Everything is same. The sun slowly rises up to its rightful place and shines upon a little campsite in the forest. The campsite was small compare to the fire beside it. The fire was put out for a while now as the smoke rises up to dance with the sunlight creating a beautiful scene of lonely. A young black cat woke up as he was embraces by the warm sunlight and surrounds by the cold smoke. He yawns as he got up, careful as to not breathes in the smoke around him and starting to do his stretches. This is his usual morning routine. He looks around his surroundings. The birds were singing a sweet medley only for the sun to hears. The flowers rising up, trying their best to reach for the sun's throne. The trees trying their best to keep up with the wind in a light dance. "Everything is same." He said as he starts walking away from the campsite. It doesn't matter if he leaves it there, he knows that he will return again.
Despite the sun already being up, the forest is still sleeping in the cover of the darkness. The young hero continues his walk, not affected by this feeling of fear that someone would normally feel if they would walk by themselves in the forest, but the young hero doesn't feel this feeling anymore. After walking down the same path countless time by now, he doesn't remember when was the last time that he felt fear. As he continues his walk in the sleeping forest, he can see the shadow of the trees laughing, and pointing at him for his failure, he didn't care. He just continues his path out of the dark infested forest.
Everything is same. A little house sitting on a hill, viewing a great ruby heart surrounding by a little village. After a while of peaceful silent, the forest starting to shakes and give birth to a young black cat wearing red all over him, and holding a katana tie around his stomach. The young hero has saw the same scenery many times at this point. He walk toward the house. "I find it again." He said as he reaches the stairs. He opens the door and felt a familiar warm feeling in his chest again, but he can't remember why he feels this way.
The house is empty of any life, but at the same time it feels welcoming and warm to him. The living room have a couch facing a flat T.V set up with a gaming console. The kitchen is clean with the refrigerator still running, and the table full of food. The hero just continues his walk around, trying to find a picture this time to see who lives have. None of the room that he has check has any picture or other things that can help him. The hero stands there and think, "What other room I haven't check yet?" he said as he looks around. The house is small from the outside, or at least to him, but in the inside, its big like a maze. A maze that hold the answer that he is looking for. His eyes finally land on a door at the end of the hallway, just pass through the kitchen that he failed to notices at first. "How did I miss that?". The hero said. He knows that he hadn't check the whole house yet, but he visits the house so many times at this point that he memorizes the sound of the refrigerator running, the smell of the food on the table, and even the layout of the house. He walks toward the door, passing through the only part of the house that have a little life still in it, that being the kitchen. He can't help but to feel sad as he passes through the kitchen. He reaches for the unknown door's handle, and notices that the door was not lock to his surprise. He opens the door that lends to a world long forgotten to time and to him.
The room itself was a bedroom with a triple bed bunk beside the wall and bookshelves around the room. The room is completed dark but he can see his surroundings. He enters the room, and the feeling that he feels in his chest is starting to hurt him. He walks toward the bed bunks and saw that the bottom bunk has a stuff cat. The stuff animal has yellow buttons eyes, and seem to be homemade. He picks it up and as he ran his fingers through it, he notices that its chest is moist. He put the toy back and climb to the middle bed bunk and find a painting on the bed. He climbs into the bed and grab the painting. The painting was crude draw like if a kid did it. The painting shows a black cat being hug by a badger, twice his size, and on top of the badger's head is a small blue bat sitting on him. He notices that all the people in the painting doesn't have clothes on, beside the lack of clothes, there was no background in the painting. The painting has no signature and seem to not be done yet.
"Are these the ones who lives in this house?" The young hero says as he places down the painting on the bed again. He climbs to the top bunk and starting to feels warm again, this causes him to climbs in and try to his best to keep this feeling of warmth for himself. As he lean down on the bed, he notices that a lamp is attaches on the edge of the bedside, and saw a drawing tape on it. He grabs the drawing and saw the black cat again from the painting, but this time he seems to have clothes on and draw in professional way. His clothes are red with a cape around his neck and holding a katana too.
"...is that...me?" The hero asks as he turn the drawing around to see the back of it, and saw a nice written note on it. "For Mao Mao, the one who save me when I needed help, and who always is by my side--" The written ends there. It was clear that there was more to the note but was not finished for some reason.
"Am I... Mao Mao?" The hero asks to himself as he looks at his gloved hands. "...I finally found my name...I guess...but who are those others?" Mao Mao asks as he jumps off from the top bed bunk, with the warm feeling disappear right after as he jumps out. He exits the bedroom, and as he walks, pass the kitchen, the smell of the food hit him. He turns his head aside and looks at the table cover in food. The food isn't rotten or looks bad, when he was here last time and when he pass through just a while ago. He wasn't never hunger during his other visits to the house before, he still is not hunger now, but his curiosity got the better of him. He walks toward the table and saw cakes, pies, and fruits covering the table. As he looks through the food, and he saw something that made his mind go blink for a second. It was a cobbler! Mao Mao quickly run toward the cobbler and pick it up in a flash. He was about to devour the whole thing in single bite, but out of nowhere his head starting to hurt. His mind is trying to remind him of something painful. He drops the cobbler on the floor and put his hands over his head, covering his ears. His head feels like someone is smashing him on the head with a hammer. Memories are trying to come back to him, but there are too painful for Mao Mao to handle by himself. "STOP!!!" Mao Mao yelled as he stomps on the cobbler that was on the floor. The wooden floor is now being painting with a bright violent color on it. Mao Mao ran out of the house and suddenly was hit by a cold breeze, taking his pain away.
"Why...is it so...painful to remember?" He said as he saw the great ruby heart on the horizon. Ever since he first came to this area by the house, he saw a huge ruby heart on the horizon meeting with the sky. He could see a village under the huge ruby heart that he called "The great ruby heart"
The great ruby heart was watching him and doing nothing but mock him for his failure to remember anything. "Maybe...it's good idea to not go inside the house anytime soon." Mao Mao noted him as he looks ahead to the forest again. The sun is now high in the sky, lighting the whole forest now with its light. He always takes the forest path to reach the village under the ruby heart during his other times. He was about to take the same path again, the path of the unknown, but stops as he notices a bike parked at the other side of the house. This peaks his curiosity again, he walk over to the bike. The bike was old, with two tubes attaches to it by the back. It was green and show signs of being damage and repair multiple time across its lifespan. Mao Mao was about to left in it there, but something caught his eyes, on one of the tubes of the bike have a sticker of a duck. The duck, in question, was just a normal duck, but there is something with this duck that is affecting him. It makes him feel something that he hasn't felt before. A feeling of warmth, but also of sadness at the same time. He notices that the keys are still attaches to it. Mao Mao stand there for a while thinking about using the bike, but he doesn't know how to uses this thing in the first place. He just sighs in defeat and jump on the bike. 'It feels familiar somehow' He say to himself as he reaches for the keys and turn the bike on. The bike roars to live and speeds away toward the great ruby heart, causing Mao Mao to hold on to the handlebars for his dear life as the bike zooms through the sky, a hamlet appears out of nowhere around Mao Mao' head causing him to freak out even more. The bike seems to have a set path already in place, because it's still heading toward the great ruby heart.
This is the only time; Mao Mao could see the whole ruby heart in its purest form. He notices that the heart has multiple cracks all on it. He knows what will happen if he doesn't hurry up. "I won't let it happen again this time, do you hear!?!?" He yelled to the heart. The bike begins to descent and Mao Mao waits until he sees the ground close by so he can climb out. When the bike was near the ground, Mao Mao jumps out, landing on the cold concrete on his feet and the bike land beside him, turning itself off. Mao Mao saw that in front of him was a castle. He never got this far before. The castle is huge than the house he just come from and color in white with hearts all over it. The castle seems to be consumed little by little by the ruby heart on top of it. Mao Mao notices that no one is guarding the castle's door. He knows that the village is empty but last time, when he was in the village during the other night and saw lights come out from castle's windows. He knows that he is not mistaken, but then "It was last time and not this time." He reminds himself about this information again. He should have known better but he can't help it sometime. He enters the castle and saw the throne room was empty and cold, not even sunlight dare to enter. After a few steps toward the room, his head beginning to hurt again, but this time he was ready. The pain was not painful as last time, but it still hurt.
He was here before with someone by his side. The room was full of sunlight with someone sitting in the throne trying to get away from something cover in white stuff. He then starts tears up after saying someone's name.
"Badgerclops..." Mao Mao said as his headache went away but his heart starting to hurt instead. Mao Mao starting to feels sick after saying that name and his heart also starting to hurts. "Who is...Badgerclops?" He said the name again and his heart starting to ease after saying the name again. He knows that name hold some kind of special meaning to him.
'...Badgerclops, Badgerclops, Badgerclops, Badgerclops, Badgerclops...' He said it over and over again in his head trying to remember who is this. The name brings a feeling of warmth, and caring to him. Then after repeating the name even more, an image of a lager badger appears in his mind, in fact the same badger from the painting from before.
Mao Mao exits the castle with the feeling of warmth still in his chest. He sees the bike again and the feeling just kept growing in his chest. He jumps on the bike again and the machine roars to live for the last time. The bike just starting to arise higher and higher toward the top of the great ruby heart. Mao Mao just hold on and waiting to see what fate has in stores for him. The bike finally reaches its final destination at the top of the heart. The bike just still there in midair. Mao Mao jumps off the bike and landing on the heart. The floor was felt cold and hard on his feet. Mao Mao walks toward the center so he wouldn't fall down. He looks down at his hands and the feeling in his chest starting to grow even more. He starting to cry now because of the pain in his heart is too much for him. As he sobs his soul away, the great ruby heart starting to shines a bright light that covers the whole village. Mao Mao knows the time has come. With his sobbing and the pain in his heart, his mind starting to remembers memories of him and someone else spending time together. His memories of Badgerclops. "Badgerclops, I will find you. I swear this in my life, even if it takes my whole lifetime to find you again." Mao Mao said as he and the village were engulfed by the light.
Everything is same. The sun slowly rises up to its rightful place and shines upon a little campsite in the forest. The campsite was small compare to the fire beside it. The fire was put out for a while now as the smoke rises up to dance with the sunlight creating a beautiful scene of lonely. A young black cat woke up as he was embraces by the warm sunlight and surrounds by the cold smoke. He yawns as he got up, careful as to not breathes in the smoke around him. He looks around his surroundings. He knows now what his purpose in life is now. He raises his hand up in the air and yells aloud for the whole forest to hear him. "I will find you, Badgerclops, I promise!!!"
