A/N: Hello, I've been lurking on FFNet for a year or two and finally decided to get back into writing again! :D Anyway, to ease myself back into writing again, I've made myself a little challenge. Firstly, I'll be using the themes from the 500 themes challenge on Livejournal. Yes, that means what you think it means: this story will have 500 chapters. However, since I haven't been writing for a while, I'm going to give myself a word limit. For every twenty-five themes, the word count will go up 100 words. So, for the first twenty-five themes, each chapter will be exactly 100 words. Starting at theme twenty-six, they'll be 200 words. The last twenty-five themes will each be 2000 words (though I may or may not do something special for the final chapter). Oh, and I won't be doing the prompts in order, by the way.
As for pairings, I haven't decided, other than my OTP Riku/Xion, and of course Sora/Kairi. There will be no yaoi or yuri in this.
This is a fantasy AU, with possibly some elements of sci-fi or steampunk in there.
His bangs blew across his face and he brushed them away as he stared out over the wasteland. From far off, a figure approached, silhouetted against the sunrise in all black, her hand grasped tightly to her hood so it wouldn't be blown off. She appeared shadowy through the darkened cloth of his blindfold.
She crossed the distance more quickly than seemed possible, though she never changed her pace. The dust billowed up around her as she walked; the sunrise bled around them.
She spoke when she reached him.
"Hello, you must be Riku. I'm Xion."
She lowered her hood.
