Prologue: A glimpse into the future
This is not the beginning; however the entire story begins here.
I do not own any of the characters or kingdom hearts.
It was the very best of times…and yet the worst possible timing. How could this have happened? After everything they have done to prevent this event. Years of lonely nights sleeping in solitude, adjacent bedrooms, wanting to be near him and longing to feel his touch. All was lost the night he came home from the war.
The Queen raced down the corridors of her brilliant castle, tears streaking her worried face. She finally finds the sanctuary in which she was looking for and throws the doors open wide and shuts them swiftly, almost collapsing behind them. She flings herself onto the bed and weeps.
Meanwhile in the courtyard the King and his young apprentice where practicing combat drills when suddenly Daisy the queen's Lady in waiting, absconded anxiously into the mist of the false battle. "Your Majesty..." she said breathlessly "your Majesty come quick it's… it's the queen. She barely finished the sentence before she fell to the ground clutching her chest in pain from the jaunt.
It was almost as if time had ceased, it took him no longer than the wind passing against ones face to reach their bedroom. And there half on the bed and half off, draped in sadness lay his queen. "Minnie!, oh my love what's troubling you." "What is it that I can do to make you smile again? Name it and it is yours." The room fell silent and still the echoing of her whimpers could barely be heard from outside the door. That would be the only sound that came for minutes as a host of close friends stood just outside.
Finally, after what seemed an eternity she leaned her head upon his shoulder and said "My king, my love… I have failed you." In the kings thoughts her words did not connect as he pondered what could this beautiful creature have done to ever feel like she had let him down. Before he could say a word she took his hand and placed it firmly upon her belly.
The king knew then what this was she was trying to tell him without uttering the words that would complete her madness. Mickey leaned in to his wife and took her gently by the chin, wiping away the remaining tears that were left slowly drifting down her face. "My dear," he said gently. "We knew one day this might happen and nothing we do now is going to change the fact that you are now holding within your womb the heir to Disney castle.
"Mickey…" she cried. "What about the prophecy?" "What about our child who must bear the burden of the key blade?" "What…" She paused. As she was caught off guard by that same goofy grin he gets when life is going his way. "You smile at this?"She questioned. "No, my dear, I smile at the revelation that the life that you now carry within you was made in love, will be raised in love and will be the greatest ruler that this world or any of the worlds has ever seen.
