Prologue
Sora, Riku, and Kairi finally returned to the islands together. They had only been back a day when Kairi came to them with a message in a bottle. The message had the King's seal on it, after Sora and Riku read the message they left the island immediately they promised Kairi that they would come back and told her to wait for them.
It's been eight years since then and Kairi is still waiting. She runs the town library now she found Jiminy's journal a year after they left and since then she's been telling everyone on the island about their adventures. No one in the town believes her story and the only ones who did believe her; Wakka, Selphie, and Tidus disappeared five years ago.
Today Kairi is in the library telling the story one last time to four friends. Tama, the only boy in the room and the youngest at thirteen, is lying on his back he had fallen asleep half way through the story. Sitting in a chair to his right, reading is Reise, fifteen and the smartest of the group; she's trying to ignore Kairi by reading a book on astronomy. And to her right leaning against a bookshelf is Senn, sixteen the oldest and the strongest of the group, she's trying to drown out Kairi with her music. Sitting in the middle of the group, fully focused on the story is Hikari, fifteen the fastest of the group as well as Tama's older sister.
These four have been friends for five years now. Senn can wield a sword better then anyone else on the island. Reise has a book of spells that are more powerful than any weapon. Tama is starting to learn how to use the Brotherhood, which washed ashore a few months ago. Hikari doesn't like to fight, she has no weapons, and hates violence, but she's still the fastest person on the island and no one can catch her. Something big is about to happen and the lives of these four will be changed forever.Kairi is just finishing the story, she stands up and looks at them and notices that only Hikari is listening.
