Chapter 1: And So it Begins

They say that every heart has a story, well, mine's no different. I have been through many trials over the years ever since that day, the day I lost everything I held dear to my heart. It has been a long time since I remember being happy. But all that I feel right now is despair and loneliness.

But I think in order to see everything in my sight, then maybe I should start from the beginning. This is my beginning, my story, my life.

[Setting: A normal looking house, in the world of Radiant Garden]

It all started a few years ago when I was seven years old.

[We see a little child playing with some toys in the middle of his bedroom. The walls in the bedroom were blue and yellow with puffy white clouds scattered all around and over his bed is a picture of the sun, with its reddish orange color glowing off the sunlight from the window.]

(Boom, Bam, Choo-Choo)

[The kid had short brown hair, his eyes were the same color as the open sky: bright blue with the glow of light in them, he had a dark blue shirt with a picture of a cloud of it, his shorts were light blue, as the sea, and he had pure white shoes.]

That's me right there in the middle of that room. My name is Skylar, but everyone just calls me Sky for short. I had always dreamed about what kind of worlds were out there just waiting for me to explore.

[The door to the bedroom opens and standing in the doorway is a woman in her early 30's with long brunette hair and light blue eyes. She was wearing a blue dress with a white apron on over the dress.]

"Skylar, time for supper." The woman said.

"Okay Mom, just give me a second." I replied as she walked back to the kitchen.

I stopped playing with my toys and I put them away in the toy box. Then I walk out of my room heading for the dinner table. As I reached the dinner table, sitting on the other side of the table was my father, reading his paper. My father was the owner of one of the accessory shops in Radiant Garden. He had thinning brown hair with areas of white on the sides; his eyes were dark blue underneath his glasses. He was wearing his shop clothes which constricted of a tan shirt and light blue overalls along with his brown boots.

I walk over to the table and sit myself down, ready for my mother to serve us some supper. Our family didn't have too much because my father worked most of the time just to provide us with enough money to live on. But I didn't care how much we had because I knew that it was enough as long as I had my family, then that's all I needed. As I sat waiting for supper, my father peaked over his newspaper.

"So, Sky." My father said. "How was your day?"

"My day went fine." I said.

"That's good to hear. So, are you ready for school to start next week?"

"Yes, I am. I can't wait to see my friends again."

"And I bet they will feel the same."

"I sure hope so."

Before my father could give another word, my mother walked in with our supper: mashed potatoes with gravy on top and green beans on the side.

"Okay my boys, time for supper. Eat up." My mother said as she placed father's plate down in front of him, then she put down mine.

After I finished my plate, I asked to be excused from the table and I went back to my room, ready to play with my toys.

Shortly afterwards, it was time for bed. I brushed my teeth and put on my blue and white stripped pajamas. Then I walked to my window and looked up into the sky, looking at all the stars. My father told me that each star was a different world from the one that I knew. As I gazed up, I saw a strange figure walking outside my window in the lit street. This figure was heading towards the tall walls that protect the town from the outside world. I couldn't get a good view of the figure because the figure was wearing a long black cloak with his face covered.

As he was walking, a burst of darkness came from the ground and a portal filled with darkness opened in the plaza near my house. The figure stopped for a minute, stroking his chin, then the figure continued his walk and he walked into the portal before him. Then, as quick as it came, the portal disappeared as the figure went in. I paused for a moment, wondering who that mysterious figure could have been and where did they go. After a few moments, I came to realize that I was very tired and my mind was playing tricks on me. So, I went away from my window and got back into bed. Then, I went to sleep, ready for the next day.

[The next morning]

As the sun starts to rise through my window, I try to keep the light away by covering the blanket over my face so I can sleep in just a bit longer. After a few more minutes of sleeping, my mother came into the room.

"Skylar, it's time to wake up now." She said as she lifts the covers off my bed.

"Mom, please just five more minutes." I said.

But my mother wouldn't take no for an answer, so she opened the curtains on the window which shined all over my face, making me to cover my face with my hand. After a few seconds, I gave in and I slowly got up.

"Okay, okay, I'm up, Mom." I said as I rise from my bed and start to walk to my dresser.

"I knew you would get up with some encouragement." She said with a small chuckle under her breath.

"Yeah I know." I said as I grabbed my clothes off the dresser and start to walk to the bathroom to get ready for the day.

While I was getting ready, I was still thinking about the event that happened last night.

"Who was that man?" I thought to myself. "Where was he going? What was that thing he went into?"

These questions were still my head, but I quickly got them out of my head as I went into the kitchen to eat breakfast. Mother was still cooking up scrambled eggs and bacon while Dad was already gone to work. I sat myself down at my spot ready for my breakfast. After a few seconds, Mom came walking from the stove and she scrapped the scrambled eggs off the flying pan and placed the bacon next to the eggs.

"Here you go, Sky. Enjoy." She said.

"Thanks Mom." I said as I started to eat the scrambled eggs on my plate.

After I was finished, I rose up from my seat and I carried my plate along with my utensils over to the sink where Mom was doing the dishes. I placed them next to Mom and I started to walk back to my room.

"Now remember Sky." My mother said, "We are heading over to Mrs. Beaumont's house this afternoon."

"Okay Mom." I said as I head back into my room.

When I entered my room, I went to my toy box and I picked out my plane. Then I started to play with it by pretending it was a ship heading to different worlds, like it was a Gummi ship. But outside my window, without me noticing, some black-colored creatures were walking down the street and in the sky were two beams of light. Little did I know today was going to be the day that unofficially started my journey.
