I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own

The people crowded around inside of the limited space. It was at maximum capacity, as it always was. It was Thursday night, and everyone who was anyone was at our weekly concert. Only those in the know were there, so only devoted fans packed the underground secret stage every week.

I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listen as the crowd would sing

Now the old king is dead, long live the king

One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

Rapture erupted from the crowd. Everyone was so close to each other. Space was so limited that there was literally no room to stand. Bodies swayed and raved in unison at our rock rendition of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida".

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

We gave one final cord that rang over the crowd's endless cheers. Relaxing my hold on the mike, I look out into the darkness, only lighted by lighters, glow sticks or cell phones. As I thought, it really is a rush to perform down here. It has a club feel to it that makes you feel a real close connection with your fans.

"True Light's Eclipse will be waiting for the next obscuration," I said with a loud flourish and wink. The crowd went wild again, calling out to the band. I pulled my hood up and walked off to the back stage, my crew following close behind.

"Wicked show tonight guys," Yuffie said happily. She had her hands in a 'rock on' position.

"Great job on the guitar solo, Sor," Riku complimented to my ditzy brother.

"Nah, it was nothing. I bet Rox would have done a much better job," Sora chirped. He was so silly.

"Trust me, you put much more enthusiasm into that than I ever could have. You did good, bro," I said, ruffling his hair.

"Ditto, bro!" He returned the gesture.

"Oh barf. You guys make me sick," Yuffie joked.

"Yeah, you're a bit too friendly if you ask me," Riku muffled.

"We're brothers. What did you expect?" Sora and I exclaimed simultaneously.

Yuffie and Riku stared at them. "Twins, at that," she commented to Riku. He just huffed. I took my brother's hand in mine and Sora immediately started swinging it back and forth. I turned back to smirk at Riku who glared at me. Ha! It was so fun to mess with him. Yuffie was cackling causing Riku to just sigh and continue on our way. I knew he wasn't seriously mad at me. We were all really good friends, which is why we decided to create "True Light's Eclipse". We made our way to a back abandoned office that we decked out into an awesome chill spot. After putting my guitar on its stand I looked at my friends. They were lounging around and chattering away. I laughed.

" 'so funny?" Yuffie asked.

"You, goofball." We then went into our usual routine of hours of friendly bickering and bantering.
