Sora was shaking in fear for the first time since all of this chaos started; his hands continuing to give off slight vibrations as he glanced at the cold stone wall with pure obscurity about everything. He wasn't a young boy running around with a fancy metal key anymore. He was Sora, The Keyblade Master, the boy who wielded the mightiest weapon of all. He wasn't supposed to be scared; he wasn't supposed to be afraid of anything. Just look at Riku, he wasn't afraid of the Darkness, now why should he? The boy quivered softly before lowering his glance toward the metal object shimmering in the dim light. Donald and Goofy were probably looking for him, but he couldn't bare to feel that feeling again.
The 14 year old boy began to cradled himself inside his knees, rocking back and forth in his feeble attempts of calming him down. It didn't work; Sora was frightened of the darkness, he feared it just as everyone did except Riku. The boy stifled his movements for a second before balling up his fist and placing it on his chest, critically thinking for the first time since everything happened with tints of depression swelling in his royal blue irises. He had failed everyone.. Goofy, Donald.. Rik-. Sora winced at the thought of losing his best friends at Destiny Islands just a few hours ago. He had a job to do, to protect them, and he failed miserably. The brunette haired boy carefully closed his eyes right before a rather naive thought quirked upon his mind.
Those two could be in deep trouble! Riku, he was counting on him to find him! And Kairi.. She was counting on him too! They couldn't survive the worlds without his help! The sudden thought eradicated all thoughts of even the slightest amount of depression. Maybe he hadn't failed everyone; maybe he was just getting started with this journey. Sora glanced up from the safety of his knees, the feeling of determination and thoughts of his friends returning to the sanctuary of his thoughts. Riku, he was counting on him to find him!

" Don't Worry.. Riku. Kairi.. I'm going to find you.. and I'm going to make everything right," He whispered softly to himself before pulling up on the cobblestone flooring of Traverse Town, slowly recovering his balance.
"Sora!"
The boy glanced over his shoulder, pinpointing the sound with his he smile broadening as he was nearly tackled by a abnormally large dog, otherwise known as Goofy with his best friend waddling near his side.
" Where've you been?! Me and Goofy and been looking everywhere!" Donald proclaimed before pointing Violetta at Sora with a playful treat, " Don'cha ever do t'at again!"
Sora shrugged before looking over at Goofy, his smile broadened as he quickly stepped toward both of the animals, and wrapped his arms around them to admister a soft hug. Everyone fell silent until Sora carefully uttered a word under his breath, "Sorry, I'll make sure I don't run off next time."
Both Donald and Goofy nodded while giving the boy the hug back before finally breaking off, Sora starting to lead the way.
