It was a beautiful morning in MagicTown, the city where everyone's fate would be decided.
It was exactly 7:00 a.m. and you could hear the alarm clock in the Akashita house.
But the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Akashita, Katari, did not want to get up again. It's no wonder, who wants to get up early and go to school? Surely no one likes that, but it has to be and Katari's mother tried, as always, to wake her up. She sat up slowly and stretched once.
"Good morning honey," said Ms. Akashita happily, but her daughter replied sleepily: "Tomorrow ... I'm getting up ..."
"Good, but really today, you know exactly what day it is today!"
Then she went out of the room to make breakfast for Katari.
"Today is a special day?", The little one asked softly. She looked to the window and looked from the bed at the beautiful blue sky that is now cloudless."Today is a great day! I mustn't waste any time!"
She got up quickly and put on her dark blue dress. It wasn't an ordinary one, the shoulders were free and 2 loops went down behind, one on each side. The dress did not come down stiffly either, but rather widened. This was her favorite dress, she wore it all the time.
Then she went to the desk and opened the drawer.
"There it is!", She said and already grabbed her brush and started to brush her hair.
Her long blue hair, which went up to her waist, was easy to comb and she was done with it quickly.
Afterwards she put the brush on the desk and went down to the kitchen, where her mother was waiting.
"You are pretty again today, darling!" Said her mother with a smile.
"Do you say every day," answered Katari with a slight smile. Then she grabbed her hanging bag and breakfast and went out.
Since it was certainly very late, she didn't have time to eat comfortably, so she took it with her to eat on the way.Later, at school, she saw a guy whose face couldn't be seen because of a hood. From a distance she looked at him, you could even tell that she was watching him.
"Who is that? And what does he want here?", She just thought to herself and couldn't take her eyes off him. Katari didn't notice that he was staring at her too.
He was dressed really strangely, not only that brown to black hood was weird. It was all of his robe too! You could only see a coat, but not its skin, everything was covered.
Suddenly everyone in the school or outside heard the school bell ring. She looked at the school, slightly frightened, and ran inside very quickly, because she was already very late.
When she got inside the school, the weird guy mumbled something about "Fate will soon be decided" and suddenly disappeared.
After school, it had to be around 2:30 p.m., she sat in class and, like the whole day, thought about the weird guy with the hood."His face ... it was covered ... why only? What was he doing here?" A lot of such questions went through her head.
Then she looked around and saw that she was the only one left in the class. Then she looked at the clock.
"WHAT ?! Oh no! I'm late!" she literally screamed and got up immediately. No wonder, it was already 2:45 p.m. and she should be home at 2:35 p.m.
She ran immediately when she stood in front of the school building, she looked around. That blue-haired kid didn't see this hooded guy anymore.
"Well ... will surely have something else to do.", She thought and ran on, in the direction of the home.
It didn't take long and she was home. Katari opened the door and entered.
"Hello! I'm back!", She said loudly and heard nothing. This was very funny because her mother always said something to it. She walked slowly towards the living room, then into the kitchen. But she was nowhere.
"Funny ... she never leaves, at least not without leaving a message," she said before turning around.Then she saw him again, this strange guy who hid his face behind a hood.
"W ... who are you and how did you get here ?!" she asked, slightly shocked.
"You are still so inexperienced and so ignorant," he said before walking up to Katari.
"Wait, stop now !!" she screamed.
Then he really stopped and asked: "This world will soon no longer be ..."
"What? What do you mean? Are there more worlds besides this one?"
"Of course, there are as many worlds as there are stars ... do you want to see a new world?"
"Hai! But ... where are you from? And who are you?"
"I can't tell you my name ... but I can show you where I'm from. Of course only if you want to come too,"
"I want to come with you! But ... tell me more about your world first!"
"Don't go ... otherwise it will be too late" after he had said this, he turned his covered face a little to the side.
"What ... what do you mean? What's going to happen?""There will be no turning back for you, the choice is yours. Come with me and you will never see this world again, or stay here and go under with your home world ..."
"Do you mean that ...", Katari did not want to speak any further and she could no longer speak because this stranger interrupted her: "Yep, that's exactly what I mean ... so how do you decide?"
"I'll come with you! I don't want to be here any longer ... especially not when I know that this world is going to be destroyed ...", then she turned her eyes to the ground.
This guy, who didn't want to give his name, walked up to her and grabbed her hand. Then a darkly glowing portal appeared, it did not radiate positive energy, but rather a dark one.
Suddenly Katari got scared because she could feel this energy, but didn't know what it was. It was a strange feeling, but she couldn't assign it, after all, she had never experienced anything like it.The hooded man who was holding her hand took a few steps forward, toward the portal, and suddenly shadow creatures appeared. Katari looked around everywhere and saw only these creatures.
"These are shadow beings, we call them the Heartless ..." he said softly, but still so that she could hear it.
"Heartless?", She asked him and wondered what else he had said, "Why did you say that you call them that? Who are 'we'?
"You will find out soon enough, believe me," he said with a slight grin and went through this portal and pulled the child through.
