Sora leaned over the edge of the boat. He gazed out over the open waters toward the mainland ahead.

"Wow!" Sora proclaimed.

The look of awe and amazement over the boys face, seeing them sailing like this. With magic no less. He glanced down to the currents below, seeing the boat made of solid ice plowing across the currents with ease.

"Awe man!" He said,

"That is so cool!"

Elsa glanced back at the boy, seeing him gazing back at her in awe and wonder. She smiled down at the boy once more. While she was still not used to such a reaction to her powers, she couldn't help but smile and chuckle. Reminded of those times long ago, when she and Anna would play together with her powers. They had only just met, at least she assumed so, and yet he truly reminded her of Anna.

"Thank you." Elsa said.

He glanced back, seeing her pushing their boat forward with her powers. The sight alone of the Snow Queen's magic was a truly amazing. He had always heard of magic in the old stories that his parents used to tell him before bed. Riku had often said that magic wasn't real, that it was all made up. But it wasn't.

It was real. All those stories were real.

"Man, I can't wait to show Mom and Riku." Sora proclaimed.

Elsa glanced to the side, grinning, nervously. The idea of revealing her powers to the people on the mainland was not something the Snow Queen was eager to do. She had only just revealed them to her sister and their Kingdom and people were only now accepting of her powers. There was no telling how these people would react. While Sora seemed so to be accepting to them, they could all panic and could perceive her as a monster.

"Um... well I would be honored to meet them," Elsa said.

"But... I think this should be our little secret?'

Sora tilted his head, curiously.

"What do you mean?" Sora asked, curiously.

"Just... I'm not sure they would be... you know?" Elsa said.

Sora only continued to stare curiously at the Snow Queen. He didn't understand what it was she was trying to say. Nor why she wouldn't want to show her powers to his friends and mother. Her powers were so amazing. Why wouldn't she want to show them to his friends and family?

Elsa sighed. She didn't expect that he would understand what she was saying. He was too young and was too enthralled with the reality that Magic was real that he didn't consider how they would react. Much like how she and Anna did when they were his age.

"They might not understand is all," Elsa insisted to him.

"Your people haven't really seen magic before. So they might not really be so... accepting to it."

Sora glanced to the side.

"I guess that makes sense." Sora insisted.

"Okay, I guess it can be our secret."

Elsa smiled, padding the boy over the head.

"Thank you." She said.

Elsa and Sora's boat came up over the beach of the mainland. Sora came up over the side of the boat and hoped down onto the sandy beach below.

"Come on, Elsa!" Sora said, running ahead toward the village.

"Sora, wait!" Elsa called, leaping down off the side of the boat.

Just as she was to follow Sora, the snow queen suddenly paused. Gazing ahead toward the town, something seemed off. There was a strange and eerie silence. Much like the one back on the island. There was also nobody else around. Where was everybody?

Elsa squinted her eyes, sensing there was something wrong. She then turned back to Sora.

"Sora, hang on," She said, reaching out to the boy.

"Somethings not right!"

By the time that Sora heard her, he was just about to the town. When suddenly, a small black creature with glowing yellow eyes appeared before the boy. Sora suddenly stopped, gasping in awe. It was then that more of the creatures crawling over the ground surrounded around him.

Elsa gasped. It was those creatures that had attacked her back in Arrendelle. As well as on her way to Koroda. She remembered Sora had called them something.

It suddenly came back to her.

"Heartless!" She exclaimed.

"Sora!"

Sora turned and ran back to Elsa. He came up behind her.

"It's them!" He said.

"It's the monsters!"

Elsa gazed up toward the creatures, who scurried up to them. The then emerged from the over the sand below, surrounded them from all around. The Snow Queen held up her hands, standing at the ready. She remembered all too well what these creatures were capable of. She wasn't about to let them hurt her or Sora.

The Heartless began to twitch as it then lunged into the air. Elsa held up her hand, blasting the Heartless with her magic. The heartless disbursed upon being hit. The other Heartless proceeded to pounced at the snow queen and Sora. The Snow queen acted quickly and blasted at the Heartless with her magic, causing them to disburse. All the while, Sora clung to Elsa, barring her face in her icy blue dress.

Swinging her arm around, Elsa shot a beam of her ice magic at the heartless which created a sheet of ice where the heartless once stood. She then paused, glancing down at Sora. The small boy glanced up at her, so afraid. A sight that spoke to the Snow Queen.

This boy needed her. And he needed her now.

Elsa turned forward to the remaining Heartless which continued to charge at them. The expression of Snow queen was of a determined glare. She would not allow the Heartless to Hurt Sora. And she would protect him with her life.

Elsa continued to blast them with her powers. Only for more Heartless to appear. Elsa shook her head as she stepped back from the Heartless, holding down her hand to Sora. There were too many of them and they just kept coming.

Sora glanced up at Elsa.

"What do we do?" He asked.

Elsa glanced down at the boy. She then turned back to the heartless who were now closing in upon them. She paused for a moment, unsure of what to do. They were now trapped and at the mercy of the creatures that sought their hearts.

Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light from behind. Sora turned back toward the ocean.

"Look!" He said.

Elsa glanced back at Sora and saw him pointing toward the ocean. She then glanced up and saw a bright white light that then revealed a large white door. The doors then slowly opened, to reveal a bright light inside which caused the Heartless to falter. Elsa held up her arm, shielding her eyes from the light.

She then heard a familiar voice.

"This way!"

Elsa squinted her eyes, curiously. She then glanced up at the door, where she saw a small figure standing in the doorway. The figure of which had a pair of round ears. Like the one who had saved her from the Heartless and who had brought her to this island.

"Come on, Hurry!"

Unwilling to wait a second longer, Elsa picked Sora up into her arms and raced toward the doorway. Sora gazed over her shoulder at the Heartless and the Heartless behind them and the town itself. He then reached out his hand.

"Wait!" He proclaimed, reaching out his hand.

But Elsa didn't stop and instead entered into the doorway and through into the light.

Elsa opened her eyes. She then found herself standing it what looked to be the square of what looked to be a town of some kind. But it was not like the one from back at the Mainland. Rather is looked similar to that of Arendelle. But at the same time, it wasn't Arendelle.

Sora leaned up from her as he glanced around the town square.

"W-where are we?" He asked, curiously.

Elsa shook her head.

"I'm not sure." she insisted to the boy.

"Hey, you!"

Elsa turned back where they saw two young woman standing behind them. One with short black hair with a metal bandanna wrapped around her forehead. A yellow scarf wrapped around her neck, along with a green top with blue shoulder straps. Tanned shorts with a blue belt wrapped around her waist and long which shocks that reached all the way up to her legs. The other with green eyes, brown hair braided behind her back with several curls along the side of her face. Wearing a pink and white dress and brown boots.

"It's about time," The black haired one said in a gleeful manner.

"We've been waiting for you to turn up."

Elsa squinted her eyes, curiously.

"Waiting for us?" Elsa asked, curiously.

"He said that he was going to bring you both here." The other girl insisted.

Elsa stared at the two woman, curiously. Could they both be referring to the one who had brought them to this place?

The two then glanced to Sora, who stared back at them.

"You found him!" The Brown haired girl exclaimed, pressing her hand together.

Elsa glanced back to Sora, who glanced to her, curiously.

"Him?" Elsa asked, curiously.

"The Keyblades Chosen one."

Elsa then turned and glanced up at the nearby stairway. It was there that he saw a man, standing at the top of the stairway as he leaned over the railing. He had brown spiky hair, wearing a black coat and pants. He the stood up as he turned to the Snow Queen.

"Come with us," He said.

"It's not safe for you out here."

Elsa shook her head.

"What do you mean?" Elsa asked, curiously.

"What's going on?"

"We'll explain everything," The man insisted.

"But for now we need to find someplace safe. Those things are still searching for you."
