Hello guys, Koyuki or SaphirActar there ! Here we are not for Error but Mistake ! (French... mistake, sorry haha). I hope it will remind you some memories of KHII. It was inspired by a story Ejes told me. She's polite so she just wanted to say hi to old Sephy... But well, he's not that kind with people so, you know the rest of the story ! Sephiroth please, be more gentle next time, ok ?
Tomorrow, the theme will be Loss... One of my favorite prompts !
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
The next one who would say that would probably receive Sora's Keyblade in the head. Sure, that wasn't exactly wrong, but some things, while not killing you, didn't exactly make you stronger either, and weren't quite… pleasant. He learnt this the hard way.
It was a perfectly regular stroll around the Hollow Bastion, with Donald and Goofy. The trio were fighting the heartless to help the restoration committee cleaning up the town. It was an endless job, but a good way to improve their fighting skills. This time they had walked pretty far away, all the way to where Sora had fought the 1000 heartless once. A memorable fight that he was proud of and kept on talking about.
"We did a great job today, hy-uck!" Goofy cheered. "I think it's time to go back before night falls!"
"Can we have a look at the Dark Depths?" asked Sora.
"What for?" Donald really wanted some rest.
"I don't know, we might find something interesting?"
The boy didn't really leave any choice to his friends, and they soon were on their way. There wasn't any heartless, which was a good sign. However, there was a man with long silver hair, looking in the distance. The Keyblade Wielder was sure he knew him somehow, but he couldn't remember where from. Since he woke up in the Oblivion Castle, his memory still was hazy sometimes. It would come back.
"Uh, perhaps we should leave him alone and go?" suggested Goofy.
"He looks familiar… I'd like to talk to him!"
"Sora, you can't just bother people like that!" Donald scolded the boy.
"I'm just going to say hi, I won't be an hindrance. What could happen to me just because I greet someone who looks familiar to me?"
The brunette walked to the silver-haired man, with shining eyes, a big grin on his face and the best intentions in the world.
And this is how Sora remembered who Sephiroth was. His name, and more importantly his fighting skills. No need to say that this was a total, brutal and stinging defeat, as the group had not expected a fight.
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
Sora didn't really feel stronger after such a beating, but he at least learnt something. When a stranger (ish) with long, gorgeous silver hair was looking in the distance with a dramatic face, never EVER talk to him. Would that apply to Riku too? Sora would have to think about it.
