Chapter 1: Rebirth

In a far away place, a big castle with a strange heart drawn in it, some people were gathered, the castle was of a creepy look and there where strange little black creatures in every place. In the top room of the castle, it seemed like a battle had taken place recently. In it, a boy was on his knees talking desesperately to an unconscious girl while two other guys where just looking at the boy, sadly.

The boy, watching his best friend unconscious in the floor, or at least, that was what he wanted, but she really wasn't unsconscios... The boy was dressed with red shorts and shirt with a black jacket, with brunette and spiky hair and blue eyes as the sky. He was aproximately 14 years old.

The girl's hair was red and short, she wasn't too tall and was dressed with a white shirt and a pink short under a skirt of the same color. Her beautiful blue eyes were hidden by her closed eyelids.

The friends of the boy, strangely a white duck with blue clothes like those of a magician and a black dog dressed with green shirt and brown pants and a shield, they both looked how his friend was trying to wake up the girl.

-He said Kairi's heart was inside me. A Keyblade which unlocks people hearts.

The boy whispered, as he was taking a strange sword from the floor, he get on his feet while he was looking to his friend with a last smile. He finally lifted the sword and pointed it to his chest. The duck as soon as he saw what his friend was doing, he ran toward him shouting his name.

-SORA!

As soon as the sword made contact with his chest, a shining light glowed the room as many balls made of light escaped from the boy, finally a last ball came out and went toward the girl and got inside her and instantly the girl opened her blue eyes.

As she was sitting on the floor, she set her sight to the boy as he was falling back, se rapidly shouted his name and ran to his aid but as soon as she made contact with it, he disappeared.

-I'm falling, falling, into darkness.

That was the last boy's thought. He opened his eyes, but he could only see darkness as he was falling in an eternal abyss. He closed his eyes again, he suddenly started forgetting everything, important and minor things til' he finally felt relaxed.

He closely opened his eyes finding himself in some kind of forest, it seemed like night was just a few hours for coming, he felt confused, what was that place? He got on his feet and looked everywhere.

-Where am I? And... who am I? – he thought

He watched his clothes, white pants, black shirt and a white jacket. Some kind of necklace and black shoes. As he wondered where he was, he started walking through the forest as his mind worked to find out an answer for his questions. After a few minutes of walking, he reached a big mansion surrounded by high walls and only a gate for entering. He tried opening it but was closed.

-What's happening? Why can't I remember anything? –he whispered, those were his first words since he woke up.

Suddenly, a starnge noise caught his attention, near him, some kind of dark portal was in front of him, from it, a strange person in black coat emerged and got face to face with him, but he couldn't see his face because of the coat. The boy set his sight to the floor, now he was even more confused, but the voice of the mysterious person caught his attention.

-Axel was right, you must be his Nobody. You must have a lot of questions, but if you come with me, you can have all the answers you want.

-I should? –he whispered

-You want to stay here? If you stay, all that awaits you is death. Soon, very soon, strange creatures will start attacking you, and if you don't know how to defend yourself, they'll kill you.

The boy listened to his words, he didin't like how that sounded, but then the man started talking again.

-You seek answers.

The boy nodded

-I can give you a purpose.

The man passed his hand near the boy's face and some mysterious letters appear infront of him with the name "Sora". The letters started turning around the boy's head and the man set his hand again adding an "X" forming a new sentence.

-Roxas. –the boy read

-That is right, the new you.

The boy for the first time saw the man's face. He had orange eyes with with long hair. The man turned back as he snapped his fingers, a new portal appeared and another man came out from it with the same coat, however, this one didin't had his face hid, his hair was red and very spiky, with green eyes and with purple marks under them,

-Axel, you take care of the kid. Teach him all the necessary things he should know. –With this, the man went through the portal and disappear.

-Man, Xemnas can be very annoying sometimes. –the man talked

-Xemnas, is that his name? –the boy asked

-Yep, Got it Memorized? And what's yours?

-Roxas, I guess.

-Ok man, I'm your babysitter for today so come with me. I'll teach you everything you should know, just as the boss said. –the man started walking but Roxas didin't follow him, he looked at him with distrust.

-Hey what's wrong? You don't trust me? –Roxas shook his head

-Should I? I don't even know your name.

-Is that so? It is Axel. Now come with me. –The man started walking again, Roxas had doubts if he should follow him or not, but he finally did.

Axel spent the rest of the day teaching Roxas everything he should know, he took Roxas to a small town that lied near the forest. Hours passed by and after he taught all that was necessary, Axel took Roxas to the highest building in the town, a clock tower with a spectacular sight.

-Man it's almost night, you hungry? –Roxas silently nodded

-Oh, that means is Ice Cream time. Wait here and don't move I don't want you to fall, if that happens the boss would kill me.

Axel opened a portal and left Roxas alone, the boy started wondering why does guys had so interset in him, was he special? He doubted it, but that was better than to be alone and with no idea of what to do next.

After a few minutes, Axel came back with two blue ice creams, he hand over one to Roxas as he started eating his.

Roxas looked curious at the ice cream as he touched it a little with it tongue.

-What's wrong? –Axel said with a little laugh

-It's cold, is that normal? –Axel laughed

-Yes it is. That's why it's called Ice Cream. Come on, taste it,

Roxas finally started tasting the ice cream, it had a strange sweet and salty flavor. He didin't like it at first, but then he got used to it.

-So, how is it?

-It's salty, but sweet too.

-I know, it is called Sea-Salt Ice Cream, got it memorized? –the boy nodded

-And how do you do that? That black thing which you use to transport.

-Oh, that's called a Dark Corridor, and, as you said is used to transport from one place to another really fast. Don't worry, someone will teach you how to do them.

Roxas finished his ice cream and then he enjoyed the beautiful sight of the town.

-What's this place called?

-The town? It's called Twilight Town.

-It's pretty.

-Yes it is. You know something Roxas, at first I thought it was annoying to teach you everything, but it was funny. At least you aren't stupid. Trying to teach something to a stupid guy is terrible, really.

-Umm... Thanks, I guess.

-Well, its late. Time to go home.

Roxas wondered, home? Axel opened a dark corridor and invited Roxas to it step in it. After he did, Axel followed him and the corridor disappear.
