Content notes: discussion of amnesia
Words: 1,077
Summary: Despite regaining a few memories of training under Master Xehanort, the lion’s share of Ventus’s history is still one big blank. Even so, does that mean he should just believe anyone who waltzes into his life and claims to be his friend? Some would definitely say no. But Ven is an optimist.
It wasn’t yet morning when Ven found himself wandering, strolling with no particular purpose over the bridges between islands that branched out from the main Land of Departure castle grounds. He shoved his hands in his pockets and whistled a bit. The stars in the sky were still in the process of winking out, so it would be a while yet before anyone else would rouse for the day, leaving him with nothing to do. He hadn’t exactly gotten the longest sleep the night before, so the best use of this idle time might have actually been to go right back to bed. But there was no chance of that happening. These days, when he woke, he woke for good.
He rounded a corner, over the grass and past a crumbling old stone wall, and came upon yet another clearing, a little disc of green crowning one of the ancient rocky plateaus, floating high over the unfathomable mists below. This one was special for a couple reasons. First of all, you had a straight shot to the castle doors themselves from here — he could see the windows of his home peeking out like eyes through the predawn murk. But more importantly, this was where he and his friends had left their monument to Master Eraqus. Even as he approached, he could hear the soft clink of the Wayfinders against the metal of the old Keyblade as they were buffeted in the breeze. And most precious of all, this was a place where Ven and his friends had shared some of the memories that he kept the closest to his heart.
( But for today only, there was a fourth reason this place was special. )
