Hi, Soul Reaper 2.0 here! To anyone who has read my older Kingdom Hearts story, Giver or Destroyer, just to let you know that I will not be updating that for awhile.
Don't be upset by this; I've created a new Kingdom Hearts story (see below). This will be awesome.
BTW, I don't own Kingdom Hearts or anything else. Just my OC's. First chapter is up! Enjoy!
Chapter 1: How you ever wondered?
On a rooftop of a house, two adults sat there staring at the starry night sky. One was a female with long black hair with wide and thick gold streaks which loosely ran down her back and over her shoulders, black eyes, around the age of 19. She had light brown skin with dark markings over her eyes. She wore a dark brown tank top, blue jeans and white sneakers with grey socks.
The other was a dark brown male around the age of 25 with black hair, dark brown eyes. He wore a plain white t-shirt with a red jacket, black track pants with white socks and black sneakers.
"It's such a wonderful night." The male said as he stared at the full moon. "It's nice to get out and sit under the stars. He put his hands behind his head and lay back on the roof.
"It sure is." The female agreed, as she scratched one of her elven ears which poked out from underneath her long hair. "It's always nice to watch the Sunset, the sunrise or look at the stars. It's really peaceful."
"True. So true."
A question popped into the females head. "Hey, Dex?"
"Yeah?" Dex turned to face her. "What is it?"
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, Xani. What's on your mind?" he sat up. Xani paused for a moment.
"Have you ever wondered what it's like to have a heart?" she put her hand over her chest. There was no heartbeat. "I mean, that we're nobodies, you and I have been since birth. I've always wondered what it'll be like to have an actual heart."
Dex was silent for a minute. "You know... I haven't really thought of that. Maybe you could ask mom and dad about that. Besides it's alright being a Nobody. Otherwise we wouldn't have our powers."
Xani was saddened at the last sentence. She looked away. Dex realized his mistake.
"Sorry, sis. I didn't mean it like that. Sorry." He sat upright, still looking at his little sister.
"It's just not fair." She said, nearly shedding a tear. "It's just that you, mom and dad have your powers... and I don't. Dad has light, mom has earth and you have fire. I don't have any powers or know what they are." She began to sob.
"Hey, hey." Dex put his arm around Xani. "Don't cry, Xani, don't cry. You'll find out your powers eventually. Don't worry, it'll turn out alright." Xani looked at him as he smiled and did a thumb up. She smiled and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Thanks, Dex. You always know how to cheer me up. You're the best brother that I could ask for."
Dex smiled. "What can I say? You're my sister."
"Dexter! Xani! Dinner time! Get down here!" a deep male voice called out from inside.
"Well. Time for dinner. I'm starving." Dex stated as he jumped off the roof and onto the street below. Xani laughed.
"Aren't you always?" she jumped down as well.
Inside the house: Dining room
"Now you two better not forget that you have Keyblade practice tomorrow."
A man with brown hair and aqua eyes said.
He wore a black hooded shirt, a black zipped up sleeveless vest, black fingerless gloves, skin-tight pants, black socks, and black sneakers with white stripes. He was around the age of 45 and had facial hair under his chin.
"Relax, dad." Xani said. "We won't forget. Right, Dex?"
Dexter nodded. "Right. We'll come home straight after we finish school."
"Speaking of school, that reminds me. We finish at 1pm tomorrow."
"What's the occasion, dear?" their father asked. "Why so early?"
"The schools are closing down for three months." Dex answered. "Not sure why but they're letting all the secondary and the college students leave."
"That's great, honey. Now you'll have more time to perfect your skills." A brown skinned woman with light brownish- black hair said. She wore only a black cloak with silver zippers and silver beads.
"Yeah, mom. It'll be great." Xani said. "But haven't we already learnt enough on..." she was cut off when there was a knock at the front door.
"I'll get it." Their father got up, walked to the door and opened it. There was a old woman the same height as him. Had greying brown hair and looked like she was still 50. She wore a robe covering most of her clothing which wasn't seen underneath.
"Grandma!" Dex and Xani's father hugged her.
"Hello, Dax." She said. "How's my favourite grandson?"
Dax laughed. "I'm your only grandson." He motioned her inside. "Come inside and sit down. Dax's grandmother walked inside and took off her robe.
"I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" she asked.
"No, not at all. It's nice for you to visit."
"Hello, Mera." Dax's wife entered the living room. "Nice to see you again."
"And you too, Xerina." Mera replied. "Where are the kids?"
"In their rooms upstairs. You can go and see them if you like." Xerina said.
"Thanks. I'll be right back." She teleported upstairs.
10 minutes later: Xani's room
Xani stood in front of her mirror combing her hair. She yawned and looked her digital alarm clock. The time said 10:55pm.
"That late already?" she asked to no-one in peculiar. "Have to ready for bed soon."
"You cannot stay up to say to 'hello' to your grandma?" Xani turned around to see Mera standing behind her.
"Grandma Mera!" Xani hugged her. "When did you get here?"
"About 15 minutes ago." She examined her great granddaughter from head to toe. "My word, look how big you've gotten. You look lovely."
Xani blushed a bit. "Thanks. Though it has been only 10 years. Dexter and I missed you so much. I thought we weren't going to see you again."
"Well, I've been pretty busy. With trying to keep the world's safe and all." She sat down on Xani's bed and motioned her to sit. "Sit down child, there's something I want to tell you."
"What is it, grandma?" Xani asked as she sat down. "What do you want to tell me?"
Suddenly much to her surprise, Mera burst into flames revealing a fiery figure.
"Ah!" Xani shouted. "What are you?"
"This is my true self, Xani." Mera said "Don't be afraid. I should've told you when you were younger."
"I don't understand. Tell me what?"
"That I'm the sun goddess. I'm the reason for the streaks in your hair."
"But I always thought they were just for show."
"No, my child. You harness the power of the sun in your hair. Haven't you noticed the streaks glowing every time when the sun rises?"
Xani shook her head. "No."
"That's because you hold some of my power within you. You are a gifted child. You hold great power which someday you'll learn to control. Awaiting you is a road to your destiny."
"That's not all you want to tell me, is there?" Xani asked.
"No. There's some bad news. But what I said was the truth. I blessed you... you. The most beautiful female with my power so you can use when you control them."
"But what's the bad news?"
Mera was silent. "... I haven't got much longer to live."
Xani was horrified. "Grandma... you mean?"
"I'm dying. I've only got six months to live. My light is dying. It's time to accept my fate."
"No, grandma! You can't die. Please!"
"Do not cry, Xani." Mera said softly as she comforted her great granddaughter. "I will still be with you when I'm gone. You are my legacy. Do you understand?"
Xani nodded. "Yes, grandma. I do." She remembered her question. "Grandma?"
"Yes?" Mera reverted back to her human form.
"Can I ask you an important question?"
"Of course, child. What is it?"
Xani tapped her fingers uncomfortably. "Well..." she paused. "What's it like to have a heart?"
"A heart? What do you mean?"
"I mean that since I'm a Nobody and have been one since birth, I lack a heart. I just want to know what a hearts like."
Mera thought for a moment. "Well... if my knowledge is correct. Having a heart is an amazing thing. You can feel all kinds of emotions such as happiness, love, and joy for example. But there are a few bad things."
"Like what?"
"Like if you fall in love with someone that you like but they cheat on you. It can break your heart. But even though a heart is strong at times but the darkness will always come to force that said heart into succumbing."
Xani hugged Mera. "Thank you, grandma. That's all I wanted to know."
Mera looked at the clock; it was nearly 11:30pm. "Oh my, look at the time. You should be in bed."
"Right. Goodnight."
"Night." Mera got up and left; teleporting out. Xani laid down on her bed and rested her head on the pillow.
'I wonder what my power will be.' She wondered. 'I bet it'll be awesome.'
She stared at the ceiling. She sighed.
"Well, at least it'll be a good day tomorrow." She clapped her hands twice. The lights turned off, only her golden streaks being the only light in the room.
Slowly and surely, she drifted off to sleep.
So what'd you think? Feel free to review. Next chapter will be up ASAP.
Xani: Can't wait to see my power!
Me: Never can I!
