Kingdom Hearts: Legacy
Chapter 1: Introduction
How long has it been since I abandoned my home for the life of a Keyblade Wielder? How long has it been since my world, America, was consumed by darkness? Has it been five years? Probably, it is difficult to tell time here in the Land of Departure. I was standing on a hilltop outside the castle contemplating this when I heard someone call my name.
"David!"
I turned around and saw it was my younger brother, Christopher, waving his hand as he was running toward me. My name is David. I am 16 years old with short brown hair, hazel eyes, light skin, and copper glasses. My height is probably 5'6" but, who cares how tall I am? Christopher is 13 years old with short dirty-blonde hair, blue eyes, and also light skin. My brother is 4 inches shorter than me but, who wants to know?
"What's up, Chris?"
"I've been looking everywhere for you. I went to your room to wake you up but, you weren't there so I went to the Dining Hall, then the Kitchen, and then the Training Room but you weren't there either."
"Oh, sorry I worried you, bro."
You see, a year ago, when I wasn't sleeping; I was either eating or training.
"Are you thinking about home again?" Chris asked.
"Yeah." I replied.
"It's been five years since the incident, David."
"Has it? It's hard to tell here."
I was 11 years old when the Heartless invaded America and Chris was only 8. I was so scared when I saw them appear out of the shadows with their cold, lifeless, yellow eyes fixed on us. Everywhere we looked, people were being turned into Heartless. Sometimes we saw white creatures appear after the Heartless. Everything was absolute chaos until a bright light appeared right in front of us and transported us to Traverse Town. There, we met up with two of our American friends, Thomas and Claire. Claire is the same age as me and Thomas one year older than Chris. Let's get one thing straight: we all have light skin. Claire has dark brown hair that reaches down to the middle of her back and brown eyes. She is also ½ an inch shorter than me (don't tell her I said that). Thomas is 1 inch shorter than Chris. He has shoulder length blonde hair and brown eyes. While we were at Traverse Town, we rented some rooms in the 2nd District Hotel and stayed there for two weeks. We met some really nice people named Leon, Yuffie, Aerith, and Cid. Leon was very dark and mysterious most of the time, Yuffie was talking about how she would one day become a great ninja master, Aerith wanted to run a flower shop but didn't have the money to do so, and Cid was running a Gummi Ship Shop (I had no idea what a Gummi Ship was). It was around the 10th day we were there that the Heartless started showing up again. It was also the day we found out that we could use Keyblades. Upon learning this, Leon arranged for Cid to build us a Gummi Ship so we could go see a powerful sorcerer and former Keyblade Master named Yen Sid. When we got to the Mysterious Tower, Yen Sid gave us a warm welcome. He knew we were coming and that we were Keyblade Wielders. He taught us how to use our Keyblades and our magic. He also took care of use while we were there. We stayed at the Mysterious Tower for five months and when Master Yen Sid decided that we were ready, he sent us off to the Land of Departure. This Land of Departure isn't the same one that Master Eraqus created. This one was created by Master Yen Sid just for us. It was empty when we first came here but, since this place ran on magic there was an endless supply of food and clothing for us. Master Yen Sid checks on us every now and then but besides that, no parents equals no rules equals whatever we want. Although, after the invasion and destruction of our home we became more mature, more responsible, and more focused on our training to become great Keyblade Masters. I promise you, the Heartless will pay for what they did.
"Next time, you should probably get dressed before you go outside." Chris said.
I looked down and realized that I was still in my pajamas.
"Oops. I guess I was so deep in thought that I forgot to put on my regular clothes." I said with a guilty smile.
We went back to the castle and up to our rooms. I opened my closet on put on my usual attire: black sneakers with silver outlines, light blue jeans, a blue long sleeves shirt, and a black hoodie. I got to the Dining Hall and spotted Claire immediately with that bright green shirt she likes. She was also wearing dark blue jeans and white sneakers. Thomas I saw with his dark red short sleeves shirt, black sneakers, and black baggy jeans. Claire had her hair in a ponytail while she was eating. Claire is a smart and friendly girl who loved to go on adventures. As for Thomas, he may be younger than Claire and I and a little bit shorter than Chris but, he was strongest one out of all of us. He was also serious and fun loving at the same time. And finally there's Chris. There are numerous ways people describe him: annoying, a goofball, doesn't know when to shut his yap. But I think, even though Chris usually gets on my nerves, he is still my little brother and I wouldn't trade him for anything else in the universe. Chris entered the Dining Hall after I did. He was wearing his short sleeves shirt that had the face of a tiger surrounded by fire with two swords crossed behind it. He also wore a pair of black jeans. I thought that since I hadn't cooked in a while, I would make some pancakes.
"I'm going to make pancakes, you guys want any?" I asked.
"Yeah." Chris said.
"Sure." Tom replied.
"Sounds good." Claire said.
As I went into the Kitchen, I had a feeling that today was not going to be an ordinary day for us in the Land of Departure.
