The KH Story 4

Finalllllllly. This had waited far too long. I happen to be in a creative mood, which means I-want-to-do-everything kind of mood. When my hands are itching to something, I just have to do it or my mind wouldn't rest! So I re-read the whole thing and I went : o.0 " I did this??" XD Time to say some stuff in Sora's viewpoint! He's a pretty balanced character, cause he's not too serious/ playful.

Chapter 4

I have no idea what is happening anymore. It's unbelievable, if you ask me, but it's the truth. What has happened? And how? Questions are running through my mind, and I can't get them off my mind. Which makes me sick, because I absolutely loathe these feelings of anxiety, confusion and panic.

I guess I should start from the beginning. The beginning of this weird adventure.

My name is Sora, if you don't know, and people always say that I'm an energetic kid. The friendly types. And my moody brother is Roxas. He's born a little earlier than me, so he likes to take charge of things around on account that he's the 'senior'.

Anyways, our parents died when we were young, so Roxas is taking care of me. I hate to admit it, but I really can't take care of myself. You know what? Roxas is like a father and a mother to me. Don't tell him that though. He'll kill me. (Well, not really, but I might get punished by having less food. And any bits of food in the house are really important, or you will go hungry.)

So, on that eventful day, my friends and I were going to have some fun around, as usual. But noo... Roxas with his intution and his 'resources of infomation' had to stop me. (I seriously don't know where he get's his information from, but if it's from Roxas, it's usually correct.) Instead, I had to go home and do my homework, which is a chore and a pain in the *ss to do.

But he asked me to go with Riku, and that's good. Riku's my childhood friend, and we're neighbours. He's really reliable, so Roxas always asks him to take care of me when he's not around. He got the prettiest hair and eyes that I've ever seen, to tell the truth. They're SILVER. (Don't tell Riku that I said his hair is pretty... he hates it a lot. I wonder why. It uses too much shampoo? XP)

Oh shoot.. I'm getting off track again. (And people wonder how I talk so much.)

So, we were heading home by the 'safest' road we could manage. (There's nowhere safe enough, according to Roxas, and I ain't going to risk my life to take a shortcut. I seriously value my life, and I don't want to be taking the shortcut to heaven too.)

And... we fell. Into a pothole. A bottomless pit. I was screaming for ages. Weirdly, no sound came out from my throat. I mean, Riku and I were falling down.... floating down... slowly with our eyes shut tight. (Riku claims that when we were falling down, he opened his eyes for a moment and he saw this weird colours all around us. I say that he's dreaming. ) Then I seemed to pass thorugh some membrane of some kind, it felt like something was halting our fall. Then when I slipped into the membrane, I passed out. I think Riku did as well.

When I opened my eyes, I was in a warm house, sleeping cozily on the sofa. The first thing I saw was a horrendous mess. I'm serious, there were papers all over the floor, used coffee mugs thrown around, and more. I have never seen such a house. Roxas would have a fit if he saw this, being the neat frea*ahem* person he is. Being in an unfamilar environment that reeked of trash and warmth, my first reaction was to scream. (You don't blame me for screaming right?.... Yes, the house that Roxas and I live together has no fireplace, and that sucks.)

So this redhead comes into the room, shouting his head off.

"Stop screaming, boy! You're making me deaf!"

"Who are you? Where am I? What is this place?? How I did get here???" I launched my fears at the redhead stranger, hoping to get some answers in this foreign place.

"Whoa, hold on, I can't answer at your questions at once!" The stranger seemed overwhelmed by my alarmed questioning as he flustered to find the answers in his head.

"First of all, I'll introduce myself. My name is Axel, and I found you two lying on the road being drenched by the rain, and being the kind-hearted person I am, I took you two into my house where it's at least warm!" He winked and continued " Ain't I nice?"

At this point of time, Riku had already woken up, and muttered something that sounded like "egoist". I figured that since he was fine, since he had that much energy. (Typical Riku for you... he's suspious of EVERYBODY. He's almost as bad as Roxas. )

After calming down by the fact that he doesn't seem to want to hurt us, I found my voice again to ask " Why were we lying on the road?"

"I dunno, kid. But I saw you falling from the sky. Maybe if you say some more, I can roughly evalute how you came here."

"Fine. But where is this place first?" I attempted to hide the sharp tone in my voice. I was having a rough time, and this wasn't the time to be playing games. Falling from the sky? What a joke. But we did fall..... And Riku isn't being helpful this time. He's too quiet.

"This place?" He drew the curtains and for the first time, we could see the outside world. It looked neither like the poor district or the rich districts. No mansions, or slums. Every house was brightly lit with warm lights.

"Welcome to the 13th district, kids."

END OF CHAPTER 4

Author's note: I was going to add more, but it'll get too long. And the ending is nice this way. Time to do other crazy stuff!! (I don't believe that you guys will read this since I neglected it so long, so I'm writing for my own sastification. And memories, of course.) To complete a story would be nice... =) And if my mother asks, I can say I'm practising English compositions. (Just kidding, compositions always want realistic, short but acceptable length stories. Mine right now are fantasy, love, long stories. ) Bye bye then~

MDD cosplay part 2

Ta da! I finished flonne. Underneath the shirt is:
cosplay part 7.1
I have no idea why I made it so nice when it's gonna be covered up anyways. But it was fun. Decided to show it here. XP
Reference:
reference flonne 02

Finished product:
cosplay part 7.2
Reference:
reference flonne 01
The colours are a bit off in this pic. Her shirt's not supposed to be pink.... nor are her shoes supposed to be green. But it's good for checking the design of the shirt.
reference flonne 03
Ya, I know I always have a whole lot of references. But it helps me see what I'm doing and if there's anything that I missed.
What you think about Flonne? (She was really fun to make, only exception was the sleeves which I had to slowly erase the background surrounding it. >-<)
The hairstyle was made using 3 different hairstyles. One for the fringe, one for the dangling hair on her shoulders and one for the long hair behind. XP Colouring the corset (what I call it) is really fun. It's too shiny now. XP
The ribbon(headpiece) is from the christmas decorations. XD
I noticed that the hairstyles in MDD are usually slanting to the left. o-0 I had to laterally invert the hair to change it to the right. XD
Alright! Flonne is done!! What shall I do next? I have some ideas but still need to check whether it's possible... and it's a secret! Bye for now!

MDD cosplay

I finished Etna!! The hand-drew stuff are the ring on the collar, and the devil tail. What ya think? Good? (I personally think the ring which I hand-drew is pretty bad) So, enough of me talking and let's show the picture:
cosplay part 8 (This is after editing the hair and the ears. After finishing Flonne, I was bored and hence did this. And don't zoom in on the eyes cause it looks terrible like that)

How is it?
Yes, I coloured the eyes red!! Gwa haha!! Oh... the skirt looks pretty crap. But still okay, I hope. The shirt took ages to get the design right. It's not all hand-drawn though. It was originally a swinsuit. XD I went through hell to find the bracelets. Other than those, the other portions was fine. I enjoyed colouring the eyes though. It was fun. All I can say now is "magic wand is my favourite tool!! "
The reference pics are here:
reference 01
reference 02

I'll probably do Flonne some other time... I'm tired and Flonne is gonna be a whole lot of trouble to do. Bye then!

Happy Birthday to me~

Happy birthday to myself!! (Sounds stupid doing this) YAY!!! MY BIRTHDAY IS HERE!! I'm finally 15 years old!! Congrats to myself!! (Lame.)
Looking forward to the card that I receive every year cause that's always funny comments in my card, written by my family members. I sure hope that the card is cute. (I'm obsessed over cuteness.)
Then, that's the matter of gift. I can't choose anything too expensive...so I'm not sure what to buy. Another soft toy? (But we got a lot of them already...) (I want a PSP, but I doubt they will buy it for me, so forget it. *sigh*) Or maybe I could be the nice, considerate person who doesn't buy a gift on her birthday.
Looking forward to the cake!! I seldom eat cake so it's a treat for me! (I don't like to eat too much cake, but occasionally it's fine) I hope that it's ice cream cake again this year....*drool* (Yes, I love ice-cream, got any problem with that?)
My tastes are pretty childish after all. Not just my taste, actually. XD Even my face is child-like. I'm always being mistaken younger than my age. (The worst instance would be when I was 11 years old and someone asked my mother if I was 7 years old. o-0 What the ........) Even now, I'm 15 but people think I'm either 13 or 14. >-<
Looking forward to the dinner!! I always love going there. (And the dessert there rocks! Now I sound like a person obessed with ice-cream, don't I? XP) But my brother isn't feeling very well....I'll wait and see. If he can't eat the food now, I'll postpone it. Cause I love eating the food there and it's sad if my brother can't share it with me. T-T Out of my whole family of five (including myself), I love my brother the most. (My most beloved brother~)
It sounds like I have been talking a lot about how good it is, but actually it's no different from a normal day when we are not celebrating. I have to do my homework (as always!) and the Saturday work chores. (Like washing my shoes. ) But it's still good. XP
Have you ever wondered about the birthday wishes? Like why only one? I want three wishes or more. (Greedy fellow!!) First would be for my exams to get good results, second for my happiness, (Enough of being selfish) lastly for the people involved in my life to achieve happiness. That includes my family, my classmates, my ex-classmates, my teachers who have realllly helped me, my friends, my neighbours, and my net pals. (You guys.) (Should I also mention that I have a neighbour on another storey who also have the same birthday as me?) I shall end this now, wishing that your days will be filled with happiness.

Added on: My brother says that we can go to the restaurant. YAY! And oh, I shall try to upload at least one chapter today. (Notice the word try) For the next few days, I will be very busy indeed, so I can't work on the stories. (WAH!) Tomorrow got my cousin wedding, then the day after that I got tution, and the next day also got tution, then my chinese exam. That's only 4 days to my exam. T-T But after that, I will be more free and more happy. (But have to start on holiday homework then. Curse them!!) Good bye then.

The KH story Chapter 3

I don't really like the fact that it has no name. Oh well. Since everyone is working hard, I shall try to put some more effort in this work. Let's see.... I don't really have a super edge-cutting image of what's gonna happen next, but hopefully good enough for you two to understand and enjoy. Here it goes...ha! Being lame---> In the previous episode, Roxas was attacked by two men (Not that sort of attack! XD ) and after his escape, he fell asleep in a forest. What will happen to our hero now? Will he ever find Sora?

Chapter 3

The sunlight shone through the gaps of the forest, illuminating part of Roxas's face. His peaceful sleeping face was disturbed when the shrieks of the birds woke him up. He half opened his eyes, expecting to see the familiar surroundings of his home, but instead saw a huge shady forest, with trees stretching around the area in all directions.

For a moment, he was stunned.

"Where am I?" he thought drowsily, as he rubbed his eyes slowly, trying to adjust to the bright sunlight streaming through the gaps in the forest canopy.

Then he remembered.

He also realised that he still had a splintering headache, coupled with dizziness. He felt really hot, as though he was on fire. He was about to return to the sea to splash some water on his burning body when he heard noises. Footsteps, with a lot of shouting.

He panicked a little and hid stealthily among the trees and grass. What he saw really left him speechless. A whole group of men was walking through the forest, apparently looking for a missing somebody. But who were they looking for?

He decided that the people were too close for his comfort, so he begun moving away slowly and stealthily, hoping that these people will not find him here. After all, he might have been trespassing on their land. And only grim futures lay ahead of those caught trespassing on forbidden lands.

Unfortunately for him, he happened to step onto a branch that broke, alerting the men and causing them to turn their heads towards the source of the noise.

"Damn," he thought to himself, as the men begun to inch their way through the vegetation to his hiding spot. It was now or never. He made a running dash away from them and felt a small sense of satisfaction as the men shouted in shock over what had happened.

And soon, the chase was on between Roxas and the group of men. As he turned back to look, he saw that his opponents were gaining on him, whereas he was breathing heavily. His body felt like it weighted a tonne, hindering his progress as he gasped for air.

"Why have I been getting chased since I got here?" Roxas observed. However, he had no time to dwell on that since he was more worried about the way his body was behaving. He felt weak, with his legs like jelly, causing him great difficulty to stand, and even more to run.

"I'm not in tip top condition today..." he thought as he ran into the city district, where it was a never ending maze of corridors and passages. He ran into one of them, reaching a dead end at the end of the road. He was, however not taunted by this and instead jumped onto the trash bin, climbing over the wall and making a perfect land.

However, this action drained him of whatever little strength that he had, and judging from the people's 'energetic' screams, he knew that this chase could last no longer. He rested and panted heavily for a few moments, drawing his weapon when he saw that the men were scaling over the wall.

His weapon was a unique one indeed. At the weapon shop, Roxas had looked around and was fascinated with a chain like weapon with a blade at the end. However, looking at the price made him change his mind immediately. He had watched in growing alarm as he viewed each of the weapon's prices, and instead taken interest in the storekeeper's to be thrown items. He had settled on a metal ring, and a broken handle from that pile, which the shopkeeper gladly gave to him. He then bought the metal wire required for his purpose. By combining all the items, he had a long manipulative string of razor-sharp wire with a strong, metallic ring dangling at the end of it. Hence, his weapon was able to attack multiple enemies, with the right control and timing.

His hands shook uncontrollably as he gripped the handle tight, prepared to attack any one that came towards him. He twisted the wire with a swing of his arm, allowing the metal wire to cut the men, drawing blood as he drew back his weapon. A few others lunged straight at him, only to be attacked straight in the chest as the metal ring smashed against them.

His fight did not last long though. He was drained of all energy, barely able to stand. The world starting spinning around, the colours blending into a mesh as his view distorted. He saw a figure, (one of those men?) about to cut him with a knife, when another person grabbed the figure's wrist, causing him to drop the knife.

Who was the fellow who had interrupted his fight? Who was the person who saved him? He only saw a flash of red as he fell to the floor, collapsing into a heap......

Seriously, what the hell is wrong this week? Did I offend someone? A god? A god of what? A rubbish dump?... First, when I was walking and minding my own business when suddenly these two kids fell from the sky. What the hell? Kids don't fall from the sky!! They were like unconscious and drenched in the rain, if I left them there I would feel guilty. I'm not a softie, it's just that they resemble some cute little abandoned kitty, okay?

Anyways, one of them was short, cute, with brown hair that was flattened due to the rain, while the other was taller, had silver hair. What can I say? So I took them home and put them by the fireplace, where it's pretty warm. Then almost immediately they woke up and started freaking out! I mean, haven't they seen such a nice house such as this before?

Then it turns out that they panicked cause they were walking and fell into a pothole. (They're pretty dangerous, you don't really see anything there but there's little holes in the ground which is hard to get out of. You should try falling in one) Okay, I sympathize with that. What then? They fell into this place which they don't know. The houses here don't look like it's from the poor district or the rich district. This place is the 13th districts, boys. It's not accessible by the public. How you got in? Why do you ask me? I guess that there's a magically weak area in the barrier that keeps the people out. In simplified terms, there's a barrier that prevents people from entering the 13th district. You guys by sheer coincidence managed to fall in the weakest spot at the correct moment so you got in.

The barrier is weak cause it's over a hundred years, you know!! The strength of spells sort of wears out over the years! It's natural! NO, you are NOT some kind of bad luck attractor!! Boy, stop crying and listen to me! And you, stop glaring at me. I'm just a kind-hearted stranger.

Sigh. Should have left them in the rain. What bothersome children. So, after the question and inquiry session, I find them some clothes for them to change into, leave them to sleep on the sofa by the fire, and I call the Organization. Report about two weird kids in my house. Requesting for permission for them to stay as temporary guests until this issue can be settled. So, I have to bring them to the court tomorrow? Yes, I got that. What?! Get them some decent clothes? You have to be kidding me!! Okay, okay, I got it, you don't have to scream. But the organisation better pay for it.

So, I take the kids out for a trip to the tailor the next morning, and there's this weird kid that jumped over the wall. A stunt actor? The people here like to do that sometimes. Then the shortie claims that that's his brother as several people clamber the wall after him. Fine, I'll go help him, boy. Just STOP SCREAMING IN MY EAR!

So it seems that the boy is also a outsider, and these minions want to eliminate him. Not surprising, since it's stated in the law that Trespassers must be eliminated. But hey! This is a special case, dudes!

Anyways, I went to stop the one attacking the boy, and the boy faints. What?! I was pretty shocked actually. Yep, I could see that the boy was in bad condition, his skin was pale, lips were dry, but still, woah! That scared me!

The people chasing him are just people from the smaller groups. That makes things a lot easier. As a proud member of the Organisation, I can just claim that the boy is in my care, and ta-da! Problem solved! They wouldn't dare to question the words of a member of the Organisation anyways. Sure, it's abusing my authority, but come on, who cares about that? It's also a way to solve the problem.

So, after I chase them off, I went back to the boy lying on the floor. I tried to wake him, but he wouldn't budge! Then, I accidentally touched his arm and it was burning hot! The little guy has a really high fever! I carried him to the tailor's shop for some emergency treatment. After all, I know the tailor well, and she wouldn't refuse someone in dire condition.

Yup, that's it. Now we just have to wait for the little guy to wake up. (and for the others to get some proper clothes) They're wearing my clothes that I grew out of, which....doesn't fit them too well.

Now, what is it? Riku, was it? What the!??! The name is not red hair stranger, the name's Axel! Got it memorised?

END OF CHAPTER 3

Author's notes: It was really fun writing this, especially the axel part. The "got it memorised" is really the game's axel. In the game, he seems to like this sentence a lot... I didn't play the game, but I saw some stuff on deviant art that shows his fondness for this sentence. It's reallly fuun!!! Riku got a bad attitude towards Axel. He's suspicious. A good thing too since Sora is too trusting of strangers. But not for Axel. He's having a bad day. Roxas: Nothing goes right for him these days... T-T Poor thing. I suppose its pretty amusing. I was sort of snickering when I wrote this. (Good children should not practise this. People will think you're scary and insane.) It's a long chapter, right? Actually, I didn't really intend for axel to go talk about the whole thing, but once I started, I couldn't stop. (I just had to write on how he saw two kids falling from the sky! o-0) Don't worry, if axel's ranting isn't good enough, next week we have Sora's viewpoint and maybe some of Riku's viewpoint? I'll relate the whole situation again. For now, adios! Sayonna!

Nothing much for me to comment about...

Yay! Finally my characters have some action instead of lying unconscious! Well, I had to spell check the whole text so that my passage would make sense. Spelling mistakes are the worst. I'm glad that English teachers would not be able to check this page out or it will be full of red circles/crosses. Grammar mistakes, wrong usage of vocabulary......

I'm feeling a lot better than yesterday. And my brain juices seem to be working. Wonderful! Oh yeah, for my stories, I tend to try to keep to the original idea as much as possible, so Riku will be using a sword in the story. And a lot of other stuff. (Boo hoo. The idea of guns was nice.) The roleplay should be quite different from my story though. Since everyone has cool weapons, cool costumes, etc. In my story, they would probably be wearing a plain T-shirt since I don't have any idea what they would wear. >-<

What should I say? Doing this is fun. I sort of accidentally-on-purpose developed both stories. The KH story I thought of a cutscene that would be fun for me to type. The children of the ruins story I finally thought of the guy's past. ^-^ Seriously, my creactive cells seem to be in good condition today! Maybe I should continue with more chapters... and then maybe not. Oh well. Have fun!!
