When Runes Come

Prologue: Magic?

Hello everyone! Jake here, and I'm here to tell my story of how I became a hero of sorts. so let's start this from the beginning. before I was brought to the land of Equestria!

It was dark outside because of a huge thunderstorm and before you ask, no I was at a friend's house with my group. We were going to go play Kingdom Hearts all in the same house so we could all help the other in an instant. And of course we went to the rich friends house because the mansion plus all the money equals really fast internet. So we are in the gaming room which was sixteen meters wide and eleven meters long. There was every console in here from the Sega Genesis to the Xbox One, to the handheld ones as well as the three different VR sets. Anyway i was helping Tracy set up his account and everything on the computer while Will was helping Tommy set up. We are all so excited we could barely sit still. While we set up some stuff we were talking about our childhood together.

Tommy is the Mexican of the group with him knowing a little Spanish. He had black hair and stood at my guess 5'10 with tan skin. He wore a black T-shirt that had 'U MAD BRO?' on the front. He wore dark blue jeans with blue tennis shoes.

Tracy's natural hair was brown but he dyed it a red color and stood at 5'6. He had on a red shirt with a skull on it that was on fire with a deep blue flame. He had some blue shorts that had a red stripe on the side. He had on red Nike that had blue strings and the Nike sign was a sky blue. He was born in Canada before his family moved here for family.

Will is born in the USA like me. Will constantly wore a fancy suit that was a royal blue with a white undershirt and a black bow tie. And instead of being snobbish like other noblemen he always puts others before him. He also wore leather shoes that is ocean blue. The only difference between us is I'm a little darker than him, he is basically a cracker with how white his skin is, whereas my skin is between white and tan. Also he had brown hair while I had black-brown hair

I was wearing a T-Shirt that is red with blue stripes. My shorts were black with grey lining on the sides. and I wore my favorite shoes which were red and black sneakers. but my favorite part of my ensemble was my hat which had flames designed on it (I am always the pyromaniac of the group, fire was to beautiful.).

We were excited to play through it. Once we started it up I had gotten the first turn. which was the glass arenas. we all wanted a challenge so I picked the shield and got rid of strength.

I was on my computer setup while the others were asleep and was looking through the internet when suddenly an email appeared. I got curious so i opened the email and the email asked if I liked kingdom hearts. I then replied with a yes and asked who this was. I waited 30 seconds before I got a response asking what I would choose to keep and loose. I chose to keep strength and lost the magic as I did my first play-through, I suddenly got sent a picture of runes by the email. then everything blacked out.

I was sitting at my balcony when suddenly there was a bright flash of light in the sky. When I looked closer it looked to be a figure falling out of the sky without wings. I quickly took off and tried to get there as quickly as possible. It was certainly a close call but I caught him before he hit the ground. I started to rush him to the infirmary wing when a shadow with yellow eyes appeared. I very quickly summoned my scythe and rushed the shadow. The shadow started to come at me as well. I went to swing but he went into the ground to dodge my attack and crawled around. I then saw he was going after the pony I saved and tried to attack when suddenly the figure opened their eyes and summoned a weird weapon that was shaped as a key. Before I could recover they swung their weapon at the shadow. the shadow dodged then attacked. I then got out of my stupor and swung my scythe at the shadow which cleaved it in half before it dissipated into smoke.

"Thanks for keeping the heartless off of me while I recovered! now i need to get going before more try to find me and kill you for hanging with me so-"the figure started before he passed out. I sighed and continued to drag him in my levitation spell. when we got to the castle I had gotten to the infirmary so the doctor could check on him. while on the way there I ran into Tia and i caught her up while i was going through the events in my head of what transpired.

"Hey Sister what should we do about this situation that is happening? should we try to help them take care of whatever these Heartless are or should we be more cautious about all of them even though the Heartless seemed interested in this pony?" I asked cause i never thought i would be making a decision like this so soon. and by the look of sister's face shes having trouble deciding before.

"We should try to help him through this. even if we get caught up in this mess it would be better than him going lonely just to try to protect us. i just wonder what happened to make him fall out of the sky earlier?" Tia said as we went to the reception.

I was starting to come to consciousness when I suddenly jumped up and fell down in so much pain. "Who hit me with that truck?" I asked myself as i sat up.

"Ah, glad to see your up. but what is this truck you talk about?" someone said causing me to look up at my surroundings. noticing how bright it was I new it was day. then I noticed a... anthro? yes but why does she have a horn and wings? "Yes I know I'm sexy now what happened exactly last night?" the anthro woman asked she has blue fur and a Mane that looked like the night sky that flowed with non-existing wind with the tail the same way. and a beautiful royal purple gown. with what looked to be a crescent moon on the shoulder of the gown.

"Uh... kinda hard to explain to a pretty mare way to pretty." I said to her while assuming she was an anthro of a horse or pony. She giggled while a light blush crept up my face and turned away. "What do you mean last night anyways I don't remember anything that happened last night?" I said while she looked at me incredulously while sighing

"last night you appeared from a teleport or something a hundred meters into the sky and would've hit the ground if I didn't see the flash.and then this shadow with yellow eyes attacked you." she said as I turned with a flash of my head it hurt and looked at her wide eyes. Then I checked myself for injuries and found none. releasing a breathe that I held from hearing that. "Right now you are in Canterlot Castle with my sister and I. So you are safe for the time being."

"No you don't understand the predicament right now. I need to leave before the heartless come and take more people away." I said as i hurriedly got up. only to fall into this persons grip before I could take another step.

"Whoa easy now. there is no threat that we aren't able to beat on our own. and besides what makes you think we are in danger with the royal guard to protect us. they have been trained for threats of any stature. you are before a princess right now." she stated with a little pride as my shock finally wore off.

"Oh that's not good. I'm out of the shock of the situation." I stated before I started hyperventilating into the brown bag that was summoned for me while she tried her best to sooth me. I then blacked out from situational overload.
