Author's Note: Thank you for tuning in to this chapter. While reading these reviews, one of you stated that Destiny Island is a small world according to Sora, Riku, and Xehanort, and the rest of the part of the other island that I unfortunately added as my own fanfic, contradicting the setting of the Kingdom Hearts series. Nevertheless, this detail alone sparks some interest in my fanfic. Some may argue that there are several female characters remaining as candidates for the Princess of Light, whether the title is passed on from former princesses or is a new one. It's merely foreshadowing. I hope my ideas in the next chapters are not akin to those fanfics with cringe storylines, provoking confusion and frustration, unlike the authors I admire. It's almost as bad as Stage 4 (Cancer) League of Legends and the challenges of Autism, possibly leading to cringe-induced mortality. It's not life-threatening, but it could affect your sanity. (I don't intend to offend other fanfic writers, but it's true).

Since Kingdom Hearts 4, including the spin-off mobile series Missing Link, will be released soon in 2025, this will affect the storyline itself. However, with the announcement of Tetsuya Nomura's soon-to-be retirement from the game company and his works... This is heartbreaking news for new fans of the Kingdom Hearts series, as the entire series will reach its climactic finale involving the Lost Masters and the Ancient Keyblade wielders. We are waiting to find out how it ends in the next year or two... Be careful about spoilers, as they can ruin your experience with your favorite series.

Nevertheless, in order to preserve the legacy after his retirement from the Kingdom Hearts series, many of you will replay the game series, starting from where it began to KH3: ReMind. Some of you, like me, will write fanfiction of our own, as a hobby or fun with alternate endings or crossovers after the main events, such as Sora being whisked away after his battle against Yozora into the world of your favorite game, such as Wuthering Waves, Azur Promilia (released in late 2025), etc.

Without further ado, enjoy reading this chapter.

In the 'dream' realm where Sora and Ameth are seen in the distance, they are talking about their topic in hand, almost lively as you can see. While in the middle of their conversation or after Sora has summarized all of his tale, this part where Sora was surprised by Ameth on what he had discovered...

"Wait... you can see all of my adventures with your power through dreams... that's awesome!" Sora said in amazement, with a nervous expression. Even without being worried about the rule called World Order... so much for Donald screeching the word "ORDER!!!" inside his head for now.

"Looks like you hit a jackpot, Sora. I had the ability to see all the memories of a person like you, Sora. As I remember it correctly, your journey starts with your homeland being swallowed by the main enemy called Heartless, saving not only the whole universe three times and defeating Xehanort and his flunkies, but also saving those individuals who've lost to the Darkness with the power of a unique weapon called Keyblade. Well, color me impressed, you seem to be an interesting individual like you, Sora. Although, there are some instances where you had to bend the rules like the timelines of the universe to win against Xehanort and his friends using that Power of Waking of yours, if your friends are already dead or in trouble, even that cost your own life. Good grief, so much for this stuff in my head," she said, keeping the last part of her sentence to herself.

While many of his escapades left Ameth puzzled and with a touch of a headache regarding the enigmatic realms of Kingdom Hearts lore, including the X-blade, the Keyblade War, Organization XIII, Heartless, Nobodies, Darkness, Dream Eaters, and beyond, the truth wasn't as straightforward and pristine. Reflecting on his past experiences, she understood it was far from simple and immaculate.

In regards to the Dream Eaters, beings akin to trusted allies like Donald and Goofy, they inhabit the Realm of Dreams as part of Sora's examination for the Mark of Mastery. These charming creatures, particularly the cuddly and endearing Meow Wow, evoke a strong desire within her to shower them with affection. However, her fondness is tinged with a distaste for the malevolent counterparts known as Nightmares, who feed on pleasant dreams and sow fear in their wake. Conversely, Spirits, a Dream Eater of opposing nature, offer a glimmer of hope.

On the subject of Donald and Goofy, stalwart defenders of King Mickey's realm and companions to both The King and Sora, they have been steadfast allies throughout various adventures across different worlds. Yet, a lingering grievance for Ameth stems from when they momentarily strayed from Sora's side to aid Riku and temporarily took his Keyblade. This act, intended for Riku but ultimately wielded by Sora, underscored a profound truth: Sora's strength lies not in weaponry but in the bonds of camaraderie. Ultimately, Sora's resilience and the power of friendship prevailed, allowing him to reclaim his rightful place alongside his companions, demonstrating that true strength emanates from within.

As Ameth lost herself in the trance about his tales, The Power of Waking, an adorable Dream Eater, and his other companions... "Uhh, Ameth, you're okay?" Sora said with a confused look, which made her snap out of it.

"Whoops, sorry about that, Sora."

"Naah, that's fine, Ameth. But... say, I thought your story was going to be that long!" Sora said, switching his tone with a disappointed expression. "So, what about yours?" he continued with a question.

"My bad, Sora. I did say that before, which I had to, but I shortened it so you wouldn't get bored by my topic being too long. So, my turn, isn't it?" she said, which made Sora nod.

As Ameth elaborates on her past stint as a Navigational Fairy within Astraea, she delves into the intricacies of her role as a guiding beacon for fellow players. These ethereal creatures are instrumental in furnishing crucial details, aiding in tutorials, and facilitating seamless navigation through the game's myriad menus, quests, and functionalities. Amidst the fantastical realm of The Legend of Astrum, a major aspiration for multitudes of players is a daunting ascent to the apex of the Tower of Sol. Here, a pilgrimage ensues to accumulate enigmatic orbs christened as Sol Orbs before rendezvousing with an enigmatic AI entity known as Minerva, capable of granting fervent desires. This spectacle leaves Sora in a state of wonderment and perplexity. What most astounds Sora is the expansive turnout of participants partaking in the key happenings, prompting his curiosity regarding the camaraderie fostered among various cohorts who have banded together to realize shared dreams. Moreover, to his amazement, he learns of Ameth's affiliation with a guild dubbed Twinkle Wish—which comprises a trio of valiant women—where she speaks of a certain Yui Kusano, triggering a flood of memories concerning his encounter with her alongside Kairi amidst the dramatic finale featuring Xemnas. Noteworthy it is that Yui's companions in arms, Hiyori and Rei, kindle a sense of joy within Sora for the bond they've forged. Yet, it remains a mystery to him the enigmatic nature of the AI figure Minerva and the potential adversaries in the form of a faction dubbed WISDOM and the enigmatic The Seven Crowns, purportedly the architects of the game itself. Sora grapples with the motives behind their quest for Minerva, torn between contemplating their intentions as either malevolent or benevolent in nature, which it reminds him about the organization called Organization 13, which puts him a bad taste in his mouth.

She reassured Sora that not all Seven Crowns were malevolent, much to his relief. Some individuals they encountered were not part of the AI-hunting plans or were at least aware of the consequences. One notable person they met was Labyrista, known as "The Labyrinth Queen," during her fairy days with Twinkle Wish guild. Uncovering the true intentions of WISDOM and The Seven Crowns, she distanced herself to explore the virtual world's mysteries. However, unknown to even herself, Labyrista's ultimate aim was to locate Sora and understand his motives for his disappearance, even though Sora himself was unaware of this. While one Seven Crown remained enigmatic, there was uncertainty about his alignment with their nefarious endeavors.

After you guys collect all the Sol Orbs and climb to the top of the tower, what happens next, Ameth? Do all of you have your wishes granted? Tell me..." Sora questions her on what happens next, which leads Ameth herself to a grim expression.

"...Well..., Sora, things are... getting too dark out there..." she said, as Sora noticed her expression with a confused look on his face and said, "Huh, what do you mean too dark?"

After Ameth concurred with Sora's viewpoint, she proceeded to narrate further. Upon reaching the tower's summit, the duo discovered that they were too late; Minerva had already been reached by someone else who was in the process of merging with her. The mysterious individual turned out to be a member of the Seven Crowns, renowned as "Kaiser Insight." As the purpose of Minerva's granting remained unclear, a climactic showdown erupted between Twinkle Wish and "Kaiser Insight," driven by everyone's intertwined desires. Despite Hiyori's uncertainties about facing a formidable foe, Kaiser revealed an unprecedented ability only known to Sora — the power of Darkness. Curious about its origin, Sora inquired about the source of this power in the absence of Organization 13 and Heartless activities, only to be met with Ameth's denial of knowledge regarding Kaiser's bestowal. To resolve the conflict, they had to confront Kaiser and her newfound strength decisively once and for all.

As Ameth recounted the outcome of the battle between Twinkle Wish and a Seven Crowns warrior, Sora's heart grew heavy with the heartbreaking news that Twinkle Wish had been defeated, and Kaiser had come out triumphant. "This can't be real... How did you... lose?!" Sora exclaimed in disbelief. Ameth nodded in agreement and added, "That's how I ended up like this," as she revealed her unusual mechanical-looking wing hovering behind her.

She went on to explain that something unexpected gave Yui a final burst of strength, attempting to counter Kaiser's wish that aimed to defeat her, but ultimately, it wasn't enough to overcome "Kaiser." With Minerva's remaining power, Ameth managed to reset the entire video game world of Astraea, saving everyone, including her former comrades, but it came at a steep price. Numerous players, including Yui and the Twinkle Wish members Hiyori and Rei, became trapped there, their memories altered to make them believe they had lived there since birth, adding yet another layer of shock for Sora.

This incident eerily reminded Sora of his own past, where his memories were tampered with by Organization 13 in Castle Oblivion, using Namine under Marluxia's lead in an attempt to overthrow the other members with his Keyblade. However, Sora and his friends Donald and Goofy ultimately overcame them, despite enduring a year-long slumber. But in Astrum, the story unfolded differently...

"That concludes my tale for now... Do you have any queries, Sora?" Ameth inquired. "I'm concerned about the fate of the Seven Crowns and those still trapped. Sitting idly is not an option for me... What's the plan now?" Sora asked passionately, punctuating with an additional exclamation mark.

"And this is your que, Sora."

"Excuse me?"

"Undoubtedly, you stand as the protector of the Kingdom Hearts realm and beyond, having succeeded thrice. However, as we embark on this new journey in Astraea, a divergence emerges. If you seek to alter the course of events and elude the inevitable, a fresh narrative awaits, unlike any previous unfolding," Ameth voiced Sora with optimism.

"You mean, I can do it, but can I do everything alone?" Sora said aback.

"Absolutely, it's true. But remember, you're not on this journey alone; besides relying on your Keyblade, your power lies in forging new connections and making friends in the realm of Astraea." Ameth emphasized this as she playfully tapped Sora's chest with her trusty cane, underscoring her point.

"My heart?" Sora said

"Indeed, feel free to craft more connections, regardless of your distance from your former companions," she gently remarked, triggering a wave of nostalgia in Sora. Recalling the bittersweet memories of his past adventures, he cherished the heartfelt bonds he forged and the joy they shared. Following the Keyblade War, parting ways with dear friends to save Kairi weighed heavily on his heart. Little did he know his connection with them would resurface in unexpected ways, leading him down a path of newfound self-discovery.

"Oh, and by the way... I've already sent someone for your new journey who will also be your guide."

"Like... you did before?"

"Of course, just make sure you two make a connection with each other. Something better: as friends, just like a master and servant relationship."

"Wait, you mean... I'm with a servant and I'm also her master, but I'm not a...!!" Sora said with disbelief.

"AND STOP WHINING ABOUT YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A KEYBLADE MASTER!!"

Surprised by the sudden change in Ameth's expression, Sora was taken aback when her demeanor shifted swiftly to anger upon learning he hadn't achieved Keyblade Master status, abruptly halting his sentence mid-tell.

"...Pardon me, Sora, but having a guide by your side does not require getting any privileges with the master title. Whenever she calls you by your name, if you're comfortable with it, or for example, Milord, don't even try to do that like what you've said a second ago. So that your journey in Astrum will be comfortable. Got that? And are you listening?" She said in front of Sora, calming herself down, mid-sentence.

Now, finally understanding what Ameth said, Sora nodded in agreement and said, "Yes and... Thank you, Ameth..." in the end.

She reminded him, "Remember the 'long' story I mentioned earlier? You must keep that to yourself to avoid confusion and prevent panic from escalating, especially in front of my former friends." With a chuckle, she added, "Just like you follow the World Order from that wizard of yours, named Yen Sid, right?" She was aware of Sora's ongoing mental distress, as he had believed that he had broken the rules of the world known as the "World Order."

"...Yeah... Got that, Ehehehehe," Sora replied gleefully with a nervous expression, as if Donald would scream the word "ORDER, OORRDDEERR!!!" internally for the rest of his life.

When discussing the concept of World Order, a specific protocol must be strictly adhered to by interdimensional voyagers like Sora to maintain equilibrium among different realms. The imperative is to keep their presence clandestine while engaged in missions pivotal to the salvation of worlds—an intricate task given that their exceptional abilities are foreign to the realms they visit. Nonetheless, for Ameth, this principle becomes a delicate balancing act, as Sora's tenure in her world proves fleeting. Even the cautionary voices of Donald and Goofy echo, emphasizing the prohibition within that domain. Yet, Sora opts to defy this guideline in pursuit of resolution, particularly in instances where his altruistic endeavors face unwarranted scrutiny. Ultimately, he averts undeserved blame, earning Ameth's endorsement, who acknowledges his prerogative to unravel almost every detail concerning her identity as a pivotal observer in the pivotal event that forestalls potential chaos and uncertainty—save for dire circumstances that might demand his intervention.

"Alright, let's move forward. Got it all down? Perfect. And now, Sora! Your adventure within Astraea is about to kick off... Prepare yourself for new alliances, fresh obstacles, and unsolved enigmas in this realm. Despite not claiming the Keyblade Master title, you've been a hero by rescuing Kingdom Hearts not just once or twice, but three times, defying the universe's norms by following your inner guidance!" When she already finished preparing for Sora's departure using her digital powers, Sora was taken aback by Ameth's words marking the start of his new journey, but he reacted by clenching his fist against his heart with a content grin as a gesture of acknowledgement.

Just as Ameth uses her power to send Sora to Astrum, she asks him a question, one more time...

Do you have any words to say?

"Thank you for telling me a story, but I'll keep it for you, as a friend." He said with a smile.

"Exactly like you, Sora. That's how it went," she replied.

"By the way, Ameth. And now... May your heart be your guiding Key, Ameth!!..." Sora's words resonated as he disappeared in a surge of lights and digital energy, certain that her skills would safely transport him to where he needed to be—a reunion point with his new mentor and close friend.

"May your heart guide you as well, Sora!!". She observed his departure with a smile, confident she hadn't misdirected him, her cheeks slightly pink from his encouraging words to her.

...

...

"Ah, now that he's ahead of me... So many theories and unanswered questions swirling around, hm, where to dive in first? This has been consuming my thoughts lately," she pondered as she delved into the enigmatic reports Sora had stumbled upon on his quest. Her mind wandered into a realm where curious theories ran rampant and untamed within her imagination.

How did Xehanort transform into the Seekers of Darkness? What is the dynamic between the Darkness and Xehanort? Are there any descendants, other than Sora and his comrades, considered Keyblade wielders by Xehanort? How were puppet-like replicas for Nobodies, such as Roxas, created by the Scientists? What are the authentic roots of the Keyblade War leading to strife among wielders? Who does the 'Man with a Black Hood' represent to "Kaiser Insight"? Lastly, how are Dream Eaters truly crafted?

In the realm of Astraea lies the region of Landsol, notable for its diverse landscape that features towering mountains and verdant forests. At its heart stands a magnificent castle encircled by a uniquely star-shaped city, bustling with markets, guilds, and a vibrant mix of residents from all playable races. This lively center was once a busy gathering spot for players until a significant in-game event transformed the world.

Beyond Landsol's urban expanse, a tranquil scene unfolds at a pond fed by a waterfall. There, a girl with long, flowing orange-golden hair is bathing, enveloped by mist to ensure no onlookers can catch a glimpse of her.

Following her bath, she swapped her attire for a unique ensemble blending armor with a dress-like garment. Now adorned in a white gown intricately embroidered with gold accents and featuring a blue corset, she exudes regal elegance. Complementing her outfit is a silver shoulder guard on her right, a clear nod to her warrior spirit. The garment's open front showcases a lace-trimmed underskirt beneath, ensuring freedom of movement. Undoubtedly, she embodies the essence of a valiant warrior in both appearance and demeanor.

Right before donning a petite, shimmering crown that defines her noble persona, she dons a pensive look, hinting at a hidden depth within her that remains unknown to all until she snaps back to reality.

Moving closer, adorned with a crown, she remains oblivious to the encroaching threat—all while the ominous signs of impending danger draw near. Suddenly, a chilling moment unfolds as crimson eyes materialize from the shadows beneath the foliage…

...Surprise gripped her as the earth quaked, causing her to stumble and hit the ground with a gasp. From the tumult emerged a formidable rock golem. Reacting swiftly, she dodged its initial strike, scrambling to retrieve her sword mere feet away. Gripping the weapon, she found herself wielding a majestic sword with an intricate, gilded hilt. The blade glowed with a soft azure light, a testament to her power and skill in battle. With a decisive strike, she swiftly overpowered the golem just as it readied itself for another assault.

After the golem's defeat, she exhaled with relief. Yet, she noticed something glowing in the sky—a tiny light resembling a shooting star. It descended directly onto the grassy field. Intrigued, she pondered why this star appeared during the day and felt compelled to investigate, but at that moment...

...

*grumble*

...

"...I'm totaly starving!!..." Oh dear, she exclaims dramatically, as the growling of her stomach pushes her to admit defeat to its emptiness—a direct result of her gear. The armor, crown, and trusty Azure sword she brandishes grant her formidable strength in battling foes solo. Alas, there's a trade-off: these tools demand a substantial calorie burn for their full potential to be realized. Thus, it's clear that she's truly a hearty eater overall.

...

"First you simmer ~ , Then boil up hot ~ , Keep that rice snug in the pot ~ ." It seems someone almost sang with a tune...

...

"...Hmmm, huh, I heard someone saying that,and It smells good... who could it that be? Wait, it can be..." As Sora said in thought just before he open his eyes...

"Oh! I see you have awoken, My lord." a girl said to him as she saw him waking up.

"...My lord?... Who might you be, and how did you come to find me in this place?" He inquired upon awakening, taking note of his seated position and surveying his surroundings, in addition to the presence of the girl who appeared... younger than him.

"Here as your mentor, chosen by the enigmatic Lady Ameth, feel free to address me as Kokkoro," Kokkoro introduced herself, bowing with her hands in front of her chest. As Sora waved his hand with a chuckle, he observed her silently, noting her short silver-white hair styled in a gentle bob, adorned with dainty leaves and white blooms that exuded a natural charm. Her eyes, large and full of emotion, gleamed in a gentle pinkish shade, casting a tranquil and benevolent aura. Kokkoro wore a green and white dress with hints of gold, channeling a deep connection to the environment and the art of healing. The attire featured a high-neck collar and a midriff-exposing design, while the lengthy, flowing sleeves added to her delicate demeanor. The verdant cloak elegantly cascading over her shoulders added a touch of mystery and wisdom to her role as a guide. Completing her attire were sandals fastened with intricate laces, embellished with petite floral patterns and leafy accents that solidified her bond with the natural world.

"Nice to meet you, Kokkoro! Can you tell me what a mentor is? Ameth mentioned something about me... I just hope she's unaware of my real identity," Sora inquired, the last part of his statement lingering unspoken, his trust in Ameth's discretion with his secrets evident as he silently wished for her subtle guidance in introducing him to Kokkoro.

"I am committed to safeguarding My lord every moment, from sunrise to sunset, from birth to death, employing all my utmost sincerity. It is my unwavering obligation," she declared, condensing her statement.

"I see..." Sora said in a murmur.

...

"Anyways, you can call me Sora or whatever you like. Say, there are many questions I would like to ask you, and I'm sure you have questions for me too... got it?" he asked Kokkoro with a sincere smile.

"...It was quite the situation, but I would find it truly regrettable should I misidentify you or create any reason for your doubt. If need be, feel free to administer any punishment you see fit—be it the lash or another form, I'll accept it without protest." she said as she believed she prepared for—

"Wait, wait, hold on a sec! If there's a slip-up, we'll find a solution together; mistakes happen, but we can sort them out... And believe me, I'm more of a friend than a superior, regardless of our roles." he said in disbelief, rejecting on what Kokkoro said to him.

"Master Sora, or My lord, it is necessary," Kokkoro interjected, blushing slightly. "Apologies for my slip of the tongue."

"He's not so terrible, eh? All's in harmony with Lady Ameth's insights," Kokkoro cheered, exhaling with relief.

"... It's okay, Kokkoro. But the thing is... where am I?" he chuckled before giving her a first and foremost question while observing the environment he's in.

"You're outside the forest nearby my lord, there this is where I found you, laying in the bed full of grasses, underneath the tree, another one to my lord?" she answered the first question.

"So... I should ask her about Ameth for me... and why she address her as Lady?" he said in thoughts.

"Look, about Ameth... How did you come to know of her and what insights has she provided about me?" He inquired, merging his second and third questions.

Upon hearing the mention of Lady Ameth, she paused, Sora confirming with a subtle nod, as Kokkoro explained further, "Our devotion lies solely with Lady Ameth, the revered Goddess we venerate not just in my realm but throughout Landsol and Astraea. She's the benefactor who brought me the opportunity to serve as your guide, my lord..." she said before continue the third part...

"Nervertheless, based on Lady Ameth's prophecy, my lord, it is foretold that you are esteemed as a valiant hero bearing a remarkable and potent Key-shaped weapon, enhanced with increased might and enchantment. Your staunch belief in the pivotal role of friends as keys to triumph over malevolent adversaries is also highlighted in the prophecy." Kokkoro further expressed a curiosity to witness this legendary weapon firsthand, oblivious to the concept of divination.

"It seems that Ameth already told her about me, or so I thought. But she want me to see my Keyblade though... Okay, here it goes..." as Sora said in thoughts while taking a deep breath, as he raised his right hand, a sudden light flash in his hand, summoning the weapon he had since his first journey. It was no doubt for Kokkoro for seeing such weapon of his despite the default one or it make everyone see him a laughing stock abouut the weapon he wield. But according to Ameth, Sora really does requires several Keychains in order to see the additional look of his Keyblade which unfortunately the few of them are remaining in his pocket. Nevertheless, it has different usage for him in order to turn the tides against the enemies as Kokkoro wanted to see all for herself.

"Is that your chosen weapon... resembling a simple house key? Did you perhaps acquire it through less honorable means?" she inquired of him.

Taken aback, Sora responded to Kokkoro's query with both affirmation and denial. Indeed, he had obtained it originally for Riku to wield when their homeland faced peril from their foes. However, circumstances had changed, and now the key rightfully belonged to Sora for the ongoing adventures. Riku's heart harbored a dark stain within, making him unfit to wield it, unlike Sora who had proven his strength and purity through various trials until he was finally deemed worthy. Much to Kokkoro's astonishment...

Sora, too has a plan to show his Keychains for his Keyblade to Kokkoro, but by then...

*grumble...*

"Uhhh, Kokkoro... Do you have a thing in my mi—"

"Absolutely, my lord! It seems we're both hungry during this time after all, hehehe." She said as both her and Sora laughed. He knew what Kokkoro had prepared for both of them before waking up from his slumber and meeting her. While Sora let his Keyblade dissipate from his hand.

"Awesome! I'm absolutely hungry right now. I... haven't had a bite since I arrived here!" he exclaimed, battling his intense hunger. Amidst his cravings, a variety of items lingered in his pocket for what felt like ages: Potions, Ethers, Panacea, and Elixir. These numerous objects not only mend his injuries, replenish his energy, cleanse him of undesirable effects, and sharpen his concentration. They also satiate his hunger completely, allowing him to push thoughts of food aside during combat encounters. However, even though he contemplated consuming these remnants both before and after Xehanort's defeat, a gut feeling advised against it, urging him to preserve them for crucial moments in battle instead.

Kokkoro appears pleased as Sora's impending satisfaction with food mirrors her own longing for a fulfilling meal. The aroma of the dishes being prepared only intensifies her own hunger, creating a sense of anticipation as she eagerly awaits the moment when her own hunger will be assuaged.

"Never have I seen that food before. It looks like... rice, shaped into a triangle and sprinkled with sesame seeds. And is that seaweed? Oh, c'mon Sora! I know you're hungry, but I want to try making it myself." he thought, resisting the temptation of the aroma from the food being prepared.

"My lord, lunch was ready!" Kokkoro said.

"Finally!" said he went there trying to taste the food he's got, not before joining with Kokkoro...

"In any case..."

"Time to eat!" they exclaimed in unison just before savoring a mouthful of the meal. Sora found the flavors delightful and silently appreciated Kokkoro's effort, causing her cheeks to flush with joy at his approval. Meanwhile, she indulged in her own dish, relishing the moment alone with her thoughts.—

*GRUUMMBBLLE*

"Wow, my lord, it seems you're extremely hungry after all. Are you going to eat some more if you like?" she asked Sora, who she suddenly heard a really big stomach grumbling sound from.

"...It wasn't me, Kokkoro," he replied, saying it wasn't his while chewing his own food.

"So, it wasn't you, my lord. Even I, myself... then who?" she asked.

*GRUUMMBBLLEE*

"And there's a sound again! and it's coming from... over there!!" Sora said while looking the direction of the source of a sound, it was nearby!

"Anyone... Anyone... Need... Food!!" the mysterious visitor said in agony... for food.

"Someone coming, my lord" Kokkoro said.

"Is that a — princess?" Sora said, cutting his last words by thoughts when he saw someone trying to endure hunger while using a sword like a cane when walking, agonizingly begging for food while weeping tears in a comically way. He had never seen a girl wandering around the forest wearing a combined armor and an attire that made her look like she came from nobility, especially the crown she wore on her head. He tried to help her, but—

"Anyone... I'm hungry— UGH!!!" When she finally sees someone... or something, she faints with a sound like someone died from hanging. She falls straight to the ground, with a ghost sprite coming out of her mouth, meaning she couldn't endure her hunger anymore. This causes both Sora and Kokkoro to yelp while deciding to help her.

And this is where Sora had already met his navigational fairy (or elvenfolk) and a voracious girl, who was also a princess. He will meet everyone sooner or later... and the adventures of a Keyblade wielder was about to begin.

Author's Announcement: The thing is... I'm planning for event stories like this, such as Halloween, Holiday, Summer, Miscellaneous like Crossovers, Girls' Bond Stories with Sora, Guild Stories and so much more.
