Auromil was standing in the middle of the street. The local bar owner hired Auromil to take down a cheater named Dulro. The man staggered out and they exchanged some harsh words. Auromil, having enough of Dulro's words, carelessly charged. A card appeared and then a man from that card. The man had a crown on his head and a sword in his hand. It took Auromil no time at all to take care of the king. He noticed that Dulro was missing. The assassin walked down the streets, looking for him. He heard a crash in the clock factory. Afraid of losing his kill, he ran to the building. As he opened the door, he saw Dulro cowering in fear from a heartless. The heartless attacked him, and Dulro was no more.
It was 11p.m. and Auromil was home on his bed, about to go to sleep. This was the strangest night Auromil has ever seen. He never saw the heartless work with each other before and he never saw them go only after one victim. He looked at the flower that he held. It had eleven pedals. What an odd number he thought. He looked out to his garden. He saw a flower move. Someone was out there. He picked up his scythe and ran out to his garden.
He looked around. Nothing escaped his sight. He went flying to the air from an intense blow to the back. When he recovered to his feet, he saw a fat bandit. The heartless sucked in air. Auromil knew what it was going to do. It was going to burn down his garden! Auromil sprinted to the fat bandit and jumped over it. He took his scythe and buried it into the heartless's back. The giant whacked Auromil into the garden. It blew it's fire. Auromil's garden was no more. He charged in anger. The fat bandit flopped onto him and became a puddle of darkness. It faded away.
It was 12p.m. and Arlene had received news of Asi's, Alex's, and Dyme's disappearance. As hard as she tried, she couldn't sleep. Her heart was broken in many places. She was depressed; she hadn't stop drinking since she heard the news. She would do anything to bring them back. She tried to sleep once more.
Arlene a voice said in her head. Arlene. Do you miss them? Do you miss them all? "Yes" she replied. Then meet me at The Great Maw. If you meet me, then you can be with them all for eternity. "Okay. I will come." Arlene woke up. The voice sounded familiar to her, but it was far off at the same time. "The Great Maw." she whispered to herself. She quickly got up and rushed out of her house.
She hurried to The Great Maw. It was raining and thundering. She had never ran in the lightning since she was a little child. She remembered it perfectly, the day she was struck, the last day she ever did anything herself, except for now. She had never tried this hard to get anywhere. She had usually just used her sexuality to get people to do what she wanted them to do or, like what she did with Asi, marry them for their money. She has married several times in her past and all of her husbands were found a little later with a knife in their backs. Twelve that she had killed. Its amazing how she hasn't been caught yet. It probably helped to sleep with the judge. Making this twelve mile run was probably the only work she has ever done.
Arlene! She was hearing the voice again. Arlene! Hurry! Your heart must be strong to meet them and it is losing power every second you waste! Arlene pushed herself even harder. She would reach there in less than an instant. "I am here! Now what!" A portal was opened in front of her. It was filled with darkness. Step through the portal. Do it now! The portal is slowly closing! "How do I know I won't become a heartless!" You can trust me. Arlene looked into the portal. She saw Asi and Alex and Dyme and Even. She put her hand through the portal, but it disappeared. You are…too late. "There has to be something I can do!" There is one thing… Black blobs began to take form behind Arlene. No one heard her screams that night.
