I walked up the stairs, one foot after the other, my mind set on the task at hand. I continued upward, my heart racing as I slowly ascended the spiral of stairs. As I reached the top I asked myself, 'Why am I doing this? I thought he was my friend....' A gentle reminder rose from my thoughts as I contiued forward. 'If he was really your friend, why did he leave you there, all alone, surrounded by darkness? I thought he was your friend.'
Was. That would be the reason. I fought him throughout his journey, causing him to lose footing in what he belived in. What did he belive? In saving kairi from... the darkness. I was darkness. Or at least I was a part of the darkness. I chose to cradle the power within my heart and let it consume me, confuse me. But was I really confused? Or was it my destiny?
I continued my journey to the outside stairs and pressed the crystal. I was suddenly teleported into an elevator and taken up to the next floor. What did I belive in? I wanted to save Kairi as well... yes, that was my objective. To save kairi from the darkness. But I controlled the darkness. I had the power to save her, but why didn't I? I didn't want to just leave her there, lying like a ragdoll. I loved her. But... did she love me?
I walked towards the large doors and turned around. I saw him coming in the elevator. He and his 'new buddies' as I like to call them. He wouldn't replace me, would he? His best friend since we were little, would he really chose them over me? But we were fighting for opposite powers. He for light, and I for darkness. He had made his desicion in the begining, and so did I. Was it our destiny to fight for our fates?
I continued through the doors to a hallway and through a portal. I appeared in a large room with a giant glowing keyhole. I looked around and watched as all of the princesses of heart slept soundly in thier crystal cases. Jasmine, Alice, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Snow White... and Kairi. She was the key of the keyhole. Atleast her heart was. But she didn't have a heart, not for me, not for Sora, not for her. It was taken from her. I didn't know where it went, but I didn't care. This was my mission, I thought. This is the reason why I am here. Or is it? I cared for her, but she was the object I had to sacrifice. Didn't I care? Didn't I want to care?
"RIKU!!!" The voice made me spin around to see him. Sora... My friend, my enemy, my rival... So you have finally arrived.
