Chapter 0: Beginning after the End

Sora reads a book as he lays in bed, an easy smile on his face. Despite his terminal battle with cancer, Sora always wore a smile. Diagnosed at a young age, Sora spent much of his short life in and out of hospitals, enduring treatments and therapies that often left him exhausted. However, his resilience and optimism inspired everyone who met him.

His family, deeply devoted and loving, made the most of every moment they had with him. They filled his days with laughter, stories, and adventures, creating precious memories to cherish.

His parents who came by gave him some books and teaching him as he was home schooled due to him being terminally ill as for his siblings they play with him with cards, board games and table top and his favorite dungeons and dragons.

Sora hears a sound out of the window when he looks outside he sees a flock of birds outside flying around. Sora looks on with envy as he wishes to go outside and experience the world like those birds turning away at his thoughts he goes back to reading his book before a the door opened he glance to the door only to see all of his family members came into the room.

"Hey how's my little man doing," Sora father said putting a smile.

"Hey sweetie how are you feeling," his mom said waving at him and putting a gentle smile.

Sora look at his family members faintly smiling. "Doing fine, but I'm a bit tired."

Sora looks at them as he turns away the book, his brows furrowing in confusion. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

His mother leaned in, planting a tender kiss on his forehead. "Because we love you, Sora," she whispered, her voice trembling. "More than words can ever express."

His siblings exchanged somber glances, their hearts heavy with the weight of unspoken farewells. They gathered around his bed, each taking turns to share memories of laughter and joy, of fights settled and adventures shared. Sora listened intently, a small smile playing on his lips as he soaked in their stories.

As the afternoon sun cast long shadows across the room, Sora's father took a deep breath, steeling himself for what needed to be said. "Sora," he began, his voice steady despite the ache in his heart, "there's something we need to tell you."

Sora looked at his father, sensing the gravity in his tone. "What is it, Dad?"

His father hesitated, his gaze flickering to his wife for strength. "Today...," he started, his voice catching, "today is a special day. A day for us to be together, to share our love with you."

Sora's eyes widened in understanding, though he didn't fully grasp the depth of what his father was trying to convey. "Is it because I finished the book?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

His mother's tears fell freely now, her hand clutching his tightly. "Yes, sweetheart," she murmured, her voice trembling with emotion. "Because you've reached the end of a beautiful story."

Then his oldest sibling his brother Caleb walk closer to him. "Hey little bro I uh wanna ask you something important."

Sora turn to look at his older brother. "What is it big bro?"

"What your goal after you uh... beat this thing," Caleb ask pausing for a moment.

Sora looks out of the window as he sees a flock of birds before turning back at his brother. "I wanna travel the world like those birds over there," Sora said pointing at the birds.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

The siblings all exchange glances before Caleb spoke. "I see well then I will make sure that I-," Caleb stop turning glancing back. "We will get enough money to travel the world okay bro."

Sora gave a big smile. "Thank you big bro."

Then one by one, Sora’s siblings gathered around him. His older sister, Maya, whispered about their shared dreams for the future. His younger brothers, Evan and Leo, babbled about school and their latest pranks, trying to keep the mood light despite the heaviness in their hearts. His youngest sister, Lily, placed a drawing beside him—a colorful depiction of their family, forever frozen in a moment of joy.

As the day went on Sora family spent time to read to him, play games, sang songs, and shared laughter together. Through it all, Sora remained serene, finding solace in the presence of those he loved most.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting hues of gold and crimson through the hospital window as Sora yawned closed his eyes for the last time. The book slipped from his fingers dropping to the floor as the sound of the machine echo throughout the room.

*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

As the quiet stillness of Sora's final moments, as his family surrounded him with love and memories, an unknown being watched from the shadows. This being, smiles as it was touching to see yet it saw many similar fates this one somewhat touched him and decides to take pity so he takes Sora soul whisking it away and shape it into a ball and putting it on its hand?

As the being morphs Sora soul into something else it decides to hold Sora hand a bit since it's a 12 year old child it probably won't survive it needs some kind of guidance the being though before dropping Sora soul into the world it chose.
