"Artris..."

The blonde heard his mother's voice and he saw Luna and Sonia picking flowers together in a field of flowers. He frowned and came closer.

"Mom, will I ever find my baby brother? Will I ever find you?" Sonia asked, kind of looking down at the Sylleblossom she had. Lunafreya sensed her sadness.

"It will be alright, dear. You will find us, promise." She smiled and tucked Sonia's bangs behind her daughter's ear.

"When? I want to see both of you right now." Sonia tried to hid her tears and she closed her eyes. Lunafreya hugged her.

"Wow, they must really miss you." An orb of light came near Artris and he saw it. The orb's voice was really young and new of what it sounded like. Possible a little boy voice, Artris concluded.

"Who are you?" Artie asked, unsure of who it was.

"I'm a light that doesn't have a form yet! I'm really excited to see what I look like!" The voice said.

"Okay? So, what you said before..." He looked at Lunafreya and Sonia, "You said they must really miss me..."

"Yeah! They really wanted to find you it sounds like, did you run away?"

"Kind of... I had a choice of go with Xehanort or stay there and take the blame of what happened." He looked at Lunafreya, "I'm the reason she's a heartless now. Even Marluxia said I'd just be in the way."

"Who's Xehanort?"

"He's a man who took me away and left me to die anyway, simply because I was in the way."

"Oh, he sounds like a bad man!"

"Yeah, he kind of is."

"But don't listen to them. They are bad and cause bad things to happen! It sounds like they caused your heart to be a prison!"

"Huh?"

"You want to see them, right?"

"Of course I do but-"

"There you go! You should go see them! They miss you so much!"

"I can't... It's because I wasn't strong enough to protect mom and my family, I can't see them now."

"I heard a voice say they would love me no matter what! She sang to me and I know that she would love me no matter what I did!"

"Wait, are you a baby?"

"Um... I guess...? What's a baby?"

"Uh, I honestly don't know. I haven't seen one before but I did heard they have a light before they obtain a form from both mom and Della."

"Oh! I guess I am a baby then! So, anyway, the voice told me she would protect me and never let anyone hurt me."

"That must be your carrier... or your mom... sounds like she loves you even before you have a form."

"Yeah! I imagine your mom is the same!"

Artris sighed and looked at Lunafreya, who was comforting a now crying Sonia. The blonde boy cried too and he wiped his eyes. Luna looked up and saw a light, making Artris visible to them. They gasped and saw him.

"Artris!" Sonia came and hugged him. Artie froze, both in fear and sadness. He sniffed and hugged her suddenly, crying into her shoulder.

"S-s-sissy... I-I-I'm s-sorry! It's all my fault! I messed up!"
