It had been a few minutes since the couple tumbled into the old man's study and from what it seemed the boy was more relaxed. Sam sat in the only other chair in the room while who she knew as Master Yen Sid sat across from her. Her eyes darted to right, where the very small iconic mouse, Mickey stood by her side and behind him was his two loyal members of court, Donald Duck and Goofy. Nate stood to her left with a hand gently on her shoulder rubbing small circles, trying to calm her.
"Now, explain how you two have come to arrive here." The old master instituted, watching the two with careful eyes.
Sam nodded taking a nervous breath, still feeling a little sick from early.
"Nate and I came home after work and within minutes of being there, my old professor,Mr. Thomas showed up at my door. He began ranting about getting me to safety and finding the two other pieces and that's when he opened...well...well a portal. After trying to make a grab at me,Nate... well Nate punched him then he muttered something like 'Well at least I only need to find one piece now.' Before he shoved Nate into the portal and right before he went to push me in, a sound came from behind like another portal was opening but I didn't turn around. Then a new man started to talk about how Mr. Thomas lead him right to it and his voice was very familiar like I heard it before. Though before I could turn to see who is was Mr. Thomas apologized to me before pushing me in the portal and I think closed it for at that point we were kind of well stuck in that in between world before another portal appear that leads us here..." Sam explained wring her hands together nervously as the knot in her stomach jumped into her throat.
Nate watched her then looked at the old man who seemed to be studying her reaction to see if it was genuine.
"Oh golly, you think that fellow who came in after was working for that fellow,uhhh- Xenahort?" Donald finished for Goofy, who asked Master Yen Sid who stood and nodded.
"Yes but before I explain why,Mickey would you fetch Riku and his students. Donald,Goofy can you go and bring Sora as well,this is something all the guardians of light must hear." He directed toward the trio.
"Yes,Sir." The three chimed in unison before walking out of the room leaving the couple and the Magician alone.
"Wait,why don't you just explain it to us right now?" Nate asked looking at the old man confused.
"This information is not only going to give you the answers you seek but to the others as well, Nathaniel." Yen Sid respectfully responded walking toward the couple.
Sam's eyes darted up to met the man's whose seem to lighten up a bit from his normal hard ridden gaze. Yen sid gave a small smile before glancing at the boy who now was a step closer to Sam. He could see the light radiating from the boy as he made a move to protect the woman he loved.
All three set of eyes looked behind them as the door open and Mickey walked in with a tall,silver haired teenager who was giving a scowled look to a relaxed taller, redhead man whose arms were crossed over his chest.
"Where is young Kairi, Master Riku?" Yen Sid questioned looking at the young master, who was missing one of his pupils.
"She is training with Sora today, Master Yen Sid." Riku mentioned, his eyes focused the red headed girl in the chair and the black haired boy,who were both staring at him and Lea in amazement.
"Yeah, lucky Kairi,at least she gets a break from 'Mister train every minute of the day' over here." Lea remarked disgruntly, noticing the two new faces as well. "What you looking at, kid?"
Sam felt her face flush red before looking away down at her hands then turned back and gave him a perturbed look.
"Im not a kid, you idoit." She snapped back harshly at Lea.
A laugh erupted from him as he shrugged and leaned up against the wall. "Yeah right, you couldn't be anything else other than a child."
"Now Lea, that's not anyway to talk to someone you just met, let alone a lady." Mickey chimed in clearly not appreciating the redhead behavior.
"Uh oh, what's Lea gotten himself into this time?" A new voice chimed in, averting all the gazes toward the door.
Sam and Nate's gaze fell on to teenager who walked in, his iconic brown spiky hair gave his identity away to the two. A short, reddish purple haired girl trailed in behind the famous brunette who the newcomers also recognized right away.
"A lot more than he can handle I can tell you that now, Sora." Riku snickered glancing at the couple who was still intrigued with the arrival of Sora and Kairi.
"Hey, who are you two?" The brunette boy who was known as Sora asked glancing at the two new faces.
Sam felt her heart jump into her throat after her favorite video game character asked her such a simple question. Nate noticed Sam's sense of nervousness and responded for them both.
"I'm Nate and this is my girlfriend,Sam." Nate spoke up glancing at all the members in the group whose eyes were on them.
"Well I'm Sora,this is Kairi,that's Riku, and that is Lea." Sora replaying gesturing to everyone he pointed out.
"Nice to met you two, but I don't want to seem rude but why are you two here?" Riku asked glancing to Master Yen Sid.
"I will explain that now, Master Riku." Yen Sid mentioned turning to the window.
"Now as you four know,you are apart of the seven guardians of light and as for the other three we believed it was all Master Eraqus's lost pupils."
"Are you saying that either Aqua,Ven or Terra isn't one of the guardians of light?" Mickey interjected shocked to hear this from his master.
"Yes my friend,I know now that my assumation was wrong to begin with." Yen Sid replayed in a sad tone.
"What? So whose the seventh guardian?" Sora cried out shocked.
Yen Sid stayed silent as he turn and focus his gaze on the two new faces in the room. Sam frowned and looked up at Nate to notice he was just as confused as her.
"No way! You're telling me that, this little girl is a guardian?!" Lea questioned,doubtful that someone like her even knew how to fight.
"It is unwise to assume things,Lea. You would be wrong, the guardian of light is not Samantha but Nathaniel."
"What?!" Almost half the room cried out not including Riku or Lea who seemed to be relieved than shocked.
"Wait a minute, you're telling me Nate is a guardian of light?" Sam asked shocked, looking up at her boyfriend who seemed to be stunned by the new information about himself.
Yen Sid nodded before walked over to his desk and took a seat. "Yes ,from what I can observe his heart is strong and fill with much light."
"Well...this is a lot to take in." Nate sighed, leaning against the chair gently.
Sam looked up and took his hand before looking at Yen Sid,"So what happens now?"
"You both will start training alongside Lea with Master Riku." He continued, nodding at Riku who nodded back.
Sam glanced between both Riku and Yen Sid before questioning what she heard,"I'm sorry you said you both, does that mean I'll be training as while?"
The old man nodded, as the redheaded man groaned behind the group.
"B-But I don't know how to fight..." Sam stuttered out completely nervous about the thought of it.
"All will be well,Samantha. This training is for your own safety and I believe it is unwise for anyone not to know self protection, let alone a young lady like yourself." Yen Sid continued, just as Mickey stepped forward.
"Master Yen Sid is right and there is no harm in training,Sam." The mouse grinned softly at the couple.
Sam smiled back weakly before nodding,"Ok I guess you are right."
"Its decided then as of tomorrow you four will go to train in Radiant Garden, but before you two do you will need a change of clothes for your adventure." Yen Sid explained nodding to the young couple.
Sam nodded before looking at her boyfriend, who seemed to be trying to keep himself calm.
"Ok, where can we get that?" Nate questioned glancing at Sam who gave his hand a squeeze to reassure him, she was there.
"Kairi,Sora, and Lea would you introduce them to the three good fairies." The old man asked before turning to the couple,"They will help you get prepare for the journey to come along with your training."
"Of course, Master Yen Sid," Kairi responded, walking over to the couple with Sora in tow, who was giving them a comforting smile,"Follow me and we will get you all set."
Nate and Sam both nodded before Sam got to her feet and they both trailed after the young girl and the excited boy who started to ask them questions. The disgruntled red head glanced at Yen Sid before following the group with a grumble.
Once the door was closed behind the departing group, Mickey turned to Yen Sid asking a question that plagued his mind.
"Master Yen Sid, there is something more about them then the boy being a guardian of light, isn't there?"
The silver haired master nodded along with the thought of his friend,"Yes I sensed that too, there is something strange about that girl, Sam."
"You are very perspective, Master Riku. Yes there is an energy coming off of that young woman and her story does not add up." Yen Sid concluded glancing toward the door where the group just exited.
"What would you like to be done about that?" Riku questioned, having his own thoughts of what can be connected to this young girl.
"I'd like the both of you to observe how she trains and make me aware if you notice anything interesting about her heart." The old man requested from the young man and the King.
"Of course, Master Yen Sid." Mickey responding already taking note of a few things he had noticed about the young girl.
"Thank you both." Yen Sid nodded, before watching the two young keyblade wielders walked out to regroup the others.
The old man frowned and glanced down at the book on his desk,"We have yet to find this heart of the X-Blade, maybe she will be able to help."
