hey hey hey. i am not a new user, i am formerly known as advent shadow. for those of you following To Kiss The Stars, it will be continued under this pen name, but for now is on hiatus. I am going to be doing some work in the Kingdom Hearts area for a bit. So please enjoy.
disclaimer: i dont own anything. King's Gate is the name i have given to the world that never was. i just think that it is too long of a name, so i renamed it. it still belongs to square enix and disney and whoever else. DON'T SUE ME!!
summary: a bit random, i'm not really sure of the plot at the moment, but i'll try to keep it interesting. basically, soon after returning to Destiny Island, Riku doesn't want to be there, so he leaves, leaving behind only a note. Ooooo...the suspense.
Riot
prologue : Let the Flames Begin
What a shame we all became
Such fragile broken things
a memory remains, just a tiny spark
I give it all my oxygen
so let the flames begin
Let the flames begin, oh glory...
Look at them, so happy. So consumed in one another. It's all I've been doing since we came back is watch them. Everyone seems to be watching them lately. Lost in their own little world, those two are. Even I barely talk to them anymore, and I was once called theor best friend. I suppose I still am, though it really doesn't feel like it. Then again, nothing feels the same anymore. We've changed so much over the past two years, Sora and I. But not Kairi, she's still the same little girl that showed up on the island that day. Homeless, with no family, and no idea what had happened to her. Honestly, I think she's the bravest of all of us.
I remember when I'd found out my parents had died. I was eight, and it was storming outside. They had gone out for their anniversary, and they never made it home. I lived with my uncle until he came down with cancer, then he died as well. I was thirteen. Since then, I've been on my own. With Sora and Kairi at my side, of course. But not anymore. Of course, I had known all along that it was only a matter of time before they 'found each other' so to speak. I expected it, but it still hurt. After all, I'm only human. I'm not some pit of despair, harboring no emotion towards anything or anyone. I was hurt by it.
Now, don't get me wrong. I would never be jealous of them. It's more like...I'm not sure... I suppose I'm jealous of what they have. I think...maybe I just miss them. And I'm going to continue to miss them. I just think...there's nothing left here for me anymore. I'm ready to leave. I've already got everything I want packed. And I wrote them a note. It's there, just down the road, hiding in Sora's mailbox. Everything I'll need is in my backpack. And my parents left me with more than enough money to live on.
So here I go, back into the house for the last time. Empty gasoline containers are thrown about the living room of the small one story house. I just have to light the match, and it'll burn down. But the memories...those will be with me forever.
oh glory...
This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing, yeah
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down
This is how we'll be, oh glory...
The prologue is complete. The lyrics are Paramore "Let the Flames Begin."
