Caliga stood in the Main courtyard. His eyes closed, his body leaning against a pole. His white hair shining in the bright light. He opened his eyes slightly and got up from his position to stretch. After doing so he heard footsteps coming down from the Building's entrance.
"Morning you two." He said slightly more friendlier than normal, but still with the same feeling of coldness towards Levis. Strange that Caliga was a bit happier when he wasn't fighting, but he noticed that Caliga and Viscus were carrying swords underneath their shirts.
"So where we heading to for our day off?" Levis asked looking at Caliga. Caliga looked behind him then back at Levis.
"Were heading to Gaia, the city of Midgar. Gaia is a war torn world but Midgar is the one town that is safe from the fighting." Caliga said walking away from the two.
"Sounds like an interesting place to go for a day off. What's there that's interesting?" Levis asked curious as to how Caliga knew so much about it.
"Not much. Though the town has some decent shops and such." Caliga stopped after walking a bit.
"After you Levis." He muttered as Levis walked in front of him. He seemed bitter about something. Still it wasn't Levis's problem. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers a white Corridor appearing in front of the trio. The three walked into the Corridor and appeared in a small town.
Midgar is not what you would call a safe city. It was a large town that had similar building structures from the 18th century Earth. People walked around in top hats and tail coats. The technology was far more advance than anything Levis had seen before. The technology was also similar to 18th century Earth in the fact that there were large boats powered by steam.
In the distance there was a large Castle. One that was white in color but when face to face with it, it was a bright gray color. The town surrounded the Castle, which was in the middle of the entire city.
Levis opened his mouth slightly amazed at how this world could possibly be war torn. But it seemed Caliga was due for something else than hanging out with these two.
"I need to do something here. Here's a map of the town. Meet at that point in red at around dusk." He said tossing a map to Levis who fumbled for it. Caliga turned away from them and walked off til neither of them could see him anymore.
"Strange wonder what he has to do?" Levis said standing up and opening the map he was given. Viscus looked over Levis's shoulder and stared at the different places on the map.
"Ooh look at that! A clothing store!" Viscus said grabbing the map away from Levis and dragging him by the collar.
"Guess her one weakness is clothes." Levis thought a drop of sweat going down his neck. He got up and and began to walk side by side with Viscus who went from one store to the next usual trying things on and buying only a single piece of clothing.
After awhile of doing this, it seemed Viscus had grown tired of buying. So Levis took all of her bags and took them to a Corridor and left them in there so they could get some food.
"You sure its safe to do that?" Viscus asked worriedly. Levis nodded his head.
"As long as those clothes don't have hearts and are made of darkness their fine!" Levis said laughing at how worried Viscus was over her clothes.
Still it was fun that the two could spend time together without training or one being thrown rocks at. Even more so when they weren't fighting bandits that had military combat training.
Levis went to an ice Cream store and bought them two sticks of ice cream, Chocolate for him and Vanilla for Viscus. Both ate their ice Cream in silence.
"Why does Caliga detest me Viscus?" Levis spoke to break the silence. She looked at him, her ice cream in her mouth, and she began to think.
"I think for the most part its because you learned how to use the Keyblade before he could. Caliga is the type of person who when he puts his mind into it, does his hardest work. But it seemed that when you appeared wielding the Keyblade, he thought that maybe you didn't deserve it." Viscus said through a mouthful of Ice Cream.
"Or he could just think of you as a rival. I honestly don't know what he does when were not around him. He seems to just disappear back home." Viscus said coming to a conclusion with a nod of her head. Levis stared at his melting ice cream. Was Caliga really angry at Levis for just being able to wield?
~~~
"Do you understand what my Master is trying to accomplish!"
"Yes, but I don't know how much longer til..."
"It will be soon, or we will both be paying the price."
"Understood."
The two voices became silent. Both were two men discussing something in an alleyway of the city Midgar. The owner of the first voice disappeared without showing himself. The owner of the second voice sighed before stepping out showing his bright white hair.
Caliga stood looking up at the blue sky. How long must he be doing this task? Sure he wanted to learn how to wield a keyblade, and sure he wanted to kill Levis, but if Levis didn't teach him he and his Boss would both be dead.
Caliga shook his head. No Levis was the type of person that would show two people who had more experience than him how to do something like how to wield a keyblade. Caliga began to walk away from the alleyway and head towards a cafe on the eastern side of the city.
He sat down and ordered a glass of water. It had been sometime since he had a chance to actually visit his home. How many times did he have to relive that nightmare over and over again? His family's house burning while his father and mother tried getting at the house but were stopped by guards.
More importantly why did
he look like him? The resemblances were almost identical if his brother grew to that age. It made him angry, and a dark aura covered his body.
"
Clunk!" Caliga looked up to see his server put his glass of water near his head. The dark aura around Caliga had disappeared the minute he had stopped thinking about it.
He chugged down his drink and payed the gil he owed. He needed to find an armor store so he could get his armor checked. It was feeling a bit rusty.
To Be Continued Next Week*
*This is due to me not being able to get all my thoughts down on this particular night. I will have the second part of this chapter up by this upcoming Sunday.
