Chapter 1
{Aria's POV}
When I came too I found myself on Destiny Island with a boy appearing to be asleep
on the sand not to far away from where I was standing. "Hello?" I tried to call out to
him but he didn't answer me. At first I thought he was just too deep in sleep to hear
me but then a girl scared him awake. "Wake Up!" the girl yelled startling the boy
awake making him jump up and turn around to the now chuckling girl. "Geez Kairi did
ya have to do that?" the boy asked. 'Wait a minute Kairi? I know that name. It's from
Kingdom Hearts. No way!' I thought to myself. "I'm sorry Sora but Riku told me to
find you cause we need to get started on the raft today! Kairi said as the boy, Sora,
nodded. 'Wait Sora and Riku now I definitely know where I am I'm actually here I'm
in Kingdom Hearts! But that's impossible. I had no idea my….my wish!' was what I
thought to myself. "Heh sorry guess I forgot" as Sora finishes speaking he and Kairi
run off to I'm guessing towards Riku after I've tried and failed to get their attention
for the past five minutes and Kairi ends up… running right though me! 'What is going
on here?' I move to follow but I find I can't move. I hear something coming from
beside me and I turn just in time to see a giant wave crash down on me. 'Oh great I
finally get my wish I'm going to die now?' The wave crashes onto me as and sends
me deep into the water I thought I was going to die but I found I could breathe under
water. The water seemed to lead me to a platform of stained glass that showed a
young girl in a yellow, blue, and red dress who appeared to be asleep surrounded by
7 smaller circles and in it were men. 'No dwarves' my mind supplied. 'It's Snow White
and the Seven Dwarves.' Suddenly the ground rumbled as three pillars rose up from
the ground upon which was a sword on the right pillar, a staff in the middle pillar, and
a shield on the last one on the left. 'Now doesn't this feel a bit familiar' I thought to
myself sarcastically. "You have power within you Child" I hear a voice in her head
say. "Who's there?" I asked. "All will be explained in time" the voice said again.
"Choose one then one of the others you shall give up as tribute" the voice finished as
I looked upon the pillars to make my choice. "The power of the warrior invincible
courage but also the power of destruction" Aria gently grabbed the sword with her
hand and it and the pillar vanished. "Now choose one as tribute" the voice said. I
walked over to the middle pillar and looked to the staff. "The power of the mystic
inner strength a tool of many wonders but also many ruins" The voice supplied as I
shook my head and walked over to the last remaining pillar. "The power of the
guardian the kindness to aid your friends and the power to repel all foes" the voice
said and I made my choice. I would be offering the shield as tribute. I grabbed hold
of the shield in both hands and heard the voice once more. "Are you sure with your
choice of tribute?" the voice asked. "Yes I am sure of my choice of tribute" I replied
to the voice. The shield then vanished from my hands and the glass started cracking
then shattered completely making me float down to another stain glass platform only
this one was violet with the picture of another woman wearing a sparkling dress.
Then several small black creatures with yellow eyes emerge from the ground. Almost
immediately after two swords end up in my hands with the voice once more
returning. "You have gained the powers to fight use them now to defeat the shadows
before you" is what I heard the voice say in my head as the shadows attacked. I
gained a look of determination as I blocked an incoming attach with my left sword
before using my right sword to slice it in half making it vanish in a puff of black
smoke. I then turned to the others and proceeded to slice them in half using my
swords. After a few more shadows were defeated they sunk back into the ground
covering the platform in black goop. 'Oh oh' I thought. "Crap." I fell into the goop no
matter how much I tried not too and blacked out. When I came too after a while, I
think, I awoke on another platform this one of pink glass which had three silhouettes
on it. Something had me on edge because I immediately started looking around and
sure enough all of a sudden even more shadows appeared and attacked. "Oh come
on!" I once again use my dual swords to attack them and dispatch them all easily.
After finishing the last one stair's appear at the edge of the platform leading up to
another. I let out a deep breath as I make my way to and up the stairs The stairs
lead me to a platform yellow in color with the picture of a girl and a beast by her
side. 'Beauty and the Beast' my mind supplied after allowing myself a second of
distraction before once again being on guard. And it's a good thing I did cause the
voice came back. "Remember even the brightest light gives a shadow" the voice
advised as I turned around and watched my shadow grow and morph into an ugly
creature. "And the closer you get to the light the greater your shadow becomes" I
heard the voice say as I started to back away in fear as that "thing" steeped towards
me. "But fear not for you have the strength to vanquish the shadows within you" I
heard the voice say and hearing that gave me courage as my confidence grew. I
looked defiantly at the creature and using my duel swords, attacked the creature and
the other shadows that spawned around it. I slashed its legs before cutting down
another shadow that thought to cut me down from the back though my shirt did rip a
bit as the monster swung its arm down to me and I rolled out of the way since it
caught a bit of my shirt. I then jumped ontothat thing's arm and ran up it the monster
tried to swat at me but missed as I jumped into the air and plunged both my swords
into its chest and slid down its entire body making that thing roar in pain. I then
jumped back and rolled away from the monster falling as it crashed into the floor. I
took a breather after making sure the thing was down and rested panting slightly
after that since that fight was exhausting. "I wondered where I go next?" I asked
myself as I saw a door open up I walked over towards it and through the door I
saw…Sora! It was him, standing on the pier looking out to see. I took a long look
through that door just watching Sora look at the waves. I didn't pay attention to
anything as a slight blush appeared on my cheeks. I probably should have though
because that monster wasn't as down as I had thought it was. The door slammed
shut as I heard a noise behind me and turned to see the giant shadow get up and
cover the whole platform in darkness and both it and I were swallowed up by it. I
screamed before blacking out after struggling and failing to get loose. I woke up with
a scream and found myself back in my room. I let myself just collapse onto my bed.
"I guess it was just a dream. Or just a nightmare." I got up and after discovering I
slept in my clothes again I went to take a shower. But when I passed my closet door
which had a floor length mirror on it I saw my shirt torn in the exact spot from where
it was torn by that monster. I freaked and after getting another outfit similar to the
one I wore now I went into the bathroom to take a shower. As I stood under the
showerhead and let the water run down my body I thought back to the dream. 'Could
it have been real? Could my wish on that star have done this? After all my shirt was
torn both in the dream and after so that's proof right?' I thought to myself as i slowly
just scrubbed my body absentmindedly. After finishing my shower and toweling off
my body and hair ringing out my hair so there was no excess water I got dressed in
my brand new black skinny jeans with chains on the right side, my red spaghetti
strap shirt, my studded black belt, my black studded wrist cuffs on both wrists, a half
shirt sleeved black sweater hoodie, my black ankle boots, with black eyeliner, berry
flavored lip gloss. I was going to leave to the kitchen like that to the kitchen but I
decided to change the spaghetti strap shirt from the red one I choose to a blue one
instead. After leaving I felt a rumble and ran outside to see what was going on. At
first I imaging it cause nothing seemed to be happening. But then I turned around
and saw several shadows emerging from the ground. I gasped. "No" I whispered.
"What's going on? I thought it was just a dream?" I said as the shadows got closer.
I'm ashamed to admit that I just watched in horror as they came closer down the
street as my mind tried to compute that this wasn't a video game. This was…real. I
finally snapped out of it and a bright light emulated from my body making the
shadows back away. When the light died down I found I held an object in each hand.
When I looked down I saw that I held two…Key Blades… actual real life Key Blades.
One appeared to be the Kingdom Key as it was in the game while the other as just
like the Kingdom Key but the hilt was Robin Egg Blue like my shirt. 'This is so cool but
I don't have time to dwell on it now.' I stared down the shadows for a bit then
charged the shadows who in turn charged at me. I attacked the shadows slashing and
cutting them with my duel Key Blades making each and every one of them vanish in
clouds of black smoke. It wasn't long before I had gotten rid of every single one of
the shadow creatures. Now that the fighting was done with I finally looked down at
my duel Key Blades. After checking how cool they were as I took a break I began to
think this further proved my dream was real. After admiring them for about 5
minutes I realized something bad. "My brother and his friend they don't know!" I
shouted after realizing. I was about to run down the street to warn them of the
danger when I heard a noise behind me and turned to see the giant shadow creature
behind me. Almost as if on instinct I slashed at the giant with both my Key Blades
making it look down at me as it tried to stomp on me but I jumped back and kept
attacking the monster. "This guy is way tougher than last time" I said to myself as I
jumped back while the giant move towards me. "How can I beat this guy?" I asked
myself. "I don't' know but I have to try!" I answered myself as I attacked once more.
I avoided the giant arm and jumped high in the air bringing both her Key Blades up
and driving them into the thing chest making it roar loudly in pain. I felt myself fall as
the thing vanished in black smoke and flipped midair landing slightly crouched on my
feet. I wanted to celebrate my victory but you know what they say: "Don't count your
chickens before they hatch". The ground started to split and crack as a portal opened
in the sky and lucky me I got pulled towards it. I tried to hold onto something but I
lost my grip and got pulled towards the portal in the sky as it closed taking me to
someplace unknown. And the worse thing about all this was that the last thing I saw
before that portal fully closed was my world disappearing before my very eyes. I
guess it is true what they all say: "Be careful what you wish for… You just might get
it."
