Writer's Corner : Writer's Corner

So inspiration struck me for my other KH Fanfic, Kingdom Hearts Reveal, so I got a whole lot of it written. The last part, the confrontation with the Master, is only half done. I'll post more as I write it. Here Goes!

“Come on, Rai, is that the best you can do?” Hideki laughed as Rai, the youngest and prettiest of the group wildly swung her sword at him. He blocked the attack easily, and with a simple move, he disarmed her and knocked her to the ground, his hand inches from her throat. “You’d be dead now if I’d been really fighting.” He said. “Just to let you know.” He helped her up from the ground and said “You need more technique and less force. You use all your energy hitting me as hard as you can, when you could easily take me out with just one strategic move. Wanna go again?” “No,” panted Rai, small drops of sweat glistening from under the bandage wrapped around her forehead. “I want to keep fighting badly and then die of humiliation the next time we go to keep the peace and some idiot thug takes me out again.” Rai was still recovering from her last attempt at peace-keeping. A group of bandits had tried to waylay some travelers on the road outside of town, and had instead been waylaid by Hideki, Amaya, and Rai, three of the four Peace-keepers of Radient Gardens. Keeping the peace was their job. They handled the criminals, took care of the citizens, and protected the beautiful and ancient city from every threat. Well, they were in training to do so, anyway. Rai was the newest addition to the team. Unusually bright and very eager to learn, she was allowed to join the group despite her young age. She was strong and determined, but undisciplined. She had unwisely tried to fight with the leader of the bandits, even though it was her first time out on a mission. The bandit had knocked her out almost as soon as she stared fighting, and if the others hadn’t been there to save her, she wouldn’t have made it back. She was grateful to them, of course, but she knew that she would have to learn to take care of herself, or she would be too much of a burden to them and wouldn’t be allowed to go back out until she was older. As it was, the Master had been very reluctant to even let her join the team. It was a good thing he had been out of town on a research trip when it happened, or she could very well have kissed her new job goodbye. Rai wasn’t about to let that happen, so she held her sword out in front of her, silently challenging Hideki to fight. “Sorry, Rai,” said Amaya from across the room. “I know you won’t like to hear this, but you need to take a break for a while and get some rest. You got a bad blow to your head, and you’re likely to get dizzy or pass out if you exercise too much.” Amaya was nineteen, the oldest of the group, and the team leader. Whatever she said, the others had to obey, unless it went directly against the Master’s orders. She also was exceptionally gifted in the art of healing, and she showed an unusual sisterly attachment to eleven-year-old Rai. As expected, Rai was dismayed with her leader’s verdict, and immediately started pouting and giving every reason she could think of to be allowed to stay and fight, but when Amaya’s will couldn’t be changed, she submitted bitterly and went to her room to lie down. As soon as she left, conversation changed from fighting techniques to a subject of a deeper matter. “So,” said Hideki. “The Master is out of town for research?” Amaya looked at him, troubled. “Hideki, you know as well as I that it is not our place to question the Master’s doings or intentions.” Hideki shrugged. “I only asked if that was the story we’re going with,” he said. Amaya glared at him, but then she sighed resignedly. “Yes, Hideki. That’s the story he left us. But please stop talking like that. I’m worried enough already.” Master Ichiro, the ruler of Radient Gardens, had always been a fair and wise leader. He had personally trained Amaya, Cyphus, and Hideki, and had been very patient with them, like a father. But recently, something had changed. He was seldom seen, always hiding out in his study, and then he would take impromptu trips and be gone for months at a time, sometimes taking one of his students with him without warning, and sometimes taking off alone in the dead of night. Either way, he usually left no word. This time, he had taken Cyphus with him, and that was what had Amaya worried. At age fifteen, Cyphus was the second youngest in the group, and Amaya thought of him like he was her younger brother. He had been gone for three weeks now, and hadn’t contacted them the whole time. Hideki looked at Amaya’s face, and he smiled. “Hey,” he said. “Don’t worry. Cyphus knows how to handle himself.” Amaya also smiled. “I know,” she said. “But there’s something wrong. I feel it, there’s something settling on the city, and I feel…” Suddenly, she was frustrated. “I feel so powerless!” She snapped. “Like I can’t stop this… this thing, whatever it is. Idon’t know what’s going on, and there’s nothing I can do about it.” Hideki considered this for a moment, and then he turned to Amaya. “You know,” he said.“I feel the same.” Without thinking, they stood and began walking. No words were said. They walked in silence, each thinking the same thing. They reached their destination in a few moments, and went through the large, ornately decorated doors and stepped into the bright sunlight. They were on a large balcony, overlooking Radient Gardens. The bright sun reflected off the white marble walls of the city, shining like a jewel. It would have blinded the eyes of anyone who wasn’t used to it. They both stood close to the edge, surveying the city, both looking for the same thing. It had been almost three weeks. The Master could return any minute. The first time he had left, they had been worried, of course, but he had only been gone a few days, and he told them that pressing matters had called him away suddenly. But as time went on and he started disappearing more and more often for longer and longer periods of time, they became worried. Now, every time he left, it was worse than the time before. Amaya sighed. “It’s like we’re waiting for a battle,” she said. “We know it’s coming, but we don’t know when, and we can’t escape.” And so they stood, and the sun shone over them, giving light to the beautiful city, for the last time.

They had been traveling hard all day, and when they finally got to the city, Cyphus felt like he could barely stand. And yet, he still had to walk all the way to the castle. It was in the middle of the night, and the white marble buildings shone pale in the moonlight. The moon itself, so big it took up half the sky, was the only source of light at night. The deep blue sky had never seen a cloud, had never been marred by a single disturbance. Why did it make him feel so sad now? He couldn’t quite put his finger on it. Something was wrong. He took a side-glance at the figure beside him. Master Ichiro stood tall and proud, breathing in the air of his city. Something in his manner made Cyphus uneasy, tired as he was. A burst of cool air brushed across his face, and for a moment, he forgot everything as the cool air filled his lungs. It had been a long three weeks. Cyphus hadn’t expected to embark on this journey. He had been doing some late-night training when suddenly the Master was there, and before he really knew what was happening, Cyphus found himself on the road, with no idea where he was going or when he’d be back. They had walked for a day and a night, and then they stopped in a different city. Cyphus wasn’t sure what city they stopped in. They hadn’t seen any sights or gone anywhere. Cyphus had barely had a chance see more than the road when the Master took him inside a small house. They didn’t leave the building again until the Master was ready to leave the city. For three long weeks, Cyphus sat around in the building while the Master paced the floor in the basement, reading yellowed pieces of parchment and writing in his blank book. Then, the Master decided to leave, just as suddenly as he had decided to come. Cyphus looked up at the castle, his home. He had missed it while they were gone, and the people inside it. He could just see Amaya’s face when he showed up for breakfast the next morning. She would probably stand straight up and just look at him, with her mouth wide open, while Hideki smiled a half-smile, and Rai would probably jump up and down and climb all over him. Cyphus smiled, and wished it would hurry up and be morning already. He groaned in exhaustion, and for the rest of the walk, he zoned out, practically sleep-walking, unaware of the strange, dark smile on the face of the trusted man walking next to him.

Darkness. It was behind them, coming for them. There was no escaping it. They ran as fast as they could, but it was too fast, it was getting closer. There was Light ahead, but it was too far away. There was no way they could reach it in time. Suddenly, a light shone beside her. She turned, and saw Cyphus, practically bursting with light and anger. He turned, and ran at the Darkness full on. It surged at him, and completely surrounded him. She couldn’t see him anymore. His light destroyed the darkness, but when it all was done, he was gone. He had sacrificed himself to give them an escape.
Amaya awoke from her dark dreams, panting under the pale moonlight. She gasped for breath, the cool night air filling her lungs. She wasn’t on her bed. Where was she? A small snore behind her made her turn around. It was Hideki, leaning against the wall of the castle, asleep. Then she remembered. She and Hideki had returned to the balcony to wait after Rai had gone to bed for the night. At first, they kept an effective watch, but as the night went on and they got more and more tired, their attention wavered. Hideki fell asleep while Amaya lay on her back, looking up at the moon. Every once in a while, she would remember the task at hand and dutifully sit up and look out over the city, but it wasn’t long before she was back on the ground again. She must have fallen asleep, too. She breathed a sigh of relief. It had just been a dream. She lay down again, but then decided to get up and look for the Master. She sat up sleepily, and looked over the low wall of the balcony. It was then that she saw the small light, at the far end of the castle courtyard. It was a traveling lantern. The Master! She jumped to her feet, now wide awake. “They’re here!” she whispered excitedly. Hideki slept on. “Hideki, they’re back!” she said, this time a little louder, and she yanked him to his feet. “Wha- Hey!” He groaned, still half-asleep. “What gives?” Amaya grabbed his shoulders and shook him. “They’re here, Hideki!”“What!?!” Hideki was fully awake now, and he jumped to the edge of the balcony. “I don’t see them. Wait.” Hideki leaned way over the wall until he was almost upside down. “There they are.” he said. The Master and Cyphus were already at the door, and were coming in. “Come on, let’s go!” he said, and ran into the castle, Amaya close behind him.

The next morning, Rai was excited to see Cyphus sitting at the table. “CYPHUS!” She screamed with delight. Then she launched herself over the table at him, tackling him and knocking him to the ground. Then, hugging him so tightly that he could barely breathe, she began to chatter away about how much she had missed him, and how glad she was that he was back, and that it had been FOREVER since she’d last seen him. Finally, after she took a moment to breathe, Cyphus managed to get her off him and stood up. “It’s nice to see you again, too, Rai,” he said. Then he turned to Amaya and Hideki, both sitting across the table and trying not to laugh. “And thanks for the help, guys! I totally appreciate you getting her off me and letting me breathe.” “Hey, no problem, kid,” Hideki said with a laugh. Cyphus turned back to Rai and looked at the bandage wrapped around her head. “So what’s the story?” He asked her, pretending to be stern and angry. “Don’t tell me Hideki forgot his manners during one of your hugs.” Rai laughed. “Don’t try to act all mean, Cyphus. I know you’re happy to see me, too. And it’s nothing.” She reached up and touched the bandage, her eyes shining. “Just a scratch I got… on my first Peace-keeping trip!” Cyphus looked from her to Amaya. “Really?” He asked. “They really let you go?” Amaya chuckled and walked over to stand by Rai. “Well, we didn’t have you here to help, and she really wanted to come. I thought we could keep her safe, but-” “I took on the biggest one!” Rai interrupted. “I thought I could handle it, but I guess I wasn’t ready. It’s just a good thing Hideki fights so well, or I wouldn’t be here to say hello.” “Please,” Cyphus said. “Don’t talk like that.” Rai lifted her face, the picture of innocence. “Don’t talk like what?” she asked. “You mean, don’t talk about how I almost died?” Cyphus sighed. “Yes,” he said. “Don’t talk like that. I’ve learned my lesson. I’m sorry I said your hug was torture.” Rai smiled.“Then you wouldn’t mind if I gave you another one?” Before he could say anything, Cyphus was on the ground again, unable to breathe. Amaya and Hideki laughed, and they all sat down to breakfast. They talked about fighting styles for awhile, then Rai launched into an animated account of her fight with the bandit, when Amaya happened to look across the room through the window. “Oh my…” She stood up, frightened, and everyone in the room grew silent. Then they all turned to the window, and, one by one, stood up as well. The sky was dark. It had never been dark this late in the day before. Amaya slowly walked to the window and looked out. “Clouds…” she said quietly. Everyone ran to join her.“There are clouds, blocking the sun,” There were a few moments of silence, and then Rai fidgeted nervously. “But… there have never been clouds in Radiant Gardens before,” she whispered. “What’s wrong, Amaya? What’s happening?” Amaya looked down and smiled at the girl,wanting to reassure her, but not knowing what to say. Cyphus chuckled. “I guess we must be in for a storm,” he said. “But that doesn’t make sense!” Rai snapped, refusing to accept such an answer. “There has never been a storm in this city before! Why would a storm just up and decide to come today?” “I don’t know,” Cyphus said, pretending to be offended. “Maybe it got bored of the rest of the world.” Rai looked at him reproachfully. “Come on, Cyphus,” she said. “I’m being serious! You know the storm didn’t come here because it was bored of the rest of the world. What kind of answer is that anyway?” “I don’t know,” said Cyphus. “I thought it was pretty clever.” Rai just glared at him, and Cyphus laughed. “Rai,” he said, “Don’t read too much into it. It’s just a storm.” When Rai still looked doubtful, he sighed. “Look. So a storm came over Radient Gardens. It was bound to happen sometime. Don’t worry about it. Now come on. Let’s go start practicing.” With a quick meaningful glance at Amaya and Hideki, he led Rai out of the room and left them alone to talk. “Well?’ said Hideki. “What do you make of it?” Amaya looked at the dark clouds, and felt like she had the day before. Powerless. She sighed. “I don’t know,” she said. “I don’t know what’s going on, or how to stop it. But, it makes me feel afraid. Like the world is about to change.” Suddenly, the feelings she had had while dreaming the night before, and she gasped. “What?”said Hideki, drawing his sword and looking around for the danger. Amaya looked at him. “Nothing,” she said. “It’s just, I remembered something, that’s all.” Now if she could just remember what she’d dreamed about. Just then, a bell rang from deep inside the castle, summoning them to the Master. Amaya and Hideki looked at each other, each seeing the fear on the face of the other. After months and months of waiting for the worst to happen, it was starting, and neither of them felt ready for the road that lay ahead.

“My students…” Master Ichiro,a tall, thin man with piercing green eyes, sat in his chair and thoughtfully gazed at each of the four Peace-keepers lined up in front of him. Amaya was at the center, with Hideki on her right, Cyphus on her left, and Rai beside Cyphus. They kept their faces emotionless, waiting for him to speak. He smiled for a moment, before he spoke again. “As you all know, I’ve been traveling a lot these past few months. Some of you might have formed your ideas about what I have been doing, but I deemed it best to keep you in the dark until I discovered what I had set out to learn. Now, at last, I am ready.” He paused again, slowly getting up from his chair and walking until he was standing in front of them, then he continued to speak. “Knowledge is the most important thing we have. Without knowledge, even the strongest man alive is nothing. I have strived to impress this upon you, and everything I ever knew, I taught to you as well. Now I recently had an epiphany. I have studied men and animals, the world and the sky, and, in turn, led you to study the same. But, in all our years of learning and teaching, we have never attempted to study the most important thing in the world besides knowledge itself; the human heart.” Master Ichiro began to slowly pace back and forth in front of the group, reflecting for a moment. “The human heart might even be considered more important then knowledge, if such a thing is possible. The human body relies on the heart, draws strength from it, and, in turn, the heart grows with the body. One cannot live without the other; I knew that long before my more recent studies. But, I asked myself, what is the heart? How does it function? What is it about the heart that makes it so important? Of course, we know that the heart is the crossroads for your blood streams. It helps you survive by pumping blood into various parts of your body. But I also think that your heart is much more important than that. After much research, I conclude that the human heart is actually a sort of house for something much more precious: Spirit. Some would call it Soul. I have done much research throughout my travels, and I have done many experiments to test all my theories as they arose.” He paused again, and Amaya glanced at Hideki significantly. Was that what the Master had been disappearing for? To “experiment” his “theories” on people? This wasn’t good. What had happened to their beloved Master? He turned and continued talking, still pacing back and forth. “I found that emotions stem from the spirit, and make the subject vulnerable. A proud spirit, for example, experiencing humiliation for the first time, is much more susceptible to defeat then one who has suffered humiliation on a day to day basis. But that spirit which has suffered so often is much more susceptible to hope and trust, and then betrayal from the trusted individual causes the spirit to break down so drastically that they practically beg you to destroy them.” Rai was starting to feel sick. She had been one of those “broken spirits”, and the talk of betrayal made her feel afraid. She instinctively moved in closer to Cyphus, and he gave her a reassuring glance before returning his attention to the Master. He was getting angry. He also had been like that, as well as Hideki and Amaya. That was the main reason they all became Peace-keepers. Not one of them had had a home, let alone a family. And the Master had been the one to find them; he had taken care of them when no one else could be bothered, and they had all loved him for it. Now he was acting like people of that background weren’t people, but just test subjects. The Master was still talking. “I dug deeper and deeper into the matter of the human heart, and discovered two very important details. The first is this; darkness. Every heart is born in darkness, and there is no escaping it. The second thing I learned about the heart was this: the most amazing thing I have ever seen.” He turned to face his pupils and he held out his hand. All four Peace-keepers gasped as an enormous key appeared in their Master’s hand. It was very long, with a small oddly-shaped handle and seven large prongs on the end. “This,” he said, “is the Key.” He smiled at the astonished looks on his student’s faces. “It is a part of a person’s heart, it learns from its bearer, and it’s bearer from it. It also makes a formidable weapon. I call it a Keyblade. This particular Keyblade is named Heavied Heart. It is unique to my heart, and has its own distinctive strengths and abilities. Any questions?” He turned to face his students, standing still in front of them, but several feet away, and looked directly into each of their faces, as if he were deciding something. All was silent for a moment. Amaya spoke first. “Master,” she said quietly. “Are… are you sure… I mean, are you quite all right? You’ve had a long trip…” The master smiled.“Yes, my Student. I am sure. And actually, I am quite rested. Thank you for your concern.” The Master spoke in such a manner that it was evident to everyone that he didn’t feel thankful at all. Then Cyphus spoke up. “You… you…” “Cyphus…” Amaya began, but he didn’t pay any attention. Cyphus was gentle and trusting by nature, he almost never got mad. But when he did, there was no stopping his temper. “You fool!” he said, his voice getting slightly louder in anger. “You don’t understand anything! You’ve always taught us that Darkness was just a path some people take when they can’t find the Light! And now you’re trying to tell us that Darkness is inside of us, always in our hearts?” Amaya quickly interrupted him, trying to stifle Cyphus’s anger. “What changed, Master?” she asked. Master Ichiro chuckled, not in the least taken aback by Cyphus’s words. In fact, he almost looked pleased. He spoke to Amaya, but still kept his eye on Cyphus greedily. “What changed, My Student, was my knowledge.” he said. “Not that I was to blame, of course. I simply had false information. I’m sure you would come to the same conclusion if you knew as much as I.”
