Faira pulled herself up and joined the fight, but the creatures couldn't withstand the onslaught of five keyblade wielders, and it was over in moments. 

She was breathing heavily, and only just realized how exhausted she was from everything that had been happening. It still seemed to be the same day. "I'm really starting to regret looking for trouble this morning. What even are these things? Just looking at them makes me...."

A voice could be heard from the top of the stairs giving a rough command. "Go on down there lad, make sure the [b]Heartless[/b] haven't hurt our guests."

Someone mounted the steps, and Faira rushed to hide by the wall next to the stairs before they came into view. 

It was a boy, around their age and only the second human they'd seen since being pulled from the darkness. He wore clothes a bit too big for him, and had his hair in an undercut, with a braided tail off the back. His eyes first came onto the empty cage, and his mouth opened in surprise.
