Far away in the universe there are countless worlds. Our story starts on a world called The Radiant Garden. In the palace we see King Sora pacing in front of closed doors where sounds of Queen Kairi is giving birth to our main character. Right after Sora's adventures Ansem the Wise gave his daughter's hand in marriage to Sora before passing the crown to him. The sound of birthing stops from the doors and are replaced by very loud baby's cries. King Sora freezes in front of the doors and smiles. Within five minutes Aerith steps out.
"Both your new daughter and Her Majesty are fine," she sighs. "You may go see them. I'm going home. I don't have patients today."
"Good," replies King Sora. "Take today off. You deserve it."
"Thank you Sora," sighs Aerith as she walks past Sora and down the stairs. Sora walks into the room and right to the bed where Queen Kairi is sitting cradling a pink bundle of blankets.
"Look Hi," says Queen Kairi to the bundle. "Here's Daddy." She opens the blankets enough for King Sora to only see the face of his daughter.
"Hello Hi," says Sora taking the bundle of blankets from the queen. The blanket falls away letting Hi's head stick out. The baby has brown flat hair, a mixture of both parents' hairs. Hi stops crying and stares up at King Sora. King Sora's smile widens as Hi lets out a small laugh.
"That's her first laugh," smiles Queen Kairi.
"And there will be many more in her life," says King Sora. "Now you get some rest. I'll give the new princess her first tour of the palace." The King leaves after giving his wife a peck on the lips. King Sora steps out in time to see Lord Riku help Ansem up the last step.
"Did my ears deceive me or was that my granddaughter's cries I heard from across the castle?" asks Ansem.
"Yeah, Hi was sure loud announcing her birth," says King Sora. "I wouldn't be surprised if everyone in the world heard it." Lord Riku only gives a chuckle as both he and Ansem take their first peek at Princess Hi.
"King Sora!" calls a voice from downstairs. "Where are you?"
"I'm in front of the birthing room!" calls back King Sora. There is a sound of feet rushing up the stairs. A woman in her late thirties comes up the stairs.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" asks the woman. "You said yesterday that you'll need my help today. So what are you doing here when you should be in your office?"
"Helen I did say that Kairi was having the baby," King Sora calmly says.
"That does not give you an excuse to neglect your duties as King," says the flustered Helen. "Your place is in your office taking care of your people. That baby will be put in her place in the far future." During that last sentence Hi starts crying.
"Hey," barks Lord Riku. "You have no right to talk that way about my goddaughter. Now bow and say you're sorry to your new princess, Princess Hi." Helen hesitates before her knees bend.
"I'm sorry Princess Hi," she mumbles. Hi's cries reduces to a small whimper before stopping completely.
"Sora is something wrong?" says Queen Kairi's faint voice. A very pale faced Queen Kairi stumbles into the doorway of the birthing room. Lord Riku immediately goes to her side followed by Ansem.
"Don't worry Kairi," assures Lord Riku. "I took care of everything."
"Helen I want you to contact a lawyer and tell him to come here ready for me and Ansem to make Hi part of our wills," commands King Sora. "Ansem, help Kairi into bed and greet the lawyer when he comes. Then get me. I'll be giving Hi a tour of the castle."
"I'll come too," says Lord Riku running to King Sora's side as he walks off.
"Of course you can come along, old friend," smiles Sora.
An hour later King Sora and Lord Riku are finishing showing Hi the castle when Ansem finds them in the courtyard.
"The lawyer is here," he announces.
"Very good," says King Sora. "Bring him to the birthing room."
Fifteen minutes later King Sora and Lord Riku meet Queen Kairi and the lawyer in the birthing room. Ansem already finished making his will while he was waiting.
"Thank you for coming mister uhh," says King Sora.
"You may call me Victor Your Majesty," says the lawyer taking papers from his briefcase. "I understand you want to add Princess Hi to your will too."
"Of course Victor," says Queen Kairi. King Sora takes the chair beside his wife while Lord Riku stands.
"Ok," says Victor as he begins writing on the papers. "Tell me what you want Hi to have."
"Well that's very easy," states King Sora. "Upon her rise to the throne Hi and her future husband will share everything equally. In the event that something should happen to us before her coming of age, Lord Riku will take care of her until she becomes an adult and gets married. Lord Riku will also be the one to take care of everything until she's ready. That's all I want at the moment." Victor jots it all down on the papers and hands them to King Sora.
"Sign here, both of you," he says. King Sora and Queen Kairi both sign the papers and Victor leaves with the papers in hand. As he is leaving Squall walks in. (King Sora met Squall when he used to call himself Leon, but now that everything is better then normal and he's with his old girlfriend, Rinoa, again he changed his name back to his given name.)
"I was with Cloud and Tifa as they were signing adoption papers for Dansel when Helen came for Victor," he says. Then he smiles. "Is it true? Is Hi really here?"
"Yes it is," replies King Sora walking over to Squall still cradling Hi in one arm. "Squall, this is Princess Hi." Squall takes one of Hi's little hands and lightly kisses it.
"Princess Hi, you have been born to two great parents," says Squall to the little baby that only giggles at him. "I am honored to be in charge of your safety. Now I have to go spread the word that you are here to The Radiant Garden Musketeers." Squall leaves the castle not noticing Helen slink away having heard everything that went on in the birthing room.
