I look around me as I slowly drift through a broken world. I feel an unknown feeling wash over me as I walk through this shadow world. A desolate vision of what once was. A moment of peace frozen in time that will forever haunt me. Fading in and out of view around me are Shades, souls doomed to live this moment over and over for eternity. Then a sound breaks through the silence as I view my angel running towards me, a picture of perfection. I watch as his face contorts into something that never should replace his clumsy smile. Fear. A face of pure and utter fear.
Again I hear that awful sound. A sound that brings tears to the eyes, well not my eyes. Never have I cried. Not when my parents died, not when my world was destroyed, and not when I realized that I was responsible for its destruction. Never. That sound resonates through the darkness one more time and my eyes widen. Finally I realize that I'm the one making that sound. That sound, the one sound that can only be made by someone whose spirit and heart are completely broken.
I fall to my knees as once again I make that sound. Once again I sob. Then an unknown feeling washes over me as I repeatedly sob. For the first time in my life I truly cry. Not because of the death of my world. Not for the passing of all the things I've ever known. No. This is for my lost angel. His face appearing before me once again contorted into that horrid vision of fear. It was then that the full realization hit me. He was gone. Forever. Never again would he greet me with his smiling face. Never again would he run to me with of glint of mischief in his eyes for the new prank he has just concocted. And never would we ever share a paopu fruit together again. Never.
I cried, oh how I cried. Only for my lost angel. Only for you. My Sora.

Darkness. All around me. I am adrift in the darkness. The shattered hopes of a million worlds surround me. Every time I open my eyes darkness is all I see. Do I even open my eyes or am I forever living this shadow life through images in my head? Ha! Living, that is a joke. I'm living only in the medical sense of the word. If not alive then what am I? I am the living dead. I breathe and function and physically I am perfect. Forever youthful no matter how long I've been in this place. How long has it been here? Five years? Ten? It doesn't matter really. To me time is frozen. I live forever in a moment of pain and desolate destruction. There is no life here. Only darkness. Pure and total darkness. Then as I stay there dead with despair I watch as a light grows. I sigh as I know what is to come. The torture of my existence, through the darkness emerges a light. What is to become a vision of my angel. My vision into a world of which I once belonged. As I stay there unable to escape these torturous sights I break.
Not like I already have. I could feel a difference now. I could feel all my worldly connections drifting away. I wonder if I am finally dyeing and I despair as I still look into a vision of my angel living in another world. Was it then? Yes, that was when I drifted and disappeared. When I, Riku became the darkness around me. But I knew it wasn't over. I knew that the torture would never truly end. I had already learned that I, or at least my shadow of what I once was, was and forever would be here in this torturous shadow place. It was then that there was no doubt that the pain and suffering of Riku was now and forever would be
ETERNAL
I am fading…fading away. Forever forgotten and forever forsaken from the light. No longer do I see my angel though my torture has not come to an end. No for it has gotten worse and worse after time. Now instead of seeing my Sora happy as he was before I see something that truly hurts me beyond repair. He is suffering. He is in pain. Oh my angel why do you cry? Such emotions should never scar your face. Oh how I wish to help you through your time of darkness, but I am no longer here. I am fading…..fading….away…forever.
I see you as you make your deal with darkness. I see you as you give up your spark of life. I see you as you become the same as me. I see you as you become a creature of the night no longer of light. I see you as finally the darkness fades and all I see is the light. And I see you as the voice comes to me.
((DO YOU WISH TO SEE HIM?))
Yes! Oh god yes! Ill do anything!
((GOOD. WE SHALL RELEASE YOU FROM YOUR CAGE BUT KNOW THIS. NEVER SHALL YOU TRULY BE GONE FROM THE DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT.))
Fine! Just let me go to him!
((YOU ARE REALEASED))
And it all went light as I felt myself falling towards what I hoped was your arms.
