I: The First Day

So you think you have it bad? Well, if you did, well... you've never experienced my life. Enjoy the tragic tale of my unchangeable fate.

My name is Ethan Chase. I'm fourteen, well, fifteen in three days. I'm about the most un-average guy you could meet. Natural long, spiky, pitch-black hair, about five feet, nine inches tall, and a decently fit body. I guess you could call me good looking, but I really could care less. Anyway, I live in this place called Eden. I only have two friends: Annabeth Solar and Christian Belias. We've been best friends since we were babies.

Annabeth is a little older than me, she's fifteen, but her birthday passed about four days ago, so she's not much older. She has long, straight, bleach-blonde hair. She's a little shorter than me, by about two inches or so. I've kinda had a crush on her for years... Moving on.

Christian has always been more of my rival. I mean, yeah we're best friends, but ever since we were little, we competed. He's always been better at everything compared to me, but I'm determined to win in the future. Christian has yearn, moon colored hair. He's a little taller and stronger than me.

Well now that we're done with introductions, let's start the story. It starts three days before my birthday, at my house.

"So you ready? You're almost fifteen! I mean, yeah you'll still be the youngest, but you'll finally be fifteen!" Annabeth exclaimed a little over-enthusiastically.

"Well, I don't know why me being fifteen will change anything, I'll still be the same old me, but yeah, I'm excited. All kids are excited when their birthday is coming up," I said.

"But you should be happy, maybe something big will happen on your birthday," Christian said.

I raised an eyebrow, "Are you implying that you're doing something for my birthday?"

Christian chuckled, "I'm not implying anything, but if that's what you think..."

"Oh, stop leading him on, you know that all of us are in the dark on what's going to happen to Ethan on his Birthday," Annabeth scolded Christian.

"Well, whatever happens, I can't wait." I will soon regret these words...

The majority of that day we just hung around my house. My house is nothing special, just two little bedrooms, a quaint kitchen, and a living room with a decent sized television that no one watched. It was just me and my mom in the house, so my mom never minded the company. Annabeth, Christian, and I mostly just hung around in the living room, and joked around. We usually just talked, practiced swordplay (a little hobby of ours), and ate Sea-Salt Ice Cream. Now I know what you're thinking, but the ice cream isn't that bad. It's salty, yeah, but it's also sweet. After that day, after everyone went home, that night... The dreams started.

I could see three kids. Two of them about the same age as me, but the third one was younger. There was the girl, she had blue hair and was tall. The first boy, the older one, had dark brown hair, and was very muscular. The second boy, the youngest of the three, was short, with sandy blonde hair. They looked so familiar, but I had never seen them before in my life. The thing about the three of them that was the same, was their shoulders, there was some weird contraption, like an arm guard.

The dream started by showing me these three, lying on the ground, staring at the night sky. Then I heard something that seemed different from the scenery. My view started to zoom onto the young boy's face.

"Why did the Keyblade choose me? I have to know," a male voice had said.

"You can't turn against the Organization!" a second voice yelled. The voices changed.

"Why! Why do you have the Keyblade!" a new voice had yelled.

"... Shut up!" the scene changed.

I saw the young boy running down some stairs, towards the older boy.

"Terra!" the boy yelled. The older boy (now named Terra) had turned to the younger boy.

"Don't worry, Ventus," Terra said. He turned, and pushed the button on his arm guard. A light flashed, and Terra was in a full body suit of armor. The scene paused itself. The voices came back.

"You turn on them and they'll destroy you!" the voice said.

"No one would miss me..." the voice sounded like... like Ventus', no, it couldn't be, this voice sounded more mature.

"That's not true! I would..." the first voice finished. The voices changed.

"Why? Why do you have the Keyblade?" The voice exclaimed.

"...Shut up!" I could hear a swing, a clash, and someone hit the ground.

"... I see... That's why..." the scene changed once again.

It was a wasteland... full of... blades? There was a cross pathway, with people in familiar armor from before.

"I heard the master was struck down. Is it true?" a girls voice said directed to Terra.

"Yes, Aqua, but only because he tried to harm Ven." Terra explained. They turned to the new approaching figure. The figure was tall, tanned, old, and evil. His image faltered and another figure appeared next to him. He had a suit on too, but his seemed to be made of darkness.

Ventus went towards them, but Terra stopped him and ran to attack the two new figures. The ground below Terra rose and threw him off of his feet. The two enemies rose on their own rising earth. The man moved his hand towards the blades, and the blades on the ground below rose to his will, and rushed towards Terra. They threw him in the air and struck him countless times, thousands of blades, striking his armor.

"Terra!" Aqua yelled and made a barrier around Terra. The barrier didn't last long, for it was destroyed in moments, and the scene changed.

A boy with long, black, spiky hair, he looked just like me, but with yellow eyes. He smiled wickedly and swung a huge, huge blade at Ventus. The scene changed.

I could see Aqua fighting a white-haired Terra with a dark creature behind him.

"Give Terra back his heart!" she yelled. The scene changed for the final time.

I could see Aqua walking down a stone walkway. The area looked consumed by darkness. Suddenly, out of nowhere, four giant monsters appeared and surrounded Aqua. Then, out of nowhere, two blades, Terra's and Ven's, flew with shimmering light and destroyed the monsters.

I could see Aqua say something, but I heard no words. My vision faded, and my dream ended...
