I was not expecting so much feedback for the first chapter! Thank you so much!
~Show you around~
Terra had been staying for three days now, and the villagers were anxious. Who was he? Was he a good guy? Was he looking for redemption from his sins? Nobody in the cathedral brought it up, though. Xion was the only one who didn't mind. She baked for him daily, and Terra ate it all. She was happy that someone could enjoy her quisine!
Aqua knocked on Terra's door. "Come in!" Two muffled voices said, which she assumed were Terra and Xion.
She entered the room, and saw Terra eating some jelly filled cake. Xion was next to him, waiting eagerly for his opinion.
"Xi, if you keep giving him food, he won't want to leave his room." Aqua said.
"But-" Xion began.
"Don't listen to her, Xion." He said. "I'll eat all of your delicious desserts." He looked at Aqua with a michevious grin. Aqua stuck her toungue out at him. It was all jokingly, though. They have been getting along just fine.
"Xion! Aqua! Terra! Come here, please!" They heared Mother Aerith say. They all saw that Namine and Olette were already there, so they exited the room and entered the Courtyard. It was a beautiful place; different fruit and flower trees adorned the corners, and a stone table sat at the middle, where they all sat and had dinner.
Father Zack and Mother Aerith were waiting for them, and when they arrived, they spoke.
"As you all know," Zack said. "Terra has been staying with us for some time now. The villagers are a mystery to him, and vice versa. So, one of you will take Terra on a tour of Radient Garden."
Inmediatly, Namine and Olette raised their hands.
"Girls," Aerith said. "You two have cleaning duties today."
"But-"
"What do we say about loads, girls?" She countered.
"God never gives us loads we cannot carry." They said in monotone.
"Good. Now better hurry, or you'll miss Jenova's storytelling!" Zack said teasingly.
They dashed away, and Terra whispered, "Storytelling?"
"Tell you later." Aqua whispered back.
"So that leaves Aqua and Xi-" Zack said before he was interupted by one of the older sisters. "Ahem. Well, that leaves Aqua, since Xion left a mess in the kitchen involving some jelly."
Terra hastily stuffed the dessert into his mouth so nobody could see him. Xion went to clean the kitchen, saying something about no more jelly in desserts.
"Aqua, take good care of our guest." Aerith advised.
"I will." Aqua said as she exited the cathedral with Terra behind her. There wasn't much to show, she'd just introduce him to the neighbors and show him the key landmarks.
"Storytelling?" Terra asked again; Aqua had forgotten already.
"Yeah, one of the villagers tells stories from her homelands. It seems childish, but it's a lot of fun." She explained.
"I see. It sounds... special." He said.
"It is." She said as arrived at the first home, which belonged to Vanitas. She knocked gingerly, only to reveal a shirtless Vanitas.
"What?" He asked angrily. He's always angry, so Aqua didn't mind.
"Just hear to introduce our new visitor, Terra Tsukumo."
"Hey," Terra said.
"Nice to meet'cha." He said and looked at Aqua again. "How's Xion?"
"She's fine. See you later, Vanitas."
"Later." He said as he closed the door.
"So he and Xion are...?" Terra asked.
"Brother and sister." Aqua finished. It was a sad story. Their parents were killed, and Xion went to The Lord for comfort while Vanitas depended on liqour. The only one who could keep him straight was maybe Kairi.
Next up was Jenova's house. When she opened the door, Terra was a little startled. She was blue, her skin was entirely a cerulean blue, and she had silver hair and red eyes.
"Aqua, hello." She looked at Terra. "Who?"
"This is Terra. He'll be staying with us for a while."
She nodded, and in that moment, Sepiroth came up to the frame. He had a regal appearance, with sterling green eyes and silver hair.
"New visitors?" He said. "Nice to meet you, I'm Sephiroth." He shook Terra's hand.
"Pleasure, sir. The name's Terra." He said courtly. They introduced them to their children, Riku and Fuu, who were about Xion's age.
"Hi," Fuu said quietly.
"Hey there." Riku said.
Introductions flew and soon they moved to the next houses. They met Kairi, the mayor's daughter; Roxas, Ventus' twin brother; and Sora, their cousin. They strolled through the stores, saying hi to Demyx at the guitar store.
"I guess that's it." Aqua said. "The rest you can meet at Jenova's tonight."
"Alright, but can we get something to eat? I'm starving." Terra said.
"Let's go to the market. Hayner and Pence make the best pizza around." She said. They still had a few hours before nightfall, which is when Storytelling started.
"Ok."
