Sora has traveled far and wide amoung the many different worlds, and quite frankly, this was his largest adventure yet!
Preparation for the final battle with Xehanort, while still protecting the worlds from darkness. It made him really tired, so tired, in fact, that he was sleeping in the back while Riku drove to the next world.
Riku was quite a natural in handling the gummi ship, he was able to determine the correct route, and handle any heartless along the way. However...
...The engine began to freeze as they reached the next world, he tried to regain control, but it was too late.
The gummi ship had bumped into a large mountain, throwing Riku out of the ship along the way. But it woke up Sora, who had no other choice but to attempt to land the ship. It was luckily a safe landing, but...
They were in a large lake of ice.
"Riku! Where are you?!" Sora began calling to his friend as he slipped about on the ice, "Riku can take care of himself for awhile, Sora." Donald said as he and goofy examined the layout of the area.
Sora was about to say something, but they heard singing from behind them, he listened in-
Beware the Frozen Heart...
With those words sung several men rode by with their sleighs pulled by strong horses. He looked in the direction they came from to see one more person loading up his ice, his sleigh instead being pulled by a reindeer. Sora decided to run over to him, "Hey, where're you guys going?" he grinned, a little excited by this new world.
The man looked over at him, but then back at his ice block as he loaded it on, "I'm going to sell my ice at the coronation today at the castle."
A castle? A coronation? That sounded awesome! Riku would have to be there! "Can you take us there?" Sora asked with hope, the man chuckled, "I don't take people places." With that said, he hopped onto his sleigh, then began riding.
However, his sleigh was abruptly stopped as heartless appeared around it, "I got this Sven!" the man called to his reindeer, puling a pickax out to defend them with, he successfully managed to knock a few back, however, one managed to knock his makeshift weapon out of his hands and surround the two.
Sora, feeling it his duty to defend the people of this world, lept in front of him, "We've got this." he smirked, soon with ease taking down the heartless in front of him. The man shook his head in disbelief, climbing back on as he watched the last one fall, "Okay, you guys can come, but only if you guard the sleigh from those creatures."
Sora grinned, hopping on, "Deal-I'm Sora!"
"Whoa-Hey! Don't do that!" he pushed Sora off the edge of the sleigh, "What-Were you raised in a barn?"
Sora hit his head on the sleigh, ow. He sat up in it rubbing his head, "No, I was raised on an island." he chuckled as he soon was shown his designated place to sit. In which he happily did, and he, Donald, and Goofy defended the sleigh until they reached the city close to them.
"Thanks." the man said, pulling out a carrot and sharing it with his reindeer, Sven.
"Of course, we're friends now!" he grinned. The man looked at him confused, "I'm already your friend? You don't even know my name." Sora paused, this was true, but he laughed, sticking his hands behind his head, "That's why you need to tell me now."
He chuckled, "Kristoff."
