Blizzard, John, and the Dream Eater followed Yen-Sid as he led them through the corridors of the Tower of this Sorcerer. They climbed a winding staircase, their footsteps echoing in the hallowed halls. Finally, they reached the top floor, and Yen Sid gestured towards a grand set of double doors.
Young Yen Sid: Welcome to my office, guys. Please, enter.
Blizzard pushed open the doors, and the trio stepped inside, their eyes widening in awe at the sight before them. The office of the Young Yen Sid Tower was a blend of ancient mysticism and modern technology, surpassing their expectations.
The office is spacious and well-organized, with high ceilings and large windows that allowed natural light to pour in. The walls would be adorned with intricate magical symbols and ancient texts, conveying the wisdom and knowledge that Yen-Sid possesses. Advanced holographic displays would be scattered throughout the room, showcasing various worlds, their keyholes and vital information related to the ongoing battles against the darkness.
The furniture is a combination of traditional and modern elements. A grand desk made of polished wood would serve as the centerpiece, covered in scrolls, books, and magical artifacts. Comfortable chairs with intricate designs would be placed around the room for visitors. A magical fireplace would stand in one corner, radiating a warm and inviting glow, and a strange laptop computer in the table of this room.
Blizzard: Whoa, this place is incredible!
John: I've never seen anything like it. It's like stepping into a whole new world.
Dream Eater: (in amazement) Truly remarkable! The fusion of magic and modern technology is truly a sight to behold.
Young Yen Sid: I'm glad you find it to your liking. i tried my best.
Blizzard and John glanced around, taking in the ornate magical symbols, the holographic displays, and the shelves filled with ancient tomes.
Then, Yen-Sid proceed to sit on his chair, and then stared at Blizzard for a few seconds trying to evaluate him.
Young Yen Sid: So, to begin with... how much do you remember after waking up from that Deep Coma?
Blizzard: Yes, it's true. I don't remember much about my past or the Keyblade War from 118 years ago, but my Dream Eater has been with me since the Coma. He helped me regain little bit of my memories and abilities.
Dream Eater: That's right, Blizzard. I was able to reach out to you and awaken you from your slumber.
Young Yen-Sid: Seriously? i will have to write that detail in one of my books, but... I've never heard of a Dream Eater being able to do such a thing, let alone the ability to wake someone from a Eternal Coma. This is quite an extraordinary circumstance.
Blizzard: Do you know anything about my past, Yen-Sid? I'm trying to piece together my memories and figure out what happened during the Keyblade War.
Young Yen-Sid: I'm afraid I don't have all the answers, unlike you and the 49 Keyblade Wielders from 118 years ago, I was never in a Coma like you, in fact, I lived all my life from a Locked World, that I officially named the 'Crimson World' to this specific Locked World, which are these floating islands, along with this Tower. But I can certainly help you with what information I do have. Let's start with what you remember, but first.
Yen-Sid looked at Blizzard, sensing his confusion and lack of knowledge about the current time. With a mischievous glint in his eye, he decided to lighten the mood and reveal the truth in a playful manner.
Young Yen Sid: You two hasn't told him yet?
John and the Dream Eater looked at Yen-Sid both in confusion.
Young Yen Sid: Ah, dear Blizzard, it seems you've been caught in the tides of time without a clue about the current time, Let me give you a hint. The world you once knew has long since bid farewell. We are now in the year... drumroll, please... 2136! But, seriously... you guys should have told him earlier.
Blizzard's eyes widened in surprise, a mixture of shock and amusement crossing his face. He did realize the extent of time that had slipped away during his coma, but did not bother to count to know it, because of his subsequent adventures and duty as a Keyblade Wielder.
Blizzard: So, it's really being the year 2136, damm...
Yen-Sid chuckled, enjoying the response he elicited from Blizzard.
Blizzard: Anyway, Buddy told me that I was the only Keyblade wielder who was able to find and enter the Dream World, where I met him. But the other 49 Keyblade wielders never found it, which might be why they never had a Dream Eater with a strong enough connection to wake them up.
Young Yen-Sid: Hmm, that is indeed a possibility. Your Dream Eater must be quite remarkable to have woken you up from such a long slumber.
Dream Eater: Yes. My connection with Blizzard is quite strong, and it allowed me to wake him up from his slumber. I believe it was fate that brought us together.
Young Yen-Sid: Fate, you say? It is an interesting concept. Perhaps it was fate that brought you here as well, to this Tower. I have been keeping a watchful eye on the Locked Worlds, and I sensed your awakening. That is why I sent you the invitation.
John: Excuse me, Sorcerer. I have a question. Since I touched Blizzard's Keyblade three days ago, I've been having these strange hallucinations of a Keyblade War and feeling these weird sensations in my left hand. Do you have any idea what it could be?
Young Yen-Sid: Really? That quite concerning. Let me take a look at your hand, John.
(Yen-Sid inspects John's hand)
Young Yen-Sid: It seems that your hand is resonating with the power of the Keyblade. This could mean that you have the potential to become a Keyblade wielder, but it also means that you are susceptible to the memories and emotions of other Keyblade wielders. The hallucinations you are experiencing are likely a result of this resonance.
John: So what can I do about it? Can I make it stop?
Young Yen-Sid: Unfortunately, there is no easy solution. You will have to learn to control and harness the power of the Keyblade within you. It won't be easy, but with training and guidance, it is possible.
John: I see. Thank you for your help, Yen-Sid.
Young Yen-Sid: Of course, John. And do not worry, I sense a small amount of purity within you, despite your past as a soldier. You may have what it takes to become a true Keyblade wielder.
Suddenly, Yen Sid's expression turned somber as he recounted his own past and the events that led him to the isolated tower that is now part of his design.
Young Yen Sid: It's was normal and peaceful in the Crimson World, but one day, It was a time of chaos and despair. The Heartless and Nobodies ravaged the world I was born in, leaving no survivors except for me, not even my parents... I was but a young boy of the age of 13 when the darkness consumed everything I knew. It was then that the Keyblade chose me, bestowing upon me its power and the responsibility to protect the balance of light and darkness.
He paused, his gaze drifting as he recollected the memories of his journey.
Young Yen Sid: I stumbled upon a mysterious portal, an entrance point from which the Heartless emerged, I had no choice, but to go in out of desperation. It led me to this distant reality, a Locked World where an empty tower stood on a floating island among others. It was as if fate had guided me here, to this sanctuary. With the newfound magic and wisdom granted by the Keyblade, I dedicated myself to shaping and constructing this tower, a refuge amidst the vast expanse of the unknown.
Young Yen Sid: Over four years, I honed my skills, delved into ancient knowledge, and sought enlightenment, and recorded information in the Library, hoping that it will help future generations one day. This tower became my fortress of solitude and my place of contemplation. Through the solitude, I found solace, and through the silence, I discovered the whispers of the universe.
Blizzard and John listened intently, their curiosity piqued by Yen-Sid's tale of resilience and self-discovery.
Dream Eater: That's incredible, Yen-Sid. To overcome such tragedy and find purpose amidst the chaos, it's truly inspiring. You've turned this empty tower into something remarkable.
Yen-Sid nodded, a mixture of pride and melancholy in his eyes.
Blizzard and John exchanged glances, realizing the weight of their own destinies intertwining with that of Yen-Sid.
Yen-Sid clears his throat and begins to explain the different ranks of Keyblade wielders.
Young Yen-Sid: As I read more about the Nature of this World and analysed my own strength, I made up a theory of ranks, depending on the Wielder strength and spirit, but again this is just a theory.
'Rank one Keyblade wielders is those who have just awakened to the power of the Keyblade. They possess only one Keyblade and are still learning the basics of wielding it.
Rank two Keyblade wielders have proven themselves worthy of wielding two Keyblades simultaneously. They have a deeper understanding of the Keyblade's power and are more skilled in its use.
Rank three Keyblade wielders has mastered the art of dual-wielding, using two Keyblades as a single weapon.
Rank four Keyblade wielders has a deeper understanding of the connections between the hearts of all living things. They can sense the presence of other Keyblade wielders and can even communicate with them telepathically.
Rank five Keyblade wielders is able to wield three Keyblades at once, with each Keyblade representing a different aspect of their heart.
Rank six Keyblade wielders is able to wield four Keyblades at once. Their mastery of the Keyblade is unparalleled, and their skill is matched only by their wisdom.'
Young Yen-Sid: Finally, there are Rank seventh Keyblade wielders. There are none in existence as far as I know, but can I imagine the output of power is unmatched. One could possibly be able to fuse four Keyblades simultaneously and possibly possess the power to reshape worlds.
Yen-Sid takes a breath and looks at Blizzard and John.
Young Yen Sid: Of course, it's just a theory.
The Young Sorcerer reached for the two Keyblades resting on the nearby table and held them up for Blizzard and John to see.
Young Yen Sid: These are my Keyblades, (He said.) One is named 'Wisdom.' and the other is named 'Enlightenment.' They represent the knowledge and understanding I've gained since awakening to the Keyblade. (He then lifted both Keyblades and crossed them in front of him, holding them in place with his left hand while raising his right arm up. A bright light emanated from the crossed Keyblades as they began to merge together, forming a single Keyblade with a blade made of pure light.)
Young Yen-Sid: This is what is known as a Keyblade Fusion (Yen-Sid explained as he lowered his arm and held the newly formed Keyblade in both hands.) It's a technique that allows a Keyblade wielder to temporarily merge two or more Keyblades into a single, more powerful Keyblade. It's a technique that only the most skilled Keyblade wielders can perform, as it requires a deep understanding of the Keyblade's true nature. However, even after more than 4 years of training, is it very exhausting to use, so I don't really recommend using the Fusion in Battle, even if it proves to be powerful.
Young Yen-Sid: But, yes, that's correct. I have theorized that a Rank six or seven Keyblade Wielder could potentially fuse four Keyblades at the same time to create a powerful Keyblade that could rival the power of any weapons in the hyper verse. However, such an act would require an immense amount of strength, both physical and mental and should not be attempted lightly. It is merely a hypothesis at this point, as no one has ever attempted such a feat, not even me.
John: Wow, that's quite a theory. I don't think I've ever heard of something like that before.
Blizzard: It's certainly an interesting idea. But, is it even possible? And if it is, wouldn't it require an immense amount of power and skill?
Young Yen-Sid: Indeed. The possibilities of what can be achieved with the Keyblade are vast and varied. And while this theory is merely that, a theory, it's important to keep an open mind and explore all possibilities.
John: I agree. Who knows what we might discover if we continue to study and experiment with the Keyblade.
Blizzard: Yes, but we should also be careful. The power of the Keyblade is not something to be taken lightly, and it can be dangerous in the wrong hands.
Young Yen-Sid: Very true. Which is why it's important for us, as Keyblade wielders, to use our power wisely and for the greater good.
Young Yen-Sid: Yes, Yes, but... you all seem to be in dire need of new attire suitable for battle. It's ok guys. I have the means to provide such clothing. Please follow me to the wardrobe room.
He leads the group to a spacious room filled with various garments of different styles and colors. The Young Yen-Sid begins to browse through the racks, carefully selecting outfits that he believes will suit each of them.
Young Yen Sid: I have garments suitable for a wide range of combat styles and environments, he continues. Please feel free to choose whichever outfit you feel most comfortable with. And don't worry, the fabric is enchanted to provide protection and durability during battle.
Blizzard and John are amazed by the selection and grateful for Yen-Sid's generosity. They quickly change into their new outfits, feeling stronger and more prepared for whatever challenges may come their way.
John: Guess this vest has finally done its job. I've had it for years, and it's saved my life more times than I can count. It's time for a new one anyway.
Blizzard: You're lucky to have something like that. I've never had any armor or protection in my life. Just my keyblade and my wits.
John: Yeah, it's been a lifesaver. But I agree with Yen-Sid, we need some new gear for our battles ahead. I don't want to be caught unprepared again.
Young Yen-Sid: When you are done selecting your new clothing, you may use the bathroom pool to clean yourselves up. No offense guys, but you two stink... Also, it is also made out of magic, and it will wash away the dirt and blood from your battles. You will feel refreshed and renewed afterward. It's just down the hall to your left. Take your time and make sure you choose the appropriate attire for your battles.
As Blizzard and John entered the Bathroom Pool, they felt the warm water soothing their aching bodies. John let out a contented sigh and leaned back against the edge of the pool. Blizzard's Dream Eater, still perched on his legs, seemed to enjoy the warmth as well.
Blizzard leaned back and closed his eyes, letting the water wash over him.
Blizzard: This feels amazing. (he said with a contented sigh.)
John nodded in agreement.
John: Yeah, it's been a while since I've been able to take a real bath like this.
Yen-Sid's voice sounded from outside the door.
Young Yen-Sid: Glad to hear it. You two have been through a lot, and I figured you could use some rest and relaxation.
Blizzard opened his eyes and looked towards the door.
Blizzard: Thank you, Yen-Sid. This is really nice of you.
The Young Sorcerer chuckled.
Young Yen Sid: Think nothing of it. It's the least I can do for one brave Keyblade wielder and a Soldier who are trying to save the Locked Worlds.
John spoke up.
John: Speaking of saving the Locked Worlds, do you have any more information on what we should do next?
There was a moment of silence before Yen-Sid responded.
Young Yen-Sid: There is still much to learn and discover. But for now, rest and recuperate. You'll need your strength for later.
Blizzard and John nodded in agreement, and they settled back into the warm water, feeling a sense of peace and comfort in the knowledge that they found themself a wise friend and ally.
Blizzard and John were enjoying the hot water in the Bathroom Pool when they suddenly heard a voice close to them.
Familiar Voice: Yo! How you guys doing?
Blizzard and John and the Dream Eater suddenly felt a powerful sensation of Anxiety, before they had the time to open their eyes.
