Vex held Eiva close, as if he could protect her from the jaws of death. The surge of darkness that came from his heart, however, may have been enough to disrupt all but the strongest connections.

Eiva's breathing wasn't very strong it was shallow short paints. Her connection to Vex was strong enough that it was what she was holding on to. "vex...." her voice was nowhere near audible to anyone but Vex with how low it was.
Sioda was about to lose his mind if something wasn't done fast Eiva was done for. He was still pushing energy into her body but it was getting harder and harder as her heart started to fall apart. The fragments no longer holding themselves in place.

Vex, losing hope for Eiva, let a single tear fall down his muzzle and land over Eiva's heart. A black and white flame was within it.

Setsuna, through some miracle, turned around. "Oh you are so not going to die on me." He took his crystal out of his pocket and held it over her chest. "Heal her shattered heart for me, crystal." The crystal shined brightly and Setsuna felt himself tiring as his life energy was drained to keep her alive. "You are not dying on me. I won't allow it."
Mirror's drain of her energy was almost complete - and then he felt the searing light blaze into him. He cursed loudly, letting go of the connection - and by doing so, temporarily and accidentally establishing a connection with Setsuna, although he didn't know it. Damn it all! I was so close! Well, I've got enough power to deal with him now. All I need to do is find Warron and he'll be an easy enough fight.
Setsuna blinked, suddenly almost crushing Serena's paw in his own grip as his hands tightened. Patches of darkness began to appear on his body, but these faded almost as quickly as they came into being.
"Cobra! It's my Heartless! It was draining Eiva's remaining life force. I don't know how, exactly, but it was doing just that." His speed quickened. I know now that it has to be stopped! It's evil! We gotta get to the king at once!

(OOC: Yikes. You like... got online when I least expected, replied and left Raive. That surprised me a bit lol)
Serena yelped and quickened her pace with Setsuna, "I hope your king knows how to fix this, Cobra!"
No worries Cobra said, transferring his thoughts to only Setsuna and Serena, We're pretty close to the castle. We'll be safe there. There's a barrier around the castle within the barrier of Warron that is the castle gate. I'll be able to open it. I'm one hundred percent sure that once we enter the gate, Mirror won't be able to touch Eiva then... heheh... barrier within a barrier... PROTECTION!
(OOC: I couldn't help it)
The group made it to the castle gates; the gates stretched far around the castle, and the entrance had complex twists and curves, all leading to a beautiful glowing amethyst crystal in the center.
"Hey! It's me Cobra Satoshira! Or Lightningrage, whichever you take!" He yelled to the gate, the moment he came in range, "I've brought my friends from Twilight Town! Let them in!"
Your thunderous voice has been recognized, One who Wields Lightning[/b] Boomed the amethyst, Your access to the castle has been granted. You may enter.[/b] The crystal ceased glowing, before the gate's complex curves and twists began to animate, before the gate opened up.
"Okay, we're in, now lets-"
"Khasu!(Halt!)" came a voice from in front of the castle doors. Cobra turned to see two guards walking up to the group, halberds pointed at them, speaking in what sounded like growls, barks and snarls, to the group, "Konora sa kutu kel uruk consa rekalo?! (Who are these people you brought in this time?!)" the guard on the left of Cobra snarled.
Cobra replied, with confidence, speaking in the language that sounded like the tongue of a wolf, "Ruja kono kirase Felix netu. Destuja kirusaru detus sorade Engix.(They're the people Felix requested to see. They understand and speak English.)"
The guards blinked, before flipping their halberds into standby position, "The universal language, eh?" the guard to the right of Cobra said, looking at the group, "Sorry about that. Follow us."
Serena looked baffled at what had just taken place, holding Setsuna's hand firmly, following the guards, "Cobra... what were you saying? What was that about?"
"Wolf-code," Cobra explained, "The language of this place, developed by our ancient lupine ancestors. Almost every wolf here knows it and uses it to speak to one another. Usually, though, we use English because of the fact that its easier to learn and understand. Wolf-code can be used to show respect or intimidation..." Cobra paused and thought a moment, "Or was that Ancient Wolf-code? Meh, I'll remember. Either way," Cobra deepened his voice, "It's the language of my people." he chuckled to himself in amusement. He loved doing silly things, even in a serious moment.
The guards opened the doors into the castle. Inside the floor was waxed and covered with red carpets laced with gold threads, and the ceiling was bright with lit chandeliers. There where many animals and humans conversed, wearing highly regal clothing, while others wore battle clothing, running out of the castle doors in order to complete missions. Guards stood by structures, so still it was hard to tell if they were statues or guards unless they moved.
"Like the inside of this place guys?" Cobra asked, his urgency gone down a number, "This is where we'll find the king. Just keep up with the guards."

After Setsuna's little miracle, Eiva weakly opened her eyes. Her breathing was better now and she could tell from a little testing half of her heart was ok. She coughed weakly looking up at Vex slightly confused as to where they were.
Sioda let out a breath slightly on a growl after finding out what Mirror had been doing to Eiva. Now he was slightly pissed his tail swishing back and forth in agitation. The second Eiva coughed he turned around to check on her.

(OOC: I'm using a school computer right now, I can only be on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the morning most likely.)
Setsuna nodded, a little tired from the energy expenditure but healthy otherwise. He waited in mute noncomprehension as the two guards spoke the language, and waved a hand in thanks as they let the group in.
He had admired the castle from the outside, but once he got in, he whistled a bit. "I like this place. So ornate and cool. I really do feel like I'm in medieval times here. Let's go, Serena. Sorry about almost crushing your paw there." He squeezed it gently and walked alongside Cobra, the pace having evened out due to less urgency. Setsuna looked behind him to see that Eiva was doing slightly better.
And true to Cobra's words, it was now impossible for Mirror to find a way to get to Eiva. It was also injured from the light and would need to recover. It relaxed back in the Corridors of Darkness. I've got all the time in the world. I can just wait until they leave. And then I'll make my move. I'll drain the rest of Eiva's strength and use it to kill Setsuna... and my life will be complete.

Sioda stayed really close to Eiva, he had her hand in his holding it protectively. "Everything's gonna be ok now Eiv's " he says to her reassuringly like a brother.

As soon as Vex entered the castle, he thought 'Vengar' and his clothes transformed to a priest's robes.

Eiva looked up at Vex and smiled weakly remembering what she had been meaning to say before she passed out. 'I love you....' she though quietly to her self. She had told Vex before that she really liked him, but she came to the realization that she loved him more then she had thought before and that she had never told him that she loved him like she did. Smiling at her own little bit of derpyness Eiva leans her head on Vex's shoulder. She was feeling better, but that gnawing emptiness was still there.
All she was sure of was Vex holding her in a way that made her feel more then safe, and Sioda holding her hand tightly and telling her she was ok.

Setsuna took an anxious look at Eiva. So weak... though definitely a little better from his crystal's healing light. He strode forward, still holding Serena's paw in his hand.
He somehow felt a bit "off". Out of his element. Like he wasn't supposed to be here. Human. "Half-breed." Could he somehow remedy that to fit in, and undergo a transformation that would allow him to shift forms?
He shook his head. What circumstances would necessitate that?

Serena gave Suna a nod, "It's alright. You had your reasons. So where are we going now, Cobra?"
"To the top of the castle," Cobra replied, the guards guiding them to the stairs, before saluting and going back to the castle entrance, "That's where the king's office is, and where we'll find my super close friend, Felix. Well, not super close. Don't tell him this, but I think of him as the brother I would have had if he weren't killed off like the rest of my clan... but that's a story I'll get into after we meet him."
The stairwell spiraled upward, and various stained glass windows ascended with the stairs on the right side of them. The images showed deities of light-- gods, next to demons. At the bottom of the image, a number in roman numerals showed for each of them, from 1 to 13.
"Cool, huh?" Cobra said, hovering up the stairs, "These stained glass images show who and what created this world," he pointed at the glass window with a dark figure standing in front of what looked like a dim grey light, "The First Demon, the Demon of Balance was the one who had met with Fate and explained that the new world was engulfed by darkness. Demons, heartless, any dark figure you've come to know and then some, walked around world like they owned the place. This is where the first God, the Goddess of Holy Light comes into place," he pointed at the stained glass picture of a white wolf with crimson red markings, presumably floating to touch the earth, "She touched down to this world and made it have existence. And... it sort of progressed from there. The gods and demons only went up until they hit 13. Those 13 demons and gods are what keep this world in balance. The strongest of them. That's what this place went on. Balance. You can't have one without the other."
Cobra pointed at the twelve mark on his chest, "This thing happens when a demon wishes to escape the demon realm, cause... well, it's gonna get boring down there, y'know? I honestly don't know how this host thing works, but, when a demon hears the pained cry of a mother giving birth, it takes residence within the newborn's soul and steals the soul of the mother. And... after a few years of staying with its host... eventually, the demon will leave the host... and take his or her's life."
A long pause followed that sentence, "Yup, eventually, Twelfth, here's gonna leave me, and it'll kill me. I don't know when, but it will. Just another pawn in Fate's giant chess game, just like the rest of us..." Cobra shrugged, "But enough of that. TO THE KING!" He soared up to the top of the stairs and went through the door to the king's office.

Eiva shook her head Cobra was very optimistic it was a good thing for a person to be like that. She winced only slightly when a fragment of her heart started to throb as it tried to split appart. Sioda squeezed her hand a little tighter. He could tell she was starting to be afraid

Vex walked up the staircase, still carrying Eiva and wearing black robes.

Eiva's eyes closed again as her weakened body gave out on her. A fragment, a small one, comes off from the rest disappearing before Eiva could get a handle on it. Her body shutters as the fragment disappears. It hurt....and made her feel light headed as she got pulled down further in to unconsciousness.
Sioda continued to hold her hand squeezing a little when she shuttered.
