Chapter 7: For a Moment
Back at the palace, Iris and Ventus waited on their ship for news from Eraqus, Iris had used her magic to communicate with him immediately after Axel cracked… again. Eraqus arrived, but with no news. Iris began to cry.
"Oh Daddy, I'm so worried." Iris said. Her daughter was out there all alone, and it was all her fault.
"Everything's going to be alright Iris." Eraqus said calmly, for once. "We have search parties scouring the entire Koz World and the ocean. I'm going to join them now myself."
Iris clutched at Ventus and he rubbed her shoulder.
"Iris, maybe you should go with him." Ventus said.
"But Ven-" Iris began, but Ventus cut her off.
"I need to stay here to lead the search on land, but you know these waters, and you know our daughter. You have to go."
"It may be dangerous." Eraqus said. He was thinking of Morgana, and that vendetta she talked about twelve years ago.
"Ven's right, Daddy." Iris said. "I should have known I couldn't keep Surane from the sea. It's a gateway to what part of her is, and what part of me is. I have to go."
Eraqus ignited his Keyblade as Iris and Ventus had a quick but passionate kiss.
"Bring her home." Ventus said.
"Forgetting someone?" Leon said smiling. "You don't think I'd let you go out there alone now did ya?"
Iris smiled and stood next to Leon as Eraqus pointed his Keyblade at them, and they were enveloped in a golden glow. Iris turned into the Mermaid she once was, and Leon turned back into the Merman he once was.
The two siblings then dived down into the Koz World!
Meanwhile, Surane and Ienzo were still at the outskirts of Morgana's cave exploring their newly gained abilities. Ienzo was swimming like he'd done it all his life, except he still fell a few inches if he lost concentration.
"This is so cool!" Surane said.
"I know!" Ienzo said.
They rested their heads on a block of ice and starred upwards. Ienzo then noticed a large sea-lion starring inquisitively at them.
"Hello ma'am." Ienzo said smiling. "Ienzo, son of Leon, at your service."
Ienzo then fell on top of Surane.
"Ouch!" Surane said.
"Sorry." Ienzo responded as Surane laughed at flung water at him with her newly gained magic, and Ienzo defended, barely, by turning it into a sheet of ice that knocked him in the head.
Okay, get a grip. Get a hang of these flipper here.
It's like slipping two feet into one big slipper.
This way is left, now which way is right?
Oh now I'll be circling in circles all night.
"Surane, I think I've got it!" Ienzo said as he swim up and moved forward. "No problems." He then bashed his head into an iceberg. "Except that."
I can't believe we can do this and more.
To swim in the sea like we walk on the shore.
Ienzo smiled and walked up to a clam he found.
Out of our shells, not closed up like a clam.
Gotta see! This is me! Here I am!
For a moment, all of me,
Is alive and at home by the sea.
Small swirling and turning,
So graceful and grand,
Not stubbing my toes getting stuck on the sand!
Ienzo listened to Surane singing. He was happy for her, and he knew she wanted this, but he wondered, could they keep it. Eh! Let it wait until it came up!
For a moment, life is cool!
I'm a splash in the world's biggest pool!
This is more than my thoughts ever thought it could be!
For a moment, just a moment, lucky me!
Meanwhile, Iris and Leon were checking Iris's old grotto, and Iris looked at a surviving pipe Sora had given her when she still thought it was called a snarf black. She couldn't help but blame herself for all this.
If only for one moment,
I had shared with you all I know.
The sea wouldn't be a mystery.
Oh why did you have to go!
Iris cried slightly as Leon comforted her.
Surane and Ienzo watched as several seals jumped into the sea using a patch of ice as a slide.
Everything's newer,
And brighter and bluer.
And truer to life than before!
Watch me sore!
For a moment, I can shine!
Got a grin and a fin, that works fine.
My fingers are wrinkly, I really don't care.
And all of those curls have curled out of my hair!
For a moment, I can feel,
All the dreams I've been dreaming are real!
She touched her necklace, and Ienzo put his hand on her shoulder to know he understood.
Wish my mother could hear it.
The sea is my song.
For a moment, just a moment, I belong!
Iris and Leon arrived at the place Iris picked the petals off of flowers the first time she saw Ventus, and Iris picked up one of the new flowers.
I will find you my darling.
And the moment that I do,
I'll hold you close, my Surane,
And sing the song of the sea with you!
Sing the song of sea with you!
Surane and Ienzo stood on an iceberg before going back to Morgana as they smiled at the bright sun.
For a moment, just a moment, I belong!
Chaos: I just LOVE this song so much!
Surane: I know!
Iris: I just can't believe that me and Surane sang this song! Take it away Aqua and FAST!
Aqua: Alright! Chaos dose not own the little mermaid or kingdom hearts, but she owns Iris and Surane belongs to SuraneSpiral!
