There seems to be an ongoing issue with the published format.

Updating again, I hope it's fixed, thanks for those letting me know.

"This is proof that everyone hates you!"

A really harsh thing to say without even thinking, especially to a young child.

Tokkori pointed an accusing finger to little Kirby, who's heart had been broken mere seconds ago by the bird's words, the yellow bird kept talking about even harsher things, like how everyone would cheer if he disappeared.

The young star-warrior, too heartbroken to keep listening, got his favorite watermelon, wrapped it in a piece of cloth and left; Tokkori, lost in his words didn't notice this until he was already alone.

Kirby kept walking towards Kabu's place, being the only "person" he could say goodbye to. He could easily go without telling anyone else, they hated him, Didn“t they? Why would they care at all?

"Kirby, are you going on a journey? Kabu predicted this, Kabu knew you would come here. Kirby, it's been exactly one year since then"

The pink child had been remembering his good times at the village, there were many! It would make it harder for him...

He started to cry

"What are you doing in such a place?"

Kirby looked up

"It's almost sunset. Shouldn't you head home soon?"

His mentor Sir Meta Knight was in front of him, Of course! In his sadness he forgot about him; he calmed down a bit and in his "baby-like" language, which only his species understood told him half of his reason, that he had to go; without mentioning the part of all hating him, it was too hurtful to think about it, one thing he was completely grateful for was when said Knight not only understood and comprehended his words but didn't ask any more about it nor questioned his reasons. And turning to the sky he said

"So then I guess I'll see you again, someday." Turning to look at him added "It has been a great pleasure to meet you, Kirby."

Knowing that his instructor and until now, guardian did not nor would hate him for his decisions he turned and with the smallest sense of reassurance, left. Knowing that somebody would be waiting for him to ever come back and actually CARED for him or at least that he was going away.

Sir Meta Knight just stood there, motionless, staring with a small tinge of emotional pain; he had to stay strong and let him go. Kirby needed this, to learn to defend, fight and live for himself just as most members of their species had done before.

It was with this reasoning in mind that the Knight stood there, watching with a mixed sense of pride and sadness, the last spark of hope against Nightmare Enterprises walk away from his sight...

- Has it already been a year Kirby? How quickly time passes...

It hadn't been until some time had passed, the sun already settled and the moon entirely out that certain yellow bird, flying as fast as he could; interrupted Meta Knight's thoughts

"Hey Kirby! W-Where's Kirby?"

"He's gone"
