Bright Darkness

Prologue

A scream pierced through the once silent Twilight Town.

Running through the streets of the town was a young girl that was probably only four or five. She was wearing a white night gown that made her look like an angel in the dark. Her hair was a dark black with streaks of red in it and her eyes was a dark blue that looked black in the night. She was absolutely terrified as she ran down the empty streets at late night.

She turned into an alleyway too sharply and tripped on the first two steps. Her night gown got a little darker from the dirt on the road. She looked behind her with tears in her eyes. Whatever was chasing her had been able to catch up because she had tripped.

A giant black being running on fours and standing on two legs chased after her. It had a giant red mane flowing behind it and bright yellow eyes that showed no intelligence. It had huge claws that were obviously used for inflicting pain. Around it were four globs of shadows that had the same yellow eyes.

The girl screamed again before quickly getting up and running again. She felt the beings coming closer, but it wasn't long before the young girl ran out of breath. She stopped herself in a corner of an abandoned alley berthing hard. The black lion, as the girl decided to call it, had stopped in front of her and now stood on two legs raising its claws to strike the young girl. The girl screamed into her dress and shut her eyes closed thinking this was the end.

She then heard a clang of metal meet the claws of the black lion. She could hear it taking a step back and roaring at whatever stopped it. There was another flight of clanging metal before the black lion roared again. The girl dared to open her eyes.

A person wearing a black jacket stood guarding over her. His back was to her, so she could only tell that he had silver hair that was in a laired mess. He was wielding a Keyblade that was what appeared to be a devil's wing with an angel's wing acting as the teeth of the Keyblade. This person wielded his Keyblade with one hand showing great strength in his part. His form seemed to be of a heroic stance.

The black lion was standing back growling in desperation at his new opponent. The lion took a step back and roared into the sky. After a moment of silence, the alleyway was filled with more black beings. The Keyblade Wielder took a step back with hesitation.

The girl screamed again. All she could see were the bright yellow eyes of the unintelligent creatures. She closed her eyes again. All she could hear were the clangs of metal until the metal clangs stopped and only roars and growls of the black beings could be heard.

The young girl opened her eyes ever so slightly before she saw an image that tormented the rest of her life. A single blue eye could be seen looking at her for help in a sea of darkness and yellow eyes. The girl screamed once more.
