Chapter 6:
"It is indeed a great responsibility, but others have not the ability you posses. Also, you have a weapon like no other, usually, only the Keyblade can capture hearts, but the FlameBlade can too." Aerith said and stood right in front of me.
"I guess, but why my blade?" I asked looking up at her. She was taller than I expected.
"Because you are the same as Sora, the chosen one." She said.
"Chosen one?" I asked.
"Yes, you are to find and shut the door of each world." She said.
"But Aerith, I thought the world's door is held by a keyhole, not a blade." Said Yuffie.
"Yes that is true, but it also depends on the person trying to close it. And in Izzy's case she has a blade, and when she holds it out in front of the door and herself she will have to strike the air and say 'Door to this world. Shut!' and a beam of light will come from Shana and, the door will be shut. Simple." Aerith said.
"Doesn't sound simple.." I said getting a little discouraged.
"You just gotta have faith!" Said Yuffie.
"It's a little scary though.." I said looking down at my toes. Aerith then put her hand over my head and closed her eyes.
"Be very still Izzy." She said quietly.
"…Ok." I said as quiet as she did and closed my eyes as well. Just then I felt a tingle all over my body, it felt good though.
"Open your eyes." She said sounding like she was very distant. I opened them. I was still in the room, but I felt different. Powerful.
"WOW! You look amazing Izzy! Come here, come here! You have to see yourself!" Yuffie squealed as she pulled me toward a full body mirror.
"You look great hun. I think I did a good job on her." Aerith said with a smile.
I stood in front of the mirror looking at the new me. Amazed by how good I looked. It was like a uniform. But not. It was totally beautiful. "Wow. What'd you do Aerith?" I asked.
"I just simply changed your look. More suited for a long term adventure. No need to know how I did it." She said smiling big.
"Well ok then! My gosh!" I twirled and jumped up and down. I felt really good! I had on a purple and black mini dress with pockets and belts galore. And a black hood. My dark brown hair trailed down my neck. My shoes were also purple and black.
"Now, when you summon Shana, your outfit will turn red and orange. The colors of flame." Aerith said.
" Ok. Thank you so much! So. Where do I start?" I asked getting my self pumped up.
"Don't you want to rest first?" Aerith said sweetly.
"Well. Ok." I said now feeling my exhaustion.
"I'll show her where she can stay for now!" Yuffie said jumping up and opening the door. "Come on Izzy!" She said.
"Coming. Thanks for everything Aerith." I said walking through the door Yuffie held open for me. Yuffie and I walked down a path. She was talking about something but I wasn't listening.
"Oh! I forgot something! Stay right here!" She said as she dashed off.
"Where else will I go?" I said to myself. I looked around. This place was kind of creepy. Colorful, but creepy. I began hearing whispers around me. A shiver went up my spine. I fought against the urge to shriek. I stayed alert while one candle went out.
