Most mornings in Daybreak Town were the same. On a typical morning, when the sun would rise to greet the pastel streets and spread its warm, inviting light to the citizens who lived there--all was quiet and peaceful. This morning, however, wasn't exactly a typical one; it was a Monday. And Mondays mornings, in Daybreak Town, weren't at all like most days of the week. The calm serenity of a peaceful sunrise, leaves blowing in the breeze, and birds whistling a morning tune was drowned out by the loud cheering of many voices. Banners hung in the streets and confetti fluttered through the air. All of this commotion was for one reason: The Ranking Parade.
Ava, along with the other Foretellers, was one of the founders of The Ranking Parade. It was on this day that the Foretellers would tally up the amount of lux (light) that all of the keyblade wielders had collected from a hard week of doing missions and would announce the top five wielders who had collected the most lux for the entire week previous. These five were hailed as heroes, given great rewards, and paraded around town in celebration. But not only the top five wielders earned rewards; Everyone, so long as they had done some work, were rewarded for their efforts with munny and other prizes. Even the Unions as a whole were rewarded during The Ranking Parade. The Unions would be ranked from first place down to fifth place depending on which Union was the hardest working. The whole celebration in general was just a friendly competition.
A prideful smile crossed Ava's lips as she thought about the Union rankings. For weeks now, her Union Vulpes, had been number one. She enjoyed being on top of the others, subtly gloating about it at times, but honestly wasn't happy with the way the other Foretellers treated her sometimes. She could hear their jealous words behind her back, mocking her and scoffing at her Union. Wasn't this whole thing supposed to be friendly competition?
To make matters worse, rumors had even begun to surface that Ava and her Union were cheating. She absolutely hated that idea! It wasn't true! She was certain that either the other Foretellers or their Unions were making up these lies because they were jealous. While several of the Foretellers focused on their strength to help improve their Unions, Ava was more in-tuned with her wit. She came up with methods to help improve her faction that had nothing to do at all with cheating.
As Ava thought these things, she watched the celebration from the balcony of Daybreak Castle--home of the Foretellers--with her fellow Foretellers by her side, just as it was about to begin. Their Chirithy were below, beginning to announce the top five wielders of the previous week...

Inivi - Daybreak Town Castle - Foretellers
She gritted her teeth so loudly that the individuals standing next to her could probably hear. With every name that was announced she grew more and more frustrated until a vein popped on her forehead--not visible beneath the mask she always wore. "As usual, they're all from Vulpes," Inivi hissed under her breath. It just wasn't fair. Every week the Vulpes Union basked in glory while her own Union, Anguis, remained overshadowed in third place. And week after week Inivi buried her feelings deep down, doing her best to keep her frustrations hidden.
Inivi hid her feelings because she knew what the other Foretellers would say, and more importantly what her master, The Master of Masters, would say. Envy was a treacherous emotion that would only invite in the darkness. She needed to learn how to contain it, burry it, and smother it before its flames would rage out of control inside her. She was one of the Foretellers, after all. She needed to set an example for her Union.
But still, how could she set an example for her Union when they could never climb higher than a measly third place on in the rankings?
"No, it won't always be that way," she told herself. "I'm just being silly. This will be different this time."
Inivi held her breath and clenched her fists waiting for the big moment where the Union rankings would be announced...
"This weeks Union Ranking is..."

"This weeks Union Ranking is..."
Inivi hissed in anger. So much for trying to be positive! Yet again her Union was placed back in the shadows thanks to Vulpes. How could this be!? There had to have been a reason! Maybe... the rumors were true? Could it have been that Ava was cheating to make her Union come out on top every week? Yes, that must've been it! Ava always spent late nights doing secretive things behind the other Unions backs. Inivi had seen Ava sneaking out of the castle with her own eyes!
But how would she make the others believe her? Nothing was going to change unless someone did something about it. Inivi was rather quiet and didn't like speaking in front of others, but if she was driven enough the Foreteller knew she could do it. Now was the time. She couldn't wait any longer for this to happen...
Without saying a single word to the other Foretellers, Inivi suddenly leapt from the balcony where she stood and gracefully floated down to the ground where the celebration was happening.
"Stop the celebration!" she demanded, her voice strong and full of fury. "I have something very important to say! The rankings board does not hold true information. One of our Union leaders has been cheating!"

Sleepy - Daybreak Town Plaza - Inivi/Others
Sleepy - Daybreak Town Plaza - Inivi/Others
Mondays were literally the worst days ever in the history of humanity. Waking up early after a nice, relaxing weekend of sleeping in and napping throughout the day was something Sleepy couldn't stand in the least. How did normal people do it? Not to mention, how did people not only wake up, but also manage to come to The Ranking Parade full of enthusiasm. So many people were standing around Sleepy, cheering with an amount of energy that just seemed inhuman.
Up and down the busy streets she could just barely see these events under her droopy eyelids. Keyblade wielders were chatting and laughing. She could also see some of them sparring with one another, causing her to flinch every time their blades clashed together. It wasn't exactly one of the most inviting noises she wanted to hear so early.
Sleepy could also hear the sound of moogle vendors talking to their customers as they sold their wares. Even in a drowsy state of mind she could still smell the food some of them were cooking. Their coffee, in particular, smelled especially pleasant. It was a shame such a drink caused her to get jittery otherwise she would've drank it more often. At least it would've helped her to stay awake a bit better.
For the next several minutes, as the parade began, Sleepy found herself drifting in and out of a nap. She didn't have any friends or companions to help keep her awake, and her own Chirithy was too focused on the parade to say much of anything. Oh, how she wished it wasn't required for her to attend this event! Otherwise, she would've stayed at home and slept in...
As time danced forward, however, Sleepy eventually heard the commotion of one event in particular that rose her from her drowsy stance. One of the Foretellers, from the castle above, leapt to the ground and confronted the Vulpes Union for cheating. Sleepy twitched and immediately pulled the hood she wore down over her face before taking a few awkward steps back. In truth, she was part of the Vulpes Union and honestly she really didn't like drama one bit. She most certainly didn't want to be involved in this!
She quickly turned and rushed out of the crowd, just as their voices became unbearably loud. Everyone was beginning to argue so loudly that it was impossible to hear what the foreteller was saying any longer. Once Sleepy was certain the crowd wasn't paying any attention to her, she held up her starlight keyblade and opened one of the lanes between. She was getting out of here until the conflict was over!
With the portal open, Sleepy rushed inside. Unbeknownst to her, however, when she went into the portal something decided to make its way out...

A large hoard of emblem heartless soldiers crawled out of the portal and toward the crowd of bickering keyblade wielders. With any luck, maybe at least one of the wielders would turn their back to notice the more pressing matter that they needed to deal with...
