pmwww | | Re: Past Searching (17th Feb 11 at 8:59pm UTC) | | Mariya sighs with relief, glad Xildus was okay. "Let's take him back to the Ranch so he can rest."
Dante nods, picking him up. "So what happened?"
"Nothing worth mentioning, really." Mariya says, as she starts walking.
"So basically stuff you're used to?" Dante asked.
"Yep." Mariya says, chuckling a little. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: Past Searching (18th Feb 11 at 12:08am UTC) | | Shirma runs ahead to the Ranch, and by the time Mariya gets there, there is already a bed set up inside the house for Xildus to lie down. "I hope this will do," Shirma states after showing them the place.
(Sorry for being unresponsive so long. College has been giving me one heck of a run-around.) | |

pmwww | | Re: Past Searching (18th Feb 11 at 3:47pm UTC) | | (Same here. I barely rp anywhere these days with how much stuff that needs to get done.)
"Thank you." Mariya says.
Dante sets Xildus down in the bed, and walks out, watching the horizon.
"If he doesn't wake soon, I'll have to get someone to send the letter to Axel." Mariya says.
"He doesn't know your pregnant?" Dante asked, coming back into the house.
"I only found out after he left." Mariya says. She sits next to Xildus, petting him gently.
"I'll deliver it, if you want." Dante said. "That is if you can manage to stay out of trouble."
"Dante, the worst I can do while your gone is get a mad craving for food." Mariya says. | |

pmwww | | Re: Past Searching (19th Feb 11 at 12:48am UTC) | | Mariya was staring blankly at the Xildus, having a vision. In her hand was the letter, as if she was ready to hand it to Dante.
Mariya saw herself far into her pregnancy, leaving a restaurant with Serene and Dante. The entire marketplace was empty, void of people. Out of nowhere, Dante drew his guns and shot at a roof. Just after, Nobodies and fallen Angels surrounded them. Serene guarded Mariya.
Before she could see anything else, Dante shook her gently, snapping her out of the vision. "Mariya, Xildus is waking up." He said.
Mariya looked from Dante to Xildus, she'd let him know later. Right now, being sure Xildus was okay was more important. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: Past Searching (19th Feb 11 at 12:58am UTC) | | | Xildus slowly rises, seeming a little out of it but otherwise fine. He looks to Mariya, silent and tilting his head as if asking what happened. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: Past Searching (19th Feb 11 at 1:04am UTC) | | | Xildus is silent as he takes a moment to think things over. Silently, he gets out of the bed, walking around and taking in the scene a second time; this time, however, it's an expression of remembrance. | |

pmwww | | Re: Past Searching (19th Feb 11 at 1:10am UTC) | | "I'm taking that as a yes." Mariya says. She hands the letter to Dante, before opening a light portal. "That should take you to where Axel is." She says.
Dante nods, taking the letter, and looks to Xildus before he heads twords the portal. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: Past Searching (19th Feb 11 at 1:15am UTC) | | Xildus is silent as he steps outside, looking back around the familiar farm, the places where he played, the lake in which he swam, the river from which he fished. He knew what this place was.
Home. | |

Mariya smiles at Xildus. She was glad he remembered his past. She stood and left the room, leaving Xildus alone. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: Past Searching (19th Feb 11 at 1:24am UTC) | | Xildus is silent as he stands there, suddenly perking up as he hears someone approach him. Silent, he turns to see Shirma, who is as hesitant as he is.
"...Sidul?" Shirma finally asks.
Xildus is silent, and after a moment, he lowers his hood. He is crying slightly, and he runs into Shirma's arms.
"Oh, Sidul! It really is you!" Shirma responds, hugging him and having an emotional moment. | |

pmwww | | Re: Past Searching (19th Feb 11 at 2:10am UTC) | | | Mariya is outside, sitting against the barn as Shirma and Xildus(Sidul will take getting used to) re-unite. She can't help but think that Xildus may stay here. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: Past Searching (19th Feb 11 at 2:15am UTC) | | Shirma soon releases her hug on Sidul, smiling. "Hey, I know some people in town would want to see you."
Xildus smiles, nodding and going with her into the town. | |

pmwww | | Re: Past Searching (19th Feb 11 at 2:31am UTC) | | | Mariya hangs back, and sighs before setting the Gummi Ship to go to Radiant Garden. She went into Shirma's house, and sat in a chair, wondering if she could trigger the vision somehow again. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: Past Searching (19th Feb 11 at 4:31am UTC) | | An hour later, Xildus and Shirma return, both seeming very happy.
"I'm so glad you're back, Sidul," Shirma states.
"Kweh!"
"Come on, I'll get your old bed set up again! It'll be just like things were before the dark days!"
Xildus blinks, a bit surprised by this comment, but he follows her inside with little hesitation. It seems as if he might be staying after all. | |

pmwww | | Re: Past Searching (19th Feb 11 at 5:13pm UTC) | | Mariya seems heartbroken after she hears this. She notices Dante had returned.
Dante looks to Xildus. "It's his choice, Mariya."
"I know." Mariya says. She goes into Shirma's place. "Well, I suppose we'll be heading out. Thank you for helping Xildus get his memories back." | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: Past Searching (19th Feb 11 at 5:50pm UTC) | | Shirma looks to them with a smile. "No, thank you. It was you who restored his memory, who brought Sidul's memory back. It's you we have to thank."
Xildus doesn't respond, seeming to be in his bed and asleep already. He must have had a long day. | |

pmwww | | Re: Past Searching (19th Feb 11 at 7:30pm UTC) | | "It's the least I can do, for all he's done for me and the people of Radiant Garden." Mariya says, looking at Xildus sleeping. "Take good care of him, please."
"Common Mariya, I'm not a fan of long good-byes." Dante says.
Mariya sighs. "Tell Xildus he's always welcome in Radiant Garden, and I'll miss him." She says, starting to cry a little. She goes out of the house, and into the Gummi Ship.
Dante follows her, feeling a bit awkward. He pushes the buttons Mariya indicates, and the hatch to the Gummi ship takes off.

pmyahooaim | | Re: Past Searching (19th Feb 11 at 8:08pm UTC) | | Shirma is silent, feeling a bit terrible. She goes into Xildus's room to relay Mariya's message. And yet, something seems off...
"What?!" she exclaims in surprise, pulling back the covers to find a small pile of pillows and a letter...
Shirma,
For a long time, I have always wondered who I really am, where I really belong. And at long last, I have finally found what I had lost. This day has been one of the happiest in my existence, and little else would make me happier than to be able to spend the rest of my time here in Gysahl Fields.
And yet, while looking for what I believed to be my home all these years, I had only just reached a conclusion that I have been blind to for so long: I've been home all along.
I have made many new friends in my time away from Gysahl Fields: Xamira, Bleach, Mario, Sora, Kairi, Axel, Mariya, just to name a few. I've forged friendships I thought impossible to form, and now that I am at risk of losing them, I now understand how important they all are to me. I'm sorry, Shirma, but I just can't leave them for good.
I promise I will come and visit you and everyone else another time. Let them know that I will never forget them, nor will I forget the wonderful times we used to share as well.
Thank you for everything.
Sidul
Shirma is silent as she reads the letter, and after a few moments, she smiles and presses the letter to her heart, a single tear rolling down her cheek.
