"Skyler? What are you doing up there, Skyler?" called Mom. I was upstairs in my room.
I sighed. "What do you think, Mom?" I called back. "Homework! There's nothing else to do around here except homework! And it's July…."
"Where's Sora?"
"I'm in my room, Mom!" came Sora's voice from across the hall.
"Ok…well, you two just finish up your homework!" called Mom.
I sighed and looked at my next math problem.
127 is 48 of .
After setting up the proportion, I stopped. Sighing again, I got up. "I gotta get outta here…"
Walking quietly across the hall, I knocked on Sora's door. He let me in.
"Sora," I said, flopping down on his bed, "We have to get off this puny little island!"
"Why?" he asked, leafing through "Ninth Grade Science," his science textbook. "We've got everything we need here, plus more."
"Yeah, but there's nothing to do here! Everyday it's the same old stuff. Eat, drink, sleep, beat up Tidus."
Tidus was another boy who lived on Destiny Island. Despite being three years older than me, he…how can I put this? He had a crush on me. So I beat him up. Frankly, I didn't like him.
"Well..." said Sora carefully. "Go talk to Riku about it." Riku and Sora were best friends, along with another girl named Kairi. Obviously, he couldn't be bothered.
"Fine…" I left his room and began my decent down a flight of stairs.
"Ahem!" greeted my mother.
"Hi, Mom."
"Just where do you think you are going young lady?"
"Well, I was just going over to see Riku…"
"YOU HAVE HOMEWORK!"
"Ok…ok…" I backed up the stairs and into my room.
"And don't even touch that phone!" I heard my mother scream.
I didn't. Instead, I opened my bedroom window. I looked down. It was too far to jump. Concentrating hard, I jumped onto the windowsill.
Now thinking back on this incident, I've realized that what I did was kind of stupid. From the windowsill, I leaped to a tree and hung from a branch. I began to climb down from the tree. However, when I was hanging about ten feet from the ground, the branch I was holding snapped and I went down with it. The last thing I remember about that incident was a lot of pain, someone yelling "Hey!" and then total blackness.

And then the dream. I think this is where my adventure began. In the dream, I was standing on a circular platform. I heard a voice say "So much to do…So little time. Take your time. Don't be afraid."
"What do you expect!" I screamed back. "I'm standing on a platform in the middle of nowhere talking to a disembodied voice! And you say, 'Don't be afraid'?"
I heard a chuckle, and then four smaller square platforms rose up out of the "ground." "Choose well…"
Hovering above the platforms were shiny balls, each one a different color. There was a blackish-purple one, a pink one, a golden one, and a purely white one. I examined every single one.
As I approached the blackish-purple ball, the voice spoke again, describing it. As I held it in my hands, I have to admit I was a little scared. The amount of power it was emitting…it was frightening.
"The power of darkness. Ultimate power. The quest for complete control."
"No thanks…not really my thing…" That was more of….Riku's thing? No…Riku wasn't like that…was he?
I moved on to the pink one. The voice spoke yet again.
"The power of love. A gentle touch. The quest for harmony and peace."
"No…not really my kind of thing either." That was Kairi's thing, for sure.
Next came the golden one.
"The power of light. Heroic bravery. The quest for glory and fame."
"No….I guess not." That was kind of like Sora.
Lastly I approached the white one.
"The power of difference. Amazing adapting skills. Maybe a quest, maybe not."
"Ok! That sounds cool!" Besides, it was my last choice.
"You chose this power?"
"Um, well, yeah!"
The white ball felt good in my hands. Then suddenly it split into two shiny white balls that looked a bit like white rays of sunshine and flew around me in circles before disappearing.
"Now, what will you give up in exchange?"
Immediately I dashed over to the blackish-purple one, but stopped a foot away from it. "That one," I said, pointing. I didn't want to get near it.
The black ball disappeared into a flash of dark light.
"Now, tell me more about yourself…."
A huge light engulfed the platform and I couldn't see. When I could finally open my eyes, I was back on the islet that Sora and I played on. It was the balcony of a sort of huge treehouse. With me were Tidus and two other children from our island, Wakka and Selphie.
As I walked over to Selphie, she asked me the most un-Selphie question. "What's most important to you?"
"Are you feeling ok?" I asked back.
"Just answer me." She was firm.
"Ok…um…friendship." I would never give up my friends.
"Friendship? Is that really such a big deal?" She seemed to be provoking me.
"I wouldn't have chose it if it wasn't a big deal! SHEESH!"
Next I meandered over to Wakka. "What do you want outta life?"
"Huh?" People were acting weird today.
"You heard me." He was also firm.
"Well…I guess I wanna be strong…But…you should go home and get some rest."
He ignored my last remark. "To be strong, eh?"
Lastly, and with an angry expression on my face, I approached Tidus. "Ok, I see you've been waiting for me. What do you want?"
Tidus blushed a deep red, but asked his question anyway. "What are you afraid of?"
"Huh?"
Blush.
"Being indecisive. But…why do you wanna know?"
He blushed again and said, "Is being indecisive really so scary?"
"You wanna know scary?" I asked him, getting ready to punch. But then, the voice spoke, and apparently saved Tidus's hide.
"You want friendship. "You want to be strong. You're afraid of being indecisive."
"Yeah…"
"Your adventure begins at dusk-"
"Dusk! I don't want dusk! Dawn! Give me dawn."
"Very well. Your adventure begins at dawn. As long as the sun is shining, your journey should be a pleasant one."
"That's better. Ok, sure."
"The day you will play with reality is both far off and very near."
"Play with reality? Why? I like reality just the way it is." Except for maybe a few things.
Then I was suddenly back on the circular platform. Little black creatures popped out of the ground. They were entirely black…except for their glowing yellow eyes. Creepy, if you ask me.
The two white balls of light appeared at my side. "Think of a weapon…" said the voice. "Any weapon."
A weapon… I thought. Ok…um…um…a sword!
I found myself holding my arm out to the side. The two white balls of light began to circle my arm. They became gradually faster, until they were so fast they blurred together and there was a flash of blinding light.
When I could open my eyes, I was holding a sword in my hand. While marveling at the sword, I forgot about the black things…that is, until I felt a scratch on my arm.
Out of pure reflex (is that good grammar?), I began slashing blindly at the black things. Soon they were all gone, and there was another flash of bright light as the weapon disappeared from my hands and separated again into the two balls of light.
"Good, you got it faster than I expected you to."
"What's that supposed to mean!"
A chuckle, then a pathway appeared. I ran up the pathway onto yet another circular platform.
On the platform,a great light appeared from the ceiling. I was drawn to it, mostly out of curiosity.
"Thecloser you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes."
"Huh?"
I looked behind me, and observed my shadow. Yep, pretty big. Almost life-size…
Then it began to rise out of the ground. Startled, I stepped backwards. It was an exact twin of me, only…it was all black. And its eyes were two different colors. One red, one black.
"But don't be afraid," came the voice as my "shadow twin" (cheesy name, I know, but can we just call it that for now?) summoned the two dark balls of…well, of darkness that I had refused.
"And don't forget," the voice continued as I backed away from my "shadow twin" (man…that is just SO cheesy). She/it summoned a sword like mine, only completely black.
"Don't forget what?" I called back as my "twin" swung at me and missed. But the voice didn't answer. I had to fend for myself. Summoning my sword, I prepared for a long fight.
It wasn't all that long, actually. My "twin" kept swinging and missing, mostly because I was leaping out of the way. "No! Keep away from me!"
After an awful lot of swinging and missing, I decided I had to make a move. I swung at her/it with my sword and hit my "twin" good and hard. Now angry, my twin began swinging blindly at me.
Her/its blind swinging knocked me backwards and I fell. The sword disappeared from my hand, and the balls of light were nowhere to be found. I scooted backwards as my "twin" advanced.
Then a dark hole appeared below me, and as I began to sink in it, the voice spoke again, finishing its sentence.
"But don't be afraid…"
"Wait! Who are you? Can you help me?"
It ignored my plea for help. The black hole continued to swallow me up. My twin was preparing to whack me. "You hold one of the mightiest weapons of all."
"What do you mean? Those little light things disappeared! Please come help me…"
It ignored me again. The black hole began to swallow me head, and my twin was bringing her/its sword down. "So don't forget," the voice continued.
"No! Wait! Please!" This was the first time in my life I had every pleaded so earnestly.
Still ignoring me (as you might have guessed), the voice continued. I was almost completely submerged in the black hole, and my twin's sword was two inches away from my nose. Just as my twin's sword hit me and I was completely submerged, I heard the voice say, "You are the one who will control reality."
