Before everything happened... six children grew up together on Destiny Islands unknowning of what was about to happen in their future...
Tonight however one of these six were awake...
Nightmares
Vor shivered and pulled her blanket closer around her body as she walked down the beach of Destiny Islands. She had taken Hermod's boat out to the small island where all her friends played and was letting the water lap at her feet. The young girl had woken up from a nightmare and had decided to go out to clear her head. That was how Vor got to standing on the beach.
With a sigh, Vor sat down, paying no mind to her blanket which was now in the wet sand as she buried her face in her arms. She sat there in silence for a few moments, her mind drifting with the sound of the ocean. She wanted to forget about her nightmare.
It was the sound of crunching footsteps on sand which brought her back.
“Did you have another nightmare Vor?” Vor turned slightly to see Xehanort a few paces away from her spot on the sand
“Big Brother...” She sniffed and wiped at her eyes, and Xehanort walked the rest of the way forward to sit down next to her and wrap an arm around her shoulders. She wordlesslessly turned so she was pressed against him.
“Oh it must have been a bad one, Little Star, if you’re acting like that. Tell me about it?” Xehanort put a comforting hand on her head and waited for her to speak.
Silence echoed for a few moments more before she spoke, not entirely trusting her voice straight away.
"We were in that... that place again, the world of white walled towns and ribbons and windmills.." she murmured out, trying to keep her voice from wavering too much, and failing. "W-we were all there, and... a-and Er-eraqus was yelling at you! He was re-rea-really mad."
Vor sniffed again, biting her lip to try and stop more sobs. Xehanort brought up his other hand and started to card his fingers through her hair.
"And then i-i-it all f-fell away," the teen girl continued, finally letting out a sob. "Y-you were in th-that gr-graveyard again in the r-ra-rain..."
A finger pressed to her lips to stop her. Xehanort's face was sad as he looked at her with shining silver eyes. He had heard that part of the nightmare before. The graveyard in that world of white cites, the graveyard and four graves...
"Shhhh Vor," he soothed, pulling her closer. "Everything is alright."
"You promise?" Vor whispered, looking up at the silver haired boy with glistening eyes. His thumb came up to whip away her tears. "You promise everyone will be okay?"
"Of course silly," Xehanort replied with a grin, bopping her nose. "I'm your big brother, it's my job. I'll keep you safe. As for Eraqus, well, he's probably wrong. We both know I'm always right!"
Vor started to giggle and the silver haired boy ruffled her hair playfully. They sat there for a moment watching the waves, both laughing quietly together.
"You wanna go back now?" Xehanort asked after a while, looking up at the night sky which was starting to lighten. Vor shook her head and snuggled closer to the boy who had become her brother. He let out a small laugh. Vor wanted to watch sunrise? She'd likely be asleep again before it came.
"Hey, Vor?" Xehanort asked, staring across the ocean. When the girl hummed, he continued. "Even if Eraqus and I were to get into an argument, you'd be here to help us come to an agreement, right?"
"Of course!" The girl replied, her face gaining a mischievous smirk. "And if you don't, I'll wack you both with my hammer!"
The pair started to laugh again, nightmares all but forgotten.
