helping. He just... needed to be by himself.

He found himself simply wandering the streets, and it didn't take long to get lost in thought. He easily stood out in any crowd, still wearing the Organization coat. His hair was still long and blue, but he'd had thoughts of cutting it, wanting to get rid of any traces of Xehanort that might be left. He sighed as he walked. What was stopping him from up and leaving right now? He didn't want to be here. He could go back to Yen Sid's tower anytime, but... perhaps he did want to help the light, even with something like this.

{ ☽ } There had been a change in Saïx recently, ever since rumors of an intruder having being spotted in the castle had surfaced. If anything, he almost looked happy. They couldn't feel, as they'd been told, so that couldn't be it. The change in behavior was somewhat odd, especially considering he hadn't been seen with Axel in a long time, aside from meetings. The mask was up well enough with the Superior, but it hadn't gone unnoticed elsewhere.

That day, the Diviner had spent most of it in his room with said intruder, not only keeping him a secret but keeping him hidden in his room away from prying eyes. The only other member who was aware of who and where he was was Axel. When he'd had all of the reports for the day, Saïx made his way out. He needed to report in with Xemnas once more. It would be foolish of him to think that by now, Xemnas still wasn't aware of a possible intruder, but if he could keep him away and safe for a little while longer… perhaps they could soon be free.

Starter Call! / @empty-freeshooter

 { ☽ } Isa had been doing all he could upon being saved, to avoid being in the same room with the current residents of Yen Sid's tower. He'd busy himself with missions, or if he had one that didn't take too long, he'd spend more time in the world he'd been sent to, exploring it. He'd also been training in magic recently, rather than using his Claymore all the time, which had been going rather well. Heavy amounts of anxiety and guilt riddled him around the others, knowing or at least feeling like he still wasn't even trusted among them, and really, he didn't blame them. He still had the tracker, the X-shaped scar in between his eyes. It was unfortunately permanent, but... despite all that, he did want to help the light, even if he felt like sometimes, he just didn't belong there either.

Today had been a mission day that hadn't particularly taken too long, so he'd spent some time wandering about. He didn't get to explore too many worlds during his time as a Nobody, so he genuinely liked doing it now as well. He still wore the coat of the Organization so it made him stand out a little, but then, so did his blue hair. He'd cut it since then though, and his eyes were back to their normal shade of green as well, all signs of Xehanort gone from him. He ignored the - mostly wary - stares he occasionally got as he walked along, curiosity in his gaze.
