Chapter 1
Just an (extra)-ordinary day

I didn't have that bad a life. Living on the outskirts of Walden in a modest bi-level home, with loving parents and a little bro, I dreamt of something more. There just has to be more than this world; there just has to be other life in our universe. And I'm going to be the one from my planet to find it. But for now, I'll just have to deal with being a six-foot tall, brown haired and eyed sixteen-year old, well on his way to being an author.

So, like any other weekday, I woke up promptly at four-thirty. I hung out on my computer for an hour, the light and games (particularly Minecraft) helped to wake me up. I went to my kitchen, poured some Cheerios into a bowl, and took a shower after I finished it. I headed out to my bus stop at the end of the street, dressed in my usual fashion for May; a solid colored tee, this time forest green, light khaki cargo shorts, and a pair of gray and black sneakers, worn from age. I was the only one there, like usual. I waited about ten minutes, got on the late bus, and attended school like any other kid.

Alright, this is where my life will change forever.

I got past science, although I don't know how, only to have to go to the mile run in gym. Again. I was absent for it the first time, and so was about half of the other teens (Kid Icarus: Uprising came out, and many people had a 3ds, you know where this is going.). I was halfway through it when things took a turn for the strange. A small creature, about two feet tall, materialized from nowhere in front of me. It had a large, circular head, two glowing yellow eyes, as well as a pair of antennae and a jagged smile. It was pitch black in color.

"Hey little guy. What are you, and where should you be?" I said as I held out a hand to it. It bit down on my flesh, hard. Blood was drawn, and most of the kids stopped running to see what happened. The creature made a small growl, and about fifty more of them appeared everywhere on the track. I ran towards a safe area, and turned to look back. It was chaos; people were screaming and running away, and several of them slumped to the ground, shortly after pink gems in the shape of hearts rose into the air out of them.

Okay, just what was going on? Several of them, about six, surrounded me. I punched and kicked out, but nothing seemed to hit them. It was early in the morning, the sun not being fully up, and it was hard to see their shadowy forms in all of the natural shadows on the ground. I could have sworn some of them were shadows, two-dimensional on the ground. I jumped the fence, and rummaged through my backpack, sine we left them outside the track instead of in the locker room today. I threw my notebooks and binders aside, until I found what I was looking for. It was a small utility flashlight, the kind that runs on watch batteries. I turned around, and shined the light in the face of one of the creatures. If they liked shadow, then I'll give them some light.

The thing staggered, but no signs of damage were on it. Quite suddenly, a larger light appeared on the field. The shadows, as I called them now, closest to the light evaporated into black smoke. Others were weakened, and sunk into the ground. The light shrank, and floated towards me. I couldn't move. It was the size of my fist, and it sank into my chest. A warm, fuzzy feeling enveloped me, consumed me. When I opened my eyes, in my left hand was a bow, no string was visible. It had yellow curves, and a brown handle. On my right arm was a silver vambrace, a golden key imprinted on it. Without thinking, I pulled back on the bow where the string should be. An arrow appeared, shaped like the key on the wrist guard. I let it loose, and it went straight through two of the creatures. They disappeared in puffs of smoke.

Soon, I had eliminated all of them, and the bow and wrist guard vanished in a flash of light. School was cancelled for the rest of the day due to damages, and so I hopped on the bus home.

That night, I lay awake in my bed, thinking about what happened. That bow… it had come to me and me alone. I guess I'll just have to think about it in the morning. I fell asleep, only to wake up several seconds later. I wasn't in my room. In fact, I wasn't anywhere I had seen before. Just a circular platform in the middle of a void.

(A/N: I've decided to take a break from my other story for a while, ever since this idea came to me. Please R&R, and take note of this fact: this story will never be finished. Ever. It's a continuing story, something to fall on when I have writer's block. The first part of this story takes place halfway through KH2, but then it can go anywhere, even to other videogame worlds, like Starfox, Halo, or even Legend of Zelda. Any world visited is not owned by me, except maybe one or two. Enjoy what you can of this, since updates to this story occur when others are slowing down.)
