"Where am I…"
[Stay asleep.]
Riku opened his eyes suddenly. "Who's there?!"
[You should remain asleep. Here, between light and dark.]
"Between...what?" Riku murmured, trying to grasp his surroundings, gasping as he couldn't recognize where he was. A void of sorts, with no discernable landmarks. A sudden memory overcame him,a swarm of heartless, losing sight of...:"The king! Where's the king?! Together we closed the door to darkness. After that-"
[You came drifting here by yourself. You did not have the strength to overcome the darkness. Or...maybe you were close to it.]
"Hmph. As if I'm some kind of demon." Riku chided.
[Hmm. Turn from the light. Shut your eyes. Here blanketed by the darkness, sleep is safety. Sleep is eternal. But…]
A light shone before him, revealing a blue card that floated before him T
" What's this?" Riku asked as he glanced at the card in confusion.
[It is a door to the truth. Take it and your sleep ends, as you take the first step toward the truth. But know this: the truth will bring you pain. Will you still go? There is no return to the security of sleep.]
Riku looked at the card once over, recognizing the place on the card, shrugging his shoulders. "This seemed like a boring place to take a nap anyway."
[That was very well said, Riku.]
Riku lifted the card over his head, and before him a white door appeared,
"A door to the truth, huh…" Riku murmured to himself as he placed his hand on it for a moment, reminded of the door from his island. The memory pained him, one where his two best friends were lain before him, Sora looking at him with fear in his eyes as he held Kairi in his arms.
He placed a hand over his heart, pushing through towards a new world…
"Sora, I'm sorry. This is where... it all ends..." She said holding her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
For a moment he hesitated, unsure for a second before he shook his head assuredly. "No, it's not." He held the charm in his hand, the star that was gifted to him from a friend he could no longer recall. "I know, because he's here. He'll be the one able to save you now that I can't. Believe me, Naminé."
That person gasped to herself for a moment, standing before her beloved person, fading before her eyes. She reached out towards him, taking a step forward. He reached out his hand towards her, but her hand fazed through. As the two recoiled, the boy glanced as his hand, the shards beginning to disappear before his eyes…But even so, he looked up towards where the sky should have been; the escaping shards reminding him of the stars from his home. He placed both hands over his heart, the star charm remaining closest to his heart as a smile drew on his face.
"There's still time."
