Aqua opened her ocean colored eyes, to the night sky of her current location; she quickly sat up from the laying on the grass of the open field they were in. she could feel a presence of some sort, bringing a hand to her face the rubbing her face to wake up. Pulling her hand away, her eyes trying to focusing in the dark, "That's odd" said the bluenette keyblade master as her eyes scouting around the area.
Getting up from the ground and then summoning the keyblade of her fallen master. Walking ahead to find the source of the presence, well that was her game plan, until she heard Sora's voice calling for her.
Aqua sighed.
Sora gasped as he woke, sitting up. He looked over to Donald and Goofy and saw that they were still asleep. Sora looking on his other side, he noticed Master Aqua was gone.
"Aqua!" Sora calling out for his teacher; saying her name over and over.
"Sora, what was the first lesson I ever taught you" Aqua coming up behind Sora, "Ah!" somewhat spooking the fourteen year old.
"Uh, let's see…uh…I know! Don't bring attention to yourself when there strange presences around" Sora said with a proud look on his face. "And what did you just do Sora." Aqua asked him, her keyblade still out in the open.
For a short moment Sora looked confused until the answer hit him, "Oops!" with a guilty expression on his face.
The sound of a twig snapping caught the attention of the two key wielders. Aqua looking into the direction of the sound and headed towards it, Sora went to wake up Donald and Goofy.
Aqua's running came to a stop as she hit the intersection that lead to four paths, Sora breathed heavily as he, Donald and goofy caught up to her. Aqua squinting her eyes, something about this path screamed familiar, as her mind flashed back to her younger self walking away from a castle like structure.
"Uh, What is it Aqua?" asked Goofy, Bringing her hands to her head, her eyes closed; trying to block out the constant questions coming from Sora, Donald and Goofy, Her mind going back to that moment.
"Aqua, destroy me" the memory of Terra's voice replaying in her mind.
"…Terra, lead me to you" Aqua mouthing the words, she spoken so long ago. "I know where we're going" she whispered to herself, her hands moving from her head, as well as opening her eyes.
"Along the road ahead lies something you need" spoke a suave sounding voice, a coated figure stood behind and distanced from Sora but when Sora turned around it was gone; the foursome looked for the voice.
The coated figure appeared before Aqua, recognizing the coat for a quick moment she thought it was Terra but what she was sensing was nothing but unfamiliar to her.
"However in order to claim it, you must lose something dear to you" and then coated man was gone.
"Aw phooey!"
"Garwsh!"
"That doesn't sound good, Master Aqua" said Sora
"Strait ahead on this path, we'll find Oblivion" Aqua said the others as she began to run off in that direction, as it was all coming back to her, her own past.
"She knows something" thought Sora.
"Where am I?" uttered Riku as he began to wake, "Stay asleep" Riku's eyes snapped open to the voice now speaking to him.
"Who's there?" demanded Riku, "you should stay asleep, here between the light and dark" spoke the voice
"Between what? …huh! Where's the king? Together we closed the door to darkness. After that…" Riku speaking quickly
"You came drifting here by yourself. You did not have the strength to overcome the darkness or maybe you were close to it." Said the voice, "Hmph! Like I'm some kind of demon, am I?" taunted Riku.
"Turn from the light. Shut your eyes. Here blanketed by the darkness, sleep is safety. Sleep is eternal. But…" a light appearing in front of Riku's face making him squirm and turn from the bright light.
A small flat but one dimensional object appeared from the light, "a playing card?" thought Riku. "What's this?" Riku asked the voice as the light dimmed.
"It is a door to the truth. Take it and your sleep ends, as you take begin to take the steps towards the truth. But know this the truth will bring you pain, will you still go? " the card circled around Riku's body before it stopping right in front of Riku's face.
"There is no return to the security of sleep." Spoke the voice as Riku closed his eyes, looking inside himself for the right answer; a few seconds had past and Riku then opening his teal blue eyes as he grabbed the card, "This seemed like a boring place to take a nap anyway" said Riku.
"That was very well said, Riku" spoke the voice, the card once again was surrounded in light and Riku was gone.
a smallish girl with blue eyes and blonde hair, wearing a white dress, she drew in a sketch pad, of a castle that was filled with manipulating mind puzzles. It is a castle with only one true master, one who sees past the mind games of Castle Oblivion,
