Dragon's Soul, a Kingdom Hearts Fanfic

The Beginning Of The End

As [Y/n] flies through the Lanes Between to reach Yen Sid's tower, a blinding light shines at him.

[Y/n]: What is that..?

All of a sudden, he's transported to a small island, at about dusk.

[Y/n]: Where am I?

He begins looking around the area, and finds two children running around, one wearing yellow and one wearing white.

[Y/n]: Hey, you two!

The two children stop and walk over to the strange man.

[Y/n]: Do you know where I am?

White: This is Destiny Islands, sir. My name is Sora.

Yellow: And I'm Riku.

[Y/n]: Sora... I feel a strong light coming from within you. Sora, I have a question for you. What's your dream?

Sora: Well... To sail the world with Riku!

[Y/n]: That's a good dream. Riku... You've already had the ceremony performed on you, haven't you? By Terra, probably. You'll be a fine Keyblade Master someday, I can feel it. Sora, what if I were to give you the ability to one day achieve your dream, even if it changes along the way?

Sora: Well... That would be amazing, sir!

[Y/n]: Call me [Y/n]. (summons his Keyblade and holds it by the blade, letting Sora grab the handle) In your hand, take this Key. So long as you have the makings, then through this simple act of taking, its wielder you shall one day be. And you will find me, friend—no ocean will contain you then. No more borders around, or below, or above, so long as you champion the ones you love. Someday, Sora, you'll summon a Keyblade of your own, I'm sure of it. Your heart is strong. It will be even stronger. Protect you friends.

Sora: Thank you, [Y/n]!

The two run off as the same light from earlier begins to envelop the Keyblade Master.

[Y/n]: Here we go again...

In a flash, he's back on his dragon in the Lanes Between.

[Y/n]: Where were we going? Oh, right, Yen Sid.

He flies towards the tower, and when he's close, Ventus flies right past him in the opposite direction, but [Y/n] couldn't worry about that yet.

He lands on the balcony of Yen Sid's tower before rushing inside.

[Y/n]: Master Yen Sid!

Yen Sid: Calm down, boy. What is the matter?

[Y/n]: Tenebris is the matter. Why didn't you tell me about this?

Yen Sid: So, Tenebris is already free... I didn't tell you because this is a challenge you must face.

[Y/n]: Why?!

Yen Sid: You'll know why when you have defeated him. For now, you have but one Seal left.

[Y/n]: Can't you just tell me where it is?

Yen Sid: I cannot. When I sealed your heart, each Seal attached to something your heart held onto, or something similar. I had no choice where they went. Even if i knew where they were, I would not tell you. You must face the challenge of finding them on your own. If you don't, your soul will not truly grow.

[Y/n]: I see. Where is Tenebris?

Yen Sid: I sense he is in the Keyblade Graveyard. Before you go, allow me to heal you.

[Y/n]: No. I need to face this on my own, without outside help.

Yen Sid: I see... Be careful. Protect your family. I sense something terrible is about to happen.
