"Where am I?" Kiara asked out loud. One minute she was eating breakfast and the next she found herself near an ocean. 'Everything is so dark here,' she thought.

She walked around and explored, interested in why everything was so dark. Most people would have been creeped out by the darkness, but she embraced it. She was more of a gothic person than most, with her mother constantly complaining at the dark clothes she picked out as well as the dark colored make up she wore. Her mother just didn't understand her choices. Her mother was always bright colorful and cheery, wearing pink, and was basically the exact opposite of Kiara.

Kiara's father did not mind and let her make her choices by herself, at least the choices a 13 year old could rightfully make.

"It's so quiet here. I guess I should wonder how to get back home…" She trailed off. She finally decided to check out the water, "It's cold," she said, taking off her sandal and sticking her toes in.

She saw something shimmer a few feet away in the water and she took off her other sandal and walked in further to check it out. It was a gold looking necklace with a black square and a symbol in the middle. Suddenly a black light started shining around her and then, for her, everything went blank. It was like she could see what she was doing, but she couldn't control her body, she was just along for the ride.

She saw a small square-like device appear in her hand next to the necklace. A light shone and she was transported to a different world.

'Is this the digital world?' she thought. She had heard many stories from her parents about the digital world, but it had been closed for years, so if she was here, why was it open now?

Her body was walking, looking around for something, but she couldn't hear the thoughts of whatever was controlling her body. After a while, she stopped in front of a lake and looked down. She saw her appearance had changed. Her outfit was black and purple, and it was a long dress that flowed out around her hips (think digimon emperor, but black and purple, and a dress instead of a cape and pants).

She liked the outfit, but was unaware of when she changed her clothes. Was she beginning to forget things or was it magic?

Her body started moving again and she found herself near a giant building, which was in ruins. Her body led her to a computer screen nearby and it started typing in codes. She saw the building rise up, floating, and repairing itself midair. When it was completed, it continued to float. "Open," she heard her voice yell, but she was, again, not in control. A staircase flew down and she walked right in. She found herself in a room, covered in screens. They all turned on at once and Kiara got her first real look at the digital world. She hadn't seen much while walking and there were no digimon in sight. Now, she saw them everywhere. There were mountains, villages, and so much more. It was a beautiful sight. Kiara wished she could explore, but she had no idea what the power had in store for her. She'd just have to go where she was led.
