Here is another chapter. Sorry for the chapters being out of order, but I've been a little lazy and busy so. Without further adu... let this chapter begin.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Spyro characters or any of Kingdom Hearts' charecters.
The next morning Riku woke up and noticed that he had wings and started to freak out. "Why do I have wings? How did I get them? And, How did I end up in this room?" While he was still freaking out, Liz, the head healer knocked on the door and came into the room.
"How are you doing this morning young master?" Asked Liz.
"Did you just call me master?" Riku asked. Liz only nodded and started to look over the laceration that was on Riku's left arm.
"That is a pretty serious injury. I'm not sure how you are still even conscious." Liz said after bandaging up the wound again.
"I guess I'm just a fast healer." Riku said
"Let me know if you need anything okay?"
"Ok. I need some water and I have to talk to the ones who are in charge of the city." Riku said after thinking a few seconds and noticing that he was extremely thirsty and that he still was on a mission.
"Alright then I'll be right back with the water and it might be a half hour to an hour before the guardians are available. What should I tell them?"
"Tell them that Riku has to talk to them when they have time."
****In Spyro and Cynder's Room****
"Hey Cynder. It's time to wake up." Spyro said
"Hey Spyro." Cynder said as she got up and stretched so she wouldn't have to deal with having to pop her vertebrae later.
"How did you sleep baby?" Spyro asked trying to help wake her up faster.
"You know how I sleep when I'm sleeping with you Spyro. But, I slept great." Cynder said as she snuggled up close to Spyro to get rid of the morning chill.
"I'm glad." Spyro said and pulled her into a hug and nuzzled her. Cynder felt what he was doing and cooed in satisfaction of being with the one who risked his life time and time again to save her. "I love you Cynder and that will never change. I promise that on my heart."
"It's the same thing for me too Spyro." Cynder said and kissed him on the cheek. Then their moment was spoiled when they heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Cynder asked expecting it to be one of the moles.
"Terrador."
"You might as well come in." Spyro said as he and Cynder just waited for the door to open.
"Actually, I just came by to tell you that Riku has woken up and he wants to talk to all of us. So, if you want to talk to him or ask some questions, then I would hurry." Terrador said.
"Well be there in a minute." Cynder said surprising Spyro.
"Alright." Terrador said and then they heard his footsteps fade.
Spyro just looked at Cynder and cleared his throat to get her attention away from the door. When she looked she saw that his eyes were full of worry. "Spyro, I'll be fine." Cynder told Spyro who continued to look at her until he turned toward the door and said they should get going.
"Alright Spy. Lets catch up to them." Cynder said as she got to her feet and started waling toward the door.
"Wait a second Cynder." Spyro said when she was about to open the door.
"What is it?"
"Are you sure that you want to be in the same room with Riku after what happened yesterday?" Spyro asked.
"As long as you are by my side this time, I should be fine." Cynder said as Spyro walked up to her.
"Alright lets go." Spyro said as he opened the door to their room.
****At Riku's Room****
"Should we wait a little longer?" Cyril asked after waiting in front of Riku's room for several minutes.
"Lets just get start talking to him." Volter said and turned to open the door when they heard Spyro and Cynder running toward them.
"Like making an entrance?" Terrador said when they reached the guardians.
"Yeah we do. Sorry about almost missing our entrance. I just wanted to make sure that Cynder was ok with being in the same room as Riku." Spyro explained.
"I was just surprised that he had the same design on his wings that are on me." Cynder said as an excuse.
"Well let's not keep him waiting." Spyro said.
"Agreed, shall we?" Terrador asked.
"We shall." Cyril and Volter said at the same time. They opened the door and saw that Riku was sitting on the bed staring out the window. He seemed not to notice their entrance. Spyro was about to say something but Riku turned around and smiled.
"Well I think introductions are in order since I wasn't able to do that yesterday." Riku stated plainly. "My name is Riku and you all would be?"
"Welcome to Warfang Riku My name is Terrador. I am the Guardian of earth." Terrador said.
"A welcome indeed. My name is Cyril. The guardian of ice." Cyril said with pride heavy in his voice.
"I am glad we have the chance to know someone like you Riku. My name is Volter and I'm the guardian of electricity." Volter said almost to fast for Riku to catch.
"Welcome to Warfang Riku, My name is Spyro and this is my mate Cynder." While Spyro was introducing himself and Cynder, Riku had his eyes focused on Cynder as if trying to read her mind.
"It's nice to meet you all. You are probably wondering why I wanted to speak with you huh?" Asked Riku who received nods from the group. "Well, I was wondering why you all decided to help me yesterday?" This question startled the group so bad, that nobody spoke for a few minutes.
"We helped you because you needed it." Spyro said.
"I knew you would say something like that Spyro, but I wish you wouldn't have helped me. Because of all of you helping me, the heartless will now want to try and capture your hearts." Riku said with sadness in his voice.
"Heartless?" Cynder asked as if she should know about what they are.
"The Heartless are beings who have lost their hearts to darkness. They feed by going around the worlds and collecting hearts that they take." Riku explained.
"And here I thought that Malefor was horrible." Cyril said
"So." Cynder started. "Since we helped you, those monsters are going to try and take our hearts?" Riku only nodded and sighed.
"Is there a way to stop them?" Spyro asked.
"There is and you are in luck that I hold the answer to that problem." Riku said.
"How can we defeat the Heartless?" Terrador asked. Riku only held out his hand and focused on summoning the weapon capable of destroying the Heartless. In a cloud of darkness the Keyblade appeared. When the darkness that surrounded the blade vanished, they were surprised to see the weapon they had seen him use only a day ago.
"What is that thing?" Volter asked looking at the weapon with a critical eye.
"This is called the Keyblade." Riku said matter-of -factly. "I call this Keyblade the Way to the Dawn because it represents how I still am; stuck between light and dark."
Everybody was looking at the Keyblade in total awe and saw that it was shaped like a wing with a smaller blue wing near the tip of the blade.
"Now I remember why you are familiar to me. You were there when Gaul used Malefor's power to corrupt me." Cynder thought to herself. "But, why are you here again and why don't I sense the darkness that I felt inside of you before?"
"I remember when I first started to wield this Keyblade. My reaction was the same as yours. But, what caught me by surprise; the same thing that I think is surprising you as well is the charm at the end of the chain." That drew everybody's attention to the end of the chain and they were shocked by what they saw.
"Is that what I think it is?" Spyro asked.
"Yeah. It is the mark of the Heartless." Riku stated.
"Hold on a second here. If your Keyblade has the mark of the Heartless, then wouldn't it have the same abilities as them?" Volter asked trying to understand the weapon.
"You actually have a really good question Volter. I never tried to see if it has the same qualities as the Heartless. But, since it is a half-dark and half-light Keyblade, I don't think it holds that power." Riku explained.
"Now I have a question." Cyril said.
"What is it?" Riku asked trying to guess what he was going to ask.
"How did you manage to arrive in this world?" Cyril asked throwing Riku off guard. Everybody noticed and looked at him with unwavering gazes.
"Well…"
