Wayward

If a game had a town or a city, it wasn't uncommon to find little to no NPCs walking around. There was no need for that extra information in the game that wasn't needed. Unless an NPC was needed for a quest marker, what reason was there for one to exist? Kingdom Hearts was the same way, save for a few people here and there that would offer silly information or easter eggs.

Yet here you were standing in the Market Place of Twilight Town. It felt like it was some type of field day, there were so many people walking around. Adults, men and women chatting with one another, couples walking hand in hand. Teenagers hanging out on yet another summer day. Small children rushed past you into the Sandlot behind.

Looking over your shoulder, your blood became ice cold when you realized that some how, some way, you managed to have lost Seifer and Roxas. There wasn't a reason to be petrified on losing either men, but ...

Glancing back to the market, you were the nervous one about being here.

Out of place, not one to belong in this world or universe to begin with. You lost two important characters in this entire place, though both knew Twilight Town like the back of your hands, so did you. But if the universe was acting like a normal world, well what other surprises could happen to you?

"Roxas? Seifer?" Cupping your hands to shout their names, some people were beginning to give you funny looks. Their stares became longer when people noticed how oddly dressed you were, especially the gauntlet look of your hand.

Sighing loudly, you let your arms fall to their sides. Recognizing that you were beside the item shop from the game, you leaned against the brick wall and slid down to the ground. Playing with the wayfinder, you felt yourself feeling just a little defeated.

"I wonder where some of the others are.." You whispered softly to the trinket, "Like Sora, Riku.. Kairi... hell even Axel." Your mind wandered to other characters, Cloud, Leon, Yuffie, Tifa... then there were the other characters - Auron should be around some where right? So was Yuna, Paine, Rikku... Tidus and Wakka..

Hell, even Sephiroth was somewhere.

Looking up at the twilight sky, you wondered why you were plucked out of your world and thrown into this one. You wondered if other teenagers or adults were thrown else where, into their ideal fantasy worlds.

Poor assholes who were thrown into Game of Thrones then, huh?

"Man, you keyblade people are such downers."

Shuffling around, to look upward to the top of the item shop, it was all a blur before black blob jumped down onto the ground. Lifting to your feet you saw that everyone was frozen in time, that the world was suddenly put on pause.

Swallowing thickly you fell into a position that felt natural and felt Starlight came into your hand.

Laughter ensued from the dark figure, the Origination XII cloak was easily recognizable. "You see, when Xemnas told me that he had found someone interesting, I thought that he had lost it." With one simple pull of the hood, you found yourself staring into eerie yellow amber eyes. "No way could someone like you be.. interesting, but here I am, wrong."

"Xigbar.. or is it Braig?"

Xigbar, or Braig, laughed to the point that he shook, shaking his head. "Come now, I was giving you a compliment. Not every day that someone can break people out of the Darkness. I mean, saving Sora Copy #2 and a Angsty Teen? Bravo kid, sounds like your the main protagonist of this game."

Blowing hot air through your nose, you narrowed your eyes. Lunging forward, Xigbar was already gone. You felt a breeze behind you and suddenly the sound of a gun being cocked was beside your head. Of course Xigbar didn't use a gun but his cross bow based weapon sure did sound like it to you.
