I stand in a field of endless green, a boundless blue sky, a single tree standing in between. I venture towards the tree, walking as I begin to see memories not my own. Vibrant images flash inside my head as I see a red-haired woman holding a child and a blond-haired woman playing with the child. The laughter of children and adults can be heard as more images flash inside my head until I realize I'm getting closer to the tree. I see the same red-haired and blond-haired women standing beside the tree, staring off into the distance as I hear a bell ring, echoing across the land. I try to speak...but no words come out until I hear voices I do...and don't know.

Red-haired woman:" It's not time for us to meet yet, Sora."
Blonde-haired woman:" We're only meeting now due to you resonating with us."

I try to speak again but no words come out as the two continue staring off across the this beautiful world. I move closer until a pair of arms wrap themselves around me from behind, pulling me into a soft hug and stops me from moving.

Red-haired woman:" As long as you continue wielding that sword, we'll always be with you."
Blond-haired woman:" Though the guy we're with isn't a bad person... Our true partner is you."

They both now turn to face me but I couldn't see their faces as the world itself grew brighter. The hug tightened as all I could see was their growing smiles.

Red-haired:" Please... Continue fighting, Sora. Never give up. It's up to you to save this world."
Blond-haired woman:" So many people, many heroes from the two worlds past, believe in you. They have entrusted everything to you, Sora. They believe in the Man of Fate."
Red-haired woman:" We know it's unfair, to be asking this of you since this is our first time meeting."
Blond-haired woman:" To ask you, who's from a world more peaceful than ours, to fight in ours. But know this...

They both walk towards me, the light getting brighter but they both stand in front of me. They place one hand each onto my face, cupping my cheeks, as their smiles grew even more as they speak at the same time.

We'll always be beside you, standing next to should you ever need our help as you've done for us in the past. We... No, everyone... has bet on The Man of Fate to save the two worlds. Never stop fighting, Sora. We believe in you... Now... And forever ...

The light became so blinding that it enveloped the world around us until everything went dark. Behind me, the one that was hugging me moved closer to my ear to whisper. I see a kind of white armor and some strands of green hair flowing from the side but before I can do anything... I hear one thing whispered into my ear.

Wake up, Sora

I wake up, noticing the immediate change of my surroundings. I'm in some kind of lab, due to the amount of lab equipment in the room but I'm being held by chains locked onto my arms and legs. While also being some kind of lab, it appears to be a kind of holding cell as well as there's some blood stains on the walls, signifying the room as been used before. I try to move but immediately stop as I feel immense pain from my lower back.

Sora:" Ow...damn, that smarts... What happened...? Last thing I remember, Joran was talking and showing everyone how his abilities work...."

Flashback

I'm kneeling on the ground as everyone is observing Joran, paying close to attention to what he says. I notice him looking back at me a few times immediately after Eunie does.
