The White Princess (Private)

[LilJoey]

". . . Who are you?" Joey asked. Standing before him was a strange girl in a white dress. "Why do you keep calling me?" He asked. Though he saw the girls lips move, but no sound came out. And once more, everything went white.

He would awake on the ground. He pushed himself up and shook his head. "Uuungh....what...? That dream again?" The images that had just flashed through the boys mind were actually a recurring dream he's been having for little over a month now. Joey was a wandering swordsman with an enchanted long sword named "Evil's Bane".

During his travels, he's come across strange little shadow monsters that seems to make people disappear when they attacked. But somehow, when normal weapons don't work, his own blade does. He's able to slay these strange monsters when no other sword can, which is how he came to believe it to be enchanted.

Since those times, he started having the dream about the girl in white almost every night. He feels it's some sort of sign or message. Somehow he feels it's more than a dream and another reason he now travels the worlds is to find this strange girl. Whether she is real or not, it's what drives him more than anything.

Though waking up this time was a little different than others. He didn't wake up in his bed, more as he woke up facedown on the ground. He had actually encountered a NEW monster. Instead of black like those shadow things...this creature was WHITE and had a twisted, contorted body. As he battled it, it began to flee and he followed it through a strange door to blackness. He must've blacked out after entering, hence the dream.

He grabbed his sword which laid beside him and stood up to get his bearings. Though what he saw made his eyes go wide. "Oh....my...." Standing before him was a familiar sight. Another thing that recurred in his dreams, was a strange, misshapen Castle that seemed to sit in the center of Oblivion...and that's exactly what was standing before him...and he was awake this time.

In a small, blank white room at the top of Oblivion's tallest tower sat a girl. Her blond hair hung to her shoulders, twisted to one side, framing vacant blue eyes. She wore a simple white dress, scalloped at the hem, and no shoes. In the thin hand was a colored pencil, moving across paper as she sketched out a boy. He had brown hair and was wearing plate armor over his clothing, holding a large broadsword in one hand. Namine sighed and set the pencil aside. She wanted a friend... that was all. Was it really too much to ask? Marluxia seemed to think so. The petite girl shifted a bit; her diaper was starting to get just plain uncomfortable, but Marluxia refused to change her, forcing her to wait until Axel returned.

[LilJoey]

Joey eyes scanned over the ground he was standing on, which seemed to just float in the center of nothingness. He slowly walked up to one of the edges and peered over it, feeling a bit of a chill run up his spine as he stared into the void. Almost as if something was going to lunge out at him, he jumped backwards, stumbling a bit but managed to maintain his footing. "This place....this feel....I know it." He mumbled to himself and looked up at the castle. His expression changed from wonder to determined as he decided to face his dream and enter the castle. He placed his sword back into it's sheath and ran towards the entrance.

[LittleJai]

As if expecting him, the gates swung inwards with a slight creak. A figure watched, unseen, from the top of the wall and smiled to himself. "I'll do what I can to help him reach you... Namine." whispered the man to himself, before vanishing in a swirl of darkness and golden hair. In her tower, Namine sat up a bit straighter and looked around her. Someone or something was coming...

[LilJoey]

Joey stopped as he saw the doors swing open. What was going on? Was he actually being welcomed into the castle? Either way, he couldn't stop here, unless he wished to be haunted by these dreams, he had to continue forward. Without any more hesitation, he entered the castle.

Almost immediately upon entering the castle, the doors slammed behind him, causing him to stop once more and look behind himself. ". . .No going back I guess." He then looked forward and felt his breath escape him. The scenery was exactly like in his dreams. "This is spooky..." He commented before starting to walk forward.

[LittleJai]

Upstairs in her room, Namine shuddered. There was someone in the castle... Marluxia would be angry. Although somehow, somehow she knew. It was her knight, coming to rescue her. The door creaked open and she looked up hopefully, expecting Axel, but sighed in resignation as Vexen took her off to change her instead.

[LilJoey]

"Honestly Namine, you'd expect of girl of your age to at the very least be able to keep her pants clean for more than a couple of hours." Vexen commented on the condition of the girls diaper. "Sometimes I really question your maturity."

Meanwhile Joey made his way through each and every corridor he passed by, instantly recognizing each and every one of them. They matched his dreams perfectly, and even though he had never been here in his life, he knew the layout like the back of his hand.

[LittleJai]

The girl steadfastly ignored him, as Marluxia had taught her. She didn't mind as much when Vexen punished her for being rude. At least he was still halfway decent; he didn't do those odd things to her with vines. She could feel her knight getting closer and had to catch herself before she smiled.

[LilJoey]

As Vexen continued forward with Namine, he was about to scold her for her replying when he spoke to her, but was cut off as darkness swirled about in front of him, forming a doorway to darkness and the smaller member known as Zexion stepped through.

"Excuse me Vexen...but I came to inform you that I detect the scent of an intruder in the castle...he may be near...and there is something else about him. A scent that smells..ugh....pure." He spoke that last line with disgust. Little did he know at the time, but he was actually referring to the boys sword.

As he hurried through the castle, he stopped as he was starting to pick up voices echoing throughout the halls. He quickly ducked behind a pillar, thinking someone was coming. After a moment of waiting, he saw no one coming. "I must be getting close...this is all too freaky. It's like I've already been all over...it's like my dream come to life..."

After he finished mumbling to himself, he continued forward. Now climbing a long flight of stairs, soon to be on the floor the strange girl was usually found on.

[LittleJai]

Namine couldn't help but smile this time. "My knight..." she muttered, gazing off demurely into space and waiting for Vexen to finish.
