.... Mark of Mastery huh? Interesting. "Hmmmm... That is interesting. I suppose Master Eraqus did his own Mark of Mastery's differently then others..." She nodded. "That makes sense I guess... Different masters, different styles...." With that said, she looked to Eligius. "Might I ask the name of your master? Who knows? Maybe I have heard of him."
Previously, FP waved off Eligius' apology with a straight expression. But as the two keybearers talked, the young lady just stood there, looking about as she only barely listened in. This was all their business really.

"His name is Master Solaris... he's a good teacher, but he and his brother, Master Noctis, tend to... disagree on a lot of things."
He had understated that of course, but no sense in bringing that up right in front of this lady (who he had to admit, he thought was quite beautiful)
"Well... this is kinda what I've been doing." He began telling Aqua the story so far regarding his Mark of Mastery test; how he wound up in New York City, then the Studio Backlot... then he told her about his encounters with the superhero family on Nomanisan Island... his fighting the robot running off of a core of pure light, and his Dark Keyblade he got then... and his time as a mercenary at 2Fort and also fighting the army of robots.
"...So yeah. This hasn't exactly been 'normal' in any sense of the word..." He seemed a bit troubled. "Master Solaris told me all throughout my training to avoid the darkness... to stay away from it so I wouldn't risk corruption... he always said that the light was a just and heroic force... but after what I've seen thus far on this, I feel I can't be certain anymore. Those Gargoyles in New York were animated by a Dark spell... but they were some of the most heroic individuals I've met..."

...........................................
Eligius could've swore that the 'Master' Keyblader looked just as concerned about this as he was. "I... I see.... Most.... Strange..." As she said this, she looked upward with an expression of confusion. "That is quite the tale you have told... ..... .... .... .... If I may be so bold however... I have seen similar myself. My old Master, a practicioner and follower of the Light used his own powers for similar purposes himself, when he thought it was necessary.... And your master having a falling out with his own brother..."
For some reason she was vaguely reminded of Eraqus and.... HIM the more she thought about it. "These are truely troubling times in which we live. Now it would seem not even the path of light is quite as straightforward as it used to be."
'What more is Darkness... Then Hate and Rage?'
Those words echoed through her head... She wanted more then anything to believe it... But.... Was light truely no different?
When she took note Eligius noticing her hesitation, she took a deep breath. No, she was the master here. She needed to be the example. "Sorry." Clearing her throat, she continued. "You have been through a lot it would seem..."

"You don't know the half of it, ma'am... I must admit that I wasn't expecting to encounter another Keybearer here... wherever 'here' is. Actually, I should've asked that earlier. What world is this?"
He seemed a little perplexed.

Her attention was caught at this as she looked to Eligius, surprised at the realization that he didn't know where he was. "Oh! You must be new here." There was a bashful smile as she considered how this meeting had went down. "We were so busy that I forgot to go over the base details.... Well, anyways...."
Aqua cleared her throat, likely getting ready to deliver the news. "Well... You see, sir Eligius.... You are currently on Dimensional Island. A nexus between all worlds, both known and unknown. This place is one of chaos, where light and darkness are not always so clear. Trust me, I have been here for a long while. So I should know."
FP crossed her arms. "Yeah. Aqua's been helping me settle in when I came here from my world." She looked away. "I came here looking for my prince... It's been so long since I've last seen him...."

He put a hand to his chin in thought. "Well, I dare say that would explain the strange energy I feel around here... though this wasn't the world I was attempting to reach; I'm still taking my Mark of Mastery test and was about to go to this world... looked like it was very old-styled; but it had an ornate bridge there as well... Anyway. Miss Flame Princess, are you certain this Prince of yours is here?"

FP nodded eagerly, smiling widely. "I'm sure! You see, not too long ago, he left to go fight the Ice King because he had kidnapped ANOTHER princess... Creepy old fogey... Anyways, when he didn't come back, Princess Bubblegum went looking for him and found this... Uh... Portal thingie-ma-bob." She blushed a bit. "I'll admit, I didn't know near as much as Bubblegum, since she's a science and math whiz... But when I heard Finn could be through the portal I went through it too! I had to find him!"
She let out a sigh. "When I landed, I looked all over where I was but couldn't find him... But I'm sure he's gotta be on this island somewhere! I can feel it!"
Aqua chuckled at this as she looks to Eligius. "I am helping her highness find her prince you see. We are remaining optimistic that we'll find him. After all, portals to Dimensional Island do tend to never land someone in the same place twice." She sighed. "So much ABOUT this place is just so... RANDOM."

"I can see that... this place is strange... and I hope that goes well for you, Your Majesty. If he's that dear to you, I'm sure your hearts will lead you to each other." He smiled a bit. "I may not be that knowledgeable about the heart but I know that much at least."
He thought to himself for a bit. "If I may say, Master Aqua... you have incredible magic power..."

Aqua blushed at the compliment, while FP smiled giddily at Eligius' encouragement. "Th-thank you for that." Aqua monotoned bashfully. "Heh... Really, when I trained with Master Eraqus so long ago, I just found that magic naturally clicked with me. Due to this, I just focused my studies on it until I got as powerful as I am now."
She cleared her throat. "In any cases, what are you're plans, now that you are here Eligius? I can imagine being stuck here must not have been favorable for you."
...................................................
Aqua noted the young man's expression. "O-Oh! I suppose I forgot to mention... You see... I have tried multiple times to leave this dimension and return to the Land of Departure, where a dear friend awaits me... But regardless of how many times I try, I can't seem to open up a door to the lanes between. Some foreign kind of magic seems to be keeping me here... But who knows? Maybe the same thing won't be something you'll have to go through?"

"Hahah... I see. I'm a Blue Mage myself... I'm a little weird when it comes to magic." He smiled slightly. "I don't have a huge repertoire of Blue spells yet, though." Then Aqua asked about the lanes between.
"I honestly don't know. I can try, though... I've been traveling between worlds with Master Solaris' Corridors of Light magic. I don't have a Keyblade Rider or armor, truth be told."
He pointed a hand forward, trying to summon a Corridor... to no avail. A spark of light jumped from his fingertips but nothing else happened.
"...What? I can't feel that magic... that connection with Master Solaris... I can't feel it anymore... but it wasn't destroyed... No..." His eyes widened a bit. "He couldn't have..."

Aqua and FP both looked to Eligius when he started seeming visibly distressed. "What??" Aqua herself looked concerned as she took in his expression. "What is the matter?"
"Mr. Eligius? Is something wrong?" FP walked up to the young man... Though she made note to keep at least some feet away so he wouldn't get too warm or get burnt in case he accidentally touched her. "You look like your getting pale."
Truely Water Elementals were weird creatures.

"...I can't feel my connection to Master Solaris anymore... I... I don't think he deliberately severed it... perhaps it was weakened... and due to this place, it couldn't hold anymore... but... I can't feel that connection and I can't make Corridors of Light... it appears that I'm trapped here same as you, Master Aqua."
That having been said, Eligius was somewhat concerned. '...I don't want to think about it, but what if he did leave me... Considering my Dark Keyblade... I don't know...' He didn't want to think that about his Master, so instead, he turned back to Aqua. "Anyway... I get the feeling we're going to become far more acquainted. I'd be happy to tell you more about me if you ask. I'd like to know more about you two.

Aqua noticed how... scared Eligius seemed as he thought about something of which she was unsure. Even though it was unsure though, she had her theory. He said these 'Corridors of Light' were allowed and caused by his master, Solaris... His explanation offered one possibility... But if this man was like Eraqus....
'No don't think about it, you'll get depressed.' She quickly shook her head and looked back to Eligius. "It would appear we will be indeed... Though I am flattered you wish to know more about me and her higness of the Fire Kingdom."
FP blushed bashfully as well obviously not used to the attention. "Uh-huh! Same!" She nodded to Eligius. "You can count on us to be there for you! Keybladers have to stick together right??" She shot her fist in the air to further emphasize this point.
Obviously, she had been learning from Finn a little.

"Hahah... that we do." He smiled a bit. "So, where to start? I suppose you can ask me something first." He sat down on a nearby bench.

"I suppose that is fair." Aqua took a moment to think, walkind to her left as she rubbed her chin... "Hmmm... Let's see what should I.... Oh!" She snapped her fingers as she looked to the young man. "I figure I should ask you about your life, but... Before that, I have one question." She looked to him with an expression of wonder. "What were those... Peculiar moves I saw you using? The ones that let you bounce off of a wall? Sure I could do similar, but NOTHING on that level. What kind of ability is that?"
It probably surprised Eligius, considering Aqua had said she was a master... But he also supposed what she said earlier, 'Different Masters, diferent teaching styles' also rang true here.
"Hey yeah!" FP looked to Eligius curiously, sitting on the ground and looking up to him. "I saw that move myself and I was just... WOW! I've never seen Finn do that before. Are all Water Elementals capable of that?"
