Quest Log 2: Defending Against Rogue Nature

World: Neverland

Kate Thirabella's Thoughts:

So... Things may be so much different than I initially thought. I've started my training to become a full-fledged Keyblade wielder. And a part of that training, let me do go out to other worlds to investigate these strange creatures that have been appearing in the other worlds. How much is my mind gonna be blown just going from world to world here? I dunno, but can't deny it!

So my first stop, was a place I later heard to be called Neverland. I won't pretend to understand how this place works, but, all I know is that it's a simple island with pirates, kids and a flying man the pirates doesn't seem to like. I couldn't ask the captain we were with, as he was scared off by a ticking sound... Sounded like a clock. Never saw the source though.

Anyway, during my exploration, I had heard a commotion. The dangerous kind of commotion. And when I could finally see, I could see a battle in place. These... Strange dark blue creatures, and a sentient tree that they were spawning out of. Other keyblade wielders were fighting it, I noticed. So, I came in to help. Though... In a way I can't explain. I was just... In the air. In my keyblade armour, standing on a floating platform that formed a path as I ran... I've tried to replicate that platform thing, but I could never do it. I just can't explain it.

It took some effort, and was a bit of a close call on my part, but we destroyed that tree, and took the rest of the... Unversed, I think? Out. I did cut it quite close, but thankfully I was healed before I fell to the things.

We talked amongst ourselves, though one of the wielders... Dado, was it? Asked a strange riddle to the pirate captain. The pirate sounded like he was going to answer, but... Well, the ticking started. I can only imagine it is the thing that took his hand and forced him to have a hook. I don't know what the riddle means, but I did recognise my teacher's name as a part of the riddle... Whatever the case, we moved on to safer and less world order needed areas, to a new world... An island. I am pretty sure I heard them mention Destiny Island? Or maybe I heard that from somewhere else... We elaborated on the threats, and some of the people needed to get home.

I don't have a home anymore. The closest thing is my master's schoolhouse. So that is where I will be when I am not travelling. And if they are correct, and I WAS called onto the battlefield by the world itself?

I need to be ready to answer any more calls for help. I need to get my strength back, so I can defend all whom I can.

Important Points:

Mad Treant - Defeated!

Flood Wave - Exterminated!

Connection - First introductions to Dado, Arano, Alex, Captain Hook, and Smee.

Mystery - New mysteries around a mysterious riddle, and elaborations on possible information around the Unversed.

Strength - Kate has grown stronger because of this fight, but still has some work to do to reach her true potential again.
