My second One Piece story series! This is a different version of the Fearless story. This is what would have happened had Morgan been born in the world of One Piece. I also know a few more things about the anime so I'm not totally blind on this.

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece

I ran through the forests of Snow Sand Island. I was playing a game with my best freind and adoptive sister Anna and our baby sitter and gaurdian, Girta. Anna and I are the same age of seven. Girta is age thirteen. She has been with us since as long as we can remember.

We ran out onto the beaches with sand so white, it was mistaken for snow, hence the island's name. It also can snow here even though this place is usually tropical throughout the year. Speaking of snow, I see Snow up ahead. She was the daughter of Ivory, one of the gaurdians of the ocean.

Her mother, Flower, is an oryx/antelope type of deer. She is ugly as all get out but she has the sweetest personality. She is able to talk with humans and walk upright. It's sometimes a wonder that Snow has come out looking as beautiful as she is.

Snow normally stays in her deer form but she also has a form where she walks upright like a human and looks like something that resembles a child.

Snow looks like a young elk with short thick ringed horns. Every part of her is white as snow except for her eyes which where ice blue. Her nose has a pink tinge as do her hooves. She wore a little pink dress with a flower design. Despite being the same age as I am, she still looked cute to me and Anna.

I smile when she decided to join in on the game. She was in her deer form. Anna and I jump onto her back when we notice Girta was gaining on us. Girta behind us shouted protests.

We were playing a game of tag. Girta didn't stop chasing us like we expected. Instead she kept chasing us. Where does this girl get her energy? I would be down on the ground panting!

Girta started gaining on us. We approached town. Snow wove in between people nimbly. People were used to this by now and even could predict where we were coming from as they moved things out of the way. I grabbed an apple from one of the stands. The seller just shook her head and wrote it down on the I owe you list.

We lost Girta! Anna and I high fived. Then we saw something flashing in a building on the outskirts of town. I think Maggie is onto a new invention today. We decided to take a break at her place.

Twenty-five year old Maggie worked in an old metal building near the water. Boats and ships used to be built here. Maggie dreams of building a ship. She already had the skeleton laid out. However, Maggie has had a setback since she lost her left arm in an accident. She has been trying to build an efficient prosthetic.

We walked into her place to see her just put down her torch. On her left shoulder was an odd contraption. She notices us and lifts up her work goggles. She looked like a reversed colored raccoon! We all couldn't help but giggle at the sight. She looked into the mirror and she also laughed and took a rag to her face to clean off all the residue.

"Hiya kids. I bet you came to see what I've been doing. Come take a look!" She said excitedly.

"See this thing on my shoulder? It connects to nerve endings in my body. It should make this arm I made function like a normal arm." she said showing us what she has been working on all day.

On the table in front of us was a shining metal arm. We looked at it in awe.

"I've already tested it before attaching this artificial joint to me. It should work." she said grabbing the metal arm.

She put it to the artificial limb on her shoulder. We heard a click and then Maggie suddenly cried out in pain. We pannicked.

"Relax! The pain just means it's connected to the nerves. It's going to be sore for awhile." Maggie said.

Maggie hesitantly move her new arm. It was like a natural arm! No delayed movements or anything. It was perfect. The only flaw was that when she grabbed her wrench, she bent it out of shape.

"Oops! Looks like I'm going to have to adjust to it before going back to work." she said.

We touched the arm and examined it. It was made of solid titanium. It was the perfect shape and everything. From a distance, it looked like an armored arm. Then I heard a distant voice singing a song.

"Many waters cannot quench love. Neither can the floods drown it." We heard a beautiful voice sing.

We excused ourselves from Maggie's shop to find the owner of the voice.

It was Emily. She is actually a zombie with a body that doesn't look like a corpse and in fact she still looks human. The only part of her that gives her away is her left arm which is nothing but bone. The rest of her can't rott due to some type of devil fruit she ate. The fruit doesn't allow her body to die or decompose. Only her left arm has rotted to bone and she keeps it nicely polished. If she were to get a wound, she would stitch it back together.

Emily was covered in stitches. She had a line of them on the right side of her mouth and they continued to her ear. She has stitches across her stomach and they continue to the middle of her chest. She has a line of stitches on her back that extend from her right shoulder to her left hip. Her skin is a pale grey color. Her eyes are white including her pupils. Her hair is pure white. She doesn't bleed but she does heal in her own way, it just takes a couple years.

Emily is actually a couple hundred years old. She noticed us and smiled.

"Hey kiddos! Have you come to listen to your godmother sing?" She asked.

Yep! Emily is our godmother! She doesn't visit a lot but when she does, we always have the funnest of times. I do hope she'll play the piano! We head to the tavern. I wonder where Girta went?

Meanwhile!

"You kids can't hide from me forever!" Girta shouted.

After passing through town she realized something.

"I think I just ran around the island twice... without resting... Aw well! I SHALL CATCH UP TO THEM EVENTUALLY!" She shouted with determination.

Back with Morgan...

In no time, we were at the tavern. Emily invited me to sit next to her. Snow sat next to us.

"We can't stay out too late tonight. A blizzard is blowing in from the North." Snow warned.

On this island, even in the summer months a snow storm can blow in at any given moment. The snow usually melts as soon as the sun comes out. It's only because an air current blows cold air over here sometimes. These blizzards happen a lot more often in the winter but we only get ten or twelve of them a year. Everything should go back to being warm in about three days at the most.

But back to the tavern scene.

"Will you play for us today?" I asked with excitement in my voice.

"No. I think it's time you played. You remember the lessons I taught you, haven't you?" she asked.

"Yeah but... I don't know any songs..." I said sadly.

"Just play something. Think of a song and feel it in your heart. I take notes of it. Just play it!" Emily said.

She took out her music book ready to write the song. I sat there nervously. Emily chuckled.

"Start by closing your eyes. Don't think, just feel." she said.

I knew every note on the piano like the back of my hand. I could hear each chord in my head before playing it even. When I hit a chord I had a vision in my head. A battle... of pirates and marines. I wasn't even there... I was just a ghost... an energy in the air.

They were about to execute a man but then... a boy suddenly appeared. He had some weird ability that allowed any part of him to stretch. I watch this battle unfold around me. So many intense fights went on, I didn't know which one to watch. A big man with a crecent shaped mustache had a huge hole through his chest. I saw a blonde man with some odd ability that allowed blue fire to appear around him... in the shape of some sort of bird. I saw some pink haired marine boy trying to stop the battle.

Then I turned towards a scene. That stretchy boy was about to get hit by an attack from a man that could turn himself into magma. Right as the hit was about to land, the man he was trying to rescue took the hit for him. His body also had flames coming from his body. The man had a hole punched right through his chest. I never saw such a gruesome wound!

The man landed on the rubber boy. The boy sat there shocked. The man said some words and then he went limp and the flames around the man went out. the boy seemed pannicked... scared... crushed. He was so greif stricken that someone had to move him out of the way of another attack.

Flashes went through my head of other intense fights at the scene. That big man with the mustache dying... his crew... that man with the blue flames... but most of all... I saw that man that produced those regular flames. I saw him die over and over again.

Suddenly I saw another vision of a ship on fire... all I saw was a top hat with goggles on it and the ship burning and sinking in the background.

When the song ended... I saw a flash of a place I knew. It was the rocks near my house. I felt my breathing become labored like I was drowning. Those rocks often wash things up on the shore.

I got up from the piano and I ran towards home. I never ran so fast in my life! I ran to the rocks only find... the hat from my vision. It was mangled and ripped... I don't think Emily could even fix this. I shivered... A cold breeze was coming from the North... It will snow soon.

When I picked up the hat, I saw a boy in the distance. His face was half in the water. I quickly ran over to him and lifted his head up. I couldn't tell if he was alive. He wasn't breathing but his body still felt slightly warm despite the water being cold because of the Northern storm approaching.

I quickly punched his back as hard as I could. At first, water leaked from his mouth but then he suddenly coughed and a whole lot of water came out of his mouth. He broke out into a coughing fit and he started shivering. I knew this was a good sign. I heard someone rush up from behind me.

"I GOT YOU NOW!" Girta shouted triumphantly.

Right as she tagged me, she noticed the kid. She gasped. Everyone else caught up and also gawked in shock. Emily was the first to speak.

"Oh my! We must get this poor boy in the house right now!" She said.

"His vitals don't sound so good." Snow said.

Snow's father had healing powers and could even sense someone's vitals. Likewise, his daughter inherited his abbilities. Emily quickly carried him into my house.

She stripped the boy of his wet clothing and put him on my bunk, which was closest to the fire place. His clothes were tossed to me. They were so mangled and singed like his hat. I doubt they were wearable anymore. Then Saphire, my pet dragon, came into the room. I think we woke her from her nap. Dragons sleep a lot when they hit a growth spurt.

Anyway, back to this kid. He had blonde hair and he was missing a tooth from the looks of it. Emily used a towel to dry him off as best she can. Meanwhile, I put warm water in out tea kettle to boil on our stove in the kitchen. I got a water bottle ready to pour it in. Emily was pleased to see that she didn't even have to tell me. This has happened to Girta once when she fell in cold water and nearly drowned. Anna also did the same thing too. I was different. I could easily swim in ice cold water without all this. It was all thanks to my inherited abilities.

Girta was looking for some clothes to cover the boy with and some extra blankets. He ended up getting some sky blue kitty pajama pants and one of Girta's plain blue t-shirts. We covered that boy with just about every blanket in the house.

The tea kettle whistled and I poured the water into two bottles and closed them tightly. I rushed them out there and handed them to Emily. She put them under the blankets and she made sure they were against his skin.

"Morgan... Anna... You'll both need to bunk with him tonight. He'll need all the warmth he can get." she said.

"Right!" I said.

"But he's a boy!" Anna squeeked.

"So! He's freezing! I'm sure he won't think anything of it." I said.

"That doesn't mean I won't!" Anna said.

"Oooh... Don't tell me you have a crush on him already." I said in a teasing voice.

"Shut up! I'm not the one who's okay with getting in bed with him!" She countered.

"Why are you implying that? Are you jealous?" I shot back.

"Eh...uh...ehe errraAAAAGH! Fine! I'll bunk with you two!" she said throwing her hands up in defeat.

Emily cooked some supper for us. I saw clouds coming in outside the window as I sat on the foot of the bed. It looks like I grabbed him just in time. Sure enough, snow started falling. I could smell Emily cooking her famous stir fry. Then I felt him stir under the blankets.

"...water..." He muttered.

Girta came to his side and I hopped off the bed. I went into the kitchen and poured a small cup of tea. The kettle was still warm and the water was the perfect drinking temperature. I put some lemon and honey to sweeten it. It was a remedy that we usually used for colds but I'm sure lemon honey tea should help him more than just regular water. I take the cup to Girta and I got back onto the bed to tip the boy's head up.

We were glad to see him drink it without choking. He still was asleep. Soon, Emily was done cooking. We all ate some of her stir fry over white rice while sitting in mine and Anna's room to keep an eye on the boy.

Then my dad came in through the door.

"I smell something good!" he shouted.

Emily went down stairs. We heard her explain to him about our 'guest'. He too came up stairs with a large bowl of stir fry and an extra bowl that he set next to the fire to keep warm. Emily came up with bottle full of the lemon honey tea and placed it next to the fire as well. My father stared at the boy.

My dad was the biggest man ever. We didn't even have real doors. We just had these huge gaps between rooms with curtains as the only means of doors except for our front door, which had two large doors. I could fit in my dad's hand. It was a wonder how I was an average sized seven year old girl instead of a giant like him.

"Hmm... I wonder where his family is." He said.

"They must be worried sick." Emily said.

"I'm sure someone will come asking about him." Girta said.

I sat on the foot of the bed and stared at him as I ate. I found him and I felt responsible for him. It was so like me to worry over someone hurt. I never really saw a boy close to our age before. Anna and I are the only kids in our age group. Others are either too old or toddlers.

"Dad... What if he has no family?" I asked.

My dad looked thoughtful.

"I'll have to know him better before I can answer that." he said.

Saphire came in and sat next to me. She curled up and fell asleep. I stroked her back and she purred in response. I suddenly felt him stir again. I looked at him. His eyes opened. He looked around and seemed alarmed.

"Where... am I?!" He said trying to sit up but the weight of the blankets kept him down.

He was still a little weak considering I easily lifted the blankets up off of him. He sat up.

"Take it easy kid. You were drenched in cold water." Emily told him.

"What happened to you?" Anna asked.

"I...ship...fire...sunk." he said weakly.

"He was on a ship... Trying to leave his home, his country. The ship caught fire and it sunk. He somehow survived. I don't understand... the East Blue is miles away from here. How could you have drifted this far?" I asked him.

Everyone gaped at me except dad. He gave me a suprised look but it changed to curiosity.

"I saw it in a vision while I played that song at the tavern. I didn't know what came over me, just a vision of a fight. Then I was in a ship that caught fire and then I saw a flash in my head of where he washed up here. So I ran here... I don't know why but I just felt the need to." I said.

There was a long silence that followed. Emily spoke up.

"Jack... I don't recall a foresight power being apart of her inheritance." she said.

"No. A ghost or spirit is communicating with her. This battle you saw. Did someone die?" dad asked.

"Yes... I kept seeing a man get killed over and over again." I said.

"This ghost wants you to stop that from happening, Morgan. Somehow, this boy you found will also have something to do with it. That spirit obviously wanted you to save him so that he may aid you in whatever task it has planned for you. It's quite an honor really. It's not everyday a spirit will call on us Seamoores but it's also a common family thing we have. Your grandfather is the gaurdian of the deep abyss because of a vision. I quite impressed that you would be called upon at such a young age." My dad said.

"Why though?" I asked.

"It could be anything. The spirit could want him alive because he'll be of use in the future or it's a ghost that has strong feelings for him. It could be a mother or father or possibly both. All I know is that you have to listen to these visions. Or else a disaster may strike. I'm sure you can do it! You're Morgan Marisol Seamoore! Anything is possible in our family!" Dad said laughing.

"I guess... Hey boy, are you hungry? We saved you some salmon stir fry." I said to him.

He nodded. I grab his bowl by the fire and gave it to him. He started eating it really fast.

"Woah! Slow down! You'll make yourself sick! Gaurded by a spirit or not, your stomach has probably been without food for quite some time. You drifted all the way across the great line for pete's sake." Emily said.

He choked and I patted his back to help him cough it up.

"Wh-what?!" he choked.

"If Morgan here is correct, you have been on a long journey young man." Emily said.

"Uh..." he stood there in shock.

"Maybe we should ask your name. I don't want to just call you 'boy' all the time." I suggested.

"It would be nice to know." Emily said.

"Yeah" Anna agreed.

"Sabo... I'm Sabo." he said.

"Nice to meet you, Sabo! I'm Morgan!" I said politely.

"Uhhh...Likewise." He said.

"I'm Tegorna Girta. I keep watch over these two munchkins." She said gesturing to me and Anna.

"I'm Emily! I'll warn you that I am in fact a zombie but don't worry, I don't eat brains." She said.

"I am Jack Seamoore. Captain of the Black Dragons and former Navy admiral." My dad said.

Anna just glared at him.

"Do I still have to share a bed with this punk?" She asked.

Everyone else laughed at her.

"Don't mind Anna. She just has something against boys. Her and I share the bed you're on since her bunk above us got broken. Unless you want to sleep on the hard floor in the shape you're in, you'll have to share." I informed him.

He just stared off for a minute.

"That's fine... Is there anything to drink?" he suddenly asked.

Looks like Anna wasn't getting the 'ew girls' reaction she was hoping for. She was gaping at him as I poured him some more tea. I have a vague feeling that he would be part of our family some day.

The next day... Sabo hardly ever talked to us. He acted cold and withdrawn. I couldn't blame him. I wouldn't be happy if I drifted a long way from my family too. He went off on his own a lot and sometimes for days on end.

So one day, I went after him. He went deep into the forest... even deeper than the old inn that Flower and Snow lived at. This was my first time wondering the forest all by myself. I wondered why someone would wonder off into this scary place all alone. It got darker the deeper I went. Next thing I knew, it was night time.

I didn't know where to go and for once, I was scared. I pannicked and ran deeper into the forest. I thought that maybe I could get to the other side if I kept going. As I ran, the ground got damper until I was running through nothing but mud.

"Daddy! Girta! Somebody!" I shouted in my pannick.

I stopped to catch my breath.

Suddenly, I heard a howl in the distance and the next thing I knew, the wild dogs that live on this island were chasing me. I tried to run but I tripped on a log. A sharp pain ran throughout my right leg. I saw black dots cloud my vision it hurt so bad. Before my vision went completely black, I heard a bunch of dogs yelp.

I awoke on Sabo's back.

"S-...Sabo.. My leg..." I said.

"Your leg is badly injured. You have this big bump on it." He said.

He walked on in silence. I notice my shin had a huge swollen bump on it.

"Why did you come after me. I made it clear that I want to be left alone. I even punched you on the head yesterday." He said.

"My vision..." I said.

"You're such a pest. It was just a dream." He said.

"If it was a dream, then how else did I find you? You would've been dead, Sabo." I told him.

"You should have left me. It was a dream. Finding me was just a coincidence. I'd be better off dead." He said.

We stood there in silence.

"Why do you wish to be dead? I thought... nevermind... maybe that part was a dream." I said.

Another paused followed. I could finally see some moonlight shine through the trees.

"Well... say it and I'll tell you if it's a dream." He said.

"I thought... It was your dream to write a book about your adventures." I said.

Sabo paused. I could hear his breathing became shaky. He seemed shocked.

"Why not start here? You have been brought to us for a reason. You me and Anna... Girta, Maggie, and Emily too. We will all set off on our adventures someday as our own crew. Just please stay her with us. Ace... Luffy... I somehow know their names and yet you never told me about them. One day, Sabo. One day we will see them on our journeys. Until then, we got to get stronger." I said.

He started walking again.

"I guess... We should get home first." He said.

I swore I saw a slight smile on his face even though I was on his back.

I lied there next to Sabo on the bunk and listened to him tell us his adventures with his brothers. Everyone was in the room staring in wonder at the fact that he was talking. Even Anna was listening intently. Everyone thought he was just going to stay cold and withdrawn.

"And then Luffy used his gum gum pistol but it came back and hit him in the face!" Sabo said laughing.

"It sounds like you guys caused a lot of trouble." my dad said.

"And we don't?" I asked.

"Yeah you do. But people let you get away with it because they'll end up coming to me to pay for whatever damage you cost them. You're lucky that I make and sell jewelry as well as collect treasure. I still have cash to spare but please don't take that a permission to tear up the town." dad said

"I won't... for now." I giggled.

My leg wasn't broken, it was just badly sprained. Maggie put some type of brace on it that will allow me to walk normally without actually putting full weight on my leg. I swear, Maggie would be rich if she told the world of her prosthetic limbs and these awesome leg braces she makes. These things really worked wonders.

Then I suddenly remembered something. Snow was town doctor after our old doctor whom has retired. Snow was so smart that she learned everything in shorter time than the average human.

"Hey Snow! How's Aki and her baby?" I asked.

Aki was our sensei. She taught us capoeira and other martial arts. Girta has recently graduated her teachings. Girta herself would teach us how to improve moves in her spare time.

"Aki's sickness is getting worse... It's uncertain but she still has some time to get better before the baby gets here." Snow answered.

"I do hope that she'll feel better soon." I said.

"Who's Aki?" Sabo asked.

"She's our sensei. She's really tough when she's teaching us but she's also very nice. She actually helped us out several times. I wonder if she'll teach you some things too. It's been awhile since she's taught a boy. You'll learn to love her." I said.

The next day... we visited her.

"Woah! She's big!" Sabo said.

"Ehh? Calling me fat are we?" She asked.

Aki had crimzon red hair and maroon eyes to match. She normally has a thin yet muscular build. She's so cute when she's pregnant! She looks thin and then there's this big random bulge on her body.

"Eeehehehe. No no! I wasn't saying you're fat you're just... really... umm... big.." He said pannicked.

"In other words, I'm fat." she said clenching her fists and gritting her teeth.

"Uh oh!" He said fearfully.

Suddenly she lifts up her hand. Sabo closes his eyes expecting a hit to come. Instead, he felt a pat on his head.

"Well you sure are jumpy! I'm sure you'll fit right in here kid. I hope you will be under my teachings soon." She said turning the head pat into a rough noogie.

"You will, right?!" She asked firmly and yet it somehow had a soft tone.

"Ow! That hurts! Of course I will! Now please stop that!" Sabo pleaded.

She started petting his hair again and rubbing the sore spot. That's Aki for you, she'll hurt you to get the answer she's looking for and then apologize only if you say yes. I know if he would have said no, she would have just playfully shoved him away.

"Hey, Morgan. I heard about the song you made up. May I hear it?" She asked suddenly.

"Sure." I said.

I played the first key and soon, I was pulled into the vision again except it was more vivid. I saw the man whom I understand to be Ace. I saw him get taken out of his cell and as they were convicting him I was shocked and angered that he was to be executed mostly because of his father rather than just being a pirate. Was being born to a wanted father a crime? Is it so wrong to be a pirate that just wants to see the world? That's so wrong!

I sat there and watched as I noticed a fleet of pirate ships in the distance. I watched as the... Whitebeard pirates? They came up from the water with coating on their ships. There were so many of them and they all came just to save him. So why does he die? Why were their efforts in vain?

I watched the battle unfold. Luffy (I think) and some others came into this fight. I don't really know where they came from but I watched. I could see everything more clearly than before. Unnamed faces had names... Shadows and silouhettes became people and objects. I slowly began to hear sounds... like muffled explosions. I have a feeling that the more I play this song and the older I get, the more clearer this scene will appear. Then I saw Ace take a hit for Luffy.

I watched him die. I could see his sadness and gratitude for his brother and crew trying to save him... Ace... I wish I could change this...

On the last note of the song, I passed out.

I saw nothing but a light... As I neared it, it turned out to be a glowing hibiscus flower. It gave off such a warm gentle glow. A soft breeze blew through my hair... The breeze was like the soft caress of a mother's hand. Why would it make me think of that when I've never had a mother?

My you have grown, child. You were so little when I last saw you. A gentle voice said.

"Have we met?" I asked.

I made sure you were born, Morgan. This is the first time I have gotten a good look at you. The voice said.

"How did you make sure I was born? My father told me nothing of it." I said.

I wasn't among the living then and I'm still not. I have come to make sure you were born. Your mother wasn't suppose to have you. She was suppose to miscarry you but I stopped it. It costed her life but it seems that my intervention has actually brought more joy than heartbreak.

"How? You made my mother die." I said.

Anna wouldn't have been adopted. Maggie wouldn't have the inspiration to do her work. Emily would still be lonely and wondering the world without family. Snow wouldn't have any freinds or be the doctor she is. Girta would have been killed in a street fight. Aki wouldn't be pregnant. Sabo wouldn't have lived. Your home town wouldn't have as much excitement. Morgan, you're already showing that you were meant to be here.

"I guess I owe you a lot. What do I do?" I asked.

You must save my son, Ace.

"How? I'm not strong enough to fight that many marines!" I said.

You will be in time. You'll know when you're ready. Farewell my child...

"Is this a dream? I don't even know your name!" I said.

It's Rouge...Farewell...

The hibiscus flower suddenly shattered and the glowing pieces came towards me. They all went to the inside of my left wrist to form something. Before I saw what it was, I woke up.

"Morgan?! Are you alright?!" Aki asked.

"Yeah... Just a vision again." I said.

"What about?" Aki asked.

I shook my head.

"It's nothing." I said.

"Hey look! When did you get that?" Sabo said pointing to my wrist.

On my wrist was a black tattoo in the shape of a hibiscus flower. I gasped.

"Oh... Just a reminder." I said.

We were at home again. I was showing dad my mark.

"This mark is serious, Morgan. This means that your reason for being here... Is to help this man you saw. Hmm... Well... Training starts tomorrow before sunrise for Anna, you... and your brother." dad said.

"Brother?!" I asked.

"What?!" Sabo said.

"Sabo... I will adopt you by the end of the year. You and the girls are way too close for me to let you go... I also need a son... I have too many women in my life." My dad said before exiting the room.

We stood there gaping in shock. Sabo has only been with us for a month and two weeks.

Sabo fell onto his knees. Anna and I look at each other and then Sabo. He was petrified in shock.

I got up and walked infront of Sabo. I kneel in front of him and put both of my hands on his shoulders.

"Welcome to the family... Big brother." I said hugging him.

He hesitantly hugged back. Anna got up and hugged him from behind. He started to chuckle and so did Anna and I. Soon, our chuckles turned into laughter. We laughed until we cried.

We were awakened by my dad the next day. He pulled the blanks off of us in our shared bunk.

"Sabo, you'll have to learn Capoeira as we go. It's going to be hard but when Aki has her baby. She'll train you if you have time to spare but until then, come on ladies! We're off!" He said.

"What about breakfast?" I asked.

"I had Emily make you some rice balls to eat on your way out." He said.

We were eating our rice on the way to the forest. Dad stopped at its edge.

"Your training starts now! I am only your father when we're at home but right now, I am your teacher! Instead of learning about swordmanship like Girta, you will learn survival skills, fighting skills, weapons including the sword!" He shouted.

Three years later...

Everything has been so busy for us. Aki has taught Sabo capoeira. He can keep up with Anna and I now. He's even better than Anna but he has yet to catch up to me. I'm always one step ahead of him despite him being the big brother.

He is now legally my brother. My dad talked to his parents... they acted like they never knew him and were glad to hand him over. He was dead in their eyes. Sabo was releived that they weren't trying to get him back and so am I and everyone else.

Girta had to go and perfect her skills with her swords. She left yesterday to be taught by an old swordsman at a chain of islands three days away.

Emily wondered off somewhere and Maggie has been so busy lately.

Sabo, Anna, and I lived at a tree house that we and dad built. We add on little things to it. We've built multiple tree houses and we would connect them with a rope or bridge. I usually ride Saphire's back to get to ones we have yet to build bridges to.

We were hunting for our next meal. I target was in sight: It was a wild boar and it was a big one!

"Sabo, you go hide over there in those bushes. You'll be downwind from it. Anna, stay at its right. If it doesn't run towards Sabo, it'll run to you. If it runs the other way, there's a pit waiting for it! I'll trying killing it with my bow on the first shot. Remember, make it quick if the first shot fails! Now go!" I whispered.

"Right!" they both said.

When they were in position, I moved upwind of the boar. It sniffed the air. I readied my bow silently and then I pulled it back. The boar gave me a good shot at its neck. But then it leveled its head... Maybe I can hit it in the head at some weak point and kill it instantly. I aimed my bow and then I let go. The arrow hit the boar right in the eye, killing it instantly.

"Perfect!" Sabo shouted.

I got my knife out and got to work. We're having pork tonight! So I was shocked when I cut open its stomach and an object fell out. It was a piglet. It had died in the womb when the mother did. I cut the pigs stomach completely open to find a whole litter of dead piglets. At least I don't have to worry about killing them individually... I wouldn't have the heart to. Then Anna snatched one up. It was moving.

"Anna, it can't survive without its mother." Sabo said taking out his own knife.

"No! I'll keep it!" She insisted.

"Let her have it, Sabo. It might end up dying anyway. I say let her try to save this one." I said.

"You guys have such a soft spot for animals! You'll end up over running yourselves with them." He said helping me gut the pig.

Anna moved off with her new pet in her arms. We did have a few animals back home aside from Saphire, whom was already eating the dead piglets and entrails. We had some birds, cats, monkeys, and one wolf. They're mostly still wild but under our protection. They often visit looking for hand outs.

After we gutted and skinned our catch, we took it to our tree house to cook. Anna was already bottle feeding her new baby. I shook my head at the sight and I went to gather wild onions, seasonings, berries, and fungi to go with our supper. Sabo will wash the meat while I'm gone. I'll do the rest as long as he helps me chop up some vegetables.

I found ten sea onions, five big mushrooms, a bunch of small skinny mushrooms, a few wild sea lemons, and some herbs.

Sabo had already cut the meat up. He helped me cut up my findings. Soon, we put it in a pot to become a type of stew. After all that was done, I sat down and played with a drop of water. I made it hover in air, dance around my fingers and I finally let it fall to the ground. Then I forced the juice out of a lemon slice and into my mouth.

My grandpa, Nareus, had raised me for the first five years of my life. He taught me how to control water from making it move, turning it into ice, to turning it into steam. My dad was so grief stricken by mom's death that he didn't even look me directly in the eyes until gramps finally forced my dad to raise me. First thing he said to me that my eyes were a different color: I had an aquamarine colored eye on the left and a cerulean blue eye on the right.

We've lived together ever since. Girta has lived with dad to learn from him and when he wasn't around she would babysit me for gramps if she had spare time. She would often pulled the 'I changed your daipers' card on me. Ever since I moved back into the house, Girta was not only my babysitter but also my gaurdian. One time, I got chased by the island wild dogs as a little girl and she killed them all with her sword.

Girta has blonde hair and green eyes and a rather skinny build.

Anna was adopted into our family a year later. She had been my best freind ever since we first met. We've had our ups and downs but sisters fight.

Anna has curly blonde hair and ice blue eyes.

After a few hours, the stew has been cooked well enough to eat.

"Soup's on!" I said serving mystelf a bowl.

I sat down while I watched Sabo and Anna fight for their own serving. The advantage of being the cook in this case is that you get first dibs on food. They finally settled down enough to grab their own bowl. Anna and Sabo quarreled a lot. They still care for eachother like a brother and sister should but I still worry about them a lot. Not about hurting eachother but I think they actually like eachother. Having a relationship with an adoptive sibling isn't really a good idea.

If the relationship doesn't work out, things might tend to be a little akward. I know we're too young for those kinds of things but in time, I know something will happen between those two. Then I heard a knock... on the trunk of the tree. Only my dad is strong enough for that so I was suprised to see who I saw when I looked down. It was gramps.

"Morgan? There you are! I need you to come with me tonight. I have specail training for you. Say your goodbyes to your brother and sister. You might not see them for a long time." He said.

Morgan's adventures start in a new way. Next chapter shall tell us where her grandpa will take. BTW - Morgan will have another grandpa in this... You won't find out for awhile.
