When you walk away
You don't hear me say,
"Please, oh baby, don't go."

In a world where time seems never to change, a young girl stood in the middle of a dusty battlefield taking in the massacre that took place. Panting, she began to walk on clumsy legs in the direction of a particular weapon that was glistening from the light of the moon. Thousands of weapons similar to this one were rooted in the dirt surrounding her.

When she reached the specific weapon, she softly touched the grip with her fingertips, sliding down the hilt and across the purple gem that was embedded along the handle. Lifting her face to the sky, her red eyes caught sight of a shooting star. Reaching her hand toward the sky, she made a wish and closed her eyes, praying with all her heart for it to come true.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the sky and fell to the dirt nearby. Curious, the young girl ran to the spot it fell to investigate. When she arrived at the spot, she saw it had the same shape as a star and went to pick it up. However, when her fingers touched it, the world enveloped in a bright yellow light and she disappeared along with the star shard.

In you and I there's a new land
Angel's in flight

Coughing could be heard resonating throughout the small house that was perched on top of the hill outside of the nearest town. A young boy around the age of eight was lying on his small bed with the blankets up to his chin and a wet towel on his forehead. His caretaker stood in the room adjacent to his with a look of pure agony on his face, listening to what the doctor next to him was saying.

"Listen, the truth of the matter is this; Terra doesn't have much longer. His body is too weak to fight against the sickness that has taken ahold of him. I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done."

The doctor gripped Master Eraqus's shoulder tightly in a comforting gesture and then turned towards the front door and left; shattering any hope Eraqus had at saving Terra's life. He turned his head towards the door when he heard a vicious coughing fit come from Terra's small body. Quickly snapping himself out of his reprieve, Eraqus went to comfort Terra in an attempt to try and ease his own fears as well as the boy's.

My sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah

A bright light appeared in front of Terra's bed and when it disappeared, there was a short, slender teenage girl about the age of eighteen looking around with curiosity on her face. Her long brown hair framed her face and accented her red eyes. The brown outfit she wore looked almost black in the darkness. Terra felt the wind blow from his lips as he gazed upon what appeared to be a hallucination, causing him to rub his eyes until he saw spots.

Finally, the intruder noticed the young boy lying in his bed and slowly come closer and noticed the redness of his cheeks and his puffy eyes. His brown hair hung low in his eyes, covering them mostly from her sight. A towel draped over his shoulders and she could visibly see his shoulders rise and fall with each breath he took.

"Who are you?" Terra asked the stranger inching closer to his bedside.

"My name is Novangeline, but you can call me Nova. What's your name?"

"My name is Terra."

Nova smiled and nodded, "Well, it's nice to meet you Terra."

In that moment, Nova realized that her wish came true. This young boy is the reason she was pulled from that wasteland of a world and brought here; to help him.

"What's wrong?" she asked, curiosity getting the best of her.

"I'm sick and the doctor says that there's nothing he can do." His face was a mask of pure acceptance as he stared at her.

Nova stood her ground and smirked at the young boy.

"Well, I'm here to tell you that I'm somewhat of an expert on curing illnesses. May I?" Nova moved closer and bent down to raise her hand over his chest, being polite. Terra nodded and she softly placed her palm over his lungs. Nova closed her eyes and took a deep breath, calling forth her healing power and felt a surge of relief when she felt her hand grow warm.

Terra stared at Nova briefly before he felt his chest heat up and glanced down to see her hand was glowing green before turning black.

"What's happening?" Terra squeaked in alarm.

Nova didn't reply, continuing to stay focused on her task.

After a moment, there was a sharp burst of dark energy that withdrew out of her palm, seemingly transferring into Terra and shocking them both. This surprising energy transfer knocked Nova across the room but fortunately, Terra was unharmed. His eyes were wide but his cheeks had more color in them than before.

"How do you feel?" she asked slowly.

Terra took a deep breath and for the first time in what felt like forever, he could finally take a deep breath without having an attack.

"I feel….better. I…how…did you..?" he stuttered, unsure of how she was able to take his coughing away.

"It's my gift. Don't worry, you should be all better now, but you will need your rest."

Nova rose to her full height and smiled before attempting to exit his room in a less than spectacular fashion when she tripped over his toy train.

Terra's eyes lit up and he began to laugh at her expense, causing Master Eraqus to wake up and run to the young boy's room. Nova panicked when she heard the older man call Terra's name. Her presence here would be difficult to explain so she attempted to find an escape to no avail. The door burst open beside her and Master Eraqus quickly runs to Terra's side with worry written across his face.

"Terra, is everything alright? I thought I heard another voice," he said, confusion causing his eyebrows to wrinkle together.

All the young boy did was smile, with tears in his eyes and pointed in Nova's direction. She was still sprawled across the floor with his toy train woven between her feet and other toys surrounding her.

"Who are you!? What is your purpose here?" Master Eraqus stood proud and glared at her with ire.

He lift his arm above him and flicked his wrist, successfully summing his keyblade from thin air. Grasping the hilt, he lowered the weapon and pointed it at Nova's chest. Nova stared at the blade, transfixed. This was the first time she had met another keyblade wielder in a very long time.

I'm sorry for the short chapter, I just felt this was a good section to break it off. I currently have about 75-80% of this story written (including a completely finished ending) but I have a few sections in the middle I'm trying to hash out to make the story flow. As you can see, some of the sections are choppy and I am so sorry about it, but I figure I'm going to go ahead and post this so it can motivate me to finish this before I actually start writing my book. This is my favorite story I've written or am currently writing so please, please review! Any/all feedback is encouraged and appreciated!
