Kingdom Hearts: Saving Life in Another World

Chapter 77: Charging into battle

A few days prior to the meeting between Vincent and the others, someone was walking around the forest, having managed to escape the hell that was the heartless attack on the city of Chaosflame.

He turned back to make sure the creatures that attacked the city aren't following him at all.

Once this was secured, he started to slow down in order to reserve energy.

As he started to go from running for his life to walking with calmness, he looked up at the sky, wanting to see if the stars would tell him anything.

'...seems like all of this wasn't originally predetermined by fate. I know that the alignment of the stars change at every moment but why last-minute change?'

This man wearing an oversized dark long-sleeved robe and pants of the same color as well as a white-striped purple undershirt thought, having found it odd that a change in destiny would suddenly happen.

He had foreseen a great calamity that would be the destruction of the empire but now he sees that something had change this fate, an outsider had hijacked the original destined path.

The man looked closely once again at the stars, hoping that they guide him to his purpose, to help the Emperor retain as much peace in the nation as possible.

After a moment of reading the stars, he could see that there's a new threat that puts the Empire at risk of being destroyed.

'If what I'm able to see is current, then we are all doomed...' The man stopped on his footsteps as he felt a bit of fear in him. 

Normally he wouldn't care since he had survived many crazy encounters and has seen a lot of death but seeing that the end could possibly be near, he starts to think on what he could do.

He was able to escape the gladiators of Island of Ginunhive. the failed rebellion of that island, and just now with the heartless attack on Chaosflame. 

This situation requires more than just running away. He looked back at the city of Chaosflame, seeing that the fight was still going on despite the distance he had gained from the city.

'Whatever those creatures are, I, Ubilk, mustn't get captured by them or killed. My role is important, making my life important. Although his exile was suppose to be necessary for the safety of the empire, I must now get to the emperor and tell him of the new information the stars have told me.'

With this in mind, he continued to walk towards the direction away from the city of Chaosflame, confident that Yorna and her people will be able to handle the heartless with ease.

Ubilk walked for an hour before running into a couple of travelers. He didn't pay them too much attention since they didn't seem important but as he was passing by them, one of them turned towards his direction before asking,

"Sir, could you tell us where we are at?"

"Hm?" Ubilk turned towards the voice, picking up that the person asking him this question was someone from Kararagi just by their voice alone. "What are you doing out here in the Vollachia Empire?"

"What do you mean?" The unknown young man asked with a curious voice. Ubilk thought back on his question, noticing that it might sound a bit hostile which was something he didn't intent to. This forced him to quickly back-pedal by saying,

"Sorry about that, I mean to sound hostile. Where do you need to go?"

"We are looking for a person rather than a place."

Ubilk stood on his guard secretly, unsure on what the intention between these three travelers were. He cautiously asked:

"Who exactly are you looking for?"
