Journey from the Past

Hearts Connected - Dwarf Woodlands

It had been a few days since Angel had received the Keyblade, meaning she had plenty of time to get used to using the weapon. Taking a seat down on a nearby park bench, she would let out a deep sigh, closing her eyes.

"Seems like you've been training quite hard, Angel." Spoke her Chirithy. "I'm proud of you."

"Thanks, Chirithy." Angel replied with a small smile. Turning her attention back to her weapon, she couldn't help but frown. "Who would have thought that I would need so much training to use a simple weapon."

"The Keyblade is a very picky weapon." Spoke up Chirithy. "The Keyblade chooses its user, mainly a user of pure light. You certainly have a unique light around you."

Angel turned her head back towards Chirithy before tilting her head curiously. "Really?"

Chirithy nodded in response before turning her head away. This isn't something unusual for Chirithy to do.

After a few minutes of sitting in silence, Chirithy would chime up and say "Time to move on! There's a world that needs our help. It's been overrun with heartless."

Taking a deep breath, Angel would nod before standing up. Raising her keyblade, a small white ball of light appeared at the tip before a beam of light shot from the tip, opening a portal in front of her. Lowering the Keyblade, she would take a deep breath before stepping through the portal.

As Angel emerged, she was greeted with a beautiful Forrest with a bed of multicoloured flowers in front of her. As she was about to kneel down to smell the flowers, she was soon surrounded by four small black shadows.

"Oh come on! I just got here!" She yelled before gripping the handle of her keyblade. Looking around her, she would lunge forwards and begin to take down the shadows.

After about ten minutes of fighting, she managed to settle down, standing up straight and relaxing her body as she sighed deeply, until she heard a voice from behind her.

"Wow, you took out those monsters with that key of yours like it was nothing!"

Turning around, she would look around before down to see a dwarf. The dwarf had a brown hat on with a thick white beard, a red shirt and a pair of glasses on his face.

"Oh, terribly sorry! I forgot to introduce myself!" Spoke the dwarf. "My name is Doc, it's a pleasure to meet you my dear!"

"Oh, it's nice to meet you too, Doc." Angel smiles softly "My name is Angel Fireheart, Doc!"

Doc returned the smile before going silent. Looking back up at the female, Doc would shyly ask the female "I need to find my friends. They've been at the mines all day."

Angel tilted her head curiously before giving a small smile.

"I could really use a band— er, stand— er, your help?" Angel couldn't help but smile brightly and nod.

"I would be happy to help you find your friends!"

"Oh, how wonderful!" Turning around, he pointed towards a road. "Just head down there to get to the mines!"

Looking ahead, Angel nodded before soon running off down the pathway.

Along the path, she ran into numerous heartless to which became a royal battle and a half for the new keyblade user. Upon reaching the opening for the mine, Angel would look up at the entrance as she sighs softly.

"I believe this is the place." Slowly walking up to the cave entrance, she soon heard yells from inside. Freezing at the yells, she would soon dash inside of the cave. Looking around, she would soon follow the trail of shadow heartless down the left hand tunnel to the middle of the mines.
