She had never been afraid of the dark. It simply wasn't in her nature, and although she would have had a hard time, if not for the glow that still filled her entire being - but something was wrong. She did not glow as brightly as she usually did, though her light was enough to see by, and she was having no trouble finding her way around the city. She couldn't manage to make her journal work, try as she might, and frowned.

She hoped everyone else in the city was alright.

Yorda had never had any hint of corruption touch her in her entire life, despite what had happened to her in the castle and the Heartless that had come after her once. It was as though it couldn't touch her at all, in fact. She smiled at Neirenn, ecstatic that she was learning something new about herself. "It does? Then I am glad," she decided.

Yorda thought for a moment and nodded hesitantly. "I will show you," she decided, closing her eyes and focusing. She could feel her molecules shifting, the light that filled her being being drawn back into her body and being replaced with inky, smoky darkness as all discernible features of her disappeared. "I will try," she replied, her voice changed from its normal breathy tones to a more powerful echo, albeit still quiet, as the girl willed a shield around her being.
