Prologue- The Dream(Into the Heart)

It felt like sinking, but I was falling. My friend, Sora, was falling, too. I saw the sunset and then hit the water, but neither of us slowed in speed. We kept falling, deeper and faster. We started to slow down, turning around, flipping from head-first to feet-first, and landed on a black floor. We looked at each other, and then looked around. Sora took a step, and the floor transformed. What was once the surface of the floor turned into white doves that flew all around us, revealing a green colored platform. We watched the birds fly off. I looked down at the floor. On the platform was a picture of a woman wearing a blue, red, and yellow dress. She had short, curly black hair and was biting into an apple.

"So much to do, so little time," a voice called out.

Huh? Who said that? I wondered. Sora and I looked around, trying to figure out who said that.

"Step up to the light. Can you do it?"

Of course I can, I thought. We both slowly walked up to the light, not knowing what to expect. Once we made it to the right spot, three small pedestals appeared one by one. As each one appeared, a different item appeared as well as a different saying from the anonymous voice calling out from above us.

"Power sleeps within you…" A staff with a rounded-ear top appeared. "But if you give it form…" A shield appeared next. "It will give you strength." Then a sword appeared, the light shining off the blade. "Choose wisely."

I have to choose? I thought. Okay then. I walked around and looked at each one. Hmm…but which one? After a while, I chose the sword—Sora chose the same. After giving up the shield, the platforms disappeared into the floor. This caused the floor to break beneath our feet, and we fell into the darkness below.

As Sora and I fell, another platform appeared out of the darkness. This time, it was blue. On the platform was a picture of a woman with blonde hair, wearing a blue dress. She had her hair up in a bun. Behind her was a faded blue castle. We landed on the platform very agilely. Once we landed, the weapons of our choice were summoned by our own hands. Sora's looked just like the sword we both chose on the platform above, but mine looked different. Instead, it was shaped like a key. Huh? What is this? A key? I wondered. I looked at Sora and he looked just as puzzled as me. The voice once again called out to us.

"You have gained the right to fight!" it said.

Fight what? I wondered. I looked at the weapon in my hand and then took my fighting stance, as if I were play sword-fighting with Sora and our friend, Riku. Then I swung at the air.

"Alright! You got it!" Got what? I wondered. All I did was swing. Then the voice spoke again. "There will be times when you have to fight." As it spoke, a strange creature appeared from the ground and ran around, stalking us. It lunged at us to attack, and we attacked back. As soon as that happened, and the creature was gone, more appeared, and we were surrounded. The voice said, "Keep your light burning strong." We fought hard, until all of the creatures were gone. All of a sudden, black spots covered the platform. I had a strange feeling come over me. Something isn't right. And why does this feel so familiar? They covered the entire floor, and engulfed us.

We were surrounded by darkness. I struggled and struggled until I opened my eyes and gasped for air. I was on another platform. I noticed that this time, there were three outlines of princesses. I got up and saw Sora struggling on the other side. I walked over to wake him up, but he beat me to the punch. He saw that the darkness was gone, and got up. Sora had a confused look on his faced. I turned around and noticed that there was a door that appeared on the opposite side of us. A light was shining on it, and we walked over to it. Sora moved to open the door, but his hand passed through. He looked at me, but I only shrugged. We turned away from the door. Another light appeared, and within it, a barrel popped out of nowhere.

Well, that's random, I thought. Why is there a barrel here? Sora smashed the barrel, and the border of the door fabricated. Huh? That's weird. A huge box appeared then, and I smashed it to pieces. An item, a potion at that, was all that was left of the box. I picked it up and put it in my pocket. The rest of the door became one solid piece, and then we opened it. A bright light shone, and we walked through, hesitantly.

As we walked through the door, we saw that we were at our home, our island. Thank goodness, I thought, feeling relieved. We're home. My heart skipped a beat when I saw our friends Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie, but was suddenly disappointed when the voice called out again. Aw man!

"The door has not opened. First, tell me about yourselves." What is that suppose to mean? I walked up to Tidus first, with Sora close behind, to see what was going on. Before I could say anything, he asked us, "What are you afraid of?" I looked at Sora; he seemed just as confused as me, but looked as though he were actually trying to come up with an answer. I was as well. What am I afraid of…hmm. Then I looked at Tidus, and said that I was afraid of getting old. I was startled, because when I said that, I thought it echoed. I looked at Sora and he looked at me—we apparently said the same thing. "Getting old?" wondered Tidus. "Is that really so scary?" We walked up to Selphie and then Wakka. Both asked us questions and we both gave them answers. The voice, which appeared to hear and see everything we said and did, called out once again. "You're afraid of getting old. You value friendship. You want to see rare sights. Is this the path you choose?" Of course I do, I thought. The voice spoke again. "The day you open the door is both far off and very near."

A light shone bright, and we appeared on yet another platform. On this platform, I saw a picture of a girl with long, golden locks wearing a crown and a long-sleeved pink gown. She appeared to be asleep. She was holding a rose, and was surrounded by thorns. She looks…familiar, I thought. Sora and I walked to the center of the platform. As we did, more creatures appeared and we fought them off. Once they were gone, a staircase of much smaller platforms appeared, one by one, leading up to another platform. Will this ever end? I wondered, desperate to get out. I looked at Sora, we both nodded, and we ran up the staircase to the next platform. When we got up there, I noticed that the girl on this platform was wearing a yellow gown, and had brown curly hair that was half up in a bun and the rest was in a ponytail. Another light shone through the darkness, and we slowly walked up to it. The voice spoke once again.

"The closer you are to the light, the bigger your shadow becomes." As we turned around to look at our shadows, we saw that they became one, popped out of the floor and took shape. We backed away slowly, the combined shadow taking the form of a giant black creature like the ones we had seen before. We backed away even more, and the voice continued to speak.

"But don't be afraid…and don't give up." We turned to run, and nearly fell off the platform we were on. We turned around to face the enormous creature, raised our weapons to it, and fought it. Several hits to the hands and three blows to the head later, the creature fell. But, it didn't seem to want to go down without taking us with it. We jumped out of the way as it started to fall. Our weapons disappeared and we fell down. As the creature was disappearing and covering the top of the platform with darkness, we heard the voice call out to us.

"Don't be afraid." it said. We struggled and struggled to get out of the darkness.

"You two hold the mightiest weapons of all." We kept struggling.

"And don't forget—" We had become completely engulfed by the creature. The last thing we heard was—

"You both will be the ones who will open the door."
