Slip of Fate
Summary: What if Kairi never landed on Destiny Islands?
A single twist of fate, one little slip- is enough to send many lives tumbling into disaster.
Something collided with the star that carried the chosen daughter of Radiant Garden. All the planets shook when a gentle turn sent the Princess of Light into the bowels of a planet far, far away from her chosen protector- and that was enough to incite a young Aerith's worry. She felt the soft light of the young girl fall away from the planet that was Destiny Islands.
The Cetra had chosen the planet of Isles simply because it was the perfect environment for a young Princess of Heart to grow, and because of the keyblade wielder that existed there. Fifteen old Aeris Gainsborough simply did not have the power to send the girl back on her track, having to focus on saving her home world from total destruction. Minerva had asked her to keep an eye on that child, even as Gaia was being destroyed, and now that the girl was off of her own dying planet, Aerith had to defend her own.
The Cetra could be glad that Zack, her good friend, was off on another planet. She was happy that he was safe, but Aerith couldn't help feeling an ominous thing in her gut. Too many variables were in play now, and even as the teenaged Cetra tried to follow the gentle light radiating off of the girl, she eventually had to give up, and gather the souls she could of her planet, with the Lifestream surrounding her. She brought all of the people still fighting, and thrust them away from the darkness.
But where they all landed was lost to the young Cetra, and as her world faded to black, she lost sight of the young girls light… only to look up and see a younger teen with short brown hair above her, looking down… faintly hearing "You're gonna be alright now…."
~But would the girl?~ That was Aerith's last thought before blacking out.
Sally was out on another of her walks for the Professor, when she came across the comet. "Jack!" The monster called out to her skeletal friend, "We have something big here!"
The scientifically created woman dug through the remains of the crash site, when she happened upon a piece of fabric that appeared to be made of moon silk-so pure and white it was. The fabric lead to the dress, which was long and pure, reminding Sally of the tales of Angels in white robes, and it cut off at the end of the bust, leaving pale shoulders to-
It was then the moving corpse noticed the young girl that was practically engulfed by the dress. The young girl had auburn hair, reminding Sally of the leaves on the trees in Halloween Town, the ones that never actually fell off, and always held a rich color of red. It was also the very same shade of Sally's own hair. On the little girls head, there was a small silver tiara that held onto her head loosely-falling off a bit, actually.
"Oh, for all things in October," Sally could hear Jack whisper as he too got a glimpse of the young girl in white. "She is a Princess of Light. Halloween Town's Princess of Light."
By now, the ghosts and ghouls that were permanent residents of their Town had surrounded the youngling, including Sally's own father. Dr. Finkelstein's attention rested on the young girl that Sally had picked up and held tight in her miss-matched embrace.
The residents of Halloween Town did not know this just yet, but this little girl would play a great deal of roles in the years to come. Namely, when the adventures of a young man named Sora began, almost eight years from that point in time.
