Ventus' Quest
Chapter 1: Awakening
Load Full StoryNext ChapterHi there! Name's Ventus. Ven for friends. I'm a Keyblade Master trained by Master Eraqus and Master Xehanort. Unfortunaly, Xehanort betrayed me and my friends and tried to kill us all. My best friends are Aqua & Terra. We did our Mark Of Mastery exam together. So introductions aside, let's start the story shall we?
I slowly opened my eyes, giving them time to adjust to the light. When they finally adjusted I quickly went about scanning the area around me. I was in a big circular, light lavender, room. With a white symbol and chains lit to their very end holding it down. I was sitting on a throne with the same pattern as the walls. The throne almost reached to the top of the ceiling. After observing the room I noticed a man watching at me. He wore a hooded, black coat with a large zipper that was open at the bottom. It also had some sort of necklace attached to it. Behind him were 2 big doors. Each had the same white symbol with the lit chain on it.
"H-hello?"
My voice echoed across the room.
"Who are you?" I asked again.
The man ignored me.
"What is this place?"
He kept ignoring me. I couldn't see his face but I could feel his eyes watching me.
"How did I get here? I was at the Keyblade Graveyard!" I shouted, the last part more to myself.
The man finally spoke. "Your friend Aqua brought you here. You slept a long time."
"Aqua! Where is she! Did something happen to her, wait, how do you know her?!"
He turned around and walked over to the doors behind him, without answering any of my question's. He raised his hand and touched the door. Shadows poured from his hand, spreading across the door quickly. Soon the entire door was covered by the shadows! The doors suddenly swung open to reveal a purple darkness crawling with more shadows.
The man walked into it and disappeared.
I stood up and attempted to walk. My legs refused to walk at first but eventually gave in. The air grew colder and colder as I came closer to the doorway. By the time I stood in the door way I had to wrap my arms around myself to keep warm. I glared into the darkness, It felt as though it was sucking me into the dark abyys.
I hesitantly lifted my right foot into the air and held above the darkness. I closed my eyes and let me foot down. There was some sort of invisible walkway. I pulled my left foot over the doorway's bottom and put it down on the invisible walkway. I began making my way forward. With each step I took everything became darker until I could barely see my own fingers in front of myself. With my next step I couldn't see anything at all.
Everything was pitch black, but in the distance I saw a little spot of light. I walked towards and the spot grew larger and larger. By the time I walked to the spot, it was large enough to step through. The light began becoming brighter and brighter. I walked forward into the blinding light and I felt myself passing out, my vision fading away...
"Eeeeeuuuuhhh..."
I opened my eyes and saw some bushes. I pulled myself up from the ground and dusted myself off. I seemed to be in a forest.
"Well, looks like I have to find myself a way out."
I started walking ahead of myself. The air was a bit cold but refreshing. After walking for a while I reached the edge of the forest. I looked up into the sky, and gasped.
"Kingdom Hearts... How is it here? Is Xehanort here?"
The 'moon' was gigantic and shaped like a heart. It shined almost as bright as the sun in the clear sky. I stopped looking at the moon and tried looking for civilization. I stumbeled upon a small cottage up ahead with a decent sized village behind it. Fianlly civilization! I walked over to the cottage and noticed that there was a road leading to town.
'Well that's convienent.' I followed the road until I reached the village then paused, unsure if i should enter or not. Finally I decided to enter the village, I didn't stop walking untill i came across an area which would probably be the town square. No one was out.
I walked to the nearest building and sat down on. 'I could use a nap!' I closed my eyes and whispered "Goodnight." to no one specific.
Whispering, after partially waking up i heard whispering. Slowly I opened my eyes and saw a bunch of... colorful horses looking at me? They all had an image on their rears, One even had a cowboy hat! They were small compared to to other hores, maybe they're ponies? Every single one of them was staring intently at me, so I decided to break to silence.
"Hello." I said while standing up, most of the ponies gasped, others faintd, but a few stayed the same. I stretched my legs and arms, then I snapped my back and got another weird look from the horses, some cringed.
"Can all of you talk?"
"We can!" A green ponies with a lyre on her back answered. 'Well, they sure are happy.'
"Great! But I'll be going now."
Before I could walk off a Pink blur stopped in front of me.
"You're new! You need a welcoming party! Oooh! We could have cake and balloons! This is going to be so great! Don't leave, Please Please Please don't leave!"
The pink pony had a poofy mane and three balloons on her rear. I smiled and let out a small giggle, some of the ponies from the crowd walked away. They determined I was freindly so they're probably not interested anymore.
"I guess I'll stay then. What's your name?"
"I'm Pinkie Pie!"
"And what are you guys called?" I asked the other ponies. Only the green pony, the one with the cowboy hat and a grey pony with a blonde mane remained.
"I'm Lyra!" the green one cheerfully answered.
"Name's Applejack." the one with the cowboy hat answered with a accent of someone I remember from Radiant Garden.
"I'm Ditzy!" the cross-eyed pony said.
"Nice you meet you all. I'm Ventus."
"Say, you wouldn't have happened to see someone like me?" I asked to the group
"There was a meany-weany one here a while ago. He had no hair."
"Master Xehanort! He's here!" I shouted, causing them all to give me nervous looks and some of the others to back. "Pinkie, save the party for when I come back. I need to look for this guy!"
She suddenly looked sad, and for some reason her mane deflated "But...why?"
"I have to deal with him, he has done terrible things. He endangers this world! I need to go, sorry!" I said and ran off, i could hear some protests coming from the cowboy pony, who suddenly grapped pinke.
"Come back soon! I still have a party planned!" Pinkie called out as she was being dragged away.
"Nothing is going to stop me!" I called out
Suddenly i heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and there they were. Heartless.
Four Neoshadows arose from the pools of darkness in the ground. Their eyes were glowing slightly and their blue nerves barely noticeable.
I reached out my right hand slightly opened. In a flash light my keyblade appeared. Overall it was grey, but had a golden handle, three golden stripes in the middle and misshaped flat crown on top.
I shot a look at the group of Heartless. I slowly put my keyblade to my hip's level and got into a fighting stance.
"Bring it." I silently said as i prepared for their attack
