Here comes the 23rd theme! It wasn't an easy one to find a story for, and it's not my favourite prompt, to be honest.

Theme: Secret Legend


Roxas, did you know? There is an eighth wonder in this town. A legend, really. They said that the clock tower was haunted. Every day, when the sun starts to set, you can actually hear voices and laughters, but the cameras never catch anyone going up or down…

Roxas knew Pence's words shouldn't bother him too much. The boy was obsessed with this town's wonders, even though he just pretended it was just something not to be bored. They had helped him solve the seven wonders already, but Roxas wondered why the boy had told him, and him only, about that eighth wonder.

The blonde almost did not sleep that night, and he thought about it the whole day.

Why did it feel so familiar? He went several times to the station, but no voice was heard at all. He should have brushed it off, but he could not. He felt it was something important.

When the sun started to set and the skies turned red, he went back to the station. No voice. No laughter. Nothing but the occasional train departing.

Should he go back? He wanted to. But his body moved on its own and he somehow ended up at the top of the tower.

The place was familiar. Of course it was, Pence, Hayner, Olette and him would go there to eat ice-creams! But why did he almost expect to see black hooded figures, and not his friends?

He felt dizzy. He wanted to go back. This place made him feel uncomfortable. He wanted to run back to his friends. To his life. To what was real.

His foot slipped, and he felt himself falling. At such a height, he would never survive. He shouldn't have come in the first place.

He felt a hand grabbing him, and suddenly he wasn't falling anymore. His saviour put him back to safety with a laugh. "Easy there, buddy."

But when he wanted to have a look at who saved him, there wasn't anybody. Not that his saviour was invisible or imaginary - he heard the hurried footsteps of someone who had run to hide.

"Who are you?"

"I am… Nobody. Don't mind me. Why did you come here?"

"There was a Legend I wanted to check. It was just a hoax, in the end. Do I know you? Your voice is… familiar."

The other man, hiding in the corner of the clock, laughed.

"A hoax? What could that legend be?"

"That voices and laughters could be heard here at sunset."

"And why would that be a hoax? You and I are talking here. People could hear us."

"There are security cameras. And they never caught whoever that was going up or down."

The mysterious man sighed.

"Let me tell you the truth. That was no hoax. But that legend is over now… You won't be able to hear those voices again."

"What happened to them?"

"They are gone. They will never come here again." He laughed. "Fun thing is, they actually are here."

"It makes no sense."

"I know. Many things don't. I thought life was complicated before… But this week by itself is crazier than anything else."

Roxas did not understand, and yet he felt he somehow did. It was hard to put on some words on that.

"Thanks for saving me. What's your name?"

He heard a chuckle from behind the wall.

"You know that already, don't you, Roxas? She said you were not ready to meet me yet. I say I can't watch my best friend stupidly die from a fall. See you around, buddy. Take care."

Roxas heard a strange noise and finally rushed to see the mysterious figure. He couldn't really described what he was seeing. It was like an oval of pure darkness, a door perhaps, and a figure in a long black coat disappeared in it. The door closed behind the man.

That day, Roxas did not need to check the records to know only one person had been seen going up and down this tower: him.

He did not know much about this legend. But for a reason he did not really get, he knew he was a part of it. He was the eighth wonder.


Fun fact: Roxas is my favourite KH character, and he might be the one that appears the least as a main character in my prompts. I do love him a lot but I struggle a lot to write about him, that makes me quite sad :'(

Also, I wanted this stroy to be about the eighth TT wonder, but finding what that wonder would be was quite a tough job. Hopefully I didn't do too bad!

See you tomorrow~

Let's play a game! I tell you tomorrow's theme and you tell me what you think it could be about. (even if you read this long after the next prompt is posted, you can still play! Leave a review about what/who you think it might be about, then read the next one to check. I would be so interested to know about what comes to your mind with the themes!)

Next theme : New Keyblade (This will be the last theme... It went on so fast!)
