Hiiii! It's Dark again! So it's been a long time (wiithout you my friend- sorry) since I've posted a new story! Especially with kingdom hearts! To those who still faintly remembers, I used to have this KH story about Ventus- the title was 'Screw you!' ... yeah, I know. I was really hyper back then. But anyway, I deleted that story because well, I lost the interest to continue it and also because I realized how terrible it was. Whoops.

But anyway, I'm trying my best to remake that story! I'd also like to warn you that English is not my first language and I have the tendency to make mistakes in grammar- I just write what sounds right. Hey that rhymes! :D Oh so umm yeah! Please enjoy this story while it lasts lel! Kinda also dedicated this to my friend who deeply loves KH.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN KINGDOM HEARTS! (if I did... well i won't change it because damn)

A memory.

A forgotten prophecy.

And a death that affected all.

"Master?"

Staring up at the night skies, Yen Sid tightened his grip on the book on his weary hands. A silhouette resembling a giant mouse stayed still behind him as tiny speckles of dust floated through the spacious room.

"The stars are looking bright tonight, Mickey." Yen Sid said, his voice gravelly and tired.

Mickey stepped out of the shadows, a worried look plastered on his face. "What do they say?" He asked and took his spot beside his master.

"Another one comes." Yen Sid sighed, his eyes travelling down to the rotting book in his hands. "Let us wait patiently and see what happens."

'And hope that Death will not come upon us once again.'

In a completely different world, a girl walked along a lonely beach with her bare feet. A gentle hum echoed throughout the place as the moon rose steadily in the sky. With the moon glowing beautifully, the girl hummed louder.

The waves in the beach grew stronger as the girl raised her hands to the sounds of her hymn. And the sea grew wilder as the notes in the hymn became higher until it became unbearable to the ears of the nymphs in the island—

Everything faded out.

'In a world where nothing remains, a girl walks alone.'

"Then what happened next, granny?" A red-haired kid asked excitedly. She sat on the lap of her smiling grandmother as they rocked on a comfy chair near the crackling fire place.

Christmas decor surrounded the living room, a warm and loving air around them. "Oh? Do you like the story, Kairi?" The grandmother replied, a playful twinkle in her dark blue eyes.

"Of course I do, gran-gran! What was the girl's name? And what are nymphs?" Kairi asked and tilted her head at the last part, slightly mixing up the word 'nymph' with 'chimp'. The 5 year old red-head pouted when her grandmother laughed at her trouble with words.

"Well, nymphs are fairies, little one. But, they rest aside with nature. So remember that when you go around plucking flowers! Always ask permission first, okay? Nymphs appreciate a show of respect." The grandmother smiled as she pinched the girl's nose.

"Granny!" Kairi whined. "You didn't answer my other question! What was her name?"

"Her name was Pallas."

'She waits for those who could save her.'

Pushing herself off her bed, a girl frantically looked around her room. She trembled at the cold night wind, the hair on her neck standing up.

An owl comfortably perched on her opened window, its silvery eyes glowing in the dark. The girl was strongly reminded of the moon when she stared longer at the creature's eyes. Neither of them moved as seconds passed.

'The heart as pure as light can return what is right.'

To the girl's shock, words left the owl's beak when it opened. A powerful woman's voice entered her mind as she raised a hand to rub her aching head.

'Avenge me for I have chosen you over a thousand warriors. Protect the light and balance the darkness, heed my words and retrieve what has been lost—'

The girl screamed in pain as the migraine became worse.

'—then Death will return to its place. The light will guide you.'

"Make it stop, please!"

'As it has guided me before.'

"Where am I?"

She stood on a white platform, her raven black hair flowed around her as she walked around, trying to make sense of what's going on. Everything felt cold. She was alone.

And she didn't like it all.

"A little girl? After all those legendary warriors asking for her patronage, she chooses a little girl?" A snarky voice snorted. "What's your name again? Callyn, was it?"

Snapping her head to the side, Callyn suddenly felt nauseous when another weird event just added itself for the day's list. And to inform you, she's having EXTREME fun. Uh, yeah no.

Small—tiny—particles of light slowly appeared out of nowhere and joined one another to form a child-like figure in front of her. Callyn stepped back in reflex, cautiously looking around for anything to defend her from well... anything.

"Oh calm yourself. You can't hurt me even if you tried." The very same voice said behind her said as Callyn threw her fist out of self defence.

SMACK

"Ow!"

She raised an eyebrow slightly, not able to stop the giggle leaving her mouth when she realized what she just did.

A boy, looking barely at the age of 9, glared up at her with fiery red eyes. Callyn was slightly taken back at the fury hidden at the boy's eyes until she saw the fire inside his pupils. She gasped.

"You're not human, are you?"

The boy sneered, revealing his sharp teeth. "Of course, I'm not. I was just sent here because that blasted woman finally found her 'saviour'. Fifty thousand years of service and I still get the babysitting job."

Callyn choked. "F-Fifty thousand?" and then she scrunched her nose, a habit of hers that she inherited from her mom. "What saviour? There's nobody here?" She was expecting a buff guy to appear out of nowhere like the boy did but was disappointed when nothing happened.

Then that leaves her—

"A saviour? And who are you talking about?" Callyn squawked, her eyes widening in each passing second.

The red-eyed boy ignored her, igniting the annoyance inside Callyn even more. "My name is Wyatt and I'm here to watch your progress."

"Slow down! You still haven't answered my questions."

Wyatt snorted. "I don't need to answer you."

A look of irritation flashed through Callyn's face as she moved closer to Wyatt, her hands twitching on her sides. She had enough with being clueless. Just standing here in this blank platflorm made her head ache-– she wanted to go back home where her parents were probably sleeping, completely clueless that their daughter is having the craziest time of her life.

But before Callyn could satisfy the need to wrap her fingers around Wyatt's neck, a bright light—even brighter than the platform's—covered them both thus blinding her momentarily.

When she opened her eyes, a gasp left Callyn's lips. She looked down at the platform and was shocked to see herself decorated in it. She was asleep with her hair tied into a one-sided braid, her right hand was clasped around a giant key that looked extremely familiar to her. Aside that, there were a bunch of images surrounding her figure—a blonde-haired boy, a red-headed girl with shocking blue eyes, a spiky-haired kid with the same blue eyes and...

"That's her." Wyatt said.

Callyn turned around to see Wyatt looking down at the image of the woman on the platform. A feeling of nostalgia hit her when she glanced at the beautiful woman. Those silver eyes pierced through her heart as an icy feeling crept up on Callyn's spine.

The owl... the key... the platform.

"A-Am I in a game?" Callyn gasped.

Wyatt shrugged his shoulders and nonchalantly brushed Callyn's reaction off. "It's not technically a game when it's a real living dimension."

"I-I can't believe it... Kingdom Hearts? It's real?" Callyn brushed a strand of her hair from her pale face.

"Just said that."

"How is Kingdom Hearts related to all of these?"

Wyatt suddenly formed in front of Callyn as he poked a finger on her chest, where he barely reached her shoulders. "Simple. Your heart."

Callyn felt aghast. "My heart?"

"Yes your heart." Wyatt rolled his eyes. "As the game suggests, every heart holds a tiny bit of light—depends on a person, actually. And now about your heart—it's been tainted." He deadpanned.

Callyn furrowed her eyebrows, slightly offended by the boy's comment. "Excuse me?"

"Don't worry. It's extremely rare to find hearts these days that are completely pure. So this is where you come in, apparently the woman in that picture." Wyatt paused to point at the beautiful woman on the platform. "—chose you to save her from the darkness that has subdued her. And trust me when I said chose because that woman is extremely picky when it comes to these things." He murmured, his tone slightly having an annoyed one in it.

"I-I still don't get it." Callyn sighed.

"Of course you don't, I'm still not finished yet." Wyatt smirked, waving off the frown on Callyn's face. "Now, you're probably asking why you? Why does it have to be you?"

Callyn muttered to herself. "Been asking that for awhile now."

Wyatt shot her a glare. She kept her mouth shut.

"Frankly, I don't know why Pallas chose you. But, you must be someone huge to catch her attention. Since Pallas is trapped in darkness and has been so for a millennia—I am here to guide your heart that connects this realm to Kingdom Hearts."

"Humans these days create illusions just to fool themselves into thinking that their dimension is the only thing important to the universe. To that I say 'hah' because the universe is vast and never-ending, there are so many things out there that are much important than petty little humans. But anyway, because of those illusions they create, they also create different realms with it."

Callyn frowned deeper.

Wyatt wagged a finger. "Imagination is the key to everything, Callyn. Now, your heart is currently balanced with darkness and light, the exact same way on how Pallas had hers before she was completely—well you get the point. Anyway, you are chosen to go to Kingdom Hearts because it is the only way to completely wipe away the dirt in your heart."

"Protect the light and the light will cleanse your mistakes." Wyatt finished, seeming a bit satisfied at his explanation.

'The heart as pure as light can return what is right.'

Her head hurt as Callyn sat on the freezing ground. She ignored the smiling faces of the strangers on the platform, the only thing that mattered to her now was going home. Yes, she was familiar with Kingdom Hearts—heck she's played it before! But the thought of it being real was shocking to her. Who wouldn't be shocked?

"So, you're telling me I'm just a pawn for Pallas to be revived? After I do this, I can go back home?"

Wyatt nodded slowly. "If you put it that way, then yes."

Callyn chuckled humourlessly. She didn't like where this was going but if this was the only way on returning to her parents, then so be it. "A pawn in a game, huh."

"It's okay." Wyatt forced a smile, slightly not used to being nice. "You'll learn to protect the light."

"Fine then, how do I leave this place?"

"Easy. Just scream."

"Screa—AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

"There you go!"

BAM! And that's where we stop y'all! So, whaddya think? I know it's a bit confusing at first with all the 'who's Pallas?', 'why are nymphs involve with this'?

And to be honest, I have no idea why I typed nymphs. It's probably because it sounded mythical and fairy tale like so I thought maybe it would have went well with the theme lol.

Also! To those who are maybe familiar with myths and stuff- I'd like to ask you a question,

Who do you think is Pallas?

But anyway! Yep! Ventus and the others will be showing up shortly in the next chapter since I don't want to rush things. Also, I'd like to remind you that I posted this story for experimental reaction because I really want to know what you guys think about this remake- do you think I should stop or continue?

FAVORITES, COMMENTS, FOLLOWS AND REVIEWS ARE GLADLY WELCOMED! Flames are however eaten by Wyatt over there! lol :D

RUBY OUT!
