The sun is shining brilliantly, making the sea foam sparkle as it washes across the shore. The sand is clean and warm to the touch. The wind brings the faint scent of all kinds of tropical flowers, mixed with a hint of saltiness. Children are laughing. Paopu fruit are swaying in the breeze. It’s a typical summer afternoon on the islets of Destiny Islands.
On the beach between the docks, two familiar friends are playing. Sora and Kairi are running around and chasing each other, both with wooden swords in hand. It looks like they’ve been doing this for a while, since the beach is covered with footprints.
Sora turns around to face Kairi. His face is red, probably from laughter. He holds both ends of the wooden sword in front of himself like a shield, preparing to block an impact.
“Okay, try a combo.”
Kairi smiles and steps back, waiting for his confirmation. He nods.
KLUNK!
Kairi swings her sword at him, clashing it against his. Though he is pushed back a slight bit, he holds steady.
