Prologue
Sora pulled on her cloak, checking the pockets, making sure her throwing knife supply was full. She grabbed her violin case and packed her music inside. She checked for her ironwood staff, picking it up and walking out of her room. She took a look around their house from the hallway and scoffed. It wasn't home. It would never be. She walked to the front door, hoping to not be spotted, but then she felt a tug on her cloak. She looked down, only to see Umi.
"Go back to bed Umi. I have to go." She said softly. Umi's eyes shined with unshed tears.
"You too. I don't want you to leave."
"It is the only way for me to get you out of this nightmare of a house. I'll be back soon."
"Promise?" She smiled, and touched her forehead to Umi's
"I promise princess."
"You ready?" They looked up, only to see Okami.
"Yes. I am."
"Good. I'll take care of Umi. I promise." They all hugged, and she felt a tear slip down her cheek. When they pulled away, she was already gone.
