Author's Note: This story revolves around Riku when he first arrived into Other Worlds. I do not own characters or anything else from Squaresoft/Disney. The Time Clavis is only something I made up and Acturus is a character I made up.

Chapter 1, Arrival in the 'Other World'
" I'm not afraid of the darkness!" The silver-blue haired boy stretched his hand out for his best friend. The brown haired boy tried to reach for the hand but as soon as he noticed the spot Riku was standing on was now a patch of darkness, slowly engulfing him, he stepped back. Sora watched in horror as Riku fell into the darkness and disappeared completely.
What is he thinking? Riku thought, watching his friend's desperate expression from below. He's probably worried about Kairi He answered his own question. Riku looked around him, he was surrounded by complete darkness but strangely he could feel a strong presence of light. Closing his blue-green eyes, he lost consciousness and slowly drifted off into a deep slumber. The darkness grew more intense and started to devour his energy but he couldn't feel it.
Riku opened an eye and hurriedly placed a hand over it to shield it from the bright rays of the sun. Confused he stood up unstably and examined his surroundings carefully. He was positioned near the exit of a small forest with a town ahead. The trees around him were old and ancient, their leaves swaying as the light breeze played with them, whispering secrets to each other. Clueless of what was happening he took a step forward, because of the lack of energy he almost fell but fortunately he grabbed onto a branch.
"Is this...the other world I had been dreaming of?" he whispered softly to himself as he advanced forward, keeping one hand on the trees for support, " Is this really another world or...is it just a dream?" after a few more steps he fell on his knees. The soil was damp and solid. A rustle came from behind, swiftly Riku turned around with all his remaining energy. His eyes widened in astonishment at the sight of three creatures of the same kind. They were green and tiny, they also had sprouts on top of their heads but they had a dangerous atmosphere around them. Apparently Riku sensed the perilous situation he was in, he took a step towards the opening of the forest but the creatures scurried towards him. I can't fight now! I don't have my wooden sword with me...I'm very weary too I simply cannot face them right now! He thought as he grew nervous but he was soon forced into a battle whether he asked for it or not. Desperately Riku broke a branch with a pointed end and waved it in front of him as if it was a sword and with all his energy he stabbed the creature closest to him. It vanished into the thin air. The other two seemed aware that he now has a weapon that can kill, they retreated a few paced then without warning, one of them shot a reasonable large seed in Riku's direction. He tried to dodge it but since he was not prepared it was an unsuccessful attempt. The large seed hit him on his knee and he staggered forward, losing his balance a bit but when he looked up the two creatures had escaped. His senses are now sharpened and he looked around cautiously, leaning on the thin branch for support, he carefully stood back up. Making sure that there were no more of those monsters around, he turned and staggered towards the city.
