Have quite a long chapter with a lot of developments. So without further ado, I'll leave you to read the chapter.

Chapter 37

Seer of the Seas

When Sora had woken up on the Highwind the next day, Luna was nowhere to be found. He, Jiminy and Kupopo had searched the entire ship to make sure before giving up. Concerned for her safety, the three headed down to Thebes and made their way to the Coliseum. For Kupopo it was his first time being in another world from his old one and he took great joy in expressing his enthusiasm to the other two though they weren't really listening, far too preoccupied with the missing girl.

They exited the town and made their way down the dry path. They did not have to travel long before they saw exactly where Luna was. She was heading towards them at a jogging pace while carrying the luggage which she had been chuffed at for the past three days. Her smile met Sora's as she increased her pace slightly and headed up the hill to meet them.

"Where were you Luna? We were worried sick about ya? Did Phil really make you carry that entire baggage of luggage this early in the morning?" Jiminy asked for both him and Sora.

"No, I asked for it myself. I've decided that I need to make the most of the time I have training here so I might as well give it my all," Luna said while trying to catch her breath, "sorry guys, but I really need to get back to this. I'll meet you back at the coliseum."

Sora looked at her suspiciously, "You sure you're okay?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" Luna asked in a curious manner as she started to jog on the spot with much efficacy.

Sora scratched his head, "You seem… Nah, forget it. Go on ahead before you collapse then." He gave her two thumbs-up watching her confusion slowly transition to a smile before waving and starting back down the path to the city.

"You think Phil said something to her? She seems entirely different to yesterday." Sora voiced his thoughts aloud.

"That's possible. We were heading in that direction anyway so maybe we should go and find out?" Jiminy suggested. Sora nodded and the three continued off in the direction to the coliseum. They entered the gates to find Phil at the entrance looking around for something. Phil's eyes didn't seem to move from the ground as Sora walked up to him. In addition, he seemed to be mumbling about something however it was so incoherent that Sora was only able to pick up a few words here and there. The boy had to clear his throat loudly for Phil to take notice of him.

"Oh Sora, no time to talk. Have you seen my luggage around? It's missing." Phil continued to patrol the area he seemed interested in around in circles.

Sora looked to Jiminy and Kupopo, "Huh? Didn't you just give it Luna a few moments ago?"

"Luna? What does she- Wait! Are you saying she had something to do with this?" Phil asked.

"Wait? You didn't know? Then that means…" Sora paused for a while before laughing, "Oh she's good. I guess this makes up for me swiping her journal of her when she wasn't looking." He crossed his legs and put his hands to the back of his head while sporting a whimsical grin on his face.

Over the next few days, Luna practised more than she ever had before. On one side, Luna was still her normal self, spending time with Sora, Jiminy, Kupopo, Meg and Herc having fun with them. Even when she was training, Luna never took herself too seriously and would always put others before herself. On the other hand, Luna no longer felt she was being held back by Phil's rhetoric during training and often found herself motivated by it more than bored. In her last days of jogging while lifting his luggage, Luna had found that the luggage had not been as heavy as she had initially perceived. It was almost as if letting go of her conscious and awareness that the bags had been heavy had made it feel as if they weren't actually heavy. She could feel herself getting lighter and being able to conserve more energy as she ran through the streets of Thebes and back no longer feeling embarrassed about having to carry luggage around. She felt less conscious of herself and more of her surroundings and destination which possibly factored into the developed lack of embarrassment.

Eventually she discarded the luggage and took to jogging without it. Being able to go for longer periods of times was beneficial for her and her next piece of training. Phil had set up an obstacle course within one of the training areas of the Coliseum which was partitioned by a wall to separate it from the rest of the areas.

"We'll see how quickly you can get through this. I'll time you and we'll see what we can do to improve at the end." Phil instructed to Luna as she and Meg look around at the course.

"You've done it again goat-boy." Meg praised looking around quite pleased. The course was filled with rings, poles stuck into the ground and the wall, baby-like cupid statues which Phil had told them fired off arrows[1], 12-foot walls with smooth pebbles attached to them that could be climbed and ropes that needed to be swung across. On top of that there were platforms of different levels which Luna would have to jump from.

"This is rather hardcore," Luna commented. She felt like re-energized battery at the moment, "But I should be able to do it. Okay, begin the timer."

Phil blew the whistle and Luna rushed off towards the course jumping up onto the platforms quickly. A cupid shot an arrow at Luna but she ducked to avoid it feeling no need to use her Keyblade in order to deflect the shot. The cupid continued to shoot but she had no time to see where the shots landed, she only knew that they were somewhere behind her. She jumped for the rope and swung onto another platform landing rather clumsily at the edge of it but quickly regaining her balance and continuing. She saw a ring up ahead with its support stuck into the ground and smiling, Luna ran at it with full speed to help make up the time. She rolled through the ring with ease only to be surprised by a giant punching bag flying towards her which most likely had been set off as a trap when she had touched something, though she had no idea what unless Phil was the one actually controlling it. Instinctively, she placed her hands in front of her and took the blow which had been powerful enough to knock her onto the ground.

Of course you wouldn't tell me about the traps Phil. Luna gritted her teeth and got back up before running but at a slower pace than usual. She soon got to the polls stuck in the ground along with a sign next to them which read in bold and rather bad handwriting: "DO NOT TOUCH". Luna angled herself so she was between the first two poles and slid in, trying to maneuver through the rest of the poles. She emerged on the other side to see two of the cupids shooting arrows directly at her from up ahead. She dodged to the side to avoid the attacks and when she was close slid behind them with the help of her sliding dash before jumping high up onto the next platform.

"Doing pretty well so far." She said to herself as she came up on the first of the 12-foot walls. She jumped high and grabbed on to the large pebbles and started climbing. Finally making it over the wall she continued on to where there was a pole sticking out from the wall. She executed a dive over the pole and finished with a roll. Almost immediately she rolled again to avoid another swinging trap. Looking behind her she finally saw what it was that had sprung the trap. Attached from the ground heading straight to the wall was a piece of string, quite invisible to the naked eye unless you were intentionally looking for it.

Luna grinned and raced to the finish line. She climbed over the second wall quickly and slid under another pole in the wall. More cupid arrows surrounded her but she was too fast for their arrows and soon she jumped just being able to catch the last platform with her right hand. She heaved herself up with her other hand and moved in between more poles before crossing the finishing line. Phil blew the whistle once again and Luna made her way over to him and Megara.

"So, how did I do?" Luna accepted the flask full of water Meg had given her and took a swig.

"Not bad for a first run. But…"

"It could be better," Luna finished off Phil's hanging sentence and nodded. "I know that, so let me try again."

Meg's eyes widened at the Luna's determination, "Don't you want to take a rest first?"

The brunette shook her head, "I'm not tired. I feel better than ever actually. So let's try again." She handed the flask back to Meg and crouched down. Now that she had an idea of what the course entailed she could plan it out in more detail and do even better.

"Okay, if you think you can…" Phil trailed off and placed the whistle in his mouth.

The week progressed further and after a rather rocky start, Luna was proud to say that she enjoyed the challenges that Phil was giving her. As the Games neared ever closer, Luna felt herself getting better with her skills. In the evenings Sora trained her to learn the Gravity spell, a rather complicated one which, even with Luna's intense training, took a lot of energy out of her. It was a hard spell to execute and there wasn't any simple way to see what effect the spell had until the Games had as using it on someone was out of the option. Sora had told her that it was mainly for use of aerial enemies though if she ran out of magic to use quickly. Luna therefore resorted to practicing her other magic primarily in her own time while she focused on Gravity with Sora.

With her fire magic, she had finally learned to form a rotating ring of flames around her much like Sora's magic though it still seemed significantly weaker than his. Even so, she knew it would be useful at least as a defensive method by fending of enemies that were closing in. As for other spells, she hadn't really gotten to practicing them mainly because she had been too drained by her jogging, the obstacle course and learning the Gravity spell.

The second week came quite quickly and Sora had been anticipating it with much glee. The reason for this had been Herc announcing the day before that he had been invited to come along with the muscle-bound hero to Mt Olympus where the gods resided. The way Herc had talked about it made it seem like a very rare occasion to Sora. Supposedly, not that many had made it to the top to even be able to relive the tale of meeting such highly appreciated figures to their friends and family. Hercules was different as he was a demigod so it begged the question as to why the gods wanted to see Sora.

"You ready hero?" Herc asked pulling off his trademark smirk.

"Of course, but why can't Luna come?" Sora asked as he looked to the girl who was right next to him.

"They specifically requested you. Let's just say the gods up on Olympus are picky about who they choose." Herc answered.

"Don't worry Sora. I'll be hanging out with Meg and Phil here. At least you have Herc and Jiminy as company." Luna said a little disappointed. Jiminy had been able to easily tag along because of his miniscule size and Luna was counting on the cricket to make sure that Sora didn't do anything too rash in case he got into trouble along the way.

"Okay, we'll be back as soon as we can okay?" Sora waved to Luna before setting off. He felt as he turned away from her, that Luna had more to say but she didn't seem to press any further. Whether it was if she had had another strange dream which she wanted to discuss or not it wasn't as if he couldn't ask her about it when he came back so as he walked away from her with Hercules he looked back and silently mouthed, "We'll talk later." She seemed to understand for she nodded her head and gave a weak smile.

"So, how long will it take to get there?" he asked Herc as he breathed in the early morning air after leaving past the coliseum gates. He couldn't exactly describe it but there was always something different about the air and the atmosphere when in the coliseum as juxtaposed to being outside of it. It was like it was an entirely different world.

"Shouldn't be too long. I would say an hour…" Hercules vaguely guessed as he stopped walking. Sora didn't have to express his confusion aloud for Herc to know what he was thinking, "We're waiting for Pegasus." He had answered at least two of the thoughts Sora had circulating in his mind. He had not seen the flying horse for two days.

Sora gave an understanding nod and looked up into the sky. Of course that only made sense from what Herc had described of Mount Olympus. Sora felt slightly stupid for even thinking that they would have travelled there by foot only to have to scale a monstrously high mountain right after.

Sora was about to break the short amount of silence when Pegasus appeared in full view heading from the direction of the city towards them. He seemed to trot with nimbleness whilst in the air and chose not to abandon this as he landed swiftly on the ground not too far away from Sora and Herc.

"Hope you're not afraid of flying horses." said Herc giving Sora a slap on the back.

"Are you kidding me? How hard can flying on a horse's back be?" Sora laughed off his nerves. He had handled a Jabberwocky before, so he was sure he could do this. It turned out he was quite wrong.

The first mistake he had made was comparing it to a large dragon, which had a wider surface area and which Sora could easily hold onto. Pegasus, as it should be most obvious to the average eye, was a horse. Not only that but he had to share this small space along with Herc. The second mistake he had made was laughing it off with mock confidence. Pegasus seemed to have mistranslated this as a challenge and pushed forwards gradually increasing his speed by the second. The wind slapped against Sora's face as he struggled to hang on to the horse for dear life.

"Hey, do you think you can tell this thing to go a little slower." said Sora who was afraid if he talked much more he would puke.

"Sorry, what did you say? I can't here you." shouted Herc above the sound of the wind.

"I said, do you think you can tell this thing to go a little slower." demanded Sora a little more loudly.

"Ah. Hey Pegasus, mind slowing down a bit?" The horse looked around to his friend before following Hercules' orders.

"Finally! I couldn't hear myself think the whole time." complained Sora gruffly.

"I thought you said you weren't afraid Sora?" Herc asked with the slightest hint of triumph in his voice. Had Pegasus and Herc been conspiring against him? Sora gave a minor grunt of annoyance and instead looked down. Below him was a mix of green and brown as Pegasus flew over the countryside and left behind in the distance was the large city of Thebes. The fields took them all the way to a trench which when followed ended by a river seeming to stretch on for many miles.

The wind against his face actually felt nice when not going at an insane speed, Sora had found. He closed his eyes and envisioned being back at the islands and lying down on the shore while taking in the familiar smell of the ocean as the waves gently lapped against one another. Thinking about it now he truly did wish that Luna could see it. If there was anywhere he wanted to take her before she went back to her home, it would be his own. He could imagine the smile on her face as she raced along with him, Riku and Kairi under the bridge and to the other side of the island, with Donald, Goofy and the King cheering them on as they did so. They could even eat Kairi's homemade Ice Cream on the Paopu tree while watching the sun transform both the sky and water revealing its beautiful orange glow. Sora had only seen a sunset as great as that in Twilight Town which he had also promised to take Luna in order to meet Namine and the rest of his friends.

Sora opened his eyes. The image was slowly fading and his hopes along with it. His islands were gone. His favourite spots, friends and family had disappeared, only existing now in his memories. He wasn't going pressure Luna into helping him get his islands back when she had lost something of her own and if she returned to her home before he could bring back his islands and show her them–

"Sora. Are you even listening?"

Sora snapped out of his thoughts in such a prompt manner that he nearly fell off of Pegasus.

"What were you saying?"

"You worried about Luna?" repeated Herc.

"Ha-ha, something like that." Sora replied half-truthfully.

"Don't worry too much about it. I know it seems unfair but when you get back you can tell her all about it," Herc tried to console him. Sora gave him a quick grin before Herc turned around again to face the direction they were going in.

The river led straight towards uneven hills and more buildings. As Sora flew over them, the realisation finally hit him that he was actually flying to a place where it would soon be impossible to see the miniscule dots roaming around in the fields and outside their houses. The air around them was getting colder as they ascended even higher into the sky. Over a forest they flew and Sora had to tuck his legs in and cling tightly to Pegasus' frame as the horse calculatingly decided that he would pick that time to try and scare Sora.

The first signs that they were nearing their destination were approaching quickly. Hercules pointed out the mountains up ahead. Just below by the base of the mountain was a port town with a set of ship stationed nearby. Sora soon felt as if he were fall off as Pegasus began flying even higher than before, circling the mountain as he did so. Sora something in his stomach plunge as Pegasus swooped down and entered a tunnel gaining speed once again.

Sora gritted his teeth and held on for dear life as he felt Pegasus swoop left and right to dodge the jagged rocks inside the dark cave.

Those guys up on Olympus might want to consider relocation, or at least a refurbishment plan. Sora thought. As he looked left for a second, he saw a spike narrowly miss his face and fall onto the ground.

They eventually emerged out of the cave and through the clouds to see the large golden gates of Olympus up ahead. Sora sighed deeply as Pegasus landed down softly on the clouds as opposed to the sudden impact he had expected.

"Time to get off! You did great Pegasus, take a break." Herc observed the horse's enervated state before slipping off him and rubbing the horse's blue mane. Sora jumped off and walked around rather tipsily not yet being able to register most of the things around him. When he recovered he finally realised that he was walking on a cloud.

"Whoa! How am I not falling?" Sora crouched down and felt around the cottony-like substance he was on. His hand went through quite easily indicating that he wasn't standing on any secret platform but he was still somehow able to walk on a cloud.

"Hard to believe huh? Anyway, let's head on, wouldn't want to keep my father waiting." Herc took the lead walking up the steps to the gates. Sora watched his step as he followed Herc carefully.

"I thought you said it would take about an hour to get here," said Sora, "It felt like three hours."

"It was. It would have been one if I had been going at my normal speed." Herc remarked causing Sora to stop in his tracks.

"Wait, THAT was your normal speed? You've gotta be kidding me, I thought the horse wanted to make my life a living hell!" exclaimed the Keyblade bearer in a slight daze.

"What? Why would he want that? I don't think you ever did anything to him." Herc told him as he stopped before the gates.

"Then what about flying low at the forest?" questioned Sora.

"Oh, he did that the first time for me too. Don't take it personally." Herc answered causing Sora to feign annoyance.

"Hercules! I see you brought the Keyblade wielder along too. I don't know, from what I'd heard of the guy who stopped the resurrection of the Keyblade War, I'd have expected him to be… different." A blue man with a helmet and sandals holding a staff swept in from out of nowhere to appear on the other side of the gate.

"Ah come on Hermes, Sora's got a lot of heart. He's a hero alright," Herc dragged Sora towards him, "This is Hermes. He's the messenger of the gods."

"It's as he says. Believe it or not, you're looking at the saviour of the worlds right here." Sora grinned mischievously wondering how far he could get away with the hero's gig.

"Okay okay, no need to get all high and mighty about it. Come on through." Hermes told them. He was a fast paced talker so Sora had to lean in to understand all of what he was saying.

The gates opened allowing Sora to take his first step into the home of the Olympians.

Sora walked through the well-lit hall of the gods slowly taking in the statues lined up against the wall showcasing the deities that inhabited the building. There were six on either side and as he walked past them he listened as Herc introduced each of them. He, Herc and Hermes stopped short of the door leading into the next room.

Herc turned to Sora, "Be my guest Sora."

Nodding Sora walked over slowly to the door and pushed forwards with both hands. The heavy doors separated and Sora took a look into the room, paused and then ultimately gave a look of surprise. It had not been the grand circular room with a balcony to overlook what was below, nor had it been the twelve seats around him filled with the gods he had seen in the previous room with the exclusion of one (obviously for Hermes).

"You!" Sora exclaimed in surprise slowly stepping towards the girl he and Luna had met in Thebes a week ago. She was sat in the middle of the round room with her legs crossed and her eyes closed.

The girl opened her eyes and blinked rapidly for a while as if trying to adjust to her surroundings. Sora had gotten the feeling that it was if she had almost been in an entirely different place before she had heard his voice.

"Sora? Is that you?" The coral blue haired girl got up slowly as if she were sprouting from her bud before a nervous smile appeared on her face.

"I take it you've met Yeul before young man?" The god sitting on the northern most chair opposite Sora spoke heartily. This would have been Zeus if Sora's listening skills had paid off.

"Yeul?" asked Sora confusedly.

"Blazes boy, the name of the girl?" The god on the left of him, which would be Ares judging from his gear and short plump physique, pointed out in a gruff voice.

"I think he was just trying to confirm Ares. No need to make such a fuss of it." said Aphrodite hotly. She was the one sitting to the right of the war god.

"I wasn't, from where I'm standing the boy couldn't defeat a toothpick. Are we seriously assuming this kid is the one who saved the worlds from disaster?" Ares spat eyeing the boy suspiciously.

"One does not require brawn in order to triumph at battle. As long as he has a strong heart, I don't see why he couldn't prevail." Another woman to two seats to the right of Zeus spoke seeming to challenge Ares. Sora believed this one to be Athena judging the way Ares had flashed his eyes dangerously at her. Hercules had spoken of their rivalry while they had been walking so it seemed reasonable enough to assume, though Ares seemed of a spiteful disposition to begin with.

"So anyway," Sora interrupted, "you're Yeul? So how do you know who Luna and I are?"

"Would you like me to tell him dear?" Zeus asked however Yeul shook her head.

"No, perhaps it's best he hears it from me," She placed one hand on her chest, "I am known by the title of 'the seer of the seas'. As it suggests I am seer tasked with the ability to see into the future."

It took Sora a few seconds to register what she had said. By the time he had done so, he still wasn't sure what to make of it. It felt as if his mind had imploded and he had no idea what to do or make of himself anymore. He could only calmly walk past Yeul and out towards the balcony.

Looking down, Sora could really only see clouds below but they seemed to reflect his state of mind. A person with the ability to see into the future? He wasn't so sure if he was ready to accept that though it did explain how she knew about him and Luna. Still, a person who knew about the future was a scary thought to him and he didn't feel like thinking about it. Aware that fourteen pairs of eyes were on him, he turned around and walked back before clearing his thought in an unexpected way.

"So is that why you called me here? Because you knew I was coming?" That's what Sora understood from this anyway though he was reluctant to believe it.

"Yes, though that isn't the only reason my boy. After all you're the one who defeated Xehanort." Zeus boomed with a grin.

"It really wasn't just me but… I guess?" Sora was more interested in finding out about this girl in front of him rather than having a conversation about his life achievements though it seemed he wouldn't be able to ask her much in this kind of atmosphere. Additionally, he knew Luna had questions of her own that she wanted to ask.

"A boy who resisted the darkness and saved his friends from sleep is no small feat. Now that is true poetry." A slender but muscular man donning another helmet spoke. He was at the bottom right of the chair though Sora couldn't discern who he was.

"And saved us from the return of a Keyblade War. Don't forget that Apollo." Artemis, a woman with olive skin and a bow by her side added in.

"You know about the Keyblade War?" asked Sora.

"But of course Keybearer. The heart that governs all worlds was lost in darkness because of it. The world was engulfed in darkness but through that a light was born and the world born anew." Athena told him.

"What exactly happened in the Keyblade War though? It was important enough for Xehanort to want to start another one just for the sake of researching it."

"It happened a long time ago. A time when we had our own problems to contend with. Do you know of the titans?" When Sora shook his head Athena continued, "They waged war on us around the same time the war started. We were both fighting for possession of the light, a greed we unfortunately regret to this day. There were many victories, just as much as there were many losses. In the end however we had prevailed but it was too late. We had discovered an embodiment of greed more desperate than ourselves, humans. Can you take a guess as to whom?"

Sora hesitated, "Humans?" He seemed to remember Yen Sid talking about something similar.

Athena nodded, "Correct. They forged weapons out of metal in the image of the χ-blade, a weapon desired by many, even us gods. It was a weapon that was said to align with Kingdom Hearts itself. In other words, if you controlled the χ-blade, you controlled Kingdom Hearts. How could we not resist? But humans went a step further than us, forging the weapon you currently use and spreading fear and chaos throughout the world all in search of one ultimate weapon.

"At some point however Kingdom Hearts fell back into the darkness. With it gone, a world of ruin was left in its wake. With that said, the worlds were soon split and people started to rebuild the lost world. We with our consciences bearing a hefty burden decided to look after this world as a way of repenting for our original sin." Athena finished.

"So you wanted to pay back a debt to this world." Yeul condensed quietly much to the surprise of everyone. Sora didn't even know why everyone else was astounded at this. In fact he was pretty sure he was still the only one confused by this latest development.

"That sums it up pretty nicely dear. But not just this one, all of them. Maintaining the world order in one world means doing the same in the rest whether it is directly or indirectly." A woman next to Zeus who Sora guessed was his wife Hera said.

"So going back to Yeul," Sora said thinking he was ready to press on with the confusion, "How exactly do you see into the future?"

"It's not that I can read every single thing about the future. It's more like prophecies about certain events. For example, I dreamt before you came here that you and Luna would meet me one day… and it has come to pass." Yeul reflected flatly.

"That's kind of creepy but I think I get it. So you dream these prophecies then?" Sora checked.

"Everyone dreams Sora. It can be about anything, at the end of the day it's figuring out the useful from the useless. That's my task." answered Yeul before giving him a smile. Sora wasn't sure he understood what she had meant but he didn't question it. He already felt like a ton of weights had been dropped on him without his permission even if he had actually asked for the information.

"It is quite a lot to take in, isn't it Keybearer? She is one of a kind certainly. We don't really know much about her, just that she mysteriously arrived on our doorstep looking like a lost dove that couldn't find its way." Hermes jokingly recalled behind him. So not even the gods knew who she was, only what she had told them.

"Now if you don't have any more questions, we'd like to reward you for all your efforts," Zeus extended his hands and presented a medal of pure gold, "you've earned it and can share it with your friends if you want to."

Sora shook his head and pleaded, "It's fine, really. It was all in a day's work, there's no need to give me anything."

"Selfless. Just what I expected from a Keyblade wielder who's willing to think about others before himself. But please accept this award on our behalf. If not for preventing a repeat of the past then for being there for others." said Hera.

Sora sighed before relenting. He walked over to Zeus and bowed his head so the god could slide the medal over his head easily. Sora stepped backwards before grinning and then looking over to Yeul.

"Hey, Luna really wants to meet you again. How about we go and see her?"

"I'm afraid that if the seer will be going anywhere, it's with me." A familiar voice echoed throughout the room.

"I know that voice…Hades!" Sora yelled looking around.

"Ding ding ding. And pipsqueak takes the point. For your prize would how would you like to win one trip to the underworld?" Hades appeared in a puff of smoke behind Sora and pushed his way past.

"Hades I told you that you were no longer welcomed here up on Olympus." Zeus roared getting up from his seat.

"Oh sorry, didn't know I couldn't see my own brother whenever I wanted to." Hades rolled his eyes.

"Wait, brother? This wacko's your brother?" asked Sora breathlessly.

"I'd appreciate 'Lord of the Dead' if you will? Anyway, I've come to claim back magpie over there. We were about to finish our game of Hades says but you ran away before we could finish. I'm disappointed." Hades turned around and walked towards Yeul who placed her hands up defensively while stepping back in fear.

Sora summoned the Kingdom Key and stepped in front of Yeul, "Stay back Hades. If you do anything to harm her you'll have me to deal with."

"Oh, this is good. Now that he's a hero the little squirt's gone off and grown a pair. How cute..." Hades said annoyed.

"He's not the only one you'll have to contend with," Apollo said, "now what do you mean by claim back?"

Hades shrugged, "Exactly what it means. All I'm saying is that she got herself lost in my underworld and we became good friends, didn't we Maggie?"

"N-No. I-I-" Yeul stuttered in fear not sure where her voice had gone all of a sudden.

"Aw, you're so cold you might put my hair out. You know you're really hurting my feelings." Hades mocked sarcastically.

"Do you want to go back with him Yeul?" Sora asked the girl. When she shook her head Sora looked back and smiled, "You heard the lady, go back and crawl into your hole because I really don't feel like fighting you here."

"Oh you're hilariously funny but seriously if I had to cringe every time I heard that line I would have gotten wrinkles right now," Hades held out his hand and summoned a mirror. He held it to his face and inspected himself thoroughly, "Nope, no wrinkles. Looking as handsome as ever Hades. Aw shucks, you're looking ruggedly handsome yourself." He complimented himself before summoning the mirror away.

"Are you still here Hades? I'd advise you leave." Herc walked forwards towards Hades reaching slowly for his sword.

"Yeah yeah in a sec. Oh, by the way are you sure it was safe of you to leave your precious nutmeg and her friends in the coliseum alone?" said Hades.

Sora's eyes widened, "What did you do?"

"Oh nothing, just that if they were to get in trouble. You know what they say right, accidents happen," Sora swung his Keyblade at Hades but the god quickly disappeared in a puff of smoke once again, "Herc, we need to get back quickly."

"Right, well it's been nice meeting you dad. But a hero's call is never ignored." Herc said.

"Wait," Yeul said loudly causing Sora to stop walking, "But you said that Luna has questions she wants answered from me right?"

"Well yes but I think it would be safer for you here, at least for the time being. Also I'm certain Pegasus won't be able to hold more than two people." explained Herc. Yeul sighed but eventually shook her head and stepped back.

"Don't worry Yeul, we'll meet again. I met you now by hoping I would meet you again. How about we make a promise this time so that we'll meet for sure." Sora smiled holding out his pinky finger. Yeul looked at it for a second then up meeting Sora's eyes before giving a warm smile and intertwining his little finger with her own.

"It's a promise."

"I hope we meet again Keybearer." Hera told him. Sora nodded and untwined his finger from Yeul's. Giving a thumb up to them before heading off with Herc, both of them desperate to make it in quick time to their friends before it was too late.

Yup, Yeul from FFXIII-2 has been revealed though unlike her FFXIII-2 person she doesn't have a guardian nor can she die a million times and still be okay. So onto reviewing the chapter.

1) Those cupids which shoot arrows are actually taken from the Chain of Memories version of this world.

2) It's pretty hard to write gods around the Keyblade War. You would have thought they'd have done something about it without having to fear dying so the fact that the Titans and Olympians fighting seemed to coincide with the war seems kind of hilarious to me.

3) Obviously we learn more about the Keyblade War and how the light corrupted the minds of even the strongest willed. Ah, how the past intrigues me so...
