Prologue:Awakening
"A scattered dream that's like a far off memory, a far-off memory that's like a scattered dream. I want to line the pieces up yours and mine."
-cue dive into the heart-
In the depths of the mind and the depths of the heart one boy will find his place in the world and face his destiny. As a youthful boy plunged into the depths of the heart he found himself to what looks to be an endless pool of shadow and what lies beneath his feet upon landing is what seemed to be a mural with a single beam of light pouring down onto the endless darkness onto a single point. As the boy approach the light a small touch of his hand the whole room lid up in a wave of bright light revealing what seemed to be a bright mural of himself a red haired lad with lightly tanned skin medium to average build and clothes of a silver and yellow shirt and shorts with the number 15 designed on the front of the shirt indicating he played a sport of some kind as he looked down as his brown slack shoes. And wondered why he could only see himself in such a strange place when a voice called out to him.
"so much to do, so little time, but take your time, and be not afraid. The door is still shut now step forth can you do it?"
The boy could only nod and obey as he followed the echoes of the voice in his heart and soon found a pair of three pillars each with a sword, staff and shield upon them. As the boy approached the pillars the voice echoed once more.
"these are the tools that will help you along your journey. You must choose one and forsaken the others"
The boy nods as he thought long and hard about his decision as he approached the shield and touched it as the voice echoed "the shield a sign of defense and protection will you choose this as your power?".
The boy nods as he was granted the shield as he approached the sword the voice in heart spoken once more "the power of the sword a weapon of destruction is this what you will forsake" the boy nods as the sword faded into darkness leaving only the mage's staff as he approached it as well and it too faded into darkness. As the boy watched a door appeared before him as he began to walk towards it. When the voice of his heart spoken once more "now open the door and face the path that lies before you."
the boy nods as he walks through the door and to his surprise several beams of light stretched before him revealing a path upon another pillar as the boy approached the lights as the door behind him shut in a flash of light as he began to make his way up to the pillar. The boy couldn't help but get the feeling of being watched and as he made it to the final pathway and onto the second mural he soon found his fears to be unfounded as creatures of darkness began to form and surround the boy. Each one looking small yet harmless with big round yellow eyes and small hands and feet, the boy seemed afraid but the voice in his heart ranged once more.
"be not afraid for you have the strongest weapon of all"
The boy nods as the creatures soon lunge at him attacking him on all sides as the boy counters by shield bashing each of the heartless in his way. Swinging from left to right watching all of them become a plume of dark mist as the boy seemed to enjoy himself. And when the fighting was done the boy soon saw yet another challenge from behind him a larger more massive creature bigger than the ones he fought before but the lad was not afraid.
As he raised his shield once more and began to attack the bestial monster at his legs. Swinging his shield left to right to no avail as hulking beast plunged his fist down onto the boy. Which the boy quickly defended as he felt the impact of the blow the boy skidded back nearly to the edge of the platform giving himself time to breath from such an attack he stood up at the ready and charged up dodging the monsters hulking fists until one miss which was planted into the ground leaving him with an opening.
Once he jumped onto the monster's arm he ran alongside it as fast as he could and before the monster could attack with his other arm. The boy threw his shield at it deflecting the attack but also causing it to bounce back where he caught it and upon him leaping onto the air he aimed his shield into the beast's skull finishing it before it had a chance to counter as the beast began to topple over and began to disappear into a plume of dark mist that covered the whole area. The boy fell through and struggled to keep the darkness off him to prevent it from claiming him a hand reaches out to him from the light and as the boy grabbed it the whole area filled with light as the boy came to from such a strange dream with a book lifted off his face and a young girl above him stating "Morning sleepyhead".
