(Radiant Garden)
Far beyond the outskirts of town, a small mass of Heartless began gathering, swarming towards the undefended outskirts, intent on devouring the hearts of all those who resided in the small, wooden buildings. However, as they began to advance, a burst of dark red-black light appeared, and a black-cloaked figure stepped out of it. The figure stood silently, watching their advance, before, in a quiet undertone, it spoke.
"Heartless...Vile, hollow things...your time in this place...is at an end."
It said, flicking a dark-furred arm out from within the cloak, seven katana swords appearing in a circle behind it. In a flash, it lunged through the mass of them, moving swiftly enough that the Heartless barely had time to react before they were sliced apart. The figure stood, twirling one of it's swords and sheathing it, before turning towards the castle...
"Now...time to begin my mission..."
It muttered, vanishing in another flash of light...

(Verdant Forest)
Adrian, the young fox, sat on a tree branch, strumming a harp idly.
"Adrian! Come down from that tree over there! We're going to be late!"
Robin Hood, the legendary outlaw of Sherwood Forest, called to him. He vaulted idly out of the tree, landing on the ground with barely any sound, and replied.
"Yes, yes. Coming Robin!"
He grabbed his bag, placing the harp back in it. Today was the one-year celebration of King Richard's return, and the entire band of Merry Men were traveling into the castle for the festival.
I know I should be glad for this, but...why do I feel such an ill wind blowing...?"
Adrian thought as he sprinted off...
