Chapter 2 - Awakening
In her dream, Aqua had first appeared on an island, as she'd hoped. But as soon as she stepped toward the water, she was pulled down by some unseen force into a dark abyss.
Aqua tried to scream, but no sound came out. A bright blue light was shining just in front of her. She looked into the light and was blinded. When it cleared, she was standing in the center of a giant, glowing, bright blue circle.
"Young child, you've come," a voice said. It sounded like a male and female voice speaking in unison.
"Who's there?" Aqua asked.
"I am no threat to you, dear girl," the voice(s) said. "Do not fear. Now, I want you to make a choice." Three more lights glowed around Aqua, one in front and the other two to her sides. Three small stages appeared under the lights, disappearing to reveal three new items. The right stage had a shield on it, the one in the middle had a staff with a blue orb on top, and the left stage had a sword on it.
"A choice?" Aqua asked.
"There is a power sleeping deep in you. Give it a form and you will gain strength. Now, which skill will you take? The shield is a guardian's power, you will be able to aid your friends with it. The wand is a symbol of magic, the power of the mystics and inner strength. The sword, however, is one many before you have chosen. It represents warrior strength and great courage. It is your choice, and you may only choose one… Choose wisely."
Aqua approached the shield and felt its kind aura. It felt decent in her hand when she picked it up, but it didn't feel right. Putting it back, she walked over to the sword next and touched it. It radiated with an aura of courage. Taking a quick swing with it, Aqua instantly chose to put it back. That left… the wand.
Walking away from the sword, Aqua tentatively walked to the wand. When she touched it, the wand glowed and she felt energy rising inside her. Aqua smiled. The wand felt right.
"The mystic's power…" the voice said. "Is this what you choose?"
"Yes," Aqua said. "I choose the wand."
"Very good, child," the voice said. "You've gained the power to fight. With this, you shall become strong."
Suddenly, the sword and shield disappeared. The wand, however, glowed and changed shape. It became a giant key-shaped sword. It was bluish-purple in color with a silver guard around the handle she was holding. The teeth were strange looking, shaped like a snowflake almost. And a strange keychain was dangling from it. The chain links looked like blue water drops and another water drop was on the end. All in all, Aqua thought it was pretty.
"This Keyblade will guide you along your destiny, Aqua," the voice said. "With it, you will have to fight, but you must use it to defend others and the worlds. Good luck, and allow your light to shine brightly through all darkness."
Aqua was shocked enough that this strange voice knew her name, but what it just said about this… Keyblade and light… It was strange. However, she was unable to ask anything because she was engulfed in a gentle wind of petals and her dream ended.
Aqua opened her eyes wide and bolted up in bed. That dream had really startled her. What did it mean? And that Keyblade… what was it?
Then, she heard a scream outside. She sat up and went to her window. The sky was dark and it was raining. Pouring, actually. She saw a shadow move in the corner of her eye and looked at it. She saw a shape with dark blue hair, her father, in the yard trying to swat at some dark… thing. She couldn't see it.
Aqua pulled on her clothes and darted outside. "Daddy!" she called when she got to the front door. When she saw the black monster her father was fighting, Aqua screamed. It was the same size as a full-grown man, shadowy, and had eerie yellow eyes that just about scared her to death.
There's chapter two. Hope you enjoyed.
Hey, about the voice in the Awakening, I put that it sounds like a male and female voice because I figured it would just be neat. Plus, I don't know what the voice sounds like. No one does. I just have my theories about it.
