I've noticed that the link didn't work for some people, so I placed the picture on my profile, it's called 'Mermaid Marie'.
Chapter Twelve: Remembrance
It took me a while, but I managed to get the hang of swimming like a mermaid. Although I sometimes tend to forget to flip my fin when I need to, or to stroke. Gosh, mermaids have it hard.
"Good job," said Sebastian. "Now let's move on to self-defense."
"Sebastian!" Ariel cried out, I looked at her, and she was pointing at a couple of fish heartless heading our way. Great, heartless, even in the sea.
"Class is over," Sebastian swam at his utmost speed, getting away from the heartless. "Good luck!"
Sebastian and Founder his themselves under some giant clam, while Ariel went to hide somewhere else.
Sora swam and lunged his Keyblade at one of the heartless, and I, although not as perfectly, did the same. There weren't a lot of heartless to begin with, so we managed to kill them of quickly.
"Those creatures chased us," Ariel said.
"Oh, no!" exclaimed Sebastian. "Those monsters might be heading for the palace, too!"
"We'd better head back right away!" Ariel said.
Founder hesitated. "But, wh-what if we run into more on our way back?"
"I'm sorry," Ariel said, looking at us. "But we need your help. Please come to the palace with us."
"Alright," agreed Sora.
We swam all the way to the palace. We ran into some heartless, but it was nothing that we couldn't handle. However, we noticed some heartless chasing us. It didn't look like a lot, so I stopped, seeing if we could get rid of them.
Oh but, noooooo. It was a massively large group of heartless chasing us, and I struggled trying to stroke my fin. Luckily Sora grabbed my hand, and lead me to the king's throne.
We made it to the throne, but the heartless still chased us. Sora and I moved to the side, and all of a sudden, a bolt of lightning from a really old looking merman got rid of the heartless. All of them.
"That was too close," said the old man. "As long as I have my trident, I will not tolerate those creatures inside this palace."
"Daddy!" Ariel happily said.
"Oh Ariel," said Ariel's dad. "When will you listen? It's dangerous out there!"
"Strange creatures lurk outside," he said. Which made us feel a little uncomfortable.
Sebastian coughed. "Behold. You swim before the ruler of the sea: His Majesty, King Triton."
"And who are they?" asked Triton.
"They helped us fight off those creatures," answered Ariel. But he didn't look convinced.
"They don't look familiar," he said.
"We're from am ocean very far away," reassured Sora.
"Yup, we came to find the Keyhole," said Goofy. Oh no! Goofy! You're meddling!
"The what?" Triton asked.
"What's that?" asked Ariel.
"Well, it's a-"
"There's no such thing!" screamed Triton, which caused my to jump out of my skin."Certainly not here!"
"But, daddy-"
"Ariel, not another word!" Triton said. "You are not to leave the palace. Is that clear?"
Ariel grew angry, and left. We left after, no way am I staying in the same room with that man. When outside, Ariel looked at us. "Come to my grotto, I want to show you something. There is is, see?" she pointed to a small grotto, and so we left for there.
Once there, the sight was really pretty. There were so many wicked things on top of shelves, it was pretty neat.
"Look at all the wonderful things Flounder and I've collected," said Ariel. "I think it's from the outside world."
"Someday, I'm going to see what's out there. "I want to see other worlds. Does that sounds strange?"
"No, not at all," said Sora. Which is true, I mean, we're from the outside world. "I used to feel the same way," he finished.
"Used to?" Ariel asked.
"I mean.. I still do," Sora said, covering up his little screw up.
"Hey, why don't we try looking for that Keyhole you were talking about?" asked Ariel.
Sora looked at Donald, Goofy and then me. "But your father said-"
"Oh, he treats me like a little girl," she argued. "He never wants to let me do anything."
"He just...He just doesn't understand," he finished.
I got to thinking, I remember someone who was strict with me. But not as strict as Ariel's father. The man that I remember as being strict was the... kind strict. Yea, he would tell me not to do anything bad, and would always be polite about it.
I just can't remember who that was. I...really miss him.
I felt Sora grab my hand, and I looked at him. He was smiling at me, and Ariel was at the entrance, I guess we were leaving. I followed them as we left.
Ursula's Grotto
-x-
Ursula
"Those impudent fools will never find the Keyhole," said Ursula, looking at her cauldron. Sora, Marie and Ariel appeared from it. "But the girl could prove useful."
Ariel popped out of the cauldron, and her holograph stared at Ursula. "And I've got the heartless on my side."
"Triton, my old friend," he smiled. "Your day is coming."
Outside Ariel's Grotto
-x-
Marie
Sora and Ariel were talking about what they can do to find the Keyhole, Donald and Goofy were swimming around each other, and I was just floating. Until I noticed something.
"Whoa...," I said. I swam down to a half-open chest, and I opened it. I saw a crystal trident, and I picked it up.
"Hey!" I heard Ariel say from behind, which really, really, really freaked me out. "That looks like it could fit that trident indent I have in my grotto, let's go see if it fits!"
I nodded, and we swam back to Ariel's grotto. When we were there, I took out the crystal trident and placed it in the hole. It actually fit.
"Ariel, you've disobeyed me again!" I turned around and saw Triton standing next to the door..er..opening to Ariel's grotto. "I told you not to leave the palace!"
He gasped, and saw the trident on the wall. He took out his own trident, and it glowed. Now, when I see a glowing trident I know better than anyone else that I should MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!
"Daddy, no!" Ariel cried out. Triton broke the crystal trident, and soon Ariel began to whimper.
"How could you.." she said. She left the grotto soon afterward.
Triton looked from his daughter to us. "You two...You're not from another ocean. You're from another world. Aren't you?"
Both Sora and I gasped. How the heck did he know?
"Then you two must be the key bearer," he continued.
"How did you know?" I asked. I really hope he wouldn't yell or anything.
"You may fool Ariel," he said. "But you can't fool me. You don't know your dorsal fin from your tail."
My what now?
"As the key bearers, you must already know," he continued. "One must not meddle in the affairs of other worlds."
"Of course we know that, but.." Sora trailed off.
"You have violated this principle," he said. "The key bearers shatters peace and brings ruin."
"Aw, Sora and Marie aren't like that," protested Goofy.
"I thank you for saving my daughter," he said. "But there is no room in my ocean for you or your keys."
Sora took out his Keyblade, and stared at it. Shatters peace and brings ruin... I don't want to bring ruin to anyone, but I somehow feel like me being here is already a curse.
Gorge

Ariel
Ariel lay weeping on top of a rock, her father destroyed something so incredibly precious to her. All she could think was how horrible her father was, he never seemed to care much about Ariel's sense of adventure, and always treated her like a child. When will he see that she is not a child, but a woman yearning to learn everything there is to know?
"My, my, the poor child suffers such deep sorrow," said Flotsam, an eel who sides with Ursula.
"What a pity, if only there were something we could do," continued Jetsam, Flotsam's twin.
"Wait. Maybe she can be of some help," said Flotsam.
"Yes. Maybe she can be of some help to you," continued Jetsam.
"Who're you talking about?" asked Ariel, a little suspicious of the two, but sounding a little interested.
"Oh, she would surely help you," Flotsam floated above Ariel. "She'd make all your dreams come true."
Flotsam and Jetsam swam above Ariel, and got higher and higher until a black smoke appeared. "Ursula can help," they both said in Unison as they disappeared.
Then all of a sudden, Ursula appeared in front of Ariel. "You called, my dear?"
"You're Ursula? I was just wondering if—"
"It's all right," interrupted Ursula. "Helping others is what I live for."
"Let me guess," she turned to Ariel. "You wish to see other worlds. That shouldn't be too hard."
"After all," she continued. "Your new friends came from another world."
"What?" Ariel asked, suddenly surprised.
"But they had special help-" Ursula sniggered. "Those mysterious keys."
"Now, now," cheered Ursula. "Cheer up, sweetie."
"You have something special, too," she smiled. "Now listen carefully."
Radiant Garden
the past
-x-
Marie
When Xehanort had successfully created his army of heartless, and even sunk so deep into darkness that he himself turned into a heartless. He was able to retain his self-hood for uncertain reasons, which made him more dangerous.
As he was about to leave to pursue other worlds to consume, he realized that Marie was still held captive by her own coma.
He figured that she was useless now, and not wanting to carry deadweight, he decided to dispose of her. However, the same heart that glowed on her forehead before appeared. This glow was different, and it engulfed him, sending him into Marie's subconscious.
He opened his eyes, and floated above many memories that Marie had, one of them involved her home, the Destiny islands. When the memories stopped, he was facing Ansem, or at least, the image of Ansem. He did not speak nor took any action against Xehanort.
In fact, Ansem started to change into a young man, with a darker shade of blonde hair, and brown eyes. He stood there smiling.
Another person appeared behind the young man, and she had blue hair and blue eyes. Xehanort felt like he knew this person, as if she was his 'friend'. He frowned as she began to change in appearance, her hair changed into the colour of brown, and was longer. Her eye colour was the same though.
She started to smile as well, and soon, Marie appeared in between the two of them.
"Dustin, Stella," she said. "You two are the best brother and sister I could ever have!"
this scene quickly disappeared, as another appeared. And this scene, changed everything for Xehanort.
He was in this scene, standing in front of a giant door.
A young boy with brown hair and blue eyes stood in between a duck and a dog, the young boy was wielding a Keyblade. He was shouting at Xehanort not to open the door, but Xehanort obviously did not listen. He opened the door, and darkness filled him. He was able to destroy the young Keyblade wielder and his companions, and soon enough he was filled with incredible power.
Immediately, he was drawn back to Radiant Garden. Xehanort smirked evilly, this girl was proving useful again. He had to return the gift, so he left Marie inside the castle to die. It was a fitting gift, he thought.
As he left Radiant Garden, a barrier of light surrounded Marie, protecting her from any darkness or evil.
Kingdom Hearts. It is the heart of everything. It truly is a mysterious place, as it is a mysterious being. Being the heart of everything, it can also see in the future. What Xehanort saw in Marie's dream was nothing but a false vision of the future, tricking him into believing that he would gain complete power.
While in her coma, Marie had been placed in a recovery mode to recover the power that the late Xehanort stole when transferring his heart into Terra's body. Everything that she was dreaming was just a fabrication. A lie. A false vision.
Kingdom Hearts had purposely produced Marie's dream, half from her own memories, and the rest was an alternate future that Kingdom Hearts created. Dustin and Stella were manifestations of Ansem and Aqua, Canada was the manifestation of Radiant Garden and Destiny Islands. And of course, her friends Terra and Ella were also just manifestations of Riku and Cid.
None of those existed, and when Marie recovers from her coma, everything that she has dreamed of will be forgotten. In the end...all dreams are forgotten once you wake up.
Triton's throne
-x-
Ariel and Ursula
Ursula told Ariel that the Keyhole Sora and Marie were looking for was somewhere in the palace. She asked Ariel to take her to the palace without Triton knowing, and in return, she would help Ariel get to the other worlds she wanted to go.
However, her real intentions weren't so kind. Her real intention was Triton's trident.
Triton's palace
-x-
Marie
We went to the palace to see if Ariel was there, since she was the king's daughter, so we could cheer her up. When we made it to the palace we were met with a huge, ugly, looking octopus. And I really mean ugly.
"Why, we have company," said the ugly octopus. "I'm afraid you're a little late, handsome!"
…...Did she just call Sora handsome?
"Daddy!" I heard Ariel cry out for her father.
"The trident," he said, although weakly. "We must get it back."
"Come on, let's go!" exclaimed Sora. He swam for the entrance, but Ariel stopped him. "Wait, I'm going with you!" she said.
"My father is hurt and it's all my fault," she continued. "I have to stop Ursula!"
Sora nodded, and then I heard Sebastian talk. "That's right. I'm right behind you, Ariel!"
Before leaving, Triton told us that in order to stop Ursula we have to strike her cauldron with magic. Easy-peasy!
We managed to make it to Ursula's lair, although we had to kill a really huge shark to get to her. When we swam, we saw a lot of...sad looking things lying on the floor. It freaked me out, but I felt so bad for these things.
Anyway, we made it inside, and we saw Ursula hiding in her chair.
"Come out!" yelled Donald. "You can't run!"
"Your time has come!" yelled Sebastian right after.
When Ursula came out, she looked even more hideous. Donald and Sebastian screamed when they saw her, and I kinda laughed to myself.
Almost immediately, she threw a potion in her cauldron, and started attacking us with Triton's trident. We dodged, and Sora started attacking, I swam over to the cauldron and started striking it with magic. Donald also help and in soon time we managed to take down Ursula.
Her two eel sidekicks disappeared into darkness, and Ursula gasped. "You'll pay for this!" she yelled. She then left, and we followed close behind.
When we reached her, she was wearing a crown and had the trident. "You pathetic fools! I rule the seas now!"
As she raised the trident, she started getting bigger and bigger and bigger. "The seas and all it's spoils bow to my power!"
When she was done getting bigger, her face was really all I was able to see. It was that huge. Sora attacked first, as always. Ariel focused on healing us, Donald and Goofy were doing their own thing.
I was about to attack, but Ursula looked straight at me, and fired a spell at me. I flew away a few, but I recovered fine. But then she fired yet another spell, and this one knocked me out good. The last thing I remember seeing was Sora swimming towards me.
Marie's subconscious
Oh great, this place again. What fun. What will you show me today, oh wondrous subconscious of mine?
I stood in complete light, and nothing popped up. I sighed, this was really getting on my nerves. I turned around, and suddenly, a force of light hit me. Images and scenes were suddenly filled in my head, and my body began to glow.
I suddenly began to remember things. Things like Cid, and...
Riku.
Fight Ursula
-x-
Sora
Marie was falling slowly down to the bottom of the sea, and Sora was trying his best to get to her.
But Ursula was making that difficult for him.
She kept on casting her spells towards Sora, preventing him from swimming towards Marie. He grew utterly angry with her, and just wanted to end it all in an instant. He sighed desperately, he was going to have to deal with Ursula while Ariel tended to Marie.
"Ariel!" shouted Sora. "Take care of Marie!"
Ariel nodded, and she swam to Marie's side. She held her up from behind so she would fall any lower, and so far everything was going well. Sora had managed to block a few attacks, while Donald and Goofy were backing him up.
"Oh,"Ariel said. "I hope you're okay, Marie."
Just than, Ursula had attacked Sora quite heavily, and he had to step back a a bit. He was in a bit of pain, but Ariel couldn't heal him, for she was busy holding Marie. And Ursula didn't give Donald a chance to heal.
Marie's forehead began to glow, and Ariel noticed. A small heart appeared, and then her whole body began to glow. Sora saw from the side that Marie was rising, and her Keyblade faced Ursula. A ray of light came from the blade, and it engulfed Ursula. She fell to her doom soon afterward.
Sora swam towards Marie, catching her as she floated down. She still wasn't waking up, and this was making Sora nervous.
The trident appeared after Ursula disappeared, and Ariel went to grab it. Sora still had Marie in his hands.
Marie's Subconscious
I began to remember my friendship with Riku, like how we met, and all the fun times we had together. Really, I felt so happy knowing about these memories. Now, finally, I can tell Riku I remember! Finally, I can tell him I'm truly sorry for being a horrible friend.
But other than remembering about Riku, I remember the friendship that I had with Cid, I also can't wait to tell him about that. I also remember about Aqua, and Ansem, although some things about them are a bit hazy.
I still can't remember where I was when I was with Ansem, or Riku, those places are a blur to me. But the main things that I remembered right now was Riku, Cid, Aqua and Ansem. Flashbacks of them appeared, and then I saw a light. I heard someone calling for me, and then everything just blacked out.
Triton's palace
-x-
Marie
"Marie!" I heard Sora call out.
I opened my eyes, and my shoulder started to hurt. I looked around, and I was in Triton's palace.
"Ow, my shoulder," I grumbled. I began to rub my shoulder, and I looked up and I saw Sora. He looked beyond worried and concerned, and I started feeling guilty.
"I'm alright," I said. "Ursula got me bad, didn't she?" I began to laugh nervously.
Ariel jumped in between Sora and I, and she looked really happy. "We found the Keyhole! It's in my grotto!"
"Great," I said. I got up from the clam-like bed and swam to the exit. "Let's go!"
As we were swimming there, Sora swam beside me. Goofy, Donald and Ariel were swimming a little ahead of us, so this would be the perfect time to tell Sora.
"I remember Riku," I said. Sora stopped, and looked at me with surprise. He began swimming again, as he didn't want to cause a scene or stop the rest of the gang.
"Was it that attack that made you remember?" he asked.
"I think Ursula knocked some memories in me," I laughed. "I should really thank her."
"It was weird," he said. "Right when Ursula hit me with her magic, you knocked her out."
"Really!" I happily and excitedly asked. "Well, geez. How did I do that?"
"Your body was glowing, and then your Keyblade came out," he said, using his hands for dramatic effects. "And then light came out of the Keyblade and knocked her out."
"Cool," I said. Although I didn't really understand how I did it while I was knocked out, but I did feel that Sora was in danger. Maybe that was it?
Well, we made it to Ariel's grotto, and when we reached the center the trident that Ariel had began to glow. It faced the trident insignia and the crystal that Triton broke before appeared. A lot of bubbles came out of the center, and then a Keyhole appeared on top of the trident. My Keyblade came out and I faced it towards the Keyhole, Sora also took out his, and then we both sealed it.
"Tell me, Sora, Marie," Ariel came towards us. "Your worlds, what's it like?"
"Oh, about that..." Sora looked at Ariel. "Sorry for lying to you."
"It's okay," she smiled. "Besides, if you can travel to other worlds, maybe I can, too."
She started swimming higher in her grotto, and looked up at the sky that was visible at the top. "So many places I want to see...I know I'll get there someday."
"I'll find a way somehow," she said. "I'm sure of it."
Ariel sure was adventurous. It made me smile, because I remember being that adventurous with Riku. That also made me smile, that fact that I could remember.
"Well, if you find it," we heard Sebastian say. "Do me a favour and leave me out of it."
I started laughing, and Sora, Donald, Goofy and I said our farewells. Although I hated saying goodbye to people I'll never see again, I was excited to see what the next world had in stores.
When we headed back to the gummi ship, Donald was all ready to head to the next world. I wanted to go to but...I wanted to see Cid.
"Can we make a stop at Traverse Town?" I asked. Donald looked at me angrily. "No! We have to find the King!" he yelled.
"Aw, come on," I whined. "I'll just be for a while!"
"NO!"
"Next stop: Traverse Town!" announced Sora as he took control of the steering wheel.
"Sora!" shouted Donald. "What are you doing? We need to find the King!"
"Yea but we need to re-stock," he said. "And I need to get something."
I heard Goofy giggling, and Donald and I gave both of them confusing and suspicious looks.
Atlantica
Marie's unconsciousness
-x-
Sora and Goofy
How about this?" asked Sora. He was looking at a bunch of necklaces that a street vendor near Triton's palace was selling. Sora was thinking of getting Marie something to remember him when their adventure ended. He asked Goofy to come along instead of Donald, mainly because Donald was yelling that they needed to find the King as soon as possible.
Marie was still unconscious, but Triton assured that she would wake up soon. Sora was thinking about their adventure at that time, and initially, Sora didn't want to leave Marie. But he knew that they're going to, so he wanted to give her a remembrance present, so she wouldn't forget him.
"I dunno, Sora," said Goofy. "It doesn't really suit Marie."
Sora looked at the snail necklace. "Yeah, you're right."
Sora sighed out of frustration, picking out a gift for a girl was possibly the hardest thing to do.
He felt like all the necklaces for sale seemed nice enough, but Goofy insisted that he should keep looking.
Goofy noticed Sora's frustration, and decided to say something. "Gee, Sora. Why don't you give her the necklace you have?"
Sora gave him a questioning look, until he remembered the crown necklace that he wears. Of course, since he wore that necklace all the time, Marie would surely remember him if he gave it to her. But he really liked the necklace, because it looked so cool. "But it's so cool-looking," he said.
"Then why don't you make a copy?" asked Goofy. Sora smiled, Goofy was very smart, regardless of what Donald or anyone said. He knew the perfect person who could make a copy of it, and that was Leon.
"Okay, we'll go to Traverse Town after this," Sora smiled, and raced back to Marie.
Traverse Town
-x-
Marie
So we made it to Traverse Town, and Donald shouted and yelled in anger as we made it here. Geez, I'm sure the King can handle himself, so calm down.
"Uhh," I heard Sora say. "I'll be right back. I gotta go talk to Leon about something."
He was acting a bit suspicious, but I ignored it. I had to talk to Cid about something as well. "I'll be right back as well," I said, and then I left.
It was a good thing that Cid wasn't too far away from the entrance, because I didn't feel like walking much. I saw him standing, as he was checking out some gummi pieces.
"You always did find flying to be cool or something," I said as I walked beside Cid. "I don't know about you Cid, but I wanna be friends again, like we were back home."
Cid turned around and looked at me, he looked puzzled a bit. "What're you talking about?" he said. Okay, I think I needed to explain.
"Don't you remember a little girl back where you were from?" I said, and I realized I wasn't making much sense since I don't remember the world where Cid and I met. "I don't remember everything, but I do remember us being friends. The first time we met, I bumped into you."
"Huh," was all Cid could say. And then it hit him. "OHHH, you're that Marie?"
I face palmed. I guess the older you get, the more you forget.
Traverse Town
-x-
Sora
"Leon!" shouted Sora, running towards the small house Leon, Aerith, and Yuffie occupied. "Leeeooooonnnnnn!"
Sora slammed the door opened, and looked around while catching his breath. "Leon! Leon! I need your help!"
Leon turned around, and quickly took out his Gunblade. He faced Sora and stood in his fighting position.
"What's wrong? Are there heartless around?" he said, while griping his sword tighter.
"Uh, no," he said. "I need your helping making a copy of this."
Sora took off his necklace, and took out the crown from the chain. He waved it in front of Leon so that he could see.
"Wow, Leon," Yuffie said. "You're thinking waay too much on the heartless."
Leon rubbed his forehead, and grabbed the crown. "Why do you need a copy of this?"
"Uhh," Sora didn't want to say anything, especially in front of another girl like Yuffie. "I just need a copy."
Yuffie noticed Sora blushing a little, and curiosity got the best of her. "Aw, come on. What's it really for? Ooh! Is it for a girl? Oh! Is it for Marie!"
Sora opened his mouth, but words didn't come out, Yuffie had asked too many questions. He laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head.
"Oh my gosh!" she yelped. "It is for Marie! So does this mean you two are dating? You're not being a bad boyfriend are you? Ooooohh! I have to call Aerith, she'll want to know this! we'll give you some tips on being a better boyfriend!"
Yuffie grabbed Sora's hand and they both left to find Aerith. Leon looked at the two leave, and a smirk appeared on his face. He looked at the crown, and proceeded to work on the copy.
Traverse Town

Marie
"Hollow Bastion?" I asked.
"Yep," he said, flicking his toothpick. "That's the name of our home. It's a shame that it's all ruined now."
"And Ansem...?" I asked.
"Ah, well," he said. "My guess is he didn't make it out safely."
My heart sank. So Ansem...Died? I was hoping to have a word with him, hoping to catch up from where we left. Hoping to call him 'brother' again. But..
"Aw, don't be sad," he said. "Maybe he isn't dead, who knows? But what's important is that you made it out alive from Hollow Bastion. Do you remember how you even escaped?"
I looked at Cid, and tried to remember. But I was only able to draw blanks, so I shook my head. I heard Cid sigh, and then he patted my back.
"It'll come to you someday, kid."
Hollow Bastion: the past
-x-
Marie
For ten years, Marie had been in a coma.
In ten years, so much has happened.
Xehanort, who now sported the name Ansem, had contacted Maleficent and now she was helping Ansem gain ultimate power. Although, she wanted some for herself as well. She had invaded Radiant Garden, now called Hollow Bastion, and all of the citizens had either lost their hearts, or managed to escape.
Maleficent did look around the castle, and noticed a young girl sleeping in a room covered by a barrier of light. She questioned what a girl like her was doing here, and when she noticed the barrier made from light, she automatically assumed she was one of the seven maidens.
However, there were reports on a nearby table, and it was labeled with the name 'Marie'. When Maleficent read it, she smirked. The report had been about how Marie was dreaming Ansem's success. She decided to keep the papers.
Somewhere else, Ansem had been reading a reports as well. Except this report was very old, and the author's name was illegible. But the context in the report forced Ansem to take immediate action.
The report was about Marie, and it was written by Xehanort from ten years ago. He stated in the report that Marie was the incarnation of Kingdom Hearts, it read that she was the ultimate key to opening the Kingdom Hearts. The report had also stated that if Marie was to lose even a small dose of power, she would need to go in recovery. During this recovery anything that she dreams or thinks of will be forgotten upon waking up.
Ansem grew anxious, and quickly tried to figure out a way to make Marie wake up early. When he thought back on her dream, he realized that she was from the same world as the princess of pure hearts, and the Keyblade wielder.
He guessed that if she was able to sense the loss of Ansem the Wise, then she would surely sense the loss of her own home, thus causing her to wake up.
And his guess was entirely true.
By the time that Sora and Marie's world was being consumed by the darkness, Marie's heart had responded to her home. And more importantly, to Sora's own heart. The simple drawing that Marie started and with Sora finishing it had a great impact on her heart.
The Paopu fruit drawing did indeed connect their destinies together, and Marie was able to sense the sadness in Sora's heart, and his plea for help. Her body began to glow, and the heart appeared on her forehead.
Kingdom Hearts had begun to erase the dream that Marie was having, however, since she awoke before her expected waking, it did not have enough time erasing her dream before waking up. She was sent to Traverse Town, and already begun her journey. Kingdom Hearts had to take drastic measures, and so begun to erase her memories along with her dream. She was not to find out about the dream, and she would have to try and remember her memories along the way.
Alright, so a lot has happened in this chapter.
You found out how Marie was really sent to Traverse Town, and you found out why she was forgetting everything.
And now you know that both her heart and Sora's are connected to each other.
If you guys still feel confused please tell me, and I'll explain more as I write more.
Thank yous!

XxI-Stole-Your-CookiexX:
Thank you! I needed to add some humour to cover up the angst and mystery xD
They will kiss soon, don't worry xD I'm just thinking how they will kiss.
Lele-the-Greek-Geek:
Yes, Riku is very unfair.
And Marie isn't usually one to apologize, but when she really feels the need to, she will.
Marie was a troublemaker when she was young. :D I love it!
Yeah, I'm concerned for my uncle, and by now I've forgotten about my ex, I have too many things on my plate already.
Alexandria Volturi:
Yes, Re: Chain of memories will be very intense. I doubt there will be any funny moments when I write it.
And aww! I hate writer's block. Don't worry, just try reading some stories, or listen to music! That usually helps me out of my blocks!
sajere1:
No that's not a stupid question xD
Kairi is still a Keyblade wielder, the only difference is that her inheritance was accidental with Aqua. Marie's was intentional.
And I won't, I'll leave it. But I can't think of anything to describe the outfit, so I'll let you guys think of one when that world comes. I'll just describe her make-up and wings.
Yeah the link sucks, but I posted a link on my profile so you guys can check it out. And yes! It'll make things very interesting.
And don't worry, Marie will have someone. She won't be a nobody, but I assure you she will know organization 13.

Aw, to be honest I was thinking of making it into a Roxas/Marie story. But my brain was assploding as I couldn't figure how I would write about that. And the I thought about Riku, but then I would have most likely made the story very dark.
I'm actually a Riku/Namine fan myself so...Rine?

I'm glad you like the story! And I hope this clears some things, if not just tell me! XD
