Chapter 1- A New Prince

There once was an unknown island.

The island was buried in heaps of trees, overgrown grass, and exotic plants.
How was the island supposed to stay in fine condition when not even one living soul had yet to notice this lonely sanctuary?

As time went by, people who searched for new land discovered the island. With hope set in their minds and hearts, these voyagers settled on the island and called the new discovery 'home'. Everyone helped out: men chopped down trees, women collected the rare plants, and children plucked out dead grass. Homes were built for families, vegetation was planted all around, and animals had room to graze. As small homes grew into villages and villages became a nation, the island was no longer a quiet little piece of land. No, for after debating and choosing wisely, the small nation turned into a kingdom.

The island was named Destiny Islands and over time, kings would rule one after another.

After many years of the wonderful new life, there was a ruler named King Mercury Fair.
Mercury married a pretty woman from a far away land and the two conceived a son.

The little boy, the new living soul in Destiny Islands was named Zack, Prince Zack Fair. Zack was the only child of the king and queen; and thus he was the heir of Destiny Islands.

But then, everything changed when the queen was excepting another child.
Time went by and the queen gave birth to another baby boy, who was named Xemnas.
Zack was pleased with his baby brother. The young prince declared that one day he, as well as Xemnas, would both be kings and rule Destiny Islands.

-Time Skip-

Everyone in the kingdom agreed and even admitted it.

Prince Zack was a handsome little boy.
He had black hair, just like his mother's, spiky and pushed to the back. His bangs framed his face which made his sky-blue eyes pop out. Girls loved Zack's eyes, they glimmered whenever the sunlight beamed off of them, and Zack's smile was one of a kind.

As a child, the prince was always full of energy; this led to his mother and father giving him the nickname 'Puppy.' And of course, Zack did not approve of the nickname. He protested that he was not a puppy, but a strong prince that could destroy any enemy. The king and queen merely laughed, stating that when Zack grew up the name would go away.
And the name did eventually go away. Zack the Puppy was forgotten as the prince matured into a young man.

On his fifteenth birthday, Prince Zack received a weapon named 'Buster Sword' from his parents.
Instead of goofing around all day like he used too, Zack trained and trained everyday with his sword. He wanted to grow strong and be able to defend his kingdom. Training was not easy; the prince learned that when he earned himself an 'x' shaped scar on his cheek. The training paid off though. Prince Zack was well-built and even stronger than his father, proving that the day they sparred against each other.

And yet, Zack had a personality that never seemed to go away. Prince Zack Fair was a ladies' man.

Now his younger brother, Xemnas, was quite different.

Xemnas inherited the same yellow eyes as his father, but Xemnas' eyes were full of hate unlike his father's, who were full of joy. The younger brother had long, silver hair that stopped mid-way his back and he had bangs just like Zack. Even though Xemnas often spent his time indoors, he had tanned skin unlike Zack who had light skin.

The king and queen worried about their youngest son, he never seemed to like interacting with other people. Xemnas was a quiet child, only playing with himself and ignoring others. Prince Zack was the only one who could make his younger brother come out of his shell.

-Time Skip-

The years went by and the two brothers became distant from each other, hardly communicating or interacting.

Zack did not mind, he would rather spend his time training and helping those in need.
Speaking of which, one afternoon the prince decided to take a stroll through the gardens. He needed to clear his head and besides, today was such a beautiful day.

As the prince walked through the wonderful paradise, he spotted the gardener planting fresh roses. Right beside the gardener was a young girl who appeared to be the same age as Zack. The girl stood up from her kneeling position and headed towards the direction of the prince. She held a basket of violets in her hand and kept her head down.

Just as she passed the prince, the basket full of flowers slipped out of the girl's hand and dropped to the ground.

"Here let me help you," Zack said to the girl as he picked up the basket.

"Thank you." As the girl received her basket back, she bowed her head in respect, and walked away.

Zack had never seen such a beautiful girl before.
She had emerald green eyes that sparkled even without the sun shining on them. Her hair was long and caramel brown, that was tied up in a braid.

After that day, Zack would visit the gardens just to see the girl. The girl happened to notice the prince one day and smiled at him. Once Zack saw that smile his heart melted. He went up to the girl and started to talk to her.

Her name was Aerith Gainsborough.

Sometime later the two started dating, which made the king and queen pleased. No one in the kingdom cared that Aerith was the daughter of a gardener. As long as the prince was happy then everyone else was happy too.
While strolling through the village after one of their dates, Zack bought Aerith a pink ribbon. Aerith tied the ribbon in her hair and promised to keep it forever.

As time went by in the islands, Zack and Aerith became closer than ever. The day came and Zack proposed to Aerith. Of course she accepted and the two were married.
The kingdom celebrated with joy, for Zack was now king of Destiny Islands.

Together King Zack and Queen Aerith Fair ruled Destiny Islands for over a year. "I promise you that I will protect you with my life, I swear."

"Zack," Aerith replied with a small grin. "You don't have to promise me anything. As long as we are together I am happy."

And so King Zack kissed his beloved wife, he was always going to be by her side.

*Circle of Life Plays*

It was early dawn; the sun still had not risen.

King Zack stood on a balcony that overlooked the islands. The waves splashed along the sandy shore. The salty air smelled wonderful this morning. Seagulls flew in the sky, chirping with delight as a new day was beginning.

Today was a perfect day, yes it was and it couldn't be any better. Yet, he could not wait much longer. How long had it been, hours?

It was around midnight when his wife felt the pain.

After realizing what was happening, the king called out to every healer, maid, and servant in the castle. Once the staff arrived at the royal chamber, they were by the queen's side, aiding her in any possible way they could. Zack waited patiently outside the bedroom, pacing back and forth. After about a pace or two, he decided to go back in and stay by his wife's side.

Just as the king stepped foot in the bedroom, one of the maid kicked him out. "I am sorry your majesty, but you cannot come in." ordered the Lady in Waiting Rydia as she shut the doors.

Zack, King Zack wasn't allowed to see his own wife! As he shook his head in disbelief, the king heard cries and moans coming from his wife. Oh how he hated hearing Aerith cry out in pain, it just broke his heart.

The king walked away from the bedroom and headed toward the one balcony that faced the entire village. Since midnight, he had been here, watching the waves roll along the beach.
As the sun began to align with the horizon, he noticed people were starting to gather around the castle.

The time had come.

Zack heard footsteps echoing down the hall and he waited to see for whoever was approaching.

A man with bright orange hair skidded to a stop before Zack and bowed to him. Wakka, his loyal adviser smiled as he raised his head to face the king. Zack smiled back and hoped for the best.

"Your majesty, it is a boy," Wakka cheered with a huge grin planted on his face.

King Zack took a step back; he couldn't believe what he just heard. "Did you say a boy?"

Wakka shook his head, "Yes, healthy and safe."

"What about Aerith?" The king wanted to make sure that nothing had gone wrong during the child birth.

"She is also healthy and safe."

Zack was filled with happiness, for he had a son. A prince, he thought. His first born, he was a father. "This is… amazing!" Finally, Zack was a parent and now he could spend time with his son.

He looked down upon his kingdom and saw that people were bowing down to a man.
But he was not just any man. He was Sazh, a loyal helper to the kingdom.

King Zack ran down to the front doors to great his old friend. They hugged and laughed. Together the two men entered the castle and made their way to the bedroom.

"Sazh, it is a boy!" Zack told his friend with glee.

"Congratulations, your majesty! That is great!"

"I'm a father," said the king.

The loyal helper placed a hand on the king's shoulder, "You will be a wonderful dad, Zack."

As they walked down the halls, people smiled and congratulated the king. At last, they made it to the king and queen's bedroom.

Sir Auron and Lady Paine stood guard outside the chamber, protecting the queen and newborn prince. Once they saw Zack and Sazh, they grinned with a look of congrats. Slowly, Auron and Paine opened the bedroom doors where the Queen was waiting. Nervous and yet excited, Zack walked in the room with Sazh just a step behind.

There, on the bed, was his wife Aerith.
Queen Aerith looked terribly tired; her hair was messy, sweat was dripping down her forehead, and her beautiful eyes showed exhaustion. She was holding a bundle of blue blankets while beaming down at the tiny infant.

Aerith noticed her husband. She smiled and that smile made Zack's heart melt.

Sazh stepped towards Aerith and laughed softly. "Looks like he has Zack's hair," Sazh turned to Zack and chuckled once more.

The king raised an eyebrow, "Huh? Let me see."

It was true.
The little baby in Aerith's arms had hair like Zack, spiky and all over the place. His hair color was caramel brown just like his mother's. The baby's eyes opened and they were as blue as the sky. Zack's heart gave a little jump as he gazed at the baby. No, not baby, his son. He couldn't take his eyes off his son.

"Any names your majesty?" Sazh asked.

The queen pondered for a moment. "I haven't thought of any."

"Hey I got one," answered Zack. The name popped in his head even before he realized it. "How about Sora?"

"Sora," Aerith repeated.

"What does it mean?" asked Sazh.

Zack gazed out the window. "It means the 'sky. Just like the color of his eyes."

"I love it," replied Queen Aerith with a look of love in her expression.

Aerith kissed Sora's head and passed him to Sazh. Sazh carried Sora in his arms then nodded. One of the guards, Sir Noctis, entered the room holding a glass case. Inside the case was a new, shiny crown. Carefully, Zack opened the case and picked up the crown. Gently, he placed the crown on top of Sora's head and smiled.

"It's time." Sazh told them. Together, all three of them walked out the bedroom and towards the balcony that overlooked the village.

The sun was starting to raise high in the sky. King Zack could hear the mumbles of the villagers. He glanced upwards smiling, and then held his wife's hand. Aerith grinned back at Zack and nodded slowly. After waiting so long, they were parents.

Sazh peeked down and saw the villagers eager to see the new prince. He took a glimpse at the sun and then back down again.
The moment happened and Sazh lifted Sora into the air.

Everyone cheered as they welcomed Prince Sora. The guards shot their guns into the air as a salute. Slowly, the sun shined over the kingdom and over the castle.

Destiny Islands became quiet as the villagers bowed down to the Prince.
