Chapter 1Return welcome to Land of Departure
Aurza gave a soft moan as she woke up. Blinking to get her eyes adjusted to the sunlight. "Agh, not again," she says as she sits up, rubbing her head as she looked around the open field.
Looking down, she gawked in shock. Azura was no longer wearing what she had one earlier but, now she was wearing, a waist length jacket. On her right side was bright blue, and the other green. A pleated collar with black on the left side and white on others. Along with a black halfway zipped up vest, high collared indigo undershirt. Dark gray shorts with yellow stripes, blue pockets. Fingerless dark blue, green and white gloves. Along with oversized gray shoes with green, blue sides metal toe and soles of shoes. Around her neck was yellow wayfinder charm.
"Hey, are you ok?!" She looked to see a short cut blue haired girl running up to her followed by a taller man with dark brown hair.
Azura's jaw dropped at the sight of the duo. Shaking her head, "yeh, yeah," taking Terra's hand as she stood up. Her legs left a bit wobbly, but didn't let go of his hand, do to the fear that she would fall.
Her head spun as memories flowed back in. "Easy now." Terra slightly spoke. "Maybe we should take to see Master Eraqus," Aqua spoke up. Azura didn't object and letting Terra help as they made their way to the castle.
Azura laid on the bed, her hands behind her head. Thanks to Aqua her head had stopped spinning and her memories had come back. Master Eraqus had his apprentices go off to the study room and had told her to rest for a while. A smile crept on her face. Whether she wanted this or not, Az was back.
Sighing, she sat up, "better get going I've got a lot of explaining to do." Opening the door and walked out. Making her way to the Master's favorite place she knocked on the door. "Come In." Pushing the door open she walked in.
"Glad see the CURE spell my apprentice cast has worked." Azura rubbed the back of her head. "She's very talented and thoughtful too," Azura added. "Indeed she is." He turned to face the young keyblade wielder. "You scheme to have a lot of knowledge, mind telling me who you are." Gulping as she looked down fearing the words spilled out of her mouth.
"My name is Master Azura and I'm from a world that not even you would know about." She bowed at Master Eraqus.
"So, you have been trained by a master than in how to use the keyblade...?" He studied her. "Yes and no. I trained under a true master yes, but I mostly gained the title thanks to the support of my friends. Please, I don't like being called Master when you can truly never master anything." Eraqus nodded at her and walked over resting a hand on her shoulder. "That you are right. Even I'm still learning new things." Azura smiled at him.
"If it's ok, I'd like to stay here. To train under you, another master, to see your teaching and your students can learn from me as well. We will grow and learn as one." Eraqus laughed. "You're welcome here. Since you don't have a home this will be yours." After that, they talked for a while as he showed her around the castle he called home.
Yawning Azura collapsed onto her bed. Night had come and she was tried. Her body had not adjusted to the new time frame she will be living in. Rolling over she stared outside at the stars. A memory she shared with another burned in her mind as she looked outside.
"Hey, is it true stars are the hearts of the world's?" Asked a blonde haired boy looking over at his stargazing partner. Laughing, she replied back. "Yes. The hearts glow and shine through the darkest of night. They are always up there shining even when you can't see them. Though that what Master Ava told me." Azura looks over at the boy who smiled up at the night sky. "Hey, Az, when you are made master can… can we still be friends?" He asked looking over at her.
Azura sat up dumbstruck he asked that. "Yes. Just because Master Ava makes me a master doesn't change the fact we are friends", fixing her gaze up at the night sky. "Look there." She pointed upwards as a mentor shower took place the two watched it shower over the sky.
Azura had closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Tomorrow Master Eraqus was going to let the other know who she is and welcome her to their family. Her heart ached to long for a peaceful time she once knew. And with that, she was asleep.
-time skip-
Azura watched as Terra and Aqua's blades clashed together. Fours months have passed since she came and was able to fit in with ease. She would train with both Aqua and Terra daily.
Azura would do her best to help them understand how to defend, as well and as when it's not a good time to let your guard down. Today they were practicing on their own. Azura found a book and was reading it to herself. The history she lived back then written down in the book she was reading.
Azura looked up as the two stopped. Sighing she shut the book. The three made their way to the edge of the railing to see what was going on. Master Xehanort walked in followed by a blonde haired zombie. Her body tensed as she looked at him. 'Why? He didn't even deserve it.' She bit her lip. "That a boy is he ok?" Aqua soft voice cut through the silence they were in.
"I'll go see." Terra offered. Azura quickly followed him. Azura saw the boy's blue eyes, they looked sad or empty. She edged a bit closer. Terra walked up to him. She knew this had to play out right she can't step in. "I'm Terra what's your name?" He asked him. "Ventus." He replied sounding sad.
"So, you can talk." Then he turned to Aqua. "Hey, Aqua, come here," Terra called up to her. Aqua smiled and made her way down. "Hey, you ok Az?" Azura shook her head. "Yeh, yeah." She followed after. "Hi. I'm Aqua. This Azura," interdicting Azura who just waved at him. He looked at them.
"Terra… Aqua… Azura.." he spoke each name once looking at each person. Azura bit her lip and dread what happens next. "So, are you here train with us? Where you from? Who was that man with you?"
"Terra, don't ask so many questions at once." Azura scolded him as she watched Ventus try to process everything. "Are you good with a keyblade?" That did it, Ventus gripping his head as he cried out in agony.
Azura glared at Terra then walked over to Ventus and knelt down. "E-as-y, now," she whispered not looking at the others rest a hand on him. "What did you do?" Eraqus asked as he walked up with Master Xehanort.
"Nothing, I just asked him some stuff." Azura back away and shot a glare at Xehanort but, went unnoticed. He picked Ventus up. 'Only time you ever cared old man.' She thought. "Ventus cannot tell you anything.. anymore because he doesn't remember." They looked over at the boy. Xehanort carried him off.
"Azura, stay close to him please," Eraqus asked her and followed after the old man.
For next week he slept. Aqua barely left his side. Azura stood in the room her eyes closed. "Ventus why don't you wake up?" Aqua asked to no one really. "Give him time Aqua he'll wake soon I'm sure." Azura walked over and stood next to her.
"Let's go we can't wait here forever." The two girls started to walk out of the room. When soft groan made both look to see, Ventus waking up.
"Ventus you're awake!" Aqua made her way out calling for Master Eraqus and Terra. Azura walked over to the boy who just woke up. "Glad to see you have woken Ven." Azura smiled as she sat on the edge of the bed and waited for the rest to show up.
