“so,” he cleared his throat. “it makes me think of ideas to use, instead of spacing out about what does get to me.” jonathan shrugged. “that’s interesting.”
it didn’t seem as though the other man was willing to talk about it, so orion didn’t ask again. “not really. i’ve just been doing it all my life, so it’s second nature. my friend thinks it’s boring.”

“You’re right. Excuse me if for once I thought you would act like a normal person and would be looking for something mundane like a cafeteria or something.”
“you’re really not one to talk, you know. since when have either of us been normal people?” orion asked.
“honestly? i wouldn’t blame you. the telescopes here are some good shit,” she said, laughing softly. of course, she preferred to just go flying to look at the stars, but the telescopes were good for lazy nights. "ah, right, supposed moon powers. you gotta let me know when you do know for sure — i’m a sucker for the moon.” she smiled. “speaking of letting me know, have i thrown you my name yet? i’m justice. — oh, and yeah, more freedom. i got to go where i wanted, within my father’s boundaries for me, of course —” not that she always listened to toothless. “the only thing that sucked was the dragon racing — couldn’t participate without a rider.” she made a face, though let a smile linger on her lips, to show that she wasn’t really upset by it ( at least, not at the moment ). at his question, she glanced down at her leg for a moment, then lifting her gaze back up to look at him. “oh, no worries, i don’t mind. but yeah, i am. i have been since i was … one? two? somewhere in there. i’d always had trouble walking, but then i got in an accident when i was super young and it just … amplified the problem.” she crinkled her nose. “i’m used to it now, though, obviously.”
“are they really? i’ll hold you to that.” he wished he could get up higher. he knew how to climb trees, sure, but that wasn’t enough for him. he wanted to really see the sky. “alright, i will.” he doubted he would tell her everything, not right away ( the organisation was a bit hard to explain, anyway ), but he’d make sure to tell her if he did have said powers. “i... don’t think you did. i’m orion. orion moon.” he paused for a moment, allowing her to make fun of his name if she wished. he could understand why she might. “dragon racing? i’m assuming that’s just... racing dragons?” it was still a question, though, because he could be wrong, and he didn’t want to offend her in any way. he made sure not to stare at her leg as she spoke, not wanting to upset her or step over some invisible line, even if she sounded casual about it. “still, that must have been hard.”
“i do seem so into it. it’s something that keeps my mind off of…things.” jonathan lowered his head. “what about you? what do you do that gets your mind off of things that bother you?”
“off of... things?” orion asked, confused. the question surprised him, but he tried to think of an answer anyway. “um... studying? i know that doesn’t sound all that exciting, but...”
“oh, right. pfft. astronomy classrooms — how could i forget?” she rolled her eyes at herself, nodding slightly. “runs in the family, though … because of your powers, right? your moon powers.” she hummed. “ah, me? lil ol’ me? i fly solo. i’m an independent dragon who don’t need no rider.” she joked, smiling slightly. it wasn’t a lie. she didn’t need a rider ( not usually, anyway ), but she would be lying if she said that she didn’t sometimes want one. as the elevator doors closed, justice pushed the button for the second floor up.
he laughed lightly. “it’s fine. as far as you know, i could have been heading up there to steal a telescope or something.” not that he ever would, but the idea was a little amusing. “yep, my moon powers. or, supposed moon powers. i don’t know for sure yet,” he reminded her, and he would continue to until he knew that he did, indeed, have his father’s powers. he didn’t want to create the wrong narrative. “fair enough. i guess you get more freedom, then?” his gaze flickered to her leg. “i hope you don’t mind me asking, but are you disabled in your dragon floor as well?”

“i get that. it is a good opportunity,” she agreed, nodding slightly. “what are you studying here?” she looked over at the boy. “true, true. it’s depressing, really, but it’s the way it is.” she shrugged, puffing out her cheeks in thought. she didn’t really know what it was like to have a ‘not-so-parental’ parent, because, as much time as toothless did spend with the haddocks, he had always been there for justice, as well. “yeah, basically. a partnership,” she echoed. “it started out with my own father and my friend umbra’s father. then, every viking on berk became partnered with a dragon. and almost every dragon became partnered with a viking.” she shrugged, hobbling into the elevator when the door opened. “i suppose so.”
“astronomy. it runs in the family, i guess you could say.” sometimes he wondered whether he would be as interested in astronomy if it wasn’t for his father’s ( and probably his own ) powers, but then he would look at the night sky and see how beautiful it was, even from the isle, and all those thoughts would disappear. listening to how berk worked, he had to admit that it was interesting. he’d never heard of anything like it. “that sounds really cool, actually. so are you partnered with anyone, or do you fly solo?” pun not intended. he looked around the elevator as he stepped inside, letting justice take the lead on this one. there were too many buttons.
orion’s training starts out well enough, and he slowly begins to progress. then the eclipse happens.
the first time orion went out to test his powers was three nights after his arrival in auradon, the full moon he’d been told about. he’d wanted to gain a head start on his studies before doing anything else, but he’d finally felt that he was sufficiently caught up to a point where he could take a break.
not that this could be really considered a break, as he was sure this would take just as much work as his studies, if not more so.
he went into the forest, finding it the safest place. it helped that there wasn’t as much light pollution out there. he could see the moon clearly, just as he wanted. just as he needed.
concentrating, he called upon the moon’s energy. he felt nothing at first, and for the first few daunting seconds, he thought nothing would happen. he hadn’t inherited his father’s powers, rendering him useless. he was going to have to find some other way to fight.
then he felt it. it was a warm feeling that spread from his fingertips to his hands, his wrists, his arms, all the way up to his shoulders and down to his chest. he felt light and airy, as though gravity was a concept that was all in his head, yet his feet were still planted firmly on the ground. it was so strange.
he opened his eyes and tilted his head up so he could see the moon. was it just him, or was it brighter than it had been when he’d first entered the clearing?
the next step was summoning his weapon. would he even be able to? would he have to make his own? did he even need one? right now, he didn’t know, but it was worth a try. the organisation weapons were no keyblades, that much was certain, but they were compatible with magic. that had to count for something, right?
he closed his eyes again. he could still feel the moon’s power coursing through his veins, but it seemed as though it was charging up. perhaps it needed time before it could do anything. both the power and orion himself needed to grow accustomed to each other, it seemed.
slightly disappointed, yet optimistic for the following nights, he decided to return home.
the next breakthrough came about the following week. rather than willing himself to summon weapons or perform spells, he’d opted to return to the clearing and simply meditate. he would always feel his power grow stronger each night. it was a test of patience, but he was a patient person. he could handle it.
this particular night, he’d done the same thing. the only difference was that around the time he usually returned to his and lynx’s place, he felt something surge within him. on instinct, he raised his arm.
a bright light followed.
the unexpected spell had orion looking away, but he was able to see the damage it had caused. there was now a ring of dead grass forming a circle around him, too perfect to be considered a natural occurrence. he sucked in a breath and looked at his hands. he could still feel whatever power had made that spell possible, but he couldn’t see it.
that was enough for today, he decided.
then came the day of the eclipse. he’d made sure to keep a note of it ever since justice mentioned it to him, and so here he was, sitting in the forest with his specialised glasses on, meditating and waiting. he wasn’t here to watch the eclipse. he was there to see how it might affect him.
he mediated, as per his normal training routine. he’d performed a few other spells since then, but he figured there were only certain things he could do without a weapon, briefly remembering his father explaining just how many of his own attacks had involved both his magic and his claymore. for now, orion was still weaponless.
he checked his watch. it was almost time for the eclipse to reach its total point. slipping the glasses on as a precaution, he closed his eyes and waited.
his magic power continued to increase the closer the eclipse came to being total, and he started fidgeting, restless with having so much power inside of him and nowhere to unleash it. he grit his teeth as the minutes turned to seconds, and soon the sun was completely obscured.
that was when it happened.
it was as though he was being thrown out of his own body into a pool of dark water. he could see what was happening, but his vision was blurred and everything sounded muffled, like he was underwater. he thought he screamed, but he couldn’t tell. was it even his own voice leaving his lips?
everything was happening too fast. there was a sword in his hand, but he couldn’t control it. whoever was in charge of his body could, though, and they swung it this way and that, not caring what they hit. heavy tree branches were sent tumbling to the ground, the grass withering away under his feet. a patch of flowers wilted as light zapped them, but orion was sure it wasn’t electricity. that wasn’t his power. the power of the moon, on the other hand...
and suddenly he was in the air, his weapon raised over his head, aiming for the largest tree in the clearing. he screamed at whoever was in his body to stop, but to no avail. at least not until the darkness slowly started fading away and he could feel himself being pulled back into his right mind.
when he finally came to his senses, he was collapsed on the dead grass, heaving and coughing as he nursed his sore limbs. his glasses were still on, and he quickly turned to the sky. the eclipse was almost over.
he stared at his hands, leaving him with just one question.
“oh,” aiwei blinked, nodding. he hadn’t thought about that before. he’d wanted a heart before, long ago, but now he’d accepted he didn’t need it. didn’t want it. “why…shouldn’t people want to live without a heart? other than the obvious health reasons,” he said, curious now. aiwei put on a smile. “yeah! yeah, no worries, and hey, if you want any future help, just ask anyone around here – we’re generally all friendly,” he assured him.
orion had to take a moment to figure out how he should explain himself. “well... where i’m from -- where my father’s from, i should say -- there are beings called nobodies. they’re basically people who have lost their heart. some of them become monster-like creatures, but others are just the same as humans, but without a heart. i’m not sure if they’re really without a heart or if it’s the idea of a heart that they’ve lost, but either way... the nobodies that are like humans usually want their hearts back.” he knew he should say that his father was one of them, but it wasn’t something he wanted to admit to right this second. “nice, i’ll keep that in mind.”
“fate and destiny, huh? there’s a little of that in every sort of magic, i’d say. and, y’know, it’s been known that people can live without hearts. in a way,” he said, with a little knowing smile. “orion moon? you’ve got the most stellar name ever,” he grinned. and finally, he remembered to open the door, gesturing for orion to walk inside. “and here’s the astrology building!”
“people can live without hearts, but the way i’ve always been taught is that we shouldn’t want to live without a heart. at least while we’re alive. it’s a bit complicated, and i don’t completely understand it myself. i would’ve had to have lived in my dad’s time.” he understood the concept of kingdom hearts, or at least what his father had waned from it, but it was still confusing to think about when he’d never actually seen it. he laughed. “thank you, and thanks for the mini-tour. let’s hope i can remember where this place is for next time.”

“yeah, same. like, i know that i came here and all, but really? i just wanted a chance to try all the human things,” she admitted, shrugging. mainly, she wanted to try drinking and smoking, but he didn’t need to know that much. “parents can be stupid sometimes, i guess. i don’t know. i’m not one.” she shrugged, shaking her head. she didn’t understand it either, but she also didn’t dwell on it for more than a second. “mhms. back home, almost every dragon has, like, their person, you know? and i didn’t. so, i kept to myself — which was nice, i guess.” it was lonely, really. she pressed the elevator button and nudded. “yep, elevators! i’d never been in one til’ i came here, but they’re okay, i guess.” she shrugged. “i’m indifferent to them.”
“i came because... it was a good opportunity.” a good opportunity for what, exactly, he didn’t know, but he planned to find out. eventually. he couldn’t just force things to happen. “they can be. some of them are trying to make the right decisions and some of them... well, some of them can’t be considered parents at all.” growing up on the isle had shown him that much. he was lucky compared to many of the other kids there. “their person? so, it’s like a partnership?” it didn’t sound like an owner-pet situation, at least. “well, i guess they’re convenient, at least.”
“two, twelve, good enough,” she said, waving her hand dismissively. “— but still. i mean, there was the breakout, then the isle thing, and then another breakout? i wasn’t here for any of them, but i am still livid.” she shook a clenched fist, comically. “ah, i feel that. i did the same back on berk.” she gave a slight smile, shrugging a bit. “— exactly. it’s ridiculous, but they just don’t seem to care — at least, from what i’ve heard, they don’t.” she stopped at the elevator, glancing to orion. “you don’t mind elevators, do you?” she made a face, lifting one of her crutches. “clearly, stairs hate me,” she joked.
“i’m surprised that people continue to come here when it’s so dangerous.” he paused for a moment. “i understand why people from the isle come here. anything is better than living there. but why would people from auradon come? or why would their parents want them to?” it made no sense to him. he would take what he could get, but some people weren’t as unfortunate as he and the other isle kids were. “were you?” he said, mostly to be conversational. “elevators?” his eyes scanned the elevator doors. “i’ve never been in one, actually, but whatever works best for you.”
“yeah, we’ve got five star ratings on trivago,” he joked, laughing at his own quip. aiwei’s eyebrows rose at his explanation. “– okay, i’ve heard of a man on the moon but i’ve never heard of someone getting their powers from the moon. that is cool –” he was about to say the boy’s name before he realised he never got it. they reached the entrance to the building and aiwei had one hand on the door-handle and the other reaching out for a shake. “oh, my god – i’m sorry i didn’t introduce myself before – i’m aiwei. gutknecht.”
orion chuckled at the joke. “really? i guess our type of magic isn’t well-known, and i don’t completely comprehend it myself. there’s a lot of talk about fate and destiny, and heart -- can’t forget the heart.” his father’s dedication to kingdom hearts had been his downfall, really. “oh, right. i’m orion moon,” he said, shaking the boy’s hand. “nice to meet you, aiwei.”

“yeah, no problem, lots of people haven’t heard of it. i think it’s actually kinda better that way. not much attention, so we can do whatever we want under the radar,” he said. the van dorts still had some sort of access to it after all. “i’m not sure about alien experiments, but definitely aliens! i’ve met one or two, and they’ve been pretty awesome.” they were nearing the astronomy building now and aiwei pointed towards the entrance. “t-minus thirty seconds until destination. so are stars, like, your thing?”
“that sounds like a nice place to live, considering it’s a place for the dead.” he’d never thought he’d say that, but there was a first for everything. “then i’ll make sure to keep my eyes peeled for them.” he looked forward, memorising every detail of the astronomy building. he doubted that doing so would prevent him from getting lost anytime soon, but he may as well try. “pretty much. my father’s powers come from the moon, so when i was born, we assumed that i would be the same. i haven’t tested that out yet, though.”
“oh, i know. i mean, how many breakouts have there been? twelve?” she rolled her eyes, shaking her head. “the last one was … ursula, i believe? my friend umbra told me about it.” she shrugged. “— literally, though. it’s like, they go to such an effort to lock people away, but then … when those people get out, it’s the students who handle it. like, what the fuck?”
“...two, but who’s counting? two is two too many.” he would probably feel differently if children of the isle had escaped. that would just be a case of them desperately seeking safety. “i believe so. i can’t say i know much of what goes on when i’m on the isle. i just... keep to myself.” it was easier that way. “that makes no sense. the adults are more experienced and, in theory, should be more powerful, right? it would be faster for them to handle things.”
