I got off my school bus, told the driver to have a good day, and began walking towards my house. My name is (Y/N) (L/N). I'm sixteen years old, and my appearance stands thus: My skin is a little too pale than others, so people say I need to get more sun. Not that I really care. My hair is pitch-black and spiky, and I've got one eye that as blue as a sapphire, while the other is covered by an eye patch. I wore the patch because of an accident I no longer even remember from when I was younger, but that's neither here nor there.
I reached my house two blocks away from the bus stop, pulled out my key, unlocked the door and went inside. I started my daily routine of feeding the dog, doing my homework, that day it was Algebra 2, and then my chores. I finished about an hour later, and decided that I'd kill some time before my dad got home by playing video games. Walking over to the shelf, I looked at all the XBOX 360 games my family had. Call of Duty Black Ops 2, no, Just Dance 3, no way, Assassin's Creed 3, maybe tomorrow. Then I looked over at the end and saw Final Fantasy XIII . Perfect! I turned the TV and XBOX on, put the disc in and sat back in my favorite recliner chair.
The opening screen had just appeared when I heard a huge roll of Foudre from outside. I looked over, surprised, and saw that it was night out, and some storm clouds were rolling. For a second I was stunned. I knew it was winter and I knew that meant the sun sets early, but dang! That shouldn't mean it's gone by 5 o'clock in the afternoon! Shaking my head in amazement, I turned back to go sit down when I heard a CRASH! I whipped back around and opened the door to see a smoking crater in the huge field near where I lived.
I grabbed my coat and ran outside to see things, and when I got to the edge I saw in the middle of it was a rock about the size of head. My eyes widened and I stared at it. A meteorite; no way! Before I could even think much more than that another rock, this one larger, zipped down and hit the ground to my left. Then another fell, and then another and another. I looked around me and thought " A meteor shower! I've got to get inside before I get hit too! " I ran back towards my house, dodging meteors that fell left and right.
I had almost made it when I looked up at the moon to see the biggest meteor yet, twice the size of my body, headed straight for me. I tried to dodge but it was too late, the meteor stack me full, the flames around it burning me, and then my entire world went black.
---------------------
When I awoke I was lying next to the meteor in the middle of the crater it made. My clothes were burnt and ripped, but oddly, I had only one burn on my body. It was on the underside of my right arm halfway between my wrist and elbow, and its silvery, in the shape of a crescent moon, but it didn't hurt. I looked at it for a minute before I examined the rest of me, and I saw that I was fine. " Weird. I struck by a meteorite, and I'm not hurt. Guess it's my lucky day, " I thought. I pulled myself up out of the crater and began to walk home. I saw that the opening screen for Final Fantasy was still on, as it probably had been for hours.
I changed clothes and sat down, deciding to put the whole thing behind me. I selected to start a new game, and I waited for a moment, expecting to hear Vanille's voice and see the Purge train rolling along, but then something else happened. The screen turned black and the music from when the l'cie dream of Ragnorak started playing. "What the heck?" I wondered aloud. Then words began to appear on the screen.
Your fate has been altered, child who bears the crest of the moon.
Now you shall live in a world beyond your own, cursed to follow the same path as others.
Should you follow this path to its conclusion, you will be rewarded with a choice beyond value;
Fail and you shall never see the world you know again.
