Kingdom Hearts III Keys Of War
Hello there readers new and old. I'd just like to say that this is the first step in my self proclaimed conquest of writing out my Kingdom Hearts series I've been dwelling upon for years. So please PM and review my works whether they be good or bad responses for i generally accept any response as some form of feedback I can work from. so without further ado here's the beginning chapter of my first story Kingdom Hearts III Keys of War..:)
Prologue: Unfortunate Beginnings
Yen Sid's Tower
"Sheesh, feels like it's been ages since I've walked these stairs."
Sora grimaced while trudging his way up the spiraling staircase to Yen Sid's Study. It had been about 3 months since he'd failed his Mark of Mastery. Hence, a majority of the key bearer's time had been spent training in the Realm of Sleep. Though with the impending threat of Xehanort's Organisation lurking in the shadows, Sora responded to Yen Sid's calling with due haste. When Sora finally reached the familiar wooden door of the study, he couldn't help but think of Kairi. His childhood crush had become a dominant thought in the last few months. For the fact she was going to be a target for Xehanort's mad scheme only strengthened his desire to protect her.
"I hope she's doing okay. I mean, I know im around the islands as much cause of all the worlds us key bearers have got to protect. Which is why I gotta sort this out and tell her…"
"Hey look its Sora!"
Sora had barely entered the study before he was tackled to the ground by a familiar duck in wizard's robes, and dog in a sweater and baggy pants.
"Donald, Goofy, hey I missed you guys too but your kind of chocking me," Sora laughed as he managed to escape the long hug with his life intact.
"Gee Sora, why were you gone for so long and didn't bother to contact us,'' Donald quaked while being restrained by Goofy.
"Hey come on Donald no need to be so grumpy when he just got back. Ain't that right Sora pal?" Goofy reassured as Donald seemingly calmed down.
"Yeah sorry about that Donald, I had to say by to my friends and slot in a bit of training is all." Sora grinned as he got up and surveyed who else was in the room. Master Yen Sid sat at his desk with his usual calm demeanour, and King Mickey stood eagerly beside him grinning from ear to ear.
"Tis good to see you again Sora, I swear you've grown taller since we met last."
Sora grinned as he knelt to Mickey's level.
"Heh well you know me your majesty, saving the worlds has its hicks."
A sudden cough brought silence to the room as Master Yen Sid gestured to the magically appearing chairs before him. Which of course everyone hurtled upon in a comical matter.
"Now then… we should just be waiting on the other two..." said Yen Sid as he began stroking his beard.
"Other two? Does he mean Riku and Lea?" Sora wondered.
"Oh so sorry we're late Master Yen Sid," Said a voice
"There were a few rouge Heartless that needed dealing with," replied another.
The familiar voices had Sora spinning round in his chair to the surprise guests. The first was the voice of his silver haired best friend: wearing a black hooded jacket, white shirt and black jeans. While the second wasn't the fiery red head, instead his red haired crush herself. She wore a pink hooded jacket with black edging and fox ears atop the hood, a white tank top, and grey denim shorts.
"Ah Riku and Kairi, I'm glad you could join us," Yen Sid replied. "If you'd please take a seat I'd like to get this matter underway."
Riku and Kairi nodded as they found themselves on extra conjured up seats; Sora sat baffled brimming with questions for the pair but that'd have to wait.
With everyone seated, Yen Sid's expression narrowed with his hands interlocked.
"As you are all well aware," he began. "These past few months have been an endless waiting game for the Realm of Light. Yet as of now, I can sense that a sudden shift in the darkness means Xehanort and his Ilk are on the verge of completing his organisation."
The faces of Sora and Riku contorted at the memory of their Mark of Mastery. If it hadn't of been for the efforts of Riku and the others, Sora would've succumbed to the darkness and become Xehanort's thirteenth vessel. The thought of being a puppet to the megalomaniac had brought many sleepless nights upon the spiky haired key bearer.
"However," Yen Sid continued. "Thanks to the reconnaissance performed by Riku and Mickey in the past weeks, we've been able to deduce that aside from the worlds harboring the Princesses of Heart. Xehanort's influence has become present throughout other worlds in order to share his ideals with those willing to aid in his conquest for the 'X-Blade'."
"And if they don't find anyone of interest," Riku interjected. "They just let the hordes of Heartless and Nobodies upon the world till they fall to darkness on their own accord."
"Precisely that Master Riku," Yen Sid replied with a frown. "Which is why the time has come for us to assemble our forces of light to thwart Xehanort's goal."
"The 7 Guardians of Light…." Mickey said with a wry smile.
"Yes…as of this moment we have been able to gather 5 of our Guardians of Light: Sora, Riku Mickey, Kairi and Lea…" The mention of Kairi's name by Yen Sid left Sora gaping at the newest key bearer.
"Since when did you start wielding a key blade?" Sora asked dumbfounded.
Kairi couldn't help but giggle, "Oh Sora you're such a goof. You'd honestly think I was just gonna sit on my ass while you and Riku go save the worlds again? The fact that im going to be a target for Xehanort makes all the more reason for me to be able to defend myself."
Sora could only smile at the now blushing Kairi's determination.
"Well the more the merrier, I just hope you can keep up hehe…" Sora cheekily replied.
"Hah," Kairi retorted. "At least I didn't scorch one of Merlins irreplaceable spell books during training.
"So that explains why Lea's not with us; coping an earful of Merlin," Sora laughed mentally. "Then Master, what about the other two. You said we needed Guardians of Light right..?"
Sora's question left saddened expressions on the old Master, Mickey, even Donald and Goofy."
"Fellas, I think it's time you learned about what happened 13 years ago…," uttered Mickey.
Realm of Darkness – The Dark Margin
With the silent waves lapping the grey shores, a pair of blue eyes opened to the bleakness of the dark realm. Beside her, the cloaked companion took note of her sudden awakening.
"Is everything all right?" he asked aimlessly.
The blue haired woman sighed as she sat up; her reflection murky at the water's edge.
"I had a dream about that boy again…Sora wasn't it?" Chapter End
