The Twin Keys
Chapter 2: Dark Encounter
I opened my eyes to see nothing but darkness. The headache had subsided. Was I dead? The headache couldn't have been that deadly, could it? When I finally realized I was falling that was when I freaked out. But I couldn't scream. I saw below a platform that looked like a church window. Just as I thought I was going to fall. I flipped over gently and as floated down I saw Luz in front of me surprised to see me. She hugged me and tried to talk but couldn't. So she mouthed them to me. She asked "What are we?"
"Either dead or dreaming" I said with a sarcastic look on my face. Suddenly a voice in my head spoke
"The time has come to fulfill your destiny" It said. Two new wielders have been chosen and those two are you. Now choose your weapon ". As it said that last phrase three pedestals rose up. One had a shield, another one had a sword, and the last one had a staff. I instantly ran for the sword while my sister went for the staff. But as we picked up our weapon they disappeared. In my mind I said "What the heck"! "Patience" said the voice. A few seconds later a giant black key popped in my hand. In Luz hand was a completely different giant white key. "Light and darkness, different in so many ways, but the same in one aspect. They are infinite. There is nothing you can't do with either. Now fight !" Suddenly, black creatures rose up from the ground. I didn't what to do, but part of me somehow did. I charged and sliced one like butter, but another one came. I could tell this was going to be a long dream.
