A hooded figure, melting through the rain…

'Another dream about him…'

The shadows sprung from the ground, their predator eyes eyeing him hungrily…

'The Heartless?'

He summoned his blades, whirring them in a chaotic frenzy, slicing the shadows into balls of dark smoke…

'Number 13. Roxas. The Keyblades' Chosen One.'

Another boy, on top of the skyscraper, with flowing silver hair…

'I can only say that Riku lost that fight…'

'Nobodies do not really exist at all…'

I cannot feel…

So why am I so sad?

Sweating, Sora slowly sat up, his bedcovers creasing as he did so. The spiky haired youth looked around his room, at the clock that never worked, at the hand-made, orange pouch he had discovered in Twilight Town, at the blue, shimmering crystal next to it…

Ah. The painful dreams…no. Not dreams. Memories. A shattered memory of such a lonely little boy…

Why was Roxas so sad? Hadn't reconnecting with Sora, being absorbed into his originals body, been what he wanted?

Why was able to feel at all? Weren't Nobodies meant to have no emotion? They only pretend to?

Or pretend to pretend to?

So many memories…

Wasn't the battle meant to have ended?

Yes, I know it's short. But it is a prologue. An introduction. The next chapter will be longer. Reviews!
