Challenge: [309] Worlds
Title: For No Man Is An Island
Word Count: 100
Spoilers: KH3D spoilers ahoy!
Notes: Kind of a metaphorical take on the prompt. This… went in a direction I wasn’t entirely expecting. Lots of thoughts and feels on the nature of worlds in Kingdom Hearts, and how people and worlds are similar. Metaphysics, love the metaphysics.
“A Keyblade Master is a world unto himself.”
Sora turns, startled to see Yen Sid watching him. The sorcerer speaks in his low, slow voice. “You have a question. This is the answer.”
“I don’t understand.” Sora struggles an instant before simply letting his thoughts burst out. “Why am I here? Why do I matter, if I’m not a Keyblade Master?”
“Sora. What keeps a world from drifting into darkness?”
Sora ponders, then understands in a sudden flash of insight. “A sun.”
Yen Sid nods approvingly. “All worlds must orbit a sun. People are no different.”
Sora shudders with responsibility.
