Chapter 2: A Path To Follow?

{Okay, I'm going to drop the last 10 chapters of another story and then I'm done for tonight. ENJOY!}

        A gentle theme begins to play as Mila is shown drifting in darkness. Her eyes were closed as her blue and pink hair seemed to move as if blown by wind. She floated as if in an endless sleep. "Whispers of who I was, who I'm meant to be." Riku is shown standing on Destiny Islands staring up at the sky as he was surrounded by his friends. "They're constantly... echoing!" Riku's silver hair is blown in the wind as he closes his sea-green eyes. "And beckoning!" Flashes of Riku's younger form wandering the world of darkness is shown. "Cast my home aside, lead me into the sky!" Mila is shown as she appears in flashes before Aqua's guiding light is shown. "Just realize what our destiny holds!" Riku is shown standing below Aqua's light as he searches the darkness for Mila. "Our stories untold! Just waiting to rise!" Mila is shown with her eyes open as tears streamed down her cheeks. The music fades to silence as Mila is shown grabbing her head as memories are shown. "Guided blindly by shadows within the dark!" Mila lets out a silent scream as she's shown being engulfed by darkness as she sinks into it. "Is this what's become of me? An enemy?" Riku is shown in his form as Evil Ansem before he's shown with the cloth over his face. "Cast my sight away, lead me into the night! Can't fight away what has taken control! Of all that I know! And stolen my light!" Riku is shown in his current form shaking away the memories of when he was in his weakest as he places his hand on his chest. A light resonates under his hand and becomes brighter. "With this burden I bear, I'm alone! There's so many mistakes to atone! You deserve so much better than this broken soul!" Riku and Mickey are shown running around the Realm of Darkness searching for Mila. "I must fight this battle on my own! But I will prove to you how I have grown!" Riku is shown arriving at the location the girl is and finds her floating surrounded by a vortex of darkness. The music once more goes silent as Riku rushes forward with his keyblade drawn. A horde of heartless surrounds Mila and Riku fights them off. "Cast the past into the darkness that still lies! To be with you, I will do what I must!" Riku is shown reaching for Mila as he'd jumped up towards her. "I'll hold tight your trust! I'll be by your side!" Riku is shown grabbing onto Mila and ended up holding her bridal style. "Don't be afraid, what was lost can be found! Hear what I say, don't let go of my hand!" Riku is shown taking her hand as the two appear on the Destiny Island beach. "Our futures unplanned! Our destinies bound!" Mila is shown opening her eyes before Riku and she are shown staring into each other's eyes.

Riku wonders more about the mysterious girl. He spots Namine and Kairi talking with Axel's girlfriend and female childhood friend, Hana. Hana was Kairi's big sister by adoption. She was everyone's big sister by adoption really.

"Hana." Riku says and Hana turns to look at him.

"Hey Riku." Hana says.

"I have a question. Can I talk to you?" Riku asks.

"Sure, what's up?" Hana asks.

"A while ago, you spoke to me about a girl but... I can't remember anything else about her." Riku says and Hana's eyes widen.

"Mila is calling out to you?" Hana asks.

"Who's Mila?" Riku asks and Hana's eyes widen. She takes a deep breath and looks up at the sky.

"So that's what happened. Why would you trade places with me knowing that everyone would forget about you?" Hana asks.

"Hmm?" Riku asks.

"Mila is a Princess like me. She used to live in Radiant Garden with me, Axel and Isa. She... fell further into the darkness six months ago saving me." Hana says.
