Kingdom Hearts: Legend of Annon

Prologue

My name is Annon. I was born in Radiant Garden. My parents called me by another name, but I can't remember. My story begins when I was 15. My mother always said I was special, before she and dad passed when I was 13, and told me to keep these white gloves on. She said it was from the King, but we rarely left the city, and I knew there wasn't a "King" here. Well I minded what mother said and kept my gloves on. After they passed, I was left to fend for myself. It was terrible, but I got by for two years.
When I was 15, a terrible storm came and I had to hide from the elements in a box next to a house. Haven't seen a storm like this in years. As it was raining, I heard the door to the house open up and a bag. All of a sudden, a bag of trash smacked me in the face. I let out a pained ouch. After a few minutes of just the noise from the storm, I then heard footsteps close to the box. I tried to get farther into the box, but I was already at the back. Then a dark face looked inside and stared at me. "What are you doing in here, boy?" I stared back at him for a minute and said, "I'm trying to stay out of the rain." He let out a sigh. "Get inside" he said. I was confused, but refused by looking down. "Hey, if you'd rather die in this rain, then fine. It's no skin off my bones." He then walked off. I looked up at the blackened sky and it didn't look like it was going to let up anytime soon. I looked back at the door. After some encouragement, I bolted for the door, which was still open. I stood there in the doorway looking at the place. When I looked to the right of me, there was the guy smiling a big smile. "Haha I knew you couldn't resist!" He threw me a towel. "Here, dry yourself off. Don't want you getting the place wet."


As I dried off, he started to fix me some hot cocoa. Without looking away, he asked "So what's your name, kid?" "I don't know, sir." I finished drying off and took off my shoes and set them next to the door. "Don't call me 'sir'. Makes me feel old. Just call me Cid, and what do you mean you don't know?" I went to sit by the fire as he was bringing me the cocoa. "Everyone has a name. Did you forget it?" I grabbed the glass. "Yeah" He seemed confused by my answer so I explained, "I haven't heard my name in two years. If I said it, then it would have brought up memories of my dead parents. Unfortunately I still remember them while forgetting my name. Why I still remember them and not my name confuses me." Cid paused a moment then let out a sigh. "Dang.... Sorry to hear that kid... Well maybe it's time for a new name." I looked up, "Like what?" Cid started pacing vigorously twirling his toothpick in his mouth. Then he said "What about Annon?" I looked at him for a moment. "Look, I know I didn't finish school, but it's pronounced 'aNON', Cid." He laughed a bit. "No no no not that. You’re not seeing it the way I am. Hold on." He left to get a pen and paper. Then he wrote it out. A-N-N-O-N. I looked at him. "What's the other 'N' for?" "Would you rather be 'anonymous'?" I looked back. "Not really..." He then put his hand on my shoulder. "Then it's settled. Your new name is Annon."
