Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts otherwise there would be a lot more romance... between the male characters. XP

Note: So I was informed that all of my belly-aching about length was unnecessary so you guys get a chapter a bit earlier than you would have. So yeah the story will be alternating between my two main characters. I felt that this would be a better way of giving the story, and way of fleshing out their characters you know?

Chapter 2 Sora

The attack on Avalon took place the day after my father Leon the god of creation and Mother Aerith the goddess of life had been enveloped within an unknown spell placing them in a deep slumber.

"I've never heard of or seen a spell like this," the highest intellect of all the godly realm was baffled at the state of my father, and the mother goddess. "This spell was not constructed by myself, and even rivals the strands of creation sowed into place by those of the highest court. I can't even be sure that this is a spell and not just an overwrite of the very essence of reality itself."

"English Ansem!" yelled my father's most trusted warrior in arms, Terra. He seemed to be the most startled about this along with myself, feeling that he failed in the duty to protect my father.

"Watch your tongue Terra," said Aqua my father's advisor in a reprimanding tone.

"What I mean is," started Ansem shooting Terra a look of annoyance, "is that what is afflicting your master and the high mother is something unheard of in any of the realms, and thus so can't just be cured without further research."

"You can't mean," started Aqua with a look of complete bewilderment and fear.

"Precisely, this is something that even I know nothing about, which means that it's on the level of creation from the highest authority possible," said Ansem stroking his golden goatee.

"I don't understand this! Why is my father not waking up?" I shouted. My father one of the mightiest gods in Avalon wasn't waking up. The one god given the free reign to create anything his heart desired was incapacitated.

My father's Archangels and the Seraph of knowledge all looked at me with eyes filled with pity. They realized how terrifying this was for me; no one knew what was wrong with my father.

"Sora," Aqua approached me with soft eyes.

I instantly backed away from the blue haired woman, "NO! Tell me what's wrong with my father now and how can I fix it?" My father and Aerith hovered in midair crystalized with a haze of darkness upon their eyes. My father's crystal resembling him sitting upon a throne, cheek on fist, gazing forward; and Aerith praying, hands clasped, to the sky.

Ansem transferred his gaze to Aqua, "Zexion, and Vexen are traversing the realms as we speak looking for any clues as to what happened, their search will be finished in a day. I honestly doubt they'll find anything however. Donald has also been sent to converse with the Highest and his court, but won't reach his domain for 3 days, so we won't get a word back for some time."

"Terra, stay here and act as guard in case anything is to happen. I can't fathom their condition just being a random occurrence," Aqua said receiving a nod from him in return; along with a peculiar look of understanding from Ansem, and then turned to me and gestured for me to follow her out the main entrance of the Sanctuary.

We left the seraph and archangel behind and walked outside into Earthglow Square, one of the areas's most influenced by Aerith's powers. Life flourished here alongside brick residential buildings. Plants grew harmonically with the stone, and small animals scampered all around blessed with the free reign granted them by the life goddess.

We walked down a set of stairs leading to the square directly from the sanctuary and Aqua turned to me, again with that look of pity in her eyes. It made my blood boil, "Sora."

"What's going on Aqua? What aren't you telling me?" I stared hard at the archangel. Something wasn't adding up. What exactly did she mean when she said this wasn't a coincidence?

Her gaze faltered, and she looked away from me.

"Aqua you are my father's archangel and by extension my servant as well. I command you to tell me the truth," it was honestly unusual for me to speak to Aqua in such a tone as my father always told me to give her my utmost respect as my senior. The archangel has served my father for centuries before I was even conceived, and indeed outranked me in terms of experience and knowledge. However my father was crystalized in the cathedral-like building behind us, and she was hiding something from me.

Despite the blatant disrespect on my part Aqua turned her gaze to the doors of Aerith's sanctuary with a look of sadness etched across her face, "Your father commanded me with direct orders not to reveal anything to anyone, until we could confirm that his suspicions were actually true."

"And!?" I said quickly losing any patience that I had.

Her somber gaze met my face again, "It's still too early to say, and he instructed me and Ansem to find out before he fell into this sleep."

All of the hairs on my neck stood on end, and my heart started beating tenfold when a loud roar shook the very foundations of the square. My eyes widened in recognition, "Bahamut." The dragon was my father's first layer of defense for Avalon and his roar could only mean that something was on its way.

Aqua's face donned a mask of utmost confusion, and instantly transformed to one of fearful realization looking to the northern horizon ahead of us. The archangel turned back to me with a face of naked urgency, "Go look for the twins!"

All I could do was nod meekly. I ran down the steps of the sanctuary into the square and turned east to make my way towards Whitewind Terrace where I knew my cousins would be sparring in a game of struggle.

Another ground shaking roar was heard from Bahamut prompting me to run even faster. The phantasmal beast was one of what my father Leon would call his perfect creations, flawless imitations of life created with the sole purpose to serve and defend their masters. Bahamut was arguably one of the strongest of the beasts, able to raze whole armies with a single beam; and was thus tasked with guarding the whole of our realm, and only roared when there was something that it couldn't handle on its own. Everyone knew this fact and that's why it was so terrifying.

I had to find the twins.

Notes: So there goes some of your backgroundy stuff guys. I hoped to flesh out the setting a bit more, but then I realized that I would probably dedicate whole paragraphs to plant descriptions, and come on who wants that? Aside from that you got a little of Sora's motivations and what he's entering the story with. So how did it make you feel? Where the emotions apparent enough, was it too raced. Give me those reviews guys I crave them like goats crave that certain mineral! But yeah please review, and subscribe if you like.
