21: Krystal's Secret

Knock, knock.

You walk to the door and open it. Outside was a smiling Krystal with a basket. Her eyes were a caramel color.

"Hey, whatcha doing at a time like this?" You ask.

"I brought you some breakfast! Can I come inside?"

"Sure!" You step to the side, and Krystal went inside.

Your house was the same as before. Same location, same décor, same everything!

"Nice place!" She said as you both walked to the table.

"Thanks! It just got finished yesterday." You sat down and she took out croissants.

"I need to tell you something, (y/n)." She said.

"Yeah?"

"I-I'm actually a princess. From a kingdom of hearts." She said, her eyes ice blue.

"Oh! Really? Why aren't you at your kingdom?" You ask. Then her eyes turn blue.

"Shadow Knights. Destroyed every single building, even killed some of my people. But, they had mercy for the children and babies. I had them hide in the basement of my palace. After they left, I send a group each to different villages. Not O'Khasis though."

"You are a great ruler." You say hugging her.

"I-I let them destroy my kingdom. I let them kill some of my people." She sobbed into your tank top.

"You had no control over that, Krystal. Think of the positive things! You rescued the children. You settled perfectly here! And how old where you when that happened?"

"10..."

"See? You did something BIG when you were a child yourself. You were brave enough to survive for the children. You could have given up easily! But you didn't. That is why you are a good ruler." You say, smiling. Her eyes turn light brown.

"Thank you (y/n)." She smiled, wiping her tears.

"Anytime."

You both ate, until there was another knock. You open the door and Jeremy was outside.

"Hey ___! Are you gonna come hangout at the Town Square?" He asks

"Sure, we'll be there!" Krystal said, behind me.

"Awesome!" He left, and you closed the door.

"You know what? We should make a little symbol to represent our friendship! 5 in total!" You say.

"But, what will we make it out of?" Krystal says, before taking a bite of her croissant.

"Hmm, let me see what materials I have." You go downstairs to the mineral chest and browse through the things. Finally, you choose the materials: lapis, red stone, iron, emerald, diamond, and obsidian.

"Okay! Got the stuff!" You laid all of the materials on the table.

"Whoa! Emerald? Obsidian?" She was amazed.

"Yup! Now, I'll need a wooden slab, a bunch of stone pots, and my dagger!" You took out an iron dagger, and put it back in your inventory.

Then you got to work.

"You like it?" You lay down 5 pins on the table.

Krystal's light brown eyes widen. "Those are pretty!" She took one and attached it to her purple dress.

You attach it to your (f/c) tank top and go to the mirror. "Whoa! These are pretty!"

"Cool, let's bag the other pins up and get ready!" Krystal said, holding a cream colored bag. You washed your hands, that had some liquid metal on it still and get ready. Krystal smiled.

"Let's do this!"

Much luv <3
