Since Patch told the valley about Nowe, they all began to see Nowe as some hero or someone crazy enough to go up against him. Still Nowe was able to stay in the valley until he was ready to leave, but still Nowe still couldn't stop thinking about how his birthday is coming up. It was going to be another year without his mother and another year with his new identity. After his mother died and he was saved by Mickey, Nowe promised to himself he couldn't be weak anymore, that he had to get stronger. His really name is Avalon Will Storm, but he had to forget it because Nowe was really from a royal family. But Avalon died along with his mother and his home. Behind the necklace of his mother had the name Nowe on it, so he changed his name to it. That was how Nowe got his name, but there wasn't a day where he doesn't think about what life would be like if his home wasn't attacked. But this was destiny, to wield his keyblade, and fight the darkness. Nowe didn't fight just to fight, he chose to fight so no one else would feel the pain of losing someone. So in two days it will be the 10th year of his new life, and new name.
But on the world of Arthuria, it was a beautiful world with many flowers. There wasn't any winter just Summer, Spring, and fall. It was always warm and during one point in the year when spring comes, the Festive of light begins. It was where at night most of the flowers would bloom and when they do they release a small spark of light that floats into the air. Each little light had a different color, and they would keep flying up. It was amazing because the night sky would be filled with these small sparks of light that looks like stars. But that was the night when everything changed, the night when the darkness attacked Arthuria.
Nowe was still at home during the time of the festive was about to begin. Nowe was trying to find his charm that represent his mix. Athuria was like any other world, but the people were different then most worlds. There were different types of races on Arthuria, the humans and the Crested. The Crested looked like any other human but they had a special ability, they had the power to use the elements of their crest.
A Crested is born with a seal on their body and each crest would show a creature or animal. They were still human but that were able to use the element of the creature they are crested with. On Arthuria there were the basic 8 elements, Fire, Electricity, Ice, Earth, Wind, Water, Light, and Darkness. So if someone with a deer crest they would have the ability to use the element of earth. Most Crested could use at least 2 - 3 elements at a time, but the really gifted ones could use more but not all of them. Nowe was born with a dragon crest and which was a rare type of crest because they had the ability to use all the elements, but they are suppose to be extinct.
Still the humans had something that made them special too, they were able to use their own type of magic. They could use their magic through their weapons, so it was more of a skill. They were about to engulf their weapons with their element of choice and either uses it to launch element blast or use them to allow them to use certain abilities. So everyone had something that made them special on Arthuria
Nowe's mother was a Crested too, she had the crest of the phoenix and she was able to fire and wind magic. Well average people with her crest would be able to use those elements but she could use even more, almost all of them too. When she was chosen by the keyblade she was give the ability to use every element except darkness. On the world there was only 8 keyblade masters including her, and a few other keyblade wielders not on the level of master. But every night she would tell Nowe stories of her adventure on the different worlds. She was the one who told Nowe about the truth about every little star in the sky, that each one is a different world.
His favorite story was the stories about the stars and about all the different worlds. His mother was different then most keyblade wielders, she was the most powerful from the other masters. She was able to use her elements in ways no one could ever think of, and that was what made her special, and dangerous. Her keyblade was the final evolution of the divine rose, and her second keyblade was none other than the starlight in it's final form too. She defeated heartless after heartless, and after all of her adventures the most important one was where she met Nowe's father. Nowe didn't know much about his father, all that he knew was that he was powerful, and could fight one and one against his mother. Still They have been together for years before his father could propose to her. Then they chose to start a family together, and that was where Nowe came in. But after Nowe was born, something went wrong and his father left them. After all these years Nowe blamed himself for his father leaving.
Nowe as 5 years old during the time, and he was happy that his birthday was on the festive of light. The rest of the story most knows, the darkness came and they destroyed his world. The world wasn't sent into darkness like most worlds, his was actually destroy by a mysterious monster that arrived with the darkness. All Nowe could remember was that it carried a keyblade, and it was strong enough to face against the 8 keyblade masters and defeat them all. But what happened next was horrifying, after the monster defeated then he would strike through them turning them into heartless, and claim their keyblades. He then somehow broke it's keychain destroying the keyblade all together. There was actually a monster that has the power to destroy keyblades. But when his mother faced it, they looked evenly matched but when Nowe came running to his mother was when things went wrong. The monster tried to attack Nowe instead and launched a powerful beam at Nowe. His mother jumped in the way and blocked the attack but when it was over, and his mother turned around to make sure Nowe was ok was when it attacked. It struck it's keyblade right through her.
Nowe saw it and before the monster could finish her off, her mother casted her final spell, it was a light based spell made to push away the darkness. It was a giant force field that pushed the darkness away but the problem it was a final spell for a reason. The darkness was pushed away but still more came, and even today no one knows if that monster is still alive or not. The spell was able to destroy every heartless on the world during the time and made that monster disappear. So that was the beginning, and the rest is what people know. His necklace from his mother was unique and before his mother said his last words, he placed every last amount of energy she had left into it. It held every keychain she had in there, and after she made her final goodbyes she faded away into tiny sparks of light and floated away leaving Nowe alone. Then Mickey found Nowe and everything changed. Nowe became a powerful keyblade wielder and carried his new name as he was ready to travel the worlds by himself creating his own adventures, and leading to the events now.
