Chapter 3
author's note: this chapter is going to be a bit shorter But I promise, I will get it moving quicker, and the next chapter will be longer! Thanks to
HarryPotterFreak4Life, heather b, and RogueFanKC. In response to your comment, Donald and Goofy will show up, but a little later on.
And now, on with the show!
"Now, Sora, please, tell me who you really are, and why you are here." Sora was surprised. "I told you who I was, sir." He gave the man a "I-think-you've-lost-your-mind" look.
"I know your name, Sora, but there is much more to you than that..." Crystal blue eyes twinkled in amusement.
"Uh, I...am not, um, from this world." 'Great eloquence, stupid!'
"So I concluded, how did you get here?"
"It's a long, confusingly complicated story, sir."
"Well, Mr. Potter and Miss Granger won't be waking up for a few hours, so we have quite a bit of time. Please, humor this senile old man." Dumbledore chuckled. "Have some tea and a lemon drop first, you seem a bit....distressed."
"Oh, thanks. Well, I guess I'm nervous because of getting lost in another world with no familiar faces, but I'll cope. Ooh, these lemon drops are good! Well, you asked for an explanation and here it is, sir. Well, I guess it all began when I was with my friends Riku and Kairi on Destiny Islands...." Sora talked and talked until he was sick of his own voice. He explained about Riku and Kairi, and his witness of the destruction of his home world. He spoke of waking up in Traverse Town, meeting Leon, Yuffie, Aerith, and his partners-in-crime, Donald and Goofy. He went on about visiting all of the worlds, battling the Heartless.
Here Dumbledore interrupted him and questioned Sora about the demons of darkness. He inquired on practically every aspect and detail. Why was he so interested? The elderly man was on the edge of his seat, taking notes on what the Keyblade Master told him.
"And they feed on the darkness in hearts? How informative..." Dumbledore mumbled, quill scratching furiously on the parchment.
"Uh, sir? Why do you seem so...enthralled?"
"I will tell you once you finish your story. Please continue."
So he babbled some more, going on and on about Riku, Maleficent, and Ansem and the final battle. He finished off with the splitting of all of the worlds, and now being separated from his pals.
A pause. "Well, Sora, I think you are an extraordinary young man. I am so glad that I have talked to you. You see, what you told me about the Heartless shines some light on a deadly-looking predicament that has seemed to hang over our heads at the moment. I don't believe you know much of our world, so I'll give you the shorthand version."
Another hour later, Sora sat back, absorbing and sorting all of the new information he had heard. Voldemort, he didn't come off as a caring gentleman. 'He is no better than Ansem. Worse, in fact, if he could survive death.' He really wished Donald and Goofy were here...
"And now there's this new force that Voldemort has allied with. There are supposedly an almost endless supply of them at the Dark Lord's disposal. My informants say that they are mute demons with shadow faces and glowing yellow eyes. They wear white Deatheater robes, but have a strange, ominous looking rune emblazoned on them. They are nicknamed 'the Light Killers'. Any bells ringing for you?"
"No, but they kinda sound like a death metal band, with a name like that. Do you know exactly what the symbol looks like?"
"Yes, actually. My informant sketched a picture." Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a scroll appeared, floating over to Sora. As he unraveled it, his stomach dropped. It was undoubtedly the Cross Heart of the Darkness, except the only difference was a pair of snakes wrapped around it.
"Sir, you have a Heartless army on your hands."
