Love for the Sky
Prologue
There was once a line of guardians who protected those seeking and defending the light. They aided the seekers of defenders of light, known as those who bore the key, with everything. It was their very existence, embedded in their very core to protect them.
Unfortunately, the number of those who bore the key was depleted. They stopped seeking the light and more started to seek the darkness instead. The Guardian Angels were dying out…but one.
This is the story of the last of those guardian angels. She is now the only one to exist because there was a boy who was in need of her services.
She was the last Guardian Angel.
He was a young Key Bearer.
This is their story.
Will you dare to read of their fate?
I've been having these weird thoughts lately…
Like…is any of this for real…or not?
The darkness made way for the light as a brunette boy opened his bright blue eyes. This boy had never been here before, but it somehow felt familiar. He was wearing red knee length pants, a red shirt, a cropped black jacket with white sleeves and a hood, and white fingerless gloves with some sort of silver symbol on the back of them. Yellow and black shoes were on his feet and he wore a blue belt around his waist. Around his neck was a silver chain with a crown pendant on it.
The brunette boy looks around in curiosity before a bright white light appears in the middle of the platform he was standing on. As the bright light cleared, he could see that a girl, no older than he, was floating towards the ground. Her eyes were closed, so he could only guess that she was unconscious. He couldn't help but think she was pretty…
The girl had long luscious ruby red hair and it reached her waist. Her ruby red tresses were held back in a long braid while her bangs were free to frame her face. They reached a little past her chin. Since her eyes were closed, he couldn't see what color they were.
The dress she was wearing was really unique. It was sleeveless, but it was also high collared. The color of the bust up was a deep ruby color, matching her hair, and there was a black ribbon directly under her bust. A black ruffled skirt fell in waves down to her knees and a ruby colored overskirt fell slightly above that, with the center cut out so you could see the black portion. She wore black mid-calf high flat boots and there was a black ribbon around each wrist. A corset style garment was wrapped around the girl's waist and it seemed like the back of her dress was…well…backless. From the neck to right where the corset style waist portion of the dress there was no material. There was a button on the back of the neck of the dress to hold it together. It would have been considered weird, but the reason why she didn't have a back to the dress was quite simple.
The ruby haired girl had pure, pristine, white angel wings.
The boy ran forward to catch the girl as she floated down, staring at her in awe. None of the girls he knew back on his home looked remotely like this. She was unique. When his hands made contact with her back, right underneath her wings, her weightlessness ceased to exist. She fell, but she wasn't heavy like the boy thought she would have been. Instead of dropping her, he gently lowered her to the ground, worried.
It could have been considered odd that the boy was worried over someone he didn't know, but for some reason…he felt like he had known this girl for a long time. He patted her cheeks, feeling his heart lift when her amber colored eyes fluttered open. They stared at each other for a few seconds before the brunette boy helped her up. Throughout the whole ordeal, neither of them said a word. The two of them stared at each other before they smiled, clasping hands as if they were old friends.
So much to do, so little time. A mysterious voice rang through the air. Take your time. Don't be afraid. The door is still shut. Now, step forward. Can you do it? The voice asked the two of them. The brunette boy took a step forward and the ruby haired girl followed, a look of apprehension falling across her face. She felt like something was going to happen.
Suddenly, a triangle of stone pillars appeared. One had a sword upon it, another a staff, and the last had a shield. This reminded the girl of her own weapon. The brunette boy turned as she summoned it. It was a long black rod with a floating silver light on the end. Several pieces of metal jutted out and intertwined on the end of the rod to encase the light. Two wings flared out on either side of the light and a small crown was engraved right below the light. It was the same as his necklace. The two of them smiled at each other again.
If you give it form…it will give you strength. Choose well. The mysterious voice said again. Looking back at the winged girl, the brunette came to a decision. He turned to face the three weapons and chose the shield.
The power of the Guardian. Kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel all. Is this the power you seek? The voice asked him. He looked back towards the winged girl once again and nodded his head yes.
Your path is set. The voice said as the shield disappeared from the brunette's arm. The winged girl came to stand next to the one who called her heart to him. Now, what will you give up in exchange?
The brunette frowned and looked between the sword and the small staff. It took little time for him to decide. He chose the sword.
The power of the Warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction. You give up this power? The boy nodded at the voice.
You've chosen the power of the Guardian. You've given up the power of the Warrior. Is this the form you choose? The voice wanted to confirm. The boy nodded once again and as he did so the triangle of stones disappeared. The floor shattered and the boy and winged girl fell through the shattered pieces.
The winged girl's pure white wings spread wide and she floated down towards the next platform, grabbing onto the brunette boy's outstretched hand. Both of them landed on a platform with a portrait of a woman named Cinderella. The winged girl spun her staff while a shield appeared on the brunette boy's arm.
You gained the power to fight. The voice said as the brunette boy swung the shield around on his arm. He attacked the air, secretly eying the winged girl out of the corner of his eye.
Alright! You've got it. Use this power to protect yourself and others…and Guardian Angel, protect the one who bears the key. The winged girl was about to respond, but, suddenly, shadows appeared on the ground.
There will be times where you will have to fight. Depend on your Guardian Angel and keep your light burning strong. The voice advised. The brunette boy fought off the group of shadows while the winged girl hovered above him, making sure that he was safe. When the last one was dealt with, more appeared. Before the winged girl could say anything, however, the mysterious voice warned the brunette boy of the attack.
Behind you! It warned. Together the two warriors fought and defeated all of the shadows. Then, the dark void appeared and the brunette was sucked in. The winged girl gasped, diving into the pool of shadows after the boy. Both of them found themselves standing on another circular floor with multiple colors. The brunette boy approached the door, but found it to be un-openable.
The winged girl was by his side in an instant, pointing to a treasure chest looking box. The brunette boy smiled his thanks and opened it. Then, a large crate appeared. Shrugging, the boy smashed it. A barrel appeared and the boy smashed it as well to the amusement of the winged girl. She flexed her wings, feeling that something was approaching. Both of them went through the opened door. On the other side, three people – Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie – were waiting for them.
Hold on. The door won't open just yet. First, tell me more about yourselves.
The two of them talked to Tidus and revealed that the boy was afraid of getting old and the winged girl was afraid of letting the one with the key down. The two of them talked to Wakka and revealed that the boy wanted to see rare sights while the winged girl wanted to be useful. Then, the two of them talked to Selphie and revealed that the boy wanted to be number one while the winged girl revealed that the safety of the one with the key was most important to her.
You're afraid of getting old and letting the key-bearer down. You want to see rare sights and to be useful. You want to be number one and the safety of the key-bearer is most important to you. The mysterious voice recited back. Your adventure begins at dawn. As long as you rely on each other and the sun is shining, your journey should be a pleasant one.
Both of the teenagers smiled at this news.
The day you will open the door is both far off and very near.
Suddenly, both the boy and winged girl appeared on a platform with a portrait of Aurora. The winged girl follows him closely. The two of them approach the light and a group of shadows appear. The two manage to defeat the shadows and they approached a very warm circle of light. They rested comfortably in the circle for a few moments, the boy taking the time to lightly trace his fingers over the girl's wings. She chuckles and plucks a feather for him to keep. He grins, placing it into the pocket of his pants.
They eventually ascended the stars to the next area.
The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes.
And then the boy's shadow turned into a mighty shadow-beast. The name 'Darkside' entered their minds and the two of them prepared to fight.
But don't be afraid. And don't forget…
The boy almost fell off of the platform and the two of them worked together to defeat the mighty shadow-beast. Suddenly, the boy was knocked off his feet. As the winged girl covered him with her own body, wings protectively flared out, she was yanked up and squeezed in the Darkside's massive hand.
But don't be afraid. You hold the mightiest weapon of all.
The boy cried out for the winged girl as she was being injured, but there was nothing he could do to help her. As he was being engulfed in a circle of black shadows, he finally learned her name.
So don't forget: you are the one who will open the door…
And Freya is the one who will protect you.
