Day 49: Thalassa Shell “Oooh-kay! Independent study time!” Selphie called out. Tidus, Wakka, and Kairi were all lined up, facing Selphie. “Tidus-you’ll be looking for marine life in the waterfall pond” “Right!” Tidus said with a nod. “Wakka-you’ll be looking for plantlife” “No problem!” Wakka said, putting up a fist. “And Kairi-you’ll be collecting the seashells” “’Kay” Kairi said with a nod. “Sounds good-hehe. I’ll make sure to write down everything in our log, and when it’s finished, we’ll put everything together in this book!” Selphie held out a small, brown book, flipping through its blank pages. “Let’s meet back here in an hour, okay?” The three of them nodded in return, and went their separate ways. It was well into the afternoon. The sun was shining down on the island, heating up the sand, making the ocean water clear enough to see the floor beneath it. Kairi walked along the shore, beginning her search. After about a half an hour, she had a well-sized handful of seashells. She walked over to the wooden bridge that connected the smaller island. Once she made her way across, she set them down in a pile, right next to the papou tree. She turned around, making her way back to the shore. ____________ “Yoo-Tidus? Have you found anything yet?” Wakka was looking through the bushes that surround the small waterfall. “Not yet!” Tidus called out. He was standing in the small pond, staring down at the water, right below the waterfall. The two of them heard some shuffling in the distance. “Hm? Did you here that?” Tidus asked. They both stopped what they were doing, and looked up, listening closely. “I don’t see anything…” Wakka said. They waited a couple seconds, without moving. “Must just be the wind or something” Tidus said, as the two of them went back to their search. _____________ “Xemnas…her memories were wiped clean…is that right?” Saïx was leaned up against a wall, his hood covering his face. Xemnas turned around slowly, looking over at him. “Correct…” “And if that’s true…then that means….it’s only a matter time…” Xemnas turned back around, looking out at The World that Never Was, from the windows of The Round Room “Indeed…it is… _____________ Kairi looked down at the sand. She noticed a small thalassa shell, right below her feet. She smiled, picking it up. It was one her favorites to collect. “Oh-Kairi!” Kairi turned around to see Selphie, calling out to her. She was looking through the small brown book with confusion. “Have you seen the log anywhere?” Kairi shook her head, walking towards her. “This is so weird! I know I put it inside the book, but now, I can’t find it!” she said. Kairi took a quick look around. “Oh-there!” Kairi pointed over to the dock. The log was leaning against the wooden stairs that led up to it. “There it is!” Selphie said. She ran over to it, grabbing it, and placing it back inside the book. “Thanks Kairi.” “Sure” “I don’t understand. How did it get out?” “Must just be the wind or something….” Selphie looked up at the sky, trying to feel a breeze. She couldn’t remember the last time she felt the air so still. ______________ “Hold still little fish!” Tidus was holding a small camera, pointed down at the water. He was struggling to get a clear shot. “Ey, we have to check in with Selphie now” Wakka said. “Huh?!” Tidus looked up with surprise, accidently taking a picture of Wakka. He looked back down at the water, to see no fish. “Aww mann!” “Hey guys, how’s your search been so far?” The two of them looked over to see Kairi, walking towards them. “Great!” Wakka said. “Ehh..” Tidus said. “C’mon, let’s check in with Selphie” she said, turning back around. ______________ The four of them laid their findings out across the sand. “Hm..I think this is enough!” Selphie said, scribbling away on the log. She pulled out the small book. “Hey Tidus-let me see those photos” Tidus handed her a short stack of photographs. Selphie shuffled through them, trying to find the best one. Some of them were fine, and some were mistakes, but one in particular caught Selphie’s attention. “Huh?” she asked. “Whats…this?” “What? Let me see” Tidus said. All three of them huddled around Selphie, looking down at the small photograph. On it, was the picture Tidus mistakenly took of Wakka. It was a bit blurred, and titled to the side. On the right, was Wakka, standing in front of the camera, on the ledge that curved around island, leading into The Secret Place. On the left was the shore of the island, and the ocean, stretching out into the horizon. Behind Wakka’s shoulder, out into the distance, was a large, door-like makeup of darkness. A dark corridor, in mid-formation. “Ey…I never saw dat…” Wakka said slowly. “What do you think it is?” Selphie asked. “I don’t know” Tidus said without interest, sitting back down across from Selphie. “Oh no!” Selphie looked up, to see Kairi, shuffling through her seashells. “Where’s….where’s the thalassa shell?!” “What’s wrong?” Selphie asked. “I found a thalassa shell earlier…and now…its gone!” Kairi said, leaning back, with a sad look on her face. The four of them were silent, noticing how troubled Kairi was. “It’s alright Kairi….we’ve got all the shells we need” Selphie said Kairi looked away. “Yeah…I guess you’re right…” She kept her head low, still saddened by the loss. Then, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up, to see Selphie looking back at her. “Hey Kairi, it’s going to be sundown soon…you know what that means, right?” Kairi smiled, knowing exactly what that meant. ________ “She may be of good use to us…in due time” Xemnas said nothing in return. “And Xion?” Xemnas took a long pause, before speaking. “Eventually….the puppet will play her part” he said slowly. _________ The orange sun shined bright upon the mainland, glistening over the water, making a halo through the trees of the island. The four of them were sitting on top the grass hill, eating their sea-salt ice cream. Kairi was staring down at the ground, stilling mulling over the fact that the shell she found disappeared. "Yeah I heard some other kids talking about him too! They say he wears a golden gauntlet on his arm!" Tidus says. Kairi looked back up with surprise when she heard him say that. "What? That's crazy" Waka said as he takes another bite. "I wonder what he's doing on the islands then...it doesn't sound like he's from around here," Selphie said “Who?” Kairi asked. “I don’t know…some mysterious man. No one has any idea who he is” Tidus said. Kairi looked up at the sky. It’s been a few weeks since the last time she saw him. -FLASHBACK- “A fruit that brings together people’s destinies...if only…” He threw the star-shaped fruit aside, and turned around to walk away. Kairi looked up at the man’s face, getting a clear glimpse for the first time. His red eyes lacked any sign of emotion. He simply walked past her, without looking down. -FLASHBACK ENDS- “You know guys, we only have a few weeks before school starts!” Selphie said. “Oh man! I’m scared…” Wakka said. “Yeah…I kinda am too” Tidus said. Kairi looked over at the three of them, with a reassuring smile. She turned, facing them. “So if we’re scared, then lets make a promise!” “Huh?” Tidus asked “What for?” _________ “What you said back there kinda got brain...uh…thinkin’. Whenever you make a promise that’s super duper important, maybe it gives you the courage to face the scary stuff!” Goofy said. Sora looked up, thinking over what he said. “Courage…” He looked back down, nodding with confidence” _________ “Alright! Let’s do it!” Selphie said, getting up off the ground. “Hehe. Even if we get scared, or in trouble, or even if we get separated!” Kairi said. She stuck out her hand, followed by the others. _________ “Whatever happens, we’re friends!” Sora drove a fist into his other hand. He let go, and placed a hand on top Donald and Goofy’s. “All for one, and one for all!” Donald yelled out. _________ “All for one, and one for all!” Selphie called out, her hand resting on top her friend’s. They all smiled, feeling the confidence of their newly made promise. They turned towards the landscape, watching the sun make it’s final descent into the waters. The stars were beginning to appear, one by one, high above the sky. If you watched closely, you could see one in particular, shining brighter than the rest. It was Castle Oblivion, where Sora was about to face Marluxia. _________ Epilogue Footsteps tapped along the hallway of the castle. A door slowly creaked open, as Xion walked over to Roxas’s bedside. She brought down her hood, smiling down at him. In her hands, she held a small thalassa shell. “I went to a new world today Roxas, you should’ve seen it.” She glanced down, then back up again. “It was so beautiful.” ______________________________________________________________________________ Day 84 PREVIEW “Hey. I’m back” DiZ and Namine turned around, looking at the young voice that called from behind. They took a long look at his change of apperance. “Your eyes can’t lie, can they?” DiZ said.

"Shut up." -Cloud KH2

Thank you man, I thought of it as the least I could do http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png

Hey, I've been steadily getting back to writing more of this, after a week of having my time occupied by a project for a drawing class. But I know its been a while, and I'm sorry there's been such a long wait. So, to show my apologies, I've prepared a small package: It includes some great Sokai art, and a wonderful song I just recently found that I think goes along well with the pictures. I hope you enjoy, haha http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png the next part is on its way, and will be posted soon

Thanks so much man I'm glad to hear you enjoy reading it, and I appreciate the support ^^ Thank you man Haha....shhhh Haha! Imagine that. Thank you so much man It means a lot, and I appreciate the support. I felt the same way about that part of the story. There was such little focus on it, that it looked like a white canvas, ready for work

Thank you so much man I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. I've decided to make it a story, so I'll be posting the next part in time Aw, thank you so much man It mean's so much to hear that, and I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. RP stands for Role-Playing Many thanks man I appreciate the support Thanks so much for the comment I appreciate it, and thanks for the advice. Now, I'll be keeping close eye whenever writing, making sure I mention the setting, to avoid confusion. I've also wondered the same thing, about how they renew the city, and where the people come from, but while I was looking over information on kingdomhearts.wikia.com, I found out that it was when Radient Garden was swallowed by darkness, that all those people disappeared, leaving only the castle, that became Maleficent's stronghold. Leon and the gang found refuge in Traverse Town, and Kairi ended up on the islands. So when Sora closed Kingdom Hearts, returning the worlds to their original states, all of those people who disappeared came back. Aw, thanks so much http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png I appreciate the support, and I'm so happy to hear you enjoy reading these stories Thank you man I'm glad you enjoyed reading this, and I appreciate the support Many thanks, I truly appreciate it ^^

I love this

This is great I always love the science-fiction stories, especially ones regarding human augmentation, because there is so much that can be done, not only regarding outward conflict, but internal as well

Haha, Baby Ven! ^^ Aw, thank you so much It means so much to know that, and I'm so glad you enjoy reading Kairi's Story. I've been too busy with homework to write more, sadly, but it's coming, and It's funny, I was just planning on posting my apologies on the forum http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png; heh

Hmm.....Instead, how about I post a Kim Yoshiko comic? http://kimyoshiko.de...set=24#/d49q9ec Haha, thank you for the comment, and although it's only been a few minutes, I've decided to complete this and post it, thanks to you n___n

Thank you again for the response and support It means so much to me, and it's helped me grow closer to developing what I've written so far I've written more, incorporating this into a Post-KH II, Pre-Coded, Crossover between a television series that I don't want to reveal in this post, so it's not spoiled, haha. But what do you think about this? I'd love to hear more thoughts about this new idea, and these new sequences This takes place directly after that scene from the first post: “Hey there you guys are! I’ve been looking ever-OH GOD NOT AGAIN!!” Riku threw his hands over his eyes at the sight of Sora and Kairi leaning in towards one another, remembering the last time he accidentally walked in on them kissing. “Riku!” Sora said. “It’s okay Riku. We’re just sharing a papou” Kairi said. “Ok, that’s a relief….so you guys finally got around to it, huh?” Riku said, taking a seat beside them. "Well we were about to..." Kairi said, looking away in disappointment. "You know, they say the proper way is to-" BOOM! The floor beneath them shook. Riku jumped to his feet. "What was that?!" he said, looking around. "I don't know...it sounds like something crashed!" Kairi said. "Aw man....I dropped it!" Sora said, looking down at the ground where the papou lay. Ignoring what he said, the three rushed outside to see what happened. When they made their way to the sand, they stood with shock at the sight. Resting on the water was a large gummi ship, different from the one Donald, Goofy, Jiminy, and the King left in. "Huh? Are they back?" Sora asked. The door of the ship opened up slowly. The three of them stood there, waiting for them to come walking out. They all gave a confused look, as no one came out the ship. "That's weird...where are they?" Riku said. They slowly made their way towards the ship. "Heeey! Donald! Goofy!" Sora called out. "Mickey! You there?" Riku yelled. There was no answer. They stepped inside, looking around cautiously. The inside was completely empty. "Sora! Riku!" "Riku! Sora!" Sora and Riku both turned around in surprise, towards the front of the ship. "Huh? Is that Chip and Dale?" Sora said with a confused look. They walk over to the control panel. On the small monitor, they saw the two familiar chipmunks, jumping up and down with excitement. This takes place at a later part: Kairi wobbled to her feet. She stroked back some hair, looking around at where she was. She was surrounded by airplanes, inside a large hangar. Most of the lights were off, except for some in the center of the roof, including one directly above her. "Huh...Where am I?" she said to herself. "Hey, you there! What are you doing on private property?!" Kairi turned around, to see a man dressed in a collared shirt, with a vest and tie, looking at her with suspicion. "Huh? W-what do you mean?" she asked. "Security!" The man called out, ignoring what she said. Two men grabbed Kairi from behind. They were both wearing the identical uniform, a dark blue coat with a patrol cap. "Hey! W-What are you doing?! Let go of me!" Kairi struggled, trying to wrestle out of their grip. "What's going on here?" A soft voice called out from afar. "Mam, this girl was caught trespassing" The man in the vest said. Out of the shadows, a young woman, with long, black hair, and dark lipstick emerged. She was dressed in a dark coat, laced with red. Her green eyes looked over at Kairi. "Guys, I appreciate it...but use your eyes. This girl's obviously lost" she said. The guards let go, as the young woman stepped over to Kairi.

Thank you so much I'm glad you enjoyed reading it ^^ Thank you so much I'm the exact same way; I always love seeing the romance between Sora and Kairi And I feel the same way about KH III Aw thank you so much I appreciate it, and I'm glad you enjoyed reading it

These are great drawings I haven't played TWEWY, and from that perspective, I can tell you that these characters look great. I would love to find out who they are, and read about their adventures

I’d like to make clear and communicate as a follower of the Christ, Jesus, that I don’t agree with, nor wish to support or advocate the use of the transliterated Hebrew word ‘Sephirot’ or ‘Sephiroth’, which refers to the “enumerations” of God’s revelation, as described in Jewish Kabbalah, as a name for the main antagonist of Final Fantasy VII, who did great evil. Nor do I wish to glorify the ‘magic’ and ‘spells’, who’s origins are derived from polytheism and superstition, that the character Merlin was written as a user of, or the use weaponry as it’s presented separate from this specific story. It’s after having said that, that I write for a creative purpose, and for the ideas, emotions, and morals that are so beautifully presented in these stories that I love and admire. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Prologue A bright light filled the entire sky, as the stars began to twinkle, one by one, back into place. Small petals of radiance rained down from the sky, shimmering as quick as they disappeared into the palm of Leon’s hand. “He did it…” he said. He was standing among everyone else, sharing in their awe of the cosmic spectacle before them. “Well how ‘bout that…” Cid said, resting his hands on his hips. Yuffie turned to look at Leon. “Now that Sora stopped the darkness from spreading, will the heartless stop coming too?” Leon closed his eyes and faced down at the ground. “The only way heartless would stop coming…is if everyone’s heart was filled with light.” He turned to look back at her. “The only thing that matters now…is what we do to rebuild our world.” Aeris rested a hand on her chest, closing her eyes. She couldn’t hear the two talking. Only one thing was on her mind. Only one person was on her mind. “Was he safe?” “Will he ever come back?” “Tomorrow, we can start looking for Merlin. He’s definitely here, and probably looking for us too” Leon said. “Right Aeris?” Aeris couldn’t hear what Leon said. She was still lost in her trance. “Aeris?” “Oh?” Aeris turned around in surprise. “I’m sorry…what did you say?” “Merlin’s probably looking for us here? Right?” “Yes, that’s right” she said with a nod. Leon smiled in agreement, and looked back up at the sky. The four of them stood there for a long time, without saying anything else. It was the first time, in a long time, they were able to look up at the sky of their home. Their garden of radiance. The place that shaped each of them into the person they are today. The place that fell into the hollow bastion of darkness that harbored great evil, but now, was ready to be restored. _____________ One week later…. Leon stepped through the door, closing it behind him. He walked down the hallway of the library, passing by every shelf, one after the other. The morning light shined through the glass window, sending rays onto its green floor. Leon turned into one them, as he held the book up in his hand. “Yuffie, Aeris. I think you two should read this.” The two of them were searching through the archives, looking for any trace of Ansem’s original research. They both looked up, as Leon showed them the title. R------ --rd-- Defense Mechanism. It was tattered, and the front stained, covering the first half of the title, only revealing two ‘r’s and a ‘d’. “Apparently, this town used to be built with a programmed defense mechanism, in order to protect it against any threat, like the heartless, or the nobodies.” Leon looked up at the two. “This book should tell us how to construct one, to aid us in fighting off any threat.” The three of them gathered together, having a long talk about what their next step should be, and what the best way of constructing this mechanism was. After some time, they all heard footsteps, as someone else entered the library. “Hey! Look who I found!” Cid called out. Aeris turned around, looking at the familiar face she would always see in her dreams at night. It was Cloud, standing behind Cid, looking back at everyone. Leon and Yuffie smiled, as Aeris slowly stepped towards him. Cloud kept his eyes low. He almost looked ashamed. Aeris leaned in, as Cloud looked back up at her. She hadn’t seen his face in a long, long time. “Hey…did you miss me?” Aeris asked. Cloud looked back down, and aside. “Of course…” “Looks like you finally made it” Leon said, walking over to the two of them. “Hey Cloud! Where you been all this time?” Yuffie said, following Leon. Cloud looked back at all of them. The memories of his struggle against Sephiroth came back into his head. The lonely nights, looking up at the fading stars, wandering through the darkness, searching for the light within him. “I’ve been busy…” he said. __________ Two weeks later… Leon stepped through the doorway of Merlin’s house, closing it behind him. “Morning Cid” he said. “Mornin’!” Cid said, typing away on his large computer, without turning around. Leon set a large, rolled up sheet on the small wooden table that rested in the middle of the room. Yuffie stepped through the doorway, followed by Aeris and Cloud. “Morning you guys! Is today the big day?” Yuffie said. “It is…” Leon said, rolling out the sheet. On it, was a map of the entire town, from the outer plaza, to the bailey, to the castle. Cid stopped typing, and walked over to the map, as the five of them gathered around. “In order to set up a fully functional defense mechanism, we need to set up four wired signal points around the entire town. But to do that, we not only need a software to program it from…” Leon looked up at Cid. “I’ve got it!” Cid said with a nod, holding up his fist. “…but a power source as well.” They all leaned back, as they realized what this meant. The only power source large enough to get the job done was inside the castle, which was slowly falling apart more and more each day. “What’s good for us, is that it’s portable. But what’s bad is that…” “We need to enter the castle…” Cloud said. “Yeah....that’s right.” Leon said. There was a moment of silence, as everyone realized the type of challenge before them. The castle was not only a labyrinth on its own, but the place where the heartless were most densely concentrated. It was also falling apart, and the power source they were looking for, the Main Generator, was in an unknown location. Everyone looked down, as they processed the information. “How long do you think we have?” Aeris asked. “I’d say about a week” Everyone was quiet once again. “Hey! Why’s everybody so down?! You think this is gonna be too hard for us?! Please!” She took a leap back, throwing her arms out and looking at everyone with a huge grin on her face. “We’re the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee!” Everyone smiled back, realizing what she was saying. “You’re right.” Leon said. “Were in charge of putting this place back to the way it was…maybe even better. And this is where it all begins…” He rolled up the map, and walked over to the door. He stopped, and looked back, without turning around. “So let’s go” OOC: What do you think about this? I've always loved all of those characters in the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee, and all the work they do. When I began writing this, I had the vague idea of making it into an RP, but I've rethought that idea now. Maybe a story, or something else? Or does an RP based on this sound interesting? I wanted to share it with you, and I wanted to see if you had any ideas, perhaps? Anything thoughts at all, I'd love to hear it

This is great

I read the first few chapters of this a while back, and then sometime later, I realized it was written by coolwings so I made sure to read the rest This story is so great man. I love the setting; this other world, and this rising, layered conflict that is still being discovered. It's so much fun to imagine while I'm reading. And these characters you've introduced are just as great. You're keeping me tied with suspense man, and I'm excited to read more

Thank you I appreciate it, and I'm glad you like it. I'm still trying to decide whether to use this in a story, or maybe something else, if it meant to be used at all, haha

Once again, there's a huge grin on my face after reading your comment Thanks so much

OOC: Alongside this post, I want to thank all of you , all of you who've liked, commented, and have taken the time to read the fanfiction I've written. It means so much to me, and I'm humbled to know you all enjoy reading it. That I can, in this way, create a source of happiness. Happiness is only real when shared, and I've certainly felt real happiness when I see the response. Thank you all so much Day 27: Oblivion Kairi woke feeling refreshed, and full of energy. She had a smile on her face, as she sat up in her bed. She turned and looked out her window. The morning rays were shining through the glass, and onto Kairi’s bed. She threw back the covers, and rushed out her room. _________ “Selphie!” “Oh?” Selphie turned to see Kairi, running towards her. She was on the trail that ran through the town’s gardens, holding the jump rope she used to always practice with, but only recently, lost an interest for. “Kairi…you’re alright! How are you feeling?” “Great! I feel completely fine now. You all carried me back home yesterday, right?” “Yeah! Me, Tidus, and Wakka…we were wondering when you were gonna wake up….you just collapsed on the beach all of sudden” Kairi nodded with a smile, “Thanks Selphie,” “Sure! No problem” Selphie smiled back. “Do you feel like going out to the island again today?” “Hmm…my parents are taking me school shopping today, but maybe we could go after? “Yeah! What about Tidus and Wakka?” “They should be finishing up their ball game now!” “’Kay, I’ll ask if they want to come to” “Great! Bye Kairi!” “Bye!” Kairi waved goodbye, as her friend walked down the trail, into the horizon. _________ “Yoo-you sure I’m doing this right?” Wakka said. He was sitting with his right leg curved over his head, arms stretched straight out. “Yeah! These stretches are sure to get us in his shape for the games!” Tidus had his back curved on top of rock, trying to bend it even further. “Hey guys! Do you wa….uh…what are you doing?” Kairi said walking up to the two boys, with a confused look on her face. “Getting in shape for the games!” Wakka said, oblivious to how silly the two of them looked. “Um…okay…well....Selphie and I are going out to the island later today, do you guys wanna come with us?” “Can’t. Gotta keep training” Tidus said bluntly, as a crack could be heard from base of his spine. Kairi was still confused, but didn’t make any effort to persuade. “Uhh, I don’t know Tidus. I think we’ve done enough training for today” Wakka said, getting out of his awkward position. “Ehh..err…aahh” Tidus got up slowly, shaking out his arms and legs. “Hmm…maybe you’re right. Alright! We’ll come too” “Great!” Kairi said with a smile. I’ll be out in front of the water in a little bit, I’ll just wait for you all there.” “Okay” Tidus said. “See ya Kairi!” Wakka said. “Bye!” Kairi said, waving as she walked away. ________ Kairi made her way down the trail, then ran out to the shore. She noticed something. She slowed down, and stood still, staring at the man who was standing there, staring out at the water. It was the man she’d seen before. His red mantle, and long black hair were swaying in the wind. The light reflected off the gauntlet on his arm, making it shine. Kairi was hesitant, and not completely sure what to do. She wanted to ask him who he has, if he was from the islands, but she wasn’t sure if it was the polite thing to do. “A fruit that brings together people’s destinies...if only…” he said, still looking out at the ocean. He threw the star-shaped fruit aside, and turned around to walk away. Kairi looked up at the man’s face, getting clear glimpse for the first time. His red eyes lacked any sign of emotion. He simply walked past her, without looking down. Kairi went over to the fruit, and picked it up off the ground, holding it in her hands. She stared down at it for a long time, thinking over what the man said. An enfolding warmth came over her; giving her an assuaging, almost nostalgic feeling. It was so strange to her. “Why do I feel this way?” she thought to herself. A tear ran down her cheek. “Huh? That’s weird…” she said, wiping it from her face. “Kairi!” Selphie called out, running towards her, along side Tidus and Wakka. Selphie stopped in front of her, noticing the papou in her hands. “Oooh-what are you doing with a papou fruit? Thinkin’ about sharing it without someone?” she teased, leaning in towards Kairi with a smile. “…Am I?” Kairi said, looking down at the fruit with confusion. “You tell me!” Selphie said with a smile, leaning back out. “C’mon!” She said, running towards the wooden boats that were docked near the shore, followed by Tidus and Wakka. Kairi remained still, looking down at the fruit. She thought it over again, but realized there was nothing, rather nobody, on her mind. “Must just be my imagination” she said, dropping the fruit, and running towards the boats. The four of them rode out towards the island. The sun was glistening on the water, making reflections on all its small movements. Kairi watched the mainland slowly getting smaller, and smaller, as she rode away from it. She took one last look, then turned around. _____________________________________________________________ Epilouge: Day 49 “Saïx!” “Xion-there you are.” “Saïx, what’s going to happen to Ro-“ “You needn’t worry about Roxas. Today, you’ll be doing reconnaissance in a new world.” “……” “Don’t get your hopes up. His chances of awakening are unlikely. Come see me when your ready to go.” Xion sunk her head, and slowly walked away. She couldn’t understand the feeling she felt, but she felt it nonetheless. A lump in her throat, and a tightening in her chest, right where a heart would be, if she even had one. -FLASHBACK- “I don’t remember it too well, but Axel said he took me here my very first day with the Organization. And then he brought me some ice cream again after my first mission. Said it was the “icing on the cake.” “A little something else.” Roxas nodded is head, and smiled. “Exactly” “You guys must be close” “Axel’s my first friend” “Your…friend?” Xion paused, and looked down after learning this new word. “Roxas, do you think I could be a friend?” Roxas grinned, and looked over at Xion. “When Axel gets back, let’s ask him. Then all three of us can have ice cream together!” Xion looked over at Roxas and smiled. “Okay!” -FLASHBACK ENDS- Xion walked back over to Saïx. “Saïx, where’s my mission today?” He looked down at her, with the lack of emotion that constantly hung on his face, then back up. “The islands…”

Aww thank you so much It means so much to hear that, and I'm so glad you enjoyed reading it. I'm also glad to tell you that another day is going up in a few minutes!

Thanks so much man I'm happy to hear you enjoyed reading it. I was so excited to post those pictures, alongside what was going on. I wanted to communicate the fact that so many different perspectives were all connected to the same event

Haha! I think about the same thing all the time. I'd love to see a scene where this happens in the next game(s) Haha! Thank you I appreciate it, and I'm so glad you like it. I've thought about the same thing as well, about letting this lead into a romantic story, and hearing you say the same thing makes me consider it even more. We shall see.... *makes a Vexen face*

“I can’t see a thing in here…” “Shhh…we don’t want anyone to hear us” “Okay…you brought it right?” “Yeah, yeah…right here…woah!” “Be careful! Don’t drop it on the ground!” “I got it, I got it! Whew….Do you think we should wash it first?” “No, no…it’ll be alright” “Okay…so…I guess…now…bon appétit?” Sora let out a nervous laugh after saying that. He rubbed the back of his hair, smiling awkwardly. Kairi looked at him with a smile, and looked back down the papou fruit they both held. They were sitting inside the wooden shack that rested on the sands of the island. “You go first, Sora.” “Why me?!” “Wait….don’t we both have to take a bite at the same time?” “I don’t know…I never really knew how it worked exactly.” “Let’s just do it to be sure” “Ok…uhh…on 3?” “…..” Ignoring what he said, they both leaned in, about to take a bite. “Hey there you guys are! I’ve been looking ever-OH GOD NOT AGAIN!!” Riku threw his hands over his eyes at the sight of Sora and Kairi leaning in towards one another, remembering the last time he accidentally walked in on them kissing. “Riku!” Sora said. “It’s okay Riku. We’re just sharing a papou” Kairi said. “Ok, that’s a relief….so you guys finally got around to it, huh?” Riku said, taking a seat beside them. ______________________________________________________________________ OOC: What do you think about this? I wrote this down last night, because of how funny it was to imagine Sora and Kairi awkwardly trying to figure out how to share the papou properly, and Riku being the friend stuck in the middle of it all, haha. I'm not sure where this would go, if meant to go anywhere, but I wanted to share it with you, and I wanted to see if you had any ideas, perhaps? Anything thoughts at all, I'd love to hear it

https://vimeo.com/47556989 This is a trailer-like compilation of different clips surrounding Zuko, from the animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender. It covers his relationship with his uncle, his own banishment, confrontation with his father, and his profound reconciliation. Michael Dante Dimartino, Bryan Konietzko, and the all the other artists on the Avatar staff have created one of the best displays of redemption I've ever seen on an animated series. I hope you enjoy watching it, thanks for reading Name: "Archangel" Artist: "Two Steps from hell" Album: Archangel

This is a great story man
