Jayson rode the calm waters carefully, hoping that they could just focus on magic training today, he was always good at that, it didn't focus on his heart and attempting to wield a weapon of epic proportions. The prospect and concept of a Keyblade was cool though, a key shaped sword that could open any lock, and allow even the worst of magic users at least the basics of magic. And though the worlds for the most part were peaceful, the heartless did still try to attack every so often, and each time Riku or Kairi would stop it from ending the world. "Maybe they knew Sora… whoever that is, I need to find a good time to bring it up, maybe after training today." As he docked the boat, he heard Riku give a battle cry, quickly finishing up he turned and saw the man in question charging Kairi with his Keyblade, readying a powerful swing. Kairi nimbly dodged out of the way at the last second, hurling the Keyblade like a boomerang at her opponent, catching it as it flew back. He saw this and guarded against the attack, cloaking himself in dark fire before dashing through her, to which Kairi spun out of the way and soon their blades were a flurry of clangs and slashes, attacks and counter attacks, each time a blow was dealt was a monumental sight to behold as their wielders didn't so much as flinch at the pain. Through some quick movements that Jayson couldn't properly catch Riku was down to one knee and Kairi had her Keyblade pointed at his throat.

"Dead." She tried a serious tone, but her face betrayed her as she cracked a huge smile and began to chuckle, Riku following suit and using the helping hand she had offered to stand properly. It was only when Jayson began to clap did they notice his presence, and he seemed enthused and interested to see more.

"I may not be able to wield one of those things, but you guys make it look really easy. Do you think we can do some magic training today, I think I can pull off Fira now, I just have to get the hand gestures right…"

Riku laughed softly, shaking his head "after we try to summon forth your Keyblade. Okay?"

"But what makes you think I can do it? I haven't been able to before, and I can't see this light in me that you can, so what gives?" He stared up at them with a strange feeling in his chest, a sadness that wasn't there before, he shook his head. This always happens when he's around them, it doesn't matter, I hope.

They glanced at each other before Kairi sighed and tried to explain. "We can feel a strong light within you, Jayson, stronger than any student we've ever had, you're destined for something great, and we want you to be prepared for the future, no matter what it brings."
"The future doesn't scare me at all, though, Keyblade or not, I'll make it through!"

"I'm glad you've got the confidence, but let's try one more time. Then we can practice on magic, sound good?"

"Fine…" He held his right hand out, attempting to focus within himself towards his heart, seeing it as a beacon to call forth the Keyblade, something felt different from the other times. Almost as if his light was brighter somehow, "Here, let me help you." A mysterious voice spoke in Jayson's mind, freaking him out and causing him to ditch his attempt and gasp. As he opened his eyes he noticed a light fading away from his outstretched hand, Riku and Kairi looking on in slight amazement.

"You almost had it, and it looked like…"

"You're right, but it can't be, can it?"

"Has he really found his way back?"

"Uh… guys, what're you talking about?" Jayson inquired, tilting his head with a cheeky grin. Another gaze between the two and they had already had three conversations between the two of them. They turned to Jayson.

"We need to talk, about a lot of things, this was a massive leap forward for you, Jayson, we knew you could do it, but we need to go now, our next session will be entirely on magic, just for you, okay?"

"SWEET! I'll be here!" Jayson gave them a thumbs up as they left, then set his gaze downcast as they sailed away on their boat. "I wonder what that was all about…" He shook the thought out of his mind and headed home, unbeknownst to everyone else, two corridors of darkness opened near the bent paopou tree on the smaller land mass on the play island. Out of those corridors came two figures, one with a dark cloak on and the other a tall man wearing blue and golden robes and the mask of a Unicorn. The cloaked man spoke first, in a seemingly exaggerated and flamboyant voice. "So, those two twerps are already trying to train the newest generation of pipsqueaks, it's almost adorable if it didn't make me puke."

"But at least the light is being retained, and these Keyblade wielders might be able to keep the light from falling to darkness, like we could not." The unicorn masked man shook his head solemnly, silently mourning the loss of life he had been apart of so long ago.

"Well, we're going to get the master back, and that's all that matters, right, Ira?"

"… Right…" And as the two slipped back into their corridors of darkness, a small shadow was left behind, searching, sniffing for the secret place to find a tear this world asunder.

Gummiphone entries:

Keyblade: A blade in the shape of a key, able to open any lock. Even non-magic users can use basic magics with a Keyblade, if they can wield one, and grand magics (fourth tier spells, with the suffix -za) if they are naturally gifted or well experienced. Each Keyblade's look is significant to it's wielder, but this can be changed with Keychains.

?: The man who arrived with Ira, his plans and true motivations are unknown, and he seems to detest Riku and Kairi, he left a heartless behind when he left to fulfill his nefarious deeds. His name is still unknown.

Ira: The man in the unicorn mask, he wants to bring his master back through the darkness and other nefarious deeds. Though he seems reluctant to do so. He seems to not trust the mysterious cloaked man, but follows him anyway.
