Welcome everyone, to my very first fanfic. I love kingdom hearts, and had some ideas flying around my head, so I thought I'd write them out and see where it leads. I hope you all enjoy the story, and I would accept any sort of constructive criticism you have to offer. I will say, I'm not the best at describing things, so I will have a link to what the keyblades look like at the bottom of the chapter.
Dive to Heart
Black, that's all I could see. No matter where I looked, or what direction I turned in, everything was pitch black. And then, suddenly… Suddenly I was falling. I have no idea how to describe it, but all I knew was that I was falling into a pit of nothingness. I was spiraling out of, picking up speed as I fell for what seemed like an eternity, until I started to slow down, and as my body righted itself, my feet planted on solid ground. The instant my feet touched down, the darkness started swirling around my feet before being blown away like leaves in the wind, revealing what looked like a giant circular stained-glass window underneath me, and I had to shield my eyes for a second as I adjusted the sudden light. When I was able to see clearly, I looked down at the floor and looked at the stained glass. It was a huge picture of a person, sleeping and holding what looked like two giant keys, one laying in his hand beside him, and the other across his lap in his right hand. He was wearing a pair of Black DC shoes with white soles and khaki shorts. As I moved up, he was wearing a plain black shirt, and he was wearing a black snapback with a deep blue bill backwards on his head, but it wasn't until I looked at his face that I realized who it was.
"Wait… That's me." I gasped out with confusion etched all over my face
I was looking at a picture of myself, my dark auburn hair showing around the edges of my hat, and freckles occasionally spotting my skin. I wasn't pale, but I wasn't very tan either. And then I looked beside the picture of myself and saw three smaller circles beside my head. Inside two of the circles were the faces of people I knew very well. One of the pictures was of my best friend Kyler, whose family adopted me after my parents passed away when I was very young. We might as well be brothers considering how often we think of the exact same thing at the same time… way too frequently… Besides the fact that he is Filipino and I'm white. His skin is a very dark tan, with short black hair, and brown eyes.
In the circle beside him was another one of my best friends, Jonathan. His skin very light with his bleach blonde hair reaching the back of his neck, also being covered by a hat.
Above their pictures in the third circle though, I don't know who that person was. It was a girl with chestnut brown hair down to her shoulders. She was wearing a pair of black framed glasses. She had deep blue eyes and fair skin.
Before I had any time to look closer at the mystery person, I suddenly heard a voice.
"So much to do, so little time... The door that was shut is being re-opened. Now, step forward."
Confused as to what was happening, I stepped forward, looking for where the voice came from. As I stepped forward, three pedestals rose from the ground around me, and each of them had an object floating above them. Above one was a sword, another, a shield, and the last one was a staff.
"Power sleeps within you... If you give it form... It will give you strength. Choose well."
Examining them all, I decided that a sword was the most fitting for me, so I walked over to it, and took it from its place floating above the pedestal.
"The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction. Is this the power you seek?"
I nod and say aloud, "Yes." Suddenly, the sword disappeared from my hands.
"Then your path is set. Now, what will you give up in exchange?"
Without a second thought, I walk over to the staff and pick it up.
"The power of the mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin. You give up this power?"
Again, I reply with an audible yes.
The pedestals disappeared back into the ground, and in my hands appeared the two giant keys from the picture, and it felt like I suddenly knew what they were called, like it was planted into my brain, Keyblade. In my right was a black Keyblade with red accents all along it, it looked kind of like flames in design at the hand guard, and as it went down the blade, it was in a sort of crisscross pattern, until it got to the teeth of the blade, which were three black spikes.
"Blazing fury"
The other Keyblade looked more like a normal sword. It was a combination of white, and a cool blue color all over. The guard was thin, and this one felt a little easier to move in my hand. The blade was long and thin. Right above the guard there were small spikes coming out of the edge of one side of the blade, before becoming straight again, and repeating at the end of the blade.
"Swift Judgement"
As I examine the two keyblades, I realize that they feel like they were made for me. Not too heavy, but not too light, and they fit perfectly in my hands. I tried swinging them around some, and they felt perfect. Not clumsy or hard to maneuver as some blades tend to be. I had had some practice with swords before, so I at least had a slight idea of what I was doing. Suddenly, the voice was back again.
"You gained the power to fight. There will be times you have to fight. Keep your light burning strong."
I look around and saw a few shadows on the floor with bright yellow eyes, and they came out of the ground. I looked around nervously for a second before forcing myself to calm down, talking aloud to myself as I often do.
"It's okay Garrett, there's only five of them, and they're puny… You got this."
Suddenly, I sprang into action. I leapt forward, and sliced one of the shadows right down the middle with one of my keyblades, before spinning and slashing at another.
"Two down" I stabbed my keyblade through the chest of the third shadow, and ripped it up through its shoulder, only to swing it back down on the next shadow running right at me.
"That's four." Eyeing the last shadow, I charged at it, and sliced it in half with both keyblades.
"And that's five."
As I looked around, everything started fading out as I heard the voice one final time.
"Your journey ahead is a long one, but you won't be alone. Don't forget about those around you. Be strong, and if you ever lose your light, use theirs."
And then I faded into consciousness as I heard my alarm go off, letting out a groan, I got up to turn it off and get ready for school. "Such a strange dream… But it felt so real…"
As I said above, I will link a picture of the two keyblades. I hope you guys enjoyed my first chapter, and hopefully I upload pretty frequently. Again, please review, because I would like to hear what you guys have to say, and any ideas that you might have.
