Hey folks, long time no writing for me. Oh yeah, I won't write persona 4 for a while, because my save date is gone. And I am too bored to start all over again. So for the time being I will write Kingdom Hearts : Chain of Memories as my new story. Sorry for the selfishness. LOL
enjoy! :)
I forgot to count days now, since we three were walking without destination. After we found Pluto with King's letter in his mouth; me, Donald, and Goofy promised each other to keep walking on in order to find Riku and King Mickey. But now, we just kept walking without even knowing where to go.
"A-hyuk," Goofy yelped. "I am too thirsty," he said. Sweats all over his face. "Can you spell any water magic, Donald?" he pleaded.
"Aw, Goofy, I don't know if I had any magic power left. I am too tired to cast any spell right now," Donald whined.
Well, it sure hot like they said. I didn't know how much longer we need to keep walking on like this. Around us just field, field, and more field.
I sighed. I wished we would find river ahead.
Until now, I still can't believed I actually doing this kind of adventure. It's fun actually. But in other side, it was painful. I wanted everything came back to normal again.
"C'mon guys, it's gonna be late soon and we have to find somewhere to settle up " I said.
It's almost twilight when we found somewhere flat and shaded. Donald casted fire spell to some old, dried woods for bonfire. We ate some wild fruits but they weren't enough to fill our big stomach.
"Shit, I'm still hungry," I grunted. I laid down, trying to close my eyes, never mind the churning stomach.
"Me too -hyuk," said Goofy. "Maybe we better sleep so we can forget our hunger," then he laid down too.
"Me too," said Donald. "Good night Sora, good night Goofy."
"G'nite all," I said. Turning to the other side.
It's not long until I reached the Dreamland. I dreamt about Kairi and Riku and our days in Destiny Island. Until I fell from coconut tree and made me awake from sleep. I looked at Goofy and Donald, they still slept.
Figures.
I looked around. Nobody but us. But surely like somebody were watching over us just now...
I decided to look around.
Nobody.
I was watching the stars above until mysterious voice surprised me.
"Along the road ahead lies something you need,"
I was surprised that my heart almost dropped, I'd say. I turned slowly to the back, but he was gone. It confused me more. I began to turn right and left searching for the mysterious voice existence.I turned back, and he was there.
A black hooded man.
"However-" he continued. "...in order to claim it. you must lose something that dear to you.." then he went away. Disappeared.
"What was that...?" I muttered. I ran towards our shelter, waking up Goofy and Donald.
"Goofy, Donald! C'mon guys wake up!" I shouted.
"Yaaawwwnnnnnnn, what happened Sora? You looked like you've seen a ghost," said Donald.
"Yes! I've seen a GHOST! IT IS A BLACK HOODED MAN!" I pitched.
"WAAAKKK!" Donald surprised. "Where! where is he?" He asked in panic hiding behind Goofy.
"No, Donald! I was just kidding. There's a man and he said something strange. But my instict said we have to pursue him!" I explained.
"Sora! What I say about not to talk to strangers!" Donald held his wand up high.
"C'mon Donald! Don't acted like a mother, anyway we got to pursue this man or otherwise we'll lose him!" I said convincingly.
"I don't know Donald, but Sora's instinct is always right. Well, maybe this black hooded man knows something about King's Mickey and Riku," Goofy said. Thanks God.
Donald put his arms on his chest, thinking. "C'mon Donald! We haven't got a clue until now, maybe that man could lead us to something!" I persuaded.
"Awwwkay..." he gave up.
"Great! Let's move on guys!"
We walked down the field until we saw a big castle ahead. The shape was pretty unique.
"A-hyuukk! What Castle is this?" Goofy asked, worried.
"I didn't see any black hooded man here, Sora," Donald said, checking around.
I was staring to the castle, and then I heard a whisper.
I couldn't catch what it said, but like it pulled me closer to the castle. I took a step.
"Whoa, Sora where are you going?" Donald asked.
"We are going in guys," I said.
"Whoa, Sora! You can't just barge in to someone's castle like that!" Goofy shouted.
But it's too late. I already pushed the castle's door. I entered the castle, then followed by Goofy and Donald. The inside was white all over.
"Hey, ya think it's OK to barge in?" Goofy asked once again, WORRYLY.
"But we gotta do it, if we're gonna find the king..." said Donald, with the made up tone in the last sentence , looking at me.
"The king? King Mickey's here?" Goofy surprised.
"Well, something just told me he'd be here, okay..." Donald answered.I thought he might be feeling that my instinct were true.
"Really, 'cause now that ya mention it, I was kinda thinkin' the same thing." Goofy said, began to calm a little bit.
"Seriously? Me too! One look at the castle, and I just knew," I said happily. "Our very best friends- They're here..." I put my hands on my chest. Suddenly it felt really warm. I wished my thinking were true.
"A-hyuuk! Guess great minds think alike," Goofy said excitedly.
"Wait, hey hold on!" a cricket appeared. It's Jiminy. "It can't be just coincidence!" He yelped.
"Ah Jiminy! Where have you been?" I asked.
"Oh sorry, I think I have been sleeping all day in your hood Sora." He smiled.
"Oh no Jiminy," Donald pulled us back to the topic again. "You don't mean that-" He stopped.
Jiminy fixed his hat position, "Yep! I had it too, mm-hmm! I had the exact same feeling", he said it seriously.
"Gawrsh, maybe it's contagious." Goofy concluded.
"No, no. Something's screwy. We gotta go take a look," said Donald. Now, he's getting more interested.
"All right," I said. Walked ahead.
"WAAK! where are YOU going?" Donald asked.
"That way-" I pointed to the door upon us. "-to the door. Are ya scared?" I made a face, laughing at him.
"Aw, don't be ridiculus! Come on, let's go Goofy!" he dragged Goofy along.
"Okay, but shouldn't we close the door behind us before we go?" He looked at the front door. "Sora!"
A black-hooded man appeared and the gate was closed by itself.
"That's him! Who are you?" I asked furiously, out the keyblade.
Goofy and Donald also prepared by their own weapon. The black-hooded man took steps closer to us.
"Wak! Heartless!" Donald jumped. "Oh yeah? I'll try some magic!" He pointed his wand to the man. "THUNDER!" he shouted.
But...nothing happened.
It took seconds until Donald realized that his magic weren't working. "What happened? Come on! THUNDER! THUUUUUNNNDDEEERRR!" But no thunder were coming out.
"Oh come on," he pleaded. "Blizzard? FIRE?" pointing his wand everywhere. But still nothing happened.
The black-hooded man kept shortening his distance to us. Made us more aware.
"Why isn't it working?" Donald whined. Me and Goofy were confused.
"I should think it's obvious," he said. "The moment you set foot in this castle, you forgot every spell and every ability you ever knew. In this place, to find is to lose and to lose is to find. That is the way in Castle Oblivion." He added.
"Castle Oblivion?" I muttered. My grasp on Keyblade were no longer tight.
"Yes... Here you will meet people you know. People you miss.."
There's a flow of darkness around his body, then he sunk to the ground as if it swallowed him. Then he emerged back behind me. "Here you will meet people that you have known in the past. And you will meet people you miss," he added.
"I miss..." I mumbled. Thinking of who and whatsoever that I would miss. Then a thought surprised me. "Riku! You mean Riku's here?" I shouted excitedly.
"If what you want... is to find him..." he held his hand toward me then a magic like wind attacked me. It was so strong I almost fell. When it stopped the man seemed like he went through me. Is he a phantom? I asked to myself. I immediately woke up from my amazement then turned around quickly, jumped up high with Keyblade were steady in my hands. The position were perfect, with one swing it would hit his head. But he's already gone. He was so fast. I turned back, then he emerged at the front of the door I previously pointed.
"What'd you do?" I asked.
"I merely sampled your memories," he answered. "And from them, I made this" He showed a blue card with a place picture on it. "To reunite with those you hold dear-" He threw the card to me.
"What's this, a card?" I asked confusedly. Now, what again?
"It is a promise for the reunion you seek. Hold the card to open the door. And beyond it, a new world." He said as he gestured to the door. "Proceed, Sora. To lose and claim anew, or to claim anew only to lose..." then he disappeared.
"Wait!" I shouted but it's too late.
We four checked the card. "Hey look!" Jiminy shouted. "There's a written! It said 'Transverse Town' !"
"A-hyuk, you're right Jiminy!" said Goofy.
"Okay, let's go!" I walked toward the door. "Wait! There's no handle? How do I suppose to open it?" I asked, checking the door surface.
"Use the card maybe?" Jiminy suggested. I held the card high up, then it shone. The door opened. I smiled to Jiminy.
"Ready guys?" I asked. Then we all entered.
