Darkness. That is where it always begins. Everything begins in darkness, it is the nature of life. It is where all things begin and end.but it is what one does when they are gifted with that brief flicker of light, we call life that truly matters in the end.
"Kraken! Hurry up!" A boy called, his foot tapping the ground lightly in an impatient manner, arms crossed over his chest. Kraken, former assassin to the Dark Lord Sora, king of the Heartless, was sitting by himself on a log next to the now extinguished campfire. His red eyes fixed on his obsidian black hands. "Kraken! Don't make me come over there and drag you off that log! We're leaving! And about time too.if I had to spend one more minute on this god forsa-" "Shut up Ry, you loudmouth!" A girl's voice cried at the boy, sounding both angry and exasperated. "I wouldn't have to keep talking if that lazy lump over there would get a move on, Jessica! I swear, I don't know why we keep him around sometimes." The boy muttered, his voice trailing off as he walked towards the gummi ships which were finally repaired. "Cause Storm would murder us all if we left him behind." The girl said, speaking in a very matter of fact tone as she followed him.
The Heartless smirked slightly as he listened to the two walk off. He had joined them only a few weeks earlier, after having escaped from Sora's castle at the end of the world with Storm and Neko. Neko was, as the name suggested, a cat, but not a normal cat. Neko had been subject to many horrible scientific experiments on his home world, and now had the ability to talk. Something he reminded them of every day.
"LOUDMOUTH-SAMA!" Came a loud cry in the distance. Kraken turned slightly, his red eyes looking over at the ships, and the others Kraken had been travelling with. He saw the small orange cat running around the group, his usual hyper grin spread across his face. The cat had a nickname for all of them, Ry was the one he called 'Loudmouth-sama', a most fitting nickname if Kraken ever heard one. Kraken had grown attached to the small cat over time, though he still teased the cat quite often. Neko was one of the few reasons Kraken was here.but he was not the most important one.
No. The real reason Kraken was here, was Storm. Storm was an interesting creature, she was half human, and half pikachu. She was Jessica's older sister, and she had served under Sora as a guard at his castle, while Jessica, like Kraken, had been an assassin. Only a few weeks earlier, Kraken had been ordered by his master to follow Jessica to Traverse Town, where she was to kill Riku. Sora's old friend. He followed her to Traverse Town, where he had planned to execute her and return home and serve his master once more.
Things never go as one plans them to.
Jessica failed to eliminate her target on Traverse Town, and chased him to various worlds, until they arrived at the desert world of Agrabah. It was there that Kraken's life changed. On the wind swept dunes, the Heartless assassin tracked his prey, until he arrived at their ships crash site.and where he first met Storm. The two battled across the dunes, while Jessica and the others escaped. Kraken was defeated and driven off.but he soon took his revenge, and captured Storm, intending to return to the End of the World, and his master with this prize.
Once more, fate did not smile upon his dark designs.
The assassin and his captive, along with the stow away Neko, crashed upon several worlds, including Wonderland and the Pride Lands. Eventually the two arrived at his master's castle, and he presented her to his master. Suffice to say, Sora was quite pleased to have the opportunity of dealing with a traitor from his kingdom. Kraken watched as she was subjected to torture after torture, and many other cruel and perverted acts his master committed against her.and that was when things changed. The cold-blooded assassin, a feared creature of darkness.had feelings for this 'traitor'. He found that he could not bare watching her subjected to these cruel acts any longer.he had to help her escape that place of unending darkness and hate. And for once in his existence he did something right.and they escaped.
"Kraken?" A soft voice called from behind him. The Heartless felt the world slow down, like it always did when she spoke. He smiled, and turned, seeing the smiling face of the girl whom he had easily thrown away all that he had ever known to save her life. "It's time to go, we don't want the others to leave us behind, and Ry seems like he's about to throw another fit.then again he'd just have one later anyway..."
*That's true...* The Heartless chuckled, slowly standing up, his crimson cape flowing around him softly. Storm walked over to him, and smiled up slightly, looking into his eyes. Kraken smiled back, and slowly took her hand in his as the two walked over to the ships.
Yes. He had been born in darkness...he had lived in darkness, but now...he was in the light. Storm was his light. And if he had to, he would gladly give up a thousand years of darkness, just to spend one more minute in that light...
