Chapter 6: Yen Sid's Words
"Castle Oblivion, that's where Ven is!" Riku said in disbelief.
Aqua was a sleep in the shack on Destiny Islands, she had been resting over the past three days ever since her escape from darkness. Before she fell asleep earlier that day, Terra had asked her where Ven was.
"Our home," She had said."In Castle Oblivion."
Terra nodded."Have you been there?" He asked Riku.
"The Castle is practically one large trap system, it uses your own memories against you, Organization XIII was using it as a base until Sora and I came along. It's be close to impossible to even find the room Ven is in."
"Sounds great, but I think Aqua has a plan for it, or else she would not have put him there."
Riku scratched his cast."I wish I could help..."
"You've done enough as is, where is Sora? He could help."
Riku shrugged."Donald and Goofy needed his help with something and he took off, he came back a while ago when you were looking for Aqua in darkness, but he's gone."
"Okay."
Terra and Riku had been walking the beach, but when they got back, Aqua had stepped onto the beach.
"Morning sleepy head,"Terra chuckled.
Aqua smiled."Hello," She said.
"Feeling any better?" Terra asked. Riku looked into the sky.
"I'll be right back," He told Terra and headed off.
"A lot better Terra, it feels great having an actual sun on my back, not a moon like sun in darkness."
Terra shrugged."I wouldn't know, but I'm happy to know you're better."
Aqua looked away."We need to find your body."
"Well, if I think about it, the only way my heart could have separated from my body, would be Xehanort tampering with darkness, so that means I split into a Heartless and Nobody. Since I'm not a Heartless, i'm almost certain that my Nobody was destroyed as well."
Aqua shook her head."It can't be true, we'll look for it while getting Ven out of the Castle and search for his heart."
Riku ran back, King Mickey was with him.
"Hi guys!" Mickey said."It's great to see you again Aqua."
"Good to see you to Your Majesty."
Mickey smiled."Terra, my old master wishes to speak with you."
"Why?" Terra asked.
"He didn't say, but he wanted to see you before you go into Castle Oblivion."
Aqua frowned."How did you know that we were going into the Castle?" She asked.
"Master foresaw it," Mickey explained.
Terra nodded."Okay, I'll go right away, Aqua do you want to come?"
"Of course, then we can head right over to the Castle," Aqua said.
"Good luck you guys!" Mickey said.
"See you two later,"Riku added.
Terra summoned his rider and Aqua did the same. Now that she was back in the realm of light, she could summon her lost Keyblade and armor.
"No portal?" Riku asked.
"It feels weird to me, and I prefer my rider over risk of corruption of darkness any day," Terra explained.
Riku laughed as Aqua and Terra flew off toward the Mysterious Tower that was home to Master Yen Sid.
As they landed, they were greeted by Sora.
"Hi Sora!" Aqua said."Wow, you got so big!"
"It has been almost thirteen years Aqua," Terra reminded her.
"I know...but still, he got big!"
Terra chuckled.
"Do I know you guys?" Sora asked.
"You probably don't remember us," Terra admitted,
"I'm Aqua, and this is Terra, we met you when you were young. You, Riku and Kairi."
"Oh...okay...why are you guys here."
"Master Yen Sid wanted us, why are you here?" Terra asked.
"I...don't know exactly, first, I was at Radiant Garden fighting some Heartless with my friends, then I was here. Watching you guys fly toward me. Donald and Goofy are already in the Tower."
"Well, come on, let's go." Terra said.
They talked as they headed for Yen Sid's chamber.
"So you guys are Keyblade Masters," Sora said.
Aqua nodded.
"Aqua is, but I failed my test, so I'm not," Terra said sadly.
"Well, if it's any help, you are pretty good," Sora said, folding his hands behind his head.
"That's right, we did fight once."
"Terra's as good a friend as he is a Keyblade Master," Aqua stated.
Terra felt his heart warm up."Thank you Aqua."
Aqua smiled.
Sora laughed quietly to himself.
They opened the door to reveal Yen Sid talking to Donald and Goofy.
"Ahh Aqua, Terra, Sora...good to see you all." The old Master greeted.
Terra and Aqua bowed, remembering their Master Eraqus. Sora followed their example.
"You wanted to see me?" Terra asked.
"You, Aqua and Sora..." Yen Sid said."First, Aqua...you have been away from the realm of light for some time, many things have changed, prophesies rewritten...children grown, new generations of Keyblade Masters flourish...I have forseen that you will help raise the next generation of Keyblade warriors fight the threat the darkness offers to the worlds of light. For you, these are words of the future."
Aqua bowed, a little confused.
"Sora," Yen Sid started."In your heart, lies the heart of a sleeping friend of Terra and Aqua...the past holds many secrets...you have fought many trials that have come your way, but now it is time for you to save those of the past as well...heed these words...in the past, many stories have been told of light and dark...will darkness take over? Or will the Hero of Light bring peace to both realms...with the help of good friends, and unbreakable bonds like what Terra, Aqua and Ventus have, the Hero of Light will bring balance at last. For you, these are words of the past."
Sora bowed, even more confused then Aqua.
"And Terra, you lack of a body...you have boldly saved Aqua and are now facing the dangers of Castle Oblivion...in order to save Ventus, you will need help from your friends as well as your heart...as long as you listen to your heart, you will reach somewhere many people will never be able to reach...friendship and love can help you obtain such feats, and if you succeed in rescuing Ventus, return to me...I have a gift for you then. For you, these are words of the present."
Terra bowed.
"I have given you my prophesy, go and save Ventus...but a final warning, in the Castle, you will fight many that you wish you would never had meet again...the Castle has changed since Sora's adventure through the depths it...prepare yourself for the worst..."
The three bowed.
"Thank you for your wise words Master,"Aqua said.
Yen Sid nodded."Sora, you should go with them, you will be needed."
Sora nodded."Gotcha."
Donald and Goofy talked to Sora while Aqua and Terra mixed together some potions. When they were done, Sora. Aqua and Terra headed for Castle Oblivion, not knowing what to expect.
Okay... Sora's gonna help... Yen Sid's interesting speech, I wonder what the gift was...
Next stop; Castle Oblivion, and hopefully I can get it out tomorrow
Review, it'd be great.
