Sora smiled at him. Riku was so encouraging. "I will try." An adventure indeed. He did feel as though it was training for being King, though. That he could understand.
Riku wasn't kidding about the view. It took Sora's breath right away. He immediately saw the white tents of the soldiers in the grassy area. He could see the wildflowers climbing the valley walls outside the keep that he did not seem to notice before. The waterfall and the small glistening lake. The path they took winding out of the valley where the tops of foothills sprang up here and there. In the far, far distance not much but a speck was his home. His family.
"I have never seen such a Spring in Balamb," the Prince commented when he found his voice. There was this overwhelming sense of security he felt, looking out over his country right now. "She looks well."
