Who: Ventus, Lingering Sentiment (Terra), Sora, Aqua
What: Awakening.
When: A few days before the Radiant Garden log begins.
Where: Yen Sid's Tower
Status: In Progress
Notes: BIRTH BY SLEEP SPOILERS


In a small room, connected to a hallway looping out from one of the winding stairways of Yen Sid's tower, a sleeping figure lay still. If one didn't know any better, they would believe that he was just resting; a young boy, taking a pleasant nap.

A 'nap' that had lasted for fourteen years. A 'nap' from which he would not, could not awaken - not until a missing piece was restored.

But the piece was close. The body knew that it's Heart was near, felt connections to it's resting place all around. Sometimes, it reacted accordingly - a hand would twitch, an eye would flicker. But still he said and did nothing. He wasn't there, not really. Not yet. He was still resting quietly, cloaked in the safety of another's heart.

He didn't need to be, though. Not anymore.

Ventus was ready to awaken.

Ven's half-dazed staring was interrupted by by the sight of a figure walking into his room, from somewhere on the edge of his vision. He whipped his head around, though his mouth didn't move nearly as fast. A barely-whispered muttering of "...Aqua?" was all that escaped before she was there, hugging him. Not a moment later, there was the feeling of cold metal on his shoulder. A glance to his other side told him who it was; Terra, still in his armor. Why was he...?

That didn't matter. At least his friends were safe.

They were all okay. They were together. Nothing else mattered.

Everything could be normal again, right?

"Hey, you aren't the only one." he said. "I missed you guys, too."

Sora's swift exit went completely unnoticed. Aqua was just too tied up in her friends right now - and who could blame her? Ven was awake, at last.

"Oh, Ven," she murmured, reluctantly pulling away to frown at him. "You're going to have to start training again soon, Ven. You've been sleeping for so long, do you even remember how to summon your Keyblade? And we still have a lot to do, too." Her happiness broke through a second later, and she cracked a smile. "I'm..." She shook her head, gesturing at herself and Terra. "We're glad that you're okay."
