Okay, this is a new book that I, Xriah, founder of Keyblades United ©, am writing. The work is mine, the characters are mine; I OWN THEM AND THE PLACES THEY GO. =)

This is going to generally be more of a story for teens, mostly teenage girls because of the more girly scenes that happen along the way, but it will also be good for boys, because the hero in this story…. He just kicks ass =D

~*~ Here I would say 'Disclaimer'… But I own this stuff, so I do not need one =3 Instead, I'm just going to have a few of the main characters say hello…. ~*~

Rhiannon: Hello, I'm the heroine, not a drug, and I'm slightly depressed because I have to be the damsel in distress…… T-T

Skylar: Hi, I'm Rhiannon's boyfriend……. I'm not aloud to say anything else because Xriah doesn't love me as much as she loves the other characters… T-T

Xriah: not true….. You're just based off of my ex-boyfriend so I'm partial to dislike of your name. =P

Keir: I'm the hero of the story…. And I apparently am a good kicker of the asses. My name means Darkness…… and Xriah thinks that it might give a an idea about my character. O.o I'm not aloud to say anything other than that.

Xriah: I won't be having this little bold thing in all the chapters unless I feel like being mean or if I need to leave notes. I've been told that making my faces such as =P is very unlike a writer… but I find that it's a good way to express my feelings. I don't really believe that I'm any less of a writer if I make these faces, and really, they are quite easy to ignore! ^-^ Thankies!

ON WITH THE STORY! ~*~

~*~ ~*~ ~*~

It was dark, a strange sort of twilight over a forest somewhere under ground. A rustle broke out through the bushes next to a cave, and a giant sort of creature trotted out of the woods.

"Aye! Ogre! Get back here and fight like you say you can! You have destroyed too many families and your time is up, Great Thorn!" said a boy, looking no more than seventeen. His amber eyes were glowing slightly in the darkness as he walked out behind the great ogre, his sword in hand.

The ogre, presumably the 'Great Thorn' that the boy spoke of, broke into a run into the cavern, soon out of sight to any mortal's eye. But the boy could still see him, and he chased after with blinding speed.

"You won't be leaving me that easily!"

~*~

On the other side of the cavern, a few blocks from the park, a girl was getting ready for bed. She was in her pajamas and crawled into her bed, a slight yawn escaping her. She reached over to the floor beside her bed and turned off the lamp, letting the room fill with darkness as she began to sleep. About an hour later, after she was well drifted into her sleep, her window creaked open and the large ogre clambered into the room, devastatingly soundless for one so big.

He laughed lightly to himself as he spotted the girl. "I shalt have this wench for a midnight snack!" he announced, reaching down to grab her. But he flinched very noticeably as the boy turned on the lights. The ogre quickly backed up, grunting and rubbing his eyes from the pain of the light.

The boy smirked. "You shall not eat her…. You have already had your last meal." He said, sliding between the beast and the girl.

Then, the girl's eyes fluttered open and she abruptly sat upright, her brown-golden eyes wide as she spotted the two figures.

She remained silent, though many other teenage girls would have screamed or fainted if they woke up to find a teenage boy in there rooms…. Let alone one that had his sword raised to an ogre.

The boy, conscious that the female had awoken, and of the fact that this world was not his own, for he had never seen a light giving contraption such as that before, decided to make the kill quick. He rushed in, sword raised, and drove the blade into the ogre's gut.

The monster gave a small wail, struggling to bat the young warrior away. "Back away, Filthy mutt! I am starvin' for human meat!" And with that, he knocked him aside, going clumsily towards the girl.

She practically jumped backwards off of the bed as the large ogre ran toward her. "I-I don't taste good…." She said, though she knew what a feeble attempt it was, she continued to find reasons for him not to eat her. "I-I-I mean really… look at me! Not much muscle here… I wouldn't make much of a meal… not even a snack!" she said.

But she suddenly saw the boy running up behind the ogre, and he quickly lobbed off the poor beast's head. The ogre, contrary to what would usually happen when something just got its head cut off, simply disappeared. It was there nevermore, as if it never really was there at all.

The other figure had his back turned to the girl, placing the blade lightly in its sheath, and as the boy turned, the girl slowly fainted. But he was quickly by her side, to make sure she did not hit the floor, and he lifted her onto her bed.

As he touched her though, her body started to glow, and a look of pure wonder adorned his face. A purplish sort of light danced around the room and he gently pulled the blankets over her. He walked over and sat against the wall, grinning lightly to himself.

"Heh…. I finally found it…." He murmured as he eyed the young girl closely, "I finally found the Jewel of Fate…"
