Roxas

Roxas looked at the wooden carving of a small group of friends. He was in the middle with a girl at his right and a man at his left. Every time he looked at it he would feel a warm feeling inside him, but he didn't remember how he got it from the start. He grabbed it careful not to break it and looked under it.

Was friends, are friends, always friends.

He smiled. "Was friend, are friends, always friends." He repeated. "I like that, but…" He frowned. "Who are you?" He asked the carving.

It stood motionless and he placed it on his bedside table.

He dressed up and got ready to meet Hayner, Pence, and Olette.


Six days later

Master Yen Sid watched Rika's sleeping form worried by the fact that she hasn't told him anything about her visions.

Was she keeping them a secret or did she have no visions for the past year?

"Sora…" Rika whispered and he frowned.

He was sure that she had visions and was keeping it from him.

The question was why?

He could easily use his magic to see those visions, but he didn't want to hurt her. He retreated back to his desk and waited for the boy she had long waited for.


I walked towards Yen Sid's desk and he looked at her.

"Good morning Rika," He said. "Hello, Master Yen Sid." I said.

He shook his head. "No, my dear, call me Yen Sid. You are no longer my student." He said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"The boy you are looking for is near." He said and I froze.

"Sora? He's here?" I asked.

"Not here, just near." He chuckled.

I smiled.

"And when they come and set off for their journey, that time is your time to leave me." He said.

"Leave you?" I asked.

He nodded. "I have taught you all I know and all the knowledge of the journey ahead of you. You are a very bright student." He said.

I blushed and bowed. "Thank you, Master- I mean, Yen Sid." I said.

He smiled and we both looked at the door. "Ah, we have visitors. Who do you think they are?" He asked.

"I'm certain they're not Sora, Donald, and Goofy." I said.

"We'll let the three travelers handle the job." He said lacing his fingers and looking at me.

I walked to the window and watched the three figures walk out from a purple train.
