Chapter One
"Beginnings"
I wake up to find myself in a dark room, the only light radiating from what looked like a stained glass window on the floor. I hear a voice call to me.
The door is shut.
I look around to see who was speaking to me.
You have the power within you.
A pedestal with a sword rises from the floor.
If you give it a form…
Another pedestal arises, this time with a staff.
It will give you strength.
Another pedestal with a shield raises from the floor.
Not knowing what was going on, I looked at each of the weapons. After a moment's hesitation, I went over to the sword and picked it up.
The power of the warrior.
Invincible courage.
A sword of terrible destruction.
Is this the power you seek?
I needed only think the word, "Yes," and the sword disappeared from my clutch.
Your path is set.
Now, what will you give up in exchange?
I walked over and chose the shield.
The power of the guardian.
The kindness to protect your friends.
A shield to repel all.
You give up this power?
Again, I did not need to say "Yes."
You have chosen the power of the warrior.
You have given up the power of the guardian.
Is this the form you choose?
"Yes, I choose this form. But what does all of this have to do with me?" I asked, this time out loud.
No answer. It's as if the voice only heard what it wanted to hear.
The platform beneath me disappeared, and I found myself on an entirely different platform. When I arrived, I saw these strange beings. They looked like shadows with bulging, glowing yellow eyes. They made a move to attack me, but at that moment, a weapon appeared in my hand. It looked like a giant key.
"What is this thing?" I asked.
I may not have known what it was, but I knew that I was being attacked, and without thinking, I swung my key at the shadows. They were shot backwards, flinched, and made to attack again. I swung at them a few more times before they were defeated, and disappeared.
"What the hell are these things?"
Again, no answer. My patience was growing thin with all of this suspense. It was about this point when I heard the mysterious voice again.
Behind you!
I heeded its warning, finding another shadow behind me. I swung at it, this time killing it in one hit. The next moment, some stairs appeared out of nowhere. They seemed to lead to another great platform.
I proceeded up the stairs, noticing that as I stepped off of a step, it disappeared. I noticed a beam of light radiating from the platform. I walked up to it and heard the voice once more.
The closer you get to the light, the bigger your shadow becomes.
I looked behind me to see the great dark silhouette of me on the floor. It was a good 45 feet long! The next moment, my shadow began to move on its own. It came out of the floor, and began to take a form that was not human at all! It had dreadlocks like lightning bolts, glowing yellow eyes, a muscular build, and a giant hole in its chest, in the shape of a heart.
I looked at this new enemy, knowing that I had to fight it. With that, I began slashing at it with the key. I ran when I could, and avoided its projectiles. After fifteen minutes of continuous dodging, slashing, and running, I finally defeated it. Suddenly, I was engulfed in darkness. Did I pass out? Did I die? No, I must have merely been sent back to where I was before.
I was in my bed, laying down, my pajamas sweaty and my eyes tired. I realized that all it had been was a dream. Or was it? I had no idea. I had decided that it was best not to dwell on it, so I got up and made some breakfast. I had just finished eating when I got a phone call. Setting down my spoon, I went over to the phone and picked it up.
"Hello, Thompson residence, how my I help you?"
"Hi, Leo!" said an excited voice that I knew to be my friend, Jack.
"Jack. What's going on?" I asked.
"I'm on my way to town on my bike would you mind if me and the others stopped by on our way back?"
"Sure, no problem. What time?"
"You can expect us around dinner time. Speaking of dinner, when was the last time you had pizza?"
"Last Friday, why?"
"Well, we were thinking about bringing some over. Do you mind?"
"No, no, of course not."
"See you then." Jack hung up.
I had not seen Jack and the others for two weeks. I flipped on some music as I tidied up the house a bit.
("It's My Life"
BON JOVI
CRUSH 2000
Jon Bon Jovi/ Richie Sambora/ Max Martin)
I said to myself, "Play it, Richie" as Richie Sambora's voice played over the talk box.
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I dusted the ceiling with a Swiffer Duster.
And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud
Drum beat.
Chorus
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
And I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
I turned on the air conditioner and set the temperature.
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
I often got confused when he mentioned Tommy and Gina.
Tomorrow's gettin' harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky, gotta make your own breaks
Drum beat
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
And I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
I could hear Richie Sambora making those sounds with his talk box again. He was making his voice sound like an electric guitar.
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down.
The music stopped, and then after a few seconds, it resumed.
Drum beat
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life.
The song finished, and I my throat felt a little sore.
"Man, that Jon can sing!!" I exclaimed.
I listened to a few more Bon Jovi Songs while I waited for my friends to get to my house. I lied down on the couch. I guess I must have dozed off, because when I opened my eyes, my friends were already inside.
"Morning, sleepyhead," said Jack. He was sitting with my brother, Ryan, my other friends, Bill Taylor, Maya Willis, and her sister Tanya, and my brother's friend Lisa Miller. They were playing a video game on my PS3.
"How did you guys get in?" I asked.
"The front door was unlocked. How're you doing, Leo?"
"I'm fine. What are you guys playing? Can I play with you?"
"In order? We're playing Killzone, and Sure, you can play, it's your game."
"Ah, never mind, you guys go ahead."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. Is anyone else in here?"
"I don't think so. Why?"
"I've gotta tell you guys something."
I began to tell them about the dream I had the previous night. It took me all of two hours to tell them the tale. I told them about the mysterious weapons and the strange voice. I told them about the mysterious beings that I had engaged in combat. I told them about the strange darkness that had engulfed me. After I told them, they were stunned.
"So, let me get this straight, do you think that that voice was trying to tell you something?" asked Maya.
"Yeah."
"Son of a buck," said Jack. He always said that when something surprised, scared, frustrated, or angered him.
"Well, we had best not dwell on it. I ordered some pizza. It should be here any minute, now," said Tanya.
That night went by fast. We ate pizza, talked about the day, and played video games all night long. My friends didn't feel like going home, so I invited them to sleep over. As we were getting ready to go to bed, Maya asked a question that made me curious about life.
"Hey, Leo, do you think that there are other worlds out there besides this one?" she asked.
I thought long and hard before finally answering, "Well, yeah. We can't be the only form of intelligent life in this universe."
"No, No, No. I don't mean alien worlds. I mean, could there be other worlds with human beings living on them?"
"I don't know. It's possible."
"Do you think we'll ever see any of them?"
"Someday, maybe."
"Well, good night, Leo."
I looked after her for a short while after she left. She seemed so perfect, somehow. We all fell asleep that night hoping that the next day would hold a pleasant surprise.
I woke up to someone shaking me.
"Leo! Wake up!"
It was Jack. He seemed panicked.
"What's going on?" I asked him.
He pointed at the sky. There was a great void that looked like it was sucking up our town. It was a blackish purple color. I looked at the ground and saw more of the shadows that had attacked me in my dream.
"GUYS! STAY BACK!" I yelled. I didn't know what to do. The shadows outnumbered us a hundred to one. Suddenly, I had a thought.
I extended my hand and felt a whooshing sensation in my hand, and clutched a cold metal handle, which I knew to be the handle of the oversized key. I heard the mysterious voice once again.
Keyblade.
"Key… blade?" I asked.
"Leo, what is that?" Jack asked.
I didn't answer him, I was too busy slashing at the enemies.
"Guys, there will be plenty of time for explanations later. But right now, we have to get out of here. Run ahead of me, I'll catch up. Jack, I want you to try something for me, okay?"
"Alright, what is it?" he asked.
"Extend your hand. Focus on it with all of your intention."
He did so, and with that, a Keyblade of his own appeared in his hand.
"Good! Now, run ahead. Don't bother trying to eliminate all of them. Just kill the ones in front of you and run!"
"Right!"
I began fighting my way through the shadows. After about five minutes I caught up with the rest of the group. They had encountered a giant figure with a hole in its chest where its heart should have been.
"Fight it! Guys, try the same thing that Jack did!"
Everyone did as they were told, and they all had their own Keyblades, each one was different, and they matched each person's subconscious desires. I looked at them, then back at the creature, and smiled.
"Let's do this!" I yelled.
My friends and I began fighting with the creature. When it was nearing destruction, it summoned many smaller shadows to come to its aid. Jack eliminated the smaller ones with little difficulty.
After a quarter of an hour of fighting, we defeated the creature, and I felt that familiar darkness engulf me once again.
We woke up in an alleyway in a dark town. It was all lit up with neon.
"Where are we?" Lisa asked.
We had no idea.
We got up and walked until we reached a sign.
Welcome to Traverse Town.
