Riku's Ambition

This story is about Riku from KH. He's dark, shady, cool-looking, and strong apart from Sora. But overall in his life he chose the wrong path...

   

Riku~

My whole life I've been in longing

To set sail with my friends on an exploration

But when I saw the darkness coming

With all my hard work and dedication

Something in me began to tense... with excitement

Embracing the darkness and watched as it lifted me higher

This was something friendship could never do, except bring lament

Sora has been too naive, becoming ever so spryer

The clown could never recognize the difference between us

Even before we battled together he didn't have a weapon

Yet the light in him never made a fuss

As he stood there, not giving in to the dark, and beckon...

So that it may consume the core of his being

He didn't know what he was missing, the feeling

Of having superiority over any and every thing

And therefore, being endowed with the color of these dark wings

But he didn't budge, his heart growing along

Saying through his friends, they were his power

I had known in my heart that this is where I belonged

Foolish me, contemplating if having friends would bring me lower

I wish I would've never caused my comrades this pain

The guilt could bite me in the end when I'm sane

This road I stroll, is dark and foreboding 

Seeking a place where I can rest my feet

Walking this path alone... could've destroyed myself

But in spite of all my wrongdoings Sora saw good in me

He sought for my whereabouts after I left

Yet, we never had the compatibility

His motives is pure as holy water

If I battled him now, there would be different aftermaths

I hold darkness in one hand while Sora holds the other

My past is stained with sorrow and bottomless pit of wrath

So how can I go back to the islands with them

When the dark sensations pulsate in my conscience

Kairi's beautiful radiance barely gave me chills

Felt like fading away and becoming nonexistent

Even if I tried

Sora, the knucklehead wouldn't let me disappear suddenly

So I'm stuck between two friends of light 

I refuse to live in the shade of their greatness, you'll see

Sitting here now... thinking of what path to follow that's right

Waiting for an answer that would surely come

The path I'm sauntering will be the road to dawn

Where darkness barely cracks through the numb

Now when my friends' fight, I'm pushing back as well with my brawn

In comparison with the realm of light, I've been on the other side far too long

I just realized you're really good at choosing words and rhythm.. I read all your story (abou KH's characters) again n again..

And how you describe Riku
"So I'm stuck between two friends of light"

Like it ^^

[Ravyne Hawke]

Excellent description of Riku. You've made him real by giving him a struggle, even though he chose darkness, he still struggles between the dark and the light. He also struggles between going it alone or with his friends. Excellent wording and rhythm.
