A/N: I got bored this morning and read the prompt list for this and was instantly mauled by plot bunnies. ^^; I'll still be working on 100 Nostalgic Melodies, but I'll probably work on this more since the word-count limit is smaller and I can write them faster. This will contain some AkuShi and there is a light possibility of RokuShi as well. Maybe.

Thanks to Timber Wolf of Purity for inspiring me by showing that these challenges can be done! :D

1 – Introduction

~When the Light began to shine~

When Xion was created, she fit Saix's description to the letter: an empty shell, a puppet without meaning, a lifeless doll.

Then she was introduced to Roxas, and through him, Axel. She gained an identity from their friendship. They poured memories into her until she was full of life, fit to make memories of her own.

Each memory was a prize that she treasured, both the good and the bad. Like brushstrokes in a painting, the dark bits made the light seem even brighter, weaving together to create a masterpiece.

And it all started with a simple introduction.
