Of Hearts and Pyreflies

Hmm… where to start… what would Tidus do? I guess he would tell you about his story. Maybe I'll do the same. I'll go back to the beginning so listen carefully. This…is my story, and it all started with a single dream.

Sora's POV

Voice: Sora…help us.

Sora: W-Who's there?

Voice: My name, is Bahamut. I am from a world called Spira.

Sora: Spira?

Bahamut: Yes. Sora, Spira is a far away land, similar to the worlds you have visited yet not entirely the same. This world needs you, it needs the power of the key who connects everything. You see, the balance is this world is on the brink of being lost, and if its balance is lost, then it shall affect your world, and every other world as well.

Sora: What!? How can I get there?

Bahamut: When the time is right, we shall summon you there. Worry not. Until then, live life as you normally would, but know that when we next meet, your journey begins. Now, awaken chosen wielder of the keyblade!

I awaken to the shine of the sun's light staring me in the face. The dream I just had still fresh in my mind, now pondering if I should be concerned or not. With these thoughts in my head, I freshen up and get changed into my travel garb from the journey Donald, Goofy and I made to seek out and put an end to Organization XIII's plans.

Sora: It's been… a whole year now, since we defeated Xemnas and finally rid the worlds of the Organization, a year since I have had to wear these clothes. I… I wonder if Riku got a similar dream.

Since Xemnas' defeat, things have settled down. I haven't needed to summon the keyblade since and neither has Riku. We have been living like normal teen boys for the first time in two years. Although you wouldn't believe it, I have matured quite a bit. I am more serious now then I was during my journeys, but I guess that comes with age. However, my desire to help those in need hasn't left me.

Our childhood friend, Tidus, also moved away to some bigshot city called Zanarkand. Apparently he got a Blitzball Scholarship and they wanted him to join their team, which is supposed to be the greatest in all the worlds. As for Wakka, well I'm not sure were he went, someone mentioned him returning to his original home to help a friend, but that's just a rumor as far as everyone is concerned.

I walk out onto my front porch and see Riku across the street leaving his home .

Sora: Riku! Wait up!

Riku: Oh hi there sleepyhead .

Sora: Ha Ha very funny. Riku, I need to talk to you about something.

Riku: Well I'm going to the island, so I guess we can discuss it on the way.

Later at the island

Sora's POV

Sora: So what do you think it means?

Riku: Well I can't say for sure but I don't think that there's anything to worry about.

Sora: What do you mean?

Riku: Well it's only a dream, You probably miss our old adventures and want to relive them, and this dream is a way of your mind telling you that.

Sora: Yea…yea I guess you're right .

I turn to see a small boy in a purple hood at the entrance to the secret place. His gaze meets mine and I immediately recognize him from my dream. This must be the same person. Realization running through my mind I speak up

Sora: Riku that's him!!!

Riku: What!?

We start running and I think that just maybe following the boy will hopefully lead me to some answers.

As we make our way into the cave, we scan the area there seems to be no sight of him.

Sora: Did we lose him?

Riku: Sora I don't see anyone anywhere.

Sora: Hmmm… well. I guess we should go then.

Riku makes for the cave exit while I follow behind him.

Voice: Sora, are you still here?

Sora: Bahamut?!

Bahamut: Yes its me.

Sora: Why did you disappear on me? What's the big idea? I want some answers!

Bahamut: I could not allow your friend to get involved. This is a journey you are going to have to make on your own. We didn't want to involve anyone else, and by asking your help, I'm already doing something I shouldn't. Spira has it's saviors, but I fear that they may not be enough. Us aeons are gambling the fate of a world, on a boy not much older than yourself.

Sora: Aeons?

Bahamut: We are what you call summons, we aid those who call us as they see fit. Those that call us are the key to saving the world of Spira, but without you, their chances of salvation are low.

Sora: Ok I get it they need my help, but how do I get there?

Bahamut: Worry not, I already have something arranged, although your journey might not be the most pleasant one.

And after that sentence is said, I am covered in a shower of bright light. My vision face and the only thing that can leave my mouth is a loud screech. Then everything goes dark.

Sora: Is this… another dream?

Bahamut: Yes Sora. I decided to tell you what you need to do during this journey to Spira.

Sora: I'm listening

Bahamut: Good. Well 1000 years ago, There was a war waged by mankind.

In this war people were using machina, or what you know as machines, to obliterate one another. Bevelle was one side and the other was Zanarkand.

Sora: I know about Zanarkand! My childhood friend, Tidus moved there!

Bahamut: Ah Tidus, Sora, Tidus is one of the people you are going to meet in Spira. Tidus never went to the real Zanarkand. He lived in a dream of it. You see, the real one lost this great war, and was obliterated by a powerful force, and to preserve the memory of this city, we kept it alive, if only as a dream.

Sora: Ok but what is my job? I still don't get what you need me to help with.

Bahamut: Us fayth have been dreaming for so long. Please, help Tidus end our dreaming. Defeat the creature known as Sin, and break the cycle of death and destruction.

Bahamut only wanted to rest from his dreams, at least that's what I understood. As he uttered the last word, my senses started returning to me

Sora: Wait, how do I do that!!!

Bahamut merely fades away, a smile of satisfaction on his face. I begin to come to, and I feel cold.

Man's Voice: You okay ya?

Sora: ugh, my head…

Man's voice: There's sumtin about you. I feel like I know you.

Sora: I would know that voice anywhere…Wakka?

I jump to my feet in happiness

Sora: Wakka!!! I can't believe it's really you! Where have you been? Where am I? Is there anyone else here? And…

Wakka: Woah hold your chocobos eh Sora? One question at a time ya? I've been here, welcome to Besaid Brudda, plenty o people on this island. You hungry?

Sora: No thanks

As if to argue my stomach growls

Wakka: Someone else says otherwise, I have to practice for Blitzball you think you could follow the path to the village? It's pretty straightforward. Oh and there are fiends along the road so be careful ya?

Sora: Thanks Wakka!

I follow the path and as Wakka said, it was simple to follow. I stopped when I heard rustling in the bushes.

Sora: Who's there?

Out of the bushes jumped three wolf looking creatures. Each one looking half starved and salivating at the sight of me.

I summoned the keyblade as one lunged at me, barely blocking the fangs of the beast.

Sora: Someone's feisty.

3 Shadows creep up beside the wolves.

Sora: Heartless too?

One shadow leaps at me, its claws aiming for my chest, but in one swing of the Kingdom Key it is no more. One of the wolves charges, I double back and brace for the impact. As it meets my blade I force back to the other 2 with a powerful swing. The one I sent back fades into lights.

Sora: Enough, Thunder!!!

Lightning bolts summoned by the spell dance around my enemies, ending their existence.

Sora: That was close. Hey what's that?

I pick up gold coins remaining from the battle.

Sora: Maybe this is their kind of munny?

I place the coins in my pocket, and continue toward the village.

As I arrive an aroma fills my nostrils. I follow it to a tent and purchase a meal with the coins I had.

Later

Sora: Wow, that was great. Hmm I wonder where Wakka could be?

I exit the tent and see Wakka performing some sort of gesture to a tall, blonde guy with an athletic outfit. I recognize him and nearly shout

Sora: Tidus!!!

Tidus: Huh, um who are you

Sora: Don't you recognize me, Its Sora.

Tidus: Sora? No way!!! How ya been?

Sora: I've been fine, but I never thought I would see you again.

Tidus: All the time in Zanarkand couldn't make me forget you.

He flashes a quick thumbs up at me.

Sora: You…really grew man.

Wakka: Well look at that. You already found someone you know.

Sora: So Tidus, how long have you been here.

Tidus: Well about 15 minutes. I washed up on the shore.

Sora: What happened?

Tidus: I got attacked by this huge monster.

Wakka: Calm down ya? Sin's Toxin might get to you.

I didn't know it then, but this chance meeting would be the start of the journey of a lifetime.

Author's Note:

Hi guys, this is my first shot at a fic so I know it probably isn't the greatest thing ever, but criticism and pointers will be greatly appreciated. Once I get a few reviews and a general idea of what to do with the story I'll update
