Chapter One: the dream, and... Sora?
A girl was falling through the sky. Her eyes were closed, and she was thinking 'I've been having these weird thoughts lately, like, is any of this for real; or not?' she kept on falling, and suddenly she jerked up on a beach. She got up and saw one of her best friends, Riku. She waved, and suddenly a Tsunami formed behind him, she tried to tell him, but he just held out his hand. She ran to him, with her hand outstretched but she was feeling strangely sluggish. She couldn't make it in time, and the wave swallowed them both. She spun around from the force of the wave, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw Riku, somehow still standing, hand still outstretched and tried to swim towards him, but the current swept her away. She broke the surface, and saw her other best friend; Kairi. She waved, and ran towards her, and stopped in front of her, bent over, out of breath. She looked at Kairi, who was looking at the sky in awe. She looked up, and saw a meteor shower. One of the meteors looked suspiciously like her, but before she could get a good look, she lost her balance, and fell. Kairi grabbed at her hand, but it was no use, she fell, and somehow passed through the sand, and started falling head first. She felt the strange need to close her eyes, so she did. A few seconds later, she felt the impact with the surface of the water, but somehow she could still breath. Her body started shifting on its own, so she braced her leg muscles, and sure enough she felt solid ground beneath her. Nothing happened for a while, so she took a step, and suddenly doves flew off of the landing, and beneath the doves was a strange mural of a woman with people and animals surrounding her.
She was looking around, when a strange voice sounded in her head. 'So much to do, so little time. Take your time, don't be afraid. The door is still shut." 'I have no idea what this 'door' is, but it sounds bad. Could he be talking about the door in the...' She thought."Power sleeps within you... if you give it form... It will give you strength." After each pause, a pedestal appeared, each with a different weapon floating over it. "Choose well." it finished. She walked up to the first pedestal, and grabbed the weapon. "The power of the warrior, invincible courage, the sword of terrible destruction, is this the path you choose?" The voice asked. 'No, I do not wish to destroy anything. I wish to protect my friends, and my will to do so is strong.' She thought, and as if that thought was all it took, the sword disappeared, and reappeared on the pedestal. She walked up to the next one. "The power of the knight, the power to protect others, a shield to defend all. Is this the power you seek?" the voice asked again. 'hmm, maybe lets see the last one first.' The shield went back, and she headed over to the last one. "The power of the mystic, inner strength, a staff of wonder and ruin. Is this the power you seek?" it asked. She thought of the options, and she decided. 'I choose the power of the mystic.' she thought. The staff appeared in her hand. "Now, what will you give up in exchange?" the voice asked. 'hmmm, I think that I will give up the power of the warrior, because, I still want to defend my friends, and I don't think I will be destroying anything anytime soon.' she reasoned. "You choose the power of the mystic. You give up the power of the warrior. Is this the form you seek?" the voice asked, with an air of finality. 'Yes.' "Your path is set." and suddenly, a crack appeared in the floor. The crack spread, and suddenly the floor shattered, sending the girl falling again.
She reappeared, and landed on a blueish platform this time. "There will be times that you will have to fight. You must learn to defend yourself. Here is a basic spell." suddenly a book appeared in-front of her. "Study this well." She read the book, and it explained how to preform basic spells. The spells were, Fire, Blizard, Thunder, Areo, Gravity, Stop, and Cure. After she had memorized how to preform the spells, a box appeared in-front of her. "To preform certain things like limits and magic, MP is required. Each time you use those abilities, you loose MP. It can be recovered with Ethers, or by touching Mana pools. You can also go back to Mana pools if you need a break." The voice explained. She tapped the chest with her weapon, and the chest opened to reveal sixty Ethers. She grabbed them, and silently thanked the mysterious voice. "Now, use your new skills. Defend yourself!" Suddenly a shadow appeared, and it molded itself into an ant like monster. She took out her staff, and focused on the fire spell she had just learned. A small fire ball appeared, and blasted the shadow off of the platform. five more appeared, and she cast thunder, which blasted all five off of the platform. "You have skill, but you must always keep track of all of your enemies." She instantly got wearily and started looking around. "Behind you!" the voice shouted. She spun around, and cast blizzard freezing the shadow, and then swung her staff like a baseball bat, and the block of ice flew off of the platform. "Good job, now, how many can you take on at once?" it asked, and at least twenty shadows appeared. The fight ensued, and she jumped, hit, and blasted them all off of the platform, only getting a few scratches, which she quickly healed with cure. "Good." a door suddenly appeared, and she walked up to it, and opening it, she was blinded by a light.
"Hold on, it is not time yet, the door is still shut, Now tell me a little about yourself." She appeared to be back on the island, and her friends, Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka, were all there too. She walked up to Selphie. "What is most important to you?" She asked. "My friends." The girl answered. "Friends? Are they really so great?" She asked. The girl shook her head. Next she walked up to Tidus. "What are you most afraid of?" He asked. "Being different." She responded. "Bein' different? Is that really so scary?" He asked. Finally she walked up to Wakka. "What do you want out of life?" He asked. "To see rare sights." she responded. "To see rare sights, huh?" he said. "You value friendship. You are afraid of being different. You want to see rare sights. Your journey starts at midday, keep a steady pace, and you will come out fine. Is this the path you will take?" the voice appeared again. 'yes' she thought.
She suddenly reappeared on a new platform. This one had three faries on it. "This, is a mana pool. They restore your strength, and allow you to rest." a weird pool appeared out of no-where. She walked up to it, and when she touched it, she felt as if she had just had a massage, nap, and shower, all at once. She stepped out, and the light that had been glowing on it suddenly moved to the edge of the platform, and out into the abyss, and where ever it shone, a square of the same stained glass material as the platforms, appeared, and seemed to be making a staircase to another platform. She walked over to the 'staircase' and started walking up. Once she got a good distance away, she noticed that after every few steps, a stair would disappear. Unable to turn back, she just kept going. On the next platform, the mural was of a woman with brown hair, in a golden dress, with a beast behind her. surrounding them were household items with faces on them. "As you draw nearer the light, your shadow grows. But don't be afraid..." The voice said, fading out. She turned around, and saw that her shadow was growing, and suddenly, it was standing on its own, raising its fist to strike. She proceeded to cast a few spells at it thinking that would take care of it, but it was still standing. It slammed its fist into the ground, and the girl narrowly missed being clobbered When the fist hit the ground, darkness expanded from it, and the shadows from before appeared. she blasted the smaller shadows, and they flew off the platform. She then shot a fire spell at her shadows head, and it staggered 'So, its head is its weak point.' She thought. She then cast a few fire, blizzard thunder, and even a few gravity at the shadow, and eventually it was at the edge, but it swiped at her, and hit her, knocking her staff away, and it disappeared It got ready another punch. "But don't forget, you hold the mightiest weapon of all, so don't forget," the voice picked up where it left off. "you are the one, who will open the door." Everything faded to black.
"Hey, are you going to start talking to your characters at the end of chapters?"
"Well, Sora, I'm thinking about it. I might, if I get enough reviews..."
"But... you've still only got that one from anonymous."
"Well, I, uh..."
"Yeah, I'll ask. Hey everyone, please review, or this guy won't post more of me and Naruko."
