"Wha…Where is my Keyblade?" Mareo asked himself and looked on his person for the weapon, and saw a young man carrying away his weapon, "Hey! Wait!" Mareo shouted after the boy, however he turned and ran, with Mareo giving chase. Following the youngster through the city, he finally started to slow down at the sight of a young man wearing armor depicting a crest of two lions on a shield being black and red. "Furosha, what are you doing here?" the man asked bending down to one knee to help the lad, "Help, this stranger is following me!" Mareo slowed his pace, "no…that…boy took something of mine!" The knight looked down at Furosha and noticed the large key in his hand, "Furosha…where did you get this?" The boy looked away sheepishly, "it was on the ground when I found it… its mine." Mareo took another step forward, "how can I prove to you the weapon is mine?" "Wait! I know exactly how to prove its mine!" Mareo thought to himself and then looked to the knight, "I can put the weapon directly into my hands without touching it." The knight looked down to Furosha, then to Mareo, "fine. If you can perform such a feat, then the weapon belongs to you, it will rest in front of me, and you two must be three arm lengths away from it."
Moving the approximate distance, Mareo simply reached for the keyblade with his right hand, and the key disappeared from the knight and into his hand. "What you say is true…" then he turned to Furosha, however he had already ran away, "you have to forgive Furosha, sometimes he takes things that don't belong to him…I believe he is an orphan..." Mareo sighed, "Oh…by the way…what is this place?" The knight looked at Mareo with a stare, "You are in the glorious Kingdom of San d'Oria." The knight pointed in front of him, "You are at the Ranperre gate, if you follow the road, you will come to the parade grounds, and the kings' castle the famed Chateau d'Oranguille."
Walking away from the knight, Mareo followed the path that was given to him by the knight. Looking at the various shops, people gave Mareo strange looks as they passed by, he stopped for a moment and wondered aloud, "why is everyone looking at me strangely?" looking down, he realized he was still wearing his Quick-Fill uniform, "oh…that's why…" he thought to himself, and he continued down the passage way, a moat was to his left, Mareo passed under a archway and came to a massively open court, with a fountain and various buildings surrounding the area. Looking to his left, he saw a magnificent castle the knight was talking about, it seemed to reach for the sky, with various watchtowers and with a drawbridge.
Mareo walked towards the castle, "HOLD! What business do you have in the Chateau d'Oranguille?" the guard at gate shouted, raising his hand, "I need to see the kings…I have important business!" Mareo said, however the guard shook his head, "well do you have a ranking within our country?" This stopped Mareo cold, "ranking?" He repeated, and the guard shook his head, "listen to me well, young one ranking is how widely known you are throughout the Kingdom of San d'Oria, if you have gone on missions, then your rank improves, otherwise I cannot let you in." With that, the guard shooed Mareo away, "now be gone, I have other business to attend to…" He started slowly walking along the moat, and noticed another massive building to his right. With high steeples, he slowly walked towards it, "I wonder what this building is…" when he crossed the bridge and opened the doors, he found that everyone inside was wearing white, "this must be a cathedral…" he said to himself and took a few more paces inside, "hello young man, welcome to the cathedral dedicated to the Goddess Altana, how can we assist you?" Mareo looked around for a moment, various scrolls hung from the ceiling, and light poured in from the high windows, "I…Its kind of hard to explain…" Mareo started, the priest raised a brow, "have you come seeking forgiveness for a sin?" He shook his head, "NO! No, its not that…well…I guess its best if I just show you…" with that, Mareo raised his right hand, and a beam of light formed in his hand and solidified into his Keyblade.
The priest took a few steps backwards, fear had overtaken him, "the…the cursed key of legend!" He madly looked around the room and ran past Mareo shouting, "Temple Knights, The ancient legend of the key has come true! Assemble at once!" Within moments, multitudes of armored knights dressed in white surrounded Mareo, "I don't want to fight you…" Mareo whispered to himself, however just as he was about to charge the men, he felt a strong blow from behind, and fell to the floor falling into unconsciousness…
