Chapter 2

Two rows of soldiers saluted Sora as he walked past, their swords clanging in the cool autumn air. Sora shivered, still cold despite his warm cloak. He braced himself, and then stepped forward onto the balcony.

A roar met his arrival. Tens of thousands stood below him, their voices clashing into one synonymous sound. Then, a lone trumpeter stepped out and blew a single melodious note, effectively silencing the crowd. She then took out a scroll from the front pocket of her vest.

Sora inwardly moaned.

"-worthy of this great and venerable title, prove himself as protector of our Seven Princesses of Heart, and prove himself as Guardian of this World!"

At this point the crowd erupted into cheers and yells. Sora lifted his head, glad that it was almost over. Then in one swift move, he closed his eyes, and summoned the Keyblade, raising it high for all to see. The crowd went wild, the sound escalating to a breaking point. Then, Sora dramatically "sheathed" the Keyblade, turned around, and walked back into the great stone castle, leaving the din and chaos behind him. The soldiers saluted as he walked past again, and Sora began to feel a tad bit annoyed.

"Do you see him?"

"I see him, but not his face. His hood is covering it up."

"You think he's going to be as handsome as the last one was?"

"I hope so, the last one had such a nice rear end."

Kairi rolled her eyes as her so-called "Ladies-in-Waiting" giggled madly behind her.

"Ignore them," said her sister.

"I would Alice, if they weren't so close to me."

Kairi's Ladies-in-Waiting either didn't hear her, or pretended they were deaf.

"Oh honestly Kairi, you don't have to put up with them if you don't want!" said Alice, gesturing to the tittering girls.

"Alice, you know you're the only one who's brave enough to stand up to the King."

"That was only because my Ladies were getting into my private dressers and stealing! Really Kairi, I think you should try some of my mushrooms on the-"

"So, what did you think about the new Keyblade Master?" interrupted a dark Arabian girl, who was sitting on the other side of Kairi.

Alice pulled a face.

"Keyblade Masters are awful!" she declared, "They never let us have a moment's-"

"Alice!" chided Aurora, who was listening to the trumpeter's speech, "You shouldn't say that! The Keyblade Masters are our protectors. Without them-"

"We would be stolen by the heartless, the Kingdom would crumble, and the worlds left unprotected from the Dark. Yes, I know, I know! But I still don't see why they won't let us-"

A sudden roar interrupted Alice's tirade. The Keyblade Master had drawn the Keyblade, holding it up high for all to see. The crowd was going wild with excitement.

"Show-off," muttered Alice, as the Keyblade master turned around and walked back into the castle.

And despite all her upbringing as a Princess of Heart, Kairi found herself agreeing with Alice.

Sora stood up, facing his mother.

"Are you ready Sora?"

"Aren't I always?" he said jokingly.

The woman in front of him nodded. A smile graced her lips, though sadness glinted in her eyes as she surveyed her son. He was no longer a boy, but not quite yet a man. His spiky brown hair framed a cheerful face complete with astonishingly blue eyes. This journey was necessary, absolutely necessary for him.

At least that was what she told herself.

"Mom?"

"Yes Sora?"

"….I'm going to miss you."

That was it, the woman rushed forward and pulled her son into her embrace, crying uncontrollably.

"Mom….it's ok."

"I know it is, but what if you get hurt and you're all by yourself? What if you fall and break something? What if you-"

"Mom, I'll be fine, I promise. I'm the big bad Keyblade Master, remember?" Sora grinned cheekily in spite of himself.

The woman smiled softly.

"Yes, of course, I'll always remember."

"Are you ready to go?" quacked a short little white duck with a hammer in his hand- er- wing.

Sora grinned.

"You bet Donald!"

"But where are we go'in?" asked Goofy quizzically.

"er….."

"Sora…you never planned for this trip?!!!??"

"….."

Donald put his head in his wings.

"Aw-hyuck, take a look at this!" came Goofy's voice.

Sora and Donald looked curiously to where Goofy was gesturing to a piece of paper tacked onto a wooden pillar.

"Seven Princesses of Heart…..guardian tests?" muttered Sora, bending over it.

Donald smacked his head.

"Of course," he quacked, "we've known about the tests for months! Why didn't you think of this before?" he added, eyeing Sora distastefully.

Sora grinned sheepishly.

"Hey Sora, since you're the Keyblade master, aren't you suppose to protect the princesses anyway?" said Goofy.

"Ok then! It's off to the capital we go!" Sora announced cheerfully, swinging around to..

He had no idea.

Finished… kind of in a hurry
