In a world full of different kingdoms and all kinds of magic, there exists the Kingdom Hearts within the world, the Kingdom Hearts hold great power and acted as the heart of the entire world. The Kingdom Hearts was once discovered by several kingdoms that began a war over the Kingdom Hearts.
After the war was over, several people to make sure that the power of the Kingdom Hearts would not be abused by those who wished to misuse the power for their own ends sealed the Kingdom Hearts within the Earth. Through the light of their hearts they had managed to forge the first ever Keyblades; weapons that were forged from the light within their hearts. It was with their Keyblades that the Kingdom Hearts was safely locked inside a Magical Keyhole that would lead to a dimension within the earth where the Kingdom Hearts was kept...
The trained and mastered use of the Keyblades and seek out others from their kingdoms and others who were able to call forth Keyblades from their hearts so they could be trained in the ways of the Keyblade. The Keyblade wielders became known as the defenders of the Kingdom Hearts.
This was a role that they took seriously and it was not without peril, for there were others with darkness in their hearts who wanted to reawaken Kingdom Hearts. Others who let darkness completely overtake their Hearts and disconnect them from their souls were turned into what would be known as Nobodies. Nobodies had clashed with the Keyblade wielders before. The Keyblade Wielders also had to contend with the Heartless, creatures created from the darkness in people's hearts.
Despite the enemies the wielders of the Keyblade kept the Kingdom Hearts safe to this very day...
Traverse Town, a town situated on an island on an island in the middle of the ocean. On the edge of the island was a beach that the kids of the island would go and play amongst themselves. Right now playing with wooden swords were two fourteen year old boys. One of the boys who was named Sora, was a spiky brown haired boy wearing yellow shoes, red shirt, red pants, white fingerless gloves, and a black hooded jacket which had white short sleeves. The other who was named Riku, was taller, had short purple hair, blue pants, light grey and yellow shoes, black gloves and a yellow sleeveless shirt.
"You lose again Sora." laughed Riku was Sora was disarmed by Riku and he humphed while picking up his wooden sword again. "You always beat me at everything Riku, one of these days you will not get so lucky." Sora said with a grin as he and Riku began fighting with the swords again.
They heard a chuckle and stopped what they were doing to see a girl their age coming over to them, she had short red hair, a white sleeveless shirt, white shoes and a purple skirt. "Hi Kairi!" Sora and Riku both said waving to the girl who was their friend Kairi. "I was sent to come and get you guys, your mums think it is time for you to come home." Kairi said as Sora and Riku nodded and Sora started to follow her but Riku turned to look at the ocean.
"Thinking about the world beyond the ocean Riku?" Sora asked walking up to Riku as he nodded. "Sorry Sora but like I always told you, there is a big world out there and one day we will explore it together!" Riku said with a grin as he patted Sora on the shoulder and the trio made their way back to Traverse Town.
Later around night time in his home Sora was looking out the window of his bedroom, from the view of the window you could say a mountain with had a tower on it. He always remembered the stories his mother told him of the occupants of the tower:
"When I was a little girl there was an old man who lived in the tower, he would come to Traverse for various items and books. He would ways say that he was a sorcerer and that he was buying ingredients for his various options for him and his young apprentice to make. One day I was out shopping with my mother and we found the man in the streets, he told us a story that the other day that his apprentice tried some magic to do some housework which resulted in out of control brooms. Sometimes some people and shopkeepers said that they had seen the apprentice themselves and he was a bit of a mouse they would say. One day we got news that the old man died and though we never saw the apprentice, some say that he became a full sorcerer himself."
Sora smiled to himself as he started getting ready for bed. Through his life he not only fantasized to go exploring with Kairi and Riku but to see inside the tower and see if he could meet this apprentice himself.
*KH:G*
In the tower was a room filled with different books from a tale of Sleepy Hollow to a story of the Chernabog of Bald Mountain. There was a figure looking through a special telescope. He was looking at the outside of a kingdom with a castle and a forest called the Moors. The figured looked on in horror as he saw a purple dragon shaped figure flying to the castle that was in the middle of the Moors. "Oh boy, this is bad..." the figured said as he took his eyes of the telescope and looked down to his loyal canine companion. "Pluto, it looks like sinister forces may be at work." The figure said looking serious which worried the dog Pluto "I may have to come out of retirement, if my suspicions are correct then the whole world will be in danger and maybe more than that. Let's hope I can figure out what Maleficent is up to before it is too late..."
Yeah this is a pet project I have had in my head for months that I have now finally managed to get around to writing. This is a complete reboot of Kingdom Hearts and the various worlds are condensed to various kingdoms in the one world. I will also be taking liberties with the franchises (like incorporating parts of the live action versions like mentioning the Moors) visited just like what was done in the show Once Upon a Time as well as liberties in how things work in the Kingdom Hearts universe. So don't expect things like Organisation XIII or if Xeonhart appears for him to have many different versions of himself. Yeah I have learned as a fanfiction writer I tend to be more comfortable writing stories when I am using my own universe than trying to write in an established one (like the Marvel stories I have written which take place in their own universe).
Next chapter we meet some of our villains and then a normal day for Sora in Traverse Towns soon becomes anything but ordinary...
