Kingdom Hearts : Heart's Eclipse
Synopsis : Alexavis had always known she was different, but failing to stop Xehanort, losing her only family, and her inability to save Radiant Garden from its destruction took it's toll on her more than she could imagine. Now a Heartless with half her humanity, and unable to summon her keyblade, she must now guide a young boy named Sora as he becomes involved in a battle he should have never been thrown into. Rated T for cursing and anything else i may come up with.
Author's Note : This is an idea that has been stuck in my head for about a year now. It's gonna be a long project, and i have a bad habit of not finishing fanfictions outta laziness, procrastination or just playing games. I want to finish this though, as it has been some time since i've tried writing again. Hopefully i'll be able to finish this by Kingdom Hearts 3, but my plan is to include all the games starting with BBS and work my way to KH3. This will never be the most perfectly written fanfiction, but hopefully what i've sort of created as an anime in my head will at least be transferred into written words in a way you guys can understand what i've created.
Chapter 1: Birth by Sleep : Alexavis Awakens
The first thing at the beginning of my memory was darkness. Nothing but a sea of darkness surrounding me, but yet not trying to consume me. I do not know how long i floated in it, however, it felt like a very long time. Then suddenly a doorway made of light appeared to me, and something unknown seemed to beckon me to it.
And then i was falling from the sky.
When i awoke next, i was in a bed with a young woman sitting next to me. She jumped up when she saw me, and ran out the room calling for a Master Eraqus.
A older man, i assumed was this Master walked into the room and closed the door.
"Hello young lady. My name is Master Eraqus," he said standing by the end of the bed. "Might i ask for your name?"
I wasn't sure what to do, with no memory to speak of i tried to search for something to answer him with.
"My name is... It's Alexavis sir." While i couldn't fully remember, it felt right when i called myself by that name.
"A fine name. Now Alexavis do you recall how you came here? Aqua, that is the young lady who was caring for you, as well as my other apprentices saw you falling from the sky. You were in very bad shape, but it seemed the wounds were not from the landing." He was asking if i could remember coming 'here'.
I shook my head. "All i can recall was being surrounded by a sea of darkness..." I looked at his face, and his expression seemed very concerned, " there was this light, and when i touched it i was suddenly falling. I don't even know where i came from, of even where 'here' is. Even my name was hard to recall."
"This world you have come to by chance is called The Land of Departure. Here i trained my three apprentices. You have already met Aqua, however there are also Terra and young Ventus whom stay here." He explained as he paused thinking. "Alexavis. If you could stand there is a good friend of mine i would like you to meet. He may be able to figure out this situation you are in."
"I want to know who I am and where i come from, but even if he can't tell me that, i do hope he can at least help me." I stood up, not completely optimistic. I was thrown into a situation with no memory, in a place with people i don't know, but if this friend of Eraqus' could give me some form of insight, i will take my chances.
He summoned a key shaped sword in his hand and raised it.
"Is that... a Keyblade?" When i saw it i could recognize it, but i had no idea how i knew.
Eraqus looked to me in surprise. "You know this is called a Keyblade?"
"Yes sir. Just seeing it i knew what it was."
With that knowledge aside, he summoned a corridor of light, different and yet similar to the one i arrived in.
Stepping through i was greeted to a tall and weirdly shaped tower.
"This tower, it's in between light and darkness... Somehow i can just tell that is correct." I commented out loud before realizing i was thinking out loud.
Eraqus didn't comment this time. Instead leading me up the tower where we were greeted by an old wizard with a very long beard.
"Ah Eraqus my old friend it is good to see you." The wizard said, "and this is the young lady you spoke to me about?"
"Hello sir, my name is Alexavis." I said, shaking with nervousness. Just being in his presence i could sense the strength he possessed.
The wizard waved his hand for me to come closer. "There is no need to be nervous. My name is Master Yen Sid. While i am retired as a master, i continue to keep an eye on the balance. The other day i sensed your appearance in the worlds."
Eraqus placed his hand on my shoulder. "The reason i brought her to you was in hopes you could help her. She says she had no recollection of anything other that being surround by darkness before a light brought her to my care. Not only that but she knows what a keyblade is and is able to sense light and darkness."
Yen Sid stroked his beard in thought. " interesting. The ability to sense light and darkness as you have is something that takes even a master time to perfect. Even i spent many years to master the ability to the point i am today." He looked to Eraqus. "If you don't mind, summon your keyblade and hand it to Alexavis."
"Yes sir." Eraqus summoned his Keyblade and handed it to me.
I took the keyblade from him, and as i held it i could feel it accepting me as worthy of using it. It felt alive in my hands, as if it had a will of its own.
"She already has the ability to wield a keyblade. Alexavis do you think you could try to summon your own keyblade?" Yen Sid asked me, curious now.
I nodded and handed Eraqus his keyblade back. I tried to think of how his keyblade felt in my hands, its power and form. A light flickered in my hands as something tried to form and all of a sudden a keyblade materialized in my hand.
"Starlight." I said, somehow knowing the name of the keyblade immediately.
I seemed to surprise both masters, as they immediately asked me to leave the room.
A conversation in which Alexavis cannot hear.
"That keyblade she summoned, its the same one from the master's stories." Eraqus commented.
"Yes old friend," Yen Sid replied. "A keyblade created in mass for many keyblade wielders on all sides used during that Keyblade War. Unless it was passed down to her... Its possible she..." He stopped mid thought, as if he wasn't entirely sure it was possible.
"I have noticed something while she was in my care," Eraqus said. "Her heart seems similar to that of a Princess of Heart."
"Yes but it is unique compared to theirs. For it is equal parts light and darkness. Not only that but in regards to her memories, it seems someone has placed a powerful seal on her heart that even i cannot remove."
"A seal?" Eraqus gasped in shock. "Is it possible she knows something important that someone is trying to protect?"
Yen Sid nodded. "There's also the fact you mentioned she appeared to have been in a terrible battle when she came to Land of there could be a possibility the memory would be to much for her to handle and someone sent her here to protect her."
"Whatever the case, what should I do?"
"As with Ventus, protect her. Until she regains her memories there isn't much to be done." Yen Sid stood up and walked over to a window and gazed up at a light purple star he noticed appear recently. "I believe she will be very important in the future."
Master Eraqus never really explained everything he talked about with Yen Sid. He told me that there was some kind of seal on my memories, possibly to protect me from something tragic. However i had a feeling he knew more about me, but i would never be able to get that information from him any time soon.
He took me back to Land of Departure, what would become my new home. He brought me a large throne room where the woman by my bedside, a young man, and a young boy stood in respect as they awaited Eraqus to speak.
"Today we welcome a new apprentice, chosen by the keyblade," Eraqus began. "Her name is Alexavis, and while she has no memory of her life, i expect you all to welcome her as a new sister"
I spent the next few days mostly quiet on the sidelines while i watched the others train. The young woman Aqua seemed the more mature of the group. Despite the fact I was 18, and 1 year older than her, she treated Ventus and i like she was our mother. However even with her gentle nature, during training she is focused and determined as well as a powerful mage.
Terra, the young man, was my age and like an older brother. He was also determined and strong willed. While his magic was no where near Aqua's level, he made up for it with his slow, but powerful attacks.
Ventus was the youngest of us all at 13. He was shorter but that allowed him to move quicker and attack with weak but quick combo attacks. He was also a naive little kid, but he was always wanting to train like Aqua and Terra did and was challenging them daily.
Ventus was the quickest to accept me when he introduced himself first. Apparently when he arrived 3 years ago he too also didn't have any memories. Terra had laughed and commented that Ventus was "a complete zombie for 2 weeks before he opened up more," and that he was glad i had at least a personality to start with.
Ventus had yelled "Hey i was not!" While Aqua proceeded to hide her giggling.
"Alexavis watch out!" Terra yelled.
While i was thinking, during their training Aqua had knocked Terra's keyblade out of his hands and it was on a one way collision course to me.
I quickly summoned Starlight and blocked it, and it fell to the ground in front of me. "Hey come on guys don't aim for the sidelines!"
All three of them came running over to me as Terra picked up his massive keyblade. "That was an amazing block Alex."
Aqua looked over me like a mother hen. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." I said.
After that incident, i began training for the next year with Ventus. I sort of ended up adapting all three of their fighting styles as my own. I would use powerful strikes like Terra followed by quick attacks in succession like Ven, while using magic at range to distract like Aqua.
Before we all knew it, the day came where Terra and Aqua would take their Mark of Mastery exam. What we didn't know, was that it would be the last time we spent together before we lost everything we knew.
