Kingdom Hearts: Light, Darkness, and Shadows
Prologue
"The World is vast – and the worlds withing the greater World, uncountable. Like little islands, they dot a great Ocean Between which keeps them ignorant of each other, uncorrupted."
Centuries before Xehanort left his island home for adventure, a Keyblade War was fought.
"In ancient times, no such buffers kept the larger World divided; there were no walls of light enclosing each smaller world the way they do today. Nothing prevented one from physically interfering with the next."
Defenders of the Light, servants of Darkness, those who sought to reconcile the two, and those motivated by nothing more than lust for power fought a great battle over Kingdom Hearts.
" At that time, the World was filled with light, and a great many Keyblade wielders. But without buffers, the worlds began to squabble over ownership of the light."
Every world was brought into the conflict as the Keyblade wielders fought; Humans, Shadows, and Halves.
"Long ago, people lived in peace, bathed in the warmth of light. Everyone loved the light. Then people began to fight over it. They wanted to keep it for themselves. And darkness was born in their hearts..."
This is their story.
