Prologue:
There was a flash, a moment of silence and then the world burned down around her.
She tucked down as the weight of a sound louder then a billion thunderclaps slammed down on her. Her ears began to bleed as he looked up to the horror of a burning world. Green fire rained down from the sky, as black ash twirled up into the sky and bloated out the sun.
She could not think, she could not comprehend what was happening. One moment she walking home from school, the next she was chocking on ash.
Everything around her was either dead, dieing or twitching somewhere in between, this was the end. She ran.
Her legs ached, her lungs burned, but she continued. Operating on instinct alone, she ran to the sea, it would protect her, she knew it.
She reached the shoreline and sprinted into the beach, had she been there before? It looked familiar, but she had no time to think, she had to reach the ocean. The sand beneath her felt heavier with each footstep, and the air grew hotter. Mere inches from the ocean she stopped, the water boiled, the sea was dead, it could not protect her. She sank down to her knees onto the glass and wept and waited. But the flames never came for her. Coughing on smoke she watched as bloats of darkness appeared, slowly devouring her world. The darkness swallowed everything, until only she remained.
Kairi awoke to the sound of her own screams. She and her bed sheets where soaked in sweat, tears rain down her face, the dream had happened again.
She willed herself to take slow breaths and held herself to stop the shaking. Slowly she calmed herself down and climbed down her bedroom window to the beach below. The nearly full moon illuminated her path as she walked down to the shoreline. She shivered as the cool night breeze clutched the damp gown to her chest. Kairi sat down beside a palm tree and watched the ocean and the stars.
This recurring dream was a enigma to her, it happened in a place she had never known and made little sense other then death. But she dreamed it, almost every night she woke from a firey horror and she knew what recurring dreams meant.
Kairi pushed that train of thought from her mind and went back to watching the ocean and the stars. Whatever reality the dream might prophesized, it was not this. She was safe here, on her island on her beach. Soon the sun would rise, a new day would begin and she would be with her friends. All would be right with the world.
A/N: Well I hope you enjoyed this quick chapter and got you interested. This prolouge was inspired by the comic Justice (ironically a DC comic), its an amazing story, with great watercolor art by Alex Ross. It just came out as a hardback, and can be found at most book stores. You should pick it up if you ever enjoyed the old Superfriends cartoon, or the recent Justice League cartoon. I hope to have the first chapter up by next week.
