Chapter One:

The Universe of the four souls

A small blonde found her way around the over sized castle of oblivion, once again in search for Xemnas's hidden library. She knew he was up to no good again, and so did the other organisation members, and yet none of them would let her in on it.

When desperate times call for desperate measures, Naminé finds herself eaves dropping on one particular conversation that involved Roxas and his "best friend" Axel (although Naminé thought they were something more)

"Hey! Roxas? Did ya' hear about Marluxia's little theory?" the flame haired Axel spoke with a slight chuckle as if it were utter non-sense.

"no why?" the gravity defying spike head, Roxas cocked his head to one side.

(of course both of them had no idea that Naminé was in the room, even though she was in plain sight)

Axel laughed to himself and it took a few attempts for him to say his sentence with out gasping for breath.

"Marly recons that Mansexs has a hidden library and that's apparently where he keeps his 'Ansem' reports. I tell ya' he's been smelling too many lily's that guy!" Axel and Roxas exchanged glances before clutching there sides and doubling over with there uncontrollable laughter.

Ever since then, Naminé has been searching all over the castle. She was only a few hours into her 3rd day of looking (being a memory witch only took up ten minutes of her whole day since she had already done her bit to save sora, all she did now was draw spoofs of Xemnas and create a "Mansex" club on face book which by the way he was furious about seen as he couldn't figure out which of the members actually set it up), but already she had searched nearly the whole of the castle. The only places she hadn't looked yet were Xemnas's study and Demyx's room (which she would avoid until last minute. You never know what you might find in Demyx's room. Axel went in once and was traumatized for weeks.)

Letting out a heavy sigh, she trudged up the endless stair case in search for his study.

'Finally' Naminé thought to herself as she opened the double doors.

'Why he never locks this door I'll never know' she smiled to herself, closing the door behind her. When she rotated on her heels, she found the biggest book collection in her life.

Now she knew why Axel and Roxas were laughing at Marluxia's theory of "Hidden Library"

She mentally kicked herself.

Suddenly a great crimson light blinded her. She gasped in shock as she narrowed her eyes to find the origin of the strange glow.

There was an Ancient looking book, lying on the smooth marble desk. Naminé stalked closer to it, intrigued.

As quick as it appeared, the light formed into a solid figure. The form of some sort of bird appeared before her. Perched upon the clear marble table.

She gasped in fright. She hadn't seen a bird of such size before. Let alone a heartless that big.

"W-what is this?" she spoke breathlessly. She was too preoccupied with the fact that there was a bird, twice, no three times the size of her.

It called to her with its hawk like screech that seemed to echo. Her screams followed, as she tried to escape but the door seemed to be jammed.

The bird must have felt threatened by her, she thought. That's the only conclusion she came to as it magically disappeared into the book that was now closed on the table.

She froze. Allowing her heart to return to its original pulsing rhythm.

"Could that book possibly be another world? I thought Mans… I mean Xemnas destroyed them?" Naminé spoke to herself with an absent mind, as her feet dragged her to the strange book.

Reaching out slowly, she dusted off the spine and began to read its title.

"The universe of the four Gods? What a strange name?" Naminé sighed, as she sat in the oversized chair that matched the clear marble.

Something was telling her to open it, and at least read the first page.

She argued mentally before she decided what's the worst that can happen? That was a big mistake.

She read aloud.

"there by, the girl of legend opened the door that lead to another world,… this is the story of a girl who made her dreams come true after she came to possess the seven stars of Suzaku and many powers where bestowed upon her. The story itself is a spell. The one who reads it through will be given the powers and granted a wish, just like the girl in the story. Because the story begins and becomes real the moment the first page is turned …How strange. I've never heard of this world before. I'm positive it's not an Ansem report!" she scratched her head in annoyance, before flattening her hair again.

"Sounds like a good story though!" The girl stood up and accidentally left the book open, while she turned to the towering bookcase.

"Ahh haa! Ansem report 1#!" Naminé spotted the tattered and well used spine on the top shelf. Lucky there was a ladder.

She climbed up the mettle steps, and stretched her arm out to grasp the report.

"Got it!" Naminé smiled as she chirped with success, but what she didn't realise, was the crimson light was once again leaking from the book.

It was only when it reached her ankles she realised, but it was too late for her to run for it. She clutched the report to her chest as the choking red smoke engulfed her. She knew he would only get into trouble if she screamed for help. So she just shut her dull and forgotten blue eyes. Nibbled on the inside of her colourless lips and hoped for the best.
