A long time ago there was only one world

a world in which everyone lived

a world where everyone was the same

a world without shadows.

This world didn't have a name back then.

It wasn't until later that it got its name.

Two siblings lived here in a small house near the forest.

Neither of them have a clue of what's going to happen ...

"How beautiful the sky looks today."

said a girl who was lying on the meadow and looking at the sky.

"As if you could grab him ..."

said a boy next to her.

"Did you know that the name Sora means heaven?"

"No, but I know the meaning of my name."

"I would also like a name that has a meaning."

"But your name is beautiful."

"What does your name mean, brother?"

"Country."

"How dreary."

"You just have to say. Your name doesn't mean anything."

"But it sounds nice!"

The girl turned to him.

"Did you have a dream tonight too?"

she asked him sadly.

"No. Have you had a dream?"

"Yes."

He turned to her and looked deep into her eyes."Do you want to tell me?"

...

"There were a lot of shadows there. No, they were a huge shadow. What do you call something like that?"

"I do not know what you mean."

"Let's call it darkness."

"Darkness? You mean the night! It was night in your dream."

"No. It was different. I was afraid of it. It swallowed everything. Nothing was there anymore. Everyone was suddenly dead. Only you and I were still there. When the darkness approached you stood in front of me and protected me. I was so scared. But then something shone in us. And it protected us. I think it was the hope. "

"You say hope? And what happened then."

"Two keys appeared. They emerged from the glow around us. These lights ... was also completely different ..."

"Do you mean the sun?"

"No. It was warm but it wasn't the sun. It shone in all colors. What do you call that?"

"Let's call it light."

"Light? Okay. Anyway, those two keys weren't really keys.That was ..., I don't know ... how to call it ... I think it doesn't exist. We didn't know how to handle it, but a boy like that knew it and drove the darkness away with the keys. And then I woke up. "

"Strange dream."

The boy got up.

"But it must mean something."

The girl sat down.

"Hopefully the dream won't come true."

The boy looked at her with a grin.

"Even if I do. I'll protect you just like in your dream, Rill."

The girl laughed at him.

"Thank you, Riku."

They looked up to the sky.
Dark clouds came up.
"Come on Rill let's go." said Riku and took his sister by the hand.

This Riku looked similar to the Riku we all know but was not the same.
His sister was a girl with the same eyes as him.
She also had the same hair color but her hair was shorter.
Both wore only white clothes.

"Let's go home quickly." said Riku and pulled his sister with him.They ran to a house that was close to a forest. It was a cozy little house.
You didn't live here alone. Their parents were long dead, but a good friend of theirs lived with them. He was a strange boy. He was only a year younger than her but had a lot more energy.
Nothing could stop him when he turned on.

"We are back!" Rill called out to the boy.
"Man, where have you been? I was bored here." he said cheekily.
"You can't go on without us? What?"
Offended, he turned away.

"Tell me ..." Riku began. "Don't you really want a name?"
The boy shook his head angrily.
"No! Only my parents should have given me a name!"
Rill looked at him sadly.
"But your parents couldn't help it that they died right after you were born and couldn't give you a name. Don't be so resentful."

The boy looked sadly at the sky.
"But I don't want a name that a stranger chooses for me."
"Then you choose one!" Riku said annoyed."It's not the same!"

It thundered and started to rain.

"Let's go in." decided Rill.
