Legacy of a Star Child

Chapter 74: Mobilization

Your report?

We cannot confirm, but he's definitely working with someone. What will you do Lucivito?

Should it matter? You and your partner seem to take joy in defying my orders even if I gave you some.

-Lucivito was seated in a rather extravagant room within the bowels of the darkness castle. It appeared to be some type of elaborate throne room with silver and black patterns carved into the walls and molding mostly composed of a stylized version of the Heartless insignia, among other things such as intricate star like shapes, and fleur-de-lis. The windows in the room were dark, but if someone was able to catch it just at the right angle, they would realize there was some color to the patterned glass that seemed to show hearts and other elaborate designs upon it, almost ceremonial and very ancient. The magistrate of the Heartless herself was seated on the throne, looking none too pleased with the one she was speaking to several feet away. The creature across from her down on one knee on the speckled marble floor, was a Trickmaster heartless. Usually a giant in size and stature, yet this one appeared to be much smaller, "human sized" for some reason. It was possible they might not fit in the room otherwise. A mild groan came from the fire magician, as they mumbled out in annoyance at the haughty woman shadow.-

Really? We are gonna do this?

Yes really. You are going to get your fellow heartless killed Trickmaster. You and Arc Behemoth have gone rogue one too many times in the midst's of our missions all due to this vendetta you have against-

Do you really think you have the right to talk!? Our leader was KILLED by that bastard. Our hope was taken away from us! Get that memorized real fucking quick lady, you are not Morgana, who ever put you in charge to begin with clearly fucked up big time. You sympathize with the enemy, if anyone's going to get us killed, its you.

-A dark smirk crept across the one on the thrones lips at the mention of Morgana, shaking her head and not even bothering to tell him. She had forgotten how head strong the fire brand tended to be.-

You are a child as always about these sorts of things. The nobodies, are not our enemy. Have you forgotten?

They became the enemy when they elected that troglodyte as there leader 10 years ago. We know he's being influenced, you can't convince us otherwise. And your protection of him is only making you more suspicious to us.

...Who ae you to decide who deserves saving and who does not? How high and mighty of you. I would hate to have to cut ties with you both, you really do not understand what is at stake with your decisions... You also do realize Morgana herself never showed hostility to them, even knowing Ansem was influencing the army to splinter, clearly for a reason. Would you criticize her today for that decision if she were still here? what would Alisse say?

...Don't you ever, try using the princess against me. She's lost more than any of us could ever imagine. Keep her name out of your fucking mouth.

-Half snarled the tall and lanky one across from Lucivito, seeming almost to glow with an emberous flame of its own, clearly displeased about using the teenage girl to prove a point. They seemed to ignore the woman heartless's other question however, leading to a snort from her.-

Then stop letting her down. Like you said, Morgana, is gone. And she expected you all to protect her little girl until she could realize her destiny as the new queen of this realm, the leader of darkness.

Morgana never said that, you did. Your forcing this on her. Leave her the hell alone and let her be happy. Let her see the world we can't. That was the Morgana I remember. She wanted Ali to see how beautiful the sky and the stars were, not sit here to rot with us in the dark.
