- " must be nice…to sleep so peacefully…so…engulfed in light" A silver haired cloaked figure sighs. His gaze seemingly locked onto a large flower bud shaped pod.

" hmm…" He smiles.

"I wish I could join you in that light …but as long as I remain attached to the darkness everyone is safer…" He takes a couple steps forward placing his hand over the pod, seriousness stealing over his once serene expression.

" If that's what it takes to keep balance…so be it….I will become that darkness"

" SORA!!!!!!!"

A pair of bluish green eyes opened in distress, darting around the room while they trembled into focus. The restless blonde boy sighed in relief, wiping sweat from his brow.

"must've…been a dream" He reassured himself, trying to calm his hastened breaths. Suddenly, he could hear the sound of rain pelting against his window and groans.

" guess it's time for another uneventful day…"

* knock knock knock *

" huh ?…who is it?…" the blond yelled out from his four room apartment.

" delivery! ….for a …Ren?.." a squeaky voice answered from the other side of the front door.

" mmkay just a sec" he made his way over to the door and opened it to welcome in a small delivery moogle struggling under the weight of a large box.

" Oi you ok?!" Ren asked as he took the package.

" Y-yes …thank you…um sign here please." the moogle summoned up a piece of parchment and feather pen.

"….o~kay…done" Ren stated just as the parchment and pen dissipated into pink sparkles.

"thank you…have a nice day" Ren closed the door, and stared at the box in utter confusion. No sender….only a name. where could this box have come from….and more importantly what's inside?….

His hand neared the package seal slowly in added anticipation. Just as he grabbed hold of the seal a female voice pleaded…

- DON'T DO IT!-

At that moment the blonds had pulsated in pain and caused him to yell out.

- Please get away!!- the voice echoed.

" Who's….t-there?!"

- RIKU GET AWAY FROM IT!!-

As that named was uttered images flowed into the teen's mind.

Memories?….

But…he couldn't have possibly had these experiences….

- What's going on - he mentally screamed and ran to the door.

And even as he ran down the hallway…hushed whispers kept sending messages.
