Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts as that belongs to Disney & Square-Enix…WHY? -shot- This awesome Armory Themed Challenge belongs to RoseOfADifferentColor… Clearly not me. LOL
A/N: Okay, I haven't updated in a while. :P Coming up with how to write these is getting slightly harder, but I think when I touched/seen the themes after this one…I can do some lighthearted ones. LOL
Auron: one of the badasses of the Final Fantasy series. Yay! :) …Where's my Final Fantasy X HD, Square Enix? D: Anyways, I tried to play on that theory (I guess?) that the Auron in KH2 is still the same Auron from the original game, but I don't know. I'll let you interpret this however you want. ;)
Thanks for your patience! You reading this and/or reviewing mean a lot to me!

If there was one thing he could tell, then it was stories; battle stories to be precise. Auron always knew since the moment he picked up a katana that his life would begin and end on the battlefield. He 'lived up' to that expectation, but what Auron carried with him until his last breath was not glory, but guilt.
So what if he was decorated with medals of honors; achievements others saw as a source of envy? Auron counted not the number of opponents he defeated in the past, but kept in mind the number of people who fell before him. That was his nightmare of the Battlefields of War…
"Hey, Auron? You still with us?" Snapping out of his meandering thoughts, the hardened warrior glanced down at the young boy crouching to catch his gaze. Sora grinned, ignoring how his companions (his short, feathered friend anyway) argued which tunnel of the Underworld to take. "Glad to see you're still among the living! …Kind of."
Auron quietly stared before showing a subtle smirk. His memories of the battlefield were glum, but if children like Sora can have that kind of smile… Maybe Auron's duties as a guardian weren't for naught.
