Chapter 1: A Journey For Friends

Terra's heart wandered aimlessly through darkness. After barely managing to subdue Xehanort's heart, Terra had been able to take a physical appearance using the darkness around him. Trapped within thoughts and emotions, he had nothing to do but wait for someone to rescue him."Aqua...Ven...where are you?" He whispered to himself. He couldn't feel time move by because he was in the realm of darkness. He came to a strange beach with dark grey sand, ominous coral sticking out of the ocean. Black rocks with strange blue crystals scattered the beach, the sun looked like the moon, pale and round.

Terra sat on a rock and listened to the waves. It reminded him of that one place...Destiny Islands. Terra couldn't help but smile. The boy he chose to wield the Keyblade someday was on that island. So young, yet so much potential. Terra heard footsteps behind him. Footsteps? He was in the realm of darkness, since when are there people here? Terra turned to see a man in a black cloak, his face hidden under a hood."Who are you?" Terra asked.

"I don't know anymore," The man said.

Terra got off the rock to turn his entire body to face the strange man."Why are you here?"

"I am here...because I've caused pain to those in the realm of light. In the end, I tried to protect those I had caused pain to, and it lead to me being here, why are you here?"

Terra looked down."I too had caused my friends and many people pain," He said.

The man sat on the rock Terra had sat on and Terra sat on the ground."Tell me what happened," The man said.

So, Terra explained everything that happened, about his friends, Aqua and Ven, what he did and all.

"Can you...describe your friends to me?" The man asked.

Terra thought."Ven is a young man, with wind blown blonde hair and blue eyes. He held his Keyblade backwards, which fit his fighting style. Aqua is a young woman closer to my age, she has blue hair and blue eyes. I remember her trying to save me but..."

"I know Aqua," The man said. Terra's attentiveness perked up.

"Really? Is she here?"

The man nodded and pointed farther down the beach."Don't mind me, find your friend, I'm no use to anyone with my failing memory, soon I'll forget you as well."

Terra didn't want to leave the man, but his heart jumped in excitement, since that was the only part of him in the realm of darkness, he jumped too."Thank you," Terra said as he bowed and hesitantly ran down the beach. Soon he saw a figure slowly walking down the beach that occasionally paused to look at the ocean, then keep walking. The figure turned when it heard Terra's heavy footprints in the sand. HE stopped a few steps on between away

"Terra?" She asked.

"Aqua? Is it you?"

"Yes," She said, taking a couple steps closer. She closed the space and placed her hand gently on Terra's cheek.

Terra couldn't believe it, after all the pain he had caused, she didn't attack, she didn't yell, scream, cry, just stare in amazement. Terra felt weird for a second. A yellow light shown all around him and Aqua snatched her hand away as she saw the light begin to inch closer to her hand.

"What happened?" She asked.

"I'm...only my heart right now, I have no body Aqua," Terra explained.

Aqua let out a soft sigh and looked away."You have know idea how much I've missed you."

Terra was surprised.

"And for a second, I thought we'd both be able to leave together," She whispered, sitting down in the beach. Terra followed her.

"What do you mean?"

"We both can't leave because in order to perform this spell I have tried to perfect, you need two people, and but it only works with a strong connection."

"I can't see why we still can't do it."

"Since you only have a heart, I'd absorb you after we performed the spell...but if you had something that at least acted like a body, we'd both get out of here, together."

Terra thought before jumping up again."My armor!" He exclaimed.

"What?"

"When Xehanort took over my body, my soul...and most of my light, was left in my armor, it's still at the Keyblade Graveyard."

Aqua thought a second."I...could use the spell to transport your heart into your armor...but, you'd have to find a way back into the darkness by yourself..."

Terra nodded."I'll come back, I promise."

Aqua smiled."All right, let's do it."

Terra stood inches away from the tip of Aqua's Keyblade as she concentrated on gathering magic to use. In the realm of darkness, it had been harder for Aqua to fight with magic because it took more energy."Be careful Terra," She said."Transport!"

Terra shot through a portal and felt his body shange into a tiny ball of light. The light smashed into the Keyblade Graveyard and into Terra's armor. Memories of the armor flooded Terra, the wait for Xehanort to return, his fight with Sora and how old he gotten. But the most important sensation that waved upon him, was the sense of time. Terra couldn't believe how much time had passed as he got up and pulled his Keyblade out of the ground. The Lingering Sentiment was what Sora called him. Terra was back. After so many years, the LIngering Sentiment no Terra, left the Keyblade Graveyard for good.

'I wonder if those two boys can help me,' Terra thought.

In the distance, Terra saw his destination; Destiny Islands.
