Chapter 1~
A new face joins the group
(Two years later)
Sora ran towards the castle, blowing strands of brown hair out of his eyes. It had been two years since he had been found lying in a crater by some of the guards with no memory of how he got there. Ansem, the person that owned the castle, asked Sora to stay there while they tried to figure out where he came from. Accepting the invitation, Sora watched the people around him as they went to work. In that first year, he'd had nightmares that he couldn't remember, calling out the name of someone he had never met.
It was a year later, when Sora had gone to where some of the locals had said that a few Heartless had been appearing, that the group realized that he was a Keyblade wielder. Braig, one of the castle guards and an apprentice to Ansem had found him fighting them off with dual Keyblades, which was rare from what he understood. Jumping in to help, the two made quick work of the Heartless. Once they got back to the castle, Braig told Ansem what had happened. Getting in touch with one of the few Keyblade masters he knew, Ansem asked Master Eraqus to come as there had been a new wielder found.
Sora shook his head, banishing those thoughts. Eraqus hadn't taken him in to train, as Sora had become fond of Radiant Garden, but his own apprentices, Ventus, Aqua, and Terra, were often sent to help teach him what he needed to know. He was returning from one such training session, where only Ventus and Aqua had attended. Questioning them about where Terra was, Sora was told that Terra had gone missing on a mission and they were trying to find him.
'I wonder where he is,' Sora thought, shaking his head. He hoped that the two would find their missing friend soon.
Sora was broken from his thoughts as he saw a small crater in the road in front of him. It was similar to how Aeleus and Dilan had found him, so he went forward to see who it was. Seeing tall male, with shocking silver-gray hair lying in the crater, he took off, looking for one of the guards. Spotting Aeleus, he ran up to him. "Aeleus," he yelled.
Aeleus turned, wondering why Sora was yelling his name. "What is it?" he asked, turning towards the young boy.
"I found someone in a crater, hurt," Sora said, breathing hard from the running he had been doing. "I can't tell how bad, but it looks like he was knocked out pretty hard."
Aeleus' eyes widened and he signaled to Braig to come over. "Show us where you found him then head up to the castle to let Ansem know," he ordered as Braig came over.
Sora nodded and led them to the spot. As soon as the two men were heading down towards the body, Sora took off back to the castle. Ansem got to work, telling the healers in the infirmary to prepare for the injured person as the two men approached with their burden.

(One week later)
Sora looked into the infirmary, spotting the person sitting up slowly, a hand to head. "You're awake," Sora said, grinning. "You were pretty injured when you came in, but the healers got you fixed up pretty quickly. My name's Sora, what's yours?"
"I-I don't remember," he said, looking up through a curtain of silver-gray hair to look at Sora, gold eyes seeming to look into Sora's soul. "I can't remember much of anything."
Sora winced as he knew that feeling. "I know what you mean. The same thing happened to me two years ago. I still don't remember anything, but I found a new life here, so that's what I take comfort in, well that and training."
"Hm," the man said. He furrowed his eyebrows in thought. "I do remember something, though I'm not sure if it's my name."
Sora tilted his head in question. "Oh? What is it?" he asked, curious.
"Sora, I hope you're not bothering our guest," a voice said sharply, interrupting the two. Flinching, Sora turned to see Ansem standing behind him with a frown on his face. "I see you awake, young man. You had the healers worried, considering that bruise you had on your temple. I am Ansem, and this is my home."
The man nodded. "Yes sir. Moreover, Sora here wasn't bothering me. We were just talking when you came in."
Ansem nodded. "Is there a name you go by, or can you remember anything?" he asked, moving further into the room. Sora stood near the door, ready to go on an errand in Ansem needed to send for someone.
"The only name I remember, is Xehanort," the man said. "I don't know if it's my name, but it is the only thing I can remember."
"Then we shall call you Xehanort, at least until you can remember your actual name. Sora," Ansem said turning to the boy, "go get the head healer and then head to the library. I believe you have some lessons that need attending."
Sora nodded, heading for the door. "Yes sir. It was nice meeting you mister Xehanort." With that, he left, shutting the door behind him.
The newly named Xehanort turned to Ansem. "Why did you send the boy away?" he asked.
Ansem sighed, shaking his head. "Sora is one of the few people that reside in this castle that is neither a worker, a guard nor one of my apprentices. He was actually found similar to how you were; only he was found two years ago. I have made him my ward, until he decides what he wants to do, as he did not wish to leave this world."
"Oh," Xehanort said. As he was about to say something, the head healer opened the door, stepping into the room, cutting off their conversation for now.
Author's note: Well, what do you think? A longer chapter than last time, considering what all I had to put in. still not as long as I would like, but I will try and get them longer as the story goes. All together this story will be shorter than the other's in this series, so I hope you don't mind.
May your hearts be your guiding Key~
