Prologue 1: The Wandering Pair

As the sky gives off a violet hue, rising from the horizon is a pillar surrounded by a several halos of multiple sizes. Taking in the landscape is a tall figure wearing a white coat and hood covering their entire body. The figure stands looking at the sight before it. "To think…" the figure spoke with a masculine voice, "that it would come to this. And here I thought…"

"Master Atef," a young man's voice speaks out. The figure turns around. Inside a small rock shelter; a pair of blue eyes can be seen within the shadows. "Now I'm wondering if we did the right thing? Also, are you certain that its safe for us here?"

"There is no need to worry, my little friend," Atef speaks before turning back to the tower upon the horizon. "The concealment spell I placed shall protect us for a few days. That should be enough time."

"I don't understand, why don't we leave? Unless, there's something for us to do here."

"No, nothing of the sort this time. We should simply wait and then depart."

"Again, why do we need to wait?" the figure in the shadow speaks with a tilt its head; indicated by the slight rotation of the eyes.

"Simple." The cloaked man looks to the sky. "The road ahead has yet to be paved."

Prologue 2: Visitor From Another World

The sun shines bright on a bustling city. On one of its streets, a young woman walks on the sidewalk. She has blonde hair with two curled ponytails on her sides, shaped liked drills. She mainly is wearing a white, collared dress shirt with a long, brown skirt; patterned with yellow flowers. She wears a pair of black stockings that go up to her knees along a pair of black ballet flat shoes. A brown purse hangs off of her right shoulder, her right hand cradling it. She slows down her pace as she moves closer to a building to her right. A colorful sign, hanging from a pole jutting out of the building above the door, states "MAGICAL PASTRIES." The woman takes a key from her purse before inserting it into the keyhole on the doorknob.

She enters a café, a bell ringing due to the opening of the door. There is little light due to the blinds on the windows facing towards the street are down. She flips a few switches on the wall next to the door, brightening the restaurant. She immediately presses a few buttons on a security box above the lights; disengaging the system. She turns around to face the main counter on the other side of the room. She takes a few steps forward before stopping as she spots something to her left with curious hum. Between two rows of tables is a small figure. She slowly walks towards it. She soon takes in the details, the figure wears a blue jacket with silver linings and blue pants that also has silver linings along with a pair of blue and black shoes with white soles. The being is laying on the floor on its stomach. What catches her attention is a big ball of black fluff protruding from the back of the figure's pants. The figure groans as it slowly sits up. At this point, the woman notices the being has two long, black ears.

"Pardon me," she says, catching the figure's attention. "Who…are you?" the being turns its head around towards its left…

Prologue 3: Nightmare From The Past

Darkness is all that one can see. Not a single trace of light. In the middle of this empty void is a girl. Her appearance would make one assume she is around fifteen years old. She has white, long, wavy hair with a dark brown ribbon tied around her head. She wears orange clothes with white fur at the edges. She looks around, eyes slowly scanning her surrounds. Her mouth is slightly open as she whimpers. She hears something shifting behind her causing her to make a small squeak. She turns around only to find nothing.

She hears it again. She turns back around, again nothing is there. Her heart is pounding. Her mind trying to rationalize what is going on. She holds her breath with clenched teeth. Finally she felt something breathing on her neck. She turns are around. Her pupils shrink as her eyes and mouth widens; gasping every three seconds. In front of her is a giant white, cloud-shaped face. The pupils of its eyes are red on the outside ring, yellow in the middle, and a bright blue with a black dot in the middle. Yellow circles mark where the creature's cheeks would be and a yellow cone sprouting from the middle of the face with the point ending with a red ball of fluff. Its wide, open smile, mouth filled with sharp fangs, gives it the image of a deranged clown.

The girl is petrified with fear. She wants to run but her body wouldn't obey. The face opens its mouth wide open. Her eyes stare at the pure darkness between the teeth. Soon it was the only thing she could she before her ears register the sound of the monster's teeth snapping shut.

The girl springs out of the covers of her bed. Her breathing hard, her face covered in cold sweat. She is able to get a hold of herself after a minute before shivering as she hugs herself. "Not again…" she whispers. "Why do I keep having that nightmare?" she whimpers. Seconds later, see finally recognizes her room is filled with the warm glow from the twilight sun outside. She looks to the window on her left, trying to figure out what time of day it is. On her neck is a thin black chain. Dangling from that chain is an orange, egg-shaped gem with an outer golden ring. The gem glistens from reflecting the sunlight.

CHAPTER 1: READY FOR A NEW ADVENTURE

*MICKEY MOUSE CLUB MARCH*

The sky is blue with several white clouds decorating the peaceful scene. The sky makes the castle below it shine. The exterior appears warped in different directions. The walls are generally stone white. Each of the rooftops are blue cones with yellow flags waving with the wind proudly. In one of its halls, an anthropomorphic, white duck, wearing a blue wizard's hat and coat walks forward on the red carpet that covers the entire floor with gold trimmings at where the floor meets the walls. If he were to look to his left, he would see the grand garden of the castle. The castle garden is donned with multiple bushes and green, plant statues of different anthropomorphic animals playing different instruments. In the center of the garden is a castle-like structure that also appears to be made from a large bush. To his right, are two large doors that seem to stretch to the ceiling; about the height of a giant. The doors are violet with a head symbol composed of three circles in a darker shade on the fourth panels on both doors from the bottom. He continues to walk forward; where a pair of brown, wooden doors, also sporting the same symbol, awaits him at the end of the corridor.

On the other side of those doors is an office. A brown desk on the left with a small house on it next to a quill pen in a jar of ink. On the wall behind it are rows of shelves filled with books. To the right is a gold, crafted fireplace that also appears warped. The back of the room is lined with more shelves filled with books, again the exterior of the wall looks warped. In front of that is a small, black mouse, about the same size as the duck, wearing a pink dress, a gold tiara with the red castle symbol in the middle. The opening of the door catches her attention. She turns around to find the duck, who is the castle's magician.

The duck salutes with his right hand, "I'm back, Queen Minnie."

The mouse smiles, "Oh, welcome back Donald. How was your vacation with Daisy?"

Donald lowers his arm. "It was great," the magician responds, "me and Daisy had a wonderful time together". He looks around the room; looking for someone else. "Where's the King?"

"Oh, he left a few days ago. He received a letter and immediately left."

"Who was it from?" Donald asked.

"It came from an old friend," a new voice called out. The two turns towards the desk. On it is a small cricket with a blue top hat with a yellow band, a black suit over a red shirt and wearing white gloves along with yellow and black shoes. He is the royal chronicler, Jiminy Cricket. "If I recall correctly, I believe it came from Oswald."

"What is written on it?" the Duck said curiously.

"Well-" Jiminy starts before being interrupted by the doors suddenly opening.

"Queen Minnie! Queen Minnie!" a squeaky voice called out.

"We got an emergency!" another squeaky voice yells out. Everyone turned towards the doors, finding two chipmunks in yellow clothes scurrying towards them. They stopped in front of Donald; jumping up and down as if there's no tomorrow. They are the Gummi ship engineers, Chip and Dale.

"White monsters started to show up all over town!" Chip cries out.

"And they're right at the front gate!" Dale continued.

"Goofy is already there, but I don't how long he can hold them off!"

Minnie brings a hand to her mouth. "Oh, dear. Donald can you…" Minnie starts to ask but is cut off by Donald's quick reply after the wizard turns around.

"Don't worry. I'll help Goofy out right away!" he exclaims with a salute before immediately running to the doors.

*UP DOWN ADVENTURE*

Goofy, the captain of the kingdom's knights, has his iconic blue shield in front of him, emblazoned with the symbol of their kingdom, looking left and right with the castle gate behind him. The gate itself seems out of place due to the vibrant colors the nearby houses in the plaza. In the center of the plaza is a large gazebo. Between Goofy and the gazebo are the monsters that are invading the kingdom.

The monsters appear to look like ghosts with no legs; they float just about a few feet from the ground. Their 'faces' are composed with a strange symbol. The symbol has several heart references with two eyes. If one were to guess the symbol the emblem is closest to, it would be a question mark. They have two arms that both end with a point.

Goofy brings his shield arm back before flinging his shield like a Frisbee. The shield hits the monsters in the front row; staggering them. The shield returns to its owner before another one of the monsters quickly rushes up to him. The knight spun around once, his shield knocking back the monster. Though his face is one of curiosity, he is serious of his job.

The monster he struck regains its composure before getting hit by a fireball. The monster disappears in a puff of white smoke. Goofy looked back, to find Donald, with his wand in his right hand, running to the knight's side. "Thanks, Donald."

"Don't thank me yet, we need to stop these things!"

"Right," said the captain as he looks back at the creatures.

One of the monsters gets close before quickly thrusting its arms. Goofy blocks the attack, causing the creature to recoil. Donald fires a shard of ice from his staff, eliminating the attacking creature and hurting the monsters behind it. Goofy twists his body halfway before he spins slightly off the ground, ramming into the monsters. Goofy stops spinning after moving back to Donald's side. The duck raises his staff; a spark emanating from it. Bolts of lightning descend on the monsters, eliminating them. After a few seconds they both give a sigh of relief.

Wisps of white smoke appear out of nowhere in front of them before gathering into one. At that instance another one of the monsters appears. Seven more appear behind it. "Time to get serious!" Donald proclaims before winding up his wand arm. The moment he raises the staff, a single bolt of lightning hits one of them, and the electric shock spreads to the entire horde eliminating them.

Donald gives off a questionable quack. Goofy noticed the wizard's response to the spell. "Was that you Donald?" Goofy asked after looking at his feathery friend.

"Not me," the magician replies with a shake of his head.

"It was me," a new voice called out. The duo looked forward to find a familiar face. He is about Goofy's height, has brown spiky hair going in different directions. He wears a black trench coat with short sleeves over a red, long-sleeved shirt. He sports a pair of black shoes and black pants. In his right hand is a giant key; it has a yellow-golden hand guard, with a silver shaft that ends with the teeth shaped like the outline of a crown. Around his neck is a silver chain with a unique crown symbol on it.

"Sora!" the duo cried out in joy at the same time, recognizing the Keyblade Master.

The young man's blue eyes brighten up along with his trademark smile before walking up to the two, dismissing his weapon, the Keyblade. But he stopped for a moment before being tackled to the ground by his traveling buddies from his earlier journeys. After a few seconds they get off him, giving him room to stand up. The man sighs but still keeps his smile. "Do you have to do that every time we see each other?"

"Sorry about that," Goofy said. "It's just been awhile."

"Come on, it's not been that long, I was here for the Dream Festival a month ago, remember?"

Donald gives off a sheepish laugh. Goofy proceeds to ask, "So what brings you out here?"

"Well, I thought I just visit you guys. But as soon as I got here, those things were already wrecking the town," He places his hands behind his head, "so I've been beating them up until I got here. I think that group I just took down was the last of them."

As if on cue, more of those monsters appear behind Sora. Sora immediately senses them before turning around, holding the Keyblade behind him with one hand and his empty hand extended, the palm facing towards the enemy, in a crouched position; his left leg is bent forward while his right foot is behind him. At the same time Donald and Goofy raise up their respective weapons, "What was that thought?" Donald asks sarcastically.

Sora leaps forward, knocking down several of them with his Keyblade and is now positioned in the middle of the group. Donald casts a protective Aero spell on Sora as Goofy tosses his shield at the enemies, damaging them. Before the shield returns to the knight, one of the creatures performs a backflip in attempt to 'kick' the Keyblade Master. Sora blocks it with his Keyblade after a swift turn of his footing. He blocks another attack from a different opponent that's nearly behind him. Sora grabs his Keyblade with both hands; the weapon pointing to his right. He spins around; amplifying the Aero spell surrounding into a vortex of blades that eliminates the rest of them.

Donald and Goofy walk up to Sora, who turns around to meet their faces; dismissing his Keyblade. "Just like old times, huh," said Sora as he put his hands behind his head.

"You said it!" Donald exclaims with a pump fist in the air.

"I hope that's the last of them," Goofy hopefully says. Immediately their attention is drawn to the barking of a dog. The three turn to the castle gate. Running up to them is Pluto, the King's faithful dog. He looks at them while standing in a guard-like position.

"What's wrong, Pluto?" Donald asks. Pluto in response chase his tail in a circle for a few times before running back up to the gate. He immediately turns around and bark several more times.

Sora looks up at the gate with a serious look. "Something's happening at the castle," he concludes.

"Then what are we waiting for?!" Donald yells out, "Let's go!" The trio rushes to the gate.

Ten minutes later, the trio are walking down the corridor that leads to the King's office with the Keyblade Master behind the castle residents. Just as they got in front of the doors of the throne room, Sora suddenly stops. Before looking to his left, staring at the garden. The other two turn around. "What's wrong, Sora?" Goofy asks.

Sora does not respond, his eyes focused on the garden. He slightly lowers his head, his eyes not moving from the garden. Sora runs forward. He puts a hand on the rail before leaping over it and landing inside the garden. Donald and Goofy look at each other before running towards the railing as well. Goofy jumps over the rail, while Donald jumps to grab it, and hangs there for a few seconds as he pulls himself over it, his feet waddling in the air. He manages to flip over the railing, only to land on his bottom. After shaking his head, he jumps back up before running for a few yards and stops at Sora's left, while Goofy is on the young man's right.

*STRUGGLE AWAY*

Seconds, later Sora snaps his head upwards, "Here it comes!" Large wisps of white smoke appear just as the trio takes out their weapons. They converge into a single large cloud that practically covers the entire garden in its shadow. The cloud disperses revealing a gigantic creature. It has four large legs; connected to a large central body via ball-like joints. The central body is about ten yards above the castle-like bush in the center of the garden. It is mainly a white-gray, with white symbols adorning the legs. On the bottom half of the central body, is the same emblem the monsters in town are marked with. Above it is a large glowing, sphere with white wisps seeping from it. Surrounding the sphere are two giant drama masks; one representing laughter, the other tragedy. The masks circle around the sphere. The monster's size takes up the entire garden.

Wisps of smoke pop out of the sphere and drop at about a yard in front of the castle's defenders. Just as they hit the ground, they immediately turn into the same ghost-like creatures that appeared in town. The large monster moves its large legs around in a counter-clockwise route, creating shockwaves each time a leg hits the ground.

Sora immediately rushes in; cutting through the summoned monsters. He casts a Fire spell around him; burning through the monsters. Donald launches a fireball at the group. Sora jumps out of the group and the fireball explodes; eliminating the monsters. Goofy warns the two that one of the legs is coming at them. The trio scatters before the leg impacts. Unfortunately, Donald gets hit by the shockwave, sending him to a wall. Sora immediately casts a Cure spell on the wizard, who jumps back up and scowls at the giant monster.

Before the leg can move again, Donald summons a line of ten lightning bolts; piercing through the leg. Goofy spins in the air, hitting the leg multiple times. Sora casts several Blizzard-spells on the same leg before running up to it. The leg hits the ground again, this time Goofy gets hit by the shockwave. Sora jumps over the shockwave before air sliding into the leg. He follows up with a spinning attack, several more slashes and ends the combo with his signature Aerial Finish: an upward strike followed by a horizontal slash and ends with a vertical finish; creating glowing disc-like trails with each strike.

The giant monster stops moving before slumping towards its wounded leg. Sora jumps around on the nearby flora couple times before landing on the leg; now acting as a narrow platform that leads to the sphere and the masks slowly spinning around it. Sora rushes to the sphere, believing it's the monster's weak spot. After Sora reaches the halfway point, both masks stop; the happy mask staring at Sora. The space in the eye sockets glows bright quickly before firing two energy spheres. Sora continues his charge. Before the spheres hit their mark, the Keyblade Master slashes through them; dispelling the spheres. Sora continues his stride and arrives at the mask in two seconds. He jumps at the mask before dealing ten swift blows from his Keyblade. He lands before twirling his Keyblade and make a jumping, vertical cut at the mask. A carved, straight, vertical line appears directly in the middle of the mask, slowly splitting the object into two, before it completely crumbles. The remnants of the mask soon vanish into the air. Sora lands back on the garden just as the monster is able to stand on all of its feet.

The sphere glows bright as the remaining mask moves around faster. White fireballs disperse from the core. Donald and Goofy dodge as much to their ability; leaving them in awkward positions. Sora is jumping all over the garden. Several of the fireballs manage to hit him; but only for him to simply flinch. After the monster stops its assault, it launched more wisps of light. The wisps touch the ground and turn into the smaller ghost-like creatures. Their number however, is large. In fact, there is an entire army of them inside the garden. Sora tightens the grip of his Keyblade as Donald and Goofy run to his side.

Sora cannot help but let out a chuckle, "What do they think they are, Heartless?" The captain and wizard respond with determined smiles. They also feel a sense of familiarity; completely surrounded by enemies where their numbers seem endless. "Go!" Sora yells out several seconds later and the trio charge in different directions.

Five minutes later, Sora is up against five of the monsters. In the meantime, both Donald and Goofy are focusing their efforts on one of the giant's legs. Sora takes a step back bringing back his Keyblade as he slightly crouches forward. If one were to feel the tension that Sora is giving off, they would think of him as an experienced samurai, ready to draw his blade from its sheath. A moment later, Sora appears on the other side of the monsters; his Keyblade extended to the air in front of him. A second later, the monsters disperse into wisps. Sora looks at his friends. The captain of the knights performs Goofy Tornado; hitting the leg consecutively for several seconds. He quickly backs off before Donald casts Triple Pursuit; three ice shards that home onto the leg before zigzagging all over it; piercing it multiple times.

The monster slumps on the damaged leg. Sora rushes towards it. Again, Sora uses the nearby bushes to propel him towards the top of the leg and begins his charge after landing. The lone, sad mask looks directly at him. Both of its eyes and mouth glow. The hollowed areas soon fired three lasers. Just as the lasers about to hit their mark, the Keyblade Master slides forward with his legs in front. The laser is just inches away from his face as it bursts forward. After the lasers stopped, Sora springs himself up before jumping at the mask. Just like the previous mask, ten swift blows before dealing a vertical finishing strike. Just as its opposite, the mask shatters.

After Sora lands on the ground, the monster jumps up high. In the air it flips 180 degrees; the core is now facing towards the ground. The monster's legs also flip around, allowing it to land on the garden. The sphere glows before firing tens of lasers, their trajectories constantly moving. Donald and Goofy take shelter behind different plant statues. Meanwhile, the Keyblade Master raises a hand to cast a Reflectga; a light-based barrier spell. After fifteen seconds, the lasers stop.

Sora immediately raises his Keyblade. The barrier glows before being absorbed into the Keyblade. The Keyblade glows with a white, wispy aura. Sora positions his Keyblade behind him before slashing upwards. A vertical streak of light is unleashed from the slash (Reflectga Slash). The attack hits the sphere, causing the monster to jerk upwards before slumping completely to the side.

Sora calls out to Donald and Goofy before rushing quickly to the core, which is next to the castle-like bush in the center of the garden. Seconds later, all three are under the core. They raise their weapons towards the others' in the air. A glowing sphere with streaks surrounding it appears above the point where their weapons meet. The streaks flow faster and faster as the sphere glows brighter. The sphere flashes before disappearing and sparks are emanating from the monster's core, which immediately stands up on all fours. The monster stumbles around for five seconds before the core bursts. The monster makes one final jerk at that moment before slumping to the ground. Its body is now covered by white wisps before vanishing into thin air. The wisps stayed for a few more seconds before they dissipate as well. The trio lowered their weapons; smiling at each other. "Just like old times," Sora commented with the smile still on his face.

Minutes later, Queen Minnie enters the garden and is approaching the three friends. The three recognize her before saluting. "Donald, Goofy," she started out with a sincere voice, "Once again you have served us well." She looks up at Sora, "Of course, we are even more thankful that you arrived Master Sora."

Sora chuckles a bit before relaxing his stance and scratching his cheek. "Please, just call me Sora. Just because I'm a Keyblade Master doesn't mean you have to be so formal with me. After all, we're all friends right."

The Queen giggles in response, "I suppose you're right. By the way, you wouldn't happen to know those monsters, would you?"

"Sorry, this was the first time I fought them myself." The Keyblade Master crosses his arms, "And if you ask me, this is only the beginning." Something then dawned on Sora, "Say, is Mickey here by any chance?"

"Unfortunately, he's not here."

"I see," Sora said with a hand under his chin. "If he was here, then the situation wouldn't been so bad."

"You know there could be a connection," Jiminy says from the balcony in the main hallway. He hops down from the balcony. Ten seconds later he hops up to where everyone is at.

"Connection?"

Jiminy nods his head before taking out a journal. He presents it to the Keyblade Master. Not to strain his eyes on the small text, he uses a magic that one of his mentors in magic taught him only a couple years ago. He makes the journal the size of an average sized book. Jiminy tells Sora to turn to the page he marked. After finding the marked page, Sora read its contents as Jiminy explains his theory, "As soon as the King read this, he immediately left."

"Oswald, huh? Something about an experiment? And a warning that something could go wrong…"

"It might be too soon to say but-" Jiminy says before he get interrupted by the Keyblade Master.

"I think you're on the right track. I'm also willing to bet this isn't the only world those monsters have attacked."

"So, what now?" Goofy asks, scratching his head.

"Well, I think the best place for me to start is with Yen Sid."

"That sounds like a perfect idea, Sora," said Minnie.

Sora nods before turning around. He takes a few steps before looking back at Donald and Goofy. "Well then…Donald…Goofy…" he simply says. The two look at him; waiting for what he has to say. Sora simply gives a big smile. "Ready for a new adventure?"

*SORA'S THEME*

Donald and Goofy jaws drop with a smile as they look at each other before looking at Sora. "You bet!" Donald exclaims with a fist pump.

"Just like old times! All for one and one for all!" Goofy shouts out before giving off his trademark laugh.

Donald quickly straightens up before looking back at the Queen, "Your Majesty," he says before Queen Minnie answers.

"Of course, I wish for the four of you to have a safe journey. And don't worry Donald, I'm sure Daisy would understand."

The wizard deeply bows to her, "Thanks, Queen Minnie!" He looks back to Sora.

Sora takes a look at Goofy. His eyes shift to Donald before turning to his right shoulder as Jiminy hops on. Sora uses his magic again to shift the journal to its original size before handing it back to the Royal Chronicler. "All right! Time to get on the Gummi Ship!" Donald and Goofy make affirmative comments before the three heads towards the doors of the castle-like bush in the center of the garden. Their excitement can hardly be contained; for they will travel to the worlds once more for new adventures and to stop the unknown monsters from accomplishing their goals.

Destiny Islands

As the crystal, blue sky reigns the day, the wind softly blows as the waves of the ocean washes the sandy beach on a lone island. Nothing but ocean for miles around except for a large island far in the distance. On a small islet lies a unique tree with the trunk bending towards its side; allowing one to either sit on it or lean against it as someone is now. The young man has long, silver hair, wearing a long white and yellow vest with a black trim over his fine-toned body. He sports a pair of navy jeans and black and yellow shoes. With his arms crossed, the Keyblade Master Riku, gazes onto the rolling waves with his blue eyes. "This may be a small world. But no matter how many times I come back, the waves certainly remind me of one thing." The man lets out a small contentful sigh before closing his eyes as a calm wind blows. "There is no better place than home."

For the next five minutes, he maintains his peaceful smile; enjoying the sound of the breeze in the air and the waves of the ocean. Suddenly a small gust blows, and the Keyblade Master's smile disappears as he tightens his eyes for a second before opening them up. He slowly raises his head to the sky. He first scans the airspace to the left before shifting his gaze on the sky to his right. "Huh," the man responds as his eyes widen a tad. In the sky is a small streak of light. "What's that, a shooting star?" The man continues to gaze at it for a few seconds before he drops his jaw with wide eyes. "Wait a minute. That's a…" Within the light, Riku can see a figure wrapped in it, "That's a person!" Soon, the light-wrapped figure splashes into the ocean. Riku rushes to the edge almost immediately before jumping. The sound of water splashing a second later.

After a few minutes, after the waves wash up against the beach, a figure in a soaked green garb plops onto the sand. Kneeling next to it, Riku is slightly panting with his hands slightly digging into the darkened, wet sand. He turns to his right, determining the figure to be a teenage girl wearing long, darkened, green dress shirt over a long-sleeved black shirt. "Hey, you all right?" he asks before turning her over. As soon as he did, he suddenly froze in place, his eyes slightly widened. The girl begins to stir and turns to his direction. Seconds later, Riku's eyes shoot open before jumping to his feet. He takes a step back, his expression full of disbelief. "Who-who are you?"

Oswald's Letter

Dear Mickey,

It has been a long time since we last saw each other. How have you been?

Me? Well, let's just say that I've been busy for the past five years. I'm currently investigating a strange phenomenon in a unique world. The inhabitants here have a unique presence, but they're all friendly. Actually it's their circumstances that caught my attention. My investigation shows so far that these inhabitants do not actually belong in this world. Yet they are somehow connected to it. Since then I've been researching and observing the daily routines here. Not that I wanted the role or attention, they pretty much put me in charge. I took the task in hopes of getting them to know exactly who they are.

Right now, I think I have made a breakthrough. However, the experiment I'm about to perform is very risky. But if I'm right and the experiment succeeds, then these people here will finally be able to know what they truly are. If the experiment fails, I believe it can cause a catastrophe. Though I know the risks, I just feel terrible for these people, not knowing exactly who they are and where they came from.

My friend… The true purpose of writing this letter is to warn you. Though I'm reluctant myself in performing this experiment, but I want these people to have the answers to know who they are. Not even I know what would happen. If anything goes wrong, I need you to find my reports; they detail everything that I've come to learn about them, this world, and my research. If things get out of control, I will take full responsibility for what happens.

I hope we shall see each other again.

Oswald.

P.S. Say hello to everyone at the castle for me.
