A/N: Light, darkness, and nothingness might be eternal, but my poems aren't. For the readers who've made it this far, I thank you for your time and attention. Now, permit me one last little spurt of poetry and thought, and I'll be on my way until next time.
One last time, enjoy, read, and review.
"No. I: Xemnas, the Superior"
By Erik Larence
Hearts are power,
And one that possesses the source of hearts
Can truly be called "all-powerful."
Hearts belong to the strong;
They will belong to me alone.
By the time this comes to fruition,
This Organization shall fall as I planned.
Power is best not shared,
Especially between thirteen.
I alone will survive the fall
To create a new world
That shall last forevermore
Under my everlasting power.
A/N: How many people noticed that all the poems in this collection were exactly thirteen lines long? It was a nice touch that I thought would be apropriate...Organization XIII, made of thirteen Nobodies... Why not have thirteen thirteen-lined poems?
Though it was never stated in Kingdom Hearts II, this expresses one of my little theories that I think fits Xemnas like a glove. I think that Castle Oblivion was a ploy by Xemnas to eliminate half of the Organization in one swoop, and the fights in Kingdom Hearts II were staged by Xemnas to kill the remaining half of them after they outlived their usefulness so he could keep the power of Kingdom Hearts for himself. (He could've entrusted the battle at Hollow Bastion to Xaldin or Saïx, but Demyx? That might as well have been a death sentence...) In fact, I'm almost thinking about writing a short story from Xemnas's point of view about how he set them all up for the slaughter...
Again, thanks for reading. I hope it was worth the time and attention. 'Til next time...
