In Japanese, Sora means sky. The sky is the one thing we try to reach for. So what if you're name means sky? How far will you go to prove that name is your's?
"Stupid Tai. Why did he get me a bracelet as a graduation gift?" Sora whispered, holding a vintage sapphire blue snowflake bracelet between her finger and thumb. The young red headed 17 year old's thoughts turned back to the day of that incident. That day she needed help to pull herself out of the darkness in her heart. The day she had her trial.
"Am I really that weak that I needed help to get out of the easiest of turmoils. I shouldn't have needed help, maybe Demidevimon was right. I am weak." She whispered, almost ghostly.
She feels a light taping on her shoulder getting harder each second.
"Sora, are you okay?" Kari, Tai's sister, asks the red head.
"Yeah Kari, I'm fine. I'm just thinking about something that happened in the Digiworld before and after you joined us." The younger brunette sighs completely confused.
"Okay Sora, but please try not to dwell in the past because it will hide the light in your heart." Kari says, a hidden knowledge shining in her eyes. Sora blinks in confusion, clearly unaware of how she knew she was thinking of the day she almost lost to the darkness in her heart.
'That Kari, she always knows when something's up, although she never worries about herself.' Soar thinks as Kari leaves the balcony. The warm summer air slightly moving Sora's hair. She gets up from her chair and walks into Tai's house.
"Everyone, I've been thinking of something." She announces to her guests at the party Tai decided to throw for all of the digidestined.
"What is it Sora?" Mimi asks. Kari tries not to show the concern in her eyes for her friend.
Sora looks at Matt with a look that says we wasted to much time, we are telling them. Matt sighs, clearly not ready to tell everyone of the digidestined.
"Well it has to do with what happened when we divided during that whole 'Dark Masters' fiasco. Matt, don't think you're guilty free here, we've been hiding this god awful secret for six years. Sorry but I'm coming clean."
Kari, Yolie, T.K., and Ken exchange a worried glance. Clearly hoping it has nothing to do with the Dark Ocean.
"You see there was this 'cave', it was pitch black in it and well, let's just say it brought the darkness in our hearts to our minds in an unpleasant matter." Matt pitches in.
"So now you decide to tell them." Sora mutters, clearly annoyed at her friend.
"Well, you didn't tell them either!" Matt exclaims, pointing out the truth and sounding a tad bit annoyed. Sora blushes in anger, everyone in the room froze.
"Sora, Matt has a point and Matt, Sora also has a point." Joes says, trying to calm his two friends down.
The two just fall into an awkward silence so they give each other a classic death-glare. Everyone in the room just backs away slowly, trying to avoid Matt and Sora.
"Fine." Sora says in a bratty way. Clearly she was annoyed at Joe and Matt.
Meanwhile in the Dark Ocean, a group of shadow figures stood around their king.
"Soon, we will get the Chosen of Love." GradDragomon says in a whispery, ghost-like voice.
