:Never Ending Story:
(New Found Glory)
They thought that coming home meant the end. It didn't take long, however, for Sora to figure out that home was only the beginning. It had seemed so simple at first. Seal some keyholes, fight some Heartless, find your friends and save several worlds in the process.
Even when it turned into a Riku-hunt that led to lost memories and found Nobodies, the path was straight, the road clear. Keep going and you'll get home someday.
And they had. He and Riku had both made it through that last battle. They walked through the door together and came home to the Destiny Islands where Kairi was waiting for them. It took a little time to get back to normal—after all, it took a bit for everyone to get over the fact that they had all somehow mysteriously forgotten about Sora completely—but it did happen eventually. After months of reunions and playing catch-up in school, things finally began to settle. Home felt like home again…
…and then the dreams began.
Sora dreamed of voices calling out to him in darkness, hearts dying, worlds fading…and always afterwards, he was left with a feeling of despair, betrayal, and accusation.
In the beginning he was content to ignore them. The dreams were just remnants of his time away, they would fade with time. But then it began stirring, pulling urgently at his heart.
The Keyblade was restless.
As the paths were opened for him and he ventured out to worlds he had only known through the eyes of his heart, he finally truly began to understand what it meant to be the Keyblade's Chosen. How could he have thought that he could command that kind of power—touch the very heart of worlds—and then just walk away after his own personal goal had been met? How much more naïve could he get? By accepting the Keyblade, he'd agreed to protect the worlds from the darkness. There were countless worlds, darkness eternal, and it wasn't until he had finally found home again that he realized:
There was no end, and home would forever be just beyond his reach.
