In the style of the
Secret Reports, Xion will be keeping a journal for the duration of her stay in the Gardens. I'll update this periodically if I don't get lazy. If anyone wants to find her journal ICly, feel free to PM or contact me some other way.
Day 1 (December 5)
I really thought everything would be over. But today I woke up in a strange place.
The people here say this world is called the Gardens. The person who brought us here is called the Queen of Hearts, but she's not the same one from Wonderland. This must be a different world.
There are a lot of other people here from different worlds. I met some of them. One of them, a girl named Hayate, asked me to be her friend. No one's ever asked me that before. It made me really happy. There was also a woman named Death who seemed to know me. I made two friends in one day. I doubled the number of friends I have all at once.
There was also someone named Anna who taught me to wish on the stars. They're not real stars, just lights the Queen put up in the sky. They give you things if you wish on them. I wished to know if Axel and Roxas were safe, and the star gave me a box of matches and a golden key. I'm not sure I get it.
I miss them already. But even if I've gotten a second chance, I don't think I can go back. Everyone will have forgotten me by now.
Day 2 (December 6)
I did some exploring today. There are a lot of animals here, but no Heartless, or anything dangerous. I guess that's a good thing. I also tried on the new boots that I wished on a star for. They're heavy, but they're easier to balance in than my old ones. It seems like Anna really knew what she was talking about.
I found a lake after walking for a while, but it was weird. The water was red, and smelled strange. I decided not to get too close. I also tried using the corridors of darkness to see if I could leave, but the portal just opened up in another part of the Gardens. It seems like what everyone's been saying is true; we're not allowed to leave.
Still, it doesn't seem like a bad place. Just quiet. Even with a lot of people around, I still feel alone. But that's all right. This is more than I could have ever asked for.
Day 4 (December 8)
I can still use the Keyblade. But Sora's memories are gone. All I have left are my own memories of them, which is like what you see when you look into a bright light and then close your eyes. It's strange. I feel like I've lost part of myself, even if they weren't really mine to begin with.
I wonder if this is supposed to mean I should start over. But I'll never forget my friends. I just can't.
I went looking for a beach today, but there was nothing but green all around.
