About a year before Kairi arrived at Destiny Islands, there was another little girl who was brought there; she came during a terrible storm that reek of Darkness. And when she was found in the aftermath she had lost nearly all of her memories; her family, her friends, when she was from, and where she called home. All of that had vanished. The only thing she was able to remember was her name and a song. But unbeknownst to her, this little girl has a very special power. And she, in time, will use this power to help and save the worlds and everyone she knows and loves…
Chaos… that was the only word to describe the horrible event that was unfolding at the moment; complete and utter chaos. The once starry night sky was now covered by completely black clouds; deathly-loud thunder and lightning boomed and cackled in perfect harmony with the harsh winds that blew in from all directions and the extremely heavy rain that poured down harshly into the dark raging sea.
In the midst of all this chaos was a little girl, wearing a red hooded-cloak, inside of a small lifeboat. She was clinging to an older woman, who wore a white hooded-cloak, and she was clinging to the little girl and the rim of the boat. They both had their hoods up, so only the lower half of their faces was visible, but you could clearly see tears streaming down the little girl's face. They were forcefully tossed around violently in the giant raging waves of the sea until, unfortunately, a colossal dark wave appeared before the both of them. The little girl gasped as she clung to the older woman even tighter, with the woman attempting to shield the girl with her body.
The wave came crashing down upon them only a moment later, knocking them both out of the boat and into the raging sea's depths. The little girl lost her gripped on the older woman soon after they hit the water. She began flailing around, desperately trying to regain her grip the older woman but had no luck what-so-ever. Instead she kept sinking faster and faster into the dark sea and soon lost consciousness.
However, just as her eyes blink closed, a small bright red glow emerged from her chest and immediately stopped her descend into the sea. It then quickly formed a barrier around her small body, as if trying to protect her. The barrier then emitted a sudden bright flash of red light and teleported the girl out of the deep, cold, and dark sea…
"Uh…Ugh…" the girl groaned as her eyes slowly blinked open, revealing them to be sterling-silver. She slowly pulled her face off the dirt-floor and sat up on her knees, allowing her clothes to be shown; she wore a red, sleeveless zip-up hoodie with a pair of wide front pockets and a sleeveless white shirt underneath, a black pleated skater-skirt, and black Converse high-top sneakers with red laces and black crew socks underneath. Also, her cloak was pinned onto her hoodie by a pair of small silver round pins and there was a silver necklace with a lobster-claw clasp and a pendant around her neck; the pendant itself was a beautiful, sparkling red ruby crafted into a perfect, fully-bloom rose. The girl then pulled back her hood of her cloak as she took in her surroundings; revealing she look about four, had short black hair that turned red at the tips, and pale-white skin. But she was completely soak in seawater and covered in dirt from the floor.
The girl quickly realized she was in a small cave as she slowly turned her gaze all around the cave, examining every inch of it "WH-Where…am I…" she weakly said as her eyes settled on a strange door with a large Keyhole in the back of the cave. She then very slowly got up, walked over to the strange door, and hesitantly touched it.
She stared at it quietly for a few minutes, before hearing rustling noises coming from the other side of the cave. She turned her head to see a large shadow walking towards the entrance to the cave. She gasped before quickly hiding behind a large rock that was close by. She then sat down on her butt and hugged her knees tightly, just as she heard footsteps walk into the cave, stop momentarily, then begin to walk in her direction.
The girl had to cover her mouth to stifle a cry as tears pricked at the corners of her eyes and she began to shake violently as the footsteps got closer and closer. The footsteps then suddenly stop, and the little girl felt like she was being watch.
"Who are you?" she heard a boy's voice asked, she then slowly turned her head to see a boy who looked about five standing before her; he had short silver hair, bright blue-green eyes, and pale skin. He wore a yellow vest with a large collar, blue trim, and was zipped below his collarbone, along with two blue bracelets, one on each wrist, with a yellow stripe in the middle. On his lower body was a pair of black shorts that reach passed his knees, and white and blue slip-on shoes with gray soles.
The girl just stared at the boy, unsure of what to say, "Are you okay?" the boy asked as he knelt down to her level, making her lean back and whimper a bit. "N-N-Not r-really…" she stuttered, just barely loud enough for the boy to hear. A long moment of silence passed before the boy slowly held out his hand "I can help you if you want." He offered as he continued to hold out his hand. The girl then stared at the boy with wide eyes for a moment before moving her stare to his hand.
She didn't know what to say or do, except just stare at his hand and think long and hard about what he just said. It was a very long few minutes of silence before the girl made her decision "Okay…" she quietly said as she slowly took a hold of his hand. The boy smiled and helped her to her feet "I'm Riku, by the way. What's your name?" The girl then smiled a little "I-I'm Ruby." she replied happily as Riku held her hand and began to lead her out of the cave. Just before they walked through the entrance to the cave, however, Ruby glanced back at the strange door one more time before following Riku to the cave exit, which was covered by leaves. Riku then gently pushed the leaves aside and the two walked outside of the cave, only to be hit with bright, blinding light before everything faded to black…
