Chapter1: Humble Beginnings

The world has its heroes and its villains. There is good and there is also evil. There is light and there is darkness. Darkness shall offer thee an increase in all your abilities however you will lose the light of your heart which is the true source of your ultimate strength. The greatest source of light is true love and no matter how much darkness engulfs you, your true love will always leave an eternal light shining in your heart. Though light is good, not all light is good and not all darkness is evil. These are the lessons of life two people will eventually learn. They are Terra and Aqua and this is their story…

There are many worlds and each world is different and unique in its own way, inhabited by different people with different intentions. One such world is the Land of Departure. It is a very small world with a castle as the only sight of architecture surrounded by valleys and cliffs where the sun sheds its radiant light and at night the moons and stars shine their own radiant specks over the three inhabitants: Master Eraqus, Terra and Aqua.

Master Eraqus is the eldest being the mentor and fatherly figure for Terra and Aqua. He is by all means, as far as looks are concerned, a samurai warrior with the silver robes and ponytail to mach however this warriors weapon is not your average samurai sword, rather a unique weapon called a Keyblade. It is only given to selected people, chosen by fate which lights their destinies. The weilders of these weapons were known as 'Keybearers' and many had developed their skills worthy of the title of master like Master Eraqus. The keybearers each had a unique keyblade and were skilled in several abilities such as physical attacks, magic or speed.

Terra was a tall muscular man with blue eyes and spiky hair as dark as the earth. He wore a light black shirt with black jeans though he previously had worn hakama pants to match his mentors warrior appearance however it made Aqua burst with laughter and so he abandoned it. His left arm was completely covered in armor which was a mix of brown and yellow, much like his keyblade, Earth shaker. He specialized in close combat and his physical strength exceeded that of his mentor.

Unlike Terra, Aqua specialized in magic. She was fascinated by it and would continue to surround herself with books to learn more magic commands. She was completely different than any other girl. She had blue eyes though more of a lighter shade than Terra's and even had short blue hair. She wore light dark clothes that extended down just above her knees with 4 pink lines intersecting at her chest along with long dark blue socks and shoes with wings at the sides. Her keyblade was known as Rainfall which was completely blue. She was 15 while Terra was 17 and they were as close as any friends could possibly be, perhaps even more. Both had a kind and caring heart and would do anything to uphold justice and bring peace to the worlds which were attacked by strange creatures known as the Heartless. However they were no match for the two young apprentices. Terra would use his close combat skills to slice the monsters in half while Aqua used magic to burn, freeze, paralyze and much more to beat her foes. Even with the strange and dangerous situation, they would treat each day like a normal one and every night both of them would recall how they met for the first time before going to bed…

It was a bright sunny day and Terra was busy training with his keyblade until Master Eraqus arrived with a young girl.

" Training hard Terra?", the master asked.

"Yes master", the boy responded but he was too busy to look at his master or the girl.

Aqua was astonished at the boy's dedication to training and vowed to be equally dedicated.

" Terra, we have a guest. Her name is Aqua, she will train with you to be a keyblade master one day.", said the master.

Terra turned his gaze to the young girl and was completely in awe.

" I'll leave you too alone for proper introductions", the master left.

The boy and girl took a good look at each other and quickly turned their gaze down to the ground till a long silence followed.

" H-hi, the names Ter-Terra", Terra said.

Aqua giggled softly.

"What's so funny!"

" Well, our names both mean the elements. You're the earth and I'm the water", Aqua responded

"Hmmmm….what a coincidence, looks like we both have something in common other than our handsome and beautiful faces"

Aqua blushed and so did terra who was completely shocked by his own comment.

Silence followed and Aqua and Terra would stare at each other, their blue eyes completely in synch, never letting go.

"Beautiful", terra said.

Aqua blushed red, "What?"

"I've never met anyone with blue hair before, no less with blue eyes. It suits you really well cause it makes you look pretty." Terra blushed after saying that and so did aqua.

"…..weird", aqua giggled.

"Huh?"

"Oh don't worry, I'll tell you someday"

"Ok….u know what?"

"What"

"I really like you aqua and from now on we'll share a dream!"

Aqua's face flushed red, "dream?"

" That's right! We will share the dream to become keyblade masters together and throughout the dream I'll help you with everything. From now on, we are best friends and we'll share everything with each other.", Aqua was mesmerized by his voice while Terra extended his hand to her, " friends?"

Aqua shook his hand and said, "no" Terra was confused till she continued " We are best friends."

Terra was overcome with joy having someone to fill the empty void of being isolated from everyone else.

Terra shouted to the heavens " You hear that worlds! I have Aqua as my best friend and you can't do anything about it!"

Aqua blushed red once again and terra noticed it.

"Why is your face so red?"

Aqua averted her gaze and giggled "You'll find out someday"

Terra scratched the back of his head in confusion " Great! more secrets"

Aqua giggled softly,

" Aqua! Come here so I can give you a tour of the castle" Eraqus called.

Aqua and Terra sighed since they wanted to spend more time together.

"See ya tomorrow!" Aqua said.

"Definitely" Terra replied.
