Chapter 5: How it all began

12 years ago

"Sera wait up!" said a little boy with slivery-gold hair. "Alright Sora." She said. The little boy caught up to the brown haired girl who kept her hair very short, and It hung near her head in spikes of brown going downwards. Her eyes had an endless sapphire that twinkled care free. They walked along gathering sea shells. "Did your dad tell you anything cool recently?" asked the boy. "Another part to that story." She said. "Well what is it?" he asked. She lead him to the shade of a palm tree and she set her bag of shells down. "Alright. The boy woke up in Traverse town, and didn't really believe he was there until a dog licked him. He was shocked and worried about his home, and his two bestest friends. He got up and was confused by the Town. It was nothing like his home. Oh Hi daddy." Said Sera. A 23-year-old Sora walked over smiling. "How bout I tell it. With names of characters." He said.

The two 4-year-olds sat quietly as Sora began. "Ok, since you didn't hear the whole story I'll begin with the start. Don't spoil anything Sera." He said and the girl nodded. "Alright, there was a place much like our home called the Islands. There every day was calm peaceful and happiness was every where. There was a trio of very close friends. One was named Seiya, another Ryu, and the third Kara. Kara had moved to the Islands a few years ago and they were friends almost immediately. They were planning on leaving the island on a raft they were building. They were gathering supplies for their trip. Seiya had been having strange dreams but he ignored them. They raced and it was decided by the boys that the ship would be called the High Wind. That night a strange storm hit the island. Seiya saw Kara and Ryu's ship's were gone."

"He looked for them and went into the secret cave and saw a ghostly image of Kara. Now earlier while searching for supplies a strange man had been there. He told Seiya that the world had been connected, tied to the darkness. It had confused him then and now the strange door that never opened, flung open sending Kara right through him." "You're going o scare them." Said a 23-year-old Kairi walking up to the group. Sera and little Sora tried looking innocent. "We asked for it." Said Sera. "Really? Then I'll tell you later. Sora, your dad would prefer to tell you this story himself." She said and the little boy zipped away. "Daddy, why do you use different names? You had these adventures, didn't you?" she asked. "Yes. I know I've told you the story start to finish but reframe from telling Sora the truth. His dad wants to tell him." Said Sora.

"Alright Daddy." She said. Kairi looked at him, "The whole story?" she said. "I left out the one part that could give her night mares." He said. "Well do you think you can handle more detail about how daddy and I saved each other?" she asked and Sera nodded. "She keeps having night mares you caused 'em for once." He said because they first time he had finished the story Sera thought there were Heartless under her bed. Kairi filled Sera in on the time, though very short, of Sora being a heartless. Sera listened with unwavering attention. "So you really love each other." Said Sera.

Her parents nodded unsure of how to answer the little girl. She grabbed her bag of sea shells and handed Kairi a strangely colored one. She handed Sora one that was twisted. "I found these along the beach." She said. They smiled and took each one. They then lead the 4 year old back to their home. Later that night the tranquility was shattered in one moment. Sera and Sora were walking along near the secret cave, not really looking for it, yet wanting to find it. Sera tripped and fell into it. She looked up and saw the door a jar and she screamed. Sora, her friend wandered in past her and then did the stupidest thing he'd ever done, he opened it wider to see inside. A cloaked figure appeared and laughed when he saw the shaking Sera.

"So I'll reclaim my vessel with out much struggle this time." He said looking directly at Sora. "I'll never let you have my daddy again you meanie!" he yelled. "Riku has a son? That would make the girl with more sense than you Sora's child. I'll take her instead." Said the cloaked figure. "Hands off my child!" said an angry voice near the entrance. Sora, key blade master, was standing there angrily, key blade in hand. Sera ran over to her father and hid behind him. "We entered the cave and the door was open a crack and Sora was curious and opened it more and that guy appeared!" she said scared. Sora, Ser'as friend, ran over behind Sora as well.

"My, my Sora you have grown much since our last encounter. However I'll be taking the young girl and be leaving." Said the cloaked figure as heartless appeared around him. "You're not going to lay a finger on Sera!" he yelled. He backed out of the cave, which made the kids back out and Riku was there with the second key blade in hand. "Run you two now!" he said. The two kids were scared but when both tried to say something but was too late. The clawed heartless hands hand gone through both of the keyblade masters while they were urging the children to run. Sora's necklace fell off, right into Sera's hands. And Riku dropped the key chain Sora had given him for the battle, Oblivion. Sora, the kid, grabbed it and they ran crying Sera tripped and saw something shimmering in the sand, the fragment of a heart but she hadn't known that. She grabbed at it and it vanished with a flash of light. She and Sora kept running.

Kairi and Naminé ran over to the kids and saw the heartless. "Take me." Said Naminé. It then stabbed her through her chest and she vanished into darkness. Kairi blocked a heartless that had it's claws aimed for Sera with her self, making oath keeper fall off. Sera caught it and screamed, "MOMMMY!" Sora had to drag her along until they tripped and fell into a cave.

Leon was mad that this whole thing was happening again. There were several orphans but all of them wanting to fight leaving him to train them. He didn't mind that but the numbers were increasing every day. He was pacing in the alley where Sora had appeared the first time all those years ago. He saw two small figures laying side by side. A little girl and boy. The girl's brown-with-a-slight-tint-of-red hair looked like Sora's! The boy was riku with a blond tint to his hair as well. The girl woke up and her face seemed to be Sora's and Kairi's blended together perfectly. The boy was a Riku carbon copy with strange eyes. The girl woke up and blinked twice. "Where are we?" she asked getting off Sora. "Traverse Town." Said Leon. The girl stood up and shook the boy awake.

She whispered something and the boy nodded. "I'm Andy and he's Leo." She said. he notice her slipping something into her pockets, the boy as well. "How did you get here?" he asked when he had really wanted to say, 'why do you and your friend look like the key masters' "We don't know, shadows attacked our parents and then we ran and landed here with you standing over us." Said the girl. "Well since you aren't the first ones would you two like to know how to defend your selves?" he asked. both agreed. The other orphans (there were 10) soon started calling Sera Leona, since she trained as hard as Leon trained them, half had to quit half way through. She kept fighting till she dropped. She was still very weak, being only a child. However she and Sora would some times take training swords and fight on their own. They way they had seen Sora and Riku spar once.

3 years later

"Where are Andy and Leo?" asked Leon looking for his two best pupils. "They left to go spar some more." Said one of the other children. He saw them fighting and gasped at the way they fought. 'Sora had fought like that and so had Riku!' The two kept fighting harder and harder. Sera knocked Sora down and stood over him panting. "You think if we had been able to fight ours dads wouldn't have been taken by the heartless?" asked Sora getting up. "Maybe." She sat down and then cried for no apparent reason. "Had we not be out side walking so late at night we'd have never come across that cave. That mean man would have never turned our parents into heartless and the key bearers would still be around!" she wailed.

"You weren't the one who opened the door." Said Sora. "So you two care to tell me your real names." Said Leon. "We might as well." Said Sera seeing he had heard her cry. She wiped away her tears and said, "I'm called Sera Sky." "I'm Sora Terrtros." Said Sora. "So you, Sera, are Sora's daughter and you , Sora , are Riku's son?" asked Leon. They both nodded. Sera showed him Oath keeper. "Our parents were taken protecting us. Ansem had been after me, I don't know why." She said. "He knew that with you as his vessel Sora couldn't attack you." He said. He rubbed their heads. "But your parents didn't want you to suffer. Now you are strong enough to fight. Come with me and help me fight."
