2. ANY AND ALL criticism is accepted, I like to learn from my mistakes. Please review and Enjoy.
The sound of fighting could be heard through the darkness of the night, the light of the blue moon barely touched the snow that covered the broken path which crept towards a shadowy temple. Metal rang together and three voices cried out in pain as the darkness faded to show a scene of chaos and despair. Three teenaged boys lay on the ground with looks of pain in their eyes as another figure emerged from the darkness; this new stranger was taller than three and wore a deep purple and grey jacket that just barely covered the black boots of the stranger. The stranger's face and hair was covered by the hood of the jacket but a few crimson locks of hair escaped the darkness of the hood. The tallest of the three rose to his feet and raised a metallic blue blade that convulsed with magic and the blade was dominated by four diamond shaped 'teeth' that sprouted from the weapon. The hilt was silver with a bright blue diamond pendant dangling from the back of the hilt, the weapon was a KeyBlade and the teenager was its master, the only one who could use it. A small laugh escaped from the stranger who raised both their hands and with a flash of light the stranger summoned two twin KeyBlades. The teenager charged at the stranger, swiping wildly as he forced the stranger back with a serious of blows that were not only blocked but seemed to be easily predicted by the stranger. The teenager let out a loud grown as the stranger stopped the KeyBlade with a block from one of their KeyBlades and counter attacked with the other sending the teenager spiralling back to ground with a loud thud. The stranger sighed as the two KeyBlades vanished into light and as darkness began to cloud the image again the stranger spoke with a low, shadowy voice that made all the teenaged boys go wide eyed with looks of fear:
"You all were never destined to open the door, you were destined to harvest the hearts and vanquish the forgotten to make ready for his return for you see my friends, it is me who will open the door to kingdom hearts" as the last words escaped the strangers mouth the darkness took over the scene and with one final unified scream of pain the teenagers fell silent, the fight was over.
Valkyrie woke in her bed breathing heavily with sweat dripping from her face as she regained her sense of her surroundings. She was still in her large grand chambers of Hollow Bastion with her bed sheets and pillows ripped open or on the floor. Her eyes scanned the room that was illuminated with a white glow from the silver moon outside her window and she could clearly see nothing was broken or missing but that still made her uneasy. She was startled when she heard loud banging on the large double doors of her chamber and she heard multiple voices calling to her in panic.
"Don't worry everyone I'm fine, go back to sleep that means you to Epsilon, Nova and Silver" she called out to her apprentices and smiled as she heard moans of young children complaining about not being tired and the noble voice of Nova who guided them to their rooms. Valkyrie rested back in her bed and felt sleep grasping her once again, she let out a yawn but was startled by a gentle knock on her door.
"Who is it?" She called out as she rose from her bed and walked to the doors, her black night gown stopped at her ankles and her bare feet made tiny taps on the wooden floor boards. She placed one hand on the black door handle and placed her ear on the cold oak door to listening for any noise, her other hand sat ready at her side to summon her KeyBlade in case there was any sign of danger.
"It's Epsilon, I was worried about you because you sounded really scared when you told us to leave; I had to pull rank on Nova to convince him to leave. Can you open the door please?" Epsilon's gentle voice filled Valkyrie's ears and with a smile she opened the door for her favourite apprentice. Epsilon was standing in the large hallway in his regular training uniform and he had a face of worry as he looked at his older master. Epsilon was small for a sixteen year old bur what he lacked in size he made up for in bravery and skill with a blade. With a friendly smile she let Epsilon into her room and the teenager sat on the edge of her bed with his hands in his lap.
"You had that same dream again didn't you?" Epsilon asked with a soft voice as she sat down next to him and slowly nodded.
"The exact same dream only this one was more detailed, I saw the same three boys fighting a stranger who could use two KeyBlades only this time the stranger spoke but not with words but with the darkness itself. She mentioned something about Kingdom Hearts and vanquishing the forgotten before the darkness took over and I woke up" Valkyrie ended with a glance out to the moon and felt its heatless light cover her face. What a beautiful night she thought as she almost forgot she still had a visitor. Epsilon rose from the bed and paced from the door back to bed three times before looking out to the moon and sighed.
"If only we knew what it means or if it means anything at all, I have to go before Nova gets worried about me again but I'll talk to you about it tomorrow after training okay Val?" It was common for Epsilon to use Valkyrie's nickname when they were alone but this time it sounded different then when he usually said with a smile and cheeky tone. No this time it was serious and full of worry and something more…anger? Valkyrie watched as Epsilon vanished back out the doors and felt alone again as the moon was blocked by clouds and the light vanished from her room. She lay in her bed with her hands on her stomach and thought deeply about the voice in the dream. She swore she had heard it before as she tried to remember, Valkyrie felt sleep wash over he again and let herself fade back into sleep, back into dreams that weren't her own.
Epsilon entered his room with a groan and noticed Nova wasn't lying in his bed but instead a fake replica of his head had been placed on his pillow instead. Epsilon punched the bulge were Nova's stomach would be but only felt more fabric on his knuckles. He shook his head and lowered himself onto his bed and looked at the ceiling with a small grin appearing on his face as he began to count down from ten. As he hit five he could hear frantic fumbling with the door handle and as he hit zero the large door swung open and Nova burst in with sweat running down his face and as he realised Epsilon was on his bed his face went red with embarrassment.
"So how was your night with Silver? Did she do anything special for you tonight?" Epsilon said this with a small laugh that made Nova smile as he stripped out of his shirt and laid faced down on his bed facing Epsilon who awaited his reply.
"No she didn't she just offered me good luck on my Mark of Mastery Exam tomorrow that's all and by the way we are not together any way Epsilon so dropped the cheeky smile before I show you what happens to nosy children" Nova said this with a yawn at the end and Epsilon closed his eyes and clicked his tongue before falling asleep. He dreamed of fighting against Heartless and Nobodies with his golden KeyBlade and saving hundreds of worlds from chaos before becoming a Grand Master of KeyBlade before retiring and becoming a teacher here at Hollow Bastion.
