Light's Lost Hero.{9} Ballad of many Strangers

Chapter Nine: Ballad of many Strangers

A rush of kids filled the halls of my new school, strangely the era of the room felt unwelcoming. I somehow felt different from all the students that had passed me through the halls. My gaze was fixed only on my class schedule and map, avoiding strange looks and movements that were assumed to be directed towards me. I lifted my head from my papers and looked up ahead of me and saw a bright corridor filled with kids with white and gold uniforms, all of them seemed quiet, but yet, mysterious. I looked around me once more and just continued to walk past more and more kids.

A young boy with sandy blond hair and ocean blue eyes looked up at me as he rose from his seat by the door leading to a new corridor which was out-of-bounds to all normal students. Unknowingly, I just brushed past the boy avoiding his gaze and placed my hand on the cold handle and slightly twisted it. I had then felt a slight tap on my shoulder and I had spun around to only find the boy staring at me. He clutched a piece of paper In his hand and gave me a mad look.

"So you just leave without me and the others knowing huh? Well you better have a good explanation for leaving. It took me forever to find you." The boy said sternly.

I tilted my head.

"Excuse me? do I know you?" I asked.

The boy straightened himself up and looked at me weirdly. He tucked the paper In his pocket and stuffed his hands in his pockets and examined me. I soon saw him circling me looking at every inch of me. Some kids on the further end of the corridor looked and began to whisper about something.

" Hm, well you're sure the same person, but how do you not know me? I mean, I AM like your best friend. C'mon, at least try to say my name." The boy said taking a step forward me. It had seemed he had towered over me only by a few inches.

I tried my best to remember the boy, I really did. But something about him DID strike me as familer. What was It?

His eyes?

His face?

His personality?

The boy seemed very desperate I have to admit....strange...I remember somebody that was desperate...very clearly at that. Though both of them look nothing alike...but Something about him told me I knew him. I do remember Vanitas mentioning him having another half. His name was on the edge of my tounge....what was it?

.....

Ventus.

"Your name...it's Ventus?" I said unsure of myself.

His eyes widened, But his expression went blank after a few moments. He walked past me and looked at me once more. His opened the door and waited.

"Good, now c'mon i'll walk you to your first lesson," He then began to walk away.

I stood, staring only for a moment but then began to follow him.

"How is it you know where I'm going?" I asked.

He smirked.

"I just do." He said.

We walked down a dark corridor and had stopped at a pearl white door.

"Here you go, Mr.Ministato's class. This Is exploration of ancient myths,"

"Are you in this class too?" I asked.

He shook His head.

"Nope, well see yeah." Ventus then left.

I walked Into my classroom which was dim and almost pitch dark. I saw a dark figure loom by a desk. He has brown hair and gold eyes. He looked young, but old. He turned when he heard me and smiled at me warmly.

"You must be the new student, welcome," He greeted. I walked over to the front of the classroom and slightly bowed at the students.

"What Is your name?" He asked.

I smiled very little but cracked a small smile.

"My name Is Alex." I said.

He had bowed to me.

"Call me William, my allies call me by my that name. Welcome to Twilight Center Academy's Freshmen Supernatural class," He paused and looked towards his very few students in the room.

"Everybody, I'd like you to warmly welcome a new member to our family. But, may I remember you all, especially the young men, that to treat her nicely. I don't want to hear complaints from the young maiden about you all. Now then," He turned and motioned me to some open desks up some stairs In the room.

"Go on and take your seat. Coraline," He began. A girl with pale skin, Black hair, and gold eyes looked up.

"Fetch her a text book and some parchment if you will."

The girl sighed and got up out of seat and went to a shelf in the back room. I walked up some steps up the classroom and took my seat. I saw some girls staring at me and began to whisper to one another, snickering. I shifted Uncomfortably and adjusted my focus Onto the teacher.

"Alright class, today we will learn about How the Egyptians In the human race had began to come with a theory of their gods and their power," William began, the class groaned but he smiled.

Coraline loomed over me and handed me my stuff.

"Here," She said softly.

I took it and nodded. "Thanks."

She went back to her seat and I set my class room supplies on the corner of my desk. William wrote on the chalk board and turned.

"Now, Alex. I hear you were recently changed, am I hearing correctly?" William asked.

I nodded.

"Yeah, why?"

William crossed his arms.

"You had went to school with humans, learned their literature, and learned their ways before you became one of us. From what I understand, you know a greater amount of history of their past than all of us,Including me. I would appreciate If you gave me a name of a god or something." William said.

I gulped but then began to think. This couldn't be too hard...can it?

"Well, There are all kinds of gods and goddesses that the Egyptians believed to have existed. I know

A couple come to my mind. Isis, the goddess of magic, Anubis god of embalming. Ra, god of the sun. There are so many..." I trailed off.

William pointed his finger at me.

"Good," He turned and wrote on the board some more.

"Class, turn to page three hundred fifty four."

The class opened their textbooks and had turned to the designated page. I sighed.

Oh god this is going to be a while.

Sora's P.O.V.

"WAK!" Donald Quacked loudly. He looked at the Destroyed castle that only stood weakly ahead of him. Goofy, remaining oblivious, only left his mouth agape at the sight of the castle King Mickey and Queen Minnie once ruled destroyed.

I scratched my neck.

"Well gee, I wonder what happened here. Any ideas guys?" I asked.

Both Donald and Goofy looked at each other. Goofy scratched his head.

"Gwarsh, what ever happen a- Minnie and a- the others aren't here?" Goofy asked.

All of us shrugged but I looked around the castle or what's left of it. Majority of the floors were covered in debris and ash. The place looked horrible.

"Wonder what happened..." I trailed off.

"MINNIE!" I yelled."CHIP, DALE? YOU HERE?"

My voice echoed through the castle but no answer. I crossed my arms and began to think.

"Hm..."
