Anyway, I really don't feel like re-typing this one, but if you give me at least one good, detailed review, I think I'll keep adding on the chapters.

Brandon: What the heck do you mean 'You don't feel like re-typing this'?

Sonic13: Brandon, what are you doing here?

Brandon: Uh, I really don't know, but I have a reason for being here!!

Sonic13: You're supposed to be getting ready for the story. You know, preparing yourself and what not?

Brandon: Hey, I'm ready for anything you can dish at me!!

Sonic13: Anyway, this story doesn't focus on the Keyblade Master's part in legend, you know, with the 'Doors'. It focuses on…

Kingdom Hearts: Shine of the Twilight

By: Sonic13

Prologue: A Hero's Independence

The boy stormed out of the door and into the night, carrying only a book bag, filled with clothes, money, and food. The boy didn't hesitate to look back at his mother's face; instead, he made a mad dash, stopping in the middle of the street. He wore a dark blue zipper hoodie, which was only zipped up to halfway, baggy shorts, and red and blue Adidas. Underneath the hoodie, barely visible, was a red colored shirt. He had dark brown eyes, and short black hair.

"Greg, please come back into the house!!" his mother called out to him, sounding a bit worried.

The boy turned and looked into her eyes, then turned away again. "Not this time, mom. I'm leaving, for good this time, and I probably won't see you for awhile."

"But…" she didn't know what to say. She had to make up something to make him stay. "You haven't finished school yet. Why not stay and finish school."

With a smile on his face, Greg turned back to his mother. "Mom, if you're worried, you don't need to be. Where I'm going, there's a school, so I can finish there." The boy looked down at the ground. It had started to rain. "I've thought about this a lot, and I think it's time for me to leave."

"But…" he mother tried to say something. Something that would make her son stay a bit longer, but nothing came out. Only tears, which rushed down her face, spoke up, telling the boy that his mother didn't want him to leave. She smiled, sadness still visible in her brown eyes. "I understand…" she paused for a moment. "Just… be careful, okay?"

Greg grinned, pulling his hood over his head, shrouding his face. He also did that so that the rain wouldn't get his head wet. "Aren't I always?" He then dashed off into the night, leaving his mother at the doorstep.

Minutes later…

The young teen had almost traveled his whole neighborhood, before coming to his destination. It was a house, sitting on a small-sloped hill, along with other houses. Greg dashed up the driveway and up to the door, quietly tapping it three times. A boy, with dirty blonde hair, peaked his head out the door.

Greg frowned at the boy. "What are you doing?" he asked. "We have to get going. My uncle is waiting to take us to the boat."

"Well, I was getting ready to eat something, but since you're ready to go at…" the boy turned his head, looking toward a clock, then looked back at Greg. "One thirty seven, in the morning, then let's go." The boy stepped out the house, wearing black basketball shorts, a white shirt, and black and white skater shoes. On his back, he carried a bag similar to Greg's. The boy's name was Brandon.

"Alright, let's get over to my Uncle's house, he's probably waiting." Greg implied, as he dashed off into the night, again.

"Hey, wait up!!!" Brandon shouted, rushing after his friend. "I still can't believe we're doing this!!" he shouted out into the dark, hoping Greg had heard him.

After about five long minutes of running, Brandon caught a glimpse of Greg, standing beside a small pickup truck. Brandon slowly came to a stop, bending over to start panting.

"You… could have… slow down a bit." Said Brandon, between breathes.

"Sorry about that, guess I'm eager to get going." Greg grinned, rubbing the back of his head.

"Let's get going." Demanded a man, who was standing next to Greg. Most likely, it was Greg's uncle. The man quickly entered the driver's seat and started the truck up. Greg and Brandon were quick to hop into the back. Before they knew it, they were on the road, far from home.

The next morning…

"Hey, Greg!! Wake your lazy butt up, we're here!!" Greg could hear Brandon's voice, being shouted into his ear. His eyelids slowly opened, showing his brown eyes.

"Aww man, are we at the docks already?" he asked, as he leaned up. He let out a yawn, and then looked around. His eyes lit up as the clear, ocean water came into view. He quickly jumped to his feet, and out of the back of the truck.

"Hey, slowdown."

"How about you hurry it up!!" Greg replied, coming to a stop. He had run out to the edge of the docks, and was now looking out at the horizon. "Just think Brandon, our new life is just over the horizon."

"Did you mimic that from some lame show?" Brandon replied, as he came to a stop beside Brandon. "Or were you trying to state the obvious?"

"Hey, you two be careful!!! Come back and visit sometime!!" shouted Greg's uncle, as the truck pulled off. Greg turned and waved him off.

"We will, thanks for the ride!!" Greg shouted in reply.

"This sunrise is… all beautiful and what not, but are we going to find the boat?" Brandon asked. No one replied. "Hey, did you hear me?" He turned to see that Greg was gone. "Ack!! Where did he go?"

"Hey, Brandon!!!" Brandon turned toward the voice, watching Greg getting ready to board a ship. "Are you coming, or what?"

"Wait for me!!!" Brandon shouted, rushing over to his friend.

Before they knew it, they had boarded the ship and were on their way to their new home.

Two days later…

It took the boat two days to reach the two teens' destination, the Destiny Islands. The two of them were so excited, rambling on and on about how they would live out the rest of their lives. Of course, they would return home eventually, to visit their friends and family.

"Ahh, smell that Greg? That fresh air?" Brandon asked, as he took a deep breath.

"Of course! It isn't like I can't breath through my nose." Greg replied, as he looked out toward the island.

The main island was huge, and it held many buildings on it. It was surround by several other islands, two of which had buildings also. The islands were filled with all sorts of life. Fruit trees could be seen all over the island, along with small children, and a few teens here and there. One teen caught Greg and Brandon's eyes quickly. The boy wore a yellow shirt, with no sleeves, and a pair of blue pants, with shoes to big for his feet. But that's not what got their attention first. The first thing that grabbed their attention was the boy's white hair.

"Hey Greg, take a look at that kid right there." Brandon pointed out at the white-haired boy. "Isn't that strange, having white hair?"

"Yeah, that is weird. I haven't seen anyone with white hair, besides old people, but then again, their hair is grayish white. This kid has perfectly white hair, and it's pretty long too." Greg couldn't help but stare at the boy, for looking so… so strange.

"Anyway, we better get off this boat. If you haven't noticed, the boat has already docked." Brandon implied, as he picked up his bag of clothes. Greg did the same.

"Alright, let's go." Greg replied, as he followed Brandon off the ship.

The sand was so warm underneath Brandon's feet, is what Brandon said after departing from the ship. "I'm sure it is. It's obvious that the sun is heating it up, but how do you know? You're wearing shoes, or have you forgotten?" Greg asked, folding his arms across his chest.

"I can feel the heat through my shoe, duh!!" Brandon replied.

"Sure… maybe you should get some new shoes then." Greg implied, walking off.

"Hey, where you going?" Brandon asked, rushing to Greg's side.

"The town, why? I want to see what it's like."

"Oh, in that case, why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought you were feeling the warm sand through your shoes, again, so I didn't bother."

"It couldn't have hurt to ask, you know?"

Greg replied to Brandon with a smile and a nod.

The town of Destiny Island seemed enormous, for an island town. There were ice cream parlors, clothing stores, markets, and other buildings. Greg and Brandon were fast to get lost in the town, and it seemed that they kept passing by the same store. It was then, that they saw a boy, about their age, riding a skateboard toward them. I mean, they've seen other people their age walking in the town, it's just this one seemed to stand out to them.

The boy had spiky brunette hair and wore a red shirt, with red shorts, a black and white hoodie, and big yellow shoes. He also wore white gloves, and a small chain around his neck with a 'crown' charm. His sky blue eyes caught a glimpse of the two before he slowed to a stopped, kicking his skateboard into his hand.

"Hiya!" the boy smiled.

"Uh… hey?" Brandon replied, nervously. He had wondered why the boy had stopped in front of them. They were staring at him like he was a monster, so that could be the reason.

"What's up?" Greg smiled back.

The boy's eyes scanned the two young teens, and then it seemed like he had come to a conclusion. "I'm guessing you two are new here, am I right?" Greg and Brandon nodded slightly, and the boy smiled again.

"Wow, he sure is the smiley type. I wonder how long he can go without smiling?" Brandon thought to himself.

"Well, my name is Sora! It's nice to meet you." The boy gave them another carefree smile.

"Wow, I guess he can't go for long…" Brandon gave the boy a nervous smile in return.

"Nice to meet you too, Sora. My name is Greg." Greg replied, giving the blue-eyed boy a smile too.

"And I'm his best buddy, Brandon!!" Brandon replied, sounding a bit normal and not nervous.

"It's nice to meet you both. So, what brings you to this little island?" Sora couldn't help but ask. It was rare that someone came to visit or move to the island.

"Well, the truth is that we're moving here." Greg smiled.

"You and your parents?"

"Naw, just us…" Brandon replied, in a less energetic tone.

"Guess you guys felt it was your time to get out and go, huh?" Sora had hit it right on the money. The boys did feel that way, like they needed to get out and live a little.

"That's exactly how we felt back at home."

"Anyway, how 'bout I introduce you to all my friends? They'll be thrilled to have someone new around." Sora implied, leaning on his skateboard.

"Sure, why not?" Greg replied, thinking of what his friends could be like.

"Follow me then, I'm sure I know where they're at." Sora smiled, turned, and began walking in the opposite direction with his skateboard in hand. Greg and Brandon followed closely behind him, as he began describing his friends.

"I wonder if the kid with the white hair is one of his friends?" Brandon thought to himself.

The Ice Cream Parlor…

The crimson-headed girl took a small bite out of her Sea Salt Ice Cream. The crimson-headed girl was sitting at a table, with two other girls. One girl had blonde hair, where as the other had brunette. The crimson hair girl wore a white tank, with a purple skirt. Her eyes were blue and she had a black band around her neck, and one black band and one yellow band around her right wrist. On her feet, she wore white shoes. The brunette girl wore a yellow, overall dress and sandals. On her left wrist she wore a bracelet of beads and her eyes were green. The last girl hair short blonde hair, which went halfway down her neck. She wore a blue skirt, a white shirt, and white tennis shoes.

The table was real quiet. No one said a word, probably because each of them had brain-freeze from the ice cream.

"So Kairi," the brunette girl began. She glanced over at over at the crimson-headed girl, taking a brief break from her ice cream. "How are you and Sora doing?" The crimson-headed girl didn't seem to hear her question; she was too busy looking out the window. "Hey, Kairi!! Are you listening to me? Did you hear what I said?" the brunette sounded infuriated. The crimson-headed girl, Kairi, was snapped out of thought by her friend's voice.

"Sorry, what were you saying?" Kairi asked, glancing over to the brunette.

The brunette grumbled something, and then turned away. "Never mind."

"I said I was sorry Selphie…" said Kairi, sounding a bit hurt. The brunette, Selphie, said nothing in reply. Instead, she continued to lick her ice cream, completely ignoring Kairi.

"Allow me then." The blonde implied, finally breaking her streak of silence. "She wanted to know how you and him were doing? It's clear that you had him on your mind at the time of the question." The blonde smiled, licking her ice cream again.

"Oh!!" Kairi could feel her face turning red. "We're… doing fine. Why do you ask?" she turned to Selphie for an answer.

"I don't know. I just felt like asking, and seeing your face like that." Selphie chuckled for a moment. "But seriously, you should stop thinking about him for at least a minute." Her tone was stern.

"I guess so… What do you think, Tami?" Kairi asked, turning to the blonde.

The blonde, named Tami, shrugged as a reply. "It doesn't matter to me. As long as no guy comes along and makes me think about him like you think about Sora, I'll be fine." Tami grinned slightly, glancing over at Selphie. "So Selphie, how are you and Tidus? Or was it you and Wakka?"

Selphie's eyes widened at that remark, and then she glared over at Tami, who was giggling to herself. "HAHAHAHA!!!" Selphie uttered, forcing the laugh. "That's so funny, I forgot to laugh! You know all too well that I don't like either of them." Selphie noticed another smile on Tami's face. "And I don't like Riku either!" she was quick to shout.

"Geez, calm down Selph. I was only kidding around. The same way you were kidding with Kairi." Tami grinned and Kairi couldn't help but giggle at Selphie's facial expression.

"Well, we all know you have a crush on Riku." Selphie grinned evilly. Kairi glanced at Tami, to see if she was blushing, but she wasn't. She just laughed the joke off.

"Yeah, the same way you have one on Tidus. Or was it Wakka, I can't seem to remember." Tami chuckled again, along with Kairi.

"You won this battle, but the war is far from over!" shouted Selphie, raising her ice cream into the air. Tami and Kairi sighed.

"You really watch too much TV."

"So, what's your point?" Selphie asked, taking a bite out of her ice cream. It was then, that she noticed Sora coming toward the ice cream parlor, followed by two other guys. "Here comes your boyfriend, Kairi." Uttered Selphie, turning to her friend. Kairi shifted in her sit and watched as Sora, and two other guys, came walking into the parlor. Sora looked around, and Kairi motioned to where they were.

"What's up girls?" Sora asked, as he came and stood next to the table. He leaned the skateboard against the table and smiled. Greg and Brandon stood by his side. Greg was smiling and Brandon… well, Brandon was trying to get his hands on some ice cream.

"Hey Sora, how's it going?" Tami asked. Her eyes traveled to the boy standing closest to Sora. Her eyes met with Greg's, and she quickly turned away and started playing with her ice cream. "And who're your friends?"

"Oh, right! These are my new buddies; Greg and Brandon." Sora replied, motioning to each other them. Greg smiled once again and gave them a small wave. "Guys, these are the girls of the group; Kairi, Tami, and Selphie." He motioned to each of them as he spoke their name.

"It's nice to meet you all." Greg smiled. Brandon pushed Greg and Sora out of the way, with a big smile.

"How ya doin' ladies?" he smiled slyly. Greg sighed as a react to his action.

"We're, quite fine, thank you." Replied Selphie, sounding annoyed by Brandon's approach.

"Selphie, you don't have to be so rude to everyone you meet." Kairi implied, biting into her ice cream once again, finally able to finish it off.

"Well, he seems annoying, you know?" Selphie asked. Tami gave her a nod.

"What!!" Brandon shouted. He turned and began walking toward the door.

"Aww, you hurt his feelings." Kairi implied to Selphie. Selphie slowly pointed her finger at Tami.

"C'mon Greg, we gotta find the guys, so you can meet them too. Brandon has already got a head start." Sora smiled, grabbed his skateboard, and dashed out the door.

"Well, it was nice meeting you all." Greg waved to the girls as he headed for the door. "And don't worry about Brandon, he'll be back to give it another shot!!" Greg shouted, as he rushed off to follow Sora.

"Oh, that's just great…" Selphie began, finishing off her ice cream.

"Well, that last one seemed nice." Tami implied, as she finished her ice cream as well.

"Yeah, if you say so. How 'bout we go find the others?" Selphie asked, standing up and stretching her arms.

"Yeah, let's go." Kairi agreed, as she stood from her seat and headed toward the door. Tami and Selphie followed.

"So, now you have a crush on the Brandon kid?" Tami whispered to Selphie.

"Oh shut up. I saw how you were looking at the Greg kid." Selphie grinned a little, because this time, Tami was blushing.

"Hush it!" she whispered in retort.

"Yes!! I've won this battle!!" Selphie shouted, drawing people's attention.

Kairi turned her head back a little. "What are you two talking about?"

"Well, Tami," Selphie began. Tami quickly put her hand over Selphie's mouth, stopping Selphie from speaking.

"Oh nothing, just talking about ice cream!" Tami laughed nervously. Kairi shrugged and turned her head to back.

"So, you do like him?" Selphie whispered, with her eyes narrowed. Tami replied to her comment with a death glare, which made Selphie giggle.

South Shoreline…

"Hey Tidus, watcha doin'? Thinking about Selphie again?" asked a boy with orange hair. He smiled at the boy with brown hair, who was looking out at the ocean. The brown-headed boy wore a yellow and white jacket, unzipped, with no shirt underneath. On his legs, he wore blue shorts, one shorts leg shorter than the other. On his feet he wore sandals. The orange-hair boy wore a tan vest with orange pants. On his feet he also wore sandals.

The brown-haired boy glared back at the orange-haired boy. "Will you shut up Wakka? You know I don't like her!" The boy grinned slyly. "And why would I be thinking about your girlfriend?"

Wakka's eyes-widened. "Whatever Tidus. I know you like Selphie, or was it Tami?"

"Why you!" Tidus glared at Wakka again.

"Will you two cut it out?" a voice called out. The boys looked around and then saw a white-haired boy. The boy wore a yellow vest with blue pants, black gloves, and white shoes with a large blue stripe on each.

"Oh, what's up Riku?" asked Tidus, giving the white-haired boy a smile.

"Have you two seen Sora?" Riku asked folding his arms over his chest.

"Nope. Last time I saw him, he was skateboarding his way to the markets, I think." Wakka replied, placing his hand on his chin.

"I guess I'll find him there then." Riku sighed and unfolded his arms, placing his hands in his pockets. He turned to walk away before Tidus opened his mouth.

"Hey, here he comes." Tidus pointed down the shore. Riku and Wakka turned their attention towards where Tidus was pointing.

"Hey guys!!" Sora began to wave as he saw the others glance over at him.

"It's the kid with the white hair!!" Brandon yelled in his mind.

Sora slowed to a stop, and began catching his breath, along with Greg and Brandon. He smiled at the others, who were looking at Greg and Brandon with confusion.

"Sora, who are those two?" Wakka asked, scratching the back of his head.

"Oh, these are my new friends; Greg and Brandon." Sora replied, motioning to each of them.

"Nice to meet you guys." Greg implied, giving them a wave.

"Yeah… what he said…" Brandon added, still trying to catch his breath.

Sora turned to Greg and Brandon. "These are my best buds; Riku, Tidus, and Wakka."

"It's nice to meet you too" Tidus smiled.

"Yep." Wakka added, as Riku gave them a small nod.

"If I'm not correct, that's everyone." Sora smiled, and then glanced at everyone. "Now, what to do?"

"There is nothing to do, so don't even try to think of something." Tidus added in.

"I guess you're right." Sora turned his attention to the ocean. "If only we had some excitement on this island."

"Let's throw a party, for the new guys!" Tidus blurted out. To the others, it wasn't a bad idea. They did just meet some new people, so it would be cool for them to show them some island hospitality. Also, that would provide some excitement for the night.

Wakka thought for a moment, and then nodded. "Yeah, that'll be cool." He turned to Greg and Brandon. "And the party will be for you two."

"That's great!!" Brandon shouted with joy. "And then we can get to know all of you better!!!"

"You guys don't have to do that for us. Really, you don't." Greg added. He was sounding as if they were offering too much.

"Nonsense, it'll be great." Tidus grinned. "And we'll have the party at Selphie's house."

Brandon's happiness faded away in an instant after hearing that name. "If… I'm not correct… that's the evil girl that was at the ice cream parlor."

"Evil?" asked Selphie. She had appeared beside Brandon, along with Tami and Kairi, and she wasn't looking too happy. "Did you just call me 'evil'?" she repeated herself.

"No, no!!! I never said that!!" Brandon began waving his hands around. "I… uh… I said…" Nothing came out of his mouth. He had no excuse that was going to save him this time, and from the way Selphie was glaring at him, he needed one.

Selphie began tapping her foot on the ground. "I'm waiting for the pitiful excuse that you're going to use."

"Give him a break Selphie. He was only speaking the truth." Tidus implied, stepping between the two. "Besides, he's new here, so let it slide."

"So, you think I'm evil too, huh?" she asked, giving him a death glare.

"Okay, okay, that's enough." Kairi began. "You two act like this every time you two meet."

"No we don't!!" the two said in unison.

"Let them argue. We have a party to plan!!" shouted Sora.

"Party?" Kairi asked.

"Yeah, we're going to throw a party for Greg and Brandon at Selphie's house." Sora explained to Kairi.

Selphie turned to Sora, giving him a death glare. "My house!?! Why my house?" She had forgot all about her argue with Tidus, who was still arguing.

"Because, your house is the biggest, and your parents aren't home all week." Wakka replied.

She thought about it for a minute, and then came to a conclusion. "Fine, but afterward, you all have to clean up the mess." Everyone nodded. "Alright, let's get to it!!"

Later that night…

The party for Greg and Brandon turned out to be amazing. Everyone on the island was invited, if they knew Selphie. There wasn't that much food, because Sora and Brandon had an eating contest, but there were games and some music.

The night was still young, and the party was at its peak. The music was pounding and the people were having a blast of fun. Greg, who was getting a headache from the constant yelling and Sora's belching, decided that he had to take a break from the party and walked off.

Selphie's house was the closest, on her island, to the ocean, so Greg didn't have to walk far to get down to the water. He could still hear the music, but it wasn't loud enough to bother his head anymore.

Hiding behind a nearby tree was Tami, who was watching Greg from afar. She sighed to herself. "I can't believe I'm actually doing this." She uttered to herself. "Why is he drawing my attention like this?" she asked herself, as she glanced at the ground.

It was weird. Tami had not a guy who was like this one. She didn't know what it was about this one, but he was different. Even though she didn't want to believe it, she was attracted to him, somehow.

Greg sighed, as the pain as he head began to fade away. He sipped the fruit juice from a cup he had brought outside with him, and then glanced back out at the ocean. "To start over…" he chuckled to himself. "This isn't starting over, this is avoiding the problem." He sipped his drink again. "He could have followed me here, it's that simple."

"Who could have followed you here?" asked a voice. Greg turned around quickly, readying himself for a fight. He calmed his self once he noticed it was Tami.

"Oh, its just you Tami." He smiled. "You shouldn't sneak up on people like that."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you." Tami replied nervously, looking at the ground.

"It's okay, don't sweat it. What are you doing out here?" he asked.

"I was going to ask you the same thing."

"Well, I was just trying to get away from the loud music. It was giving me a headache."

"Yeah, that's the same reason why I'm out here." She lied. She couldn't tell him that she was spying on him. He would think she was weird or something.

There was a moment of silence, as the two stared out at the ocean. Neither of them bothered to say a word, and Greg was feeling a bit nervous for some reason.

"So, uh... how long have you live here?" Greg asked nervously, as he rubbed the back of his head.

"I moved here one year ago." Tami replied, now looking at the ground. "I don't really remember much before moving here. The only thing I can remember is a girl with long, blonde hair."

There was another moment of silence before Greg spoke up. "It must be hard, not remembering your loved ones and all."

"Yeah…" Tami raised her head and stared over at Greg. "Why'd you and Brandon decide to move here?"

Greg glanced over at the blonde girl, looking into her eyes. "I… uh…" he began nervously. "I hate the look girls give me!!" he thought to himself, trying to get over his nervousness. "It's a long story." He uttered, looking away.

Tami smiled and moved a little closer to him. She could see that he was getting nervous. "Well, we do have the whole night. I'm sure that's enough time." Her eyes met with Greg's again.

"Uh, yeah… We do have the night." He laughed nervously. "Well, if you really want to hear it, then I guess I can tell you." He sat down in the sand and smiled at her nervously. "C'mon, sit down." Motioning to the spot next to him.

As requested, Tami took a seat next to the brown-eyed teen. She smiled again, still noticing that he was nervous. "Anytime you're ready to start."

"Well, it all started…" Greg began, but was interrupted by laughter.

"What was that?" Tami asked. She couldn't help but grab onto Greg's arm. They both stood up, glancing around.

"It's him." Greg replied, looking around.

"Him who?" Tami asked.

"The guy that is the reason for me and Brandon coming to this island. We were trying to get away from him."

The laughter returned, even more loudly. "Go on, Keybearer of Twilight, tell the story to your little girlfriend there. Tell her how I caused you the pain that plagues you 'til this day."

"Shut up!! Leave us alone!!" Greg shouted into the night.

"Now you have even more people to worry about." The voice laughed again. Greg quickly looked over to Tami, who was trying to figure out who was talking. She seemed so scared, clutching Greg's arm as tightly as she could.

"But, I won't disturb you tonight. We'll meet soon enough, Keybearer of Twilight." The voice laughed, as it seemed to fade into the night.

"Is he gone?" Tami asked, looking around yet again.

"Yeah, I believe so." Greg replied.

Tami quickly let go of Greg's arm. She could feel face turning red, and the moonlight was shining on her face, so Greg could see it. "So, umm, who was that?" she asked.

"Greg!! We need your help!!!" shouted a familiar voice. Greg and Tami turned toward Selphie's house to see Riku and Brandon yelling toward them.

"What's going on?" Greg shouted in reply.

"Kairi's disappeared!!! We need your help to find her!!" Riku explained.

"Yeah, Sora and the others went ahead already. C'mon, we have to find her!!" Brandon added, running off. Riku followed.

"Alright, we're coming!!" Greg began to rush off, but Tami quickly grabbed his arm. He turned back, only to see her eyes full of worry. "What is it, Tami?" he asked.

"Greg, who was that? And why'd he keep calling you the Keybearer of Twilight?" she asked.

Greg eyes stared into Tami's. "I don't know why he keeps calling me that…." His eyes drifted toward the ground. "The only thing I know is that his name is…"

"What is it?"

"Vecton Rambosa…"
