Prologue:
Lament of Lost Kingdoms
Light and Darkness … always fighting for Balance in a never ending cycle since the beginning of time but it wasn't like that at first …. it didn't even exist ….
Someone once told me of The Ancient Precepts written, told that many eons ago that there was the only one world that existed and in which contain an ethereal beauty of variety of combine landscapes home to all. Within the centre of this lay Atrumetlevis Quiesco, often known as the City of Light was the state of eternal peace and harmony brought by Kingdom Hearts. A thousand years had past; King Liromos and Queen Dynica rule over the land and kept the peace but didn't notice the distant between their trusted friend, Vertioro until it was too late. The man believe that they should play god and with this thought in mind he commit the worst crime to the City and to Kingdom Hearts itself.
That night was the beginning of the end as thousands of lights shot across the sky as a burst of dark swirling energy cracked into the moon's surface shattering the very core to let its precious treasure fall from the sky and onto the earth. Vertioro discovered that the treasure was an energy source … contained within pure crystal were the entwining source of Life and Death, a phoenix and dragon.
When he possessed it, he couldn't control the vast pure power it contained not to the extend of what he needed; he divided the crystal in half, bringing forth into the world the two opposing forces; the Light and the Darkness. Seeing this he trap the forces into mortal vessels giving it a soul, a body and a mind but didn't expect that it would be barely a child in this form. Completed he took the Darkness away with him leaving the Light behind, bleeding to death. The Light was found by a girl, Jasmina Luminous of the Regius Court and the Court took care of the girl and raised the Light up as a human being. Light learn everything of their ways until she believe that she was human to the blood and bone with no memories of her origins. During this time the Darkness grew up but under her Master's rule she grew to be ruthless to life and insane to what she felt inside; her energy went to him to which he channeled to create his army. The army was invincible with dark creatures of the unknown and by the time word reach the city it was already too late
The Kingdom was force into battle with the army as the kingdom was slowly overturn by darkness, many flee the city but the King and Queen who stay behind were slay to death with the blade of their friend. While they escape the Light meet the Darkness for the first time and at the moment a connection seem click shattering the insanity for a moment for the Darkness before the Light was drag away. Since then a few years had past in which the dark became the new force in the city growing by the day while those who still believe in the light fought against the dark ones in hope to set their kingdom free. Light not knowing created a powerful weapon into existence, the Keyblade to protect those who believe in the light because she could no longer stand the countless death against the dark.
Years later, a war rage on between the two forces for the Kingdom; a war in which crumbled the remains for forests into vast deserts of the dead that glitter of Keyblades of the brave. Soon they reach the city sanctuary in where the battle is near it's end. The Light realise who she was and what the source to this, ran to set the Darkness free from Vertioro's grip of mental insanity; slowing the root of darkness and his increase in power changing the battlefield. They both selected 5 of those with strong hearts, souls and mind giving them a fraction of their power and with them and themselves became the 7 Chosen. Together with the other keyblade wielders they all defeated Vertioro and his army of darkness regaining the city back but his plan was already had been set as the world had been eroding away by darkness. Realising this they return to their true forms of the Treasure – Heart Crystal of Kingdom Hearts, the Dragon of Dark Moon and the Phoenix of Light Sun; they gather the what left of the light and together they form other worlds into the vast sky that became one with the stars, protected with barriers but the price for this they paid was worst then death; since they were products of now tainted energy immortality trap them as a mortal never to age, never to forget their mistakes, never to gain their true forms again and never to rejoin with Kingdom Hearts once more.
The City was left in ruins still yet it possess the equal powers of light and darkness. It was the only part of the world that didn't become one with the stars. They set ruins back to its original form before sealing the city away and leaving Jasmina with the secret of it location as she and the others that were left move towards the stars to start anew. Both the Light and Dark stood watching each other before they both separated never resting or staying for long as they explore what they created a new. Soon millenniums pass at a blink of an eye; since Kingdom Hearts was unlock and incomplete there had been many Keyblade Wars to gain the rest of it powers but there was nothing for them to do but watch and wait hoping for history to repeat itself to bring the seven keys together once more to lock the doors for eternity.
The Ancient Precepts believe that the time would soon come for the Chosen ones to rise, because this old legend is the truth that stay outside of time; slowly remember as a shatter reality and only they can see in their dreams.
I'm here see to what had been still left unfinished … the Treasure of Kingdom Hearts...
It is a mistake to look too far ahead
Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time
As it would shatter and leave remains of what would have been
The Past - 13 years ago
Radiant Garden
The stars stood brighter then ever as the palace of Radiant Garden stood grander as it gleam, it was to celebrate the peace that had grace this world for centuries. Inside the ballroom stood in all it glory as it been for thousands of years with circle crystals as the source of light along the walls, skylight stretches across the ceiling that shows the velvet sky in it fullness as the walls were decorated with carvings and words in a language long forgotten as the twirling of dancers dance to the music on white marble floor as the King Ansem the Wise sat at his throne watching his children; Kairi, Hikari, Kuraia, Ienzo and Lea dancing around laughing together.
The three girls stop their dancing as their brothers left them and headed towards the food table before crawling under to set their sights on their pets Stitch and Bolt eating their fill from the stolen food from above.
"Aww, kawii they are so cute together" Kairi cooed at them before giggling at Stitch's pulled face.
"Come on Stitch, let go and drag my dad of the throne and have a dance" Hikari clapped excitedly
"That a good idea, it better then to stare at other people having fun" Kuraia pick up Bolt practically dragging the dog away from it plate of it delicious steak.
With both Bolt and Stitch at their side they ambush the throne dragging their father off his seat to dance with the people to laugh and have fun.
Ansem was laughing as he lifted his children into the air, twirling under the starlight with the soft instrumental in the background as it reflected the mood. Hikari was laughing with joy as her scarlet copper hair appeared to match her sister except when the light shine upon it light up like the orange colours of the sun.
Lea meanwhile was watching from the other side of the hall with his friend Isa and brother Ienzo deciding how to cause some firework mischief without getting caught by the palace guards. Music filled the hall with laughter as the moon ever shone brighter then any nights as it bright the night with it soft blue moonlight; everything was perfect, just like a fairytale for this fragile moment in time.
Far away from the happiness within this world, beneath its surface stood a scientist inside the laboratory that was created by Ansem from his adopted son's interests in the scientific field that they research in. He held a smirk as the pages flick onto the computer screen that held the old fool's name of all experiments that was done by him; it would fall down to the King in the end with the reward of losing the trust of the people in kingdom of light.
Beside him, was a curiosity of the dark side; the woman stood there within the darken room watching Xehanort put the pieces in place before glancing at one of the screens. Maleficent watch the machines scanning blue prints of their own design to create creatures of darkness more advance then the pure-bloods or the original prototypes; better and stronger warriors for her army.
What they didn't know that one of the scientist who's job was to get some old research notes for his own note taking hid in the darkness. Silent footsteps walk into the outer area of the laboratory idly fingering the books on the human heart is what that cover wall to wall of the place, the grey hair child look up suddenly in surprise at the wisps of darkness floating, vanishing as it got further into the room.
Ienzo being curious walk deeper into the shut down laboratory only to see lights flickering underneath a door at the end of the corridor. He walk through eerie as it was to the door before it open up silently with the key-code; revealing a sight that should have been left alone
"The army construction is 96% complete and it a miracle that no one notice it. Only a few days and it would be ready" Xehanort type on the keyboard without looking behind him
"Better, soon it will be ours. The entire kingdom and it's secret would soon be in the power of our hands, but what about the family, the spawns of the King. Are you going to kill them" She petted her crow softly as it crooned
"No, that would be pointless, I want Ansem to suffer to know that what happens today would be on his shoulders that he couldn't protect his family from this disaster. Keeping them alive but separated would be the better choice."
"A curse … marvellous indeed you are truly are becoming dark but the apprentices, your allies -"
"They would join me and see it my way after all the knowledge of the heart would be ours once the Royal family is gone"
Ienzo watch in horror, wanting to warn his family he back away only to knock a glass vial of the table, shattering to the ground; horror and fear cross his face as those who he was spying on were facing him with absolute distaste.
"Grab him" the woman's voice crawled over him in it's iciness before the feeling of familiar darkness grab him by the arms and drag him over to them on his knees, above staring with those endless abyss were the creations that he help create along with the others.
"So this is one of the children of Ansem. That won't do at all" the woman held a stern look that made her pale green skin darken with silent fury.
"You use us ... use my connection with Ansem and my own intelligence to help you to create these creatures; I wanted to learn more about the darkness and how the human heart functions ... I wanted you to remember who you were! Not destroy my home, my family; even if Ansem became cautious with his choices at least he did what he believe was right and I was stupid enough to not listen."
"That fool believes that light is the strongest force of all but when it fact it was the darkness that brought us all into being, it in our hearts. It is all of us that turn against him including you! Your the only one naïve enough to believe that we did this with good intentions. It is with darkness shall all the answer be ours, why do you think Kairi isn't with us anymore she will be apart of something bigger"
He look at his friend with shock before it was fuelled to rage "Where did you take her! Tell me you, you ..." he just cursed his way, trying to escape the grips of the creatures but to no avail.
Xehanort didn't even held a shred of pity for his fellow scientist cries because in the end he would join them, to use his intelligence towards the power of
"Since he here, let start this festivity" the witch strode up to the child, menacing she was trying to instil on him for his final moments.
Ienzo just look his friend with tears in his eyes as trembling for what to come "You lie to me! Why?" was all that echo in the room before being subjected to the witch's poisonous gaze before falling into darkness unaware of grip of thorns in his soul.
"Sire! There is an immediate danger to the kingdom" a man ran in wearing the palace guards uniform with panic written across his face "they are consuming the hearts of the people destroying them without hesitation as they follow a woman with clothes in black that her green skin stands out, they have past the outer walls and the citadel and they coming here … to the palace"
"Xehanort what are you doing here?" Ansem held his children behind him protecting them from him and the other 4 apprentices behind him; Braig, Dilan, Even and Aeleus
"I came demonstrate the result of my own experiments" those garnet eyes gleam from his face as he grinned "To demonstrate that these experiments are the key to further advancement and not to be ridiculed by the likes of you!"
"Cid, hurry! Squall and Cloud are bidding us time but it can't last. We got as many people as we could now call for them and let go and leave this world … it's not our home any more." tears fell from the peaceful teen girl's emerald eyes as she cradled a raven hair child that was sobbing within her arms looking out the window as screams pierce the night sky, lighting slash across the sky as thunder rumbled in strength.
"I'm the Mistress of all Evil and you shall suffer more then death itself as this kingdom shall rot to the ground" darkness spread out like dark mists oozing it way into every crevice and cracks, consuming the citadel in it's icy grip as it spread beyond the outer walls."This place now belongs to me!"
"You shall never see the light of day nor any of your loved one" Xehanort laugh
"What have you done to them! What did you do to my children" Ansem cried out, ragged and torn as he was chain to the dungeon wall, to see not all 4 but 5 apprentices standing behind the man, eyes that were cold and grey without a flicker of emotions.
"Wha- Ienzo … IENZO! NO! What did you do to him!" he tried to reach out towards his adopted son, who gave no notice to him but simply stare beyond him but his answer came from the shadows besides him
"I Cursed them all!" the witch whisper slowly in his ear, stroking his cheek with her boney fingers before laughing fill with cruel intents before facing him with her cold, trancing eyes of hers.
Within the darken night, shivering from the tainted darkness that was in the air; a woman ran through barren corridors, hidden behind her white cloak; there was nothing odd about her, nothing but the average except she was passing through already knowing where to go instead of running in panic, determination place in every step as she simple ignore the following trails of darkness like they were beneath her attention.
Her footsteps echo in the unnatural silence as the crystal lamps lit along her path but she had no concern for that nor for the scenery of death and sadness. She came back to this world because she was looking for the light that call her here; the innocent pure light that pull her from her travels. She flip the lever and the elevator up towards the highest level taking in the sight of yellow specks within the darkness surrounding the palace; before heading towards one of the few places that were open to the public.
Dimly lit fragments of light dance through the stain glass windows above from the floating crystals as it shed light onto the walls that held illustrations of stories craved upon the walls that lead to centre of the room in which 3 children were huddle together as soft sobbing echo in the stone room; Lea, Hikari and Kuraia were shivering in the cold as their clothes were torn and bloody by the monsters they tired to escape; Lea who was the oldest watch over them trying to calm them down.
Feeling a prickling sensation at the back of his neck he turn round to see a woman standing at the doors in a long, white travelling cloak that seem to make her glow; he place himself in front of his sisters holding his Frisbee out ready to throw at a moment notice. He didn't want to see any more bloodshed but if he had to he would do so if he and his family wanted to survive; casting a spell the frisbee were set alit in flames giving the stranger a warning
Pulling her hood down as she walk towards them "There no need for violence, I'm here to help."
Below beneath the palace's floor, down into the natural darkness another woman walk with leather black clothing, high heels clicking against the stone floor; walking past the cell-holds to the concentrate amount of emotional grief that led her here. Reaching the cell-hold she simply open it as if it was never lock, the darkness of the room fled as the outside light shone to reveal to her surprise that the person who was chained to the wall, bloody and bruised was no other then Ansem the Wise ... King of Light yet the scent of corrupted darkness reach her nose, she growled with distaste at this outcome.
"Ansem the Wise what are you doing down here?" she already knew but he needs to understand what he had done, learn from his own mistake.
He look up to see a woman, a dangerous one with her glowing purple eyes, dress entirely in black, was scowling at him with distaste "Who are you?"
"No one you need to know but the one who would set you free so answer the question!"
Ansem's dwindling hope flicker back to life as he stare at her but was also cautious, what if this was a trap "My own apprentices turn against me and the kingdom and with that brought disaster to it's peaceful state and lock me up because I interfere and halted their process on the heart "
Sighing to herself she knew he needed time to understand who's fault it is since he only stated the what and not why; the chains undid themselves and she help him up "You still a foolish old man, your majesty. You may learn but you don't understand, you place doubt of evil on them when you start this for the greed of knowledge. Knowledge itself isn't just a blessing it is also a curse! …. Let go! The safest place for you is outside the world's borders because they cursed you as well" the man's eyes widen at the fact
"Let hope I have pity enough to change it for you" she stalk off annoyed at him but fill with utter melancholy at the feeling of tainted darkness that is growing in this world she used to call home.
Ansem follow her out before running off in the opposite direction towards the lab to leave something behind to flaw his apprentices plans. She stood still once the footsteps were heard running into the distance she didn't stop him; it wasn't her place to do so beside the pieces are falling into place at the moment so what is the need to interfere unless...no, frowning she melted into the shadows as if she never existed
The lady in white heal their injures, calming down their fears with her voice as they told her of the events that happen that lead to this disaster and to the very evil that corrupted these walls now and tearing this family and world apart as they speak.
"And that how we got here and it wasn't easy. Got it memorise!" Lea twirled his discs cautiously watching the lady; he had his fare share of strangers but who on the kingdom has pure white hair and silver eyes.
"Lea stop antagonising her or she won't help!" Kuraia yelled at Lea, who just poked his tongue out at her and was about to attack when force field appear between them.
"No fighting. Staying here won't be of any good, we have to get outside away from the darkness, I can open a portal from there" she held the youngest child in her arms, Lea did the same for his sister "Aren't you gonna tell us your name?"
Silver eyes glaze over with sadness at that question but it wasn't she who responded "Your Miss Aurelia; the one with those big key swords. You gave me the pretty silver flute" Hikari smiled remembering, pulling it out as it gleam in the dim light, reflecting scattering light onto the stone walls.
"Yes, I see that. I'm glad you have it" tucking her white hair behind her ear, she smiled at the girl; slightly surprise that she one of the King's children but either way it won't effect her plan. "Let get you guys out of here"
Aurelia walk until she reach the door; placing her palm onto it surface she let the foreign craving glow, lighting up the circular room before opening the door to reveal to the others behind her that it now lead to a corridor down on the first floor.
They file into the entrance hall only to see it bar by the heartless watching them with greed in their beady eyes, in front of them within their claws was Ienzo; tired and ragged his feet dragging on the floor as a limp doll, the child had a glaze look in his eyes. There wasn't even a spark of recognition even though he look at them.
Lea, Kuraia and Hikari gasp before the older 2 siblings trying to reach their brother below; Aurelia snap to attention and pull them back and was about to reprimand them when strands of darkness were drawn towards the centre of the floor alit with green flames, swirling to as it rose to form a humanoid shape of the embodiment of evil; Kuraia and Lea held onto each other while Hikari held onto her with a tight grip.
The door behind her slam shut as the crystals lamp glowed an eerie green menacing appearance; Maleficent standing on the middle of the Entrance Hall watches her grinning "Well, well, well, look what we have here the meddling Keyblade Master. You like what I have done, I decide to acquire this castle as it perfect to what I have plan for"
"Maleficent! What have you done? What is your purpose for all this pain … this destruction" she snapped having no time to play games with this dark fairy, this creature of darkness.
The witch still grin at her before laughing, her crackles were full of malice and glee before her glowing yellow eyes set their sights on her again "This world is the citadel of light, capital world in this universe yet it hides within the shadows of it's own destruction. The power growing within is what I need; the power that will, now and forever be mine. The once radiant city of light and their ridiculous kingdom has fallen to me the Mistress of All Evil! Are you angry? Do you hate me? Do you hate yourself for not knowing of my other plan! To feel so helpless even with the all powerful Keyblade!"
"I can't hate you, nor can I be angry … you are not the worst thing I ever met that was thirsty over the power of Kingdom Hearts but the power of darkness you seek is unreachable; you are too young to know what the Kingdom Hearts truly stands for" laughing softly to herself she knows that this was an insult to Maleficent "but you touch something that was under my protection even if they don't remember … but I do"
"What in the world do you think you're prattling on about? You think I'm young … you think I'm foolish do you! Mark my words Kingdom Hearts belongs to me and I would be the Mistress of all Evil for all eternality!" Maleficent let the fires exploded as darkness surrounded her but the woman just smile not even afraid, giving the children courage for that moment.
"Yes, yes you are" the smile turn into a full on smirk at the witch; it didn't help with the situation but to Aurelia this was victory, no matter how small.
The witch stare with distaste at the fool with the brats; raising her staff her army of darkness rose from the ground created as pure-bloods and artificial alike, already focus on the bright lights of the hearts that were lay before them.
Aurelia look at them in pity and remorse but she couldn't just jump into action not with a child in her arms or the fact of the other two behind her. Mentally sighing she could have easily wipe them out without a keyblade but by doing so would reveal her true powers and that would be disastrous or she could fight and leave them all unprotected and cause the Ienzo to be injure … troublesome indeed.
Just in those thoughts, the wind outside pick up howling it fierce rising in volume before the doors flew open in their might slamming into the walls with a thundering pound letting in the wind and floating debris, as light or whatever was left of it rush into the hall lighting it up for a moment and a figure silhouette before it vanish.
The doors close themselves once more, strangely enough the room seem brighter perhaps or was it just the fact of a woman just stood in place of where the heartless were once guarding the door, holding Ienzo in her arms looking rather displease but her feral grin says otherwise.
Walking out from the shadows, they all saw her dark amethyst eyes that seem of pools of liquid black, long purple hair that was simply plaited down to the neck before flowing out to elbow length but the aura she has was the one of being able to strike fear into the hearts of coldest creatures.
"Oh my, my it's seem I gate crash a party. I swear why can't you ever wait for me Aurelia …" sighing at the sight she rolled her eyes "I don't know why you stay with the mortals, fragile little things they are." her eyes lit up in pure glee once seeing the witch "Oh look you found the source of the darkness; the little fairy that believes that her own world isn't enough for her developing greed or have you been kick out by the pathetic prince who loves his princess. So what do I owe the pleasure of meeting you here"
She acted towards the witch as if it an honour for Maleficent to be in her presence. Anger fill the dark fairy by the lady's attitude; she pointed her staff towards the stranger "You Dare insult me!"
All the heartless that were by Maleficent's side that were ready to attack vanish at the instant when realising who their mistress wanted to attack; they reappeared to be only crawling and bowing at the other woman's feet, purring as the lady pet them fondly, pure blood and artificial alike; making Maleficent a fool, just by standing dumbstruck. It cause fear to shiver down her spine at how easy the heartless grovelled at the lady without doing a single thing.
"Yes I Dare! You are placing your claws onto the treasures that I protect. I had ignore your ruling for far too long, ... please at your progress but this; spilling onto another world. You pass the line fiend." eyes narrow as they glare at the witch, the cause of this world's demise and what she done to her dear friend Terra.
Aurelia look down at the scene; rolled her eyes and sighed. Of course the very person who decided to keep their true power a secret is going to reveal it; can't she ever behave. At least there no heartless to fight, thank Alaula for being here right now. All three children were curious about the new arrival and look over the edge.
"Aurelia … Lumata aller ara! Ŝpari eos je vais lená cura di aquesta. Drífa! " the woman said below
A/N:"Aurelia …. Light go now! Save them I'll take care of this. Hurry!"
"Alaula ..." she whisper smiling; everything that happen after that was a complete blur to the young ones and the witch herself. Maleficent now stood facing an empty space to where the keyblade master and the brats used to be and looking back the lady no longer held the boy in her arms but stood there with that feral grin watching her, it caught her by surprise and by anger that somehow they got away.
"You shall not harm them … not over my dead body! It payback for what you've done."
Ansem stood at the Castle Gates for once unsure of what to do next, beyond the castle steps were from miles around were twisted enchanted thorns that ooze essences of darkness; it foster a hostile environment for those who have hearts, the oasis of this new land was the palace but even with that it was falling apart. The once brilliant citadel that was the beauty of this universe is now destroy in merely hours, drowning in the darkness that was brought by Maleficent and by his apprentices as well. At least before anything got worse he could still glimpse the beauty of the stars above but even then it was slowly being smother by the smokes of fire lit buildings.
He heard the cries of the innocents and the screams of horror that rang out beneath the thorns and for this moment he realises that it was apart of his doing that he brought not only upon his loved ones but to others as a well in which consume him by his guilt. There will be no sleep tonight not for any one of them.
Looking through innocent eyes
beyond the straight truth
a world that cries in pain
as reality shatters their hearts
in smouldering darkness
Pure anguish race through his veins at the images of his terrified children from when it started how he could let fade form his mind or to the fact that his own apprentices did this along with that witch. Even the smoke couldn't hide the bright reds lights of Hearts that became stars casting an eerie red glow before vanishing, all was silent.
Shattered innocents of this darken day
Darkness pours eerie silence to those who Hear
But to those who can See
Follow the falling star
to clutch your last shinning hope
A flicker of white rush into the corner of his eyes; turning he saw a woman running past him with her cloak trailing, the darkness retreating not touching her as on her way, pushing forward a couple of kids towards the rising falls. Without a second though he ran, hoping he could help her protect her family from this disaster even if it the last thing he can do, to die not in vain but to accomplish this task no matter how simple.
Let the sun light your way
vanishing the fears of night
down to the lands below
above the morning star
The woman's white cloak stop it trailing as she turn round, for she herself was glowing giving light to where she stood but what was cradle within her arms gave him a sense of relief in this chaos and a spark of hope; Ienzo was in her arms, worse for wear but still alive. Movement behind the cloak reveal three familiar faces that he would never see again, it wipe his fears of them being in the clutches of Maleficent.
Follow the falling star
as your guide towards the light
to all dreams and hopes await
Ansem ran towards her wanting to take his children within his arms and hold them like no tomorrow and sooth their worries. He did just that whispering sweet nothing to comfort them all within his embrace, glad that nothing drastic happen to them other then the fact of their world is being torn to pieces.
Looking up he took in the features of the woman that stood still watching the scene, untouched by the darkness and seem to project the strong aura of hope even though it been a decade since he saw her; funny thing was she still look as she did then as she is now.
"Aurelia..."
"Your majesty, I'm glad your alright but this is farewell for now"
"Farewell?"
These dreams are slipping away, you're losing hope
You're falling into darken madness trying to get to them
Nobody sees that rage is what left of this unlit heart
It is nothing compare to the darkness of the stars
even then you are always love
Let the light shine and guide you home
"This incident was brought by your hands in which your family had pay the price for it and the rest of the kingdom as well and so will you Ansem; sometime in the future you would meet up with them again and you would recognise them as your own no matter the circumstances. I would make sure of it. It the least I can do … just keep your light strong and it will guide you home"
Ansem watching them vanish made the last of his hope flicker out consuming by his own rage and fury as pain of family being taken away from him.
"I Cursed them all! ...you shall suffer more then death itself as this kingdom shall rot to the ground."
Losing everything and the witch's voice echo in his mind with her laughter with that came forth a new feeling in his heart …. vengeance.
The Present
Unknown
The lights flicker from the lamps as pacing wore the marble floor of the Hall of Balance. In the darken hall she stood out as a brightly lit star but it didn't matter as she was straining her own abilities to keep the balance in the universe at the moment because her sister just had to take a trip to the Realm of Light. The only thing here other then herself was a blade of pure untainted energy, the blade that would almost equal the power of Kingdom Hearts; looking down she notice her hands ripple distorting her features before retaining to back to normal.
That has been happening for a while now and it the reason why she was left here in this blasted place of haunting memories.
"I finally found them and they're together in this dimension. We have a chance; a chance to change this cycle and put everything as it was before" excitement echoed from this through the hall as a shadows form together to shape a women had held an aura of knowledge and timeless wisdom within the black abysses of her eyes as she rush, hugging and held onto her sister with pure joy.
"Aren't you happy Luziari …." the one mention wince and look away.
"Atranox that wonderful but what will happen to them … will it be the same like the Seven Princesses of Hearts and the false Kingdom Hearts or will it be worse. In my heart I can't bear to simply pass our duties to them i-"
"TEISHI!"
A/N: "STOP!"
A resounding slap was all that echo; imprint of her sister's palm that stung on her face while Atranox panting with frustrated anger at Luziari's words; the very shadows that form Atranox grew surrounded the Luziari and for once in her life she was fill with fear as she was almost consume with it.
"You are not one of them! You are not a mortal! Or has being one made you forget to why we're still alive yet incomplete. We don't have a freaking choice in this matter …. Aurelia" distaste was a heard in the name before light shone out dispersing the darkness, almost blinding to Atranox's eyes.
"Or have you forgotten Alaula that what it meant to being mortal. Emotions ... it brought us great joy and yet also sadness; it the one thing that I can't fully understand yet it like a double bladed sword but I treasure it all the same." sighing to herself she ask this to her companion quietly "Do you remember the night when Kingdom Hearts shone so bright that nothing can harm it. When million of stars in the stars in the sky were just balls of pure energy and the treasure was just simply energy. Would you turn back time to go back to that peaceful time to relive that once more. Would you do the entire thing again knowing what you know now, knowing what you knew then?"
Luziari just turn away from her sister and the blade; looking out the window to stare into the endless stars that litter the Sea of Worlds. She didn't wanted this fate to pass onto them to see them suffer, they are so young and innocent but a small part of her wants all this to end for the wars to stop. Atranox place a comforting hand on her shoulder as they stood in silence; if she had known then what she knew now, would she have let it happen again? Would she change it for her own benefit. Time is just an illusion and she should know but in face of this she had no response to Luziari's question.
"Your right; but remember this we cannot hold the balance for eternality and with recents events we been losing the connection … we won't be able to sustain it any longer." Atranox took the floating blade in her hand which began to flow of the powers of darkness, Luziari in turn did the same which flowed with the powers of light which created a balance to the forces to which they represent.
"I know, even though we live for eons guarding the universe with cosmic powers beyond the borders of powerful … I come to realise that this is the first time that they all existed together and now I fear for Kingdom Hearts itself and for all that going to come. For once I'm afraid of the future and of what to come."
