Crystalmaiden62 sits in bed with a bowl of miso soup and some sushi.
Anna: Crystal, I'm surprised you worked on this so quickly.
Blair: Thank the medicine.
Crystal: Yes and thank the soups I've been having. I feel a little better though still a little sick. Damn summer colds. I hope to get better so I can see the new Ice Age movie though. So anyway, to the disclaimers!
Disclaimers: I don't own Kingdom Hearts. I only own Anna and Lunar Wish so please, no flames here.
Chapter 10: Atlantica
We went back to Traverse Town to pick up some supplies as well as visit Merlin really quick and give him some missing pages of Pooh's book. We also met with Pinocchio and Geppetto there, who made a new home for themselves there. Still, I wonder how Riku's doing and if he's looking for another princess. Then again, what's the point? Kairi's the last princess of heart and she's with us, so really there's no need for him to keep looking. Is Maleficent just keeping him around just to mess with me? But I still want to see him no matter what. I can't help myself.
"You okay, Anna?" Sora asked, noticing me look out the window of the gummi ship. I've started sitting more in the cockpit with Sora and the others after my little heart to heart with Sora yesterday.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking about Riku."
"Yeah, I know what you mean." Sora said, looking depressed. Poor Sora, to have his best friend do all these terrible things and not know why plus the fact that he knows Kairi lost her heart; Sora must be going through a worse time than me. "Anna, am I really holding you back?"
"Of course not." I said, shaking my head. "I want to save Kairi, and we will, but our main priority is keeping her safe as well as sealing the keyholes. If keeping you safe will help Kairi, I'm willing to do that. And besides," I patted Sora's head, "Kairi wouldn't have liked it if I left one of my best friends behind."
"Thanks, Anna." Sora said, smiling. Sora and I kind of grew on each other through all this and I can see a bit of Ventus in him.
"Hey, guys. Look." We looked out the window to see another world. A world I'm having mixed feelings about. Atlantica came into view in all it's underwater glory.
"Okay, guys. Prepare for landing." Donald said, moving the gummi ship to the world.
"Land where? In the sea? We'll drown!" Sora panicked, and I don't really blame him. He grew up near the ocean and learned how to swim but he can't hold his breath indefinitely.
"Not with my magic, we won't. Just leave it to me." Donald said, as he and Goofy pushed Sora and me out of the cockpit and we jumped into the water. I felt a sudden tingling feeling on my legs and I looked down to see a pink mermaid tail. In fact, I think looked the same as ever because my shirt, armbands, and locket were still there. Thank goodness.
"Wow, this is pretty cool." Sora said, attempting to swim but failing a little. Swimming isn't that bad with a tail, really. It's like doing the butterfly stroke, I do a lot of swimming in the summer.
"Come on, Sebastian!"
"Ariel, wait! Slow down! Don't leave me behind!" We looked to see Sebastian, swimming away from Donald, as he and Flounder hid behind Ariel.
"Relax, Sebastian. They don't look like one of them." Them? Do we even look like Heartless? It's like that time when Ven and I were called diamond thieves all over again. "Right, Flounder?"
"I don't know." The little guppy said, looking from behind Ariel. "There's something weird about them."
"What do you mean?" Sora asked, nervously while giving a weak chuckle. Sora still needs a little more work.
"They do seem… a little different." Ariel said, swimming around Sora and me. "Where are you from?"
"We're from kind of far away." Sora made up, but it seemed a little unbelievable. I'll step in.
"Yeah, really far away." I said, as Ariel smiled at me. "And we're not used to the currents here, so it's kind of hard for us to swim."
"Oh, I see." Ariel said, understanding. Man, I'm either getting better at lying or Ariel really is gullible. "In that case, Sebastian can show you how we swim around here."
"Ariel, King Triton will not like this!" Sebastian yelled, as Ariel rolled her eyes.
"Oh, don't worry." Ariel said, swimming up and away from us.
"Easy for you to say." Sebastian said, claws on his hips before looking to us. Okay, it's time you learn how to swim properly." So really, for ten whole minutes Sora, Donald, Goofy, and I learnt how to swim. I really do love swimming, I used to imagine myself as a mermaid when I was little but playing the Kingdom Hearts game while Sora is in merman form was annoying. In real life, and I can now glorify the wonders of the fish body. It was easy to go up and down so really it was easy.
"Good job." Sebastian said, as we swam around. "Now, lets move on to self-defense."
"Sebastian!" Ariel cried out as some jellyfish Heartless came at us and Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian made a swim for it.
"Class is over. Good luck!" Sebastian said as Ariel hide somewhere and Sebastian and Flounder hid inside a large clam shell. Okay, there's something I really don't get. The fighting is pretty easy seeing as we know how to swim and all but how can we even use fire spells underwater or thunder spells without killing us all. Still, it worked well against the Heartless, especially the thunder spells. Before long, they were gone and Ariel came out of hiding.
"Where's Sebastian and Flounder?"
"In here." I said, tapping the clam shell releasing Flounder and Sebastian.
"Those creatures chased us here." Ariel said, with a sigh of relief to see the Heartless were gone.
"Oh, no! Those monsters might be heading for the palace, too!" Sebastian panicked as Ariel looked worried.
"We'd better head back to the castle right away!"
"But wh…what if we run into more on our way?" Flounder asked, as Ariel looked to us.
"I'm sorry, but we need your help. Please come to the palace with us." Ariel said, as we nodded. "Just follow me, I'll take you there." Flounder was right to worry, as we did meet a few Heartless along the way but from the number of Heartless they weren't interested in Ariel's heart in the slightest. They just seemed to come at her like any normal person. Also, I can tell her light isn't like the other princesses of heart, so that shows she's not one of them. Still, some Heartless were targeting Ariel so she is in danger. The one thing I liked about Ariel is that she showed us around. When I played the game, it was hard for me to navigate my way through the whole world so it's nice to have someone there to show me. Sora, Donald, Goofy, and I managed to get Ariel and the others to the palace but the Heartless were following close behind us. We managed to get to the throne room and I saw King Triton use his trident to destroy the Heartless behind us.
"That was too close." He said, as Ariel turned to look at him and swam to position herself next to us. "As long as I have my trident, I will not tolerate those creatures inside this palace."
"Daddy!" Ariel cheered looking happy.
"Oh, Ariel!" Her father groaned, looking stern as Ariel flattered. "When will you listen? It's dangerous out there!" Ariel just side looking away from her father. Boy, Ariel really is kind of stuck up if she doesn't listen to her dad when there are killer monsters running around. "Strange creatures lurk outside." He looked at us when he said this and his eyes landed on me. I think he knew who I was, since he kind of glared at me. Uh oh.
"Behold. You swim before he ruler of the seas: his majesty, King Triton." Sebastian said.
"And he's my father." Ariel whispered to me, as I nodded.
"And who are they?" He asked, looking to Ariel and Sebastian.
"They helped us fight off those creatures." Ariel said, as I nodded.
"I'm Anna, these are my friends Sora, Donald, and Goofy." I introduced but the stern look on Triton's face didn't seem to come off.
"They don't look familiar." Of course.
"We're from an ocean very far away." Sora said. Nope, still needs to be more convincing.
"Yep. We came to find the keyhole." Goofy!
"The what?" Triton asked, looking close to blowing up.
"What's that?" Ariel asked, looking interested.
"It's nothing." I said, waving my arms as Donald covered Goofy's mouth so he wouldn't spill anymore.
"That's right and certainly no here." Triton said, as Ariel looked shocked.
"But Daddy!" Triton, however, glared down at his youngest daughter.
"Ariel, not another word!" Triton yelled, as Donald hid behind Sora and me and even Sora looked a little scared. I agree with them being scared. Never mess with a large man with a huge magical trident. "You are not to leave the palace. Is that clear?" Ariel looked furious and swam off.
"Ariel!" I yelled and we followed her out of the palace. "Ariel, your father is only thinking of what's best for you."
"But I can't be caged up like this. I want to see other things." Ariel said, as we left the palace grounds. "Besides, with you around, I'll be fine."
"That's not the point." Sora said, shaking his head but Ariel ignored him.
"Come to my grotto. I want to show you something. There. See it?" She pointed to the area her grotto is before taking my hand. "Come on, Anna, lets go."
"Wait." I said but Ariel dragged me with her to her grotto as the others followed. I used to like Ariel, she had a nice voice and seemed friendly. Now, I see her as a stuck up girl that likes to force people to doing things her way. Wonder how she's still friend with Flounder. When we got to the grotto, it looked pretty under the light from above.
"Look at all the wonderful things Flounder and I've collected." Ariel said, coming to me with a box of stuff for me to look at, as Sora and the others looked around. "I think it's all from the outside world. Someday, I'm going to see what's out there. I want to see other world. Doesn't that sound strange?"
"No, in fact, it reminds me of a friend of ours." I said, thinking about Riku.
"Yeah, I used to feel the same way too." Sora said, thinking and I bet he's looking back at all we've done together. Yeah, we've been through a lot since this all started.
"Used to?" Ariel asked, as Sora shook his head.
"I mean… I still do." Nice recovery but a little late.
"Hey, why don't we try looking for the keyhole you were talking about?" Ariel suggested, that'll make her daddy made for sure.
"But your father said…"
"Oh, he treats me like a little girl." Ariel pouted. 'Gee, I wonder why. Maybe because you act like one.' I though, mentally rolling my eyes. It's official, snow white isn't my least favorite Disney princess: Ariel stole that title now. "He never wants to let me do anything." I really want to say something but I decided to wait. I'll talk with Sora about this later. "He just… he just doesn't understand." Okay, I know I've said that to my parents too and it's whiny but really. The list of reasons why I'm not liking Ariel is growing. She's holding a mirror to myself at times but this is really annoying.
"Ariel, you do know your father is only looking out for you, right?"
"Yes but he doesn't have to keep me under thumb all the time." Ariel said, folding her arms. "Anyway, let's go to the shipwreck, maybe we can find something there."
"But Ariel, what if they're sharks?" Flounder asked, as we got out of the Grotto.
"Oh don't worry, there shouldn't be any sharks there." Ariel said, loftily as I gave Sora a look. He too looked worried and we lagged behind a bit from the main group.
"Is she one of the princesses?" Sora whispered, as I shook my head.
"No way, and if so the Heartless would've taken her by now. No offence, but she's kind of a little empty when it comes to common knowledge of safety." I said, as Sora nodded suddenly turning pale.
"Will there be sharks at the shipwreck?"
"No."
"Oh good."
"There's going to be one huge, man eating shark there."
"Are you serious?" I nodded, as Sora looked a little scared but looked normal after a thought. "By the way, why don't you look more like Ariel in this form? You shouldn't have the same shirt on."
"I'll find a way to drown myself in this form before I wear one of those bikini shells!" I hissed, as Sora laughed. After a long swim, we soon arrived at the shipwreck and made it inside but not before Sora and I saw a dark mass swimming around.
"Quick, let's just get it and get out." Sora whispered, as Flounder nodded looking equally scared.
"Why so soon, Sora? We just got here." Ariel said, going near a chest by a large window. I grabbed Sora's arm and moved back.
"It's the shark."
"Shark, what shark?"
"THAT SHARK!" Donald yelled, as he, Goofy, and Ariel moved away from the window as a huge shark came through the window. It tried to reach us with it's mouth chomping on water but soon swam away when he knew that couldn't eat us. Wait, was the shark even a he?
"That was close." Ariel said, completely unfazed by this.
"Weren't you scared at all?" Goofy asked, as Ariel shook her head and went to the chest. Sora and I looked at each other, Ariel really can't be a princess of heart; she's a bit too fearless for her own good and drags people into danger kind of knowingly. Ariel opens the chest and we looked to see a crystal trident.
"Hm. Its shape reminds me of something…"
"That carving in Ariel's grotto." I pointed out. I noticed the carving and new when the trident is placed there, the keyhole will appear.
"Let's go back and see if it fits." Ariel said, and we swam back. This time, Ariel decided to fight some Heartless and she seemed to do really well when it comes to smaller groups. Maybe that's why she's so confident about herself but that's not good. On our way there, I noticed that the number of Heartless were slowly increasing but we made it to the grotto okay. Once Sora placed the crystal trident in the carving, it seemed right for it and really pretty.
"Ariel, you disobeyed me again!" Sora and I jumped and we looked to see King Triton coming into the grotto, looking furious. "I told you not to leave the palace!" But a look of shock at seeing the crystal triton behind us made him raise his trident to destroy it.
"Daddy, no!" Ariel yelled, but that didn't stop her father destroying the beautiful crystal trident and turning it into dust. "How could you?" She swam away from us and her father to cry somewhere and I do feel bad for her. She was only trying to help and collect something new.
"Young man, young lady, you're not from another ocean. You're from another world. Aren't you." Triton stated, glaring down at us.
"Huh?"
"Yes." I said, nodding. I'm not going to kid around with Triton. He, at least, deserves to know so we can help.
"Then you must be the key bearer and the Destiny Keeper." Triton said, looking to Sora and me.
"How did you know?" Sora asked, shocked.
"You two may fool Ariel, but you can't fool me. You don't know your dorsal fin from your tail." Okay, that's kind of true but harsh. "As the key bearer and Destiny Keeper, you both must already know: one must not meddle in the affairs of other worlds.
"Of course we know that, but…" Sora started but Triton interrupted.
"You have violated that principle." He stated, as I glared at him. "The key bearer shatters peace and brings ruin and the Destiny Keeper guides him along the path of destruction."
"Okay, that's enough." I said, hands on my hips. "We're only trying to find the keyholes to make sure the worlds are safe. Those creatures are going to destroy this world if they find the keyhole and you're not letting us. And if meddling with affairs means we're trying to be friends with your daughter then really, what kind of parent are you."
"I thank you for saving my daughter," Triton said, turning his back to us, "but there is no room in my ocean for you both or your keys."
"You do realize that you can't beat the Heartless on your own, even with your trident." I pointed out but Triton glared at me.
"This is my kingdom and I can look after it my way." He said and swam off.
"Man, like father like daughter. Those two are so stubborn." I sighed before turning to Sora, who look sad. "You shouldn't listen to him, Sora. We do a lot of good and he's just worried about his daughter."
"I know but…"
"You just need to be careful when it comes certain thing." I said, patting his shoulder. "You're still new to all this. You'll get used to it."
"Thanks, Anna."
"Come on, let's try and explain again to King Triton. He might know where the keyhole is."
"Right." We got out and I noticed something. No Heartless came to attack us the moment we got out of the grotto. That means…
"We have to get to the palace now!" I yelled and I swam as fast as I could with the others next to me.
"Why are we rushing to the palace?" Goofy asked, as we made it to the front and saw a whole bunch of Heartless there.
"The sea witch, Ursula, who works with the Heartless, thinks the keyhole is here and she'll get the trident from Ariel." I said, as we fought the large number of Heartless before us.
"Then let's go!" Sora yelled, making an opening in the mob of Heartless and we swam for it into the palace.
"What!" We heard Ursula yell as we came into view. "Why, we have company." She smirked at us but it grew at the sight of me. I wonder why. "I'm afraid you're a little late, kiddies!" She said before vanishing in the ink she created.
"Daddy…" Ariel said, looking sorry for what she had done.
"The trident… we must get it back." Triton said, weakly.
"Don't worry, we'll do it." I said, as Sora nodded.
"Come on, let's go!" We made to swim after Ursula But Ariel came to us.
"Wait, I'm going with you!" Ariel said, looking determined. "My father is hurt and it's all my fault. I have to stop Ursula!" Normally, I'd say no but Ariel has proven she can fight and take care of herself so I nodded.
"That's right. I'm right behind you." Sebastian said, as Flounder nodded. Hey, when did Flounder get here? In the game, he just up and vanished after a while.
"Wait." We looked to Triton, who looked to Sora and me. "Ursula draws power from her cauldron. To defeat Ursula, you must strike her cauldron with magic."
"Okay, thank you." I said, nodding to him.
"Please, keep my daughter safe and I'm sorry." The king said, bowing his head to us. We left the palace but not before something happened. I felt Riku's presence some how through out bond and I thought I saw something silver out of the corner of my eye. 'But Riku can't be here.' I argued with myself. 'He's probably doing Maleficent's dirty work.'
No, that's defiantly Riku. I heard Lunar say. If your bond is telling you this, it means it was really him. But I'm not sure why he's here. Maybe he wanted to check if Ariel is a princess of heart.
'No way, I think Maleficent already knows all of them.' I thought. 'I'll think about it later.' I looked to the others, who gathered around Ariel.
"Ariel, do you know where Ursula's lair might be?" Goofy asked, as she shook her head.
"Don't worry, I know but I'll need Sebastian's help for it." I said, looking to the crab.
"Of course, I'm willing to do what ever I can." I nodded and I guided them to the shipwreck but met with a very unhappy being.
"SHARK!" Flounder yelled, as we scattered. For a huge shark, it's fast and I mean really fast. It's hard to keep up with him or dodge completely; he bit Lunar Wish and she yelled at me in my head. Still, at least I have a plan to get back at the shark.
"Donald, Sora. Let's do a thunder spell. All together."
"Thundara!" We yelled and it hit the shark making it go belly up.
"You did it!" Ariel cheered, as we approached a rock with the symbol of Ursula's lair.
"Sebastian, there should be a switch against that wall behind the boat. I need you to push it."
"Of course." Sebastian said and pushed the switch in and the rock blocking the entrance.
"Good, now let's go." I nodded and we swam inside. It was really dark inside the cavern to go to Ursula's lair and it made me remember more on what happened with Damon.
"Damon, we're not supposed to go into the basement." I said, running down after him, as he kneeled down to look at something. Suddenly, Damon got up and ran to the basement door and locked it. "Damon! Let me out! This isn't funny!"
"Oooohhhhh!" I froze and turned around to see only darkness. "Let me out! Please! I'm gonna tell Mommy when she gets home! Let me out!"
"Oh, quiet little Anna or the ghost will get you." Damon moaned, as I started crying in fright.
"Let me out!" All I could hear was Damon laughing on the other side of the door and a few sounds below me as I clung to the stairs crying.
"Anna, snap out of it. Anna!" I looked to see Sora shaking me.
"Are you okay?" Ariel asked, as I nodded.
"Anna, are you scared of the dark?" Sora asked, as I nodded.
"You seem to have a bad memory. What is it?" Donald asked, as I shook my head.
"No, it's nothing really."
"Nothing, you were whimpering." Sora said, looking stern. "Look, you're helping me so I wanna help you. So, can you tell us." I looked to Donald and the others, who looked just as concerned. They are my friends so I guess they deserve to know and it might help me.
"Well, when I was six, I was already scared of the dark." I said, thinking back. "My older cousin, Damon, who was thirteen then, loved to tease me because I was too scared to go upstairs at night with no lights on. I had to go his house all the time because his parents used to babysit me and when they'd leave, they put Damon in charge. Those times with him, are probably the worst things when I was a kid. Then we heard noises in the basement of his house and he started to say his house was haunted. My mom told me there were rats in the basement and not to go down there. But Damon tricked me and locked me in the basement in the dark. He already had a walkie-talkie there so he can make noises to freak me out but I started to see rats when my eyes got use to the darkness. I was so scared, I passed out and I woke up at my house with my parents yelling at my aunt, uncle, and Damon for what happened. Turns out I was in there for a few hours before anyone found me and Damon even forgot he locked me in there and ran off with his friends. I really don't know what happened to Damon after that since my family spent as much time away from him and his family after that but because of him I have a fear of the dark, rats, and ghosts."
"That's pretty mean of him." Sora said, glaring a little. "Next time, just tell us and we'll be here okay."
"Yeah, we're friends, are we?" Donald said, patting my head.
"Right, friends should know about these things so they can support each other." Goofy said, smiling at me. That's right, they are my friends just like Ventus, Aqua, and Terra.
"Thanks guys. I really need that." I said, as Sora nodded.
"When we see ghost Heartless, I'll deal with them for you." I nodded and we headed to Ursula's lair. As we entered, there were some ghost heartless that Sora took care of for me but we also noticed the grass beings on the looking to us for help.
"What are they?" Donald asked, shocked and terrified.
"They're mer-people who made deals with Ursula." I said, looking down at them at pity.
"This is awful." Sora growled and we entered the chamber where Ursula is as she glared at us from her little hole on the wall.
"Come out! You can't run!"
"Your time is up!" Donald and Sebastian yelled at the sea witch but faltered as the sea witch jumped out of her hole and gave a death glare at us.
"Donald, Goofy, you guys deal with Ursula's eels, I'll use my magic on the cauldron so Ariel and Sora can fight Ursula."
"Right, thank you Anna." Ariel said, as I went down to the cauldron. The battle didn't last very long. A few Lunar Light spells on the cauldron and Ursula passed out giving Sora and Ariel time to attack. Then again, that's what a boss gets for having it's health tied to an object and not defending it. At once, the eels, Flotsam and Jetsam, vanished into darkness and Ursula glared at us.
"You'll pay for this!" Ursula yelled running into the hole, which I think was a backdoor of some kind because I'm not aware of any other entrance than the front one.
"Let's go. We must get the trident back." Ariel said, as Sora nodded.
"But where can Ursula be?" Goofy asked, as Ariel and I looked at each other.
"I'll take you there." We got out of the lair and swam against a current to get to Ursula who had the trident in her hand.
"You pathetic fools! I rule the seas now!" Ursula yelled at us before propelling herself up and away from us as the trident glowed. "The sea and all its spoils bow to my power!" We swam up and turned to see Ursula had grown into a giant and looked ready to squash us.
"Donald, do something!" Sora yelled as we dodged bubbles that Ursula sent our way.
"What can I do?"
"Are an octopus like her too!" Sora yelled, as I rolled my eyes.
"That's not gonna work, Sora! Aim for the face! Just attack the face!" I yelled, and we rushed in. Donald and I had to keep casting Aero spells on ourselves as well as Sora and Goofy as fought the head. It's a lot harder than the fight earlier but I guess that's better because Sora hit Ursula right between the eyes for her finishing move and she screamed as she fell. "Nice one, Sora." I said, high fiving him as Ariel took the trident.
"Come on, let's return it to my father."
"Right." We swam back to the palace and the number of Heartless really did drop but Riku's presence was still there. We were in front of Triton with his triton back and Ariel looked really guilty.
"Daddy, I'm sorry." Ariel said, her head down in shame.
"Please don't be angry with her." Sora pleaded, as I nodded. Ursula just abused Ariel's desire to see other worlds as well as her anger at her father to get the trident so really she wasn't in her right mind.
"It's my fault. You followed Ursula because I wouldn't let you follow your heart." Triton said, looking sad at his daughter, who smiled at her father. "And when you found that crystal, I lost my temper and destroyed it."
"Oh yeah, the crystal!" Goofy exclaimed, looking shocked. "Why did you destroy it?"
"That crystal held the power to reveal the keyhole." Triton said, as I nodded. "The keyhole is dangerous. I had to keep you away from it at any cost." Odd because the keyhole is in Ariel's grotto all this time and he hasn't said anything about it. "Key bearer, Destiny Keeper, I have one more request: seal the keyhole. My trident also holds the power to reveal to reveal the keyhole. Will you do it?"
"Of course. That's what we had in mind from the start." Sora said, as I smiled, Sora's going to turn out alright.
"Where is the keyhole, Daddy?" Ariel asked.
"You should know better than anyone." Triton said, as I nodded.
"Yeah, it's been in your grotto all this time." I said, as Ariel looked shocked.
"Really? Sora, Anna, let's go." Goofy said, and we swam off to the grotto. Okay, now I'm certain I saw Riku but he was gone sooner than he appeared. Still, not a good time to think about it. When we entered the grotto, the trident reacted to the carving as bubbles appeared, forming the keyhole. Sora and I pointed our keyblades at the keyhole and sealed the keyhole. Okay, this has to be the prettiest keyhole sealing so far.
"Tell me, Sora, Anna. Your world, what's it like?" Ariel asked, as Sora and I looked at each other.
"Oh, about that. Sorry for lying to you." Sora said, looking guilty but Ariel shook her head.
"It's okay." Ariel said, floating up to the light above. "Besides, if you guys can travel to other worlds, maybe I can, too. So many place I want to see… I know I'll get there someday. I'll find a way somehow. I'm sure of it."
"Well, if you find it, do me a favor and leave me out of it." Sebastian said, shaking his head.
"Sorry, Sebastian, but you'll be stuck with her in that too." I said, as Sebastian shook his head furiously.
"No, I don't want to think of it!" Sebastian said and swam off. So we said our goodbyes and we got back to the gummi ship aching and in pain.
"We swam for too long." I moaned as Chip and Dale put soothing patches on us.
"I say we take a day off to rest up." Sora said, looking close to a rag doll.
"Okay, I think we deserve it." Donald said, not nodding because his whole body hurt. After resting for a few hours, we managed to go to our rooms and letting the gummi ship revolve around Atlantica for a bit. I got to my room and lay on my bed to see Kairi sitting on my chair looking a little sad.
I'm sorry, Anna. I never knew.
"Hey, it's okay. You didn't know." I said, sighing.
Still, at least you know Riku is still watching you. Kairi said, with a grin.
"Don't say that, ow! It hurts!" I whined as I heard Kairi and Lunar laugh. At least I'll have tomorrow to rest but I've got two worlds left before going to Hollow Bastian and one of them I'm really not looking forward to. I need to find a way to not enter this certain world. 'If not, Sora will need to help me a lot in the next world.'
Anna: And you just had sushi. Wow, the poor fish.
Blair: Nobody messes with Crystal and her food.
Anna: And we find out why I'm scared of the dark.
Blair: So Damon is like Alyss, a character made for people to hate.
Anna: Speaking of which, where is Alyss?
Crystal: Last I checked she went on a long vacation.
Blair: Lucky.
Crystal: Yes, that's true. Anyway, I'm proud of my work today. So, hope you liked this chapter. Join us next time in Chapter 11: Halloween Town. See you soon!
