By opening a treasure chest, moving a crate, and destroying a barrel, he materializes a door that leads to a dream version of Destiny Islands, where Sora meets facsimiles of his friends, Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie, which ask him enigmatic questions that determine how he gains experience throughout the game. The Station then sinks into darkness, and Sora awakens on the third pillar, where he is taught how to examine and interact with objects. After choosing, the Station shatters and Sora falls to the second pillar, where he first encounters Shadows, and is taught about battling and its rewards. He is directed to choose one and discard another, and his choice determines his specialty, initial stats, and ability growth throughout the game. On the first pillar, Sora is asked to walk, then is shown three weapons, which influence his path: the Dream Sword, the Dream Shield, and the Dream Rod. The final pillar, shaded yellow, depicts Belle, the Beast, his servants and the rose with its petals at the bottom.The fourth pillar, shaded red, depicts a sleeping Aurora holding a rose, surrounded by thorns and silhouettes of Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, and the silhouette Maleficent makes when vanishing into green fire.The third pillar, shaded pink, depicts three princess silhouettes, representing the three free Princesses of Heart, Alice, Jasmine, and Kairi.The second pillar, shaded violet, depicts a sleeping Cinderella, the castle, one of the mice turned horses, the pumpkin chariot, silhouettes of her and the prince dancing together, and the glass slipper. While Snow White is asleep, all the other characters are depicted as awake. The first pillar, shaded green, depicts Snow White, the Seven Dwarfs, the forest animals, and The Queen in her hag form.The four that are clearly depicted are asleep, perhaps signifying their comatose state in Hollow Bastion. Each of the Stations in his later Dive to the Heart illustrates one or more of the Princesses of Heart, as well as the characters related to them. As he steps into the ground, the darkness below his feet starts to transform into birds and fly away, showing a radiant light that slowly forms into a circle. In Sora's dream, he falls from the sky into the sea below with his eyes closed and slowly descends onto the ground with abyss surrounding him. However, instead of drowning they find that they can breathe, and land upon an ocean floor which erupts into doves, revealing the Dive to the Heart. To reinforce the dreamlike setting of the Dive to the Heart, Sora, Roxas, and Ventus each reach it by falling into an ocean. The player is guided through the Dive to the Heart by an inaudible, unseen "voice", whose identity is uncertain. In terms of gameplay, the purpose of the Dive to the Heart is to serve as a tutorial level, where the player will learn the controls of the game, choose how their character will grow, and fight their first boss. However, the events that occur within it have a real effect on the waking world, and in two instances they are actually observed by outside forces. It is framed as a world within a dream, and its nature as the dreamer's heart is reinforced by the background music, the gameplay tutorial, and the strange way of speaking used by those within it (a manner also used by the remembered characters of Chain of Memories). Each Station has a unique shade, depicts a specific set of characters, and has its own specific part in the tutorial. The Dive to the Heart is composed of several enormous, illuminated stained-glass pillars known as "Stations", rising from unseen depths. The Dive to the Heart is a unique realm that frequently is featured in the Kingdom Hearts series.
