Okay. This prelude will not make much sense until I post another chapter or two. I do not know how long this story will be, but rest assured it'll be a fun ride. I'll try to upload chapter one soon, but until then, enjoy this mysterious prelude!
And Happy Thanksgiving, too!

Prelude
"He's a monster, that boy"
"Why does he do these things?"
"He should just leave… that boy"
"That boy…that Sora"
The entire village was slamming doors and whispering lies to the boy named Sora Sky. He did nothing, he said nothing, he was nothing. Not anymore, not ever again.
"That nobody, that SORA"
He used to leave his small house, back when he was loved, back when he had friends. But the people grew to repulse him, to hate him. He was just an outcast. He was just
Sora, the freak, the eccentric, the monster, the nobody.
There was fire, fire all around the house. He called, he cried.
"Mom! Dad! Xion! Roxas!" But his family did not answer, no one answered, not anymore.
His family was dead, and Sora was dead to everyone else, everyone who was still alive.
"That boy should just die. No one wants him here"
"I heard the little bastard burned down his own home… that monster"
"He killed his own family, that freak"
"That Sora"
Sora now lived in a little house, one built out of bark and dust, and from the ashes of his former life. He was poor. He had no money, no life. All he had was a voice and a hammer, some strings and a bad reputation.
"That freak! That Murderer!"
It wasn't me!
"That freak! That Liar!"
Please! I'm telling the truth!
"That freak! That Loveless!"
No! I loved them!
"That freak, that Sora!"
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
And now the boy, the freak, the eccentric, the nobody, the Sora, was behind closed doors, a mystery, enigmatic and ignored. He was a burden on his village and he knew it. He hated it, every day. The words, the fear, the lies.
"He built his house on his family's ashes!"
"That bastard, That Sora!"
Please, stop. I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry
"Roxas was a good boy… it should have been him to live! Not that murderer, that Sora!"
"Xion was so smart and kind… it should have been her to live! Not that freak, that Sora!"
"Why could he have not died, that Sora!"
"He should have burned, that Sora!"
"That liar, that sinner!"
"That Sora!"
That Sinner!
That Ogre!
So Repulsive!
So Atrocious!
That freak, that Sora!
And the little wooden door closed again.
