Kingdom Hearts fic: Fractured Moments - Day 21 - "Treasure"
Summary: The trio are asked to find a hidden treasure.
[Real life stuff imploded for a while, but I still intend to finish the prompt list. I won't be caught up by today, but I'll post them as I finish them. Some will likely be on the shorter side, like this one. I'm also doing NaNoWriMo, so finishing these may be sporadic over the next week or two. Spoilers from 2023: I did not finish the prompt list.
This one is set a little after "Wild" and sometime before "Build".]
“They want us to come to Atlantica to... look for treasure?” Riku asked, skepticism creeping through.
Kairi shrugged. “That’s what they said.”
“Did they say what kind, exactly? Because I remember what Sora told us about Ariel and her collections. It was all treasure to her, but…”
“She said pirate treasure,” Kairi elaborated.
“Pirates?” Sora had just been listening up until that point, but that caught his attention. He’d met pirates. A couple times, actually. “Like Neverland pirates, or undead cursed pirates?”
“Like Atlantica pirates, I would guess.” It looked like she was trying to hide a smile, though she failed.
“Ha ha.” He stuck his tongue out at her.
“Why do they need us to come find this alleged pirate treasure?” Riku asked. “If they know where it is, they should already have it. If they don’t know where it is, why would we have a better chance at finding it?”
“According to the message from Ariel, they think it’s in a place that neither the merfolk nor the humans can get to. You have to be able to swim to get to the cavern, but then you have to be able to go up into the non-submerged caves to find it. Her family is sick of humans coming into their waters after it and nearly drowning. Telling people not to go after it hasn’t helped, either.”
“But if someone finds the treasure, then there won’t be any reason for people to keep going after it. And I guess we fit the bill as far as being able to swim and go up on land.” Riku sighed. “Fine.”
Kairi pumped a fist in the air. “Yes!”
“You just wanted an excuse to be a mermaid,” Sora accused.
He noticed she didn’t try to deny it.
