Dream Drop Distance: The Nyrolian Edition

Chapter 1 (Destiny Islands)

Sora's POV

I was standing on the shores of Destiny Island with Riku, looking out over the horizon; thinking of other worlds that we will explore. "But how far could a raft take us?" I asked him, "Who know? If we have to, we'll think of something else." Riku replied before the two of us headed for the raft we made and started to set sail on it.

Riku's POV

We were out on the raft for what I'm guessing for hours when I noticed that it have gotten dark a little too quickly for my liking, "Riku, a storm's coming." Sora said, sounding nervous as I also noticed the change in the water. "I know. The waves are getting steep." I replied calmly as I started to head for the sail, "Furl the sail." I ordered. Sora nodded, "Right." I wasn't sure on what happened next; just as I was about to furl my part of the sail, the mast broke off, taking me out to sea with it. I was grateful that the wooden part of the mast was close by; I quickly grabbed it before the cloth could pull me under. "Riku!" Sora called out to me to make sure that I was ok, "I'm fine!" I called back before noticing a corridor of darkness forming near the raft. Large black tentacles emerged along with a laugh that is all too familiar, "Oh, he was right. Those wretched guppies are here. Well, it's about time we settled the score!" The Sea Witch said as she towers over Sora, "Ursula? But how... Is this the test?" Sora wondered as I quickly got up onto the mast. "Come on! You can work it out later!" I called out to him, causing Ursula to look in my direction in surprise. "All right!" he called back as she looked back at him, allowing me to use one of her tentacles as a bridge to get across to Sora, "Sorry, dearies, but I won't fall for that trick!" Ursula said to the two of us before she started attacking.

Normal POV

The raft came splashing down into the water as Ursula vanished before Sora and Riku; confused, the two boys shared a glance at each other before the waves caught the raft and tossed it around wildly until one wave beneath the raft tossed them overboard.

Nyra's POV

"No..." I gasped when I saw the empty raft floating about; without hesitation, I quickly used the raft to dive in after them. Using some of the water-based magic that I learned a few years back, I made it to the two boys slowly sinking. I tried reaching for Sora's hand first, then his friend; desperately to pulled them back up to the surface and back into the Exam course that Grandpa Yen Sid have set out for them, only me to miss their hands by a few inches. Realising that I can't stay underwater much longer, I brought my hand that have the bracelet I received eleven years ago on its wrist, grabbed the amulet around my neck, closed my eyes and silently asked for help. Seconds later, my desperate plea was answered in a form of a light that instantly turned into a Keyhole. I watch in wonder as two Keyblades formed in their hands, and seemingly on their own, lined their blade tips to the keyhole. Two beams of light shot from the Keyblades towards the Keyhole, shattering it as if the Keyhole was made of glass or something. As Sora and his friend sink into the portal caused by the Keyhole, I swam through it where I had a vision. I was coming up to the surface, but as I surfaced, I came face to face with a man dressed in a robe, but I couldn't see his face. The last thing I remember before I blacked out from both my vision and being underwater for too long, was a dark and disembodying voice coming from the man in the robe, "This world has been connected."
