Let me just say... I am so sorry it has been forever!
A New World
It was a strange feeling... entering the gate for the first time. There was nothing inside but bits and pieces of strange odds and ends that were clearly from other times. Shortly after entering the gate, I was swept into a bright light, the next thing I knew, I was somewhere else entirely...
Beneath my feet, I could feel the strangely familiar feeling of sand, but it wasn't like the cold white sand back home. This sand was soft with a golden look to it. Unlike the sandy planes that I was used to, there were plants here, and trees too!
On my left, there was a large ocean of water that stretched as far as the eye could see. I had never in my life seen so much water in one place. The reflections of the moon danced across the water in a way that I had never seen before.
"W- Wow..."
"What is it kupo? The ocean?" My little floating friend asked.
"Yeah... this is, amazing." I replied, shaking my head in disbelief. "So... this Serah girl, she's here?" I asked him.
"Yes. I can scene her kupo!"
"Okay good, at least were on the right track then... Lets look around." I told him.
In this place, the wind was so warm... it brought sweet scents to my nose that I had never smelled before. I could see birds flying around the trees, and fish swimming in the water.
There was life here...
But that wasn't all. No, there was more than that.
"N- No way..."
"N- Noel? What is it kupo?"
"I- I'm not the only one anymore." I mumbled.
There were people... Living people, walking in the distance by the shore line.
I was almost so caught up in the moment I had hardly realized they were running from someone... or more like something.
"A- A monster... ?!" I yelled.
"Oh no! Serah might be in trouble, kupo!"
"You're right, we better check it out! Come on!"
