"The Great War?" Sora asked and the King nodded. Master Yen Sid told the King to sit down while he explained.

"200 years ago, the keyblades started to fall from the sky and into random hands. I was merely an apprentice then, in the Radiant Garden, yet I recall them falling like shooting stars and stopping in front of their own chosen ones. Millions upon millions fell and soon all the chosen ones got used to them. I myself had a keyblade, yet the master told me never to call upon it. I did not know why he said that, yet I knew he had his reasons.

The answer came swift. The millions with keyblades reacted when three more keyblades fell. They weren't any keyblade though, they were gold, and the handles were shaped like a heart with wings surrounding it. Everyone was baffled by these new keyblades that had no owners. Those keyblades landed in the middle of the water fountain and everyone gathered to see them. At that time, there were strange people who seemed to come the same time the keyblades did. They were dressed as common people, yet they gave off an aura of malice. However, they only gave knowledge about everything that was happening. Everyone flocked to them whenever they wanted to learn a special attack or a combo. They now flocked to them and asked about the mysterious keyblades with no owners.

The strangers said they were special. They called it the Three Keys to Kingdom Hearts.

"The Keys to Kingdom Hearts? What is Kingdom Hearts?" A person asked and they smiled showing sharp teeth. It made me wonder if they were human at all.

"Kingdom Hearts is everything. Once you have it, the worlds are yours." They said and everyone looked at each other anxiously.

"There are more worlds then this one?" Everyone asked almost in unison. I feared they had gone too far, yet the strangers nodded.

"Worlds like these, but different. Each world has different customs and different ways of living. They all react to Kingdom Hearts."

"How do we get Kingdom Hearts?" The people asked almost hypnotically. I feared for what would happen.

"You must possess one of those keyblades. Only three people may enter Kingdom Hearts. However, they will only choose their owner when only three people with keyblades remain. They only pick the strongest three out of this whole world, and as long as your neighbor has a keyblade. You cannot possess one of the Three. You cannot possess Kingdom Hearts. Those who do not wish to seek the awesome power of Kingdom Hearts, do not call upon your keyblade. Those who wish to possess unimaginable power, do not forget, your neighbor must die." Almost instantly everyone turned on each other. Some ran for the safety of their own house, yet the majority stayed to fight. I saw the strangers laughing at the quarrelling people and suddenly they disappeared. I stood there frightened until my Master yanked me from the crowd and back to our tower.

"Who are those strangers Master?" I asked and he stroked his beard.

"I have never heard of them before." He said and summoned a book. Flipping rapidly to the page he wanted, he read and shut it suddenly. "They are known as Spites." He said pacing around.

"Spites? What are they?" I asked like the humble apprentice I was.

"Spites are a form of heartless." He said and I was confused. "When a heartless dies from a keyblade, it turns into a nobodie. However, if the heartless is killed with a keyblade wield by a fake chosen one. It turns into spite. Spites are the malice in people's heart. They remain even after you kill them again. They always will."

"How can they take on our form?" I asked and he sighed.

"They are originally people to begin with. Spites remember what their bodies used to look like and take on the form. It is like a shell that protects them, for they are but wispy creatures with no mass; much like air." I was horrified.

"What will happen to all those people?" I asked and he told me to calm down.

"A war will likely break out until the three of this world are found."

"Then…then will it be over?"

"Absolutely not my boy! There are worlds out there with the same dream. The three keyblades you see here are merely holograms. They are not the actual thing. The real Three Keys to Kingdom Hearts are at Kingdom Heart's gate itself."

"Master, how do you know of such things?"

"History is repeating itself my boy, just like it says so in this prophecy." That is all I can remember of our conversation. The years droned on and blood filled the street. Those who chose to hold on to their keyblades fought with no end. Those who never summoned it like my master and I, were left to find some way to cope. Yet though we tried, every scream in the middle of the night was unbearable, and everywhere we went, we saw the same thing. Women and children running away from the people with blood crazed eyes. We began to call them the Spited ones. The ones that gave in to the spites.

The blood never stopped it seemed. However, one day, when the clouds were swirled in such an unusual pattern. My master and I were inside studying when he slammed his book down suddenly and rushed to the window. We saw the most unusual thing, in broad daylight, we saw the stars.

"Why are the stars out so early?" I asked and he answered in a voice hardly audible.

"Those are the worlds my boy, we are connected now."
