Hewo everyone I am back and my story is now remade. So now I hope you all enjoy this story once again. Well I don’t have much to say, so just enjoy.

Oh and (She my friend!) and I both worked on this, so we’re the duo that’s making this story happen. Got it? Good. Phee-chan is awesome and is ze editor. (She my friend too!)

Warning: For every chapter on, there will be a warning for what the chapter contains, so consider this as a warning of the other warnings to come.

Chapter one: Ryiv

Rain fell to the concrete ground. An unconscious girl lied in a puddle, soaking wet with a heart necklace. Everything was silent except for the symphony of the rain. The drizzle became a steady onslaught of rain drops, a few of them splashing the girl's face. Then the heart necklace glowed, and the girl stirred.

‘… Rain…’ She thought feeling the cold water tickle her skin.

The girl opened her eyes only let a grim, gray world greet her. She slowly sat up, getting a view of the surroundings. An ominous fog cloaked the world and hazed her vision. She squinted and made out the distant silhouette of a city. Thinking that it would provide shelter from the rain, the girl straightened to her feet. Suddenly a cold wind howled, and its icy breath shredded against the girl's body. The girl shivered and rubbed her arms before continuing on to the city.

Cold...’

She treaded through puddles, wincing as the arctic water drenched her shoes.

How did I get here?’ The question rang in her mind.

She reached the entrance to the skyscraper and found shelter under the overhang just above the door. She sat herself down on the steps and watched her misty breath fade into the air. The girl looked around, hoping for signs of people. There was none. She sighed in disappointment then huddled near the wall. She gazed out to the rain, pondering.

Why am I here... Am I lost? ...’ She paused. ‘Who am I?’

The girl looked at her shivering pale hands then clenched them shut.

... What's my name?’

The gale blew again, and a flash of lightning lit the city, revealing the empty buildings and deserted streets. The fog began to clear as the rain, which was getting heavier by the minute, started washing it away. The girl sat there for a few more minutes, unsure of what to do and trying to remember her reason of being here. Then, a tiny voice caught her attention.

Help!

The girl got up from the steps and scanned the horizon for the voice's owner. She saw nothing and concluded that it must've been a trick of her mind. Yet, just as she was sitting back down, the voice rang out again, this time louder and more urgent.

Xehanort, Even, anyone! Help!

Hastily, the girl ran back out into the rain which turned into a downpour. She brushed her wet black hair away from her face before running towards the sound of the voice.

“Hello? Where are you?” She called out, hoping to find the voice close by.

Please, anyone

The voice was getting closer and the girl quickened her pace, but still she saw nothing. But then, after a few more minutes of searching, she noticed strange twisting shadows. She then realized that those weren't shadows at all but creatures with curled antennas, limbs and glowing yellow eyes. In the middle of their circle was something different: a gray-blue figure trembling in fear.

“Hey, leave him alone!” She yelled angrily at the shadow creatures. She slapped and knocked all of the creatures out of the way as she headed near the gray creature.

The girl picked up the trembling figure, then saw that he was somewhat like the shadow creatures but yet different. On closer inspection, his antennas and tail both end with a clump of fur. His mirage-like wings hung limply to his side, and his four paws were bruised. The gray creature gazed up at her face with light blue eyes before licking her hand. The girl smiled and petted the strange creature on his head. She then turned to the shadow creatures.

“What kind of creatures are you, attacking him like that? You should be ashamed of yourselves!” She yelled with a piercing glare.

Her necklace started to glow again

... Heart... Heart...

The other shadowed creatures started chanting over and over again as they suddenly started to move towards the girl and the gray-blue figure.

The girl still furious wasn’t going to let these shadow creatures harm the gray-blue figure. “Get away from him this instant!”

Something bright starts to form in the girl's outstretched hand. The shadow creatures began backing away as the light starts to take shape of a giant key.

“I said get away!”

The shadow creatures shrieked and scurried away as fast as they could. The girl relaxed, and the light disappeared. She scooped up the creature into her arms.

“Let's get you out of this rain.”

The two, completely soaked from top to bottom, walked on the empty street, enduring the cold storm. The girl shivered from the cold.

“I should give you a name... Hm... What should it be...? Stormy?” She asked the gray-blue creature.

The figure shook his head.

“... Fog?” Another no. The girl sighed and started to ponder. “Hm…”

Zexion.

Her head turned towards the creature in confusion. “Huh?”

Zexion.

The creature stared at her and the girl repeated the name. “Zexion?”

The creature happily responded to that name. The girl smiled, then she took off her necklace and put it around Zexion's neck.

“Zexion it is then.”

The newly named creature perked up his antennas then started growling, his blue eyes shining. The girl turned around, only to see a mass of shadow creatures surrounding her.

Heart... Heart...

They began chanting again.

“Why'd they keep saying that?” The girl said as she took a glance over to Zexion. “They don't want you, do they?” She asked. She never received an answer.

The shadow creatures all at once tried to pounce on her, but the girl, gaining speed every minute, rushed away from their onslaught. By now, she was completely disoriented, and soon, with the shadow creatures at her heels, she found herself in front of a looming castle. Like the city which was far behind her, it was bleak and desolate... Or so she thought. The shadow creatures by now had surrounded her again, chanting the same thing over and over.

Heart... Heart...

The girl gently placed Zexion on the ground then shielded him from view.

“I won't let them harm you, Zexion, I promise.” She said determined not to lose.

This time, light appeared on both her palms. The shadow creatures again drew back, their eyes fixated on the light.

“If you want him, you'll have to go through me.”

The shadow creatures glanced at each other at the girl's challenge, then after a few seconds of exchanged stares, the shadow creatures made their move. Like a wave of darkness, they all charged. The girl swallowed nervously, but Zexion's whimpering caused her to stand her ground. The lights were getting brighter by the second, and their forms were becoming clearer. Just as the shadow creatures closed in on the final inch, two slashes of light gutted through the wave, sending the creatures flying. The girl blinked, confused, and then stared at her new weapons in awe. Both had the form of giant keys. She took one last look at Zexion before charging into the wave, swinging and slashing. With every swing, she felt a familiar presence, as if she had fought before. However, she soon realized that there were too many shadow creatures, and she was getting unusually tired. With the last of her strength, she summoned a blazing light. Then, she fell to the wet ground, her vision darkening. Right before her vision turned dark, she heard Zexion's call and a blurry black figure of a person.

Who are you?
Are you a dream?
Or maybe, you're someone I lost.
Are you?
I know your voice... I heard it somewhere before...
Someone so familiar...
Are you then a lost memory? A wandering thought?

Who are you?
Are you a dream?
Or maybe... maybe you're someone I’m trying to find...
