Memory 2: Xemnas, the Superior

Finding his way well enough through the quiet city, it wasn't long before he came to the skyscraper. Having ignored stray shadows that he'd passed along the way until now, he was surprised when he found someone actually standing before the building. Someone in a long black cloak who turned towards him as he approached.

"Ah. We've been expecting you. Surely you are the 'Key of Destiny'." The figure gestured to the keyblades still in the boy's hands.

The boy looked at his key-like weapons then back to the cloaked man.

"Key of Destiny?" he inquired.

"Of course," came the deep voiced reply , as the man descended the steps in front of the skyscraper. "It's an honor to meet you...Roxas." He bowed slightly.

"So. My name's Roxas, then?" the boy tilted his head seeming to get a feel for the name. "Sounds good enough."

He shrugged and let the keyblades fade in a wisp of light.

"Then it's true. You don't remember anything..." The cloaked man straightened himself once again.

Roxas blinked. "What?"

"Nothing to worry with for now..." was the only answer before the cloaked man pulled back his hood to reveal white hair and amber eyes. "I am Xemnas. Leader of the Organization."

"Organization?"

"Yes, we're a group of nobodies; those without hearts in this world that lies in neither darkness nor light. Roxas...You are like us. You lack a heart..."

Roxas's eye's widened. "Wh-what do you mean?"

Xemnas looked down at the boy. "It's the only reason the heartless have left you alone on your way here. Haven't you noticed? They don't attack because you have no heart for them to worry themselves with. Simple creatures actually..."

Both looked around them where heartless emanated from the shadows with no purpose behind their lurking whatsoever, before shifting their twitching bodies back to wince they came. None of them bothered the two in any way.

Roxas slowly turned back to Xemnas looking questioningly at his own hands. "So...how then..."

"Roxas. You were born above other nobodies. The others of the Organization are the same as you. In truth, all we really want is to reclaim our hearts so that we may truly exist again. We've all waited for you here so that you might join us."

Xemnas motioned around them and there appeared a circle of lesser nobodies who bowed before them with their lithe, white bodies.

"Won't you join or Organization then, Roxas? Help us further our dream to free ourselves from the nothingness we have become...After all, what else left is there for a nobody then to bond together with their brethren?"

Roxas thought it over silently for some time before nodding. "All right. . .I'll join this Organization. . .There doesn't seem much else I can do..."

Xemnas nodded solemnly and the two disappeared in a vortex of darkness.
