This is my first fanfiction, advice and criticism are welcome. Comments are nice too.
Prologue:
Sometimes it’s nice to be able to just sit on the beach and stare out to sea, thinking and imagining. What are the other worlds like? Will I ever get to see them?
For now the answer to both of those appears to be no. I have responsibilities too great for me to just walk away from; I can’t just leave my world unprotected. My friends, Joey and Sarina, and I are the only people standing between this world and destruction by the heartless. We are the only citizens of our world skilled enough to combat the heartless and protect everyone. Joey is the brute strength, Sarina is the magical intellect, and I am right in the middle, the guardian. We are known as Protectors.
Traditionally there are three protectors, the warrior, the mage, and the guardian; they are often compared to darkness, light, and dawn, respectively. But that’s just symbolic. That comparison, though, can be seen in our uniforms, the warrior has a pair of black, armored wrist bands, the mage has a white hat resembling a bandana, and the guardian has armor pieces on their shoulders, black on the right and white on the left.
The protectors have another tradition that's kind of unusual: colorful clothing consisting of one primary color with its opposing secondary color. The mage wears yellow (more like gold) and purple, the warrior wears red and green, and the guardian wears blue and orange. For the most part our uniforms have the same design and the primary color is dominant. Our shoes are the primary color with streaks and swirls of the secondary color. We wear cargo pants, from the knees down is the secondary color and the rest is the primary color. We have a t-shirt in the secondary color with a vest in the primary color.
My parents are staunch believers in the legend of the heroes of old and have, appropriately, given me a name in honor of one of the great heroes. My name is... Sky.
Chapter 1:
I get out of bed and get ready to go into town. I look in the mirror to make sure I'm still myself. Same hair, brown and curly reaching the top of my eyes. Same eyes, green on the outside and gold towards the centers. Same face, yeah, I'm still me.
As I walked into the center of town I could see Joey and Sarina talking as they waited for me. Joey's short, brown army style hair is unmistakable even from a distance. As I walked up the both greeted me with a "hi."
"Seems like it's gonna be a slow day," Joey sighed.
"Yeah, heartless activity is unusually low today." Sarina added. Her deep blue eyes sparkled in the morning sun.
"JOEY!" Someone suddenly called out from behind me. I turned around and Sarah running towards us.
"I'll see you guys later!" Joey yelled as he began to run away from Sarah. He never was very romantic.
"Ok, see ya!" I replied. Sarina and I were laughing.
"It's never a slow day for him when Sarah's around." Sarina said.
"Definitely. So, have you eaten yet?"
"No, why?"
"Good, cause I haven't either. You wanna go?"
"Sure, where do you want to go?"
"Where else?"
"There's nothing like getting breakfast at Jack's Place before a day of destroying heartless." I said.
"Especially since he lets us eat for free." Sarina replied. Suddenly a group of heartless ran by towards the center of town.
"They just ignored us, come on!"
We started chasing the heartless, I summoned my dual blades, and Sarina summoned her staff. It's no wonder they ignored us, there was a huge gathering at the center of town.
"Everyone get out of here!" Sarina yelled as she shot a blast of fire into a group of shadows. I started slicing up more of the shadows and Sarina cast thunder to finish them off.
"Just shadows?! What a rip off!" I said. Sarina only laughed. "What?"
"For your sake I hope something interesting happens around here." She replied.
As if on cue Joey ran up to us and before he could say anything a big swirling cloud of darkness appeared in front of us and two men in black coats stepped out.
"Looks like this day just got interesting." I said summoning my weapons.
"No need to be alarmed, we are here as friends. We are from the Organization." One of the men said.
"But the organization was destroyed by the heroes of old." Joey said, he already had his gauntlets summoned.
"We are a new Organization, and we do not agree with the methods of the Organization XIII of old." The second man said.
"Ok, what do you want with us?" Sarina asked.
"The worlds require your help," The first man replied.
"But we can't just leave our world unprotected!" I protested. "Who would protect it of we were gone?"
"The nobodies, in fact the only reason you haven't had our aid is because we needed to test you." The first man answered again.
"Test us? For what?" I asked.
"To see if you truly are the successors to the heroes of old." The second man said.
"Successors?" The three of us gasped.
"All will be made clear in time." The second man added. "We will return tomorrow evening to begin your journey." And with that they walked back through the cloud of darkness.
"Well, I guess it's business as usual till tomorrow evening." Joey said. "Let's split up and do patrols."
"See you guys later," Sarina said and ran off.
I started walking through town trying to make sense of what had just happened. We're their successors? Are the worlds in danger of falling to the darkness again? Is this good bye to my world forever? Am I strong enough to do this?
I realized I was at the beach and there was Sarina sitting at the shore. I walked over and sat next to her. "Do you know much about the legends?" I asked.
"No, I don't. But I imagine your parents made sure you do."
"Yeah... they say there used to be some small islands just a couple miles out. It is said that the heroes spent most of their time on those islands. They were called Destiny Islands." I said.
"Wow, do you know what happened?"
"No, no one knows, it's like they ceased to exist."
"Wow," was all she said, and she laid her head on my shoulder. I was so surprised that I just sat there stunned, but I managed to get myself to relax enough to put my arm around her. "We're finally gonna get to see other worlds!"
"Yeah, we are."
I'm thinking future chapters are going to be longer than this
