An untold tale
Took me a long time to think this thing through. Very obscure predictions on what may happen in KH3 (no spoilers, of course), but most of it can be pieced together from KH and KH2. Inspired by the secret movies of KH2 and Final Mix.
Once there was an old man whose heart was larger than any other’s in the entire universe. He could traverse the worlds like none could, on solar winds and astral waves and the terra incognita, to watch over the worlds that he cared for so much.
However, in his watching of the worlds, he noticed a most formidable enemy approaching. An encroaching darkness that could not be stopped, and would most certainly leave everything to uncertain oblivion.
The man did not know what to do. He could research the darkness and find out just how malicious it was, or take the steps necessary to preserve the worlds that he had come to watch over like a parent would its children. But where could the worlds escape to, where the darkness could not follow?
He soon decided that there was no possible way for him to save all the people, their homes, and their worlds. Even the hearts of the worlds could not shelter all the inhabitants if the darkness was as powerful as he feared. But he could shelter those hearts—and the memories, emotions, and powers of the heart—in the one place large enough and compatible to shield them:
His own heart.
With all of his amazing powers, the old man removed his own heart and created from it a vast world of endless light. In this endless light, the hearts of the worlds could surely hide and recover if the darkness tried to take them.
He wove through every heart a thread—a heartstring—that would lead them to his heartland if they were threatened. And then he entrusted to the heavens, earths, and waters the means to free the hearts if they should ever be trapped.
Seven hearts of shining light were entrusted with the location of his heartland. Only together would they be able to find the heart of all worlds, but even then their combined power could not open it.
To the heavens, earths, and waters, he also entrusted the key to his heart—the key to the heart of all worlds. This key would cycle through the three bodies; should one fall to darkness, another would take up the key in the following cycle. One of the hearts of shining light would always be a part in the cycle, as a failsafe should the other two fall to darkness. In this way, the heavens, earths, and waters—the Trinity—could restore the universe should the darkness ever recede.
All seemed well with his plan, and for a brief while the old man was able to revel in his own peace. But then the darkness came, swelling and pulsing and so very terrible, sweeping through the worlds and plundering the very hearts that he tried so hard to save. Some floated free and escaped to his heartland, while the cycle of the key in the Trinity began as a countermeasure against the darkness. But he had made a grave error in all of his plans.
The old man never once considered the idea that he could be swallowed by darkness.
And when the darkness took him, he had no way to fight back, no way to resist. Almighty in light, he was equally terrifying in darkness, and he became a heartless gaunt always in search of that which could make it complete. But he could not touch his heartland, which had grown even more powerful with the hearts contained within, and was repelled completely. And so the old man, the heartless gaunt, went after the Trinity with its powerful, corruptible hearts.
He became known as No Heart, forever unable to join with his heart. His most sought after treasure, the heart of all worlds, would become the legendary Kingdom Hearts.
