I've been really busy lately, so I haven't given myself time to play this game. I'm an avid Zelda fan, thought, so here's a little something I did for one of my best friends, @majaraco ~

One of my favorite childhood games.~  This one was made for my bro's birthday. :) 

Did this one for one of my best friends. It was her B-day a few days back. I'm normally horrible with backgrounds, and this is not the exception. :'D

@tsu-za Merry Christmas! I’m your Secret santa from @khsecretsanta …If these two blonds’ presence was not obvious enough haha. Hope you like it! And down here is a little extra because I felt like it! xD   

I like to make things as canon-like as possible, so this is how I think a meeting between these two could happen. (It’s a bit lame, but I did it in 10 minutes so can’t expect much of it haha) Anyway, enjoy!~ 

Cloud stood at the bailey, looking towards what once was the proud structure of Hollow Bastion’s Castle. It had been a few weeks since Leon and the rest had found their way back home from Trasverse Town. Even if in ruins, it was good to be back. Yet, there was still something missing. Cloud felt he couldn’t settle down properly until his unfinished business was taken care of. He closed his eyes in thought, appreciating his moment of solitude. But it didn’t last…

“Wow, this place has changed a lot since I last visited.”

Cloud opened his eyes at the sound of the stranger’s voice. Even if he didn’t show it, he was unnerved by the fact that he didn’t sense anyone approaching him. 

Just a few steps away, there was a kid no older than fifteen staring at the castle far away; his face unreadable as he bite at the icecream bar in his hand.

“Hmm, sweet and salt… Sora should try one of these…” he said to himself before turning to Cloud as if just noticing him there. “Would you want to try some?”

Cloud shook his head as his only answer, before relaxing again. For some reason, this kid didn’t feel like a threat. “You… seem familiar,” he commented instead.

The kid smiled knowingly. “Maybe it’s because we aren’t that different… Sora and I.”

“Sora?” that name sounded strangely familiar, yet, he couldn’t place where he had heard it before.

“Don’t worry, you’ll remember him eventually. I’m Ventus, by the way. But you can call me Ven.”

“Cloud,” he said shortly.

“Cloud,” Ven repeated with a nod, before jumping on the lower wall that separated them from the deserted grounds surrounding the castle, and sitting down on its edge.

A few minutes passed in companionable silence, before Ven spoke again.

“Light…”

That got Cloud’s attention. “What about it?”

“It’s closer than you think, you know?” Ven grinned, with the empty stick of his ice-cream bar between his teeth. “I’m sure you’ll find yours. Just don’t give up, okay?”

Cloud was a bit perplexed at these words. He looked down in thought, but when he looked back to give an answer, the kid was nowhere to be seen.
