*Hey guys Hakuorofan7 here and welcome to another chapter of From No One to Someone...albeit a short one. And their os a reason for that.*
*It is the first day of summer and I decided the best way to celebrate that is the only way I can think of.*
*A triple update!*
*Anyway here is how it works, for the next 24 hours I will post 3 new chapters to my stories. And they are 2 chapters for this story and one for Hanyo of Snow, so I hope you are all happy with that, well mainly with the former at least.*
*So here is how it goes, the next chapter I promised I divided it into two parts and then into three parts. The reason for this is because the next three chapters concerns three differnt worlds.*
*The reason this chapter is so short is because it was an introduction part of the next chapter. But since that will cover two different worlds I decided to split it in two and start up this celebration with this one...that and the second part is still under construction.*
*So here is the plan, I upload this and if the next part isn't finished by midnight, I will update Hanyo of Snow first and then have the next chapter finished by the end of the 24 hours. If it is finished before, then expect this story to update real soon.*
*Anyway I believe it is time to start.*
*First I do not own Kingdom Hearts.*
*Secondly just sit back, relax, maybe put some music on, and enjoy. I will see you all at the end of the chapter.*

A Talk with an Enchantress
Roxas silently fiddled with that Thalassa shell in his hands as he waited to make sure that Terra was fully asleep.
It had been two hours since it was his turn to watch over the campsite. Two hours he spent watching for any Unversed. Two hours, pondering what happened to his friends in the future and the mystery of Xion.
All he could come up with was blanks. What that it was possible he had a connection to Ven, that Sora had encountered Terra in his armor and was terrified of it, and that he could still only remember Xion's name and nothing else.
So he decided to instead focus on the situations on hand and save his other worries. He found focus on his main one, that always Vanitas and the Unversed.
Considering that one was a species deadlier then the average Heartless or Nobody and lead by an ancient Keyblade wielder, they were certainly providing to be a big issue.
Especially with what Eraqus said was true and that they were targeting the Princesses of Heart. He didn't know where half of them were and Alice should be away in a world only accessible through Wonderland.
So he made a plan to check out the worlds of the Princesses he knew about and see if the Unversed were active on their worlds. He has planed to check up on them when he first heard the Unversed were targeting them.
As he didn't know if the apprentices were going to those worlds or not, so he might as well check them while he could.
So he put his shell away and went back into the tent. Checking to see that Terra was a sleep he walked out of the tent and opened a Corridor of Darkness to his first destination.
Beast's Castle and the nearby village of Villeneuve, home of Belle.
When he exited the corridor he was greeted with the sight of the stone bridge leading to and from the Castle.
The same location he had fought the Infernal Engine Heartless and where Sora had defeated Xaldin 10 years from now.
Basically there was a lot of painful memories here. The thought of that Heartless in particular left him rubbing a few phantom bruises.
He shook them off and noticed that that unlike 10 years from now…this place looked like it still held some life to it. Although he could tell the place was still cursed, it wasn't as dilapidated as it was in the future. It must've been recently cursed then.
As much as the Nobody wished he could help, it wasn't his job to do so.
The one who will brake the curse though, he needed to see how she was doing.
Throwing one last look at the castle, Roxas walked down the bridge and into the the forest.
The path was filled with blackened trees and a bone chilling wind. The howls of wolves kept him on edge in the distance, but there was no sign of Unversed anywhere.
It seemed like the only real danger here was the ravenous wolves, whose eyes were now starting to appear before him.
A simple sphere of light managed to scare them off. It was much larger then the ones he had been able to use while training with Terra, but it served its purpose well and the wolves kept themselves at bay.
The Nobody kept this sphere up for a few more minutes before the strain was starting to get to him a little. However he kept the light up as he sensed that he was not alone and it wasn't a wolf nearby. No, by the feel of their heart it was someone powerful.
He kept the light up until he could feel the intruder was right on top of him. Dissipating the light he summoned Oathkeeper and brandished it at the cloaked figure behind him.
"A Keyblade wielder, I should have known." The figure, a woman said getting the Nobody to lower his Keyblade.
"So you know about us then?" Roxas asked getting the woman to nod.
"I've meet one of your kind years ago, a silver haired young man who wished to see the worlds as he put it. Made the mistake of crashing through my roof as his entrance point." The woman said, sounding a little annoyed at the end.
"I see and if I might take a guess, who are the one who cursed the castle?" Roxas asked, getting the woman to tense up.
He could sense her power and if she turned hostile, he had no intention of being cursed by her.
"Indeed I am, and what were you planning on doing with that information?" The enchantress asked dangerously, an aura of magic behind her.
"Nothing, absolutely nothing. As much I wish to help, I know that I'm not the one meant to lift the curse. All I am here to check on someone who is important to this world." Roxas said, getting the enchantress to pause.
"Is that your only reason?" She asked, getting the Nobody to nod. "Is this someone one with a pure heart?"
"That is correct, then you know who I'm looking for. I'm just here to see if she is alright and then I am leaving." Roxas said with the enchantress studying him for a few moments. She let out a sigh and pulled out a mirror with the surface of it started to glow green.
"I can see that you are speaking the truth, so I will show you her." The enchantress said as the mirror showed a sleeping brown haired girl, no doubt Belle. "She just moved into Villeneuve a few months ago along with her father to avoid the plague that has spread throughout most of the country and has claimed the life of her mother, the poor dear. I senesced her heart immediately and with her intellect and kindness I knew she would be important in the future, your appearance has only confirmed it."
"Indeed she will be." Roxas said while handing the enchantress her mirror back. "Though I do have one question, where you planning on ever lifting the curse?"
He might have completed his purpose for being on this world, but that question had been bothering him sensed he sensed her. Her heart was fairly balanced and she seemed like a decent enough person, so why go to such an extreme?
The enchantress stayed silent for a few moments before she spoke up.
"If the prince could learn humility and compassion and and fulfill the conditions of the curse I will lift it even after the last petal falls. If not then I will lift the curse on his servants first and depending on his reaction him as well. He was starting to become as much as a tyrant to the common people he ruled as his father was. So I could not allow that to happen again." The enchantress said, and the Nobody could tell that by the magic radiating off her that she was daring him to challenge her.
"I can see your point." Roxas sighed out while summoning a Corridor behind him. "But if you asked me this was just going a bit too far, but that is my own opinion. But I believe you should be asking yourselves one thing?"
"And that is?" The enchantress asked tensely.
"If your curse and the effect it had would really be worth it in the end." Roxas asked before walking into the Corridor, leaving the enchantress to think about his words.
The screen dies down and you find the author right next to you with a large popcorn and drink.
*Hey guys, Hakuorofan7 here and I hoped that you all enjoyed this chapter.*
*As I told you guys this was the begining of the next chapter so that is why it is so short...that and I had no clue what to put for this part, sue me.*
*Though I can admit I had more then enough planned for the next two chapters, with the next one more then making up for this chapter.*
*Now you can clearly see what Roxas's plan was, to check on the Princesses of Heart. at least the locations of ones that he knows the locations of. He doesn't know where the home worlds of Cinderella and Aurora are yet and Terra hasn't told him of Snow White yet so he is clueless of the fact he was on the same world as her...that and by the time they were looking for Ven she had already bit the apple. So she was indispossed at the time, but if my chronology is correct then Aqua should be taking care of at the moment.*
*With Alice in a world he can't access that just leaves him with three options Belle, Jasmine, and Kairi and he just crossed off the first one off of that list.*
*Anyway as I had this planned for a while and mentioned it in an earlier chapter if I remember correctly.*
*And the silver haired Keybalde wielder that the enchantress, aka Agathe mentioned is who you think it is.*
The author snaps his fingers and walks to the project.
*In fact let me show you, as a way to make up for how short this chapter was. I hope you all enjoy this.*
The author taps the projector and the screen once again flares to live.
A Horrendous First Stop
Modern Era, around 40 years ago
Forest between Beast's Castle and Villeneuve
Xehanort could only groan as he picked himself up from the rubble he had crashed into.
He knew that should have trained a little more in how to use the Corridor of Darkness despite his Master's insistence that he was ready.
Yet he tried so anyway, all he ended up doing was crash through a wooden shack from 20 feet in the air.
He got up and was about to regain his bearings and vanish when he saw and angry blonde woman in front of him, with a broom in one hand and magic rippling from her other one.
"I'm going to give you two options, either you sweep up the remains of my roof willingly and rebuild it from scratch or I will turn you into a broomstick for the rest of the day and then make you fix it through force. So chose wisely." The enraged sorceress demanded angerly.
Xehanort spend the next three days rebuilding the roof by hand and told the enchantress whatever she wanted.
An exhausted Xehanort opened a Corridor of Darkness to the Keyblade Graveyard and perched himself on a rocky outcropping.
Another Corridor opened from behind him and he saw a figure in a Black Coat emerge with the hood up.
"Well that was certainly fast, I expected you to have been through quite a few worlds before you returned. So how many world have you seen and what happened?" The figure asked, his voice ancient with a trace of sadness and concern, but still carried a tone of mirth into his words.
"Only one and I do not wish to talk about it now." Xehanort sighed out, causing the figure to sigh. He turned to face the young Keyblade Master, the silver eyes underneath his hood brimming with concern.
"Looks like you were right kid, you did need more practice. So here is what we are going to do, you are going to get some rest and we are going to talk about what happened once you are refreshed. After that we are going to spend the rest of the week training on the Corridor of Darkness." The figure said before placing a hand on Xehanort's shoulders. "Then we are going to send you off with a proper send off with streamers, confetti, cake, basically the whole party schtick and will have yourself a proper world tour!"
"I take it that you would do you, despite what I may say." Xehanort sighed out with a small smile.
"You bet!" The figure declaired, getting Xehanort to chuckle a bit.
"Very well Master, if that is what you wish." Xerhaort said as he seperated himself from the hooded figure.
"Also take a shower before you rest, you smell like you haven't bathed in days." His Master said, getting Xehanort to chuckle a bit as the two began to walk in two different directions.
"Until next time Master." Xehanort said.
"Until next time my apprentice." His Master said back.
The two of them opened their respective Corridors and vanished into them.
The projector died down and you were once again greeted by the author.
*Hope you guys enjoyed my omake and a bit of Xehanort's past being flushed out.*
*As you can tell I have just seen the Re:mind trailer and might have already figured out a bit of what I have planed.*
*But I will leave it for the next chapter and allow you all to process everything that I have just unleashed.*
*So anyway next chapter will be the desert world of Agrabah and things don't exactly go as planned for Roxas and someone else not one of you may have suspected. It should have more then enough action and story to help celebrate this story finally breaking 100,000 words so I hope you all will be waiting for that within the next 24 hours.*
*Though I will leave a suggestion to bring plenty of water as things will heat up significantly next chapter.*
*So if you have any questions let me know through PM or review and I will get back to you later.*
*I have a chapter to work on, so until next time ciao!*
The author snaps his fingers and the screen fades to black.
