My first story! Woot! Lot's of reviews please!
Sora was sat on the beach staring out at the ocean, the blue sky above him was cloudless but he frowned slightly as he scrunched the warm sand between his fingers, a day like this was a little too perfect. Sora knew it wouldn't stay this calm for long. But he suddenly broke into a smile and flung himself backwards in the sand for a nap, might as well enjoy it while it lasted, right? He settled down for a sunbathe and a snooze, preferably a long one. A few minutes later he started in suprise as he felt a sudden shadow fall on him, opening his eyes slightly he saw Riku blocking his view of the sky.
"Hey Riku!" He sat up and beamed at his friend as Riku flopped in the sand next to him.
"Hey Sora..." He cast his gaze out towards the horizon a look of concentration on his face.
"Whats the matter?" Sora punched his arm gently.
"Nothing..." Riku sighed, "It's just, are you getting the feeling that somethings going to happen?"
Sora nodded and Riku looked looked suprised.
"Well, aren't you worried at all? 'Something' for us usualy involves a kidnap and having to set out on a life changing mission."
Sora grinned. "Exactly! Don't be such a spoil sport Riku, you know how much I love adventure!"
"I know all too well Sora." Riku shook his head, but even he was smiling now. It was hard not to around Sora, it's like the boy's smiles were infectious.
Both boy's lay back in the sand watching the sky as a single puffy white cloud began it's journey slowly over the canvas of blue.
"At least this time Riku.." Sora stopped.
"What?" Riku prompted.
"It doesn't matter." Sora turned towards the sea.
Riku looked at him.
"What?" Sora smiled.
Riku raised his eyebrows.
"Fine, I was going to say at least if anything happens now, at least, we can face it together."
Riku grabbed him in a headlock and noogied him. Sora laughed, a wild happy sound that filled the air all the way up to that single lonely cloud drifting above them.
Faraway a very different scene was playing out, but also on a beach. Eragon Shadeslayer watched as the ship sailed away, two dragons circling high above.
Facing the sky he screamed, pouring all his soul and sorrow into that one sound. But he felt in his heart that the final parts of the prophecy were coming true, and he was powerless to stop the pieces from falling into place. Saphira was gone and the time for the final part of the prophecy drew near. The words still rang in his ears:'You shall leave Alagaesia and never return.'
Eragon braced himself as storm clouds darkened the sky, and rain began to fall around him, it was time.
Meanwhile Sora felt a strange presence welling up inside him, filling him up and making him feel like he would burst. Riku grabbed hold of him, trying to steady the tremors racking his body.
Suddenly Sora felt the pressure inside him subside a little and he relaxed, collapsing against Riku.
Sora felt it in his chest: ThudThud thudthud, ThudThud thudthud, ThudThud thudthud.
"What's the matter Sora!?" Riku was starting to panic.
Sora shook his head grabbing hold of Riku's hand and placing it on his chest, Riku didn't understand at first, all he could feel was Sora's heart beating rapidyly.
Wait, Riku felt a cold tingle run down his spine and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.
Hearts.
For under his hand he could feel two distinctive heart beats.
"There are two.." He stared at his friend in shock.
A flash of lightning unexspectedly flashed and rain began to fall around them, Riku looked up in suprise, there had only been one small cloud a minute ago...
A bolt of lightning flashed down from the sky and struck Eragon, he screamed as he felt the heat sear his flesh. The lightning bolt stopped and the scream ended, but Eragon was no where to be seen, abruptly as they had come, the clouds cleared, and the choppy sea fell calm, but the beach was empty.
Riku cried out as close to where he and Sora were crouched in the sand, lightning struck, when it had finished, the storm seemed to lift suddenly and the sky quickly cleared, but that wasn't what caught Riku's attention.
Lying in the sand a few metres away, on the spot where the lightning had struck was the body of a boy about his and Sora's age.
Running to the boys side he checked for a pulse, nothing... Riku closed his eyes and clenched his stomach, he'd seen plenty of death before, now was not the time to start getting queasy! But there was something strange about the boy, because if his hair had been brown and spiked slightly differently Riku could have sworn he looked a lot like...
His train of thought was cut off as Sora groaned, looking over at his friend Riku could see that Sora was glowing, that, was never a good sign. But even as he watched Sora struggled to his feet. Dragging his feet as he took shaky steps Sora slowly made his way over to Riku and the strange boy, collapsing forward he knelt in the sand at the boy's side.
Reaching out a shaky hand he put it on the boy's chest, his hand glowed for a second and Sora felt the second heartbeat dissapear from his chest.
Grabbing hold of Riku's hand he placed it on the boys chest and Riku was startled to feel, a heartbeat? The boy gasped and began to breathe, slowly and deeply.
Sora leaned closer to get a good look at the boys face, he jumped in shock and fell sideways when the boy rolled slightly, giving Sora a better look at his features.
Riku jumped to Sora's side and was suprised to see a smile on the boys lips. He looked questioningly at him.
Sora smiled and took an unsteady breath "R..roxas...My..Nobody..." Sora passed out and Riku stared in shock at both of them. Sora and Roxas, both with hearts?
I wanted my first story to be original, I don't think this has been done before! Eragon, is Roxas!?
