[There's what looks like the aftermath of an earthquake, rocks and debris strewn around. Kain kneels on the ground, clutching his head.]

What- what is that? Who's there?

'You will obey my commands.'

[The voice of Zemus is deep and evil, but to Kain it's also compelling. The figure of Golbez comes striding into view, towering and tall as ever. Kain shakes his head repeatedly, but already he feels the darkness settling inside him, quiet and shadowy. Deceptively soothing.]

No! Leave me!

'You will obey my commands... through him. Golbez. Take him. We have a use for this pawn. He has untapped darkness, waiting to be used.'

...stop... stop this...

[It's inescapable, he knows. Soon he'll lose his very will, the worst thing that could happen. Kain falls upon the ground, struggling mentally to win a losing battle.]

[Ugh. Not only was he beaten in a fight by some younger girl, he also bears the feelings of coming out of darkness. Again. It never gets any easier. There was something else, something odd about things said in a couple of encounters he's had, but he doesn't feel like bringing any of that up just yet. Kain doesn't really... want to face any people right now, but he feels he owes this apology as an act of penance. So he'll do this and then he intends to vanish. Forever if he can manage.]

[He'd vowed never to turn Dark again, and now look what's happened.]


To anyone I've harmed or spoken harshly toward, I apologize. There's no excuse for my recent behavior...

[Hesitates, he has no idea how to properly end this.]

...forgive me.

[A little boy with spunky hair and wide blue eyes is suddenly staring into the feed with a pouting face; he looks like he's been crying, actually. You might not recognize him without the trademark tribal tattoo on the side of his face. Until he opens, his mouth, that is.]

MAAAAATRON! Where are you?! They... they said I could find you if I used this thing!

[He leans in really close, almost bonking his forehead on the screen.] Are you in there?! Come ou~t! The people here are weird and I don't like it...! OH! And I saw someone start a fire even though they're NOT S'POSED TO! You're gonna put 'em in the corner, right, Matron? RIGHT?! I did good, huh?!

[...Except when he doesn't get an answer after a few moments of wait, his eyes started welling up with tears and he begins to wibble.]

This thing is STUPID! It doesn't work at all!

[ When the communicator screen flashes on, one has a perfect view of a clear star-studded sky — but that is all. The fierce sound of monstrous snarling and roaring is heard, an effeminate voice wavering between pleading and commanding in a thick and unrecognizable tongue amidst the beastly noises. All are seemingly coming from sources not far from where the phone device itself lies. After a few seconds of merely the din of the struggle playing, a large shadow falls over the picture and the loud flapping of leathery wings is heard, and then another roar followed by a woman crying out in shock and pain. Glistening white snow sprays over the video feed and the silver-haired head of a girl appears. The young woman lifts her head from the snow bank, but her violet eyes don't seem to even notice the communicator, much less that it's currently recording and streaming her live at this very moment. She's looking up over her shoulder and the picture swings as she rolls herself onto her back, disrupting the snow the phone was on.

In this new angle, a dragon the size of a very large horse with scarlet wings and smooth, black scales scrabbles over the snow, snarling angrily. Gray wisps of smoke and steam emit from his nostrils as the creature tries to keep itself from sinking down into the snow, as though it's never experienced such weather before. The silver-haired girl has propped herself up where she sits and she glances about wildly before shouting in the Common Tongue at people out of view:
]

Stay away! Go inside your homes! He will swallow you whole if you stand anywhere near him! Ser Kain! Ser Kain!

[ And then she is rising to her feet again, the heavy furs she is wrapped in spraying snow again over the communicator. As she moves, her hand hits the screen of the phone and the picture changes violently again as the device is picked up. The girl squints briefly at the viewers before she gives a frustrated huff and the video feed is promptly cut. ]

[ "If you have anything worse than that Chimera, I'll gladly fight it."

Daenerys understands what honor means to a knight; nonetheless, she's struggled with refraining from exchanging heated words with Kain ever since the end of the Hades Cup. Though she's unable to decide if she's angry at him or afraid for him, either way she is quickly losing the battle against her urge to say something on the matter of the dragoon all but inviting the god of death to have another go at killing him — and apparently again, if that attempt fails, then yet again should the third try fail too. Notably, she's very much aware that it isn't her place to reprimand him, especially since he believes so fiercely that this is how he's going to atone for his past. Still... Kain should know better. It's obvious Hades doesn't fight honorably.

Once Kain recovered from the injuries he'd sustained during the tournament, he and Dany left the Coliseum for the Land of Dragons. It was indeed a disappointment, the planet's name seemingly an obvious misnomer, and there were no clues as to where Rhaegal, her third dragon, was. They moved from planet to planet, the Targaryen girl taking the time to ensure Kain kept his strength up, but they didn't find the green and bronze infant dragon.

Although her hair had steadily been growing back since she emerged from the funeral pyre that birthed her dragons, in Halloween Town, her hair is as long and as flowing as it always was. Her skin is encrusted with hard scales that remind her of white opals and her fingernails are more akin to black claws. She looks like one of the many horrific monsters here, complete with long spiraled onyx horns protruding from either side of her head and short spines trailing down her back. At first, she was afraid, but after seeing what the rest of the world of Halloween Town looked like, she almost felt relieved about her transformation. Even the dark, delicately boned wings on her back and the thin tail aren't out of place. She just hopes this isn't permanent, because between the search for Rhaegal remaining to be in vain and Kain's insistence on putting himself in danger again, Daenerys can't help but feel discouraged as she stands at the peak of Curly Hill, overlooking the dark graveyard with Drogon at his usual perch on her shoulder. The last thing she needs is a new look.

[The video shows Soubi against a nondescript white background, probably the wall of a room somewhere. He is, as usual, looking very well put-together for someone doing what he is about to do. His long hair falls around his shoulders in nonchalant elegance; his tight turtleneck shirt completely hides the bandages he wears around his neck. His long, lean torso ends in low-slung, tight jeans. When he speaks, his tone is so businesslike that he might as well be advertizing an old piece of furniture he has for sale.]

If anyone on this network is willing to trade money or certain supplies, please contact me. I’m willing to barter the use of my body or skills for a time to get them. I can guarantee that the trade will not be a waste.

[And with that, the feed turns off. Yes, Soubi has decided that he needs to earn some money for himself and Ritsuka. And he's doing it the best way that comes to mind.]

[Immediately following the tournament, Kain's mind is on one thing alone: Getting stronger. It doesn't matter how beaten up he is. The tournament has been a worthy challenge, but also a sign that he still has a long way to go by his own impossible standards.]

[Everyone should be happy anyway, because he actually is bothering to communicate where he's going this time.]


I've training to see to.

[That said, Kain shuffles along, trying to sneak away from the arena before anyone can stop him.]

[Hey, look! It's a Zell! Who... happens to look like total crap. He hasn't even bothered to style his normally spunky hair that he's oh so proud of. Really, he's looking pretty bruised and battered, and you can probably even see some of the bandages that are covering almost the entirety of his torso. Right now, though, he doesn't care how bad he looks, because he's desperate for some freedom.]

Guys...! Can I ask you a favor?

So, I've been locked up in my room for the past few days, alright? My personal guard ain't lettin' me leave 'cause I need to rest. [Cue some exasperated eyerolling.] Anyway, I'm really really really REALLY frickin' bored. I mean, I got a handheld gamin' system in here with me and a TV, but dude. I need to be outside, man. D'you hear me? I'm goin' CRAZY--!

[Whoopsie, he got a little too loud. He clears his throat and stays quiet, staring intently away from the feed, as if he were expecting someone to come barging in. After a moment, he relaxes and looks back at the screen.]

Just... someone come break me outta here, please?!

Private Filter → Seifer Almasy )

[With a deep sigh, Zell sits back against his pillow until he thinks he hears the door start to open. He lets out a squawkish sound and flips the communicator off as quickly as he can in the midst of trying to dig under his covers and pretend like he's been sleeping the whole time.]

I personally think a Ball would be great. All the pretty dresses, the dancing, the food-

Oh! Being a princess and all, I know how hard it is to pick out the perfect dress. But I've got lots of experience. So! If any of you ladies need help picking one out, I am offering my expertise to those who need it!

[Kain stares into the video screen for a moment. Then he moves the device to show off that he's got a small cat-sized black and red dragon with him, who is acting very agitated and occasionally snapping at him.]

[Kain glances down at the dragon. The fierceness of the little one doesn't bother him at all.]


...it's all right... I still mean no harm...

[He looks again at the device.]

I don't know where he even came from, but... I feel that this one is no Heartless or other threat. It's my responsibility as a dragoon to look after him. Perhaps I've finally been given a new purpose.
