Chapter 5: Son of Adam

Riku was having some trouble finding himself comfortable in the faun's home. The faun was barely over three feet high, thus the house was built as such. The nearly 6 foot Riku had trouble from hitting his head in the ceiling that was just under 5 feet.

"Would you like some tea?" Mr. Faun offered.

"Umm, no thank you," Riku replied. He looked at Mickey, whom had no trouble making himself comfortable in Mr. Faun's home. He gave Mickey some pleading "Can we leave now?" eyes. He would rather be cold then be cramped up like this very longer.

"Well," Mickey said. "We thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Fawn. However, we must leave now. We have a long journey ahead of us."

"Oh no!" Mr. Faun insisted. "You must stay. I have not yet taken the Turkish Delight from the oven yet. Please, please stay a bit longer." He looked up at Riku with pleading eyes.

Riku gave an aggravated sigh. "I'm sorry, but we do have to leave."

"At least take this!" The Faun dug in his chest for something and pulled out a long black cloak with a hood. "It will keep the wind from chilling your bones." He handed it to Riku. Riku took it and thanked the faun before he crawled out of the home followed by Mickey.

He stood up and put on the cloak. Yes, it did help the wind chill. The faun has seemed to have given Mickey one as well. Good, he didn't feel like carrying the mouse, even if he was the king of Kingdom Fantasy. "So where do we go now?"

"We have to find a town," Mickey stated. "Any type of civilization."

"If there is any," Riku stated.

"There is a keyhole in this world, just like any other," Mickey replied. "When we find the keyhole, we'll find the next keyblade. And when we find the keyblade, we can get out of here. The keyhole should be somewhere that will have civilization."

"Civilization?" Riku questioned. "Hmp, I don't think we'll have any luck with that topic for a long time."

Mickey's ears suddenly twitched at the sound of jingle bells. "Do you here that?"

Riku turned in the direction to the sound. Ahead he saw large horses pulling a sled through the snow. "Maybe our luck has changed." The sled pulled next to them and stopped. It was then that the passenger was revealed to them.

Riku took a step back. The woman was quite tall for a woman standard. She was white in her clothing and her skin. Her hair however was black and her eyes icy and cold. Riku knew eyes like that. He didn't like eyes like that. He wasn't going to fall for eyes like that ever again.

"My," the woman said. "The two of you look freezing!" She sounded concerned, but there was a tweak of sarcasm in her voice. "A little mouse and a young boy of your honored looks should not be allowed to endure such cold. Please, come with me, I will warm you up at my castle."

"And just who are you?" Riku questioned. "Do you honestly think we're fools enough to just willing go with an odd looking person such as yourself."

"Oh," she was taken back. The boy should've fallen under her spell the moment she spoke to him. "My apologies. I am The Queen of Narnia. However, Son of Adam, you may call me Jadis."

"Well, Jadis, I think we'll pass on your offer," Riku stated. "Just tell us where the nearest town or village is and we'll be on our way."

Jadis narrowed her eyes. How come this boy could not be taken by her spell directly? Was he that pure of heart. No, no, he wasn't. It was the fact that he was so impure, that is was his impurity that kept him from he spell. His heart has been touched too deep by the Darkness, that recognizing Darkness and avoiding it was not a problem for this one.

She looked over at the mouse. That one was two pure. Was he some sort of saint? There was no creature in the entire worlds that could be that pure, well except for. . . .

Her mind spat at the name before she thought of it. That damned lion was sealed away and sealed away for good. No one could interfere with her plans. No one could interfere with the Darkness, and the magic that it gave to her.

"Pity," Jadis said. "I would've spared you."

Her hand raised to the sky. A dark light shot from the snow.

Riku and Mickey grew tense, with Mickey drawing out his Keyblade and Riku drawing his sword. From the darkness, came the heartless.

"Just what we need," Riku grumbled. He charged for the heartless as his rodent companion went for the others as well.

Jadis narrowed her eyes. She couldn't have that rat wielding such a thing. That was the danger. Not the rat himself, or the boy, but that blade. Because if that boy have got a hold of that blade. . . . . .

Jadis waved her hand slightly. In an instant the white kingdom key was hurled from Mickey's hand. "No!"

"I'm sorry," she state with a smirk. "But I can't have a weapon such as that to be used in my kingdom." Her fist closed and with that action the White Kingdom Key was shattered into a million pieces.

Everyone and everything stopped and stared in awe as a white light emitted from the shattered blade. "No. . . . "

Riku felt his body become limp from it. No, they needed that keyblade. It was all they had. It was their only hope. However, his body was feeling limp for other reasons as well.

Mickey turned to look at Riku he was holding his hand close to his heart. No. . . .

"No," Riku stammered. He felt it, it was the same feeling as before. He didn't want it to come back. He felt it seeping over his heart. He felt it draining into his eyes. Darkness. . . .It's so dark....no....I don't want it back. I want to see the light. He looked up at his comrade. The vision was becoming blurry until he saw nothing and collapsed.

"Riku!" Mickey sprinted towards him, dodging and jumping over heartless in the process. He went to his friend and turned him over. "Riku! Get up!"

Riku's eyes there were open. They were open but so graying in coloring, and they weren't dilating. "Darkness. . . ."

"Riku! You can't let it get to you!" Mickey assured. "You have to fight the Darkness! You've done it before, Riku, you can do it again! You have to fight it!"

Jadis narrowed her eyes at the two. That keyblade, it was more than just a weapon for the rat. That weapon kept the boy's light in tact. It what was protecting his light from the darkness. This was her chance now. Her chance to stop them in there tracks. The Master Wielder would not be revived, and Darkness would always remain.

She raised her hand and began to summon the Deep Magic of her power. But she instantly stopped when she heard the sound of paw steps coming towards her, from behind her in the snow. Her eyes widened. That feeling.. . . .she knew that feeling. She knew who it was. No, but how could it be.. . . .?!

--------------------

Yes a short but sort of climaxy part for the Narnia half of the story. My Narnia fans should know who that lovely beast behind Jadis is. *smiles* Now should I leave the Narnia section hanging like it is and tell a little bit about Sora and Zidane, or Goofy ad Donald, or even Yuffie? Or how about some more background on this Master Wielder? Or do you want me to complete the next Narnia chapter first?
