AUTHORS NOTE: This fanfic follows after the events of Door to Phantomile and Lunatea's Veil. Those two stories are the only ones that apply to this fanfiction. There's also indicators of the beginning of an arc, so it's more clear when a specific arc ended. A few of these are seen right above the Chapter indicator. I just wanted to clear that up. Now, sit back and enjoy my first fanfiction. :)
There is a dream...
A dream which i've seem to remember from somewhere... But how?
I can't remember most of my dreams...
But there surely was a dream, that i actually just remembered...
Klonoa was floating around in nothingness. Klonoa then woke up, a strange voice called out to him. It sounded familiar, but he couldn't recall where he heard it before.
Strange Voice: K...Klonoa... help our world... once more...
Klonoa opened his eyes, as he saw nothing around him. He was still floating around in the void of nothingness.
Klonoa: H...hello? Where... where am i...?
Klonoa saw a point where there was a bunch of light shining after that. He was getting pulled towards there.
He was getting close, it's like he was almost outside at the end of a long, dark tunnel! Where could this be leading to? What adventure lies ahead?

CHAPTER 1: I feel like i've been here before...
In a lake, near a Windy Village early in the morning, there was a cabbit fishing... nearly falling asleep, until something out of the depths from the lake began rising.
Cabbit: yawn Huh...? Did i get bait?
The water began shaking more and more around the middle of the lake. The cabbit immediately payed attention to what was going on.
Cabbit: Wait... it must be a huge fish over there!
And suddenly... out of the middle of the lake, Klonoa's body launched out of the water, and then fell back in. His body was floating around in the lake. The Cabbit seemed shocked.
Cabbit: Whoa! Is that...?
Cabbit: Wa-wait... who was that? Where did he come from...?
The Cabbit began swimming into the lake to look what it was, and saw Klonoa up close.
He wore a red jacket and red pants, yellow gloves, a blue cap, brown/white shoes and yellow gloves. Klonoa was unconscious.
Cabbit: This boy... He looks familiar to our race from the village, although with a different style. ...Huh...? He's extremely cold. Hmm... i think i should take him home with me, and take care of him.
The Cabbit grabbed Klonoa and took him to the Cabbit's own home back over at the Wind Village.
A few hours later…
It was late morning. Klonoa finally woke up, although he was a bit walk-awake. He saw that he was lying down in a comfy bed in a wooden/brick house, next to a heater which was on. It felt nicely warm.
Klonoa's clothes were put next to the heater drying, along with his Wind Ring lying down next to it.
Klonoa: Ooohhhh... Where am i...?
The Cabbit sat down next to Klonoa.
Cabbit: So you're finally awake... i'm glad to hear that. I've got some tomato soup ready if you want.
The Cabbit smiled at Klonoa.
Klonoa: ...What happened?
Cabbit: I don't know what happened, but i found you afloat at a lake close to the village this morning. I decided to pull you out of the lake and take care of you here.
Kio (Cabbit): My name is Kio. I'm a resident of the Wind Village. Who are you?
Klonoa: You're the one who saved me? Th-thanks... I'm Klonoa.
Kio: Klonoa... Where have i heard that name before?
Klonoa: Where are we, exactly?
Kio: You're in the Wind Village right now.
Klonoa: The Wind Village... Hmm...
Kio: Would you like some soup that i made?
Klonoa: Yeah... i still feel a bit cold. It was like... i was floating around in nothingness, i saw it with my own eyes. it was scary.
Kio: ...I'm sorry to hear that. Well, make yourself at home. We are truly happy to have you here. You seem like a nice guy!
Klonoa: Aww, really?
Klonoa was blushing a bit.
Kio gave Klonoa a cup of tomato soup.
Kio: Here you go!
Klonoa: Thanks.
After Klonoa was done eating/drinking his cup of soup, he put the empty cup aside on the nightstand next to the bed and stepped out of bed.
Klonoa: Ahh, i feel a bit better now. Thanks!
Kio: No problem. By the way, your clothes were kinda wet, so i put them next to the heater to dry. I think they should be completely dry by now.
Klonoa: My...clothes?
Klonoa noticed that he only had his underwear on. Klonoa was completely flushed.
Klonoa: Magya~! O-oh... okay, th-thanks...
Klonoa immediately put on his clothes.
Kio: Hmm... i don't know if it's just me, but something seems... oddly familiar about you. Have i ever seen you somewhere before?
Klonoa: I don't know, i remember something about a Wind Village... but i'm not sure what it exactly is.
Kio: Are you good to go? Are you all set to head out?
Klonoa: Yeah... i guess. Thanks for helping me out.
Kio: No problem. I'd love to help out anytime!
Klonoa opened the front door and took a step outside. The morning sun was shining beautifully, the grass was green, flowers were blooming and the sky was as blue as it could be. It was beautiful.
People were doing their business in the village like usual. Delivering fish, collecting wheat, etc. Another resident of the village greeted Klonoa.
Breezegale Resident 4: Good morning, Sir! Seems like you're a bit unfamiliar to this place. Welcome to Breezegale!
Klonoa: Breezegale?
Breezegale Resident 4: Yeah, also known as the Wind Village by some. We do things at our own pace without any rushing, and share our necessities with each other.
Klonoa (Thinking): Breezegale... Huh, Breezegale. I feel like i've been here before, a long time ago...
Klonoa: Oh, right... thanks for the bit of trivia. I'm gonna go now.
Breezegale Resident 4: See you later!
Klonoa walked through the village to see what's happening, and comes across a burned down house. There were still a bit of remains from it. Soon after, Kio came chasing after Klonoa.
Kio: Klonoa! You forgot your ri-
Klonoa: ...
Kio: ...Klonoa?
Klonoa: O-oh, it's nothing... i was just looking at this house... it looks familiar to me.
Kio: Oh, that monument? Yeah, it's something that happened about... 7 years ago.
Klonoa: 7 years ago?
Kio: Yeah, it was the home of the Village Elder. It has been blown up by the beam of a hovercraft. Or... at least that's what's been told to me. But the gravestone confirms that it was indeed the home of the Village Elder.
Klonoa (Thinking): Gravestone?
Klonoa took a look at the gravestone that was built and placed in front of the house. It described the info and such of the Village Elder, but the last quote on the grave truly shocked Klonoa...
It said "Klonoa... it was a short while... But it was wonderful... My great... child of the wind..."
Klonoa: Wait, i remember! Grandpa...!
Kio: Wait, it couldn't be... you are... THAT Klonoa?!
The whole town was silent, and all residents of his eyes were focused on Klonoa. They were shocked.
Breezegale Resident 1: Is it really him?
Breezegale Resident 2: I've heard he's the one who saved most of the villagers a lot of years ago...
Kio: Klonoa... hmm...
Kio looked at Klonoa, and he noticed all of the exact details as the one who saved him a lot of years ago. He had the exact same stuff. Yellow gloves, Blue cap, A gold ring with a green emerald...
Kio: A-ah, sorry! I totally forgot!
Kio handed back the Wind Ring to Klonoa.
Kio: I can't believe it... Klonoa, thank you!
Klonoa: Hmm?
Kio: Thank you... Thank you for saving me all those years ago!
Klonoa: Huh...? Save?
Kio: Yeah, i was trapped in a bubble when i was younger, you were the one who broke open that bubble. I never got the chance to properly thank you for it. You seriously saved my life!
Klonoa: Bubbles? Oh, i kinda remember... No problem. It's my duty to help out others in need.
Klonoa (Thinking): So... i'm finally back. Phantomile... I can't believe how time has passed already. I have no idea how i ended up here though.
Klonoa: Well, i guess i'll have to go and head off then. I'll see you all later!
Kio: Klonoa, hm...
Breezegale Resident 1: I can't believe it... he's indeed the one who saved us all.
Breezegale Resident 2: The elder really respected him. He truly was one of the nicest people i've heard of.
Breezegale Resident 3: Our hero! I can't thank him enough!
Breezegale Resident 5: He'd be sure to protect us.
Breezegale Resident 4: Klonoa... good luck on your travels.
Kio saw Klonoa head off, but still felt somewhat... unsure. He couldn't shake off this feeling, he just had to tell it to Klonoa. Kio started running after Klonoa and shouted.
Kio: KLONOA!
Klonoa: Hmm...?
Kio: I-i... i wanna...!
Kio began crying. Klonoa hugged him.
Klonoa: Don't worry, i know how you feel... It's okay. You can follow me if you want.
Klonoa looked confident at Kio.
Kio: R-really?
Klonoa: Of course. I've gotta find out why i was sent here...
Klonoa looked at his Wind Ring, and said with a bit of a sad tone...
Klonoa: And to find one of my old friends that time forgot.
Kio: T-thank you. I'm really grateful!
Klonoa: Come on, buddy. Let's go together. Rupurudu!
Klonoa and Kio took off, as the rest of the Breezegale Residents were waving them goodbye.
