Klonoa; The legacy of Nahatomb
(Opening music: "I had a new dream. A dream where my sorrow would dissipate and darkness would disappear. Where loneliness was gone and the joy of company would be fulfilled. Have you ever had that dream?...)
Klonoa wiped the tears from his eyes as he turned around and walked away expecting Lunatea to dissolve into nothingness giving way to a new unknown.
As the trees, bushes and lakes started to dissipate around him into a transparent whirlpool it suddenly stopped.
Klonoa froze puzzled. He was standing a few feet away from Lolo. Nothing was happening. The breeze was still blowing and everything was still.
He walked back toward the high priestess with consternation but relief at the same time.
"What going on?" He asked himself.
It had happened like that since he learned from Huepow that he simply skipped from dream world to dream world to set everything straight until an invisible hand took him away.
It was traumatic the first time, because he was not prepared for it. But now, after so many times, he had become accustomed of accepting this cruel destiny. Just when he had made friends and settled in a new place, this invisible force would pull him away into another world.
But this time, when the time to leave was upon him, it felt very painful since he had become very fond of Lolo.
She was still in tears at the edge of the bay looking at the sea when she was able to see Klonoa once again standing in front of her.
"I am still here….." said Klonoa. "I don't understand scratching his head looking at the wind ring.
"I prayed to our goddess that you would be able to stay….." said Lolo blushing and throwing herself to the arms of the Cabitt.
Klonoa hugged her tightly, feeling her warmth so close. He regretted to admit it but he wanted to stay with her as well.
He felt warm inside and for the first time he did not feel rushed or pressured.
"What do I do now?" He asked biting his lower lip with worry as he held Lolo's shoulders.
"Where will I live?"
"You can come and live with me….." said Lolo faintly and blushing at the same time.
"Would you do that for me?..." exclaimed Klonoa surprised by the offering.
"Sure!" "said Lolo with a smile on her face. "You will like it here"
"I don't think Popka will approve…" said Klonoa chuckling at the idea.
"He will understand" said Lolo confidently.
"No way!" said Popka among barks and snarls.
"Come on Popka" said Lolo begging for understanding. "At least until we are able to find out if there is anything that's causing Klonoa to stay here or if finally fate has giving him a chance to settle.
"Fine, fine… Just don't hug or kiss in my presence. It's revolting"
"Hey! I am being a good friend here!, that's all" protested Lolo.
"It doesn't seem like it when you are doing that hugging thing…." Replied Popka. "Fine, at least until we find out if this is the way things are supposed to be"
As night fell, they walked to the carnival to play and had a lot of fun. The world was safe from the kingdom of Sorrow as it was being rebuilt far away and the king was to be reborn and given a second chance in life.
Nighttime was calm in Lunatea as everybody went to their homes to get some sleep. It had been a restless time..
