Riku got off the boat and stepped on to the docks, looking around and the island he knew so well. Back then it had been small and stifling; now, it still felt small, but it was warm and welcoming. It was his home. He walked down the beach, looking at the familiar turf that he and his friends had once longed to leave. It was amazing how much a person could change given enough time.

First stepped into the old secret place that was covered drawings on the wall. Most of them were from Sora and Kairi, especially the one that depicted the pair sharing a Paopu fruit. The door was there too, the same one he had opened all those years back. That was the door that lead to the heart of this world, and therefore, he, Sora, and then King had all locked it with their keyblades years back. It would take three keybladers to unlock what they had done.

Riku left the cave with a small smile. It was good to be back here, even if he was about to leave again. He made his way up to the small island with the paopu tree then saw something; or, more precisely, someone. He walked onto the island cautiously, stopped, then called out, "What are you doing here? And who are you?"
