This world has been connected.
Tied to the darkness…
Soon to be completely eclipsed.
Though Radiant Garden is known for its lush gardens overflowing with blossoms and greenery, it hardly receives any rainfall.
That's why when it does rain, it pours.
The final battle between Master Xehanort and the Keyblade wielders is a bitter one that spans across the worlds until it finally culminates at the one place where so many hearts came to intersect: Radiant Garden.
And just like that, two-and-a-half years of restoration work are thrown out the window as the world is ravaged by the forces of darkness once more.
Watching their world get attacked once when they were but mere children who were unable to do anything was about all that the Restoration Committee could stand the first time around.
So when the fight is literally brought to their doorstep, they do not hesitate to jump into the fray; they are not helpless children anymore.
Course, they were never supposed to become warriors fighting for the light to begin with.
A/N: I've been toying with the idea of doing a story collection for the characters of Radiant Garden for some time, though it's only now that I've had the inspiration to do it. Therefore, the chapters in this series will be a collection of oneshots focusing on the life and times of Radiant Gardens' noteworthy residents—more or less. Also there will be some chapters that jump from present to past, and back. As for the title of this collection of stories, I chose Salve because I believe that the relationships the characters share with each other act as a salve that helps them through tough times as will be seen throughout the story. That being said, it will get darker in some shots though I do have some fun ones in mind. Thanks for reading, and please feel free to leave a review.
