A.N. Hey... so it's been awhile.
I swear I haven't fully given up on revising the story I just have a lot of stuff going on and haven't be able to get to it as much as I would like to. I've started working on it again today and am currently rewriting page 16 out of 79 so it's going to be a while before I can post anything. But that's what I wanted to ask. Would you guys prefer that I post everything at one time once it is all revised or I can start a new story and start posting the chapters once they are finished. What ever you decide I'll also be moving the story onto Archive of Our Own as I've been posting my more recent stories there. So let me know what you guys think and I will move forward accordingly. Though I don't want to leave you guys empty handed after being so patient with me so here is the first few paragraphs to Chapter One of the Revision... Let me know what you guys think.
Again these are just a few paragraphs in the first chapter of the revision and not the whole thing but I wanted to leave you guys with something related to progress.
Sora slowly pushed himself to his knees with a wince at the sharp pain that came from his side and then cast a quick glance around the clearing that he found himself in. At first glance the most obvious thing was the smoking remains of their ship and the lack of his travelling friends. A quick look at himself revealed a new change of clothes that were most likely similar to those that the inhabitants of the world wore.
The most obvious was the natural greens that replaced the majority of the black that his outfit usually consisted of, the only black that seemed to remain in his entire outfit was the short sleeved hoodie that now covered a quarter sleeve forest green shirt.
A look over his shoulder revealed that Jiminy was no longer in his usual spot within Sora's hood. With that revelation Sora first turned to look for the tiny chronicler within the thick carpet of grass.
"Jiminy where are you?" Sora called out, hoping that Jiminy were close enough to hear him. Continuing his search, and calling out for the cricket, a motion in his periphery vision caught his attention and turning to get a better look he saw his friend jumping over the grass to get his attention.
"Down here Sora!"
Sora crawled closer and held his hand out to his friend to help the cricket up to his shoulder. Mentally Sora checked off one of his friends to find, leaving just Donald and Goofy, though he had a long list that always remained in the back of his head of his friends that he still needed to find.
With the small chronicler in hand Sora stood and cast another quick glance around the surrounding area. "Any idea where we are?" Behind him now lay the smoking remains of the ship and at his shoulder he heard the cricket mumbling to himself.
"Got an idea?" Sora inquired, bringing up his question to the distracted cricket again.
"Well I honestly just don't know, but I think we should really start by finding Donald and Goofy before we try to figure anything else out." The cricket stated from his shoulder. Sora nodded in agreement and began walking towards the trees towards the front of the ship. The way that he saw it, is that the impact of the crash may have sent his friends forward.
As he moved Sora checked lower to the ground, looking under the tall waist high grass while Jiminy acted as a second pair of eyes, scanning above the brush should their friends appear while Sora was looking elsewhere. As Sora was checking around some of the ships debris an unfamiliar voice called out from behind him.
"Sora, Jiminy! Where are you!?"
Upon hearing the voice Sora turned, and with Jiminy holding on for dear life, back towards the clearing where he was sure he'd heard the voice coming from.
Crashing through the brush and into the clearing Sora had just enough time to skid to a stop before he ran into a pair of strangers. Once he was over the shock of almost crashing into people it dawned on him the there was something familiar about the pair, though he couldn't actually place it.
"Sora, Jiminy, where were you?"
Sora directed his attention to the shorter of the two, trying to figure out why the two were so familiar to him when it finally dawned on him. "Wait, Donald?" His eyes grew wide taking in his friend's new appearance as he turned to the other. "Goofy?" He took in their new appearances and realized why the two were so familiar despite being unable to recognize them, their personalities and postures.
"What happened to you guys?" Taking a closer look Sora realized that goofy appeared more like a cat if the pointed ears at the top of his head were anything to go by, not to mention the long fluid tail that lazily swayed behind him.
Turning to Donald, Sora realized that his friend was now slightly taller, though he new height was still unable to make it past Sora's chest. The most bizarre feature, Sora had to pick, were the small twig like wings that that fluttered quickly in agitation at his friend's back.
"Well obviously we got new forms in this world." Donald stated as he crossed his arms over his chest. From within his hood Sora could just barely make out Jiminy muttering to himself as he filled out another entry to his journal.
