[Center][i][b][h2]Assistant Magi Gale[/h2][/b][/i] [sup]"I still think in the end, we'll all be okay." - Gale [/sup][/center] Gale timidly stood still while Kupori and everybody ran off to the Pines barren his fears were magnified by the worries and fears of everybody else, but he swallowed his fear and decided to follow his internal instinct and check up on his mother and the library, while he wanted to make sure Kupori and her father was safe, but Gale's own worry for his mother and the other Magis outweigh his worry for Kupori and her father, at least the Crusaders were stronger and more battle ready compared to the Magi. Gale started running to the Library. After a few moments of running he can see the tall roofs of the library and the window to his room. But suddenly pools of inky blackness surrounded the young Magi, as he noticed the darkness he let out a yelp and stopped running to investigate it. But suddenly as he got closer little yellow orbs revealed themselves and suddenly little shadow like creatures shuffled their way to him, Gale couldn't help but let out a gasp as one tried to claw him but he backed up far enough to avoid the razor sharp claws. Gale ran around the shadows using their pained and awkward movements to his advantage, if they didn't resonated darkness he would feel pity for the shadows. But before he could make it to the library, the building was crawling with those creatures it looked like the darkness itself absorbed the library itself, only the very top of the building was left unconsumed. Gale let out a pained sigh and he quickly considered and then abandon his thought of making his way in and seeing if his mother was within. Gale looked up the building and seeing that the last of the building was consumed. Gale looked down in despair as he considered laying down and letting himself be consumed by his emotions. But he let out a sigh and he said aloud with hope in his voice. "I won't give up. You didn't raise a quitter, mother; I will fight... I will find the others." Suddenly a noise blared in his head and as if his heart glowed, he suddenly felt something within his hands. When he looked down it was his keyblade from his dream. Gale looked at it in befuddlement, it felt as real as in his dream, but Gale gripped it tightly and decided to ran off to look for the others from his dreams. It was his only hope to make sure his mother is safe. Gale made his way to the Pine barrens only avoiding and jumping over shadows who were clawing at him but he dodge most of the attacks and only got a few cuts and bruises, but they still stung badly as if the shadows itself burn his skin like black fire. But suddenly past the edge of town he sees the dreamers surrounded by the huge puddles of shadows and a tower of shadows barreling towards them. Gale felt dread and fear in his chest but he let out a timid sigh and ran towards the group, batted away any pouncing shadows as they pounced at him with ill intent in a very clumsy and inexperience manner but it kept him unharmed even if his wrist is not used to the force of hitting something; it ached more with each swing. It was only when he at arms length away did he see their keyblades. Gale was relieved at the sight. He finally spoke up. "I-I'm glad you guys got y-your keyblades... I-I'm not used to fighting... but I have hope!" Now let's see if hope is enough.
