Author's note: I don't own Kingdom hearts, an all that usual stuff.The eclipse lands are mine though,thats why they have such an original and simple name.Anyway onwards and upwards.

"Did you do what I asked?"

Sai'x returned to the Altar of Naught with somewhat of a satisfied smirk on his face.

"I have, superior," he answered

Xemnas turned round and smiled knowingly "So, it can begin..."

"But superior, why does Namine need that sketch pad?"

Xemnas began walking towards Sai'x, he walked as slow as he spoke.

"Namine has the ability to interfere with the memories in people's hearts. Her drawings, hold her memories as she succumbs to the darkness. In the end we can use Namine and her drawings to change someone else's memories, they will believe Namine's memories are their own."

Slowly Sai'x realised Xemnas's plans. Make someone believe that what happens to Namine, has happened to them. Make them think they're in the organization...

"But what if Namine's light interferes? What if she doesn't fade into the darkness, if the memories she draws are only ones of light?" enquired Sai'x

"Namine now resides in darkness, when darkness surrounds you all you can do is give into it," said Xemnas "And Namine is a nobody, all nobodies are destined to fade into the darkness."

Sai'x smirked as he now felt more reassured on Xemnas' plans working. "So who will this plan be used on?"

Xemnas held out his hand, a minature hologram of three teenagers formed on his palm.

"The infernal keyblade master and his friends. If they think they're in the organization, we can use them to gather hearts, then when the time comes..." He snapped shut his hand making the hologram vanish "...We take their hearts, and Kingdom hearts will be complete..."

Sora scuffed the dusty dirt with his trainer.

"Do I have to?" he mumbled

Kairi stood in front of him, her arms folded over her chest.

"You said you wanted to go on an adventure, find new places. You can't go somewhere without food and supplies, so go get them," she demanded

Sora sighed and turned on his heel before walking away with his hands laced behind his head.

"Nothing ever changes round here," he said to himself

Not far along the beach Riku jumped down from a papou tree and stopped Sora in his lumbering tracks.

"Remind me where we're going again," spoke the spiky haired keyblader

"The exodus lands," replied Riku "Nobody has ever been there, we'll be the first."

"If nobody has been there how come it has a name? And doesn't exodus mean paradise?"

Riku sighed and shook his head "No, Sora. Now will you just get going, we do want to leave here sometime before next year."

"Hey, you were the one who stopped me," answered Sora as he began to walk off again.

Namine stood in the center of the white room she had been in when she first arrived. The same man, who she now knew as Xemnas, stood in front of her. Namine had been sat in her room when a red headed man had come and got her. He was still here, stood closely at her back to stop her from escaping.

"Why am I here?" Namine finally dared to ask

"I'm going to give you answers," Xemnas replied

The red head's grip on her shoulder tightened slightly as if she was about to turn and flee at that point.

"It's ok, I know," said Namine "I'm a nobody, I don't exist."

She spoke with slight reluctance, having to say that about yourself wasn't easy. Xemnas shook his head.

"Answers to what will you be doing for me."

Namine looked confused.

"Did you get the sketch pad?"

She nodded slowly.

"And you have been using it?"

"...Yes."

Xemnas smiled but the expression didn't look good on him.

"Good, now Namine you must continue to draw whatever comes into your head, those drawings will be very important soon. They will help us achieve our goal...You, will help us achieve our goal."

"Why me?" Namine backed slightly against the man behind her. Some reason, like with Roxas, she felt safer with him.

"You're different Namine, you have a power, but you need to let the darkness overtake you to use it. Wouldn't you like to use that power Namine? Wouldn't you like to be powerful, to harness something nobody else has?"

Namine stared blankly. She didn't have a power, or at least not that she knew of.

"What are you talking about?"

Xemnas walked closer in front of her.

"You, Namine, can interfere with people's memories. You can manipulate them, take them apart, put their memories back together in a whole new form. You can change someone's life story."

Namine almost slumped to the floor upon hearing this. Surely he was talking about someone else.

"Let the darkness overtake you and you can have that power, you can be supreme. Do not deny or avoid what is destined," added Xemnas

She was destined to change people's memories? Destroy the past they had and give them a new one, make them believe they lived a whole different life.

"I...I control people's memories?" Namine stammered

"Yes, but the power needs darkness to work. You need to let those dark feelings overtake you, become part of the darkness. Let your fate take hold."

Is this all to do with what had happened earlier? When that strange black mist fused round her hand?

"You," Xemnas tilted her chin up "Are the 'manipulator of memories', it was your destiny, and here you can follow that."

The words were spinning round her head. Each letter echoed with a promising tone. Namine could be powerful? Back in that other life she'd always been the one to follow, she never had any power, and maybe she was happy to go along with that, but now Xemnas had told her that she was 'destined' to have power...Namine glanced down at her hand to see that black mist floating around her fingers...She could be powerful. The prospect ever luring her into a mind numbing feeling. She felt...different. Xemnas smiled slyly.

"Keep drawing those thoughts, and tomorow you shall begin a whole new journey..."

Outside the tall white room the red head stopped Namine.

"So you can change people's memories huh," he said

"I, never knew I had any sort of power," aswered Namine quietly, slightly lost in thoughts of how green this man's eyes were.

"You don't really realise until you get here, that's the thing about this place," He looked over his shoulder as someone walked by at the end of the hall "I'm Axel by the way, commit it to memory."

Namine didn't need to introduce herself. Unless Axel was deaf or completly stupid he would have realised her name from been back in the room. Xemnas had said it enough times.

"You know I'd give to have 'memories'...Being a nobdy you don't actually have memories really, you haven't exactly lived a life to form them. But, it'd be good to have summit that makes you more...of a somebody. Don't you think?" suggested Axel

Namine only nodded. She remebered Roxas' words, how a nobody cannot be a somebody. You don't have proper memories, you don't truly exist, you can't say you have a life...Namine looked up at Axel...To be a somebody, was all Axel wanted...
