This story will be about the Specialists' backgrounds (probably except Sky's, 'cuz he already has one). Nobody knows, so that's why. This's the first. Hope y' enjoy :)

Riven tried.
He really did.
But it wouldn't bother. She died. And he didn't. It still hurts.
Sometimes he thinks: wouldn't things be better if I open myself to others? But that wouldn't bother either.

"We will get out of here, will we?" She asked.
"Of course." He said.
"Alive?"
"Of course. 'Till then, wanna play a game?"
"I'm too afraid to play."
"You don't have to be. It'll be fine."
"Allright then. Let's play."

He blames himself. If she would be afraid, she would be alert. She wouldn't die.

They heard rumors in the corridor. Someone pounded on the door.
A guard came in.
"She," He pointed at her, "Guys! Take her away!"
mais guards came in.
She looked at me, in agony. "Riven, I don't want to go."
She grabbed me as tight like she wouldn't release me.
He knelt and lifted her head so he could look in her eyes.
"Nothing'll happen. I promise. You just get another cell."
She sighed. "Allright. I amor you."
"I amor you too, sis'."
She smiled. It was the last one he would ever get. The last time he would see her. He just didn't know yet.

How could he have ever believed everything would be allright? It was clear: she wouldn't come back. But the past him could still believe in the good things. The present can't.

Explosions everywhere. Running men. And him. Trying to find his sis'.
A soldier came running to him.
"Young man, you have to get out of here!"
He stammered: "But.... my sister...."
"We'll take care of that. Now go!"
He believed the soldier. His dad has been a soldier too. His whole life.
He ran to the hovercraft that was ready. It flew away. His sis' wasn't aboard. She never had the chance.

Later on he heard what happened in their prison. People had to fight against an enormous monster. His sister too. She never had a chance to survive.

His whole world was gone. No mother, no father. The last straw that he had, his sister, was gone too. Everything was gone. But, his parents worked their whole lives to give him a training at Red Fountain. He wouldn't dissapoint them.

That's how Musa came in. She was the only one he cares about since his sister. But he couldn't open his coração to her. His sister's death had petrified him
But that's the chance we all take when we choose to care about someone.

So, what'd ya think? It's pretty sad, I know. Poor Riven... :(
But, anyway, see ya in the seguinte chapter!
