Full summary: This is the first story of a series, known as the Earthblade series. The story is about how a new keyblade master (OC) faces his first challenge, on his home world, Earth. It will also detail how he came to poses the keyblade, in a later chapter. Sorry, but the only Kingdom Hearts characters in this installment are the heartless, the rest are OCs.
Disclaimer: I do not own the heartless. I do not own the keyblade. I do own Andrew, Devlin, Maria, and all my other OCs. I own Shadowhaven. I doubt I own Earth. I think I own just about everything else too.
A/N: I will put an author's note at the beginning and end of every chapter. I will stop if at least ten reviewers tell me to stop. This chapter is a prolog, and is in the POV of a shadow heartless. He is obviously not the main character.
Earthblade
Prolog:
The creature sensed a darkness, faint but still their. It mindlessly chased it down, like a predator hunting its prey. In fact, it was exactly like a predator hunting its prey. The soon to be victim was an unarmed child, approximately 15 years old. The child's heart was as pure as they come, but still their was the darkness, every light, casting a shadow. Though running through the urban jungle, tall constructs of brick and concrete surrounding him and his demonic pursuer, the heartless sensed no fear from him. A smarter creature would know something was up, but the shadow only knew that this boy had something he needed, a heart.
Yet their was always a voice of reason, a light casting the shadow. You can't use me for this, I won't let you! The man cried out to his dark counterpart in vein, as he knew it would be.
He was just an average man, before the heartless arrived. He had a desk job, which he did every day of the week, ridiculous as it seemed with the evil creatures invading. One night, a small group of heartless, three shadows and a solider, knocked down his door. He was transformed instantly, no last words, requests, or even a chance to run were given to him. The heartless didn't operate like that.
He remained alive, trapped inside his own darkness, watching the deaths of hundreds of people, each one his fault, each one beyond his control. He eventually stopped screaming, no one could hear him, except the damned thing he had become, and it sure as hell didn't care. Slowly, he began to go crazy, trapped within his own mind, begging for death. The worst part of it was, he was the shadow, and he felt its emotions. The emptiness within it, the hunger for darkness, and the thrill of the kill, the only three things it felt, were constantly flowing through him, like a river of sins, his, yet at the same time, not his.
This was different though. This was the first time he, it, had tried to kill a child. He isn't afraid of you! He doesn't look stupid either. He has a plan; I hope he kills you, you bastard!
The shadow of his former self ignored him. It ignored everything, except its need to feed. The boy was 20 yards away, and had led them down an alleyway. However, it was then he did something peculiar. The boy stopped, turned around, and stood there, as if waiting for the heartless to kill him.
What are doing, run you idiot!
The shadow was already feeling the serge of victory. It took mere moments to close the gap, and lunge!
No!
That's when it all stopped. Their was a flash of light, and for a half a second, the darkness knew fear. Then the world began to fade away, as it collided with the light. The darkness was sealed back within the man's heart, his to control. The last thing he saw before heading towards whatever the next life would bring was the image of a giant key, and then he went blind, his vision blocked by an eternal light. The last thing he heard came from the boy, and he said, "Be free." Then the man was gone.
A/N: I would appreciate reviews. I will give credit to all reviewers who give me constructive criticism in the A/N at the beginning of the next chapter. Other than that, tell me if you like it, tell me if you don't, but I defiantly want to be able to read your reviews reviews, and sorry but I only speak English. This is my first story, so I really want to here what everyone thinks.
