DAYBREAK

pursuing the unknown

uncomfortable   silence   hung   in   the   air   as   he   stared   dumbfounded   at   the other   male.   that   smile   of   his   making   him   recoil   /   making   him   wonder why   everyone   in   this   cursed   universe   was   always   so   eager   to   be   friendly towards   complete   strangers   ,   seemingly   ignoring   the   possible   dangers.

❝   right   .   .   .   thanks   ,   i   suppose   i'll   take   you   up   on   the   offer.   ❞   he started   ,   slowly   walking   over   &   taking   the   all   familiar   sea   salt   ice cream into   his   hand   before   sitting   down   ,   feet   dangling   off   the   edge   of the clock   tower.   if   it   hadn't   been   for   his   curiosity   ,   he   wouldn't   have stayed.

oceanic   hues   stared   over   at   the   sky   that   melted   into   gold   &   crimson.   it was   hard   to   believe   that   all   his   hard   work   &   sacrifices   were   in   vain considering   heartless   still   lingered   about   in   the   shadows.

𝔸 𝕃𝕆𝕆𝕂 𝕆𝔽 𝕊𝕌ℝℙℝ𝕀𝕊𝔼 ℂ𝔸𝕋ℂℍ𝔼𝕊 ℍ𝕀𝕊 𝔽𝔼𝔸𝕋𝕌ℝ𝔼𝕊 however at the mention of chirithy ─── either that was a lucky guess , or sora had some kind of experience with the creatures himself . perhaps he should ask him sometime . for now he simply offers him another smile , nodding his head in greeting .

those  imprudent  enough  to  set  foot  `pon  the  barren  land  oft  found  themselves  at  the  mercy  of  the  powerful  heartless  running  amok  or  by  its self-proclaimed  sovereign.  one  born  from  darkness  itself  &  once  apprentice  to  the  most  𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝  𝐦𝐚𝐧  𝐭𝐨  𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫  𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭  𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧  𝐚𝐬  𝐱𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐭.

vanitas  stood  atop  a  cliff  overlooking  the  graveyard's  desolate  landscape  ,  orbs  of  liquid  gold  narrowing  at  the  one  who  had  dared  set  foot  `pon  his  domain.  the  keyblade  war  had  long  ended,  so  why  was  this  person  here   ?  he  could  only  deduce  that  something  else  had  taken  place  during  his apparent  century  long  absence.

❝  who  the  fuck  are  you  &  what  the  fuck  are  you  doing  here  ? the  keyblade  war's  over  shit  face,  so  there's  no  reason  for  a  guardian  of  𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 to  be  here ── unless  you  were  sent  here  by  the  rodent  king.  well  ?  speak.  depending  on  your  answer,  you  may  or  may  not  live  to  see  another  day.  ❞

ℕ𝕆𝕋 𝕋𝕆 𝕄𝔼ℕ𝕋𝕀𝕆ℕ he felt as if ... not all of him were here , something was missing ; and as he began to take in the barren world around him mathias thought it true both literally and metaphorically . was this really where his bright , vibrant , loving home once stood the last time he'd opened his eyes ?

𝕄𝔸𝕋ℍ𝕀𝔸𝕊 ℍ𝔸𝔻 𝔹𝔸ℝ𝔼𝕃𝕐 𝔼𝕍𝔼ℕ 𝔹𝔼𝔼ℕ 𝕎𝔸ℕ𝔻𝔼ℝ𝕀ℕ𝔾 the wasteland ten minutes before he was suddenly face to face with ─── somebody ─── somebody very eager to send his already spiraling mind more information into the churn .

ℍ𝔼 𝔹𝕃𝕀ℕ𝕂𝔼𝔻 , 𝔻𝕌𝕄𝔹𝔽𝕆𝕌ℕ𝔻𝔼𝔻 , trying to keep up , but despite being clearly caught off guard he didn't seem unsettled ─── in fact the man offered up a small smile , hands lifting in mercy . ❝ whoa ... easy , i'm not here to cause any trouble ... ❞ he was getting more and more confused by the second ... he almost wished he could continue napping a while longer . ❝ guardian of light ... rodent king ... ? i ─── i'm afraid i'm not following you , sorry ... ❞

                     the   never   ending   sunset   of   twilight   town   brought   forth   ire. Sora hated   this   place   for   a   plethora   of   reasons   ,   but   the   main   reason was because   𝗵𝗲   𝘄𝗮𝘀   𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻   𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁   𝗽𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗲𝘁   𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹   𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱   𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀𝘁   𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲   𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗻. how he wished he could go back in time again.

he   supposed   there   was   nothing   he   could   do   about   the   resentment   he still   felt   towards   his   former   companions.   at   the   very   least   ,   he   wouldn't harm   xion   ——   if   only   because   roxas   was   fond   of   her.   considering   the blond   was   his   other   half,   he   didn't   dare   make   him   upset.

as   fate   would   have   it   however   ,   he   found   himself   making   his   way   to the iconic   clock   tower.   every   step   that   he   took   brought   forth   memories of his   time   here   before   he   had   all   but   abandoned   this   universe.   to   be back here   was   .   .   .   𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀   𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻   𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗻𝘁.

ℍ𝔼 𝕋ℍ𝕆𝕌𝔾ℍ𝕋 𝕋ℍ𝕀𝕊 𝕎𝔸𝕊 ℍ𝕆𝕎 the world was meant to be ... slow , easy ; people going about their days not having to worry about where the next heartless would show up . he thinks this is what he was first fighting for .

part one is here. change gendered language and add context to your needs. happy roleplaying!! ♡

❛  never underestimate the value of being just who you are. life isn’t about being extreme all the time.  ❜

❛  i used to be so focused. but now, it’s like i just can’t … you know … do stuff …  ❜

❛  you know what i’d like? a chance to talk to someone who isn’t you.  ❜

❛  i waited and waited because i really wanted to see you.  ❜

❛  i’m pretty forgetful, but i’ll record the times we’ve shared in the notebook of my heart.  ❜

❛  there is no rational reason why people act the way they do.  ❜

❛  there aren’t any trendy shops and zero hot men. what a wasteland.  ❜

❛  if i listen carefully to the sound of the rain, it seems like music on the leaves and flowers.  ❜

❛  even if it’s temporary, fleeting happiness is better than none.  ❜

❛  in my opinion, passion is what makes people beautiful.  ❜

❛  no one ever understands me. i’m hungry all the time and no one cares.  ❜

❛  i’m afraid of falling in love and getting hurt.  ❜

❛  you’re just such a little ball of sunshine! you make the world seem like a brighter place.  ❜

❛  one day, i realized that i’m happiest just being myself.  ❜

❛  being filled with doubt and uncertainty is just part of being young.  ❜

❛  doing your best at something you’re really into is kind of what life is all about, right?  ❜

❛  i feel so happy, i might explode! … please promise you’ll clean up if i explode.  ❜

❛  if you ever need someone to hear out your troubles, or even just a shoulder to cry on, just let me know.  ❜

❛  i’m not crying. i’m just using my eyeballs to moisturize my cheeks.  ❜

❛  you’re just so darn cute! i can never say no to you.  ❜

❛  we meet people, get to know them, and then they get up and leave us behind.  ❜

❛  believe it or not, i feel like i’ve known you for a long time.  ❜

❛  the world needs people like me to tell everyone what’s wrong with them.  ❜

❛  it doesn’t matter if you’re powerful or weak. having a strong heart is what counts.  ❜

❛  sometimes i forget who i am and what i’m doing.  ❜

❛  i’m beautiful, but i’m also … deadly.  ❜

❛  there’s something loveable in all of us.  ❜

❛  you’re a little obsessive, aren’t you?  ❜

❛  i always thought you were some freak mental case because you run around town all the time.  ❜

❛  even if perfection is sometimes out of reach, isn’t it still fun to try?  ❜

❛  i’m a lone wolf who doesn’t want to be alone.  ❜

❛  the body is like a battery. every now and then, you need to recharge a little.  ❜

❛  sometimes i put flowers in the toilet so it’s like a huge vase.  ❜

❛  i’ll bet that he’s looking up at the same sky right now.  ❜

❛  even a good memory can make you cry.  ❜

❛  don’t be such a little capitalist! take a deep breath and enjoy a long walk.  ❜

❛  i don’t mean to brag, but, i’m one of those people that’s good at everything.  ❜

❛  you don’t know me. don’t try to judge me.  ❜

❛  i care about you a lot. if you’re having a hard time, i’m here for you  ❜

❛  when someone fakes a smile, don’t get mad. at least they’re trying.  ❜

❛  i guess i just went into fight or flight mode, you know? only my ‘fight’ is more like ‘cry.’  ❜

❛  i’m gonna have to come up with something nice to say about you that sounds believable.  ❜

❛  if you go around trying to change everyone, you’re just going to make them angry.  ❜

❛  i guess you’re having one of your shy episodes.  ❜

❛  i feel like you’re staring at me and it’s making me nervous …  ❜

❛  i do not like to go around spreading rumors. but you won’t believe the rumor i just heard.  ❜

❛  i’ve got this feeling that we have chemistry, and it scares me …  ❜

❛  what’s it like to be so cool and self-assured?  ❜

❛  nobody’s ever nice to me except you.  ❜

❛  when i look up at the stars, i just wonder … what will they all become someday?  ❜

❛  you’ve definitely gained 1-2 [ pounds / kilograms ] since the last time i’ve seen you. i can see it.  ❜

❛  i like to think that it’s my job to show you young people how hard life is.  ❜

❛  ah, it’s such a good story. but i am legally prohibited from sharing all the details at this time.  ❜

❛  you can forget about being friends with me.  ❜

❛  i’m leaving this awful town.  ❜
