Sora was siting on the bent palm tree that held the infamous paupu fruit, his gaze was turned to the sight of the setting sun. it had only been three days since he returned to destiny islands. His home.

It had taken a while to give a proper explanation to everyone (including sora's mother) as to where he was for two whole years, most people didn't believe him saying that he was probably playing a childish prank that got out of hand. He was grounded and that was understandable but he was still disappointed that his own mother didn't believe him but then again how many kids can say hey mom I just saved the world from an evil darkness! also I had help from a talking duck, a dog, and a mouse, and my sword is a gigantic house key! He chuckled. She probably would have sent him to an insane asylum.

Riku walked up to the bent palm tree and leaned on it like he usually did. Wearing his baggy jeans and a white sleeveless vest. Sora turned to face his childhood friend/rival and asked a question.

"hey riku, what do think it was?" "the door to light." sora said as he got off the bent old tree. Riku turned to face sora "this." riku said as he pointed to sora's heart. "this?" sora said as he touched the flesh that covered his heart. "Sora! Riku!" sora turned his head and saw the redhead know as kairi walking over to them carrying a bottle with a small note inside it. He took the bottle from kairi, opened the note and began to read out loud as his two friends huddled around him.

Dear Sora

something odd has happened and requires your attention.

I know you have only recently returned from your journey and I apologize for the inconvenience but I have began to question the stability of the worlds.

forgive me for ending this letter with unexplained questions but these matters must be discussed face to face. A portal to my tower shall open here at dusk tomorrow, prepare yourself

-sincerely

master yen-sid

p.s. come alone

"well that can't be good" sora said, obviously discouraged by the letter. He just got home and now he was supposed to go off on another long quest, well at least he could see donald and goofy again.

"we should head back" riku said as the three looked to see the sun was gone. "oh no!" sora said frantically "my mom is gonna kill me!" sora said as he remembered that she had grounded him.

Kairi and riku stood there laughing as sora began running towards the row boats. Kairi then doubled over in laughter as sora triped and fell face first into the sand, riku only gave a small chuckle. Sora was still the happy go-lucky kid he was seven years ago.
