Kids of the Destiny Islands
Chapter 1
The sun shines bright on a small island. The island is made primarily of a series of wooden treehouses with various small caves and palm trees.
A kid with brown spiky hair lies down on the beach just looking up at the sky. A girl with red hair comes and sits right next to him staring at sea.
"Wow Sora you're really lazy" said the girl.
"Gimme a break Kairi" said the kid. "I gave Riku all the supplies for the raft."
"But you're letting him put it together all by himself."
"Hey, getting those supplies was hard work. I deserve a break."
Kairi giggles. She looks around the beach. "Did Selphie and the others go back?"
"Yeah, they left not too long ago. It's just us on the island now."
"Really,"
A white haired male comes from behind them carrying a huge log.
"Sora" said the white haired kid to Sora. "You're going to let me work on this raft by myself?"
"Oh Riku" said Sora.
"We were just taking a small break" said Kairi.
"You guys sure take a lot of break, Kairi. I'm almost done with the raft" said Riku.
"Sorry, but after gathering the materials all day, I got tired" said Sora.
"Selphie and the others already went home" said Kairi. "So I decided to keep Sora company so he wasn't alone."
"It's fine, I'm just messing with you guys" said Riku.
"So what else do you need?" asked Sora. "Since you're not with the raft"
"Just some rope to tie the rest of the remaining logs up."
"I can get that" said Kairi. "It's just on the upper deck I think."
"Okay but be careful" said Riku.
"I'll be fine." Kairi rushes to one of the tree houses. She climbs the ladder reaching the upper deck. She is suddenly startled by what appears to be a hooded figure in black. The figure had its back turned to her. It suddenly turns when Kairi gets closer though their face is still shrouded in shadow.
"Who are you?" said Kairi. The figure remained silent. "Are you from the main land as well?" The figure still remained silent. "Um…you wouldn't happen to know where some rope is would you." The figure reveals its right hand which is all green; in its hand was some rope. The figure handed the rope to Kairi. "Thanks" Kairi tries to get a look at the figure's face but was unsuccessful. "Nice meeting you" Kairi begins to walk away.
"You're looking pretty young, Princess" said the figure in a feminine voice.
"Pr…Princess?"
"Kairi" said Sora who was walking up to her. Kairi turns around to face him. "Did you find the rope?"
"Oh, yes, she gave it to me"
"She?"
"Yeah this girl in the black…." Kairi turns around and the figure is gone. "But she was just here a second ago."
"Who are you talking about?"
"Uh…no one I guess."
"Come on, Riku's waiting." Kairi and Sora make their way back to Riku.
"Riku" said Sora. "We got it"
"Good, now let's finish this raft" said Riku.
The sun starts to set; Sora and Kairi are sitting on a curved tree staring at the sunset. Riku is leaning on it.
"So many worlds outside our own" said Riku.
"Your world's out there too right Kairi?" said Sora.
"I told you Sora, I don't remember" said Kairi
"It could be" said Riku. "I wonder what it's like, what kind of world you come from"
Kairi looks up at the sky. "I will admit I'm curious myself" said Kairi.
"I bet you're something amazing in your world Kairi. Maybe you're really famous person in your original world like a celebrity or a Princess" said Sora.
Kairi chuckles. "A princess?" said Kairi. "I really….doubt….uh….." Kairi slowly stopped thinking to herself. "Princess" said Kairi softly to herself. She thinks back to that cloaked figure. "Could it be true?"
Sora taps Kairi on the shoulder. "Kairi?" said Sora. "Are you okay? You're kind of spacing out."
"Sorry Sora, just thinking that's all." Kairi turns to Riku. "So suppose we get to another world, what would you do there Riku?"
"…Don't know" said Riku. "I haven't really thought about it. I just always wanted to explore what's outside our own world. I mean think about it, we all ended up on this island. If there are other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one?"
"That's deep" said Sora.
"Not only that, if there are other worlds, then this one is just a small part of something bigger. Isn't just the thought of that worth exploring?"
"I don't know." Sora sits back on the tree.
"Sounds like you've been thinking about this a lot" said Kairi.
"Well, I have you to thank for that Kairi" said Riku. "If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't have thought about it at all."
"Hmmm" Kairi jumps out the tree. "I think I'll head home now. We got to get supplies for the raft right?"
"True" said Riku. "Well, see you tomorrow"
Kairi starts walking away towards the docks.
"Well, I better get ready to leave too" said Sora. He jumps out the tree.
"Wait Sora" said Riku. "How about one match before we go, for old time sake."
Sora smiles. "All right you're going down this time."
Meanwhile, Kairi heads to where her boat is docked. She gets in the boat. As she reaches for the oars, the figure shows up again handing her the oars. Kairi jumps back startled by the figure.
"You seem quite adventurous for a princess" said the figure.
Kairi gets closer to the figure. "Do you know me?" asked Kairi.
The figure chuckles. "No, we've never met; I only know you by your heart."
Kairi gets a confused look on her face. "My heart?"
The figure points to Kairi's chest. "You have a pure heart filled with light, not a single ounce of darkness. That a rarity."
"Light? What do you mean by light?"
"Humph, I could tell you, but I think it's best you find out for yourself." The figure turns around getting ready to leave. "Just know this, there are more worlds out there and individuals like you are rare to see in this and other worlds. You are one of the most important people to exist." Darkness then envelops the person and they disappear. Kairi looks on confused.
"What could she mean by that? How am I important?"
