Re: Fate of A Hero

"I see we are progressing. Has the king notified any response?" DiZ asked, looking over Namine's random sketches.
"Yes. He'll be here tomorrow." Namine replied lightly, interested in her sketch. DiZ nodded, then stopped.
"....What are you drawing?" He inquired. A small grin grew on Namine's face.
"It's a suprise," She responded. DiZ stared at the sketch longer. It had a shape, yes...but...of...a human? A female's body, that's what it was...
"You're interested, aren't you?" Namine pryed. DiZ coughed.
"Er, no." He lied. Namine smiled.
"She's a secret." She added. He showed her what she had so far. DiZ blinked.
"Who is that?" He asked, suddenly interested. Namine smiled once more.
"Secret. Remember?" She whispered, stroking the female's(?) silver hair and ice blue eyes, the only colored piece.

"Ok. From the beginning." Roxas drilled. He looked at Xemnas, signalling him to pay attention. Xemnas turned to Akira, confused. Akira sighed.
"Three days ago, I was on a mission at Twilight Town, alone. I ran into an Aerial Walker, and a big one at that, and I tried to fight him off. After I defeated it, two more appeared. They kept coming and coming, and I couldn't take them. One got me from behind, and the rest is blank." She repeated uniformily. She looked down.
Xemnas stared, mouth open. Roxas nodded.
"Yup. She's been acting as if nothing happened. As if her memory was...replaced." Roxas said, signalling to her. She looked up, confused.
"I'm fine, really," Akira insisted, gesturing to herself.
"I can see she is fine, physically," Xemnas remarked thoughtfully, "But we need to know what's going on mentally." He tapped Akira's head. She grimaced.
"Like I said. I. Am. Fine." She repeated. Xemnas ignored her and turned to Roxas.
"We need to talk. And Akira," He turned to her once more, "Tomorrow. Vexen's lab."
Akira pouted, and as if on cue, left the room in a dark portal. Xemnas looked down at Roxas.
"I think I know what's going on." Xemnas whispered. Roxas's eyebrows furrowed.
"You do?" He asked. Xemnas paced away from him. He turned his head to Roxas.
"I have reason to believe that Namine has something to do with this."
