Across worlds and time

We returned to Sid's tower to give him an update on what had happened in Olympus Coliseum. "I see so you where not able to regain your strength" Sid said

"No biggie I learned a lot."Sora said with that grin of his.

"Regardless Sora you need the power of waking." Sid said

I heard groans coming from Sora's direction. "It can't be forever Sora. Maybe something will trigger it" Goofy said

"Yeah like a few dozen whacks on the head from Chris" Donald laughed

I laughed at his comment while Sora protested. "Or maybe even a kiss from the one who your heart truly loves" Goofysugested

I blanked at this. That had been me when he had his memories of every little detail about me and when I originally fought with him as my true self not as this lie. Now who knows who it was, I definately didn't want to find out. While I blanked Sid continued to talk to the boys. I only came back into focus when Riku and the King came in. "We're back master" Mickey said

"I shall alert the media" I mumbled under my breath.

I moved off to the corner to think by myself. But as the Fates would have it I really didn't get to have that time, mainly because I was enjoying the comedy act going on right in front of me. "We didn't fare any better and Chris sorry" Riku said

"What for?" I asked

"For having things go with Sora as far as for you to give up your possibly only chance at happiness and for the knife you loaned out to me it bro-" Riku started to say then he brought out the knife and it was in one piece again. Time for the wheel of half truths.

"I got it years ago on my birthday along with another knife it came with a note that wasn't signed it just said ' one is for you and one for the one who has fought and conquered the darkness' I never questioned it. I gave it to you cause you well.." I said giving him the half truth

The whole truth was that I got it from my mother when I was fourteen. She said the daggers where connected to one another and they would never be destroyed by any means known to man. The only way for them to be destroyed was for them to be melted back down in the forge from which they came. "I see" Riku said giving me a look

"I was six sue me" I dead panned

"Okay point" Riku stated

"So what of Aqua?" I asked

Riku and the king looked at each other and shook there heads no. Great. "C'mon can I finally say something?" Sora demanded

"You just did Fish Brain" I grinned

"Hey!" Sora shouted while Riku burst into a fit of laughter.

"Fish Brain Why didn't I think of that one" Riku laughed

"Cause you aren't moi" I said putting a hand to my chest in a very dramatic manner.

That sent everyone into gales of laughter. I even joined in. Riku was the first to calm down. "We know that master Aqua made it as far as the beech that Sora, Chris, and I once visited" Riku said

Then I tuned out the conversation entirely. I was listening though. Mickey and Riku would retrace Aqua's steps to see if they could find answers as to how to bring Aqua back. I wanted to just go in and grab her and then bring her here, but that would raise to many questions and bring back all the memories that where better left forgotten by these guys.

Then Sid gave everyone new vestments to wear. Mine I instantly felt the Viridian magic come from it, So I quickly went off to change my clothes. Once I had changed I have to tell you, I looked really amazing. The clothes themselves where interwoven with mythril but still pertained to my style. Blue turquoise long sleeved T-shirt, Black slacks, two leather belts, a black cotton sports vest, and last but not least an elfin cloak disguised as a pale blue scarf.  When I finished Sora was still getting changed in another room. Riku on the other hand when he glanced my way turned beet red. "Wow. You look amazing" Riku stuttered out
