Part II: Dive to the Heart

"You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely..."

Dark. Always dark.
The slurping and growling of the Heartless. Pitiful, greedy creatures. Always hungry for more.
Was he hungry?
How long had it been... since he'd seen the light?
How long would it be before he could see it again?
He'd been left in here. That's all he knew. Left in here with that king and the voice in his head, whispering secrets to him, asking him to give in. To give up. What held him back? There was nothing left for him here... might as well give in anyway, right...?
He shook his head. The voice had almost gotten him again. It was happening more and more frequently now... it was becoming harder to remember, easier to think about all the things he could do if he'd let go, the power he would have... oh, yes, the power! Beautiful, sweet, flowing through his veins like eternity... he'd destroy the one who'd put him in here! Make him scream, make him burn, make him bleed...
No!
Who said that? he wondered. Had he spoken? It was hard to tell anymore.
After a moment, he realized the voice hadn't been his. Whose, then? It had struck a chord in him, had nearly made him remember... like a word on the tip of your tongue, a dream half-forgotten, a memory from long ago...
But it was gone, and there was only the darkness. Always, always...
And that voice, that memory-voice, telling him he couldn't give in.

A/N: Do you get it? : ) These two fics take place at approximately the same time... Sora's dream coincides with Riku's thoughts. I tried to make Riku's thoughts sound only about half-sane, since I'm sure it's probably not easy to stay fully sane in Kingdom Hearts. It's hard enough to stay sane while playing the game! Also, keep in mind I've only seen the ending once, so any mistakes are purely my own and I wanted them that way.
