Sky: Yo guys hows it goin'. This is the prequel to 'How to Fly' which has a sequel called 'I Remember'. Please review and I might do some stories like this for Terra, Aqua and Ven or Axel, Xion and Roxas. Let me know what you think.

I taught them everything I knew about the worlds. Neverland, Wonderland, all of them. I taught them how to fly the same day I got my call up notice. I kept that a secret for as long as I could but soon there was only a few days before I would go to war and I had to tell them. I didn't want to. But I had no choice.

In that one night that we had left together we had never had as much fun as we did that day. I knew I would miss them, I just hoped they wouldn't forget me.

In theory Riku should have gone to war before me, he was older, had passed his exam but because I had saved the worlds before I went first. There were so many tears. I gave them my crown necklace, Kairi gave me her lucky charm. I was all set but not after I said one last thing to them.

"I'll come back to you, I promise"

"We know you will" They whispered back.

. . . .

As I stood on the frontlines I realised something that humanity hasn't advanced a step beyond the stone age. It isn't possible to say whether I live or die. I clutched Kairi's Lucky charm as I swung my blade at soldiers that had a family, that had friends, that felt the same as me but I will protect Riku and Kairi! Even if it is the last thing I do.

Ideals. Truth. Religion. Freedom. Grudges. Revenge. Love. Just because. Your reasons don't matter to anyone, you have still started a war, still killed innocent people. Turned children into people like me. I no longer see the bright side of anything, to many people were cut down before my eyes, to many people died in my arms, I have too much blood on my hands. I'm nothing more than a forgotten hero now.

Soon I managed to drown out the screams and ignore the smell of blood. I managed to turn my heart to an ice-cold steel that would last for the rest of the war. The problem was no one could melt it once I got home. I'd seen too much to ever be fixed.

. . . .

After I got back to Riku and Kairi we went flying...well they did I couldn't anymore. They seemed disappointed that I couldn't join them. To tell the truth I was disappointed too, I wanted to be able to fly around with them without a care in the world.

I wish I could still make light of any situation. I wish I could still be that happy-go-lucky teen. I wish I could join my friends.

When I was sent back to the war Riku came with me. The leaders of our army wanted to send him straight to the frontlines. I refused, I shouted, I screamed, I broke down, I lost. Both of us were to go to the front, I didn't know if I could handle that all again.

. . . .

When we got home Riku found that he too couldn't join Kairi in the sky. He to had seen too much. I missed being able to fly with her but Kairi and I are on different levels now. I have other people's blood on my hands whereas she is still untainted. 'I should be forgotten for I have killed.'

I'll never fly again because I am now unworthy of such an honor.
