Chapter 12 The End
"So all this time," Lotus said, "I had a heart, while my parents didn't?"
"Yes my dear," I said, "I'm sorry for keeping that away from you. The one thing I wish I never kept from you that you had a heart."
"Its okay mom," Lotus said, hugging me for the last time.
"I have to go now," I said making my way to the door, "Just promise yourself that you would remember me."
"I will," Lotus said.
When I opened the door I found myself face to face with Xemnas.
"Well then, I see your ready then," Xemnas said.
"You just don't understand," I said, "You never knew my entire life and you never will."
I tried to get away but I was too late, I felt the Etheral blades force itself into my body. I knew Lotus was still awake, when I felt the blades leave my body, my body was already crystallizing and dematerializing.
"Mom!" Lotus said, running towards me, "What…what's happening to you?"
"Lotus, this is what happens," I said, "when a Nobody ceases to exist. I'm sorry that you have to see this."
"What can I do?" Lotus asked, "I can't do anything without you."
"There is one thing," I said, "when you're heartless and nobody is destroyed, the original person can come back. Which means, I will come back as Airene, but I'll still be your mom. I know that…you could wield…the Keyblade which we've kept a secret from everyone else. I want you to leave this place, and head to Hallow Bastion. If I see you again, then we will bring back Terra, Aqua and Ventus. Take my Wayfinder, and return it to me when you find me again."
"I'll try to," Lotus said taking my wayfinder and placing it around her neck.
With that, the rest of me had ceased to exist, to return one day as Master Airene.
