Who would have ever imagined, that a heart, even though, so fragile, would be able to conquer the darkness within? How can this simple-minded boy, conquer the everlasting Darkness? How can I be defeated? I should have been able to take over his heart within the Realm of Kingdom Hearts, but yet, my fabled Kingdom Hearts, was light, just like the boy had said. The light.... Who could have ever known that the ultimate door to the darkness would be Light? None of my research could answer these questions, nor about any of the Unknowns...

How could I have made such a grave error in judgment? All of my research proved useless against this boy...Sora...He has darkness within his heart, but his light shines brighter than I could have ever imagined; after I felt my body being exposed to the brilliant light, I could not take it, and the darkness within my heart imploded upon itself. It was in that moment I understood what Light truly was: the good of people's hearts. No matter how dark a heart had become, there was still light. I understand that Darkness can never truly conquer the heart, because if the heart were truly dark, existence would cease to exist.

I understand the aspect of non-existence, as I am one. I never thought I would become part of my own research! Nothing could have prepared me for what happened after my heart imploded, as my conscious became embodied within a different body. So much power flows through me as an Unknown, but I am not fully aware of the extent of this power, whither it surpasses the powers of Darkness, or if the power comes from the Heart. None of my research over the course of my intense study of the Heartless or Unknown has given me any answers; therefore, I search for others like me.... Non-existent.

There are others like me, with their conscious being fused to different bodies; they seem to forget all of their memories of their former life. Across my journey I have found many people from my past, the King who visited my planet, and the boy Riku. Both of them have lost their memories...yet it seems I have lost very little, or almost none at all. I remember that boy, who told me that Kingdom Hearts was light...but that light has given me new power I could have never imagined.

Hollow Bastion, I found, was still intact, and it was there that I had made my residence again, and the rest of the Unknowns, had also followed me, like stray dogs looking for a home. They are also taking orders, being almost obedient as the Heartless, but if Riku or the King find the library and find access to my name...there is a chance their memories will return...therefore I will name myself the Red Enigma...and I will extract my revenge on Sora...and find the secret of Kingdom Hearts...
