Ties of Fate

Chapter 1

She woke up with a throbbing headache.

"Ow," she complained.

But as she sat up, the pain went away for the surprise of her surroundings. She had never seen any of this before. When she thought about it even, she barely remembered anything.

"Sky," she said under her breath.

That was her name. Her only memory. She didn't know where she was, so stood up to get a better look at her surroundings.

"Whoa, everything is so big and there are so many people," she exclaimed, because of the town square below and the huge run-down castle in the distance.

She stood up and looked down. She seemed to be standing on a shop's roof. She jumped off of the roof, scaring the weapons shop newest clerk, who hadn't gotten used to all of the weird people around the city.

She turned to him and said, "Hi. I know this might sound weird, but what is this town called?"

He didn't answer her and just crouched down behind the counter and hid, seemingly in terror. This confused her, so she didn't talk to anyone else and just walked down a flight of stairs that looked as if it led to more of the town.

"Oh, it's only some houses," she said as she looked around disappointedly.

There was something she didn't notice, though. There were three shadows that had been following her since she had woken up. They had followed her through the town, not daring to attack her in the town because of all the protection in it. She was alone now, though, so they prepared to spring.

Sky was trying to walk up to where some huge and weird-looking tools were. She felt a presence behind her, though. Something dark and evil with a hunger for something that she had. She quickly turned to see what was behind her. She saw three things coming out of the ground. They suddenly pounced on her and she brought her hands up to a guard and felt something appear in her hand. She instinctively felt that this weapon could be used to defeat these entities of darkness.

"You three are going down," she said as she knocked back the first enemy and quickly side-stepped to dodge the other two.

She ran over to the first one, slashing at it as she ran past. It dispersed and went back to where it came from. The second pounced again, so she jumped up and slashed it in halve in the air, and as she fell, jammed the weapon through the third. She laughed at how easy it had been to defeat them.

He walked up and heard someone laughing. Leon walked over to where the laughing was coming from. He saw a young girl, facing the other way, laughing at something. He looked at her hand and had to do a double take because she wasn't supposed to have that weapon. He immediately thought she was a thief and took action.

Sky hadn't looked at the weapon in her hand during the fight. Even now, she barely thought of it. She heard someone yell at her.

"Thief, drop the Keyblade," yelled a man in the distance. She had no idea what he was talking about. The next thing she saw was a fire ball coming at her and knocking her into unconsciousness.
