The og version of this story was going to be my oc trains with Merlin while Sora fights during the First Game... but this feels better.


Three years before Canon starts

"What was that?" Yensid said, standing tall from behind his desk. "I sense a tremendous wave of darkness... " Turning, he gazed out into the nightsky and saw another sky fade out in the sky. "Another world, gone... so many, but why did I sense such darkness?" Turning his gaze downward, he saw a lump in the shadow of his tower. It was not emanating anything dark or even mystical. Curious, he teleported down to the tower's edge and peered at the lump. "It's a child!" Kneeling, he moved glowing hands onto the child's body, peering into their mind. "I see, poor child. His world was destroyed by the Dark forces. A strong will allowed him to survive, tossing him from the Dark Realm and into the realm of Twilight. Since my tower exists between realms, it caught him as he descended through the shadows."

"Uh... what are you talking about?" The boy said, turning to him, giving Yensid a look at the boy. He was wry and small, with curly brown hair and a wide nose. He had fair peachy skin and small eyes colored greenish blue. His face was rounded and soft looking, giving him a sort of santa ish expression. "Darkness and worl... wait is that what that was, that wave of shadow and those disgusting ant like things that ate people?"

Yensid nodded. "Those ant like creatures were the heartless, powerful creatures that consume the hearts of others, the heart's darkness releases it's darkness crafting even more of them. It is a vicious cycle. I am afraid your world has been destroyed."

The boy did not look upset. "Good... it was a nightmare to live there." his cold tone shocked Yensid, or rather it would have had he not read the boy's mind. The boy had a tremendous amount of pain within his soul. "Hey, why was your hands glowing?"

"I am a Sorcerer, one of great power."

"Really, is magic a learned skill or one are born with? Can anyone learn it?" The boy asked with rapid excitement.

Yensid laughed. "It is both, some people just have it but it can be learned. I was once a Keyblade wielder, think of the legends of Excalibur in your world. We are guardians of Dark and Light. However, I was a student of the craft years before then. Wielding a keyblade makes you a magical being."

The boy peered up, eyes wide. "Can I learn magic, I mean my world is gone, and to be entirely frank while I am not sad about it, there were innocents in my world that did not deserve to suffer like that. I could help contain the tide of that darkness if allowed to."

Stunned, Yensid, put a glowing hand on the boy's heart. "I sense great Darkness and Light within you, a battle of power in your heart. You could use the lessons I leave you with to create great evil... and yet you could use it for great good. I also sense you hold a strong will, which makes sense as you survived your world's descent into Darkness."

"So is that a yes?"

"I do believe it is... to be honest, I was planning on sending you to Traverse town, the typical place people appear when their world is destroyed, it is the recycling point of old Worlds, but it is not unheard of for people to appear in other places of Twilight. It is good fortune for you that you ended up here, is it not?"

"I guess so... so, where do we start?"

"I must set up a room for you in the tower, I never expected to have a new apprentice. Thankfully the Tower's magic is flexible enough to allow for such things, such as when I trained King Mickey. Now rise, and follow me and prepare your mind and heart for the trials to come."


Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was a blast to write. I like Yensid, I like his power.

What should I show, in terms of before canon starts? Send your thoughts...

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
