Destiny Islands

Destiny Islands is the home world of Riku, Sora and Kairi. It is formed by two or more islands, only one of them is playable.

Locations
The Destiny Islands is a chain of small islands although only two have been shown so far. The main island is where the residents live and go to school, Kairi and Selphie are known to go to the same school. The main island also has a small beach and dock, where Kairi pushes her message in a bottle out of sea during the early events of Kingdom Hearts II.

The island where Sora, Riku, Kairi, Selphie, Tidus and Wakka play is a relatively small island, but is where most of the beginning of the story takes place. Most of the island is covered in trees and shrubbery. The outskirts are naturally covered in yellow sandy beaches. There is a wooden beach hut and a somewhat treehouse built into a large tree. A miniature island is settled next to the island and can be reached by crossing a bridge. Sora and Riku often practice their sword fights and where the friends can watch the sunset, one of the beautiful things of the world.

The back of the island has an obstacle course which Sora and Riku use during their competitive challenges. The Secret Spot is a cave hidden behind the island's waterfall, where the children visited during their childhood. Sora and Riku first discovered it when they were young children. There is a door in the cave which is actually the Keyhole of the world. The cave's wall are covered in chalk drawings, some hinting at later encounters the children later encounter. Among them is a drawing of Sora and Kairi giving sharing a Paopu Fruit.

Story
Destiny Islands is a small world, which often leads to the boredom of its inhabitants, especially Riku, who desired to leave the islands and see the other worlds out there. Tidus once said that once you sail a certain distance from the islands, you simply can't go any further, but the other islanders believe he merely turned back and made up the story. The main island seems to be where the inhabitants of the world live and go to school, while the playable section is a small island nearby that the children often travel to for their enjoyment. The player only spends a short time on the islands collecting supplies before the Heartless attack, so not much is seen of the world. Things of note in Destiny Islands include what Sora and co. have dubbed "The Secret Place" a seemingly normal cave that has a mysterious locked door and the end. This door is also the way the islands are connected to the other worlds, and Xehanort's Heartless uses this door to gain entrance to the world. There is also the Paopu fruit, a small star-shaped fruit which is rumored to bind the destinies of two people who share it forever.
