They rode threw the forest for what felt like hours, it seemed they would never reach their destination. Sora soon noticed the further they went the darker and colder it got making it hard to see where Philippe was actually heading. Sora started to weary if father was hurt and told Philippe to find Sora.
'We have to hurry who knows what's wrong with Papa." Sora thought making Philippe go from trot to a run.
"Papa, Papa it's Sora where are you." He yelled as Philippe nervously stopped at a cross roads stomping his feet in worry. 'Papa must have gone this way.' Sora thought.
"Come on boy Papa needs us." Sora said trying to get Philippe to move. "Come on boy move." This seemed to get him to move as the walked over to the hill in the middle of the crossroads. They started to descend the hill with caution as for it was icy and slippery.
"Good boy. That's it your doing gre… Ahhhh!" That second the root Philippe was standing on snapped throwing Sora off Philippe's back. Philippe whinnied in horror as he started to roll down the hill Sora sat up putting his hand to his forehead. His head was throbbing and when he looked down to his hands he noticed there was blood all over it.
"Whinny…Whinny." Sora heard come from down the hill.
"Oh no… PHILIPPE." He yelled running down the hill trying to get the black horse at the bottom of the hill as fast as possible.
"You alright boy." Sora asked giving Philippe's body a good look over for any life targeting problems. Luckily he was perfectly fine except for a couple of badly forming bruises. Sora help Philippe get back on his feet and started to walk in the direction they were originally planning to go.
"Where are we?" Sora asked mostly himself as him and Philippe approached a rusted old gate. It was open and from what Sora could see there was an old decaying castle that was probably once very elegant. The walls were covered in vines and rose bushes that gave the castle a very mythical look to it. It looked like it was taken right out of one of Sora's bedside stories. Thought it gave Sora the creeps for some strange reason it made him feel like he had been there before like in a dream or a book or something. He walked up to the gates pushing them open a little more. In side he could see a very un-kept courtyard. Moss grew in-between the cobble stone pathway while statues of Greek gods lined the pathway, though it was hard to tell cause vines and roses covered everything.
"Come on let's go in boy." Sora said pushing open the door enough for both of them to fit though. He led Philippe up the path to the grand double doors; he then tied Philippe to the closest statue he could find.
"Now stay here." Sora instructed patting Philippe on the head, rubbing his hands threw Philippe's hair. Philippe gave a disturbed and worried sounding whinny making Sora turn back.
"Don't worry boy, I'll right back as soon as I get Father out, okay?" Sora turned back and opened the giant double doors.
Inside was nothing but pure darkness except for the very little moon, all of the hole covered ragged old curtains were drawn shut and not a single candle was light. The hall was, as Sora could make of the room, tilled with marble or garnet. It had a long velvet rug running from door all the way to the staircase. The staircase was large and grand, probably wide enough to have six bookcases standing side-by-side. On the first landing there were another set of grand double doors that were bigger then to ones Sora entered threw. From there the stairs divided into to what had to be the east and west wings.
"Wow, that's amazing, it's cleaner than the outside. Like some one lives here." Sora whispered noticing the marble pillars that sparkled, in the very little moon light there was, lining the halls. Beyond the pillars was a door on both sides. Opting to try his luck with the door to his left.
"I guess this is the kitchen." Sora noted scopeing out the room the walls were less elegant, made out of rock. The room had many pots, plates, towels, cups, bowls, egg shells, wooden spoons, and many other food products littered the room. In the center of the room was an old and rotting wood table. The sink to Sora's right was piled high with dirty old pots and pans desperately in need of a clean.
"HAY you, what are you doing here!? Quick get Out!" yelled a harsh sharp voice. Sora squeaked whirling around from where he stood, by an old chair, there was no one in the room.
"Did you not here me? GET OUT!" The voice appeared to be coming from the oven. It was one of those old case iron stoves with red panted metal rose as decorations and two odd purple shaped diamonds just below the center of the back piece.
"What the…" Sora was confused beyond belief. Was the oven talking? In his racing thoughts he vaguely noticed that he had moved closer to the "talking" oven. He started to reach out and touch one of the burners but decided against it.
"What are you still doing here, do you not speak French? I said get out." Eye where suddenly staring at him they were a stunning shade of emerald. Just above the two purple diamonds. The burner right under Sora's hand shot up in flames barley missing Sora's palm. Sora let a scream turning and racing out of the kitchen door. He raced threw the hall and tripped. Sora just staid on the floor bringing his knees to his chest and rapping his arms around them.
"Oh god I've gone mad. This has to be a dream yeah cause I'm tired. Any minute the rooster with wake me up in my bed with Papa making breakfast." He said rocking back and forth.
"Oh but monsieur this is no dream, are you alright? We can help you." Sora started to shake even harder at the staring but calming voice, it sounded as if it was very close to Sora.
"T…thank y…yoouuuuuuu…! AHHHHHHHH." Sora screamed lifting his head up to see a silver candle labara and clock talking to him. He immediately jumped up to his feet and ran to the door. Trying to open the door with all his might, but some how it had been locked.
"Don…don't come any…any closer." Sora said pressing himself up against the door as the two objects came closer. He could feel his knees give out and he sank to the floor curling up into a ball on the ground.
"Oh please monsieur don't be scared I'm Cloud and this is Leon. We want to help you." The candle labara said hopping over to Sora trying his best to wipe away Sora's tears from his eyes. The stunning eyes immediately sparked clouds memory.
"Wait your Sora, Right?" Cloud asked staring at the frightened teen.
"Y…yes." Sora timidly answered staring it to the ice blue eyes of the candelabra. Cloud looked over his shoulder at Leon, who gave a small nod.
"Come with me and Cloud." Leon said, for the first time, turning his attention back to Sora. "We know where your father is."
"Papa, really you know." Sora said sitting up leaning down to be eye level with Leon and Cloud.
"Yes we do, but you have to be quiet we don't want to let the Master know you're here. Now fallow us." Cloud instructed hopping towards the stairs with Leon and Sora right on his tail.
