feel the light shining in the dark of the night | A single laugh escaped Riku, the sound short and barking and almost a mockery of what it was supposed to be. "Now where have I heard that before..." A slight roll of his eyes, coupled with a shake of his head and a shrug of his shoulders.
"Do you know how many people I've had try to kill me? More than I could count at this point, and all of them have been far more menacing than you."
Antagonizing a foe with an unknown skill set was not really the smartest thing to do. Riku wasn't an idiot and this was a poor way to start off a fight. But maybe a period of peace had made him grow a bit lax, or a bit lazy.
Or maybe he just didn't care, or just couldn't possibly view this man as a threat.
Way To The Dawn snapped to his hand as dark magic swirled around it. Riku flung his free hand forward as the black cloud seemed almost magnetically drawn towards Sephiroth's face. His goal really wasn't to hurt the other, but to blind him--
And to use that moment to just dart aside into the Colosseum proper.

feel the light shining in the dark of the night | Sephiroth would have had far more luck getting information from Sora instead of from Riku. The brunet would have recognized the description almost immediately, even with such a little information given. Blond hair, black clothing -- that would describe almost anyone, really. The big sword part did narrow it down a little bit, but not enough to ring any bells for Riku.
He wasn't the one who had spent any time with the Restoration Committee, after all, and Cloud was, reluctantly or not, a member of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee.
"Doesn't ring a bell, though I'm not sure I would tell you even if I had seen him." Turquoise eyes narrowed slightly as Riku eyed Sephiroth, but it was the only sign of any stress he felt towards the situation at all. "If you're looking for this guy, something tells me that there's a reason you don't know where he is, and I don't think he would be happy if I told you anything about him."
His words made it sound like Riku knew more than he was letting on. A lie, though if the Master really wanted to he was certain he could find out about the blond hair man with a large sword. He would, actually, after this little encounter -- and he would made sure the odd man didn't find him.

feel the light shining in the dark of the night | For a brief moment Riku's eyes narrowed, though he quickly allow the small and momentary expression of displeasure to pass. No reason to outwardly show just how annoyed he was to both be addressed as such, and to know that there was someone who could see such a thing so easily about him. It would be better for Riku to just act calm and collected about this.
"My heart is my own and no one else's. Darkness hasn't touched it; I've touched it, along with my friends." The stranger could argue about this as much as he wanted, but Riku wouldn't budge on this point.
There wasn't darkness in his heart. More... Darkness was a part of him, and would always be, and Riku had long since learned to accept that.
One brow arched as Riku crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm simply making sure there are no heartless in this world. They crop up, drawn by the fighting of the tournaments, and they can be quite a bit of a threat to the fighters here. Which begs the question then, why are you here? You don't look like the type to be a fighter here."

feel the light shining in the dark of the night | This wasn't his first time on this world, but Riku wasn't sure he would ever get used to feeling like he was actually allowed to be here. To be... anywhere. He had spent so long skulking around in the shadows, first under Maleficent's wing and then under the false Organization cloak doing DiZ's and the King's dirty work, that to walk around in broad daylight almost felt wrong. Like at any moment someone would jump out at him, grab him, and tell him that he wasn't meant to be here.
Riku stamped one foot against the ground outside the Colosseum a few times before swinging one arm out. Way To The Dawn sprung into sight, settling into his hand, before vanishing after a moment. Just having the weight resting in his hand for a moment was enough to offer a bit of reassure.
He was allowed to be here. He was still a keyblade wielder. Bearer. Master. That hadn't all just been suddenly taken from him.
Riku's gaze shifted along the now-repaired building, where he knew he would find Phil and the hero Hercules, but he didn't go inside. Instead, the Master started to make his way around the outside, examining every nook and cranny that he could find. Considering all the fights that happened here, this place was a hotbed of heartless activity, and it was one of the places that they always needed to keep an eye on.

 RIKU | WayToTheDawn | Lunar | 19 | | 6' 0 | 165lbs | Human | | Gender | Graysexual | Destiny Islands |
appearance
Riku is a decently tall young man with silver hair and turquoise eyes. His hair has been trimmed and kept at a reasonably length. He's tanned and he knows that he strikes a bit of an imposing figure, both because of his stature and because of his reputation. Because of this, Riku's taking to slouching to try to make himself a little less threatening to some of the newer keyblade bearers.
personality POSITIVE- Loyal
- Strong and determined
- Persistent
- Good at keeping secrets
- Good listener
NEGATIVE- Gunshy at trusting people
- Loner
- Awkward at making conversation
- Difficulty making friends
- Often a 'all work no play' person
history
Riku was born to a sickly mother and a father who adored her. His father's world revolved around her, and though she was sickly, he was happy to start a family with her. What he wasn't happy about was the toll the pregnancy took on her, and when she passed away he was devastated.
Riku had been three, and his memories of his mother were weak and hazy because of that. He remembered that she had been a loving and doting woman, and his father had been warm and caring while she had been alive. After her death, however, his father withdrew. He never hit Riku, never yelled at him, and was never outwardly cruel - but he was distant and disconnected, and there was no longer any warmth there.
He found his warmth and affection in his friendship with Sora. The two were inseparable growing up, to the point of practically being brothers. And then, when they were eight, Kairi came.
Riku never blamed Kairi, but her appearance changed the dynamic of their relationship. She became the 'object' that they fought over, and instead of being the inseparable duo they were an unbalanced trio. They were too young to be open and honest, too young to know what to do with their feelings, and an imaginary divide began to form. This divide, coupled by Riku's own natural burning desire to see more, led to the start of his fall into darkness.
When a voice came to tell him that there was a way off the world, Riku grabbed at it desperately, and it took him down a long and winding path to darkness. He met Malificent and fell under her spell, and he became utterly entwined in the darkness. His own insecurity prevented him from realizing that Sora hadn't been trying to run away without him or replace him, and by the time Riku realized he was mistaken, Xehanort had already taken over.
In order to make sure the door to the world of Heartless was shut, Riku stayed in the darkness with The King. And there he began a year-long journey to try first to purge himself of his darkness, and then to take advantage of it. In the end he found control, but the control came at the cost of his memories, and his physical appearance.
Riku hid himself from both Sora and Kairi, afraid they would hate him if they saw him in Xehanort's body. He did all he could to help Sora against the Organization though, and fought to protect Kairi when she was taken hostage. In the end, he was finally forced to face Sora as he was, and the brunet was able to see through to his heart below. It wasn't long from then before Ansem the Wise destroyed the growing Kingdom Hearts, and the power of the hearts restored Riku to his true form.
He fought alongside Sora and defeated Xemnas, and the worlds were safe. The waking worlds, at least. The two were informed of the sleeping worlds shortly after, and they embarked on their Mark of Mastery exam - save the sleeping worlds, and they would both become Keyblade Masters.
Riku never dove into his own dream. From the start he sensed something was wrong, and that part of him caused him to dive into Sora's subconscious. There he existed as a dream eater version of himself, and he protected Sora from the darkness that Xehanort had been trying to infect him with. Riku came face to face with his own darkness and overcame it, and in the process he saved Sora, became a Master, and prevented Xehanort's plan from succeeding.
Sora failed, but he continued to train to grow stronger. Riku did as well, and he helped both Sora and Kairi to train to become Keyblade Masters.
Together with the other four Lights they defeated Xehanort and now, with the spirits created from Kingdom Hearts, they must work to try to restore the ranks of the Keyblade Bearers.
