Chapter 37 Wrong to Use?
Xehanort's POV
"What we need to worry about is getting to the bottom of this", Master Odin stated.
"I agreed Master", Hermod said. "In fact, this piece of information actually gives me a new theory on how Xehanort got his ties to the darkness."
"It does", I asked in shock.
"What is your theory Hermod", Master Odin asked.
"Bragi got his ties to the darkness from being in the Realm of Darkness", Hermod pointed out. "Perhaps that is how Xehanort got his ties to the darkness as well."
"You think so", I asked.
"It makes sense", Baldr stated. "After all, if one entrance to the Realm of Darkness is on the Destiny Islands, it safe to assume that Xehanort wondered into it at one point."
"You have a point", I agreed. "But, if I did somehow wonder into the Realm of Darkness before I came here, why don't I remember it."
"To be fair", Eraqus started. "You didn't remember, like, anything before when you first got here."
"That's true", I agreed. "But, that still doesn't factor in the cloaked person that brought me to the islands. Or the cloaked person that opened the Corridor of Darkness that brought me here."
"Well", Eraqus started. "There's nothing we can do about that. We don't know who that person was. Nobody on the island did."
"Yeah", I said as I sighed sadly. "You're right about that."
"So…", Bragi started. "That's it? We're at a dead end?"
"For now, yes", Master Odin replied. "But do not give up heart yet my students. The answers you seek are out there, and if you trust in your heart, then I have no doubt that you will someday find them."
After Master Odin said this, both Bragi and I smiled.
"Thank you Master Odin", I said to said person.
"Yeah", Bragi said. "Thanks you Master Odin."
Master Odin simply smiled at us.
"Well then", he started. "You are all dismissed."
…
My classmates and I were walking through the school's hallways.
"Bragi", Eraqus started getting said person's attention. "I'm sure you know this, but make sure not to use the power of darkness again? Okay?"
"You mean the same darkness I used to save Vor", Bragi asked.
"That doesn't matter", Eraqus stated angrily. "Darkness is bad and always has been. Remember that. Okay Bragi?"
"Fine", Bragi said. "Whatever."
After Bragi said this, everybody but him and I left.
"Xehanort", he started. "Be honest about something. Do you think darkness shouldn't be used at all?"
"Huh", I asked in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"I mean", Bragi started. "I know where Eraqus is coming from, but I was only able to save Vor from the Heartless because I used the power of darkness."
Hearing this took me by surprise.
"Is it really a bad thing to use something if it helps someone?"
Bragi looked at me for my answer, and I was surprised at what it was.
"No", I replied. "I guess it isn't."
