"I don't know who I am or where I'm from. . . Only that I didn't come from this world, and that I wasn't raised on here. I'm unknown, to both my master and 'friends'… And of course, myself."
Brenden didn't know who he was, or let stand What at all. He was somewhat like the young boy Ventus, appearing on the world a year after he had been brought there. Ventus didn't have any memories of his past, either. Terra and Aqua were his best friends yet also acted as his guardians due to Ventus being quite young. Brenden was the outsider. A black sheep in the morning herd. He didn't feel like he belonged to this world and wondered where he was actually from. It was a day nearby, for something big that would happen soon. Master Eraqus had trained all four of them up till now, and Eraqus found talent in this young boy Brenden. He mastered the keyblade like a true master! He was at equal skill compared to Aqua and Terra. Ventus was still learning but also knew how to fight, in a rather original and strange way. It was the last night before the Mark of Mastery exam. The stars were bright and Brenden was sitting somewhere distant, trying to remain unseen and unbothered with. He saw them three again, talking. He could hear their conversation: Aqua, Terra and Ventus.
Terra started talking about how each star could be another world. They were both listening, as was Brenden, and then Aqua started speaking. She held some objects out, and readied her gentle, feminine voice with a yell: "Hey, Brenden! We know you're there, Come on over here!" With a slight smile on her face. Brenden blushed as he muttered "Crap, they found me…" He came from his sole hiding spot and walked over towards the three standing there. They were now formed as a circle, of four persons. Aqua said that she had made wayfinders, and gave one to each of them. Terra had a light brown themed one, Ventus a green way finder and Aqua a blue one. Brenden received a fiery one and showed a small smile. It was the first he had gotten a present before, and even from a woman, too. "Eh.. Thank you. I'll cherish this." He said with a low voice. He took out a tread and weaved it tightly to the Way Finder. A necklace, basically which he then put around his neck.
"The exam's starting today, huh…" Brenden spoke as he walked upward to the exam's location, then coming across the three musketeers: Ventus, Aqua and Terra. As he neared them, they waved friendly. Terra and Aqua would be taking the Mark of Mastery exam of true keyblade wielders to become a keyblade master. Eraqus had insisted on having Brenden do the exam, too. Brenden however, did not feel experienced and skilled enough to do so, which Master Eraqus kept contradicting. The exams were starting already! Master Eraqus held a speech with the main declaration of it not mattering who won at all. Then, the test was to start. Master Xehanort -the other keyblade master – was also here with his student which always wore a mask to cover his face for some reason. Master Eraqus formed orbs of light and spread them out; they just had to destroy them. Suddenly, the orbs started to fly around wildly, this was Xehanort's doing to try and sabotage the exam somewhat.
Eraqus yelled out to destroy them as quickly as possible, with Ventus and Brenden deciding to join in. Summoning their keyblades, the one Brenden wielded was unknown to the others; they used wooden ones to practice and train. It was a rather wide keyblade with a combination of white and fiery colors, with the shape of a star. They rushed over to the orbs and started swiping each one down. The orbs were gone and the exam continued. The final stage was a fight, between both of them. Aqua versus Terra, who would win? After an amazing fight, Aqua came out as the victor and passed the exam. Terra showed traces of darkness, which wasn't acceptable. Soon after, Master Xehanort had left. Terre told the three how he needed a bit of alone time… Master Xehanort approached Terra and told him that darkness could not be destroyed, but only channeled.
The bells rang as Terra ran back into the building, Aqua was there, too. Eraqus was talking to someone, and then saw the two in the back. They told them that the seven princesses of heart were in danger and that creatures of darkness lurked around the planets, the great Master Yen Sid named them; The Unversed. They were commanded to rid of the Unversed and chase Master Xehanort! Terra chased after him and flew away. Ventus rushed after Terra and followed soon after, wanting to tell him something. But, that didn't come out as Terra had then left. Then Eraqus told Aqua to get Ventus and Terra back. Brenden stood there, surprised at how the hall of the exam was now empty, leaving himself and Eraqus behind. Eraqus grabbed hold of Brenden, and spoke to him: "You have amazing skill and power, Brenden! I want you to chase them and make sure they won't die during their travel! Please…" Brenden looked towards Eraqus and gave but a simple nod. He took out his Way finder and stared at it for a moment, then answering: "I… I'll do my best to find them, Master Eraqus!" he said convincing and proud. Brenden went to the same spot and smacked his shoulder pad, activating his armor. It was the same as the others, but then tainted in a fiery color instead. His transport version was but simply in the style of a motorcycle, one that could fly. Brenden charged up its 'engine's and bursted away through the gate he created in the sky. (End of: Intro)
