Chapter 1: The road to Dawn.
I turned around at the sound of footsteps. There, walking straight towards me was the king…and Riku.
They were both wearing the same black hood things that DiZ had given me.
"Riku…" I walked over to him excitedly to stand next to him. I gave him a big and happy hug first though. He happily returned the embrace before we both turned to DiZ.
"What are you making me choose now?" Riku asked him.
"Between the road to light and the road to darkness." The man answered.
Riku stayed quiet, looking back and forth between the roads.
Finally, "Neither suits me." The king looked up at Riku with a shocked expression as Riku walked away from us and past DiZ. "I'm taking the middle road."
"Do you mean the twilight road to nightfall?" DiZ asked him. Riku stopped at the front of the path.
"No. It's the road to dawn." He simply answered, glancing back at us. He looked at me with a glance.
"And you…" DiZ looked at me. "What path will you choose? The road to light or the road to darkness?"
I looked back at Riku who was only standing there. I looked between the paths, and began to think. When I finally came to a conclusion, I spoke up.
"If this were just any other case, I would choose the road to light," I smiled before continuing. "But being as it isn't any old case, I don't choose either road. I'm going with Riku." I walked over to Riku, and smiled at him. "Not only is it the road to dawn…but it's the road to a new beginning…and a new journey." I turned around and looked back at the King.
"Don't worry your majesty…I'll walk the road with him too." Mickey smiled and nodded his head.
With one last glance from behind me, we began to walk off…on the road to dawn.
