I'm stopping here for today for uploading. I hope you guys like the story so far. If not, I promise it will get better than this. I just really needed to write this to get the story going. This chapter might be a little boring but don't let it stop you from reading the rest! I'm trying to post them in short chapters because in the whole document I have, there aren't really real chapter dividers...I'm bound to get lazier later and just post them in larger chunks. Since my friend and I got really busy now with school, we're only writing a sentence at a time. When this finally catches up with the actual writing (I'll tell you when) the updating will get extremely slow. Unless it's already summer. Ah well enough rambling - enjoy!

The innkeeper was suspicious. A guest had came in all dressed in a strange garb involving a black hood and nothing else. He gave the innkeeper a bag of munny out of nowhere and went to his room. No words came out of the stranger's mouth - if the guy had a mouth- if the stranger was a guy. Though that wasn't the most suspicious he had seen, the innkeeper was still very suspicious. The innkeeper was requested in a manner that involved no speaking to not send the stranger any food. The guest was only going to spend the night. Hopefully this stranger, if dangerous, wouldn't bring any harm during his stay.

While the innkeeper was brooding over his thoughts, the stranger was in his room with the curtains shut closed. The flame in the lamp was burning brightly but only gave off a dim light to show the grand scheme of the room. The stranger sat on the bed facing the lamp, his back hunched and and head ducked down. The room was modest. A simple bed covered in brown and white quilts, a braided white rug was the only thing covering the wood floor, a small table was stationed near the bed, and a book by Ansem was laid on the table. The stranger picked up the book and tried to read by lamp light.

This book says nothing about the powers of the Princesses of Heart, thought the stranger bitterly. This was the journal of the great Ansem an alchemist. He still did not know what made the Princesses of Heart so powerful. Or maybe that Princess of Heart was just special. Maleficent had held one captive. They said that this princess was able to do very important things.

Sora lay on his back, wide awake. Donald and Goofy had gone to sleep hours ago, but for some strange reason, he couldn't fall asleep himself. He sighed and looked up at the night sky.

Kairi, what are you doing right now? I wish I could be with you... *rustle*

Sora snapped out of his trance and looked wildly around. A strange monster came out from behind a thicket of bushes. It was entirely black, except for it's glowing, yellow eyes. His new friends continued to sleep, and Sora had no idea what to do with this unknown creature.

Somehow, when Sora stared into it's captivating eyes, a voice told him, This is one of the many Heartless you are to find on your quest. This one in particular is called a Shadow. Summon within yourself the weapon to protect yourself and your treasured people from these Heartless. Imagine light!

Sora thought of Kairi and her sparkling smile. How her hair always seemed so fiery red and how she always seemed so alive. He felt an orb of energy form in his right hand, and a key-shaped sword materialized into his hand. Sora hit the Heartless until it disappeared into the shadows. His chest heaved up and down from exhaustion, and the key-shaped sword disappeared into the air.

You did it, Sora. You summoned the Keyblade. You are now a Keyblade Master... Sora was at first confused by the words. But then his body swayed from tiredness, and he dropped next to Goofy and fell into the comforting arms of sleep.

I tried to make it more spaced out so it's easier to read...o3o I hope you liked it! Please R&R!
