Hey guys so sorry for all the late updates but I've been crazy busy and completely exhausted and never made it to the library. here's the second part of the prologue of this story. I made it this way so I would hope it would make sense for the upcoming sequels. please enjoy!

Ven: should I even ask what the hell happened to you?

Kay: you do and I'll severe your spine from your body!

Ven: -jumps and runs to hide behind Terra who's hiding slightly behind Aqua-

Aqua: -looks at the two of them- seriously?

A few hours later, Ven woke up to the sun shining in his window, blinding him slightly. He sat up stretching and letting out a long yawn.

"Man, I gotta stop reading so late," he said to himself.

The memory of last night came to him, putting his mind deep in thought at what his little sister had told him.

'I still wonder what could've caused her to dream something like that.'

He was so lost in thought that he didn't hear the knock on his door, and only snapped out of his trance when something flicked the side of his head.

"Geez Ven, I know it's early but you've been sitting like that for almost five minutes," chuckled a baritone voice.

The said blonde looked up to his best friend and fellow keyblade master, Terra; he was dressed from his usual training attire and wore a fitting grey T-shirt and wore out jeans. His brown hair was still wet from his shower and his blue eyes shined in the morning light.

"Very funny Terra," Ven replied climbing out of his bed.

Today was one of the rare days they didn't have training cause it was Mina's birthday, so they were excused from it today. The two of them were going to decorate the main hall while Aqua was tasked with the cooking. Ven came out of his adjoined bathroom dressed in a black hoodie and torn jeans.

"Is Aqua up already," he asked as they walked towards the kitchen.

"Yeah, she said that Mina was up when she went to check on her," Terra said stretching his arms above his head, "so she took her to the kitchen to start making breakfast."

"I still can't believe she's turning 6 today," Ventus stated in disbelief.

When Ventus first came to live in this world, Mina was barely two years old and very shy around the blonde at first; but after a few months, the little toddler would follow him around the castle almost every day. She was actually the first person to get Ven out of his gloomy secluded stupor and he adored her like she was his little sister.

They soon reached the kitchen and walked in, the smell of cooked eggs and pancakes wafted through the open door, initially making both the teens stomachs growl hungrily.

"Sounds like you two are finally up."

Standing next to the oven was their other friend Aqua; she wore a white bandana over her short blue hair to avoid getting flour in it. She had on a simple light blue tee with a blue skort that fell just above her knees. She was also wearing a white apron that had flour and some grease on it.

"You're hilarious Aqua," both boys said sarcastically as they sat the kitchen island in the middle of the room.

"Isn't Mina here," Terra asked.

"She was, but I think she went to find the Master," the bluenette answered setting two plates before them.

"Did she say anything about last night," Ven asked curiously.

"No, why did something happened," Aqua asked worriedly as she set down the bowl of batter.

Ventus told them both what happened, including what Mina had told him that happened in her dream. There was a moments silence and the elder keybladers shared a glance both filled with concern and worry.

"Did she say anything else," Terra asked fully concerned.

"No, but she seemed really scared by it," Ven replied.

"We should ask Master Eraqus about this," Aqua suggested, and the other two agreed.

Meanwhile the said birthday girl was out walking in the gardens looking for her grandpa, knowing he always took this path on his morning walks. Her white dress fluttered in the soft breeze that made the grass and flowers seem like they were waving at her. She came around a corner and found a figure sitting on a stone bench, seemingly meditating.

"Found you Grandpa," she cheered excitedly running over to him.

Master Eraqus looked over at the young girl and chuckled heartily; he waited for Mina to stop next to him before picking her up in his arms, making her laugh more.

"And what brings the birthday girl out here hmmm," he inquired smiling at her.

"I came to find you," she said smiling brightly, "Mommy's almost done making breakfast!"

"Then lets head back then shall we," he suggested setting her down, but still held her small hand in his calloused tanned one.

They decided to take a longer path as to enjoy the morning sun a bit longer.

"Tell me Mina, do you still see Ami," Eraqus asked.

"Sometimes, but only if I'm alone," she answered honestly.

Mina had an 'imaginary friend' whom she called Ami; her grandpa was the first to know about it. She had started seeing her friend after she had gotten over a severe fever she had when she was three and a half. The fever had lasted about two weeks which had the three Keyblade apprentices worried sick, but Master Eraqus seemed to have found something that healed her completely. A few days later was when she started seeing this "Ami" girl. Mina had said she looked like her but had really dark tanned skin and milky white hair, but her eyes were sort of a crimson color.

"How about we talk more after your party tonight," Eraqus suggested as they headed through the main doors.

"Okay," she agreed with a smile.

They walked through the kitchen doors and were greeted by the other three. The day went on smoothly; Mina played hide-n-seek with Terra and Ventus while Aqua finished baking and Eraqus informed them that he had to pick up a delivery.

Evening soon came the small "family" celebrated their youngest member's birthday. They first started off with the cake; it was a simple two-layered chocolate cake with "Happy Birthday Mina" written in white icing. Mina took a minute to decide on her wish before blowing out her candles.

"So what'd you wish for Mina," Terra asked taking a sip of water.

"Well I made one wish for each candle, but I'll tell you one of them," she replied with an adorable smile.

"And what's that," Aqua asked.

"For Mommy and Daddy to get married so I could be the flower girl," she answered innocently.

That statement caused Terra to spit out and choke on his water, Aqua to blush a very dark shade of crimson, Eraqus to smirk slightly, and Ventus to fall off his chair in surprise but then break down laughing.

"How about we move on to the presents," Eraqus suggested noticing that Terra and Aqua now couldn't look at each other without blushing.

Terra had given her a miniature, hand-carved keyblade that was similar to one she had told him she liked in a book she found a few weeks ago. Ventus gave her new art supplies because he knew she was wanting to become a great artist when she got older. Aqua said that her present to Mina wasn't finished yet and promised to have it ready in two days time. Finally, Eraqus handed Mina a small, wrapped parcel; opening it carefully, the excited 6-year old smiled in awe as she revealed a beautifully hand-crafted golden locket on a long golden chain. It was shaped in a heart with a smaller crystal heart set in the center; she tried opening it but found it locked somehow.

"You have to open it a special way," Eraqus explained to her as he placed it around her slim neck, "it's been set with a spell to only open to your voice, you just…have to wish for it."

"Oh. Okay!" Mina smiled and held it in her small, delicate hands, "I wish for you to open…please?"

Upon speaking, the locket opened to reveal a magically, hand-sketched picture of her entire family smiling back at her. Mina squealed happily and jumped on the elder Keyblade Master thanking him repeatedly.

After a couple more hours, Eraqus decided that it was time for the "little ones" to get to bed.

"You heard him Ven, you better get to bed," Terra mocked ruffling his friend's hair which earned him a cake slice smashed in his face, which then lead to a food fight between the two and an annoyed Aqua trying to get them to stop.

Eraqus carried the sleepy girl to her room and helped her into bed after she changed into her pajamas.

"Did you have a good birthday," he asked as he tucked her in.

"I really did grandpa," she smiled tiredly.

"I'm glad sweetie," he said, "can you promise me something?"

After receiving slight nod, he carefully picked up the locket and placed it in her hands and covering them with his.

"Never take off this locket. It was casted with two spells, the second is like a protection spell that will keep you safe and something else, but I will explain it when you are older…understand little Mina?"

The tiny brunette looked at him confused and slightly worried but nodded earnestly and promised never to take it off.

After reading her a story and placing a small kiss on her forehead, Eraqus left Mina's room and walked down the hall in silence thinking to himself.

'I pray that it really can protect her, for the future is unclear and her powers are slowly but surely growing inside her heart every day.'
