Prologue: An Unusual Birth

The heart, an organ that resides in all things that live. For years scientists have studied the heart, learning of its secrets, why it exists. To most living beings, the heart is an organ that beats through the body, pumping blood through its veins. However, the heart is more than what it appears to be. In reality every heart that is born is made of darkness. It all began when a war broke out, a war that filled people with greed and anger. At one time all living things existed as one, bathing in the warm light that shined through a single world.

Soon, people and other living creatures wanted that light for themselves, knowing it would bring them good fortune. A war broke out, resulting in a battle to the death, lives destroyed, innocent beings injured, and society ruined. It was from all this greed, anger, and rage that the darkness was born in people's hearts. Because of this power, warriors who wielded a key like weapon known as a keyblade locked a giant door, which separated the one big world into many worlds.

Many centuries have gone by with those who live in those separated worlds wondering if other worlds subsist in the blackness of space. The stars that twinkle in the sky are in reality the only things closest to seeing a world. One day a mighty king and all knowing wise man known as Ansem the Wise was fascinated by the heart and wanted to discover its secrets. A series of tests began as he, and his six lab assistants made hypotheses, theories, experiment, and more. Not even someone as he could discover the answers, but didn't realize the dangers of his experiment.

Soon another king appeared in his world, who got into what seemed like endless conversation with the elder. The king of another world explained the wrongness of what he was doing, thus causing Ansem to end his studies, unaware that his lab assistance still carried on his research, discovering creatures born from the darkness in peoples' hearts. They derive the heart as they themselves are creatures without hearts. They simply devour other hearts, transforming them into creatures of darkness themselves.

Light and darkness, two elements that have struggled against each other for aeons. A struggle for control of mankind. However, many did not realize that the light and the darkness could be as one and work together. There is a third element that is different from the rest, creatures born differently from others. One creature always questioned his life, wondering why he was different from the rest of his herd. One creature who would soon decided the fate of his world.

Before man stepped foot on the solid ground of the earth, one world was a special world created by a theory known as the Big Bang Theory. Dust and particles came together, brining birth to strange new world that seemed like an empty shell, covered with hard rock and ground. Soon a storm cloud appeared over this world which released rain. Lushes green grass soon formed, splits in this world from earthquakes were filled by water. Life began to form as cells, soon they multiplied, getting bigger and bigger. They were able to walk as they matured, the cells turned into creatures with reptile-like skin.

They continued to evolve, forming into many different shapes and sizes. Some grew necks that were as tall as buildings, others grew sharp spikes on their bodies. They formed into magnificent creatures known as dinosaurs. These creatures rule over their world, surviving in many ways. Some survived by eating plants, while some could only survive by eating meat, usually by hunting the ones who eat plants. These dinosaurs traveled together, the leaf-eaters ultimate goal to reach a place called "The Great Valley" where the great walls would protect them from the invasion of the carnivore terrors of this world the Sharpteeth or as what highly evolved species call them "Tyrannosaurs Rex" claimed to be the king of all dinosaurs.

This statement is true, considering how they are very tall creatures, the nickname sharpteeth coming from the fact of their rather large, pointy teeth, that stabs it's way through the flesh of the herbivores, crushing their bones with the strong jaws these titans posses. Very few have come a cross these creatures and lived to tell the tale of their encounter. Most of these creatures have no judgement, they'll attack anything their eyes can see. The herbivores tremble in fear, their hearts rise beyond fear itself, you feel too afraid to even turn around as you hear their footsteps pounding in your ears, their warm slimy mouths breathing down your necks like molten lava creeping down it, burning the skin right off from your head to your feet.

These creatures lack intelligent, most born with terrible judgment. They cannot distinguish the difference between right or wrong, not having any remorse for their terrible actions. One sharptooth was different, his life was baffled by riddles, trying to discover what makes him so different from the rest of his herd. Living his life he's been shrouded with mystery, feeling as he was destined to do something, something that may change the world he breaths on. He was much more intelligent than the other sharpteeth. He could understand things much better, he always thought of strategic ways to capture his pray. However, at times, he felt like an outcast from his herd. He felt totally different, they never offer him any food from their pray. He often stand there as they would attack the pray.

He was a seven foot creature, his skin colored a ruby red, his eyes green as the grass on the field, his long tail which had a lone spike on the tip stood out, something a Sharptooth never had before. His tail, his hands, feet, and stomach all had a peculiar glowing white that made him even more strange. He rested in the cool breeze, his body curled up into a ball to keep his body warm. These seemed like strange descriptions for an average sharptooth. He knew it was more than his appearance that made him question himself, but it was the strange dreams that haunted him. They were frightening, but they questioned many things. Who were the characters? What did they have to do with him? Was it a dream, or was it a voice that entered his mind, as he only heard sounds that told the story.

It happened again as his mind left reality and entered the realm of dreams. He heard the voices of a child who seemed to have curiosity in his voice.

"Huh?" the voice said.

"Ribbit!" croaked the sound of a frog. It continued as the sound moved away.

"Wait, hopper, come back!" the voice cried.

The voice panted excitedly after the frog. He heard a whisper that sent chills up his spine. He was able to understand what it was saying.

"You are a creation born of-" the voice whispered.

The childish voice laughed as it was still playing around. He then heard the sound of steps running around in a liquid substance. Another voice was soon heard, this time a childish female voice with sort of an attitude.

"You again?" the second voice groaned. "Get lost! He's my hopper, humph!"

"What? You can't do that!" the first voice protested. "I saw him first!"

"Well, he's in my pond." the second voice argued.

The voice of the two children argued as the sharptooth heard the voice again.

"Born between light and darkness," whispered the voice. "Created from a world that-"

It was as though these voices were trying to connect like pieces from a puzzle. Soon he heard the laughter of the two children, playing around in the puddle of water.

"Yeah, this is fun!" the first voice cheered.

The voice whispered again.

"The key to all worlds," the voice whispered. "The enemy or the friend?"

A flash appeared in his mind, displaying a creature he's never seen before, pointing a sharp object that he held in his right hand. His skin wasn't a dinosaur skin, but a skin that belonged to beings known as humans. He was a teenager who wore a red jumpsuit, the bottom part resembled shorts. The jumpsuit was connected to a loosen blue belt. Over his upper body was a blackish-greyish, short sleeved coat with a hood hanging in the back, and had white gloves in which the fingers stuck out of the top, and he wore yellow shoes that were bigger than the average person. Around his neck was a silver neckless in the shape of a crown. He had spiky brown hair and blue eyes.

What he held was a key shaped weapon, where the handle was shaped like a square and was colored yellow. The pointy part was colored grey, and at the end of the handle was a keychain with a symbol of two small circles at each edge of a bigger circle that was underneath them. A flash back to darkness, a sound of a pounding noise could be heard. One of the children gasped as she noticed something startling her.

"Oh, no!" she cried. "It's..."

Before whoever it was could finish, the voice whispered one last time.

"Do you remember your true-?" the voice whispered in question.

All of a sudden, a flash of a man with blue hair that dropped down to each side of his face appeared. On his forehead was what appeared to be an "X" symbol. He shouted at the sharptooth from his dreams.

"Awaken!" he shouted.

The sharptooth awoke from his dream, sitting up, screaming at the top of his lungs. He was in a state of shock. His breathing became heavy, his body shook in fear from the shock. He got on his claws to take slow breaths, closing his eyes, breathing slowly, taking the crisp air into his lungs. It helped him relax, trying to shake off what just happened. He sat up in the fields, looking at the sun which started to appear from the horizon. He continued to think about the weird voices he heard. What did they mean? Who were those two strange creatures? Looking at his claws, he realized that he has awoken. He gripped them tightly, a bit nervous and frustrated. At this moment he had other things on his mind.

"The bright circle has barely started to rise," he said to himself, referring to the sun. "It is too earlier for me." He then put his claws over his eyes. "That stupid sleep story again. What does this mean? It has been leaving me in confusion."

Groaning, he slowly stood up, feeling a gargling feeling his stomach, "Perhaps I should get some breakfast, though I should probably eat something light. A baby swimmer? I need my stomach to be growling at its furious so I can be more than ready for the trial."

He sighed as he looked up at the stars at the sky, "If only I knew about who I truly am. I have no memories as a little sharptooth, nor the parents that raised me." He then looked at himself. "I just wish I knew why I'm so different from other sharpteeth."

He looked back up, a determined look in eyes, "This trial will prove to them that I am a true sharptooth. They won't treat me like left over bones from the Mysterious Beyond! I'll show them all!"

He gave off a loud roar, indicating his confidence and rage. Whatever this trial was, one thing was clear; he was out to prove himself, showing he could be just as good as other sharpteeth. As he walked into the horizon he cast his fears and his dreams away, knowing there was only one thing to worry about. Little is known about this sharptooth, where he came from, or why he is so different, but the only thing known about him is the strange name he has. A name that dinosaurs never heard of in a lifetime.

"Awaken, Xpartoohart...you are chosen one of the-"
