Long before the three heroes -Ventus, Aqua, and Terra- set foot in another world, long before even the terror of Master Xehanort could even be prophesied....long ago when Keyblade warriors were many.

They all gathered at The Land of Departure. Here, it was known as the Keyblade academy, where young apprentices seeking the ways of light would find themselves here. And two young teens, both aspiring to be named Master, find themselves here. What adventure awaits?

 

Just follow the usual Roleplay and Forum rules and such. That is all.

 

Here's my character:

 

Name: Cealus

 

Gender: Male

 

Age: 16

 

Personality: Fun-loving, adventurous, very silly. Is very protective of his friends and can't stand to see them hurt.

Bio: An aspiring Keyblade wielder from Hollow Bastion. Ever since he met a Keyblade Master in Hollow Bastion at a young age, it was his dream to join the academy and become a legend.

Keyblade (You'll get it soon after a Entry Exam):

Jade sighed and walked slowly behind Ceal. "Um..." She found herself whispering.

She tried to talk a little louder."Um...uh.." She said.

Cealus remained silent, then sighed.

"This..." Cealus half-heartedly gestured to Merlin, "Is Merlin."

Merlin nodded in a sir-like manner, examining Jade. "Quite. Well, what is it you need, Cealus? And how did you manage to look so young after so many years?" Merlin asked, looking at Cealus.

"Long story."

Jade sighed. "It's really short with you think about." She whispered.

"Really short." She whispered.

Cealus sighed "Not really." He replied, looking to Merlin. Merlin scratched his beard, looking from Jade to Cealus. Merlin shrugged.

"Well then, not that it matters...I was hoping to invent an anti-aging cream. Sadly, the last one was eaten by cockroaches. Or was it Heartless..?" Merlin wondered, quickly losing track of the conversation.

"O-kay?" Jade asked confused.

"Um..anyway we uh need some answers." She said.

"Answers?" Merlin asked, "To time-travel..? No, wait! Of course, of course. You have particular answers!" Merlin nodded, ushering for both Jade and Cealus to enter his hut. Cealus sighed, shrugged, and walked back in. "You coming?" He asked, looking to Jade for a moment.

Jade nodded and smiled. She followed him in. "I tnink that time-travel is going to help you." She tilted her head.

"I want more to know about a person."She said.

Merlin magically produced wooden chairs from his robes setting them down for Jade and Cealus to sit in.  Cealus did so, looking around Merlin's 'hut'. It had quickly cleaned itself, all of the brooms sweeping up the dust and ash from the small incident.

Even though it was 'clean' the home was cluttered with books, papers, and other miscellaneous garbage.

"Alright. What person?" Merlin asked, grabbing a large book, setting it down on a podium. He began to flip through the pages.

"Xehanort." Jade said trying to be calm.

"It's about him." She said.

Merlin halted, and his brooms also stopped. They began to twitch, then all of them broom went haywire, before Merlin flicked his wrist.

Like that, the brooms fell over, lifeless.

"Mm. Xehanort is a matter Yen-Sid knows more about. But I might be of use...what is it you precisely want to know?"

"....Oh,er just who is he?" Jade asked looking at Ceal.

"Oh,also do you know a Sora?" She asked.

"Xehanort...is a dangerous man. I suggest not pursuing him. Honestly, even I know little of him. Just that he has influenced the Nobodies and Heartless, and has caused the destruction of Hollow- er, Radiant Garden."

Cealus tilted his head, "Hollow..?"

"You didn't know? For awhile Radiant Garden was once Hollow Bastion..a place no one dared to tread."

"O-oh.." Cealus replied, looking to Jade. With this information...and Jade's attitude, Cealus felt sick.  "I'm going outside, for some air."

"A-ah...." Jade said looking away.

"Oh....uh...that's..." She turned her face to the ground.

Cealus stopped by the door, giving Jade a parting glance, "Would you mind staying here..? I'm going for a walk..." Cealus said, resuming his walk as he left Yen-Sid's hut. With nowhere to walk, he turned left, heading through and archway. He walked into a corridor, with several windows that looked out into the Barrens.

"What the...?" Cealus muttered, looking out. Several tall, disjointed towers loomed off into the distance. Cealus got a weird feeling as he stared at them, and shivered.

Jade sighed slowly."Well now I just feel bad." She said and slumped onto the table.

"Gahhh~" She said along with a sigh.

"Oh it's fine." Merlin said, patting Jade's shoulder. "Cealus gets like that, now and then. I can see he has a liking to you. Which is a good thing! Heh, that Cealus. He's a good kid, 'cept for when he nearly burnt my hut down. On accident, of course!"

Cealus sighed, leaning on a cold stone wall. "I can't believe this...Hollow Bastion..? What happened while I was gone..?"

"Hmph. Pitiful." A voice replied, and Cealus turned to look in front of him. There, stood Xehanort once more.

"Hey, you! What do you want?!"

"You, who is one of the 7 pieces....you will soon fall into my plan. All 13 Vessels are accounted for. And the 7 Guardians will soon stand. Your Heart will soon join together with the other 19 pieces...and my most future self will have the X-Blade."

"T-the X-Blade?! But...my heart..is the piece..?"

"Correct. Without your Heart...I presume you will become a Nobody."

"A...Nobody? What's that..?" Cealus asked, clenching his fist.

Jade nodded. "I know he's good." She said with a sigh.

"It's just....I...don't know...he always gets into trouble." She said.

"But that's part of the adventure, isn't it?" Merlin replied, "What kind of adventure would it be, if nothing happened? Bah, it wouldn't be any fun at all! I think that you haven't been in enough trouble yet. How many people have you alone, fought, hmm?"

~

"A Nobody is a husk without a heart. They have no emotions- yet still live...if life means anything." Xehanort replied, his stare as lifeless as ever. Cealus clenched his fist harder, growling."Well, I'm not gonna let you get away with that!" He yelled, unleashing his blade as he charged Xehanort.

Xehanort's eye glowed yellow, and he lifted his palm. Everything blurred for Cealus, and time itself halted.

"Zantestuken." Xehanort said, his Keyblade appearing in his own hands.

"M-me,um...I counldn't tell you." Jade said.

"A-anyway...I get I bad vibe." She said and got up.

Merlin nodded, "Well, best of luck. I must remind you though. I have spent a good deal of time with Cealus. He heavily relies on his friends. He was weak as a child- and it pleased me to see him stronger now. So, remember- his friends help him get stronger. What is a person, if there is no one to support them?" Merlin sighed, putting an old boot into a pot.

"Now, you best be off...my beef stew is known to be...uh, 'explosive'."

Those in normal time would have experienced a normal, measly second. But for Cealus, that one second was  an entire barrage of attacks, as he was pounded down by the cruel untempered power Xehanort hid inside himself.

As time resumed, Cealus lay defeated against a wall. "My most future self confirms it. You will be reduced to a husk...and from there, if the instance arises, I can fill your sad husk to become another Vessel."

"I'm not letting that happen.." Cealus said, getting up again. "I'll see to it!" Cealus again attempted to slam his weapon into Xehanort, but he was stopped by time once more.

Jade nodded then ran outside to find Ceal. Jade not knowing where Ceal would be let her heart do the leading. Which worked pretty well because soon she saw him and- "Oh no." She muttered.

Cealus floated in time, and Xehanort smirked.

"I am time. You cannot defeat of which keeps our universe together." Xehanort said, raising his weapon.

No, Cealus said within his mind, You are not time- you simply use it! Cealus slowly moved his arm, much to Xehanort's surprise. But even then, Xehanort smashed Cealus into the ground.

She stood there not wanting to be noticed and to think of a plan. Suddenly the brown hair'd hero popped into her him. "Sora?" She whispered to herself.

She then sighed there wasn't time to wait or even think. She needed to act. "I need to act." She whispered aloud to herself.

"Stay...down." Xehanort murmured, slamming his Keyblade into Cealus's back. He did this repeteadly, time no longer stopped- Cealus was too weakened to put up much resistance.

"And to think, you defeated the Qualia. He was part of my plan. He would have been the perfect Vessel. He did rise again though- destroyed your Academy. Reduced it to so little. And only 10 years ago...there remained 3 students...and one Master."

"Im..possible..!" Cealus said, breathing heavily.

Jade summoned her Key-Blade. She got closer with out making a sound. "Please forgive me Ceal." She whispered and sighed.

She charged at Xehanort. "Stop this!" She cried running at Xehanort.
