Prologue: Recovery
The chasm was becoming blurry. Vaguely, he made out two figures walking away from the dark. The Keyblade Master and the Dark Keyblader. His eyesight grew fainter and fainter with each passing breath.
It was cold.
He closed his eyes and visualized Kingdom Hearts. The reason everything happened, the cause of his death…
Death…
Warmth spilled on his left chest. Too weak to look or touch, he lay there, waiting for the darkness to take him. Anything was better than the cold he felt at that moment. Better than the emptiness. In the distance he heard something.
Someone…
Open.
'I can't…'
You can.
'I can't…please…just leave me be…'
You can. I have never left you, and I never will, my beloved apprentice.
'…Ansem…?'
I'm here. Now, open.
'My eyes…?'
No. Your Heart
A/N: So...whatcha think? Be gentle. This is the first thing I got to go public...
