When Zero returned to twilight town, he did so looking ragged and worn out. His apparel was riddled in sand grains - more than usual. The particles reach into his pores and hair. His clothes had rips and tears, from some of which he drew blood. He was panting and ejected himself from his void portal quite hurriedly. He rolled as he came out positioning himself to face the portal on guard while he closed it, not sure of who or what might burst through after him. When the portal closed, only letting through the sabre of a bandit heartless Zero breathed deeply once, his posture relaxing and his chest deflating. He ran a hand through his hair, brushing out the excess sand. He was near the beach, which suited him. Kiru moved as far as the water's edge and began to undress. On the upper part of his tunic, he fished out a scroll, mark with a seal he was all too familiar with. He meant to simply put the scroll on shore safely, but as soon as he caught a glimpse of the mark he found himself entrance by it as memories of his failure flooded into his mind's eye.
It was anger and resentment; he knew what he was feeling, even if he continually tried to detach himself from it. With the scroll safely still on the bank, Zero entered the waters, clothes and all. The twilight, soft waves cooled and hydrated his skin. He was dipping his clothes in to cleanse them of the hints of battle. Soon after Zero relaxed backwards into the water, submerging himself in it fully. His eyes were closed as he let the sensation of aquatic silence and calm recentre him. He he stood up out of the water he strode back towards land, scooping up the scroll in his teeth and squeezing dry his clothes as he moved to put them back on.
By the time he retraced his steps to the point where he left Daichi, he noticed that they were gone and saw no obvious tracks as to where they went. Zero knew the protocol. It meant something didn't go as planned for Daichi and he didn't have time to leave traditional breadcrumbs for Zero to play catch up. Zero, now fully dressed strolled casually across the empty, open space. He unsheathed his keyblade, holding it out in his left hand while his right was stretched out in the other direction. A whisper of wind began encircling the head of his keyblade while an ethereal face of an analogue clocked illuminated in his right palm. Zero stabbed his keyblade into the floor and with a precise delay slammed his right hand on top of his keyblade.
Sand burst forwards from the ground, set by Daichi's Sand Magic and triggered by Zero's aero spell. Zero's slow spell put the sand in suspended animation just after immergence. Zero scanned the pattern of the emerging sand, as it form the characters for written language. He read the message hidden in this one moment created from a spell within a spell within a spell. A few brief seconds later the sand dispersed in random direction and dissolve against the floor into an tanned-orange light. Zero nodded at the ground, aware of where they had gone.
Zero had never been there before in person, but had heard of it. The place was typically too close to the on going keyblade conflict for two abstainers wielding keyblades to venture. It definitely wasn't a place he could get to by conventional means, even for a keyblade wielder. Zero thought for moment before holding out his keyblade to create another wormhole, figuring out where he could find information on the graveyard's location. His eyebrow quivered, momentarily furrowing and betraying his instinctive anger. He had just thought of whom could give him the information he needed - he just didn't want to go back to them.
As he held out his keyblade, a whirring noise started up, but petered out quickly. Zero looked down at his blade and tried again, with the same petering sound. He pulled his keyblade up inspecting it. He looked at his hands silently, then tried to cast and aero, realising he could even muster enough wind for a gentle breeze. His arcane reserves were low. This was the most magic he had expended in a single day with all the major wormhole journeys.
Realising he was stuck in Twilight Town until he had the mana to use his void abilities, Zero sheathed his keyblade and sat on the ground in the lotus position, resting his hands on his knees and closing his eyes to meditate.
