WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! (......) this is when they talk to each other though that telepathic stuff k? k.
forever lost in a sea of tides
At first when I found out what Ariel did...letting Sora out like that when she new very well how much trouble he was in, I was furious. I could have sent her to her doom I was so angry...but now I realize it was for the best. I realize that if he had stayed like the good boy I tried to raise him as; odds are that he would have been captured and locked away like the rest of our kind. Actually, since he was to be next in line as the king he would have been killed. He wouldn't have known why. I never told him why. I thought keeping things from him would make things a little more easily for him...that he wouldn't have any fears for the job ahead of him, but I was wrong. I should have told him, but I didn't. I was a coward and deserve the fate that lies ahead of me. My only wishes I have now is that I had a chance to tell Sora how much I loved him before...I wish the last moments I had spent with him were moments filled with joy instead of anger.
I know when Sora finds out about what has happened to me, he'll be deeply saddened. I know a part of him will never want to return to his home, but another part will. This part will overpower him...Sora is a smart boy and I know he'll return to his kingdom. To take charge and fight the fight I ran away from. I'm disappointed in myself, because I know not telling Sora has made things even more difficult than it had to be. When he returns he won't know what to do. He won't know which troops to summon or which powers to use. I pray he will rely on the one thing I know he relies on the most...his heart. His heart is one of the most powerful things in this kingdom. His heart alone holds more power than 10,000 troops alone, and I know this because I've seen him do things other mermen can't. Yes its true merpeople can read each others minds and do other types of sorcery, but Sora can do much more than a normal merman can. He could probably destroy half the planet if he wanted to. I trust that in the time of his rule all will be safe. Ariel will be safe. Ariel...she was captured too. After she returned from freeing Sora, she noticed someone lurking in the shadows. She swam to get me only to discover that I was already in chains and separated from my triton. Along side me were Sebastian and flounder; who were caught hanging around a point by bolder valley ready to meet up with Sora. All four of us were thrown into separate jails to make sure we didn't try anything. Soon after, the man to whom I had expected was responsible for this emerged. He laughed in my face about how easily I was caught...that I didn't even have an army ready to fight for my land.
I feel so ashamed. I knew well what was coming...but I told no one. I hadn't told Sora. I hadn't told Sora a lot of things...things he should have known...things about his past. His mother...his father...his brother. I remember how he used to always ask me for a brother instead of a sister whenever he had gotten upset with Ariel. I knew he didn't really mean it, but it still hurt not to give him what he wanted. Not to tell him were his brother was. I felt at the time that it was for the best. Merpeople usually don't associate with the non-aquatic type. It's only if it's during a time a great trouble and emergency that we contact the ones above. Even when we do so, we usually don't make a big deal about it or even tell anyone that they helped when it's done. The kings of different sea lands (including myself) tend to tell our people that there are no such things as 'people above'...only ones in the ocean. It may sound ridiculous, but it's for the safety of our kind. If all the other merpeople discovered that there really was an 'above land' they would try everything they possibly could to go up and see it. Some would probably even want to live there. Such things are possible, but too risky. The ones that live one the land usually don't like to have to deal with things they can't explain...not to mention if they noticed we could live underwater; they would figure they could too. They would come and ruin our communities with their violence, money, and disrespectful ways. They would try to bring their 'technology' along with them too. Thinking about such things makes me shudder. How can anyone stand to live the way they do? I've often heard stories of them going as far as killing one another! Such stories are exactly what keep our world and their world foreverly separated. The ones above us that we contact live amongst the clouds. They are the wise'est and always seem to know what to do in a moment of panic. They are the ones with the purest of hearts. They are never afraid and natural born leaders...they are Sora's kind, and also tend to hold more power than we do. Their kinds are very adaptable. They can usually take any body form they choose and switch from living in the sky to living in the sea...just as Sora did. They can live on the land and take shape as either an animal, or a human. I believe Sora has done just that. I'm not quite sure what happened to him the night he left, but I know for sure he's living amongst one of the humans. I was told by a turtle that he was taken away by a young man by the name of Riku...a man who too holds great power. I was told he was born just as Sora was...in the sky far away from the world he's in now. His parents went to the land to do some research and ended up liking it there and living there. They too never told him of his past. He's probably found himself becoming attracted to Sora...that's the whole reason he helped him in the first place. I know this 'Riku' boy will do everything he can to protect Sora...to protect my son, because Sora is his own kind. I know soon he will gain his wings again and return to the sky where he belongs, but only to ask for help. He will go to the ocean with Sora, and they shall fight for what is to be theirs. They will be joined by their unknown family members as well....I just wish I could be there to see all of this unfold...to tell Sora how sorry I am for keeping such things away from him...but it is to late now. My time has come and my rain is over. I see now all the mistakes I have made and all of the things I could have done to prevent them, but none of that matters now. What matters is the future ahead for Sora and the kingdom of Atlantica. What matters is that I give it all I got to show Sora what lies ahead for him...to show him the way he is to go next and not be scared. To show him my death should not be held in vain. To show him...in his dreams.
WHACK!!!
"OW, SHIT!"
I sat up in bed and looked over to my side to find Sora tossing and turning and violently thrashing his body about. I took him by the shoulders and tried to shake him awake, but it was no use.
"Sora...Sora wake up!"
His body jerked upward and he gripped the sheets tightly as he let out a series of screams and sobs. Now totally and completely freaked out, I shook him again and called out his name. His eyes flashed opened and quickly turned a shade of dark green. He sat up and doubled over trying to regain his breath, but not really having any luck. He scrubbed at his face, looked over at me, and then threw himself into my arms sobbing uncontrollably. I was confused, but I gave him a light kiss on his forehead and held him tightly.
"Sora...what's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?"
He looked up at me teary eyed and said "Riku I...I think my fathers dead" he then burst into tears again. I sighed and rubbed his back.
"Sora, it was only a dream. Dreams never really mean anything."
"No...no I know it wasn't a dream...at least I don't think...Riku something's wrong... I'm scared..."
I shushed him and gently rocked him back and forth. "Don't be scared...you don't even know if anything's really wrong yet...and even if there was something wrong, I'm sure it's nothing that you and me can't handle."
He calmed down a bit and managed to steady his breathing. He scooted closer to me and closed his eyes. I took a deep breath getting a good whiff of Sora's hair in the process. His smell was strong with the scent of the ocean, which reminded me...he was a merman...and he wasn't in water.
"ACK!! WHAT ARE DOING!??!"
he squirmed around until he was sitting upright and facing me and replied "what do you mean?"
"I mean...why aren't you in water? Why aren't you dead yet?!?"
he wiggled his fin around for a second and then said "well...I don't know. We tried the spell last night, but nothing happened and then while I was sleeping I didn't feel comfortable in the water so I got out and then I could breath so then I crawled over to your bed and got in and went to sleep, but then I was having a nightmare that I think is not really a nightmare but something more, but then you woke me up and said..."
"Sora, ok. I get it now"
he shrugged and flopped back down on the bed. I did the same and soon was casted off into a deep silent dreamless sleep.
"RIKU...RIKU WAKE UP!!!"
I felt the blanket getting pulled off me, but I grabbed it and snatched it back up.
"RRRIIIKKKKUUUUUUUU!!!!"
this time the blanket was completely thrown off and pulled over to his side. I growled and kicked around stubbornly.
"Sora I'm still tired LET ME SLEEP!!!"
I buried my head in my pillow and tried to shut away all of the light. Within seconds the pillow was snatched away and I could feel Sora bouncing around on the bed. (come on Riku, wake up!! Wake up wake up wake up!!) I put my hands on my head and grunted.
"Sora DON'T talk to me in me head!"
(well if you would wake up already I wouldn't have to, now would I?")
(Sora, stop it!)
(get up and make me)
now completely frustrated, I sat up and went straight towards Sora's throat only to stop in place. I looked at Sora and blinked a few times noticing that he was sitting awkwardly. I crawled over a long lump on his right side and headed straight towards the long lump on his left side. I studied it for a minute, then hit it with a clenched fist. Sora yelped and a leg shot up from under the blanket. I gaped at it and then ripped the rest of the blanket off Sora, reveling the other leg.
"oh my..."
Sora let out a happy giggle. "I have legs!!!! And lookie lookie lookie!!"
He spread his legs and looked proudly at the 'manhood' that lay in front of him. "I don't know what it's for, but I know I LIKE IT!...heyheyhey do you have one!?!"
I tried to answer his question, but I was currently preoccupied with staring at his crotch. "uhh...err...yuh...yea, yea of course...I mean...it's something all guys have..."
"oh...ok, cool!"
he bounced around on the bed excitedly for a minute and then stopped and switched into a thinking position.
"there's something I for-oh! Watch this!"
he swung both his legs over to the side of the bed and placed his feet on the floor. He bit at his bottom lip as he slowly pushed himself upward attempting to stand up. He wobbled a little, regained his balance, and then lost it again and fell on the floor.
"Aww...I did it earlier..."
I laughed and walked over to Sora to help him up. "well don't worry, you'll get the hang of it"
I lifted Sora up and placed him at the foot of the bed near the TV so he could watch that as I looked around for some clothes he could fit in. about 3 minutes after I had turned the TV on and walked into my closet I heard Sora attempting to sing again only this time not so loud. I rolled my eyes and walked back to find Sora moving around and singing along with the chorus.
"I can let my hair down, I can say anything crazy I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground...with nothing but a t-shirt on, I never felt so beautiful baby as I do now...now that I'm with-Riku get out! I would like to sing in peace without you looming over me for once!"
I smirked and walked back to the closet. I had decided to take off work for that day so I could spend some time with Sora and get to know a little more about were he was from. I figured maybe I'll take him out to get some ice cream and let him shop around for his own clothes...which would probably be difficult since I don't think he's ever actually worn any clothes before...which probably means he has no sense of style what so ever...but oh well, being the model I am I'm sure I can get him dressed up real nice...and sexy. I chuckle to myself and find a white sleeveless shirt with a hoodie in the back and a pair of white jogging pants; both with orange lines going down the sides. I dug around some more until I found some old jogging shoes that would match the outfit perfectly. I breathed a sigh of relief at Sora's outfit being able to at least match. I gathered the clothes and walked back into the room in time to see Sora attempting to stand again. He wobbled around again, but this time managed to stay standing. He smiled and squealed in excitement, clapping his hands at himself...which made him lose balance and fall back onto the bed.
"Aww..."
I walked over to the bed and handed Sora his clothes. He eyed at them suspiciously and then looked at me. "what are these for?"
"to wear"
"huh?"
"Sora, you can't just go prancing about town naked. You have to wear clothes, it's the law"
he nodded understanding and grabbed the shirt. He looked back and forth from me to the shirt. I rolled my eyes and helped him pull it on over his head and put his arms through it. He looked down at the shirt and then back at me and smiled.
"am I pimpin' yet?"
"no, not yet. You still need to wear pants...I'm gonna need you to stand in front of me ok?"
he nodded, stood up, and fell back. "I don't think I like legs"
I laughed and grabbed his hand. "just scoot over to me"
He did as told and from there I lifted him and set him onto my lap. He put his feet on the floor and pushed himself up again. I held him steady and put the pants on the floor.
"ok, now just..." I stopped in min-sentence. His ass was right in front of me...and it was beautiful. He had nice curvy hips...a kind of feminine figure...with nice, full, voluptuous cheeks.
"Riku...your drooling"
"huh?"
I put my hand to my mouth and realized I HAD been drooling...at Sora's ass...his nice, tanned, smooth, virgin...
"Riku...hello?"
"uh...yea...ok, so put your feet in those two holes..."
ah...two holes...Sora had one...I was so close to it I could just...
"ok, now what?"
"mmph...uh...just pick up the top part and pull them up and your done"
he bent over to pick them up and I almost drooled a river. I was so tempted to on Riku, slap it...you know you want to...he won't mind...grab it and feel around on it...
(slap and feel around on what?)
(ACK!!)
"ACK!! STAY OUT OF MY HEAD!"
"well I was curious to why you were so zoned on me...anyway their up so now what?"
I looked disappointedly at his now coved up ass.
"uhh...now...shoes"
I helped him into those and then spent the next 3 hours teaching Sora to stand and walk.
Sora: YEA, I GOT LEGS...AND PEOPLE FEET!
Oo.....shut up, I'm tired.
Sora: well you shouldn't be writing at 1:30am now shouldn't you?
I had no other time!!! I'm so busy with freakin' skool!!
Sora: excuses excuses....
Tidus: heeeyyy...where was I this chapter?
Riku: burning in hell
Tidus: DON'T START WITH ME
Riku: too late
Sora: come on guys, lets get along...and have a three some
Tidus: .....im not getting in no bed with Riku, he might strangle me!
Riku: no I won't... crosses fingers
Tidus: hey, I saw that.
Sora: no you didn't
Tidus: I didn't?
Riku: no
Tidus: oh...ok, so then lets do this!
