Underlined-Sora

Bold Underlined-?

*Line Break*

Where am I?

You're here.

I know that! But, where is here?

Why do you want to know?

Because I do.

But why?

Because I just do!

You're being quite defensive.

Fine! I-I want to know because I've never seen this place before.

And you want to leave?

No! I want to explore. If I've never seen this place before, maybe I could discover something. Maybe even, this is a brand-new world that has just been created!

It's not.

*disappointed* Oh. *curiosity returns* But, then where exactly am I?

This is a heart.

My heart?

No. This is another's heart.

Whose heart is it?

You cannot know at this time. I am sorry

Oh, okay. And I'm here because...?

You needed to see something.

Something inside their heart?

Mhmm

Okay, what is it?

Look beneath you. On the floor, there is a prophecy of what has happened, what is happening, and what has yet to occur. Can you read it to me?

"The final key is the destiny; of all the worlds that thrive. One pure light, one corrupted darkness; needed to keep the blade alive. Two shall go, one shall leave; and become the master of the oblivion key. The other will keep the oath; with the remnant of a sister's final plea." Wait, but was does that have to do with... *rumbles and shaking begin*

You should leave. Quickly, go!

Huh? But how do I...? *Shaking intensifies, and the platform begins to crack in two. *

Wake up, Sora. WAKE UP NOW!

*Line Break*

"Sora, WAKE UP! We're nearly there."

Sora opened his eyes to see his friends, Donald and Goofy, standing over him. He yawned and sat up on the couch, rubbing his eyes, causing his friends to jump back. "Good morning, Donald. Morning, Goofy." Sora said sleepily.

"Good morning? More like good afternoon. You've been asleep the entire way!" Donald chastised Sora with a smack on the head.

"Sorry," The cyan-eyed brunette apologized with a tired, but genuine, smile, scratching his spikes. He knew that he couldn't sleep on the Gummi Ship unless they had nowhere to go for the night in other worlds.

"Aw, there's no reason to be sorry, Sora. You were just really, uh, really sleepy." Goofy said, patting the brunette on the back.

"Yeah, I mean, you did just have that Mark of Mastery exam inside the dream world. We probably should have realized you would be tired." Donald said, laughing nervously as he realized that his friend probably did need the sleep.

"That's alright, Donald. But, I did have a really strange dream while I was sleeping just now." Sora said, as he tilted his head back.

"Really? Well, what was it about?" Goofy asked. Donald nodded in agreement. "Yeah, what was it, Sora?"

"Well," Sora said, as he sat upright and rested his hand in his chin, "I was inside this really dark place, on top of a platform. And there was this voice, and she was telling me that this was her heart, and she sounded really familiar. Oh, and then, she asked me to read this really weird prophecy that was on the floor. Then, the place began to collapse!"

"And then?" Donald prompted.

"Then, I woke up. I still remember the prophecy though. I don't know what it meant." Sora said.

"Well, tell us and maybe we can figure it out. After all, three heads are better than one!" Goofy says, slapping him on the back.

Sora smiled. "Alright. So, the prophecy was, "The final key is the destiny; of all the worlds that thrive. One pure light, one corrupted darkness; needed to keep the blade alive. Two shall go, one shall leave; and become the master of the oblivion key. The other will keep the oath; with the remnant of a sister's final plea." As Sora finished, the smile fell from his face. Goofy and Donald also grew a bit pale at the last line.

"Final plea? Remnant? One pure light? This is really confusing!" Donald exclaimed.

"Well, how about starting from the beginning? What could the final key be?" Goofy asked. The three heroes began to think. It wasn't long until Donald exclaimed, "The Keyblade!"

"Yeah! So the line would be the Keyblade is the destiny, or savior, of all the worlds! Good job, Donald!" Sora exclaimed. Donald jumped up and down in excitement.

"What's the next line, Sora?" Goofy asked.

"One pure light, one corrupted darkness; needed to keep the blade alive. So, what or who is a pure light?" Sora asked, confused.

"Well, the princesses of Heart are seven pure lights. Maybe one of them?" Goofy said, scratching his head.

"Or maybe another Keyblade wielder? A pure light could be anyone for all we know!" Donald complained, having stopped his enthusiastic jumping.

"Well, let's skip it and move on," Sora reasoned. "Could a corrupted darkness be a Heartless? And who are the two people leaving? Not to mention the reference to Oblivion and Oathkeeper as well."

"Gawrsh, maybe this prophy- phroph...?"

"Prophecy."

"Yeah, maybe the prophecy isn't so easy to solve. But, hey, we're here!" At Goofy's exclamation, Sora and Donald turned toward the window. They had arrived at Radiant Garden, or what was formerly known as Hollow Bastion. At Master Yen Sid's insistence, they had been sent here to train a bit before beginning their next adventure. Maybe Leon, Yuffie, Aerith, and Cid could help with the prophecy too! Now the three heroes really had a reason to be here. Who knows what that prophecy could mean!

*Line Break*

As Sora, Donald, and Goofy exited the Gummi Ship, they had no idea what was soon to come. They also had no idea, that on the roof behind where they had landed, a figure wearing a distinctive black cloak was watching them before disappearing into the shadows.
