The Final Deception Of Organization XIII

Chapter: I

"Is there nothing we can do, Adamus? What would become of the worlds if the Organization made the same mistake as did the others? What will . . . become of us?"
"Please forgive me, Anastasia, but the fate of the worlds . . . our fate . . . rests within Castle Oblivion, in the hearts of Organization XIII."

"This place . . . So much light . . . Where am I . . .?" It was Alexis..
Was she Alexis? Suddenly, she was having trouble remembering her own name. You have no name.
It was as if she had never existed. You don't exist.
"But If I don't exist, why am I here, what is my purpose." You have no purpose. Your life has no meaning. You are merely . . .an empty body. A Nobody.

A girl suddenly woke, in a strange, plain white room.
She had had the most realistic dream; she was falling. Just falling. Falling into darkness, yet feeling as if she was blinded by light. It was an uncomfortable feeling, and she was almost too happy to be awake.
Her eyes felt restless and heavy, and as she sat up, she began to feel light-headed. "Ohhhh . . . "She yawned, lazily, stretching her arms.
"Welcome to the realm of the Awakened, Xeilas." That surprised her. A man in a black cloak was hovering outside of the door to this unusual room. "You must have me mistaken with another girl, my name's-""what's the matter, Xeilas? Can't you remember your real name?" The girl became angry. "Of course I can!" She defied. "It's . . . umm . . . well . . . I don't know . . ." She said softly, hoping the man couldn't hear her. She felt embarrassed. She couldn't even remember her own name!
But that wasn't the worst of it. If she didn't have a name, did that mean she didn't exist? You don't exist. And why did that sound familiar? "So, I really don't exist, do I?" She asked. For some reason, she felt like the strange man in black meant to help her. It was unexplainable, but suddenly, she trusted him. She wanted to tell him everything suddenly; how she felt, everything. "You're not supposed to exist. And you don't. Neither do I. I don't understand it all, but for some reason, were in between Existence and Extinction."
The girl thought about this for a moment, trying to grasp all of this information that had suddenly been laid upon her.
It was all very confusing to her. I exist . . . but I . . . don't . . . exist? Finally, she managed to ask: "Do you remember your name?" The man also thought about this. "No. I live here alone. I awoke here one day, and couldn't remember a thing. And I was hungry, so I wandered around this place, hoping to find a kitchen; instead, I found a library. A book was laying open on the floor, so I picked It up, and there was a picture in it. It was of me. There was a caption next to the picture that read: Luxan, Member No: I.
I had no Idea what it meant, but I guessed that it must be my name. But still . . ." He hesitated. "Something didn't feel right. But for now, that's all I've got."
The Girl and Luxan were silent. Neither of them wanted to talk.
If they did, what was there to talk about? Weather? There were no windows, or even a way out of the castle, as far as they knew. Each other? They couldn't remember anything about themselves.
So there was silence.
Until the girl had an Idea. She quickly stood up from her bed. "Can you show me the Library . . . umm?" "It's Luxan."
"Right. Can you, Luxan? I need to know something! Please!" She was begging now. It seemed to Luxan that whatever the girl needed to know, it was important. But he was more than happy to take her, after all;

It wasn't everyday that someone came along, that he could call 'friend'.
