Just what was this place? And how exactly was he here?For about as long as the young man could remember, he had been struggling for control for his own body for quite sometime after Master-- no, just Xehanort, had taken control of his body after he had defeated the old Keyblade master who he had so foolishly trusted. All it took was a mere moment to be caught off guard, and then the next thing he knew, no longer did his body belong to him in a sense. Ever since then, Terra had been doing his best to try and reclaim what was rightfully his. But Xehanort was strong, and forcing him out proved to be too much of a challenge for now. At the very least, the old man never had full control, for the young Keyblade wielder would never give up the continuous struggle.
This almost seemed too good to be true. He could move of his own free will. He was in total control. Where was Xehanort? As far as the brunette could tell, his presence inside him was nowhere to be found. Not a trace of someone else's darkness remained inside his heart, only his own, as every heart had darkness inside. Could this really be real? Maybe it was just some kind of dream, but even if it was, Terra plannned on playing along for now.
As soon as the brunette had arrived, he found himself inside a rather nice apartment, but for now, he chose not look into it too much and made his way outside of the building. Upon leaving, the first thing he noticed was a beautiful beach, throwing him back to his visit to those islands all those years ago, where he met that young boy, the one he had passed the power of the Keyblade onto. The sound of the waves crashing up against the shore was such a soothing sound. Living in the Land of Departure, it was something he and his two friends hadn't gotten the chance to see very often.
His friends. Not a moment went by where he hadn't thought of them. The last time had spoken to Aqua, he couldn't even see her. But he could hear her voice, lost in the realm of darkness. How was it that she ended up there? She seemed to be safe, at least...for the most part. It was impossible to know all of the creatures that could be dwelling there. And then there was Ven. Aqua had told him that Ven was hidden away safely and that she made sure no one would be able to find him. The only question now was...would he ever see him again?
Taking a couple of steps onto the beach, the young Keyblade wielder immediately felt another presence not too far away from him. For the first time in who knew how long, he wasn't alone. He could see a figure of a boy not too far away from him, sitting by himself on the sand, only a couple of meters away from the water Deciding to approach cautiously, Terra took slow steps towards the boy, each step hitting the hot sand with a delicate softness, trying not to give himself away.
Now within striking distance, it became immediately clear just who the mysterious boy was. That spiky blonde hair, the green patch on his arm which activated his armor, the same style clothes he wore. This was undoubtedly one of his lost friends, Ven. He could feel his heart swell with joy. He was okay. He was here with him.
"Ven... you're here. We're here... It’s really you, right? I--" He could barely form a sentence at this point, he was almost at a complete loss for words.
