In the beginning the universe was nothing more than an empty void, there were no plants, no animals, no people, nothing but empty darkness. But then, a beacon of light appeared. a mystical realm that was a source of untold wisdom and unimaginable power, a realm known as Kingdom Hearts. From Kingdom Hearts the stars and the first worlds were created. and from a special event on one of these first worlds, two ancient deities were born: the god of light and the god of darkness. But while the god of light was worship, honoured and respected, the god of darkness was hated and left in the dark both literally and mentally. Thereby, a heated hatred began to form between the two.
Soon, the two deities created two armies of wielders of a special weapon: the Keyblade to clash in the first Keyblade war, only to get the most powerful of all the Keyblades, the X-blade, which was also the only key to control Kingdom Hearts itself. In the end, the god of light managed to get the X-blade and used it to banish the god of darkness and his dark army to the furthest edge of the universe known as the Dark world, or as most prefer to call it, the realm of darkness.
But the god of light knew that another war will came, and so he created new worlds, one of these worlds, named Daybreak Town, was where he trained someone in the ways of the Keyblade, that someone was now known as The master of Masters, who in honour of his own master wrote the Book of Prophecies and trained six apprentices, five of which, who were named The foretellers, trained hundreds of other Keyblade wielders in preparation for the next Keyblade War. But things went wrong when The Master of Masters and one of the six apprentices named Luxu disappeared without warning or trace, causing The foretellers to mistrust each other and started the second Keyblade war on the world known as the Badlands, the same world where the first Keyblade war was fought.
While the battle continued, the god of darkness and his now refreshed dark army returned and joined the fight, as did the god of light and his army of light. For the two gods it was once again a clash to claim the X-blade and Kingdom Hearts, while The foretellers thought that in their own way they could push back the oncoming darkness. But in the end, the X-blade shattered into twenty pieces, seven of pure light and thirteen of pure darkness, and Kingdom Hearts, along with the universe, we're swallowed by darkness.
But then, when all hope seemed lost, beacons of light within the hearts of children and the survivors of the war pushed the darkness away and restored the universe. The god of darkness retreated back to the Dark world with what was left of his army, while the god of light separated the worlds connection from each other and then returned to his home world to recover. The world where the two Keyblade wars had been fought was renamed as the Keyblade Graveyard and because it was the only world that was still connected to Kingdom Hearts, the god of light had created a few more worlds that will serve as a barricade to protect them both before he left, with his strongest Keyblade masters taking the job to guard these worlds.
The story of the Keyblade War passed into legend, the Keyblade was depicted both as a bringer of chaos, death, and destruction, and as a symbol of hope, peace, justice. Although the Keyblade War ended many years ago, the constant battles between light and darkness, good and evil, lingered on across countless worlds. and rumors are telling that the darkness will return and threaten the universe once again.
but there is a prophecy that tells that 'if the dark god returns, and will spread shadow and chaos over the known worlds once more, than three will stand up to face him and his forces, three chosen once who the Keyblade shall choose. The one who has the blood of the all father running through his veins, the one who holds the inner power that holds the universe together, and the one who's heart and bond to those closest to them is strong. Oh, chosen once, may the light in your hearts burn strong, and together, save us all.'
(Station of Awakening)
I've been having these weird thoughts lately… Like is any of this for real… or not?
Tim, a sixteen year old teen boy was floating in a dark void, with no knowledge about what was happening.
He has slightly tinted skin color, brown massy hair that reaches down till shoulder length and with some bangs over the left side of his face, and violet purple eyes with a scar over his right eye. He wore a black tank with a golden eye of Horus symbol on the left side, dark grey cut-off jeans, black lace-less military boots, a dark purple scarf that fades into crimson red at the edges that are ripped, red with black finger-less gloves, and a dark brown woven leather neckless that tangled itself around a purple crystal shard that gave off a soft glow.
Tim opened his eyes and soon noticed something in the distance, a platform began to appear underneath him. The platform was made from shaded yellow stained-glass with the image of princess Belle, the Beast and his servants, Lumière, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts and Chip, on it with every one of them being asleep, except the Beast, and it was glowing with a unknown source of light. Tim slowly descended to the platform and carefully landed on his feet, than he looked around his surroundings, but all he can see is complete darkness.
"So much to do, so little time…" said a voice that came from everywhere and nowhere, it startled Tim for a second, "Take your time. Don't be afraid. The door is still shut. Now, step forward."
Following the instructions given to him, Tim walked to the center of the platform. Once in the center, a stone pedestal rose from the platform on his left with a shield on it. The shield was black with a red border and a red with yellow outlined Mickey Mouse symbol in the center.
"Power sleeps within you," the voice began.
A second pedestal appeared on his right with a magic rod on it. The rod has a green handle with the edges being a tan color, a brown disk on the top of it and a blue Mickey Mouse head on top of it.
"If you give it form…" the voice continued.
Finally, a third pedestal appeared in front of him with a sword on it. The sword has a black with dark blue outlined handle, a golden guard and tip at the bottom half, a silver blade and a red dot with a black Mickey Mouse symbol in the center of the guard.
"It will give you strength. Choose wisely." The voice finished.
Tim looked at the three items and thought about it. He decided to first find out what they mean and then choose. He walked to the sword and held it in his hands.
"The power of the warrior. invincible courage. A sword of great power and terrible destruction. Is this the power you seek?" asked the voice.
"Yes." Tim said. Then, the sword disappeared in a flash of light and blue wisps.
"Your path is set." The voice said, "Now, what will you give up in exchange?"
Tim looked back at the two remaining items, he was unsure which he will give up. He went to the shield and held it in his hands.
"The power of the guardian. Kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel all. Is this the power you wish to given up?" asked the voice.
"No." Said Tim straight away, he didn't want to give that up. He placed the shield back, walked to the magic rod and held it in his hands.
"The power of the mystic. Inner strength. Untold wisdom. A staff of wonder and ruin. Is this the power you wish to given up?" asked the voice.
Tim thought about it for a second, than he answered, "Yes." Just like the sword, the rod disappeared in a flash of light, although the wisps were red instead of blue.
"You've chosen the power of the warrior. You've given up the power of mystic. Is this the form you choose?" the voice asked.
"Yes I do." Said Tim.
Suddenly, the three pedestals collapsed upon themselves. Tim look around to see what's happening, than the floor began to crumble at rapid speed and before he know it, the floor underneath his feet creaks and he fell into the dark abyss.
A moment or two later, Tim noticed another platform below him. This platform had shaded pink stained-glass and depicts three hearts with in each a silhouette of a princess. Tim landed softly on the platform and at that moment a white flash came from his right hand and the sword from earlier appeared.
"You've gained the power to fight. Use this power to protect yourself and others." Said the voice while Tim swung the sword in different patterns to get used to it.
Then Tim noticed a strange looking creature appear from the floor. The creature was about a foot and a half tall and has a black colored vaguely humanoid body structure with a round, spherical head with circular, glowing yellow eyes and two long, twisted antennae sprouting out of the top of its head. Each of its hands has three clawed fingers, and it has large feet.
"There will be times you have to fight." Said the voice as more of these creatures appeared. "Keep your light burning strong."
Tim looked at the creatures who were looking at him inspective and he can already tell that something is not right. Then, just as he expected, the first of the creatures jumped at him. Tim quickly swung his sword and cut the creature in half, it vanished in a puff of black smoke. Tim than noticed that the other creatures disappeared into the platform. What he didn't see was that some of the creatures sneaked up behind him, readying to attack.
"Watch out, behind you!" the voice called out.
Tim quickly turned around to see the creatures attack. He jumped out of the way, but one of the creatures managed to slice his left cheek. Tim held his free-hand on his cheek for a moment, then looked at his hand. To his relief, it was only a scratch.
He then looked up and saw two of the creatures advancing toward him, Tim took them down with a horizontal slash. He then notices another one of the creatures was jumping towards him on his right and jump back, dodging the attack. But he then noticed that he was now dangerously close to the edge of the platform, seeing that there was no other way, Tim charged forward by preforming a sliding dash attack, taking down many of the creatures in the process. Once in the center of the platform again, Tim saw that he was surrounded by eight more of these dark creatures who jumped towards him, he quickly jumped up and the creatures slammed into one another. Tim landed and spun slided the dazed creatures in half, obliterating them into puffs of black smoke.
Tim turned to the last remaining creature, but before he could do a thing, the creature did something he didn't expected. The creature sank into the floor and spread a cloak of darkness across the whole platform. It soon reached him and he began to sink into it as if it was quicksand, he tried to pull himself out, but he was soon swallowed by the darkness.
When he regained consciousness, Tim noticed that he was lying on another platform. This platform had shaded violet stained-glass and had the image of a sleeping princess Cinderella. Tim rose to his feet and looked around, than he noticed a transparent bronze colored door on the edge of the platform. He walked up to the door and began to examine it. The door soon became solid and changed, it was now gold in color and looked more like it belonged to and ancient palace. The door slowly began to open and a bright light shined through it, Tim narrowed his eyes to prevent them for being blinded while he stepped through the door.
When his eyes had adjusted to the light, Tim noticed that he was standing on a wooden balcony that was built on a beach and overlooked an ocean. He also noticed four other figures standing on the balcony.
The first figure was a strong muscular build, handsome locking man in his early forty's with skin color similar to his, golden blonde hear and a small beard, and bright blue eyes. He wore a beige colored t-shirt, brown jacket with golden shoulder plates that a military general would wear, black jeans, brown military boots, a brown belt around his hips and black fingerless gloves. His left arm was covered by a golden piece of armor, and around his neck he has a golden disk that was about 1 inch wide in diameter with a blue sapphire, a yellow topaz, a black obsidian, a green emerald, a white diamond, and a red ruby engraved in it in a hexagon form with a symbol in the center of it. The man was standing in the entrance to the balcony.
The second figure was a beautiful woman in her mid-thirty's. her body was built like an athlete with light-brown skin color, she has jet black, ancient Egyptian style hair and red eyes. She wore a black tight leather crop top that exposed her abdomen, black leather jeans, a white skirt that represented an ancient Egyptian kilt with a golden sash strapped around it as a belt, long point gloves that reached her armpits with a leopard-skin colored patterns, black boots with short heels and around her neck was a neckless made of a golden thread with a golden circle with the eye of Ra symbol. Like the man, the woman's left arm was covered by a golden piece of armor, but hers had emerald green outlines and has a different design. The woman sat on the back railing of the balcony, her right leg crossed over her left leg and her hands on the railing to hold her balance.
The last two figures were a teenaged boy of sixteen and a young girl of five years-old. The teen has pale skin, long black hair and brown-red eyes. He wore black jeans, combat boots, a ripped T-shirt, a gold chain, and a black leather biker jacket. The girl has skin color similar to his with light-brown hair and blue eyes. She wore a green dress with a V-neck, a yellow camisole underneath, and green shoes. The teen was leaning against a wooden wall at the far edge of the front railing, opposite to the man with his arms crossed across his chest with the little girl standing next to him.
"Hold on." The voice said, "The door won't open just yet. First, tell me more about yourself."
Tim walked to the teen and the little girl.
"What is your biggest fear?" the teen asked.
Tim thought about it, he didn't like to be left abended, particular in the darkness, with no escape of it, he answered than, "To be left in the dark, where there is no turning back from."
"That sounds scary indeed." The little girl said with a bit of fear in her voice.
"I agree." The teen said.
Tim turned to the woman and walked up to her.
"What's most important to you?" she asked.
Tim thought about it, it was difficult to think of something that was most important for him. But he did value his friends. "My friends are the most important, I value my friendship above everything else."
"I have to agree. Friendship is indeed very important." The woman said.
Tim than focused his attention to the man.
"What do you want to do in your life?" asked the man.
Tim thought about it, from the beginning he knew that he came from a far different place than where he lived now, so he knew that there are other worlds out there. Also, he had this urge to help those people in trouble. "I want to see other places, other worlds, and help those who need it."
"A fine wish, and a noble cause." The man said.
"You fear to be abended in darkness. You desire friendship. You want to see other worlds and help those in trouble. You are the one indeed." The voice said, "Your adventure begins at midday. Keep a steady pace and you'll come through just fine. The day you will open the door is both far off and very near."
Another blinding light lit up the area, causing Tim to cover his eyes once more. When the light disappeared and he opened his eyes, Tim noticed that he was standing on another platform that was surrounded by darkness. This platform had shaded green stained-glass and depicted a sleeping princess Snow White who had taken a bite of an apple, the seven dwarves and her forest animal friends.
While Tim began look around, the same dark creatures from a few platforms back began to appear. Tim noticed and pulled out his sword, but he soon found himself surrounded by them. he knew from the last attack that these will harm him, and so, he charged forward. Three of the creatures that where in front of him jumped at him, there claws ready to cut him, but they were easily taken down by a horizontal slash of Tim's blade. He then noticed another creature began to advance on his right, Tim quickly turned his sword to it with the point of the blade pointing at the creature, than he trust his sword forward and stabbed the creature in the head. for a moment, Tim saw some movement in the corner of his eye, which distracted him and gave two of the creatures the opportunity to jump at him from behind and slashed his back with their claws. Tim cried out in pain and quickly swings his sword at them, taking them down with a single blow. Tim placed his free hand on his back, than he took his hand back and traces of blood on it. Because of the distraction, one of the creatures had sneaked up on him and sliced his leg, only to earn a sword in its back after hearing Tim's cry of pain. Now leaning on one knee, Tim took a defensive pose as the remaining creatures began to surround him and rushed toward him, and when they got close enough, Tim quickly preformed a spinning slice attack, obliterating them in puffs of black smoke.
The moment the creatures where defeated, Tim noticed a beam of light in the corner of his eye, he turned to it and saw that the beam of light had created a ring of light in the center of the platform. Slowly, Tim limped to the light ring, and when he stepped into it, he felled refreshed and all his wounds faded away. At that point, Tim saw another beam of light moving to the edge of the platform, then suddenly, steps of many colored stained-glass appeared and formed a staircase.
Tim rushed up the stairs untill he ended up on another platform, this platform has shaded red stained-glass with a sleeping princess Aurora depicted on it, with around her the silhouettes of the three good fairy's: Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather above her, and under need her, dark thorns and green flames. The light beam from earlier was now shining in the center of the platform and as if he was in a trance, Tim walked to it.
"The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes." The voice said.
Tim turned around and noticed the voice was right, the closer he got to the light, the more his shadow elongated. Suddenly, Tim's shadow began to move and twitch, catching him by surprises as it rose from the ground.
"But don't be afraid…" said the voice, though it was more distant. Tim started to back away as he watched his shadow begin to transform into something else, "And don't forget…"
Eventually, Tim turned and rushed away, only to come to a skipping halt at the edge of the platform. He then looked back as the creature that his shadow had become rose to its full height. This dark humanoid looking monster was massive in height and muscular build, it had rather short legs with thin feet that curled upward, long, strong arms, two relatively small, twisted wings on its back, a large heart-shaped hole in its abdominal area, on its head where dozens of twisted, black tentacles that served as it's hair, and two small glowing yellow eyes. Seeing no other choice, Tim grabbed his sword and stood in a fighting stance.
The monster took the first move, thrusting its right fist toward him. Tim quickly preformed a cartwheel, dodging the attack just as its fist slammed into the platform. Tim turned around and noticed that the monsters fist was stuck in a black vortex, this gave him his chance and he charged forward. When he reached the monsters hand, he began slicing away at it, causing the monster to grown in pain. Tim than noticed movement in the corner of his eye, and jumped back. It became clear to Tim that the vortex can summon those smaller creatures from earlier, so he began to focus his attacks at the small creatures first. One by one, the creatures fell until only the dark monster was left, but before Tim could strike, the monster broke free and rose back to its feet. It then swung its other hand in Tim's direction, who jumped out of the way as its fist slammed into the platform and get stuck in a dark vortex just like the first time. Tim rushed to its stuck hand and strikes three times at it, causing the monster to grown in pain again, then he noticed that the monsters head was closer to the ground and dashed to it. When Tim came close to the monsters face, he looked into its glowing eyes for an second, then finished the battle with a spinning slice.
The blow was enough for the monster to break its hand free and rose its head up while it roared in pain. Then suddenly, the sword in Tim hand disappeared in a flash of light and he was forced to dodge the monsters incoming hand. Darkness began to spread across the platform and Tim was soon caught by it as he looked up to the monster as it slowly collapsed toward him.
"Don't be afraid." Said the voice in the distance, while Tim tried to pull himself free and the monster came closer, "You hold the mightiest weapon of all. So don't forget…"
Seeing there was no escape, Tim lay down and slowly closed his eyes as he was slowly swallowed by the darkness.
But right before he was completely swallowed, he heard the voice his final words say, "You are the one who will open the door."
(Tim's Room)
Tim slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was back in his own room. He was relieved to know now that it was just a dream, but he was also confused about the dream itself, it looked and feld so real.
"What was that dream?" Tim thought to himself, "So strange…"
Tim than looked out of his window to a small island on the other side of the tropical sea.
"I wonder what the others are doing." Tim thought.
Tim changed into fresh clothing, walked out of his room and took his boot at the mainland beach to the island.
