Memories are to be kept Not to be forgotten If so this happens A little is always left behind To help remember the forgotten Memories cannot be fully erased Only if they choose to They will forget Memories are very precious Even more than gold, or jewels Don't be afraid If you have no courage If you don't face fear If you act cowardly You will never remember again

Riku read these words to himself. He closed his eyes and tried to remember these words. 'don't be afraid.

if you have no courage. .if you act to cowardly.

you will.you will...' Riku opened his eyes and repeated the last sentence. "You will never remember again".

This sent a chill down Riku's spine.

He wanted to find Sora, he wanted to find Kairi, he wanted to go home!

Riku took a seat on the cool sands on the edge of the endless black ocean. He had fallen into darkness. He was alone. He had no-one there to keep him company. Only the sound of the rippling waves. He leaned back into the cooling sand.

This was his fate.

To wait until his destiny arrived.

"Riku!" called a dark deep voice in the wind.

Riku sat up.

he looked around.

"Riku!" it called again.

"Yes?!" he called.

"dear sweet boy! You're time has come" it said. "My destiny?!" he asked.

"you will meet others, and make new friends" the voice said.

"New friends?!" he questioned. "Yes, you will travel new worlds like you wanted to" the voice said. "I don't want new friends! I want Sora and Kairi!" he shouted clenching his fists. "They no longer exist!" the voice said.

Riku looked horror strickened.

"No longer exist you do" the voice said.

"what do you mean?" Riku asked.

"I mean they do exist" the voice said.

"But?!" Riku questioned.

"But you don't meaning the have forgotten you" the voice explained. " Forgotten me?! But how! Why!?" Riku asked angrily.

"They choose to forget, that's why you have a new destiny started" the voice said.

Riku collapsed at the sand.

his eyes blackened with anger.

he looked like a mindless zombie for awhile.

Riku then stood up.

"I accept my new destiny!" Riku called out to the sea.

The sound of the waves became louder, thunder was heard.

"Good boy sweet Riku!" the voice called.

Riku stood at the waters edge.

the water gathered into a huge wave.

thunder struck in every direction of the sky.

"You have accepted your destiny!" the voice called.

Riku got a feeling he started to regret agreeing.

the huge wave started moving towards him.

riku turned to run.

but the water hit him.

He was drowning. He couldn't breathe He was dying He was suffocating He needed air Fresh sweet air

Riku blacked out.....
