"The Headmaster is your father?" The lady at the desk shushed the excited Aurora. "Sorry…"

Aurora, Quas, and Blade's other friends were in a waiting room outside of the Headmaster's office. Claw, Blade, and Headmaster Duncan were in the office discussing something that the others could not so they had to wait here.

"Yes," Quas said quietly, "He is my father."

"Why haven't you told me?"'

"I didn't think it was important."

"What do you mean it's not important, the HEADMASTER is your father, but, wait a sec…," Aurora pondered for a moment, "You two don't look alike."

Quas looked down. "Well because…umm…"

Aurora scooted over to her. "Yes?"

"Well…he's not my real father."

"WHA…" Quas put her hand over her friend's mouth. "Shh, be quiet."

"If he's your real father, then how did you two meet?"

Quas looked around the room. "Well since we're going to be here a long time, do you want hear the hole story?"

Aurora nodded. "Well," Quas started, "I guess I should start at the very beginning."

(8 years ago)

"What in the world?" The keyblade wielder called out to his friend, "Hey, look what I found."

Keyblade wielders were looking for survivors in a village because of a recent Heartless attack. It snowing which made the search a little difficult. So far, they haven't had any luck but perhaps their luck is changing.

"What did you find?"

"See for yourself."

The older wielder went to see what his companion has found. He was shocked. It was a little girl covered in snow. I guess the Heartless didn't see her, he thought, thank goodness.

"Did you find any more?"

"No, this girl seems to be the only one."

The older wielder sighed. "Keep searching, if you can't find any more in next 45 minutes come back to base." The younger wielder nodded and went back to searching. The older wielder carried the girl. He could her breath slowly and feel her shivering. He wiped off the snow off her. Wait's this? The snow won't come off her hair. He then realized that her natural hair color was as white as the snow.

. . .

The girl woke up and found herself on a warm bed and in a room. Where am I? The room seemed to look like a hospital room. Wha…what happened? The girl tried to remember what had happened to her but all she could recall was bumping her head. She began to feel her head for the bump and found out that it was bandaged. Then the door open and she saw a man wearing armor coming into the room. The man sat down in a chair near her.

"I see that you're awake." The girl said nothing.

"Is your head still hurting?"

"…Well, it still kinda hurts."

"What's your name young one?"

"My name is Quas."

"And your last?"

"Kaiser."

"Well, well," the man said, "Quas Kaiser, that's a lovely name."

"Umm, Mister, can you tell me where I am?"

"Well Miss Kaiser, you are in an infirmary located in a keyblade wielder base. I assume you know what a keyblade is right?"

Quas nodded. "My parents have them." She remembered seeing her parents sparred each other with their keyblades. "And speaking of them, do you know where they are?"

She saw the man frown. "Unfortunately, we couldn't find them."

"Find them?" Quas was confused, "What do you mean? Aren't they at my house?"

The man sighed. "Young lady, can you remember what happened at your village?"

"All I remember was that I was running and I hurt my head. Did something happen?"

"Hmm," the man said while scratching the back of his head, "How should I say this?"

While he was thinking of an answer, Quas was getting worried. What happened to her village and most importantly what happened to her parents?

The man sighed quietly. "To put it simply, your village was attacked by Heartless."

"What? Bu…but that's impossible! The village was built so that the Heartless couldn't find it."

"It worked for a long time but the dark creatures eventually found it."

"The…then do you at least know where my parents are?"

"I'm sorry. You were the only one that we found."

Quas could feel the tears in her eyes but didn't cry yet. There was one more question she needed to ask. "D…do you think they got away?"

The man leaned over to Quas. "Well they are keyblade masters," he smiled, trying to lighten up the mood, "I don't think a couple of little Heartless can defeat them." Quas gave a slight chuckle.

"Yeah…you're right."

"Now get more rest, you've been through a lot." The man started to leave the room until Quas stopped him.

"Umm, Mister? Can I please know your name?"

He looked back at Quas. "My apologies, my name is Duncan."

"Thank you Duncan."

"Your welcome."

. . .

"A few weeks later, Duncan adopted me and he's been my father ever since."

Aurora could her sigh. "Did you ever see your real parents?"

Quas looked down. "No, but I feel that they are alive somewhere."

"Hey guys!" Everyone turned to see Blade opening the door to the Duncan's office. "You can come in now."

Aurora stood up. "Come on, let's go."

"I'm coming."

As they were walking, Aurora noticed that Quas's head was still down.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll meet them someday."

Quas look at Aurora and smiled. "Thanks Aurora."

"Come on, let's see what your father got in store for us."

With that, Quas, Aurora, and Blade's friends went in the office.
