Prologue: When Two Hearts Meet
-The Mysterious Tower
Along the small path that led to the Mysterious Tower, the base of the Great Wizard and Former Keyblade Master, Yen Sid, were two figures. They were of a young child and a middle-aged Man. The girl was of the young age of ten years old. The man was in his early to mid forties. The girl wore a simple sea blue dress with a gray shoes. Her hair and eyes were a deep shade of blue. She had a healthy, yet slightly pale complexion. She looked up to the man as She followed him towards the tower.
"Master Eraqus?" She spoke up, calling her Master's name in a tone of respect, yet child-like wonder. There was a hint of curiousity in her voice. "Why are we visiting Master Yen Sid again and Why is Terra not with us today?" The girl had been confused why her Master had brought only her today. The man looked down at her with a smile. A far off look could be seen in his eye, though the young girl could not comprehend why.
"We are visiting Master Yen Sid because he wants to catch up on recent events as of late. Young Terra couldn't join us today because he is sick. So he stayed home to become better." The man informed the girl, a smile quickly replacing the frown he had at the mention of Terra. The boy known as Terra had come down with the flu as of late. "Besides, I heard that Master Yen Sid had taken in a new student, Young Aqua."
The girl, now identified as Aqua, interest peaked at the mention of a new student. She always did wonder if there was other children, like her and Terra, who were training to become Keyblade wielders. It was her dream to become one, and eventually, a Keyblade Master, like Master Eraqus and Master Yen Sid, before her. "A new student?"
"Yes, I believe he is around your age." Master Eraqus replied as He spotted three figures standing on the steps at the base of the of the tower, waiting for them. The one standing in the middle was an elderly Man with a gray beard and hair. He wore a cone-shaped blue hat with a star like pattern on it with a matching set of robes. To his right was a black and white mouse wearing a red shorts and a black, unzipped overcoat with a hood. To his left was a young boy, that was about the same age as Aqua. He had wild, spiky brown hair, lightly tanned skin, a pair of deep blue eyes, and a bright smile upon his face. He was an inch or two shorter than Aqua. He wore a white t-shirt with a pair of black cargo shorts and a black shoes. "There they are now."
"Ah Master Eraqus, good of you to join us. As well as you too, Young Aqua. I hope your journey wasn't too strenuous. We have much to discuss after all." Spoke the elderly man with a deep voice. He gave a slight bow to Master Eraqus, who returned the bow in kind. "Allow me to introduce you both to my students. On my right here is King Mickey." He gestured to the mouse with a slight raise of his right hand before doing the same gesture with his left hand to the boy. "And on my left here is Young Sora. He has been studying under me to become a Keyblade wielder for two months now."
"It is good to see you as well, Master Yen Sid. It is also an honor to meet you again, King Mickey, and you finally as well, Young Sora." Master Eraqus spoke in a respectful manner to the three of them as He gave a bow of Respect. Aqua followed his example, yet curtsying to the three. Master Yen Sid had opened the door to the tower and ushered them inside, the door shutting behind him. Once inside, He had turned the Wizard and spoke in a stern voice. "As much as I would love to dispense with the pleasantries, the issue at hand is of rather important and we should discuss it privately, don't you agree?"
"Indeed, Let us proceed to my study. We will have all the privacy we need. Young Sora can keep Young Aqua here company for the time being. If that is alright with them." Yen Sid had looked down at the two youngsters, he and Eraqus, getting a silent nod from their respective apprentices. He, Eraqus, and King Mickey, who had remained unusually quiet during the whole conversation had headed up to his study.
The two youngsters stared nervously at each other before Aqua gave a curious glance around the main floor of the Mysterious Tower. The room was spacious and had entrances leading to different parts of the tower. Aqua was deep in wonder and awe, that she jumped up in surprise as Sora spoke up. His voice was jolly, kind and spirited.
"I'm Sora, it's nice to meet you." The boy, Sora, spoke up and happily approached her. He raised and offered his right hand for her to shake, which she did, though slightly hesitant to as she was slightly nervous without Master Eraqus by her side.
"It's nice to meet you too, Sora." Aqua replied in kind, as she should his hand before letting go. "So, uh, You're Master Yen Sid's New apprentice? What's that like?"
"Yep. It's really cool. Though Master Yen Sid is pretty strict. He's stern and powerful too." Sora smiled as he sat down on a random box against the wall. "Though he's a good teacher. His Majesty, King Mickey, also helps me out a little bit. With the two of them, I'll become an amazing Keyblade wielder in no time." He proclaimed, bumping his fist over his heart, a giant smile on his face. This caused Aqua to giggle at his confidence. He tilted his head as he noticed her giggle, causing her to smile as well.
"That's some confidence you have there. While you do have what it takes to become a keyblade wielder, you're going to need a lot more training and learning in order to summon a keyblade itself." Aqua giggled, as she spoke with an amused tone in her voice.
"Huh, Why is that?" Sora asked, curiously. His voice was curiously as to what Aqua knew about summoning a keyblade, making Aqua giggle more.
"Because, silly, for one to summon a Keyblade, one must always in synch with their own heart and soul. A Keyblade will always be a reflection of the wielder's heart and soul." Aqua explained, imitating the wise and sagely tone Master Eraqus used whenever he was explaining lessons and giving advice to her and Terra. Sora had nodded his head quickly as he soaked in the meaning of her words. The remained quiet for a few minutes before Sora spoke up again.
"So Aqua was it?" He asked as she nodded her head. He grinned again. It was even more full of happiness. "Would you like to be my friend, Aqua?" He asked her, grinning as he offered his hand to her once more. His cheerfulness was quite contagious as she grinned along with him. "I would love to be your friend, Sora!" She spoke as she took his hand in his. Little did they or anyone else knew, was that their destinies were more entwined than anyone could ever predict.
-The Unknown Thrown Room
In an Unknown Throne Room, in an Unknown Castle, situated in an Unknown Kingdom, housed a lone, single throne of pure gold, surrounded by halls and pillars of white with a blood red carpet leading to it with gold trim, sat a Man. He wore a pure long white coat, with gold trim, that hid his upper face from the world. He sat their in silence as his arms rested on each of the armrests as he slouched his posture slightly. His chin rested on his left gloved hand as he gave a Cheshire grin to no one as he spoke out loud.
"And So... The Second Great Keyblade War begins..."
