"What the..." Roxas says as he wakes to the dragon's whimpering. Noticing Mary's disappearance, he doesn't worry as much as he used to, for he had something in store if she were to ever wander off again. With a flick of his wrist, a dark corridor opens up right on Mary's location. Next thing she knows, she's back right where Roxas is waiting, his arms crossed.

"... what?..." Mary asks

"... what?..." Mary asks

"Honestly, have you learned nothing from your previous trips alone? Stop wandering off. You'll get hurt." I respond.

"Prove it. Prove to me that you're capable of handling yourself at such a young age. That you'll be able to carry your own weight in this harsh world." Roxas says.

"... I .... I can't..." Mary admits and sighs. She climbs on Roxas' back. "I wanna go home" Mary says.

"....Alright." With that, Roxas begins to walk through the forest, towards the inn.

Roxas stops in his tracks. "Where...is your home?" He asks.

Mary points to a cave on a moutian very far away "there" she says

"Alright then...I'll take you home..." Roxas says. Having been to that mountain before during his travels, Roxas uses a dark corridor to move to the mountain. Now only a block's distance away, he walks toward the cave Mary pointed out.

Mary falls asleep on Roxas' back. Roxas notices blood in quite a few spots. He gets the feeling that the cave may have been where her parents were killed.

Regardless, Roxas continues to walk, finally reaching the mouth of the cave. "Right in their own home..." He says as he enters the cave.

Roxas sees and smells rotting corpses. It horrible the whole rooms completely covered. Mary twitches a bit in her sleep from the smell but doesn't wake up.

"...." Roxas decides to blindfold Mary, additonally casting a spell that numbs her sense of smell and hearing. For good measure, he puts her under a heavier sleep. Afterwards, he continues to walk.

He finds it's simply one room. The witch and dragon hanging in the back of the room. Dragon corpses are everywhere. Mary begins to mumble in her sleep. She mumbles things that don't seem like words. As she mumbles the dead corpses of dragons stand up and are similar to zombies. They roar very loudly shaking the moutian. Mary wakes up from the roars. The dragons start running twards Mary, ready to kill. Mary goes to remove the blindfold when she feels the moutian shaking.

Roxas binded the blindfold tight enough to where Mary cannot remove it no matter how hard she tries. He quickly summons his keyblades and points them at the corpses. "Bathe in the light!" With that, he fires a large beam of light at them.

The dragons die as soon as the beams get within a foot of them. Mary whines "get it off!" She says unhappily "I wanna see my home!" She whines.

Quickly, using most of his energy, Roxas moves the corpses somewhere that he can retrieve them later. Then he cleans the entire cave of blood and anything else hinting towards the death of Mary's parents. Finally, he walks up to Mary and removes her blindfold. Additionally, he releases the wards he put on her senses.

Mary walks around (and now for the reason she was mumbling) "my parents said they were here... They were talking to me... They lied..." Mary breaks down crying as she falls to her knees sobbing "why? Why would they say I could see them.. And then they aren't here.!?" Mary yells.

Roxas realizes that he forgot to remove one thing from the cave, the corpses of her parents, which hang right before Mary."Mary...are you not able to see what's right in front of you..." He walks over to her, putting a gentle hand on her shoulder.
