VI Young Apprentices

By Jaganthunder

Six young apprentices

All are dressed in white.

The wise man in the castle

Feels all is well and right.

Young Xehanort's his newest ward

An oddity to be sure.

Entranced by secrets of the light,

The darkness is his lure.

Hanging upside-down again,

He wears an eye patch and pony-tail.

Braig's a tricky sharp-shooter

His swift aim has yet to fail.

Dilan has the silver tongue,

Eyes sharp in a face that is gruff.

Patience is nil and insults are harsh

His interior and exterior are equally rough.

The eldest is locked away in the lab,

Most alive when surrounded by beakers and charts.

Mixing chemicals is what Even does best

He seldom takes breaks while researching hearts.

Aeleus, so enormous and strong,

Yet very nurturing and kind.

He's doing puzzles with his small companion

Such is his contemplative mind.

Little Ienzo's the bookiest of worms

He reads every book in the castle he is able to take.

The youngest melds right into Aeleus's side

Such an odd pair of friends the two do make.

Six young apprentices

Now all are clad in black.

The door has opened and taken their hearts,

And now they seek to get them back.
