Riku ran into the cave, a bright white light had now replaced the doorway. He took a deep breath before running into it. He felt himself falling, yet he also seemed to be staying in place. Everything around him was white. The were no walls, no floors, just an empty plane. He tried taking a step forward, but was overcome by a wave of vertigo. He stumbled and fell to his hands and knees, breathing heavily.

"Welcome Riku.", came a voice from behind him. It sounded kind, yet cruel. Calm, but also filled with rage. He slowly turn to face whoever was behind him, and what met his eyes suprised him.

"Sora..? What happened to you...?"

His once spikey, brown hair that had pointed out in every direction was now a black and white, as if the two colors were clashing perfectly in the middle of his head for dominance. The white side seeming more light and uplifting, the black seemed to radiate an ominous power. The colors of his clothes now reflected the exact same image, a balanced battle between black and white being fought, the darker side radiating the same ominous power as his hair. . The battle waged on even in his eyes, black and white clashing around his pupils. In some places either of the colors would cross over and fade into the opposing color the further in it crossed.

"Sora, what's going on here?"

He just stood there relaxed, but something about him seemed tensed to attack. Riku took a step towards him, a split second before his foot hit the ground his friend had disappeared. He quickly turned around, seeing his friend looking at him with what felt like a sicking mix of compassion and malice. Sora tilted his head to the side, a blank and somehow focused look in his eyes.

"Who are you..?"

He tilted his head to the other side before speaking, "You seek truth and guidance, correct?" The voice held a hint of Sora's voice.

"Yes, where am I?"

"Nowhere, yet then again, everywhere."

"Exactly what does that mean?"

"Your body hosts an incredible amount af darkness. Did you unlock your heart to it?" Riku looked away and hesitated.

"Yes..I did."

"And now you're world has been consumed. Such a shame really."

"Who are you and why do you look like my friend?"

"You might not have trusted me if I didn't take this form."

"Form? What is going on here?"

"You're in my domain."

"You still haven't told me who you are.", replied Riku, becoming irritated, a hint of darkness surrounding him.

"Don't resort to darkness, but maybe it could help you."

"You're not making any sense at all.."

"I can't reveal too much, just know I'm an ally, but at the same time an enemy. Trust me, or don't. Your choice. The answers you seek will be answered here.", with that 'Sora' opened a dark portal and faded away.

Riku looked at the portal and took a deep breath, unsure of what truths he sought that were about to be revealed to him. He slowly exhaled and stepped through the portalm feeling a jolt of energy as the portal closed around him.
