As I woke up, I realized that I was in an unfamiliar world, filled with colors, objects, and buildings that looked different than what I was used to. Certain things were darker, other things were lighter, but the day, yes, the day, was very, very bright. So, I wondered around the city who's name I had yet to figure out. I eventually got lost, and continued for a while hoping to find a way back to where there were a lot of people.After a while, maybe an hour or two, but no more I had found a sign that read, "Radiant Garden." It was an interesting name, unfamiliar, but still interesting.Then as night had fallen, I found a place to sleep, it was on the hard ground/road, but at least, I could sleep.
End of Day 1
Start of Day 2
As I woke up, I was,still obviously very,very lost. So I eventually got up and started walking around the alley ways, knowing that I was getting even more lost, as with each alley I went through,I passed fewer and few people. Then after a while I heard a voice,that sounded high up, ask,"New to this world?"
After that, I heard something hit the ground, and as I turned around a man with eyes I had never seen personally before had appeared behind me and continued, "Lost souls of all kinds seem to be popping out of the shadows lately. Do you require any aid?".
It made me jump a bit to see someone fall maybe 15, 20 feet and not get hurt. I answered him telling him I was lost, and honestly I could use a guide. I wondered how he got down that height and not hurt himself, I then introduced myself. He said his name was Vito Feralborn, he then introduced his pet-animal-ish things. His bird was Avas, his snake was Sythe, he then pulled out a lion from a gem, which was weird to me,and said the lion's name was Leon. He then asked if my world, was attacked by darkness, after that he said alot of people saw that happen to their own world.
Then for some reason it reminded me of the dream that I had, and I had wondered what that was about and if it had any significance. But, I decided not to ask/tell him about it incase it was only me. the weird thing was I didn't remember Azreal teaching me how to put spirits into gems.
A couple seconds later, a black haired boy about my height came over to us, asking if Vito had said something about darkness. Before Vito started talking to the other guys, he told me about how people often lose their world to darkness, and also about his people and their ability to capture and tame animals . I thought it was pretty cool how they could do that. he also mumbled something about young heroes or something.
He then turned towards the black haired teen, and said "You are correct young sir, pure darkness given form apparently called the 'Heartless'. I suppose you've had the misfortune of engaging such monsters." He then introduced him,his animals, and me. Then he asked the stranger his name.
The boy replied after looking terribly deep in thought, "Lucas but you may call me Luka if you wish."
Lucas then asked what we knew about the heartless. I told him that I could kill them with my sword, but the more I killed the more that came afterwards. I then remembered my past as a knight, I was the only non-violent one there really. The rest often bragged about thieves they had beaten or how they solved abusers with abuse. I had never had to draw my sword on a person, I always talked them into going peacefully, I had never really drawn my sword though, except for sparring with Azreal, and my fellow knights and I intend on keeping it that way if I can. I only had to draw my sword to really fight once and that was against what I now know are called heartless.
I then started wondering about whether or not this place had had a high magician and a tavern. So I asked Vito about that, he told me that there was a magician here, but he said he wasn't sure if he could help me though because apparently magic works differently in each world. I then remembered I had also asked if he knew where a bar or tavern was.
He said he didn't know where the magician was exactly, but he did know of a place where they could eat and sleep. On our way to the inn Lucas had asked how Vito and I had become "strong." I had told him it all depended on who you were and how you were raised. Vito said his way of strong was balance in all four ways of the body, Lucas said about the same thing. As we got to the inn, Vito said it's name was The Keyblade's Chosen.
I walked in and noticed there was no one there, or so it seemed, mainly because it was quiet, Lucas said the same. Then when Vito mentioned something about them cooking dinner, I then noticed that there was slight noises of the clinging and banging of pots and pans.
I then remembered that most inns, where I was, took gold or items worth of trade. I showed Vito what I had and asked him
if it might cover it. He said that they take this kind of blue and yellow orb'd currency, and that he had enough to cover for all three of us and that we could pay him back later. But, before that he mentioned that we could get money from jobs like protection and reconstruction, or by killing heartless.It surprised me when he said there were heartless here.
