Jake -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm in my bedroom the princesses gave me and was thinking over their request. They never left the subject alone. Even if I say no every time they ask. The next day they ask the same question of 'will you teach us?'. I honestly don't know why they keep asking the question. *knock* "It's me." Celestia said from the other side of the door. I look at the clock to see it is 9:43 AM. "Come in!" I yell through the door. The door gets the golden aura of Celestia's magic and opens up. "How come you weren't at breakfast this morning?"Celestia asked. While she asked I see Luna at the door hiding behind it. I chuckle and say "I lost track of time. Thinking about certain events. But the answer is still no, I'm not going to give you guys a keyblade Luna.". They went wide eyed When her name was called. She peaked around the corner and asked. "How did you know I was here?" "Your tail wasn't all the way behind the door." She looked down sheepishly. Celestia was still stunned so I snapped my fingers in front of her face. officially pulling her back into reality from the daydream she was having. "Anyways, is there something else you guys were coming here for? Or were you guys coming here to ask the question." I said. "We were wondering why you won't teach us so we can help you. We just feel so bad that you have to do all the work."Celestia said, looking down and remembering when I got possessed. My heart ached for me to tell them yes and teach them. But I know better than to trust my heart on this matter. I look out the window and sigh. "Because wielding a keyblade means dying yourself. If you don't die from heartless then you will die from the nobodies or the unversed. And you also have to be able to put your life before an innocent's life. and if a heartless has a heart in it then most likely a nobody needs to die for the person that died to come back." I told them. To say they were shocked was a understatement. Luna was the first one to snap out of the shock. "Then why did you become a keyblade wielder?" She asked. They both look at me while waiting for me to say what happened. "...I didn't chose to." I said. They both looked confuse by my answer. Then I notice Luna piece together the puzzle and not long after Celestia too. They both let out a gasp and look to me with sadness. "Don't ask me to train you. It would take to much. I wasn't even out of school when I got this keyblade. All because the heartless was after me and my heart..." Then the dam broke open as tears started running down my face. I turn away from them and looked out the window. When I felt two sets of wings on my back, I knew they were hugging me. 'All that comes from being a keyblade wielder is destruction. No matter how hard you stop it. All the friends you ever make will die. Over and over the process will repeat.' Then one final thought entered my head before I fell asleep in their arms. 'I'm so tired of fighting'.
