Kingdom Hearts
A New Era
Darkness. All I can see is the overwhelming black of nothingness. I become frightened from the thought of not being alive anymore, but that is soon put into question when I see something sparkle as I continue to fall down into the abyss. As I approach I recognize the platform as glass. My small body adjusts itself to its feet as I drop onto the platform. I don't understand this, last I knew I was asleep. I'm dreaming, I have to be. I gaze upon the platform that stands on. Its picture is enlarged so I have to step back to see the entire thing. Wait a minute, it can't be, is that….me. I immediately recognized the face as my own. 'Vanny it's your time now,' I jumped at the sudden intrusion of my head "W-Who are you?!" I exclaimed. 'That is of no importance. What is important is that you must choose your path.' It said in an echo-like tone.
"What?" I said in response to the bizarre answer. 'You are hope, courage, and light bundled all in one vessel and it is your duty to venture into the darkest of places to vanquish that evil.' It explained. A bright light flashed and before I knew it something was holding my arm down. I looked down to see a key-shaped sword in my hand. The handle of the sword was shaped in the form of a star with a long blade emanating from it. The blade had a bright white aura radiating from it. 'Take up the light in your hands and destroy any evil that comes towards you.' It said right before two portals appeared to my left and right.
Two familiar faces appeared from behind them both. The two faces wore their usual smirks but I was still frightened. Vincent and Genesis, my brothers.
"Vince, Gen what are you guys doing here?" I questioned. 'These are not the brothers you know and love. These are the brothers you will soon come to know their hearts are shrouded in darkness and envy.'
"Envy for who, me, what for?" I asked confused. Vincent and Genesis spoke in alternating speech.
"You always had everything, you always were the cutest, the most loved, we've grown tired of caring for you ever since our parents died." They said. "Now raise your keyblade."
"Fine," I seethed with anger as I raised the keyblade, as it is now called.
My brothers lunged at me with weapons of their own. I swung the heavy weapon as they simultaneously did the same. The connection of swords ended in a bright flash of light and I awoke. I was cuddled deep in my brother's Vincent's warmth. I breathed hard as I was snatched away from the disturbing nightmare.
