Kingdom Hearts: A Doubtful Soul
Chapter 1: Wandering Mind, Act Two
(In the Eyes of the Beholder)
Ugh…wh-where am I? This town, it seems familiar, like I've been here before...No, this is just Riku's memories, not mine.
"Ugh," I groaned. I was tired, and hungry. I have traveled far… as far as possible…away from Castle Oblivion. "Where am I now?"
"…Whoa!" I nearly tripped on nothing. I was stumbling around like a drunken, old man!
Then, I suddenly felt the tingly pang…that Heartless are near. The feeling was weak, but I know there are Heartless around. But, I'm too weak to fight at all. The feeling was getting stronger, and stronger, while I'm starting to feel weaker, and weaker…I started to pant for breath, I tried to gather all my strength…
And got the energy I needed…
I slowly stood straight, looking behind me. The Heartless has spotted me. I observed their numbers.
"Hmph…" I said to myself. Only a few Shadows and Darkballs, easy to take down. All of a sudden, they spotted me, a lone figure that just stood there without fear. They charged, I was caught by surprise when they suddenly made the first move. I frantically fired a Dark Firaga, then bolted away from the Heartless goons.
I ran away, as fast as I can manage. I know that this sudden surge of energy won't last forever, so I thought I gotta focus on my escape.
I ran as fast, my hair (which has grown long up to halfway down my back. After months of wandering, I have no damn time to cut it, okay?) swishing behind me (I suddenly had the urge to cut it then and now, I feel like a girl, godarnit! I don't care about the Heartless, I just want to shorten this stupid mullet.) I looked over my back again, no sign of the Heartless.
"Whew," I said to myself, slowing my run to a pacing walk-ish run. "Finally over." I looked forward… "Holy…!" The Heartless were already in front, all ready to destroy me!
I skidded to a halt. I sighed to myself, "Might as well fight." I raised my Soul Stealer eye-length, and faced the Teeming Darkness ahead and behind me.
Just then, as Luck wouldn't have it, I started to run out of energy again! I started to feel like that my tiredness doubled, I can barely even stand.
I held my position, ready to take on anything the Heartless throws at me. I charged into the numbers, and destroyed a hand-full of Heartless at the first swing. After my tenth swing, I was feeling dizzy. At a distance, I saw more coming.
"Bring it on!" I shouted at the silent Shadows, "I can…take…all…of…you…"
…I passed out.
When I came to, I was still dizzy.
"Wh-where am I ?" I asked no one in particular. But I got an answer all the same.
"You're awake? Good, you better get your but up." Said a voice. I turned to the source of the voice, and there, standing on the doorway, was a girl with an annoyed look on her face…
End Chapter 1!
