Aedia
My names Aedia. My parents never gave me a last name or middle name, just the name left on my card, the card left with me at their door step. Yes I’m adopted. Seventeen years ago I was left at their door step in the middle of the night in the rain. My mom and dad told me there wasn’t much said on the card, just my name, and to take care of me with love. Which they have, and I love them so much. I couldn’t ask for better parents. They brought me up normally as if I was theirs. And like every kid, I was good at stuff. Sports especially. Into hobbies and such. I was, normal. Until one day, I sat in my room wondering, what it would be like to have powers? Like any kid would my age. Then suddenly, the world around me darkened and shuddered. And suddenly I found myself looking at this weird thing that sprung up from the floor like a portal or something. I sat there looking at it for sometime seeing if anything would jump out and attack me, so I cautiously walked up to it. Everything seemed ok. Until I got sucked into it! As I'm floating in this darkness that surrounded me, I hear a voice. “hello Aedia, we’ve been waiting for you for sometime” I look around drastically. “Who’s there?!” The world shimmered then the booming voice came again “we are the overseers of time and space, and we’ve decided it’s time that your destiny, starts now.” I actually have to laugh “what destiny? I'm just a normal kid! Goes to sports games and does chores around the house! I'm no destiny wielder or crap!” I felt like I was being shaken. “we all have a destiny in the world young one, and yours starts now. But, you have a choice to take it or not. We offer you the power, of the old kingdoms. The great power, of the keyblade. A weapon said to be so power to the users heart that it can take on anything in its way. And you, Aedia, have a choice to take on this great burden of freeing the lost warrior’s hearts in the chamber of hearts.” The voiced echoed and boomed in my ears. “Me? A hero? This sounds..Unreal! But..I’ll take it on whoever you are! I’ll be the new keyblade wielder!” then in a sudden movement I seen in the darkness a light come flying at me at a top speed. All I could do was hold up my hand as it smacked into it. Then in an instant, I was holding a weapon. A weapon of great power. The keyblade. I held it with so much delicacy as if nothing else matter. It then shimmered and changed from its original form into this, other thing. It was still a keyblade except, it formed into something dark and evil. “What happened to it?! Why did it turn black?!” The voiced boomed “ it has taken the shape of the wielders heart, you may be a nice and gentle person, but it says there’s something lurking inside, trying to escape. So be careful of your actions young one, and be safe” Then again, the world around me shimmered and I was back in my room. Looking around confused and dazed. Still on my hand, the keyblade vibrated with power. I swung it around a few times. It was so light. But so deadly because I practically cut my bed in half! As I was fixing my bed my mom came up so see what all the noise was. “what’s all that noise Ed?” I quickly prop the bed up on stuff so it looks normal. “nothing Kath! Just moving the bed!” my mom’s name is Katherine, but she hates it when I don’t call her mom. “what did I tell you about calling me by my name Ed? Its mom to you.” I apologize “sorry, mom. But yeah nothing’s going on.” She looks me over and sighs. “Ok, dinners almost ready” I nod and give her the innocent look “ok, I’ll be down in a bit.” She leaves me to myself. As I look at the amazing weapon that I now hold I wonder how I can hide it. But just as soon as I think it, it disappears. I literally yelled out “woah!” Then I thought of it out and it reappeared. “so, it works on thoughts. Ok.” So I called it back and went for dinner. After I ate I quickly went to show my best friend John. He looked at it in amazement “dude, this things sick! Where did you get it?!” I sit down beside him and shrug “got it from this weird portal thing that popped in the middle of my room.” I think it over a bit. “it said I have do endure this destiny of freeing hearts of some warrior’s in some chamber. But I don’t even know where it is, or how to get there! Wouldn’t even know where to start man.” I shrug again, get up and walk a bit from john then turn around to face him “well I finally got my chance to have what every kids wants though. To have a power.” John squints at me. “having a blade the appears and disappears isn’t a power dude. Maybe you do have powers but you just don’t know how to use them yet?” I think it over.” Yeah, yeah maybe your right! Hm...but who would teach me?” He shrugs and gets up to leave. “it’s what you make of it Aedia. This is your journey, your quest. Not mine.” Then he walked away. To leave me with my thoughts that buzzed around my head like angry bees trying to escape. Escape..I get a flash back of what the voice said to me. “it has taken the shape of the wielders heart, you may be a nice and gentle person, but it says there’s something lurking inside, trying to escape. So be careful of your actions young one, and be safe” I get a shiver down my spine and head home. As soon as I touch my bed it falls back into two pieces. But I don’t care, I just lay in its remains. Sleep comes easy. And soon I'm laying there lifeless in my dream state.
