PIT OF DARKNESS

Prologue: Engulfed In Despair

It was all his fault.

He had turned away for one second and let her defenseless. And in the moment she had perished. His blue eyes stared up at the clouded sky as tears ran down his cheeks. Slowly the sky darkened to a murderous gray as lightening flashed. He was cursed. Everyone that he cared about had left him in some way or another. He was all alone again.

Thunder rumbled above angrily as another streak of lightning cut through the sky, opening it up to let the onslaught of rain pour down upon his form. Silently he wished for lightning to strike him down. Prayed to whatever god existed that they would so mercy and put him down. He didn't want to live. He wanted to be wherever Kairi was. Wanted to hold her in his arms while she slept. Wanted to look into those beautiful sapphire eyes. Wanted to tease her about the hints of red in her otherwise chestnut brown hair.

But no. He could never do so again. The gods were not that kind... or forgiving. Why would they let him be with her to rest in peace? Hmm? He had let her die.

He slammed his fists onto the muddy ground and roared out his sorrow. He just wanted to die.

"END IT!" He screamed at the heavens. "Please! I can't take this anymore."

Still nothing happened. He was forsaken.

With a sigh he leaned back against the cliff face in indifference.

'Fine...Be that way. I don't care anymore.' He thought angrily.

Slowly he felt all his strength and emotions slip away from him. Felt a cold but welcoming darkness gather around his heart. And for the first time in his life Sora didn't resist. He opened his heart and mind and welcomed the invading darkness as he closed his eyes...

For the last time.
