Author's Note:
This collection is a grouping of one shots all taking place during a KH rp I'm in (the same as face to face)
Justin is a keyblade master who's known little about his family beyond his parents and was kicked out of his house at the age of 13 after gaining his keyblade.
(Justin's POV)
I gave a small sigh as I wandered away from the others "so…what did you want to talk to me about grandmaster riku?" I asked turning to look at the faded image of the keyblader that had helped defeat Nexus.
With a sigh he shook his head "first off please just call me riku,, secondly it seems Lilly didn't say much about me or your grandfather did she?"
I paused and shook my head "no the only thing I even knew was he died when I was young" I mumbled "he left me this" pulling the scarf I wore up a moment "Its enchanted to protect the wearer from stuff in the air like gases and that"
"Well good to know he remembered what I told him when he found that thing" he muttered "But anyway I'm getting off topic and I don't have a ton of time." He sighed and leaned against one of the pillars "So…like I said I've been keeping an eye on you for awhile now, ever since you first came back with your keyblade."
I blinked he'd watched me all that time? "Then why didn't you say anything? Do you have any idea how many times I could have used advice from someone more experienced than me?"
"Justin I couldn't, I could watch but I wasn't able to do anything to interact except here something about a combination of your presence in the realm of teacher and student and drawing so heavily on your mark of mastery caused me to be able to manifest thanks to all the power here" he explained "believe me if I could have shown up sooner I would have, I would have loved to help teach that loser Oluris a lesson I still owe him for taking me out the way he did"
I gave a wry chuckle "well how's being sealed in the kingdom of heartless sound for a punishment?" I asked smiling softly
He smirked "hm…fitting for a nut like him just wish he couldn't reach out of there"
"You and me both I've had enough insane dragons wanting my head" I mumbled "between Cynder, Malefor and Spyro not to mention pyroxs and dark." I shuddered "I have bad memories of the dragon realms"
I blinked feeling a quick pat on the shoulder "Believe me I can understand that I'd never managed to look at hollow bastion the same way after what happened there"
I frowned "but it's the same place?" I started confused
"But I stayed in the gardens side of it, the old castle portion where the elite forces are stationed are separate and I never entered the building if I needed to talk to them I'd call" he replied simply.
I paused and gave a small nod "Well makes sense" he muttered. Blinking as the white haired master started to fade "what's going on?"
"I told you I didn't have a ton of time" riku sighed "look I'll be honest the odds of me ever being able to talk to you again are pretty slim" he admitted "but…"
I grinned and nodded "hey least I know someone in my family cares. Thanks Riku, for everything"
The grand master chuckled "hey you did most of the work I just nudged you in the right direction. I leave the worlds in your capable hands Master Justin" he smirked a bit as he spoke
Laughing I did my best to keep a straight face "I thank you for your confidence Grand Master Riku, farewell"
"See ya" with that and a flicker of light he faded and vanished completely.
With a sigh I turned and headed back towards the others frowning a bit.
