Chapter 1: Too many questions, not enough answers
____________________________________________________
Why me? Why do I have to do this? ... What am I even supposed to do?
All will be revealed when it is revealed, young one.
Where am I?
At the Door, of course. Where else would one such as you be?
Door? To what?
Well, that is for you to decide. Now then, AWAKEN!
____________________________________________________
My eyes fly open, sweat poring from every orfice(A/N: couldn't remember how that's spelled -w-) conceivable. What kind of dream WAS that? I felt as though the lives of two people have flashed before my very eyes in sequence. Well, at least I have my own bed and room to return to now that I'm awake. Wait a minute. I feel the bed, I feel the pillows, I even feel the simply-carved mantlepiece. This... this isn't my bed. I sit up, eye looking around wildly for something, anything, familiar. There is nothing familiar, not even the idiotic snoring of my brother. The room is filled with makeshift models of things. Is that a wooden sword? I take hold of the stick. Yep, definitely a wooden sword. I hear footsteps approaching this room. Ah crap, ah crap, ah crap, I'm gonna die; I just know it. The doorknob turns and out pops the head and... hair of a teenage boy. It was morning, well sort of. The sun hadn't risen yet; so this guy's face was totally invisible. Somehow, he seemed familiar.
"Hey, you're awake!", he said. He turned on the lights to reveal a grinning face. The guy was probably about my age. I had him on height when I stood up though.
"Dang it, Kari was right." Kari? That name sounds familiar...
"...Who are you?", I ask. I had no idea where I was, and apparently, this was his house.
"Oh, right, I'm Sora." Sora. That name sounds as familiar as Kari's. Maybe, it was the dream? I wipe some sweat off my face.
"Name's... what the?" I couldn't remember my name. What's going on here? What's wrong with me. To be honest, I'm freaking out bad. I look in the makeshift mirror of my room. I remember the face, but... my name is gone. It's like someone wiped it from my memory completely. Sora gave a concerned look.
"Well, that sucks doesn't it?" He gave a comforting grin.
"But c'mon, you can give yourself a name! Come on, try it." I put my hand to my chin. Wait, what am I wearing? Fingerless gloves? Shorts? And what's with the keychain necklace?
"Are these your clothes?" Sora shook his head.
"Nah, but I called Merlin the Magician. They're definitely fairy-made just for you like mine." Like his? Fairies? Seriously, what is going on here?
"Fairies?"
"Oh, yeah, magical faries made my outfit. Pretty cool, right?" I guess you could say that this guy was high on life.
"Right, oh, my name... Sam."
"Sam? Is that your real name?"
"Actually, I think it is..." Great, I had my name. Now, I need to know where I am. Sora nodded and motioned for me to follow him. I shrugged and began following out the door. When I said I was in a bedroom, I was wrong. I was in a shack. On an island? I've never been on an island in my life. A silver-haired guy and a brunette-haired girl ran up to Sora.
"So, our little wash-up's finally awoken?", asked the girl.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, hi, I'm Sam.", I reply.
"Sam? Nice ta meet ya. I'm Kari, and this is Riku.", she replied, pointing to the silver-haired guy when she said Riku. The guy nodded and waved.
"So, anyone mind telling me where I am?", I ask.
"Oh, yeah, you're on the Destiny Islands.", replied Sora. Okay, this was getting weird.
"Uh, I think I dreamed about you... All of you.", I say.
"Not the first time someone's dreamed about Kari.", jabbed Riku. I think it was directed at Sora.
"Oh, be quiet, Riku.", scolded Kari. Great, I know who was the boss.
"So, are you guys like related or something?", I ask. Sora and Kari blush and fiercely shake their heads.
"No no no no no no, not at all.", replied Sora. Okay... that was weird. I look at two guys play-fighting with a wooden sword and... a ball?
"What is that guy doing with the ball?", I ask, pointing at the guy.
"Oh, Wakka? Yeah, he's always fought like that. Pretty unpredictable.", replied Riku. I nod and just look around. This island is beautiful. I wonder if they all live on this island. Wait, he said Destiny Islands. Okay, so, their homes must be on another island.
"Hey, do you want to go get something to eat? You've been out for five days.", asked Sora. Now that he mentioned it, my stomach was growling pretty fiercely. I nod, and we start walking to another island.
"Hey, Sora, won't the King want to see this guy?", asked Riku.
"My name is Sam.", I say.
"Yeah, he probably would but food first!" This day's going to be very very weird.
