"Dear child, willow. Grandmother Willow," the tree said.

"Okay, Grandmother Willow," Krissa said, still a bit freaked out that she was talking to a tree, "Where did that song come from. I've never been the best with improv so to speak."

"You listened with your heart."

"...Beg pardon?!"'

"Your heart understood everything that was going on around you. You understood the beauty of the forest, and you were able to sense the danger that it was in."

"Danger?" John Smith said.

"Well not anymore," Pocahontas started, "Krissa said that their king sent her and told everyone to go home."

"That's good," John Smith said, "Ratcliffe was driving everyone crazy truth be told."

"We need to go tell my father this information. Let's go."

As Pocahontas and John Smith left to go to the Indian village, Grandmother Willow had a few more words to say.

"It was very kind of you to think enough of our home to take action to try to get the settlers to leave, Krissa." Krissa stopped following Smith and Pocahontas to turn around and talk to Grandmother Willow.

"Sure. It's not as if I wanted to see this beautiful place go down. After all, I, well..."

"You knew that there was no gold here because you're from another world. A future incarnation of this one to be exact. "

"How did you...?!"

"Child, I've been around for a long time. I also see that you have a big heart and that you want to help those around you."

"How do you know all that? I mean, you're a tree, er willow, no offense."

Grandmother Willow chuckled softly. "Every rock, tree, and creature has a life, a spirit, and a name. Be aware, though, destiny has a way of changing everyone's plans, good or bad. What is meant to take place in the circle of life will find a way of happening."

"I guess that's..." Krissa stopped talking as she heard voices and footsteps in the distance.

"Quick, child, climb up me as high as you can go. The settlers are coming, and it is best that they do not see you for the time being."

Krissa did not hesitate. Though she had not really climbed trees since she was a kid, her adrenaline level allowed her to climb high into Grandmother Willow with no time to waste, because about a half a dozen settlers then came by.

"Are you sure you saw John Smith carried away and kidnapped by the Indians?"

"Positive," Thomas answered.

"BEASTLY SAVAGES," Ratcliffe screamed. We need to split up in these forsaken woods to find their hideout! MOVE!" With that, each of the men took off in different directions. As soon as they were each far off in the distance, Krissa climbed down from her hiding spot.

"I need to warn Pocahontas and Smith," Krissa said. "I hope I can find them." She nervously looked ahead at the big forest.

"Listen to your heart, and you will understand," Grandmother Willow advised before she went back to sleep.

"Right. Thanks, Grandmother Willow."

Terra and Ventus kept following the raccoon that still held Terra's Wayfinder in its mouth.

"C'mon you oversized rodent!" Ventus screamed. All of a sudden, the raccoon came to a screeching stop once he caught sight of a young woman with long black hair and a man with blonde hair straight ahead.

"Meeko, are you behaving?" Pocahontas asked.

"Why that no good rotten..." Ventus began.

"He has somthing of mine," Terra interrupted, "something of great importance to me."

"Meeko, that wasn't very polite. Give it back." Meeko got a very sad and apologetic look on his face as a gently dropped the Wayfinder by Terra's feet.

"Thank you," Terra said as he bent down and picked it up.

"Who are you?" Pocahontas asked.

"I'm Ventus, call me Ven!"

"Terra."

"I'm Pocahontas, and this is John Smith. Mind telling us where you came from?"

"They're definitely not with us," John Smith said.

"Maybe Krissa knows them," said Pocahontas.

"Who?" said Terra. They did not have time to have their question answered as they suddenly heard a loud noise that made the ground shake.

"Look out!" Terra screamed.

Pocahontas and John Smith had to run to get out of the way of a giant tail that almost crushed them. In front of everyone was a large brown hawk-like heartless, complete with a snake-like tail and devilish horns on its head.

All of a sudden, Krissa came running and slashed at the tail that was still in the same spot. The heartless howled in pain, making it angrier.

"Hide!" Krissa told Pocahontas and Smith. They ran and did so, along with Meeko, and Krissa got in her fighting stance (which is similar to Ven's).

"Who are you?" Ventus asked.

"And why do you have a keyblade?" Terra continued. The heartless then let out a loud roar.

"Let's save question time for after we take down this fool!" Krissa exclaimed.

Objective: Work together with Terra and Ventus to defeat the giant heartless.

The three keyblader wielders worked together to fight the heartless. The hawk-like creature could breathe fire, so Krissa and Ventus worked together to create a strong ice attack. Terra used the rockbreaker command to send a powerful attack on the heartless, sending it the fatal blow. The heartless roared as it faded away, and a pink heart was seen rising towards the sky.

"Well that takes care of that," Krissa said. "So who are you guys?"

"I'm Ventus! Call me Ven!"

"Terra. So who are you? And would you mind telling us why you have a keyblade?"

"Krissa. And...I really don't know to be honest with you. But even Merlin doesn't know, so yeah."

"You know Merlin?" Terra asked.

"Yeah, I do."

"It's a small world afterall...," Ventus sang. Terra and Krissa stared at him.

"Don't ask," Ventus said bashfully, his face turning red.

"Well this is cool, I don't think I've met other keybladers before. But why are you guys here?"

"We're searching for the heart of this world so we can lock it," Terra explained.

"Well maybe I can help," said Krissa.

"We have to protect it from the spreading darkness," said Ventus.

"Darkness?" Krissa asked. Suddenly they heard a scream in the distance. It sounded like a young woman that had been traumatized.

"Pocahontas!" Krissa exclaimed, and the three ran in the direction of the scream.

Cliffhanger! Eh, if you've seen the movie, you can probably guess what happened. I'm going to start putting fun facts about Krissa at the end of each chapter though to get to know her better:

Fun Facts- Her outfit was not yet explained, so I'll do it now lol. She's wearing a white lace skirt that's about mid-thigh lengh, a floral shirt with blue and pink flowers with white lace around the v-neck, a turquoise cami underneath, a turquoise sweater shawl, a white lace infinity scarf, silver hoop earrings, a charm bracelet, a blue stone ring, and gold sandals.

She's intellegent and works hard with her classes, but she has her ditzy moments as well and she's quote prone to tripping and other clumsy moments.

I will answer any questions if you have any :) (within reason of course)

you know what to do, please review ;) (yes i intentionally rhymed lol). & make sure to check out the 'Bored' contest!
