Hello, Val here with a friendly PSA! I wanted to let everyone know that this story may contain spoilers for some of the games not commonly known in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, such as Kingdom Hearts X[chi] Back Cover. I may reference things, such as in this prologue, but I have been very careful to stay vague and only state what was absolutely necessary. It does not reveal anything not already known so if you haven't played it yet there is no worries. I may also do the same for the other Kingdom Hearts games and when I do I shall put notices at the beginning of the chapter. Again, I shall not be revealing anything not already known to the fandom.

ALSO! I have a poll on my page regarding this story and its progress. Please go and vote!

Without further ado, here is my new prologue.

Prologue: The Fall of Kingdom Hearts

Long, long ago in the age of fairy tales the world was still one and light shone over all, protecting the land from darkness. The Master of Masters entrusted the world of light to five of his six apprentices and each formed their own Union and trained others in the Ways of the Keyblade. Each of the five Foretellers was given a Book of Prophecies by the Master of Masters which foretold the future of the world:

"On that fated land, a great war shall transpire. Darkness will prevail and the light expire."

The Master of Masters vanished, dimmed, and faded without a trace. Just as he wrote in his Book of Prophecies the Keyblade War raged and Kingdom Hearts was swallowed by the darkness, its light never to be seen again. The worlds were broken, scattered, and sealed off from one another, infested by the creatures of darkness called Heartless. Without the light of Kingdom Hearts it seemed that all the worlds were doomed to perish and fade into the darkness.

All was not lost, however, as the Keyblade wielders of exceptional light were scattered across the divided worlds and kept the hope of light alive. These Keyblade wielders fought the creatures of darkness and protected the denizens of the worlds.

However, it seemed that not all of the worlds were plagued by the Heartless. Many eons later a pure world free of the creatures of darkness would be discovered. Two friends would be thrusted amidst the battle for Kingdom Hearts as the sides of light and darkness begin to gather. What does fate have in store for these two friends?
