"Wake up." A low voice chimed in Mareo's ear, he slowly stirred and opened his eyes, seeing two figures sitting on a pair of thrones, one was wearing white armor while the other was clad in black armor, however they seemed to be bickering. "Trion. You have no right to attack someone simply because they have different clothing…" One said, looking to his left, "Pieuje, you must understand that his man is a threat, not just to the Kingdom of San d'Oria, but to the entire world of Vana'diel!" Mareo slowly got to his feet and looked at the two of them, which stopped the arguing, "tell us your name…" Pieuje said, "My name is Mareo…" Trion smirked, "for someone to destroy this world…you sure don't look like it…" Pieuje immediately turned to him, "Brother! All we know is his name; we don't even know where he is from! Control your tongue!" Suddenly Trion rose from his throne and walked down to Mareo, "I know you bear a key, the priest at the cathedral told me…show us."

He looked at Trion for a moment then back to Pieuje, who had his head in his right hand, rubbing his temples. Mareo looked at the ground for a moment and then raised his right hand, and a beam of light shone and solidified into the keyblade. With this, Trion took a step backwards, "so it is true…" he whispered to himself and wandered back to his throne, however Pieuje was absolutely stunned by the feat. "Mareo…what do you call this wondrous weapon?" "It's called a keyblade, it can undo any lock…" he said, swinging the weapon onto his shoulder, "where are you from, Mareo?" Trion finally asked, looking at him, "well…" Mareo started, "I came from a different world. It was much different than this…" Trion's eyes widened, "a different world?" Mareo nodded, Pieuje moved forward on his throne, "tell us…what was it like?" He looked up at the stone ceiling, "It was nice…the skies were blue, there was lots of people…" however he was interrupted by Trion who had gotten off his throne, "The prophecy has come true!"

Everyone stopped to look at Trion, Pieuje was the first to break the silence, "Brother…what on Vana'diel are you talking about?" Looking towards Mareo, Trion pointed his finger, "You claim you have come from a world different than our own…" he said, walking away from this throne and into the light from the stained glass window high up on the wall. "it is exactly as the Goddess Altana explained to the ancient Elvaan…" holding his head towards the glass, "Before our world of Vana'diel, there existed many other planets in the heavens created by the Goddess, and for a time everything was in harmony. But on one of her beloved worlds, a mysterious Key had appeared, along with its wielder who came from anther world; he wrought destruction and chaos with the Key and eventually destroyed her world.

"This…act caused the Goddess Altana so much sorrow and grief that she created another world, and created five races of people, and she told of the Ancients this prophecy: that if any being with a Key should appear, that being must be destroyed for sake of the entire world." Pieuje stood from his throne, "brother…you certainly cannot be thinking of killing this man simply because of his Keyblade!" "SILENCE PIEUJE!" Trion shouted, turning to him, "this prophecy has been passed down from King to Prince ever since the Kingdom of San d'Oria was founded! Do not mock the Goddess Altana's words in front of a Temple Knight!" Pieuje started to say something, but kept his mouth shut and looked at Mareo. Trion slowly walked towards his throne, and looked over Mareo, "your execution will take place tomorrow at dawn." He said, waving his hands, shooing him away, but suddenly someone burst through the doors, "Majesties! Black creatures have made their way to the Chateau d'Oranguille!" Both princes got to their feet, "what? No enemy has ever breached our walls! Are they Orcs?" Trion asked, but the guard shook his head, "no…they are not Orcs at all…they fall to the ground like shadows and reappear again…" Mareo's eyes widened, "those are Heartless! They must be after me!" He turned to the pair of royals, "I know what those creatures are!" however something caught his eye to his left, it was a shadow Heartless, "Watch out!" Mareo shouted, causing both of them to look at the creature leaping in the air after them.

Rather than attacking the princes, the Heartless flew backwards, smashing into a wall and disappearing a heap of black smoke. Pieuje smiled, "its always comforting to know you are around Alana." Suddenly a silhouette of a person appeared, then it materialized into a woman, having short, white hair and a pair of brown eyes, wearing various plates of armor made from dark leather. She kneeled before the princes, "Forgive me, I almost let those creatures attack you…" Pieuje smiled and put a hand on her shoulder, "its all right. If you hadn't attacked when you did, I believe Mareo would have stepped in." looking to him, "right?" Everyone was surprised at Pieuje's words and turned to Mareo, who nodded, "yes, since I have the power to fight, I would have stopped them…" Trion narrowed his eyes, "you said you know what these creatures are?" Mareo looked to the prince, "yes. They are called Heartless, they are the darkness in beings hearts manifested in physical form…they are the ones who attacked my world."


GAH! I didnt realize how hard it is to mesh two legends together...XD but I think I did it to the best of my abilities...so enjoy!
