There appears to be a fairly large town in the background, with a long clay path leading to the beach. Sora's house can briefly be seen before Sora encounters the [[Darkside]]. However, the only portion of the house shown is Sora's bedroom during the storm. | ||
The smaller island, where Sora, Riku, Kairi, [[Selphie]], [[Tidus]], and [[Wakka]] play, is where all of the playable scenes take place. It is reached by canoe from the main island. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Seashore}}'''|海辺|Umibe}} area is naturally covered in yellow sandy beaches, exotic trees and shrubbery, and wooden constructions. There is a {{nihongo|'''{{a|Seaside Shack}}'''|海辺の小屋|Umibe no Koya}} and a large treehouse built into an enormous tree. The Seaside Shack contains the island's only [[Save Point]]. A miniature island is settled next to the island and can be reached by crossing a bridge (which can be accessed by using the stairs in the Seaside Shack mentioned above or alternatively, by swimming towards a ladder on the opposite side of the island, and then climbing it). Sora can also have duels with Wakka, Selphie and Tidus nearby in the first game. Sora and Riku often practice their sword fights at the place where the friends can watch the sunset—past the Bridge, on the miniature island. On that island is a crooked palm tree that grows [[Paopu Fruit]]s. Local myth dictates that the two people who share one will have their destinies intertwined. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Cove}}'''|入江|Irie}} at the back of the island has an obstacle course that Sora and Riku use during their competitive challenges. | The smaller island, where Sora, Riku, Kairi, [[Selphie]], [[Tidus]], and [[Wakka]] play, is where all of the playable scenes take place.

At the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', [[Master Xehanort|a young Xehanort]] stares at the sunset and states that the world was too small. Many years later, he returns as an old man, intending to leave his seemingly dying, comatose apprentice, [[Ventus]], at the islands for his final days. However, Ventus's broken heart connects with that of the newborn Sora, and he revives, summoning his Keyblade. Seeing further use in the boy, Xehanort immediately takes him to Master Eraqus at the Land of Departure. | At the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', [[Master Xehanort|a young Xehanort]] stares at the sunset and states that the world was too small.

Some time after Master Xehanort and Vanitas's defeats, Sora and Riku watch the stars on a beach facing the Small Island. As they prepare to depart home, Sora suddenly feels Ventus's sadness connecting with his heart. Riku advises him to try and reach out to that sad heart, and as Sora connects to Ventus's heart he enters his first [[Dive to the Heart]]. He joins his heart with Ventus's, hoping to make it happy again, then tells Riku that he was right as they go back to watching the stars. | |||

When Sora awakens from his [[Dive to the Heart]], he meets up with Kairi and Riku. The three plan on building a raft and to set sail across the sea to find other worlds away from the island. Destiny Islands is a small world, which often leads to the boredom of its inhabitants, especially Riku, who desires to leave the islands and see the other worlds out there. Riku says his desire is thanks to Kairi, who herself came to the Islands from [[Radiant Garden|another world]] | When Sora awakens from his [[Dive to the Heart]], he meets up with Kairi and Riku.

Sora's confusion lasts long into the night. Resting up in his bedroom, he sees a dangerous storm approaching, and hurries off to the island to save the raft. | ||

Sora tries to fight the Shadows, but couldn't harm them at all with his [[Wooden Sword]]. He finds Riku, who is surrounded by darkness. Riku tells Sora to accept the darkness, and then they are both swallowed up by it. However, Sora is saved from it by the appearance of the [[Kingdom Key]] in his hand. Once out of the darkness, he sees that Riku has disappeared. With the Keyblade now under his control, Sora fights and defeats the Shadows that he could not harm before. He then finds an apparently-ill Kairi in the Secret Place. A great wind suddenly occurs emanating from the world's Keyhole, pushing Kairi's body right through Sora's and pushing both of them out of the Secret Place. Landing on the Islands as they are slowly crumbling into darkness, Sora fights and defeats the [[Darkside]] for the second time, but fails to save his home, and is whisked away on his journey to [[Traverse Town]]. | ||
As his first journey ends, Sora and Kairi meet up on the shores of the reforming islands. Sora, knowing that his job is not finished, and that he must still save Riku and King Mickey from the [[Realm of Darkness]], leaves Kairi in the safety of her hometown and promises to return to her as soon as Riku and King Mickey are found. | As his first journey ends, Sora and Kairi meet up on the shores of the reforming islands.

*The orientation between the Main Island and the Small Island is somewhat ambiguous. Although both ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' depicts the Small Island's miniature islet (accessible from the Small Island by bridge) as facing the open ocean and the setting sun, the scene in which [[Kairi]] stands on the beach of the Main Island in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' depicts the Small Island in the opposite position, with the miniature islet facing the Main Island and the Cove facing the setting sun. However, if this was its correct orientation, the Main Island would have been visible from the islet's Paopu tree, and previous games show the view from said tree as simply endless ocean and an unobstructed view of the setting sun. | *The orientation between the Main Island and the Small Island is somewhat ambiguous.
