Epilogue: Road goes on
Well I did it.
Defeat Xehanort, saved the universe, and my best friends. All in all, can't complain, and I made a lot of new friends along the way. So that's always a plus for me. On the downside though, I'm not home, at least not yet. But that's okay, I feel okay, everything is going to be okay.
I'm happy.
Really, really happy!
Oh sure I'm not home yet like I said earlier, but hey you know what that's okay. I know Kairi and mom will still be waiting for me. Man, I hope they're okay though. I think about them a lot. But I'm not alone, I have Donald and Goofy by my side to keep me company. They are truly great friends, family even, like Riku and Kairi. Boy do I have a weird but big family. Though that just means more love and friendship to share all around.
Some of you think I'm being a bit forgiving of Riku for you know, joining the darkness and trying to kill. That's fine if you think that, but here's the thing ...I'mthe one choosing to forgive him okay. Me...That is my choice, you may not agree but that's my choice, and I'm the one making it. Though I do hope he'll be able to atone and make up for what he did...I think he can, in fact I know he can. Maybe he'll even have his own companions along the way.
I know the King is with him, and from what Donald and Goofy have told me about the King, he seems like a great pal to have.
Donald and Goofy
I couldn't ask for better friends to be with me by my side. Of course I would have loved Riku and Kairi to be with me too. Maybe one day we could all go on an epic quest together, all five of us. That would be awesome.
For now though, I just need to find my way back home. I don't really know where I'm going, how I'm gonna get there, or what I'll find. I just know that I have my friends by my side, and that nothing is gonna beat me because of it. It might be naive to think that, but you know what I just feel that optimistic about.
"Hey Sora" Goofy said, "You look happy"
I just look at him and nod, "Yeah, yeah I am...First time in what seems like a while"
"I'm glad Sora, I feel that way too honestly...Even though I know we got a ways to go, I just feel like we did something amazing together. Defeating the darkness and all that stuff"
Donald nodded, "Yeah, we beat Xehanort"
"Together" I added, because it was true, we did it together and that's what's gonna allow us to keep moving forward.
"Hey guys look!"
I looked up to see an orange dog with a letter in its mouth.
"Pluto!" Donald seemed shocked.
"Who?"
"The kings best pal" Goofy replied.
The King! Well he must be important. I do like dogs, even though to be honest...I'm kinda more of a cat person. That being said I still get on my knees to look him in the eye with a big smile. He's kinda cute. Wonder if he can talk.
"Hey, have you seen the king"
And like that...He ran off.
Turning to Donald and Goofy I merely smile and nodded…..I knew then, my adventures were only just starting.
Remember Sora
You are the one who will open the door to light.
