Prologue
Awakening
[Veritas]
I opened my eyes to see pure darkness. I was falling towards an endless abyss. 'Where...am I?' I thought. I managed to straighten myself out so I was falling feet first. After a couple minutes, I landed on an invisible surface. Suddenly, the darkness under me transformed into white butterflies that flew up to the sky, revealing a large, circular, mosaic, luminous platform with a portrait of me in a sleep-like state on it.
"Hello?….Kasumi?…..Luna….?" I called out. It was quiet for a couple seconds until a mysterious voice replied. "So much to do...so little time…" it said. "Who are you?" I asked. "All will be answered soon chosen one." it said. 'Chosen one?' I thought. "However, I want you to answer a few questions. Is that okay?" the voice asked. "I guess so…" I said.
As I said that, an illusion of a person appeared before me. It was a boy in his teens with slicked back white hair with glasses over his amber eyes. He had a black jacket on over a purple shirt. He had on black jeans and black sneakers. "This boy, do you know him?" the voice asked. "Yeah of course. That's my best friend Kasumi Highwind. We've been friends ever since elementary school." I said. "And how would you describe him?" the voice then asked. "He's cool and collected most of the time. He's does give off a tough guy act, but deep down, he's super caring." I said. "Interesting…" the voice said.
The Kasumi illusion disappeared and another illusion appeared in front of me. This time, it was of a girl in her teens with purple hair pulled back in a ponytail and purple eyes. She wore a green jacket over a white tank top. She wore black leggings with tan shorts over it with black boots. "Now do you know this girl?" the voice asked. "Sure do. That's Luna Thalassa, she's been my neighbor and best friend since we were babies." I said. "And what's her personality?" said the voice. "She's one of the nicest people I know. She's always trying to make people smile." I said. "I see…" the voice said.
That illusion, like the one before it, disappeared to be replaced with another illusion. This one was of a boy in his teens as well with medium long, spiky, brown hair with jade green eyes. He wore a black hoodie over a red t-shirt with jeans and high top sneakers. He also had on goggles and a chain necklace with a crown charm on it. "This is the final illusion. Who is this and tell me about him." the voice said. "What kind of question is that? That's me, Veritas Keyheart. The only way to describe myself is that I would do anything to help out a friend." I said. "Hmm, very charitable of you…" the voice said.
Suddenly, the mosaic platform shattered and I began to fall. I looked to see I was falling towards another mosaic platform with a picture of an evil looking heart on it. I was slowed down by a large gust of wind. I then landed on it. Suddenly, stone pillars rose from the ground and a weapon appeared on each one. They were: a sword with a red handle, a green shield, and a blue staff. "Power sleeps within you. Once you give it form, it will give it strength. Choose wisely." the voice said. I walked around and picked up the sword. "The power of the Warrior. A sword of terrible destruction. Is this the power you seek?" the voice asked. I nodded. "Yes." I said. The sword then disappeared in a bright flash. "Now what power do you give in exchange?" the voice asked. I walked over to the shield and grabbed it. "The power of the Guardian. Kindness to aid friends. Do you want to give up this power?" the voice asked. "N-No, I'll choose again." I said, putting the shield back. I went over to the staff and grabbed it. "The power of the Mystic. A staff of wonder and ruin. Do you give this power up?" the voice asked. "Yes." I said. the staff then disappeared along with the shield. "Your path is set." the voice said.
The pillars then went back into the ground. The sword then reappeared back in my left hand. "You have gained the power to fight. Go ahead, swing it around." it said. I then grabbed the sword with both hands and began swinging it around in slashing motions. "There you go. You got it. Use this power not only to protect yourself, but others as well." the voice said. Just then, black creatures with yellow eyes rose up from the ground and surrounded me. "There will be times when you need to fight. Be sure to keep your light burning strong." the voice said.
I held the sword with both hands somewhat away from the left side of my body. I then ran at the creature and slashed left at one, vanquishing it. I stabbed another, slapped it away and slashed right as hard as I could on the one behind it, vanquishing both. The rest of the creatures then went back into the ground and disappeared. "Well done. Although your movement with your sword is a bit...clunky." the voice said. "Hey!" I shouted. A mosaic stairway appeared next to the platform that lead to a another platform in the distance. I walked along it to the other platform, which portrayed a large blue heart on it. In the middle of the platform was treasure chest.
"Oh cool!" I exclaimed as I ran to it. I got next to it and tried opening it, but it wouldn't budge. "Oh, come on!" I said. I stood back up and smacked it with my sword. The chest then sprung open. 'That works too.' I thought. I looked inside and saw a bottle of a turquoise green liquid next to a gold amulet with blue orb in it. I picked both up. "Drink the liquid. It will help you." the voice said. I was hesitant at first but decided to drink it. The liquid had a minty flavor to it. Once I drank all of it, I felt rejuvenated.
A door then appeared in front of me. I walked towards it and opened it. I was greeted to a bright light. "Remember: the closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes. But don't be afraid, you hold the mightiest weapon of all. and don't forget that you're the only one who can open the door in the future." the voice said. I began to be enveloped in light. "Wait, what's your name?" I asked. "All will be revealed soon. Good luck chosen one." the voice said as I was blinded by the bright light.
