Chapter#1
Shattering Existence
" I've been having these weird feelings lately. Like is any of this even real?" thought the young boy looking up at the starry night sky. His brown eyes gazing up at a sea of stars wondering if there was another world somewhere on one of those stars. He stood up and walked inside slowly heading to his room. He stretched and fell onto his bed still thinking. His eyes closed and he dozed off into sleep. The darkness closed in on him that night as he slept he felt the presence of somebody calling to him. He woke up abruptly sweating and gasping for air. " What's going on?" he gasped. " You wonder if this is real?" said a voice coming from the darkness. The boy looked up and saw a figure standing in front of his bedroom door. The figure had a black leather coat on and a hood covering his face. " Does this place even exist?" Is this just a dream that you're living day by day?" asked the being. The boy stood up and looked at him strangely, " How did you get in here?" The being laughed, " Darkness…that is how I got here boy. I used the darkness". " Darkness…what are you talking about?" asked the boy. He looked at the being but he was gone. " You'll see in due time boy the light will shine the truth of your true self and you will find the door to existence very soon" said the being's voice. The boy laid back down on his bed and fell asleep. He awoke in the morning to the sun shining through his blinds. He stood up and got ready for school. He walked out the front door with his backpack and started walking up the street. E looked up at the cloudy sky, " Looks like rain" said the boy. He finally arrived at school. He walked over to the field and sat on the bleachers. " Do you feel as if the pressure of the world is centered around you at times?" asked a voice from behind him. He stood up and turned around to see the same being from before. Meanwhile up by the locker rooms the boy's friends saw him speaking to the being. " Who are you? Why do you keep appearing? And how do you keep appearing?" ask the boy. " I'm here to warn you that this place is falling apart and it's beginning to corrupt with darkness," said the being. The boy looked at the being with serious eyes. "A memory hidden in the back of your heart, look deep within yourself and you'll find the key. And with that key you'll find what you've been searching for," said the being. " What I'm searching for what are you talking about?" asked the boy. "You know what you're searching for," said the being and he then started to fade away. " Wait! What do you mean by key! "yelled the boy. " You'll find out soon enough," said the beings voice. Then it started to rain on the boy as he walked to his friends with his hands in his pockets and his head facing the ground in thought. " Hey who was that guy?" asked one of them. The boy looked up his brown eyes seemed to change to blue for a split second, " I don't know".
" So what were you talking about?" asked one of the girl's. He looked at her " Nothing just nonsense he said in thought. She looked at him puzzled, " That didn't sound like a straight answer". The boy's eyes once again seemed to change color as he looked at her he then turned around and walked away. He headed for his fist period class and sat down at his desk waiting for class to start as he pondered about what the being was talking about. " The world is falling apart, and what did he mean about corrupting with darkness?" he asked himself. He looked at the clock every so often during class to see if this pointlessness was over yet. The bell rang and he made his way to his next class rushing to get there so he had time to talk to his friends outside for at least two minutes. He walked outside to see his two friends standing there talking. " Hey guys what's up". " Nothing how bout you?" asked the girl. " I'm good," he said. The guy looked at his watch and looked at the giant clock on the main building, " Class should be starting soon so see yah," he said as he walked down the stairs. The girl looked at the boy then walked down the stairs. The boy walked back to his class and repeated the same boring routine as he did in the last class. He did this routine till lunch. At lunch he and his friends sat at the same table talking and laughing, but today was different he felt tired so he decided to sleep instead. When he opened his eyes he saw nothing but darkness. He then started to feel water hitting him from above, " Rain? " he whispered. He walked around in the vast open dark space for a while before noticing the door. The door had a strange keyhole in the center of it and it was tall and white with stained glass on it. "What is this?" asked the boy. " It's the door to existence, the door to the light its Ignkodm trehas," said a voice. The boy looked around in confusion, " Sorry I didn't catch that last part of what you said." " So you can't hear it's name yet, how sad," said the voice. The boy looked around but he couldn't find the voices owner, he knew it wasn't the same guy from last time his voice was different. " It's time for you to wake up," said the voice. He woke up instantly to see his friends still talking and laughing. He stood p and grabbed his stuff and walked to his net class early. " What's going on? Why is this happening?" he thought. His last two classes went by as fast as the others. He got his ride home and walked inside slowly. He headed to his room and laid down on his bed and dozed off. He was awoken two hours later to the sound of the phone ringing. " Hello" he said. " Hey we're at the soccer game and we were wondering if you'd like to come down and hang out with us?" asked the girl on the other line. "Sure I'll be there in twenty minutes," he answered. He got up and changed his clothes now he was wearing his black jacket that had the words "king" on the back and to crowns on the shoulders. He grabbed his crown necklace and he black shirt and pants. He ran out the door towards the school.
As he headed towards the school he could hear the thunder in the clouds. When he arrived he met up with his friends. " Hey guys what's up, " he asked. They looked at him, " Nothing." His friend Josh looked at him " So what's with the duds?" He looked down at his clothes, " Theses nothing at all I just grabbed some stuff and put them on." Stephanie looked at him, " So what do you guys want to do?"
He looked up at the sky then back down at the ground, " I'm going for a walk okay." They all shook their heads saying okay. As he walked off, " He's been acting strange ever since that guy talked to him," said Josh. " Yeah he's a little distant now," said Stephanie. " Something must be bothering him," said Delaney. Hew walked up the small hill and looked up at the sky, and then he heard people yelling and screaming from behind him. He turned around swiftly to see they being in the black cloak on the field.
All the soccer players surrounded him and yelled at him. Then they all flew back ten feet. He looked at the boy and seemed to give him a hand gesture to come and get him. He couldn't think he just ran as fast as he could towards the being. As he ran he felt as if he was holding something in his right hand, but when he looked down to see what it was all he saw was a blurry image of gold and silver shapes. When he finally reached the being he stopped and looked at him " What are you doing hurting all these people!" The being chuckled, " Why do you care you hardly know half of them." " It doesn't matter they still feel pain and hurt, they are still people!" yelled the boy. The being crossed his arms, " Hmm you feel it but you still don't believe it's there do you?" He looked down at his right hand still seeing the blurry image, " could he mean this?" he thought. It started to rain, "I must test you now to prove that you're ready to leave through the door". " Test me! What are you talking about what door!" yelled the boy. The being uncrossed his arms and then red blades came out of his sleeves. "Wait what are you doing!" yelled the boy. " I'm going to test you," said the being. The being then jumped into the air and flew towards the boy. ' What do I do?" the boy asked himself. " Fight him! You have a weapon that no other weapon can beat," said a voice. He then looked down at his right hand again but this time the image was clear. What he saw was neither a sword nor a key but both, " a…keyblade,"he whispered.
