KINGDOM HEARTS
AWAKENING
DARK PROPHECY REVEALED
Greenwood battle was only a sad memory, one year passed since Renard fell during his only and first mission; Berry, the little rabbit was now a royal guard at Disney's castle and Leela just finished her magical training with Mama Odie in New Orleans. During that time everything seemed quite normal but Yen Sid still had his doubts and felt that something was wrong.
Most of his doubts were about to have an answer, King Mickey summoned him and the other sorcerers and fairies: Merlin, Yen Sid, the three good fairies, Rafiki and even someone they didn't expected: Maleficent.
No one was happy to see her there but Mickey explained that her presence was necessary because she was the only one who could understand an old prophesy…
"And the light will be covered with darkness, but inside this darkness lays the key that will bring you hope and light…" she ended with a deep voice.
"What do you mean with that?" one of the good fairies said.
"I don't know the meaning, I'm just the interpreter. You know what I'm talking about old wizard; something is not right since your… little pet's adventure"
"Knock it off Maleficent! How you dare to say such words, Renard is… was my friend and did what it was necessary to help those poor villagers" The new Keyblade Master said while pointing straight to Maleficent's face.
"I agree, Maleficent; I too feel something odd after Renard's battle, almost like if it's connected to the Keyblade"
There was only silence after Yen Sid's words. If he was right, then the battle at Greenwood was only the beginning of something bigger.
"What should we do now? We can't stay here without doing anything" Mickey said.
"It doesn't matter who treats this kingdom, we'll face them and emerge victorious" Goofy, the king's right hand and best friend acted like if everything were to be fixed.
"Don't be a fool, we're not strong enough and even don't know if there's someone planning something evil"
"It doesn't matter because as long as we stay together, there's no foe we can beat"
Mickey smiled at Goofy; he was right about staying together but Maleficent interrupted while Donald and Goofy were arguing as if they were kids, which made Merlin have a headache.
"Can both of you stop? You're making me go crazy"
"Those fools only fight each other and obviously don't need me anything else from me" The witch started to walk away with her loyal crow on her shoulder, offended by the wizard's and fairies attitude.
"I'm leaving too" Yen Sid rose and thanks everyone by being there.
"Me too, Arthur might need me; boy, that kid has always adventures on his young mind and I'm afraid that if I'm not there, he'll do something dangerous"
Once everyone left, King Mickey started to feel nervous; so he gave orders to Leela and those orders were to visit New Orleans where one of her teachers lives and asks her about the "Unlock Light" spell because he knew that she might needed soon.
"Donald will go with ya; he will need to learn it too"
"WHAT? There's no way you will make me go to the swamp, no way!"
And just before he knew it, he and Leela were standing outside the castle and entering into the portal that will lead them to New Orleans. As soon as she entered into the portal, Leela had a small headache but faded right away. Now they were standing at the swamp's shore, when Donald stared at her, Leela immediately knew something was wrong.
"Um, there's something different on you?"
"Well, actually you look kinda different"
"Different?"
"Can you look your hands?"
She did it and they were too different, instead of hands she had paws and when looked her reflect in the water gave a big scream; she wasn't human anymore, instead she was turned into an otter.
"What happened to me? Why I'm an otter? A cute one, but why?"
Donald was speechless and staring at Leela's transformation, transforming a living thing into another living thing obviously was difficult and forbidden, only an experimented magician could do it.
"Stop staring at me like that! I'm a girl and nude! Where are your manners?" said at the same time that she pushed Donald into the water.
"Let's find Mama Odie, she'll help you with this, um, little problem?"
"Darn it, I can't walk with this huge tail making me trip every step I give"
They walked a couple of hours until Leela felt tired, her new body was causing her problems; so they rested inside a tree, while Leela started a small fire, Donald found enough food for both.
"My feet are killing me"
"If you're an animal now, so you don't have feet but paws"
"You're enjoying this, isn't?" she stared at Donald with her beautiful blue eyes.
Soon, Leela started to feel tired; she wasn't used to have fur over her body, which made her feel a bit uncomfortable and cold. When Donald noticed how hard the night was for her, he lay down next to her and hugged her.
"Um, what are you doing?"
"Don't be mean; I'm just sharing my heat with you, so you won't feel any cold"
"Oh, thanks; but don't you think I'll like you after this"
"No problem"
The next morning they continued their travel through the swamp, Leela started to like her new body, every five minutes she stopped to watch her reflect in the water; thinking that she was really cute and lovely but Donald didn't liked it, they were wasting time and if both wanted to get their way to Mama Odie's house, they'll need to make it fast. When reached a dry place, took a moment to relax and rest.
"I'm not really used to walk bare foot"
"And I suppose YOUR majesty wants a foot massage"
Leela giggled with malice while her cheeks blushed
"I'd love to"
"You must be kidding, why should I?"
"Because I'm a girl and this isn't my environment; besides, if you make me this little favor, I promise I'll reward you with a kiss" said at the moment she winked.
"It's a deal? You're not making fun of me"
"You have the Keyblade Master's words"
"Ok, ok; but you promised me a kiss after this"
After several minutes Donald finished and Leela fulfilled her promise and gave Donald a huge kiss on his cheek. She giggled when noticed Donald's reaction; actually he was kind of cute when blushed and tried to hide it. Donald was about to giggle too but suddenly they were surrounded by shadows who were laughing and showing their teeth. Maybe some action might her feel better, she was always up to any fight.
"What the…!" she said
"What are you waiting for, why don't you take the Keyblade?"
"We have a problem… I can't summon it!"
"Time for the plan B"
"Plan B?"
"RUN!" Donald said and left Leela behind, making her feel useless and started to give some steps backwards while laughing nervously and run when her legs allowed it.
Well, this is how the third chapter ends; I hope you liked it. Who imagined that Donald had a sweet side? In the personal I liked writing about him treating Leela as a queen when she promised him a kiss.
Why Leela was unable to use the Keyblade and what or who transformed her into an otter? The next episode: The Voodoo Master and the frog.
