Chapter 2 ~ HEARTS DIVIDE~ Answers

Rolux patted me on the back, signaling that its time for me to get up. I could see the bliss white castle up ahead. I thought to my self..

(Theres an evergrowing presence of light here. It feels... pretty good actually. So, the king lives here?)

We landed a smooth landing, and I hopped off. Two broomsticks starting running...or- waddling towards us. I leaned and whispered,

'What... what the heck are those?'

'Gaurds, of course. What else would guard the castle?'

'Knights, or some forcefield, or something!'

'Slow down tiger.'

'My name isn't tiger..'

'Oh yeah smart guy? Then what is it? You still haven't told me.'

'Ze-

The gaurds hopped up to us.

'Hello..'

Rolux uttered.

'We've come to see the king.'

The broomsticks hopped away, as if leading us to the king.

'Thats a yes I guess..'

We followed them to alarge hallway entrailed with a lining of blue carpet. We took a right, and came to two huge doors.

(Those are humongous!)

Little did we know, that was just forshow. The real door was a six by 3 ordinary door with a rusty brass knob.

'How subtle..'

Said rolux.

I elbowed him in the rib, gesturing him to quiet down a little. The doorawy lead to what seemed to a allroom, with a blue line of carpet down the middle, leading to a golden seat. We were lead down the long line of carpet to the throne, then, AROUND it to reveal another wooden door. This door lead into a library, with shelves covered in books. In the durthest corner we found a desk, there was a short mouse, with his head buried in a book. The gaurds just hopped away as if they knew everything was going to be lright. Maybe they did know. Rolux was first to speak:

'King Mickey?'

He mouse jumped in his seat alittle, and looked up with a confused face, the jumped again.

'Are you the fellows Master Yen Sid sent to me?'

In unison we replied,

"Yes"

'I assume you have a keyblade..'

I summoned my keyblade to my hand to my hand, and Rolux summoned his.

'Good! Would you two fellows, know of the heartless?'

We both nodded.

'They've been coming out of nowhere, feasting on the hearts of the weak. My studies have shown that some sort of greater force has been controlling them. You mission, is to research them, and eventually you'll have to get rid of them. Theres obviously some sort of motivation in all of this, some greater goal in the collection of hearts. I say you should head to twilight town, see if you can get any answers. I'll be on my way now.' Mickey slipped on a black cloak and was on his way, like that. He walked through the wooden door, and left. Almost immediately, a similar mouse in a pink dress came towards us.

'Hello boys! Your welcome to our library if you would like to read up on the unversed at all.'

And she walked away. I ran my fingers throughmy hair, thinking about all the responsibilty that had been put on us, and so quickly! I look at Rolux and nodded. I looked the D section of books, and pulled out a book named The Book of Dark and Light.I opened upto the I read the first page, not in a real reading mood. I read aloud.

'Laying there...waiting for light. Here, never losing faith, never believing that no one will ever come through. After all that has happened, I've never been completely lost, and even when I was, there was always a tiny shred of light in the deepest of darknesses. That is what keeps me going, that's what keeps me strong. What allows me to find my way when I'm lost. We all have somewhere we need to go, but darkness in some form stands in our way. so allow the light to be your guide and find your way.'

I looked up to the sound of sudden scratching, and a black mist seeping into the door.

Rolux casted firaga on the door, as it burst into flames. He immediately darted forward, summoning a keyblade and cutting right through the heartless.

'We have to getout of here!' He gestured metowards the door. We dashed quickly through every seemingly never ending hall, slashing through heartless by heartless. We reached the door, and summoned our dark pathway. Just as soon as we came, we left.
