When I managed to pull myself back together, I noticed they were all at Triton's castle. I tried to wipe my eyes, but then I remember I was in the water. It all blended in. Boy am I stupid sometimes….
I swam trying to catch up, but they were too ahead of me. Luckily I had practice swimming for a few days so I caught up pretty easily. I stayed behind a column, remaining well hidden as I saw the next scene.
Triton had just blasted a heartless, "That was too close." Ariel, the red headed mermaid, smiled at her father and swam over to him as he continued, "Ss long as I have my trident, I will not tolerate those creatures inside this palace."
"Daddy!" she exclaimed.
"Oh, Ariel! When will you listen? It's dangerous out there! Strange creatures lurk outside." He lectured, eyeing Sora and his strange group.
Sebastian cleared his throat, "Beholds. You swim before the ruler of the seas: his Majesty, King Triton."
"And who are they?"
"They helped us fight off those creatures." Ariel informed her dad.
"They don't look familiar."
"We're from an ocean very far away." Sora replied. An ocean far away…. How original. Man I've been in the dark too long. Now I'm thinking sarcastically.
"Yup. We came to find the Keyhole." The turtle replied, swimming around Sora.
"The what?" Triton said.
"What's that?" asked Ariel, brimming with curiosity.
"Well, it's a—"Goofy began, still continuing to swim.
King Triton narrowed his eyes, interrupting Goofy, "There's no such thing. Certainly not here."
"But, daddy…" Ariel began to plead, but her dad wouldn't have it.
"Ariel, not another word! You are not to leave the palace. Is that clear?" Her dad commanded. She understood, but quickly swam away. Sora and his gang decided to follow her.
I decided I'd seen enough. I quickly transported myself, using dark magic sadly, to Ursula's Grotto. When I arrived, I saw her watching Sora and Ariel in her magical cauldron, her two pet eels, Flotsam and Jetsam, lurking near in the image. She laughed, wickedly, "Those impudent fools will never find the Keyhole. But the girl could prove useful. And I've got the heartless on my side. Triton, my old friend… your day is coming." She laughed again, still not noticing me.
This is getting really old. First the old hag sends me to assist another hag with multiple arms or legs. Then I get ignored for days. I could go back and say Ursula didn't need help, but then I'd have to face Riku. And I'm not ready to face him yet.
I don't think I've mentioned how boring this world really is. It had no point. I wont bored you with the details but basically Triton apparently destroyed something valuable to his daughter Ariel, and she swam off crying. Triton knew Sora and his gang weren't from this world. He told them to leave. But would they listen of course not.
I was staring in Ursula's special cauldron, watching what was going on. Lucky for me the witch, I can't tell who's older Ursula or Maleficent, was gone. I saw Ariel laying her head down on a big rock, crying. It was probably her dad again. He seemed to have a bad temper.
"My, my, the poor child suffers such deep sorrow." One of the eels said, I think it was Jetsam. I could barely tell them apart.
"What a pity. If only there were something we could do…" Flotsam replied. Ok its official these eels give me the creeps.
"Wait. Maybe she can be of some help." By now they were swimming around Ariel. I really hate these eels. They creep me out and scare me.
"Yes. Maybe she can be of some help to you."
"Who're talking about?" Ariel asked who by now was looking up, wiping her nonexistent tears. Do I need to go over this again? We are under water. Tears just float away. I should know.
"Oh, she would surely help you. She'd make all your dreams come true. Ursula can surely help…" the eels trailed off before disappearing in a cloud of inky smoke. Ariel remained looking up at where they disappeared but not for long seeing as Ursula appeared in their place, saying, "You called my dear?"
"You're Ursula? I was just wondering if—"Ariel began.
"It's all right. Helping others is what I live for. Let me guess. You wish to see other worlds. That shouldn't be too hard. After all, your new friends came from another world." Ursula told her, casually.
"What?"
"But they had special help—that mysterious key." Ariel put her hand on her chest and sighed sadly, "Now, now. Cheer up, sweetie. You have something special, too." Ursula paused, probably for dramatic effect before revealing her plan on how to secretly get the Trident. "Now listen carefully. I think the keyhole they seek is somewhere in the palace. Now, my dear, if you can take me there without your daddy knowing… I can help you get to these other worlds you long for. "She, meaning Ursula, was clearly lying. I mean really who believes an octopus anyway under their right minds?
I'll spare you the details of what happens next and just give you a brief summary. Ursula steals the Trident. Sora and his friends try to get it back. Ursula turns into a giant. Sora defeats her and locks the keyhole. The best thing out of all of this was besides the fact of avoiding Riku; I got to witness the end of Flotsam and Jetsam. I seriously had a mini party when Sora destroyed them. Sadly I had to go so I summoned a portal and headed back to Hallow Bastion and went straight to Maleficent, with aching legs. You try swimming almost non stop for a few days and see how what it does to you legs once you get them back.
The old hag was pissed as usual, but she noticed I was in pain and sent me off. I went straight to my room and laid down, thanking the unknown forces that I managed not to run into Riku. Turns out he was still in Neverland so I was spared. But what I've noticed lately is my lack of visions of Sora. Maybe it's cause I've been following him lately. But even now, nothing. Could it be that I've dwelled in the darkness to long? I shrugged these thoughts off and went into a deep slumber.
I woke up a few hours later, though it felt like minutes, with my legs still aching terribly. I moaned because of the pain.
"Shut up." Someone else was in my room. I opened my eyes to see Riku sitting in the chair next to my bed. "Did ya miss me?" he smirked. Dammit.
I am so sorry for not updating sooner! I've been busy with finishing school. I'm finally a senior *does happy dance* and then after that I had serious writer's block. please forgive me and review. *hands out a pie to everyone who reads to shows forgiveness*
