Chapter 10 Where are they?
(Sora POV)
"Again, I will ask, where are they?" Xemnas asked.
"I don't know," I said, "No matter how many times you are going to ask, I don't know!"
"Fine then, Xigbar get the drill, see if we could find any holes," Xemnas said.
"As you wish my liege," Xigbar said.
Then what they did what scared me, they chained me up at my old cell. And I had to watch them drill into the wall. What surprised me it did not make a dent whatsoever.
"What is this? Why won't it work?" Xemnas asked.
"I don't know" I said.
"Braig, where's Lieutenant V.?" Xemnas asked.
"He's nowhere to be seen, his chambers lay undisturbed for at least a week," Braig said.
"So he helped them, now what?" Xemnas asked.
He then leaned on the wall he was trying to destroy. That was when he found the tunnels. Since when was there tunnels there?
"How did you not know of this?" Xemnas asked.
"Like I said I don't know!" I said.
"I see then," Xemnas said, "Xigbar, Braig, get the S.S.A.B.s we're taking this tunnel to wherever it leads us and eliminate the traitors!"
"Yes sir," they said.
(Normal POV)
Braig and Xigbar hurried off, following Xemnas' orders. They knew penalty of disrespecting Xemnas was death. Xemnas was the heir to the throne of Ring City. He used the rings as a way to destroy any betrayers. No matter what Xemnas had, he wanted absolute power over everyone in Ring City.
Truth is, he's not the true heir to the throne. The true heir of the throne to Ring City was the Princess of Rings. Only the first daughter born into the royalty would be the heir. But in the past, the true heir was somewhat injured. She survived by a humble civilian, but hid in fear of death.
Many years went by; the brother of the injured princess became the king of Ring City. But alas, the brother never brought forth a daughter of his own. The sons continued on, never knowing that only the Princess of the Rings could only bring forth a daughter. (A/N: Don't say I don't know how genetics work out. I know it's a fifty/fifty chance it would be a boy or girl. I thought it would have been funny if only the princess could bring forth the daughter and not the prince.) No matter what, the princes reigned on. Never following the old customs.
That was until Xemnas became the heir to the throne. He was so far off, so much in need of power, to do whatever he could to receive total amount. He knew of a prophecy foretold about him.
"Twixt Summer's bells and Autumn's Leaves, the Princess of the Rings shall return, bearing the clouds of the sky and gracidea of the earth, bound to her she will strike, with the Keeper of Oaths, she shall defeat you and end your bloodline with Oblivious by her side," the Prophet said.
Xemnas never paid heed of this foretelling doom upon him. Yet continued on with his plans and developed the Ring Project. One which to brand everyone of their fate. He never knew the day his prophecy unwounded was when Xion Silverwind was branded. Hers were cloudlike, as the prophecy told, but showed no sign of the gracidea.
Little did Xemnas know, Vexen purposely didn't finish Xion's rings for he knew that her life was at stake if he did; the reason why he planned to go to Galaxia Village as often as he could to complete Xion's rings, adding the colors and gracidea. Vexen never agreed to follow the Ring Project; he would be the only one to see the rings before they were branded. He saw that Xion was the long lost Princess of the Rings he had to save her, by causing her rings to have a cutoff.
While Xion lived in Galaxia Village, she began to wield the keyblade Oathkeeper, she often would keep her promises from anyone she trusted. Meaning she wielded the Keeper of Oaths. Roxas, was close to her and wielded Oblivion, meaning Oblivious was on Xion's side.
The end of Xemnas is near.
