Chapter One

Destiny Islands Part One

After the brown haired boy suffered from the dream, he woke up on the beach in the island he called his home. After he woke up, he saw one of his friends leaning over him. Since she was so close, he had shouted in surprise.

What the red headed girl didn't see was there was a translucent winged girl who shot up next to him with a panicked expression on her face. She looked around, noticing that neither the brunette boy she had met in that strange place nor the red headed girl could see her.

She waved her hand and tried to speak, but no sound came from her mouth. She frowned, clearly remembering being able to speak before. Perhaps it was a side effect from being translucent. The winged girl, Freya, went to touch the brunette boy's shoulder, but her hand slipped straight through. She recoiled with a silent gasp – what the hell just happened?

Finally, after several minutes of trying to decide what to do, Freya used her wings to propel herself in the air, out of the way of the others. For now she was just an observer.

"Whoa!" he exclaimed, jerking forward into a sitting position. His red headed female friend giggled into her hand.

"Gimme a break, Kairi." He pouted again. Said girl, Kairi, was one of his two best friends. She had vibrant red hair, but not the same color as the girl in the brunette boy's dream, and was wearing a black cropped shirt with a white tank top and purple accents on it. Tight purple short shorts were on her legs and a purple skirt covered the shorts. It was open on one side, letting others see the shorts underneath. White and purple shoes were on her feet and for accessories she was wearing a purple belt, a black choker, a longer necklace with a circular pendant, a purple bracelet on her upper arm, a yellow bracelet on each wrist, and a black bracelet on one wrist.

"Sora, you lazy bum." She scoffed, "I knew that I'd find you snoozing down here." The boy looked up at her with a panicked expression.

"No! This huge black THING swallowed me up! I couldn't breathe, I couldn't…Ow!" he was interrupted as the red headed girl thumped him on the head.

"Are you still dreaming?" she questioned him, not believing a word he was saying.

"It wasn't a dream!" he protested harshly before he stopped suddenly, "Or was it? I don't know. What was that place? So bizarre..." he trailed off for a second before starting up again. He remembered that there was another one with him in that dark place.

"There was this girl, too! She had…wings…and her name was Freya." He quietly said, remembering the look of pain on the winged girl's face as she was snatched up by the giant dark being. Freya had a soft smile on her face. So he did remember her.

"Yeah, sure." Kairi dismissed him with a wave of her hand. Suddenly, Sora had an urge to know what Kairi's hometown was like.

"Say, Kairi, what was your hometown like?" he questioned her, "You know, where you grew up." The red headed girl looked at him before turning away.

"I've told you before, I don't remember." She said with a sigh.

"Nothing at all?" he pressed. He was wondering if the winged girl came from another world.

"Nothing." she confirmed with a sad look.

"You ever want to go back?" Sora asked eagerly.

"Well…" she started, "I'm happy here." She wasn't very convincing to the winged girl, but as she opened her mouth to reply Freya remembered that she couldn't talk.

"Really..." Sora drawled, not really believing her as well. Kairi was silent for a short while before she started to talk again.

"But you know... I wouldn't mind going to see it." She admitted with a grin. Freya stared at the girl with a thoughtful expression on her face. She never really had a home…not that she could remember anyway. All she remembered was the fact that she was to protect the Key Bearer. She was a physical manifestation of its power, so did she really have a home?

"I'd like to see it too." The brunette boy commented, looking out to the sea, "Along with any other worlds out there! I want to see 'em all!" he exclaimed. Freya stared sadly at the boy. She wanted nothing more than to find a home for her as well.

"So what're we waiting for?" the darker red headed girl asked with an excited smile. Suddenly, the voice of a slightly older boy interrupted them.

"Hey, aren't you guys forgetting about me?" he questioned, pretending to be offended. This boy, named Riku, was a year older than the brunette boy, Sora. Freya studied him intently, feeling that he was close to the other two. All three of them seemed like they were in a tight-knit friendship.

The new boy, Riku, was taller than Sora by just the slightest bit. He had long silvery hair and sea green eyes. He wore a tight yellow shirt with black accents and black straps crossing in the front, dark blue pants, blue-violet over pants with black buckles on the bottom, and blue and white shoes were on his feet. He wore little accessories – just a black wrist band on one of his wrists and short tight black gloves.

"So, I guess I'm the only one working on the raft." He sighed dramatically, tossing the log. Freya giggled noiselessly – or she thought it was noiselessly - as she watched the brunette try to catch it. As he caught the log when he fell, the brunette boy could hear the faint sound of bell-like giggling in the wind.

"And you're just as lazy as he is!" the silvery haired boy exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger to the younger girl.

"So you noticed." She giggled, "Okay, we'll finish it together. I'll race you!"

"Huh?" Sora asked, still distracted by the bell-like giggling he heard in the wind. Apparently he was the only one who could hear it.

"What, are you kidding?" he asked tiredly. He was the only one who had been doing the work after all, but he was always ready for a race with Sora. He had his reputation to maintain after all.

"Ready?" Kairi shouted, "Go!" and with that both boys took off. Kairi trailed after the two and Freya let out a small smile as she swooped down behind them. She watched, mood dropping once again when she remembered that she couldn't talk to them.

"So, can you gather the rest of the supplies?" Kairi asked. Sora, however wasn't listening to her. Something warm was heating up inside his pocket. He glanced down, slipping his hand inside his pocket. The brunette was extremely surprised when he pulled out a thin, soft, and warm feather from his pocket.

The brunette's heart was thumping as he realized that this was the same feather that the winged girl from his dream gave him. Suddenly, his thoughts were broken by the red headed girl, Kairi.

"Sora, are you listening to me?" she asked, wondering what the brunette boy was thinking.

"Yeah, I heard you." He said, inconspicuously tucking the feather back into his pocket. Freya giggled soundlessly again, but Sora picked the light giggle from the wind. He looked around out of the corners of his eyes, but he still didn't see anyone else besides Kairi…and he knew for a fact that she wasn't the one who giggled.

"Okay, here's what you need to go find: Two Logs. One Cloth. One Rope." She paused to let the information sink in.

"Bring everything back here. If you need help, just ask. I'm counting on you!" Kairi said, waving him off and giving him a bright smile. Freya frowned. Why wasn't the red headed girl looking for anything?

Sora looked around for the logs first. He spotted one a few feet from where he was standing, but then he was lost. He looked around to see if he could spot another log, but he had no idea where one could be. The winged girl took pity on him and started to think. How could she help him? He seemed to have heard her giggling, but he couldn't hear her voice. She couldn't touch him…but perhaps she could touch inanimate objects?

Freya beat her wings and ascended over the second island – the one connected to the mainland by a semi-long bridge. Almost instantly, her sharp eyes spotted the second log that Sora needed. She landed, kneeling down to touch the log, but, as she thought, her hand went right through it. It was like her body didn't exist on this plane…or it was only halfway formed. Maybe, she could pluck a feather and drop it on Sora's head? If it wasn't attached to her body then maybe he could see it and feel it!

The winged girl grew excited and took to the sky again. She rose high enough so that she could drop a feather from the bridge onto his head. Freya sucked in a breath and plucked a feather, wincing at the slight stinging sensation it created. She sighed. She couldn't keep plucking feathers out every time she needed to talk to him or else her wings would easily get infected.

The transparent winged girl lay down on the wooden bridge and waited until the breeze stopped. Then, as she bit her lip, she let go of the feather. The transparent feather turned solid and tangible as soon as it left her fingertips. It floated down, landing on the head of the brunette boy. Sora jumped, snatching the warm feather from his head and looked around. It was still warm to the touch. His bright blue eyes widened as he looked up, seeing another feather falling from above him. The falling feather, however, blew away in the wind…but he was thinking about Freya.

Sora quickly dashed to the right and went through the small shack. When he made it to the bridge he was unaware that the transparent winged girl was actually standing right in front of him. All he saw was the other log. As he slowly walked to it, he looked around, feeling sad that he couldn't see her.

"Thanks, Freya." He whispered, hoping that she could hear her. She could and a small smile formed on her lips. She giggled and his head whipped around, hearing the giggling on the wind once again. The winged girl suddenly had an idea. She flew towards the mainland, letting out a soft giggle. Sora followed the sound, wanting to catch the person emitting the bell-like giggle, but he saw nobody. He followed the sound until he got to an area with a ladder. A feather fell on his head and he looked up, climbing the ladder. The giggle sounded again and he followed it, finding his friend Tidus practicing with his staff. Sora found the rope coiled in a pile. It was one more thing that Freya had helped him find.

Now all he had left was the cloth. A giggle came from behind him and he dashed towards the sound, stopping at where the ladder met the platform. Suddenly, a feather flew from the inside of the giant treehouse. He grinned, catching the feather and jumped so that he was on the second platform across from him. Climbing up both ladders, he was disappointed when Frya wasn't in the room. The cloth was there, however, so he grabbed that. Now he had all the things he needed with Freya's help.

Sora jumped down to the ground and slowly walked over to Kairi with the things in his arms.

"Thanks, Sora! I found something today, too. Here, it's yours." She said with a smile. Freya stared at the young girl – when had she acquired that Hi-Potion? The girl gave it to Sora and he smiled.

"Tired? Want to call it a day?" Kairi asked as the boy nodded.

"Yeah, let's go home." He said, but paused. It was like he was waiting for something in the wind.

"Okay. It is getting late. We'll finish up tomorrow." And with that the two of them went home. Freya looked down at herself, surprised to see that she was disappearing. Everything started spinning, but it stopped, forming another picture in front of her face. To the left she saw Sora, sound asleep in his bed.

"I will protect you, Sora. I will protect you with my life if I have to." She whispered, surprised to hear her voice. It was carried by the wind and Sora smiled in his sleep as he heard the words, even if he thought he was dreaming.
