Chapter One: Lost Light
The day was coming to an end when two pupils were still training. Wielding a Keyblade was their destiny since they came here. Weapon that protects balance of Light and Darkness, choose that girl and boy to wield it.
Terra: *showing off* I’m gonna be Keyblade master! *casts the spell*
Aqua:*deflecting the spell* Dream on! You can’t even hold your Keyblade right.
Terra: *sadly* Yeah, you’re right. I can’t even cast a right spell.
Aqua: Oh, Terra. I didn’t mean to make you sad… I just…
Terra: You don’t need to say it. After all it’s getting late. Let’s just finish for today.
Aqua: Ok…
They both went to their favorite spot, Summit. Place was just perfect for watching starts in nighttime. Sometimes even Meteor Shower appeared. Night was clear on that day and many stars were seen. Aqua and Terra laid down, watching the stars.
Aqua: So many stars…
Terra: So many worlds…
Aqua: What do you mean by that?
Terra: Master said that every star is another world.
Aqua: I thought he said that every star is connected to one person.
Terra: Well…
Eraques: You’re both right.
Aqua and Terra:*surprised* Master? What are you doing here?
Eraques: I wanted to send you two in bed. It’s already late… but since the night is so clear… we can wait a bit more.
All of them watched the stars now, staring into one big sky.
Terra: So stars are worlds and connected to one person?
Eraques: That is correct. Every star holds responsibility of the Heart. Everyone haves one.
Aqua: All stars seem so similar… wait! What’s with that one?
One of the stars suddenly started blinking.
Eraques: Weird… stars don’t usually blink just all the sudden. Something must be wrong.
Aqua: What do you mean, Master?
Eraques: I’m not sure, but I’ll found out.
With those words he ran back to castle.
Aqua: We should go in bed too.
Terra: Yeah, man I’m tired.
After some time pasted, Eraques was talking to the mystical orb.
Eraques: Yen Sid… if you can hear me… there’s a blinking star in the sky. Why does that mean? Is a world or a person in danger?
Answer came soon after that.
Yen Sid: I’ve been watching that star for a while. But it isn’t a world or a person. It’s complete mystery.
Eraques: Do you know anything else about this star?
Yen Sid: All that I know is that its light is slowly fading away. It’s also very attracted for darkness, so I think Darkness will attacked it as soon as it finds it.
Eraques: Do you know where it is?
Yen Sid: It’s very hard to say… but it looks like it’s for a world with an ocean.
Eraques: An ocean?
Master’s thoughts were traveling back in his young years. Back when he was still apprentice, along with a boy who Eraques thought he’s his friend. Boy did resemble the figure of the friend, but as the years passed he became more and more estranged. In the end, right after Mark of Mastery Exam they both choose completely different paths. Eraques decided to stay home and teach other apprentices to become Keyblade Masters one day, while his friend decided for a journey through endless Lanes Between. He hasn’t seen him since then. But one thing was clear. His friend said that he came from the world with a small island, encased by magnificent ocean. That thought quickly made him call his apprentices.
Eraques: *makes a bell sound, calling Aqua and Terra to come in the main room*
The moment he touched mystical orb, bell started ringing all over the place. Noise was so laud that it totally kicked Terra out of his bed.
Terra: What the… *looks on clock* It’s 1 AM!!! Is Master crazy or something?
He quickly got up and put his clothes on. During that, blue haired head peeked into his room.
Aqua: Did you hear the bell?
Terra: The hell I did! Master’s insane, calling us right now! We just went in bed an hour ago!
Aqua: Calm down. Perhaps he only needs to tell us something. Like that day, remember? When he woke us up at 2 AM, cuz he needed to tell us something.
Terra: Yeah, but that was “good night” and nothing else!
Aqua: Look, let’s just go down and listen to what he has to say.
Terra: *sighs and leaves the room*
Eraques was nervously walking up and down, thinking about the mission he’ll give to Terra and Aqua. He knew it may be dangerous, but he also couldn’t let this star down. Everyone deserves to live and Keyblade wielders are meant to protect it. When Terra and Aqua finally appear, both yawing, Master sighed and began his speech.
Eraques: We Keyblade wielders are meant to protect the balance between Light and Darkness. But as we speak, darkness is searching for weak light that is slowly fading away. It could be anything for darkness’s pleasure of destroying it. So, here’s your very first mission to do. Find that light and bring it to me.
Terra: But Master, it’s the middle of the night.
Eraques: If we wait till the morning, Heartless will destroy that poor light for sure. And that light is a blinking star we saw before. We don’t have much time.
Aqua: Master’s right, Terra. We better hurry! *pulls Terra’s hand*
Terra: What if we’re not ready? Those armors and gliders…
Aqua: Oh, come on! We spent enough time of training. It’s time for some action!
Eraques: *smiles* You should listen to her. I like her style.
Terra: Not you to… *looks on Aqua’s angry face* Fine, fine… let’s go.
Pupils waved their goodbyes and went outside. Soon after, their armors covered both of their bodies. Only thing left was the portal.
Aqua: Terra, if you be so nice…
Terra: *smiles* My pleasure!
He raised his keyblade up, concentrating all of his energy from the heart into sky. Portal made of light was there. As the pupils prepare their gliders, Master sadly looked into a blinking star one more time.
Eraques: You need to find a world of a small island encased by sea. Now go, don’t waste your time any longer.
Aqua: We won’t return until we find that light.
Terra: Yeah… wait what?
But Aqua already disappeared in the light portal. Terra sighed as he entered in it as well.
Terra: That will be a loooooong night.
He quickly found her, on her silvery blue glider. She was flying towards the little a bit shiny spot in lanes between. World with an ocean soon became bigger and bigger, until it became that big that they could enter. It didn’t seem special, duo to the dark night and invisible beach. They hardly saw anything.
Aqua: Let me do the trick.
She raised her keyblade, casting a light spell. Shiny keyblade helped them a lot. They could recognize sand, sea with calm sound and even some seashells on the ground. Aqua went forward while Terra followed. He had the weirdest feeling in his head. Like there’s someone watching them.
Aqua kept moving forward until she saw a palm like tree. There was something on it, whispering almost calling for help.
Aqua: Did you hear that?
Terra: What?
Aqua: Never mind.
Whispering voice wasn’t real, it was just the voice of the wind, blowing through the white thing on the tree. Aqua was about to see what it is, when blackness appeared all around them.
From it, disgusting black creatures were coming. Terra and Aqua started fighting with them, but some of them managed to reach the tree.
They both watched in horror, how black creatures attacked white thing on the tree.
