'Well what do you wanna do Kai?' Sora finally asked. Kairi had been sitting with her letter in hand for an hour now reading it over and over again. She looked up at him and he could see she had been crying,
'Kai? …Kai? Are you okay?'
She gave a sniffle and looked him in the eyes,' I want to find my parents' she said with a very certain tone to her voice'
'Then we'll find them' Sora nodded, 'but where do we start looking?'
'I don't know!' Kairi moaned and burst into a fit of rage full tears. She held the letter to her face in depression and as she did so a tear dripped down her face and touched the paper,
'Kairi look!' Sora exclaimed and pointed at the changing parchment. The letter had disappeared and a single guiding sentence replaced it: GET BACK ON THE BOAT it read.
'Our task is simple to see gentlemen' Axel announced to a group of older men also in dark robes,' The girl must be found, she is the key to the Heartless, They want her for some reason, maybe if we get to her first we can use her to discover the true darkness'
Twaine a chubby man with greying facial hair posed a question,' yes that is all find and dandy Axel, but how do we find her?' there was a mutter of agreement from the others,' we have only seen this… Kairi girl in our visions and the place in which she resides holds no records of even existing, the Organization has the largest library in the universe and no Destiny Islands were ever catalogued'
'Yes' replied another,' how do we know that this girl is not a myth?'
Axel clenched his fists and slammed them down on the table in front of him, 'Dammit! The master believed she was real why can't the rest of you?' he roared in frustration,
'Yeh and look what happened to your precious master!' Twaine retaliated, 'went off to look for fairies and where is he now? Gone! Dead!'
'He's not dead!' Axel cried,
'Look apprentice Axel' Twaine stood up and advanced towards the fiery man,' with the master gone, I am the leader of the organization and you are just an apprentice! It would not be a wise decision for your career to follow all this silly banter about the seventh princess'
'Banter!' Axel roared outraged, 'I speak the truth brothers and this is not banter, if you wish to discover the truth behind the darkness, behind Kingdom Hearts, behind all things! You will listen to me and fund my research into this place "Destiny Islands"'
'Axel I command you take your seat now! Or I will have you exiled from the order'
'ORDER? You still call this an order? You have become soft and mallow hearted, you care for nothing but the riches of men Twaine, you are not fit to command us, there was a time when the Organization meant something- a time where our intentions where pure of heart, now you seek only to benefit yourselves with power, if this is what the organization has become I would be glad to be exiled!'
Twaine smiled, he had had enough of this young "truth seeker" it was plain to everyone else in the organization that the study of the heartless offered an immense power a power which could be harnessed and used to their advantage. One day Twaine hoped to rule along side his fellow members over the universe. But that would never happen as long as moral people like Axel remained in the group,
'So be it' He said faking the seriousness in his voice,' as leader of the order I here by exile you apprentice Axel from the training and studying provided from the organization, you are to leave the area immediately and are never to set foot on Organization property again'
'Very well master' Axel said with a quick bow and left.
Riku and the hooded one had arrived at the strangest place Riku could ever have imagined. It was a small hut on an island surrounded by frothing water, there were trees on the island as well but the leaves were gone, replaced by clear bubbles. The two landed on the steps in front of the shack with a whiff of cool air,
'Where are we?' Riku asked his new companion,
'Where are we? I'm not entirely certain… and I created this place!'
'You are full of mysteries my good sir, what may I call you?' Riku enquired staring at the mans shadowed face under his hood,
'My name… my name if you must know is Yerrsef'
'Yerrsef?' Riku asked,' Do you have a last name, I would feel more comfortable calling you a MR…?'
'Tufulou, my name is Yerrsef Tufulou I would prefer if you just called me by my first name'
'Okay Yerrsef, what do you mean you created this place?'
Yerrsef let out a small chuckle and walked ahead towards the front door,
'Let's see if our Kairi is still on the premises shall we?'
'But you didn't answer my question!'
