This 100 Song Theme challenge belongs to the awesome Bond Of Flame08, 100 little drabbles, each prompt is also a song title from the myriad of music in the Kingdom Hearts soundtracks. I own nothing, all Kingdom Hearts characters belong to Tetsuya Nomura and Square Enix, the music was primarily composed by Yoko Shimomura.

Author's Note: Ventus' reaction to his new world encounter. He struck me as a little exuberant, so I tried my best to portray him that way. Enjoy!


8. The Secret Whispers

Ventus traipsed through the forests of Dwarf Woodlands, taking in the scenery with excitement.

Wildflowers lay nestled in the grass, chipmunks and squirrels chattered, collecting acorns and berries for their stocks, rabbits scurried across pathways and foxes peeked out through their underground homes, sniffing the air for prey or predator.

As much as the blonde Keyblade Wielder enjoyed his home world, after six years, he felt he had explored every inch of the grassy, mountainous world at least ten times over.

This new world was begging to be traversed, new enemies to conquer and new friends to meet. He had already taken down a cluster of the Unversed, pleased to be testing his combat training on someone other that Terra or Aqua.

Approaching a rocky outcrop, Ven heard echoes of whispers coming from a glittering cavern, some humming, some complaining, and some chattering.

"Great! Maybe these guys have seen Terra! Or maybe I'll meet some new friends."

Ventus grinned, breaking into a sprint, eager for his new adventures to begin.
