First, thank you so much Ejes for translating my prompts, you are the best !

Then, hello everyone ! With Ejes, we worked on an Advent Calendar (one for each of us) about KH and here it is, my first prompt ! I'm writing in french usually but since Ejes writes hers prompts in english, I asked her for a little help in there. I undestand english pretty well and read it too, but when it comes to write, well... So she was really helpfull, thank you so much, again !

The release of my prompt is early because I'm really busy tomorrow, due to personal stuff. So, the first prompt will be about "Beginning" (Ejes had chosen all the themes) and I hope you will enjoy it ! Ejes has her own calendar about KH (only in english) so make sure to check hers prompts too ! Let's go for this fun challenge !


"All will be fine", had promised Diz. "Naminé will gather all of Sora's memories, and he will wake up..."

Riku slowly walked into the Beast's Castle woods. His senses were perfectly sharp. He wouldn't let one of the idiots from the Organization trouble him in the middle of his mission. What was he after? Truth was, he didn't really know. The teenager came straight after his last conversation with Diz.

"However, Naminé is facing some issues. Something is blocking the restoring process… Something, or someone. As if Sora's memories were drained away."

After hearing such a thing, Riku had no other choice but to find out the truth. He had talked to the "witch", as Diz called her, and ended up in that world.

The Corridors of Darkness were pretty convenient, and easy to use as long as you had one of the Organization black coats. Riku felt so much more free than before, when darkness was possessing his body. A moment of his life he'd better forget.

A metallic cling caught his attention. He realized he was almost on the bridge, leading to the Beast's castle. Cautiously, Riku walked to the gigantic door, checking there wasn't any hidden Heartless – or worse. That's when he saw it.

It, that was a hooded figure, similar to the ones from the Organization. A member of it? Riku believed it until he saw the Keyblade the figure was holding. The Key was an important element, a potential connection to Sora. The teen's interest grew as he was watching the stranger. The Keyblade wielder wasn't really good, but still defeated the few Heartless around. There was something off with the weapon, no energy came from it. Even against mere Shadows, the wielder was struggling and screamed at every attack.

"That voice… Is it… feminine?"

What was taking away Sora's memories, could it be this… this thing? Riku couldn't regard it as a real person. In his mind, all of those who wore the coat weren't worth being regarded as somebodies. Him included. Mickey was the only exception.

He was still looking for more informations on who this mysterious wielder was. Riku couldn't know it yet, but the quest to help his best friend was merely beginning. This was where his role was starting, alongside this stranger whose name he would soon learn: Xion.
