Untold Legends Vol. 1

By M Starr

Chapter 1: Reincarnated Once More

To many, reincarnation is something people have dreamed of for eons. The chance to fix the mistakes you've done in your past life, a chance to fall in love again and be something greater.

But to this one person, reincarnation is both a blessing and a curse. He is always reincarnated in the land of Hyrule with the hero there. But it seems fate has plans for him.

Now, he is reincarnated in a new world and must save the universe.

His name is Magnus and this is his story.

A heart pumps as a person falls deeper into the abyss, his eyes closed. He stirs awake and manages to right himself before settling onto a dark platform. He looks around and takes a step forward. There is a flash of blinding light as a large flock of birds rise from the platform, flying in all directions and scattering feathers everywhere. He shields his eyes as the wind whips at him. He watches them leave while the last feathers fall. The platform now depicts a girl taking a bite out of an apple. He turns around seeing no one, yet hearing a voice.

"So much to do, so little time... Take your time. Don't be afraid. The door is still shut. Now, step forward. Can you do it?" said a voice.

He takes a few slow steps forward. A light shines down from above as a large stone pedestal rises from the platform in a shower of light and magic. He turns toward it. A red shield blinks into existence, floating above it.

"Power sleeps within you..." he said as another pedestal rises from the platform, a blue staff floating above it. You turn around to face it. "If you give it form..." A third pedestal appears in front of the you, who turns toward it. A metal sword appears in midair. "It will give you strength." He stares ahead at all three. "Choose well."

He runs over to the shield and hold it in his hands. "The power of the guardian. Kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel all. Is this the power you seek?" The voice asked.

Magnus simply nods. Suddenly, the shield vanished from his hand. "Your path is set." Magnus turns around to face the other two weapons. "Now, what will you give up in exchange?"

Magnus approaches the staff and hold it in his hands. "The power of the mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin. Is this the power you seek?"

He nods once again. The staff disappeared. "You've chosen the power of the mystic. You've given up the power of the warrior. Is this the form you choose?" the voice asked.

"Yes." Magnus said.

The three stones suddenly sink into the floor, knocking him back onto the platform. The ground rumbles and he looks around. The edges of the platform crumble off and the platform shatters. He falls through the darkness and land on another platform, this time depicting a girl in a beautiful silver ball gown. The shield appears in his hand.

"You gained the power to fight. Use this power to protect yourself and others." the voice said. It was then something began to appear from the ground as you looked at it. It has a vaguely humanoid body structure. It has a round, spherical head with circular, glowing yellow eyes, two long, twisted antennae sprouting out of the top of its head. Each of its hands has three clawed fingers, and its feet are large and lack any discernible digits. With the exception of its yellow sunken eyes, the body is completely black. "There will be times you have to fight. Keep your light burning strong."

Magnus starts to fight off the Shadows as each one either began to scratch him or jump at him, while he blocked them with the shield and bashed them. They fade back into the floor. One crawls around to his back. "Behind you!" The voice shouted.

He gripped his shield and destroyed it as a black void appears in the center of the platform and you are sucked into it. He bats the darkness away and wake up on a multicolored platform with three silhouettes. He sees a door near the platform edge and walks toward it, examining it. He tried to open it but the door was locked.

A treasure chest appears and he opens it, revealing a potion. He turns around and a large crate and barrel appear. He smashes the items and eventually, the door unlocks and opens it. Light floods out from it and Magnus walks through, squinting his eyes through the bright light. He arrives on a small island bridge where three kids stand quietly waiting.

"Hold on. The door won't open just yet. First, tell me more about yourself." the voice said.

He walks over to a girl leaning against a rope fence. Her name is Selphie. She is a short, thin girl with lightly tanned skin, green eyes, and light brown hair in a peculiar hairstyle, with one large curl on the back of her head and two more on either side. She wears a short yellow dress with overall straps and a large pocket on the chest, a blue beaded bracelet on her left wrist, and brown-strapped tan sandals. She carries a brown-handled jump rope that she uses as a practice weapon "What's most important to you?" She asked him.

"Friendship." Magnus answered.

"Is friendship such a big deal?" she wondered.

Magnus then talk to a boy with a large blue sport ball. His name is Wakka. His skin is tan, his eyes are brown, and his orange hair is spiked with an enormous coif. He wears a pale yellow tank top with black lining and white laces, tipped with green and yellow beads, and baggy yellow pants that close up halfway down his lower legs, each leg featuring a large, grey "X"-shaped strap with blue tips. He also wears green sandals, blue wristbands on each wrist, and small stud earrings.

"What do you want outta life?" Wakka asked.

"To be strong." Magnus answered.

"To be strong, huh?" The tall boy wondered.

Finally, you walk over to a boy with a large red stick in his hand. His name is Tidus. Tidus is a short, thin boy with tan skin, blue eyes, and sandy hair parted down the center. He wears a small, white-lined yellow shirt with short white sleeves and yellow hems; he wears his shirt open, exposing his chest. Tidus's unique, navy pants have uneven legs, with his right pant leg reaching just past his knee, and his left reaching to just about mid-thigh. A zipper circles the longer pant leg at a point even with the hem of the shorter pant leg. The left leg has a diagonal zipper on it, presumably a pocket, and he wears a black fanny pack with the pouch facing forward, showing another diagonal zipper. He also wears yellow and black sandals, and carries a red wooden pole which he uses as a practice weapon.

"What are you so afraid of?" Tidus asked.

"Being indecisive." Magnus answered.

"Being indecisive? Is that really so frightening?" Tidus wondered. After speaking to them, Magnus heard the voice once more.

"You want friendship. You want to be strong. You're afraid of being indecisive. Your adventure begins in the dead of night. Your road won't be easy, but a rising sun awaits your journey's end. The day you will open the door is both far off and very near." The voice said. There is a flash of light and Magnus finds himself on a platform of a sleeping woman clutching a rose. He walks across the platform and are surrounded by Shadows. He defeats them all as quick as he could and a light shines down, producing a glowing green circle, power radiating from it. Magnus stands on the green circle and his cuts and bruises heal. The light splits off toward the edge of the platform and stairs of stained glass appear. He runs up the stairs onto another platform depicting a woman in a yellow dress and a hideous monster.

"The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes." the voice said. Magnus turns around and saw his shadow move after he does. He starts to back away as the shadow pulls itself from the ground, revealing its true form. It became a massive, muscular, humanoid monster with black skin. Its legs are rather short and its feet are very thin and curl upward. Its arms are quite long, and it has two relatively small, twisted wings on its back. There is a large, heart-shaped hole in the Heartless's abdominal area, which penetrates straight through from the front to the back. Its head is covered in dozens of twisted, black tentacles. Only its small, glowing yellow eyes are visible.

"But don't be afraid. And don't forget..." Magnus runs to the edge of the platform, nearly falling off. He turns to face Darkside as it rises to its full towering height, gazing at him with eerie glowing eyes. The shield appears in Magnus' hands and he stares at it, getting ready for combat. Darkside summons a ball of energy and punches the floor. Magnus trembles as a void of darkness appears in the floor, summoning several Shadows. He attacks them, while dodging larger blows from Darkside. As it punches the ground again, Magnus seizes the opportunity and strikes at its wrist. Catching its attention, Magnus jumps back and the shield vanishes from his hand. Terror fills young boy's face as he is left weaponless and Darkside slams its fist into the ground, narrowly missing Magnus. Magnus falls in defeat and a dark void appears under him, sucking him in.

"But don't be afraid." the voice said. The darkness engulfs his legs. "You hold the mightiest weapon of all."
