Prologue: Mural of Destiny
Long ago, the world was united and filled with warm light. People loved the light and eventually began fighting over it. Then, darkness found its way into people's hearts. Darkness consumed the hearts and light of the people, and in a flash, it spread…the world disappeared into the darkness. But a glimmer of light remained in the hearts of children…children gathered their glimmers of light and re-created the world. The re-created world however, was no longer united…but divided into several smaller worlds. That's because the true light remained was still hidden deep within the darkness. But that's one story, now here's another. The sacred blade known as the "Keyblade" chose Sora, a boy who lived on the world known as "Destiny Islands". The blade itself was the key to all of the worlds. Him and his friends, Riku and Kairi, decided to travel to other worlds. But a when storm came in, him and his friends were swept away to other worlds and their world was consumed by darkness. Along the way, he met Donald, the court mage of "Disney Castle", and Goofy, the captain of the knights of "Disney Castle", and saved the worlds from the Heartless, beings who lost their hearts to darkness and consumes hearts, and Nobodies, beings that are opposite from the Heartless and have no heart. They ventured off to many worlds and encountered new friends. But, since the Heartless and Nobodies have seized their attack on the worlds, everything is at peace. Sora now lives in "Radiant Garden" with Kairi. Since they fell in love and married they are now king and queen of Radiant Garden. Riku lives at Disney Castle under the teachings of King Mickey. He has learned to control his dark powers and uses them wisely. But this story now has a new character, and he's getting ready for his adventure.
In the dark recesses of his mind, Aaron is on his mural. It shows him in the middle with is friends Heather, Matt, Kylee, and Maya. Heather, Matt, and Kylee have blue hearts beside their faces while Maya had a red heart. Aaron looked confused to where he was. He walked around to figure out that the endless pit of darkness trapped him. "Where am I," Aaron said puzzled. Then, Aaron heard a mysterious voice. "So much to do, so little time…take your time don't be afraid," the voice said as a ray of light appeared. "The door is still shut. Now, step forward. Can you do it?" Aaron did as he was told and step forward into the light. Suddenly, three pedestals appeared around Aaron then the voice spoke again. "Power sleeps within you," the voice spoke. "If you give it form…it will give you strength. Choose well." Aaron looked at each pedestal; each one had a specific item. The first one had a sword; he went to the pedestal and picked it up. Then, he heard the voice speak to him. " The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction, is this the power you seek?" Aaron looked at the sword for a moment. Then decided to look at the other choices. He went to the second one with a staff, and hopped onto the pedestal. "The power of the mystic," the voice said as it continued. "Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin, is this the power you seek?" Aaron then went to the pedestal with the shield on it. " The power of the guardian," it said. "Kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel all, is this the power you seek?" Aaron then went back to the one with the sword and chose it. Then, the sword disappeared in a bright light. "Your path is set," the voice said after Aaron chose. "Now what will you give up in exchange?" Aaron then headed to the staff and chose it. Then, it disappeared in a bright light like the sword, and then the voice spoke again. "You've chosen the power of the warrior. You've given up the power of the mystic. Is this the form you chose?" Aaron then nodded his head into saying yes. Suddenly, the pedestals started to sink into the mural. As Aaron stepped onto it, it shattered into a thousand pieces and he fell into the endless pit of darkness. As he was falling, he saw his mural again and landed lightly as a feather on his feet. Then in a flash of light, the sword from the pedestal appeared into his hand out of a bright light. The voice spoke again as the sword appeared. "You've gained the power to fight. Use this power to protect yourself and others. There will be times you'll have to fight. Keep your light burning strong." After the voice said what it had to say, some black creatures appeared out of the floor. Aaron couldn't describe what these creatures were. They were black with antennas and had round yellow eyes. All of the sudden, the creatures attacked Aaron with their claws but missed. Aaron now knew, the voice meant he had to fight these things. Aaron charged at the creatures with his sword and stabbed one, killing it and causing it to fade out of existence in a puff of black smoke. Then he swiped at one but it dodged and attacked him. He got a little scratch but swiped the creature again with his sword, thus killing it. After that, the creatures retreated from Aaron thus showing his victory. Suddenly, the voice was once heard again. "Behind you," it said as if it warned him, which it did. As Aaron turned around, one of the creatures pounced onto his back. Aaron tried hard as he could to get the pest off his back, but he did it successfully. As he got it off his back and it landed on the floor on it's own back, Aaron jumped up into the air with his sword and came down on it thus finishing the creature off. Then, more creatures appeared around and Aaron readied his sword for combat. But the creatures had other plans; they sunk into the floor each creating a puddle of darkness, which grew immensely. Aaron was caught in it then began to sink. He tried to get out but proved useless as he was completely consumed by the darkness. Aaron not knowing appeared again onto his mural. He was struggling until realized and opened his eyes. He got up and looked around until saw what looked like a door. Aaron went up to it and tried to open it but instead his hand went through it. "I can't open it," Aaron said a little irritated. "Now how am I supposed to get further?" Then Aaron heard the voice speak to him again. "You must fight the small amount of darkness in your heart. Also, you must fight an enemy that wasn't supposed to exist." After the voice went silent, more of those black creatures appeared. Aaron got out his sword and charged at the creatures. The creature didn't stand a chance against Aaron with his sword. All but one of the creatures were left, it looked at Aaron as if it was saying spare me. Aaron stabbed the creature with his sword and ended its life. Then, he turned to the door and saw to his amazement. It started piecing itself together after Aaron defeated the creatures. Aaron again heard voice speak. "Your task is not done yet. You now must face the enemy." After it spoke, several white creatures appeared out of nowhere. Aaron looked even more irritated. "Here we go again," Aaron said as he charged at the creatures. These creatures were different than the last ones; they seemed like they know what they're doing. One creature scratched Aaron's chest with its claw but was stabbed by Aaron's sword, thus disappearing into nothingness. Then, the creatures all attacked at once. Aaron was in deep trouble now. But, he remembered something from one of his games. He charged at the creatures and did a summersault in the air. With his sword in his hand he looks like a spinning blade. He hit all the creatures and sent them to the endless void. "I can't believe I'm saying this…but thank god for video games," Aaron said happily. Aaron looked at the door which was now finally complete. Aaron opened the door and was blinded by bright light. As he opened his eyes, he found himself in his hometown at the docks surround by his friends. Then the voice spoke to him again. "Hold on. The door won't open just yet." "First, tell me more about yourself." Aaron went over to Kylee and she asked. "What's more important to you?" Aaron then said, "Friendship" as his answer. "Is friendship such a big deal," Kylee said. Then he went over to Heather who asked. "What are you afraid of?" Then Aaron found his answer and said, "Being different." "Being different," Heather said. "Is that really so scary?" Aaron then turned to Matt and then he asked. "What do you want out of life?" Aaron then answered, "To be strong." "To be strong huh," Matt said as the voice spoke. "You want friendship. You're afraid of being different. You want to be strong. Your adventure begins at dawn. As long as the sun is shining, your journey should be a pleasant one." Aaron smiled to what it said and then. "Sounds good," Aaron said. The voice spoke again. "The day you will open the door is both far and very near." Suddenly, Aaron was caught the bright light and appeared onto his mural again. Then, a road was formed to another mural on the edge of his mural. He ran up to the road and got to the mural. He then walked up to the ray of light, and then the voice spoke. "The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes." Suddenly, he turned around to see his own shadow come out of the floor and change. Aaron backed up little and he heard the voice. "Don't be afraid. And don't forget…" Then his shadow was fully transformed into a giant version of the creatures. Aaron tried to run away but forgot that he was trapped. His only choice now was to fight. The giant creature landed on his knees and started shooting balls of energy at Aaron. Aaron dodged the attack and started attacking the creature's hand. It then got back onto its feet and was ready for another attack. It charged dark energy into its hand and punched the floor, and thus causing a pool of darkness to appear from it. From the dark pool, came the small creatures. 'I get it,' Aaron thought. 'He uses the smaller ones as backup…still that's not going to help.' Aaron got to his stance and charged at the giant, and cutting through the smaller creatures on the way. 'If I hit his eye…then I'll win this,' Aaron thought strategically. Aaron swiped another creature and then hopped onto the giants arm and started running up it. Once he reached the shoulder, he jumped at the giant's head. Its head turned slowly, and thus revealing its eyes. "Your too slow," Aaron shouted as he hit the giant. Giving it the final blow. As Aaron landed back onto the floor, his sword disappeared into a bright light. Suddenly, the giant creature tried to crush Aaron with his fist but missed. Aaron fell down onto his posterior as the giant came closer. Suddenly, a small pool of darkness formed around under Aaron and the giant stared at him. Then the voice spoke. "Don't be afraid." Aaron then slowly started to sink into the darkness as the giant kept staring. "You hold the mightiest weapon of all," the voice said again. Aaron started struggling as the darkness started to envelope around him. "So don't forget…you are the one who will open the door," the voice finally said as he fully consumed by the darkness.
