Disclamer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Only OCs, this story, and more that follow.
"In your hand, take this Key. So long as you have the makings, then through this simple act of taking, its wielder you shall one day be. And you will find me, friend—no ocean will contain you then. No more borders around, or below, or above, so long as you champion the ones you love."
" This is the oath you must take if you wish to train under my teachings."
Master Eraqus glared sternly at the young boy who held his head low, his long, spiky hair covering his face. It was not the first the first time a child had asked to be trained to be a master of the Keyblade, but Eraqus had sensed something in the boy's heart. Now, here they were, in the Throne of the Masters, in the castle that Eraqus had lived in ever since he earned the Mark of Mastery.
" If you accept, than you will have to endure the most rigorous training. And you will be expected to follow my rules, orders, and teachings." Eraqus explained. The boy still did not look up. Eraqus felt his stern frown loosen. He may be overly stern as he calls himself, but he didn't want to bring the boy to tears.
" If you don't feel up to the task, then you don't have to accept." He added in a tone that would remind some one of a caring father.
The boy's head lifted up a little, though Eraqus still could not see his eyes. Eraqus decided on that spot, that if this boy should accept, he would create a warrior that would make his late master proud.
Eraqus extended out his right hand and summoned his Keyblade. It had the appearance of an old fashioned skeleton key, with the teeth in the shape of an 'E'. Eraqus flipped the Master Keeper so that he was holding the blade himself, and the hilt and handle were directed at the boy. He once again recited the Oath of Inheritance to the boy except this time, when Eraqus finished, the boy looked up at him and Eraqus had a look at his eyes.
They were a light shade of green that reminded him of the sea. Deep within them, a fire of pride could be seen beyond the kindness they showed. The boy gingerly, reached out his hand, and grasped the Master Keeper's hilt. The Mark was sealed.
Eraqus smiled and dismissed his Keyblade. "My name is Master Eraqus." he extended his hand out. The boy stared at it, and then, slowly took it. It was then at that moment, they became master and student.
Eraqus clasped his hands together. "Well then, off to bed," he said, showing the boy to his room. "You have a long day ahead of you." They walked down the halls of the castle to what would now be the boy's room. As the boy reached for the handle, Eraqus stopped him. "I never got your name." he said.
The boy smiled. "It's Ian sir, Ian Hikari."
Eraqus smiled. "Very well then," he turned to leave.
"Goodnight, Ian."
"Goodnight,"
As Eraqus closed the door, Ian spoke once again. "Master Eraqus."
