Prologue ❤ Dream Of Calling Your Destiny
A very long ago, a world that was united and filled with the warm light.
Everyone loved the light so much, that they eventually began to fight over it.
Soon... Darkness found it's way to the hearts of people...
And with the flash, it spread...
The united world that was once filled with light, has disappeared into the darkness.
But...
The glimmer of light remained in the hearts of children.
With the children gathering their glimmers of light and recreated the world.
The recreated world that they made with their light was not united but...
It was divided into several smaller worlds.
And that the reason why...
The true light is hidden within the darkness...
The Skaia was the Key for its Awaken...
Two girls were washed up on the shore of Destiny Island. They were both wear tattered and ripped clothing as some of their skin were shown, getting a little tan from the warmth of the bright sun. One of the girls has red pink-ish hair while the other has lighter cream blonde-ish hair.
The two girls were both knocked out cold, having consciousness taking over. Until two shadows have covered them from the sun's light. "Riku... We had to SOMETHING..." A child with spikey brunette hair said to the silver-haired child that looked like he was one year older than the brunette-haired child.
"And what do you propose we do?"
"I... I dunno..."
Then one of the girls woken up by hearing their conversation. This startled both the brunette-haired and the silver-haired children. "Who... Are... You...?" The lighter cream blonde-ish haired girl spoked to them as the two boys smiled at her.
"My name is Sora! And this is my best friend, Riku!" The spikey brunette-haired child, named Sora, said to her with excitement in his voice. This also made the girl with red pike-ish hair wake up too. "You know, there are better places to take a nap than on the ground. Here, give me your hand." The silver-haired child, named Riku, lend his hand to one of the girls to take as Sora do the same as well.
The girls took one of their hands as both Riku and Sora pull them up before any of their consciousness takes over as they both close their eyes.
~Dreaming~
Aira's light blue fluttered open as she found herself standing in the middle of a white room. The whole room has no color but only white to be seen everywhere. Aria began to scan her surroundings. "H-hello...? Is anyone here?" She called out as her voice just only echoed around the room until a voice was heard.
"Your fate is upon the secret door that shall be upon all of us..."
Aria turns around to find the person that was speaking to her, but there was nothing but white around her. "W-who's there?" She called out to the voice, hoping that the voice could tell her who he or she is.
"The hidden light is within your heart... Yet... It still slumbers..."
"Hidden light...?" Aria repeatedly the words the voice had said to her. Just what is this hidden light that this voice is talking about? And why? Aria really wants some answers right now. Just what is this hidden light that this voice had said?
"Your goal to find him... The purpose to return to the place you and him came from..."
"My goal to find him? The purpose that I will return to...? With him? Just... What in my paopu fruit are you talking about?" Aria asked the voice. Suddenly, the white room went dark... Only a white-stone door with a huge heart crested in the middle, standing before her.
"The door will open to your salvation... Your answers... Your past memories..."
Aria looked at the white-stone door, feeling positive light magic behind it. The heart on the door started to glow brightly, only for her wanted to feel it's warmth. With her two hands, she didn't realize how tempting she was to touch the door.
"...Open the door and soon... You'll find out... Transcendent of light..."
As further and further she goes, Aria didn't realize that something or someone was behind her. Almost touching the door before her, Aria felt a hand behind her as her fingertips touch the white-stone door as the heart glowed within.
Then... Everything went black...
~Dream End~
"Aria! Wake up!" Sora yelled in her ears as Aria's light-blue eyes just shot open as he slowly shakes her to wake up. Aria blanks her light-blue eyes twice at her male best friend. "It's really rare to see you asleep at the job, Aria. It's not very like you to do that." Sora sighs, lending his hand to the lighter cream blond-ish haired girl.
Kairi giggled. "Sora's right about you, Aria! It's really rare to see you do that!" Aria accepted it as Sora pull her up as she realized she had slept on the paopu tree that herself, Sora, Riku, and Kairi always hang out at. "S-sorry... I was going to get more supplies but... My vision went suddenly black." Aria yawns while talking to both of her best friends.
"It's alright, Aria! At least this is your first time doing this! Unlike Sora!" Kairi laugh as Aria giggled at her female best friend words. "HEY!" Sora puffs an out an angry glare at both of them as they continue to laugh.
"A-anyway! Let's go to the raft! Riku might get mad at us if we continue this laziness and not helping him!" When Kairi mention the raft, Aria eye's began to shimmer. "The raft is almost done?" Kairi smiles at her, giving Aria the signal that the raft is almost done.
Both Sora and Aria started to follow Kairi as they walked towards the raft. "Well, let's go and find out. Riku should be over there, still working on it." Aria giggled. "That's him alright. Finishing the job in the flash!"
Sora smiled at his female best friend. "Indeed."
When Aria, Kairi, and Sora arrived at the shores where the raft stood, all of their eyes shows with amazed in their eyes. Sure, the raft was made out mostly with wood. But it was a masterpiece. A masterpiece that they all have seen. "Wow! It's finally done!" Sora's sky blue eyes gleamed in amazed.
"It's a masterpiece!" Aria happily said. She really wanted to test it, but she knew that there is something that is missing. So she decided not to jump on it. Kairi agrees with her, it was really a masterpiece. "This masterpiece was mostly all me."
There, Riku standing there with a wooden, thick log over his shoulders as he put it down on the pale yellow sand as he playfully glares at them. "You two were always goofing around," Then he turns to look at Aria. "Aria... It's rare for you to goof around with them... Did their goofiness get to you?"
Aria shakes her head. "Not really, Riku... My vision went black all a sudden and I fell asleep. Sorry that I didn't help you with the raft..." Aria apologizes to Riku as he smiles. "It's alright, Aria. It's probably those dreams you keep telling all of us about," Then Riku turns to look at Sora. "But wow Sora, you share a paopu with Kairi? And even try to have one with Aria? Lucky you."
Riku gave Sora a smirk. "Of course me and Kairi didn't do that! Same goes to Aria!" Sora quickly responded to his best friend as Riku chuckled his best friend actions. "Calm down, I was only teasing you, Sora. You're too uptight."
Sora gives Riku a glare, only making Kairi smile and Aria sighs as she counts to three. "One... Two..." Then Riku and Sora smirk at each other as they began to run. "Whoever wins will name our raft!" Sora yells out as he and Riku try to run towards the finishing line. "Three..."
In the end, Riku beat Sora, just like both Kairi and Aria thought. "Man! You beat me to it! Haha! Like always!" Sora laughs, hitting Riku in the back. Soon, silence came over all as the waves from the water keep crashing as Kairi bend down making something.
Both Sora and Riku came back towards Aria and Kairi as they did their own thing. Riku went back working on the raft, Sora went to lay down to relax on a soft rug while helping Riku with the white flag. As for Aria, she was just humming a tone that she had known in her memory.
Aria doesn't remember her past, just like Kairi. All she remembers is her name and this song that stuck in her mind. Every time she sang this song, it'll heal peoples sickness and injuries. Like some kind of miracle.
'Awaken, a song that will heal...'
'People will repeat this song, into their own hearts...'
'In the sky, it shall turn to twilight...'
'I wanted to fill it with love.'
'Knowing everyone will seek the same truth...'
'The true meaning has deeply come in you...'
Riku, Sora, and Kairi listen to the words of her song. They could feel the emotions in it. So heartwarming, yet, sadness in that tone as well. Aria sighs, placing her hand where her heart is. She can feel the emotions in her right now. "I wonder what world we'll see..."
"Yeah... I wonder what places we will find!" Sora agrees with Aria as Riku spoke up while cutting another wooden log. "We'll find out when we reach it. And soon as we travel, we'll find out what kind of world did Kairi and Aria have lived," Riku put down the knife and looks at the ocean. "Thanks to Aria and Kairi, now we all know that there is another world. If they haven't come here, we would never know and live on this island forever."
Then silence came again over the friends until Kairi broke it. "Hey, guys! Look what I have made!" Then she held out a star that was made with pink-ish yellow shells. "It's a charm that is made out of Thalassa shells," That's where things get very interesting. "They say that long ago, sailors would wear these and pray for a safe trip. As they pray, they hope that one day, they will come back." Then she smiles at her little creation.
Aria smiled at her friend and her little creation until she got splash by salt-water. Noticing, it was Sora that did that. She wasn't mad, but she doesn't like to get salt-water to her light-blue eyes. After remembering what happened to Riku and Sora when they got salt-water in their eyes.
"Worry not!" Sora yelled with excitement. "Our adventure awaits for us!" Then he put his hand into a fist while raising it up high as he turns to look at his best friends. "Right, guys?!" They all smiled at his childish behavior. Sora never failed them with his childish behavior to make them smile.
"Yeah!" They all agree with him. This is just the beginning of their adventure.
As hours pass by, the afternoon shining sun glow as Kairi and Aria both agreed that it was time to go home. As they chattered away about the new worlds that they will see, Aria and Kairi remember the time when they were washed out to the shores of Destiny Island. It felt like it was yesterday...
Many years have passed so much. Kairi remembered the time of how she and Aria were washed out to the shores of Destiny Island. Kairi lives with Mayor while Aria lives with somebody else in town. But, they were still best friends, even they both lost their memories.
Kairi remembers the time where she was jealous of Aria. Sure, everyone loves her and treated her well because she was the Mayor's adopted daughter. But Aria in another hand... Aria can heal someone with her healing song. And she can use magic, unlike the other children and herself. On this day forward, she was still jealous of her.
But... Aria was special. A very kind of special that anyone, including herself, can't stop liking her. As her heart is full of hopes and dreams. Full of rights and goals. She is kind, yet mature... Just like Riku. But the only difference between them that Riku can be rude sometimes. Kairi smiled about thinking that thought as both her and her best friend continue walking.
Aria, an adopted daughter who is adopted to someone else. A caring soul and a girl that is full of hopes and dreams. Aria is special like she was a key to someone's heart. A key to finding the person that one day she will love. Kairi still remembers how Aria keep teasing her liking Sora and how Riku keep teasing Sora for like her. Kairi must admit, she did like the brunette, spikey boy that has a childish personality.
"Kairi! Are you alright?" Aria asked the red-haired girl while waving her hand in front of her friends face. "H-huh...?" Kairi broke her thoughts as she saw the concern face exasperation on Aria's face. "O-oh! S-sorry... I was thinking about the past."
"It's alright. Come on, we've better hurry," Aria smiled towards her. As they both walked towards the shore where the wooden rowboats were, both Kairi and Aria waited for Sora and Riku to come as they chatted away once more.
"Think about it Kairi! Sora and Riku are right! If we do this, maybe we can find out where we belong! The places we will discover, the food and clothing! And let's don't forget its history as well!" Aria calmly said to Kairi as she dreams of many places they will find as her light-blue eyes spark like azure water. "Oh! And maybe make some more friends! Maybe I could find someone along the way too..." Aria quietly whispered that last part to herself so Kairi wouldn't hear her.
But it turns out Kairi did hear her as she giggles towards her best friend. "What about Riku? Or Sora?" Now, this got Aria's attention. "H-huh...? What do you mean Sora and Riku?"
Kairi sighs as she still smiles at her. "You like them both, right?" Aria understands what Kairi is going for. "Y-you mean like, like them?" Aria's face started to get heated a bit when Kairi nodded her head. "W-why did you say that? Plus! Sora likes you! And you like Sora! Why do you have to bring this up to me for like, like him? Of course, I like him too. As a friend. As for Riku? I don't know... He's... Well... He's Riku. That we all know and cared about. He's a great friend too."
Kairi giggled at her best friends reaction. Jealous she may be with her powers, but her best friend is just so hard not to hate. Aria is a great friend you could ask for. "By the way... Where did you get THAT idea from?" Aria asked in confusion while blushing a little.
"No where... I could just tell," Kairi simply answers her friend question as she giggles to herself as she unties the rowboats. "W-wha...?" Aria was still confused as she notices that Kairi was looking at something behind her when she turns around to see Riku just give Sora something as he smirks.
"Goodness, they sure like to keep us waiting." Aria politely comments as Kairi giggled while agreeing with her. "Hey, you two! It's time to go!" Kairi called out for them while waving her hand. Aria hops in the boat, waiting for her three best friends to join her.
As Riku and Sora walked towards them, Kairi hops in the other rowboat as they both saw Riku holding something. Which it was a paopu fruit. You can say it was great timing to tease them both right now. "So... Riku... When did you and Sora get romantic feelings for each other?" Both Kairi and Aria asked at the same time as they both smirks at the silver-haired male as Sora didn't hear what the two female had said.
Riku smirk at Kairi. "No need to be jealous Kairi," Then he smiled with a half smirk to Aria. "As for you, Aura, I didn't know that you have fallen in love with S-" Then Aria gently slap him in the back. "Haha! No... I do not, Riku. Don't you dare to get ideas in your mind... Idiot."
Riku just loves the reaction of Aria as he chuckled her cuteness of getting mad at him as he sat down onto his boat where Aria awaited for him. 'Man, there will be lots of teasing to attended to...' He thought as he gently looked at Aria, who was talking to Kairi.
"I'm back mother!" Aria politely said as she opens the front, wooden door as her mother looked up to look at her adopted daughter. "Welcome back, dear. How was Kairi and the others?" Her mother asked while she puts down her book she was reading. "Good! We have lots of work to attend, like always."
"Ah, that's good. Be sure not causing some trouble with your magic, alright." Her mother said with worried in her tone of voice. "I know, mother. I'll be careful for not causing trouble..." Aria said with a smile as she hugs her mother before going to her room.
As Aria left her mother in the room, her mother sighs with happiness. "Aria... You're a very special girl," Then she looks at the pictures of her adopted daughter with her friends when they were eight to nine-years-old. "Your heart is full of beautiful light that never dies. Songs that you hold bring happiness to the people that you love and cared about. I hope that one day you'll find someone that you love the most... To spend time with them with all your heart."
As Aria left her mother, she went towards her bedroom as she got dressed in her sleeping gown. Soonly rested on her bed, Aria looked at the window that was shown the silver-ish, bright moon, glowing down from the clear glass frame as she thought what Kairi and Riku had said to her.
~Flashback~
"What about Riku? Or Sora?" Now, this got Aria's attention. "H-huh...? What do you mean Sora and Riku?"
"You like them both, right?"
Riku smirk at Kairi. "No need to be jealous Kairi," Then he smiled with a half smirk to Aria. "As for you, Aura, I didn't know that you have fallen in love with S-" Then Aria gently slap him in the back. "Haha! No... I do not, Riku. Don't you dare to get ideas in your mind... Idiot."
~Flashback End~
Aria turns her body around. 'Why would Kairi say that? She knows that Sora likes her. So why did she say that to me that I have a crush on him? And Riku? He doesn't seem to be a romance type.' Aria shakes her head. "Nah, I'm thinking too much already. Right now I should get some sleep before I will be like Sora."
Aria laughs to herself. Image Sora waked up late again as Riku teases him as herself and Kairi just watch them running around.
A/n ~ Hey everyone! Thanks for reading this first part! I just wanted to let everyone know that Aria is the reader. If you want to change her name, her hair, eyes or whatever, that's fine by me. The only reason I don't want to do (Y/n) because I was kinda tired doing it over and over again. So please forgive me if you're kinda mad at it. But please try to understand. And yes, Aria is one of MapleStory characters. You can say it's a crossover, but not really.
As some of you know, I do lots of FE things, but... I decided to do Kingdom Hearts for a change. Since KH3 already came out. I'm writing this as my love for Kingdom Hearts. I finish playing KH3 and replaying some of the old KH games as I continue to write this.
If you want to know my opinion with KH3, ask away. And by the way, This is the only A/n I'm doing. I will most likely be doing A/n in the comments since it's kinda annoying how author's keep putting A/n in the middle of the book as an update.
Not to be rude or anything. But telling the truth. But I could understand why the authors did that. This story of Kingdom Hearts will go it's an original storyline, but with a few changes a bit. Anyway, I've better go~!
