This is my first story, and drabble challenge.

Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts is owned by Disney and Square Enix, trust me, I don't.


Riku looked at the land in front of him, there was no way he would ever escape it, and it was all because he'd let Darkness into his heart. He raised his hand for a second, summoning his sword, Soul Eater, to bash the Heartless in front of him.

"Don't concentrate on the Heartless Riku, they're always respawning here." Mickey said before grabbing Riku's hand to guide the way.

"Why?" Riku asked. "Kingdom Hearts is here, they should be destroyed by its Light."

"Riku, in the Realm of Darkness, those in the Darkness will continue to thrive because Light is little." Mickey explained to the teen. "Kingdom Hearts is only Light on the inside, not the outside. That's why the Heartless exist."

Riku knew better than to question, he had dabbled in Darkness enough to understand.

In a place filled with Darkness, even the smallest Light isn't enough to destroy the Darkness; it takes an outside Light to guide the way.


In honor of KH 3D's North American release, I'm writing a challenge of fifty drabbles in order to count down its release with a new drabble every day. I'm taking requests from you, the readers, for drabble themes, all you have to do to request one is put in a review with the theme you want and the character(s) you want featured. Anything goes as long as the theme is not inherently romantic, mainly because I want this story to be for everyone, something I can't do should I allow pairings, since everyone has preferences and I can't make everyone happy if I choose a few.

That said, please review.
