A/N: Yo, Lexlyk here. Yes, I'm still alive. I'm changing the Story. Meh, I could only come up with things that weren't productive for anything. But, yeah…

I'm at a moot point. I'm low on ideas for this, and yet, I have a lot of ideas for this. I'm gonna write this one as my first story written in a non-chronogically way of order. I'm going to write the 1st chapter and post it soon, and maybe the 2nd chapter next, but other than that, unless I get an idea, I'll update when I've got all the major scenes written. Just for your enjoyment (and to let you know I'm not dead) I'll be making a story where I'll post the major scenes as soon as I finishe them.

I currently am debating on a few things for the story as well, and I'm probably going to have to consult somebody in the exiled before I can come to a decision about them, if you care.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy. I own Ari's character, but nothing else. I don't own the exiled either.

Prologue

My Name is Ari. I'm sixteen years old and currently live in Twilight Town. I live alone. Because of this, everynight, one of my friends either stick around until I fall asleep, or sleep over. They all mean alot to me, and I know I mean alot to them. They do this, to try and protect me.

I used to have a family, like they do. But, not anymore. You see, I was born and raised in Bikanel Desert until I was ten years old. Both my parents were Al-Bhed. One day, some people came attacked our tribe, and my brothers and sisters and I were forced to watch as our parents were killed. My eighteen year old brother, Evan, and my fifteen year old sister, Angel, grabbed me, my nine year old brother Len, my seven year old sister Kalli, my four year old brother Brenden, and my year old brother and sister Sio and Ria. The two of them took us to a hiding spot they knew of nearby. Nobody else knew of it. Nobody else was saved.

Sio and Ria were both dead before we got out of the hiding spot. We stayed there for a week, then came out of hiding. Evan wanted to get us all out, so we grabbed what was left of our things, and ran. We traved for almost a year when we found our way to Twilight Town. By then, Brended was dead as well.

During our fourth month, a few men from the army came and barged into our house. Angel grabbed me, Kalli, and Len and we hid in the basement. Len was struggling against Angel, he wanted to go help our brother. He stayed to protect me until we heard gunfire. He ran out of the basement door, and the army men laughed as he tried to put up a fight. They took him and left me, Kalli, and Angel with Evan's corpse.

We had a quiet funeral for Evan two days later. The entire time, my two best friends, Avery and Carson held my hands. They slept over at my house for a week, to make sure I was okay.

We weren't ever bothered again. Soon after I turned fourteen, Kalli and Angel wanted to go back to our homeland, Spira. I wanted to stay. So, they left me here, and went back on their own. I stayed with Avery and his family until this year, when I could finally afford an apartment of my own.

My group of friends hasn't changed much over the years. In addition to Avery and Carson, there was Clary, Victoria, Tom, Eli, Tabitha, and Catassa. Catassa was the only other best friend other than Avery and Carson.

The wheels of fate, -the wheels of life- started that summer. It started with the death of Eli. After that, we just went on, looking for adventure. We had no idea what kind of an adventure we were getting ourselves into when we decided to search for the cause of Eli's death.

A/N: Soooooo. Whadja think? Please Read and Review, cuz I love you. (E muja oui, in al-bhed)
