Chapter 6: The Door to the Light
Sora stares out at the sunset from the beach peer, his oversized brown boots hanging over the now red and gold ocean. He sighs deeply as he remembers his mother's final words to him before she let him go.
Be safe. Come back to me alive okay Sora?
He had wished with all his heart that he could honestly answer her and tell her that he would be all right, but he knew he couldn't. The darkness surrounding his heart closed in threatening to swallow him whole. He could see it close in like an angel of death, ready to grace him with its kiss. The only thing holding it back now is…
Two long thin arms wrap themselves around Sora's neck. Without much thought to whom it was Sora places his hand over one of the thin arms. He knew this feeling… He closes his eyes and leans his head against Kairi's cheek. The darkness retreats from his heart leaving him with only his thoughts and Kairi.
Light, warmth eternal
Sora's eyes snap open; in his mind he could see the end… A strong gust of wind rips through the waves, drawing them upwards into a swirling torrent. Lightning streaks the now dark sky, the door was opening and this place was no longer needed. Sora stands, a transparent shield flickering to life.
"Kairi… stay behind me." He holds out his arm to stop any thoughts of her moving. Sora stand silently knowing full well that there was nothing he could do to stop the destruction. He was trapped; he himself could leave but Kairi… He shakes his head solemnly.
Another side,
Another story...
A deep dive
A door of light
What lies behind the darkness?
Heartless
Endless
Nobody
"Everything is coming back to me, the true..."
"Maybe our journey meant nothing after all."
Sora kneels next to the frightened Kairi and wraps his small arms around her. The dark water rises slowly around them, the torrent pressing closer.
"Don't be afraid Kairi… I will always be with you…" A bright light escapes from the secret place blinding Sora and Kairi; the door was now open. Sora's shield evaporates and the two soundlessly accept their death.
