Prologue
Darkness…
Total complete darkness…
A young man with blond spiky hair in a dark grey, unzipped, short-sleeved jacket that reaches to his thighs over a black collarless shirt, blue baggy jeans that reaches his shins, red intersecting belts around his waist (could be mistaken for straps on a pair of overalls) a black wristband on his right wrist and black shoes is falling in what looked like an ocean and in a trance-like state, falling deeper into the dark abyss…
Where was he going? Why was he falling? Better yet, why was he falling to begin with? What is the meaning of this? He can't be drowning. He's not showing any signs of struggle, that's for sure.
He slightly opened his steel, grey eyes and noticed a small white light down below…
And it kept getting closer and closer…
As he came closer, he took notice of the details. It looked like very beautiful white stained-glass window. There are some of blues and light shades of purple. Near the edge of the "window", looked like an unusual fleur-de-lis symbols around it. At the center, is a large heart of what looks like, a silhouette of a young woman, about the same age as he is in a side profile. One detail he could tell about this girl is that she has long hair, tied in a ponytail.
He then finds himself upright and lands on the podium. He inspected his surroundings and then took notice of the woman in the giant heart. He placed his fingers on his chin, thinking of something. He can't help but get the feeling like he knows her…personally…
But before he could figure out, a flight of stairs appeared near the edge of the platform. Where did those stairs lead? It sure beats being stuck here… So he went down the steps…
He kept walking down the darkness… he had no idea where he was going…
He finally reached the end… but there was nothing. But it didn't matter to him, so he kept walking. Despite nothing under him, the ground is actually solid. He kept walking. About halfway, when he made another step, something… weird happened…
The ground somehow came to life with a flock of hundreds of doves. Little by little, the ground beneath his feet reveals to a beautiful, green stain-glassed platform, depicting a young, snow-white (no pun intended) skinned woman with jet-black hair with a red headband, a blue blouse, a yellow dress and shoes, and she's holding an apple that has been bitten. What's more is that there are other images in the back round. Surrounding this girl are seven dwarves with only one of them beardless, so it can be assumed he's the youngest of the group. Near the edge of the platform are forest animals consisting of squirrels, raccoons, rabbits, turtles, and birds. What's probably disturbing is what's beneath the woman's feet; it shows a haggard old woman with a long nose, wearing a hooded cloak… talk about creepy…
He continues to watch the doves fly away into from the platform and into the darkness…
He stays in place and checks his surroundings and then hears an unknown voice.
So much to do, so little time… Take your time. Don't be afraid.
He quickly looked to the source of the mysterious voice, but there's no sign…where did it come from?
A beam of light radiated at the center of the platform.
The door is still shut. Now step forward. Can you do it?
He hesitantly walked towards the center and when he did, three smaller platforms rose from the ground around the edge. Then, three weapons appeared, a sword, a shield, and a staff. All three shared one thing in common; they all have a strange 3-circled insignia that resembles a mouse…
Power sleeps within you. If you give it form… it will give you strength. Choose well.
He decided go for the staff. When he held it, he felt a strange surge. He more smarter… wiser…
The power of the mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin.
Is this the power you seek?
He shook his head and the staff returned to its original position.
He tried the shield and this time, he had a strong desire to protect and felt kinder…
The power of the guardian. Kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel all.
Is this the power you seek?
He shook his and the shield returned to its original position.
His only option left is the sword…
When he grabbed it, he felt stronger… braver…
The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction.
Is this the power you seek?
…
…
He gave the sword a twirl and nodded at the sky. The sword vanished, taking him by surprise.
Your path is set.
You have chosen the power of the warrior. Is this the form you choose?
He nodded again.
All of a sudden, the platforms that held the weapons sunk into the ground and the platform started to break apart!
He had nowhere to run and he began falling into the darkness again...
It felt like forever and he caught a glimpse of another platform. This one was violet. In it, is a girl with blonde hair tied in a bun wearing a white dress with long white gloves that went past her elbows. Around her head were pictures showing parts of a castle, a horse and a carriage. Near the edge were couples dancing and fancy glass slippers.
As he got closer and closer, his body went upright and softly landed on his feet.
Suddenly, the sword appeared in his hand.
You've gained the power to fight.
He took the opportunity to practice with it. He used swift, one-handed strikes. To him, it felt natural using it—like he used it for years…
All right! You've got it.
The young man couldn't help but smile from the praise.
Use this power to protect yourself and others.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed strange, black blobs that somehow popped out like 3D. These creatures are very unusual looking… they had stubby legs, pointy feet, claws, a round head with two antennae, and the most frightening feature is the glowing yellow eyes.
There will be times you have to fight. Keep your light burning strong.
He quickly put on brave face and charged towards the closest one. As he ran, he quickly twirled his sword in a reverse grip and slashed through it, obliterating it.
The shadows seemingly vanished into the ground, but the young man kept his stance in case they came back. He walked cautiously, waiting for the enemy to reappear. What he didn't see is that a shadow loomed behind him and popped up, ready to strike him.
Behind you!
He turned his head sharply and noticed the creature lunging at him. He dodged quickly, held his sword in a normal grip and jamming it in the back, slashing it upward.
Soon more of them popped up and attack. He attacked them with not much difficulty (He had some scratches on him) and only one was left.
Before he had the chance to attack, the shadow sunk into a dark puddle and disappeared. Soon the platform was covered in puddles…
He found himself surrounded by the puddles. Unfortunately, he took a step backward and the puddle sucked him in like quicksand and everything went black…
He found himself face down and got back up on his feet, standing on another platform. This one was pink and it had 3 big hearts, each with a silhouette of a girl—a bit similar to the first platform. He turned his attention to a door that was clear like glass.
He walked to it and tried to open it, but his hand phased right through it like nothing was there at all…
He scratched his head in confusion. How is he going get through this one?
He turned to see a treasure chest appearing out of nowhere. He walked toward it and tapped it opened… but there was nothing inside. Come on! A treasure chest is supposed to have something inside…
He sighed in disappointment, but a large crate appeared and decided to bust it down. When he did, the rim of the door turned solid.
Then a barrel appeared and destroyed it, too. When that happened, the rest of the door became solid.
He walked to it and pulled it. The piercing light blinded him for a second, but nonetheless he walked into the light…
When the light cleared, he found himself in a Venetian, costal city with rivers and canals
He walked around the streets like he knew which way he would go. He walked towards a fence nearby the water with a contemplating look as he leaned toward it.
Your journey begins in the dead of night… The road will not be easy, but a rising sun awaits you at the end of your path.
Everything suddenly went white…
He found himself back in the dark area, standing on a red platform. This one had a woman with long, wavy blonde hair and a tiara, in a blue dress holding a rose. Around her head were three images of what looked like fairies. Surrounding her body were thorns and near the edge were more roses.
A beam of light shined near her head and he walked towards. Suddenly, more shadows appeared and he summoned his sword. He's now completely surrounded…
He fought fast and swift with these monsters. He suffered a few scratches, but otherwise, he's okay.
The same beam of light intensified; so much that a small green light appeared. He walked into it and instantly felt all of the pain from the battle disappear, restoring his wounds in the process.
Then a light crept near the edge of the platform and created a similar flight of stairs—this time going up.
As before, he kept moving forward. This one was yellow and the woman on it had a ball gown with brown hair. On top of here was a clock, candelabra, a teapot, and a cup and on the very top is a rose in a glass dome. Behind her is a beast with horns and fangs. A very bright light shined and he walked to it.
The beam of light was shining very brightly and decided to examine it.
The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes.
He quirked an eyebrow and turned to see his…unusually long shadow.
What happened next is perhaps the most surprising…his own shadow came to life and slowly changed into a giant, muscular brute with short legs, wavy black hair, and small wings on its back. It had the same glowing yellow eyes, and on its stomach is an outline of a heart.
He took every step backward in a mix of awe and horror to take in the monstrous appearance…
But don't be afraid. And don't forget…
It wasn't until he had taken a step close to the edge, he realized that the option is to fight it and take it down.
The giant started by charging its hand in an eerie light, launched it back and slammed it into the ground. That gave him the chance to strike back; however there was a dark pool under its fist and out came more of the shadows.
He just ignored them and kept slashing the hand.
Soon its arms were wrapped around its stomach and in the heart out came what looked like missiles and fired at him. He used his sword to deflect it and sent it back at its head.
It charged its hand again and slammed it into the ground. It was then that I had to end this. He ran up its arm, jumped and gave one last slash to the head.
He landed on his feet and his sword instantly vanished, to his surprise.
To make things worse, the giant made a last ditch move and slammed its fists to crush him, but he managed to dodge the blows. Unfortunately, the aftershock caused him to trip.
What could get worse? As soon as his knees hit the ground, a dark pool suddenly appeared under him and he couldn't get out. The giant simply stared at him with its yellow eyes…
—But don't be afraid…
Darkness covered his leg…
You hold one of the mightiest weapons of all…
He continued to struggle, to no avail…
So don't forget:
Not wanting to see his own demise, he shut his eyes tight and just simply waited for his end as the darkness completely engulfed him…

You will follow the one… who will open the door.
