Chapter Two: Truths

After hanging on to the rail for dear life, the train stopped at Yen Sid's tower. Hanging limply, I pulled myself up on the caboose, then hopped over to the land. Amy walked calmly out of the train a few moments later.

"Are you okay?" she asked me.

"Of course! You didn't expect me to be left behind, did you?" I asked back.

"See, that's the reckless stuff I'm talking about. You don't think. You just act," Amy told me.

"Of course! That's what makes me… well, me!" I told her. "Come on, let's go!"

We walked over to the door, where I spotted Jason Rashar. He was the one who first had the Keyblade… but then… I killed him, even though time rewound and he was brought back. He was wearing his old traveling clothes, as well… an orange tunic like Link's, but with whitepants and a long-sleeved, white shirt.

"Hey, Jason! What's up?" I asked him as we walked up to the doorway.

"Oh, nothing. I'm just trying to get into Yen Sid's tower. Maybe he can tell us about all the weird stuff that's been going on," he said without turning around. Then he turned around to look at us. "Roy! Amy! So you're here, too, eh?"

"Yeah. I guess something happened. Well, let's open this door… together," I said. We all pitched in, and managed to get the door open.

"So, what do you think happened? The Heartless showed up, and then we ended up here, in Twilight Town. It's like Kingdom Hearts or somethin'," I muttered.

"Who knows? At any rate, if Yen Sid's there, maybe he can tell us something about it," Amy replied.

We walked up the confusing stairs, making small talk about how confusing the situation was. It really was difficult to figure out, let alone accept. Some Heartless also got in the way, but before our combined strength, they posed no threat.

Eventually reaching the heights of the tower, I kicked open the door to Yen Sid's room. I've always wanted to kick a door open. There Yen Sid sat with his back to us.

"Hey, old man! We want some answers!" I yelled brashly at him.

"Do not be so hasty, Roy. You must have patience if you are to find your way," Yen Sid answered calmly, turning around as he did so. "One group of travelers cannot possibly find their way across the turmoil that is to come."

"Turmoil that is to come? You mean the world isn't at peace, like Sora was supposed to make it?" Amy asked him.

"Indeed. For reasons I do not know, the Heartless and Nobodies, as well as those Luce, still roam the worlds. Though this is likely because darkness is eternal, I sense some other force at work. You must never let your guard down," he told us. "Find your way, the path laid before you, and you will find the truth."

"What about my Keyblade?" Jason asked him.

"Ah, yes. The Keyblade. You must find your way while sealing the worlds once more. The Heartless, Nobodies, and Luce's presence had undoubtedly altered them, unsealing their keyholes. Now, take this Gummi Ship," he snapped his fingers, and a Falcon model Gummi Ship appeared behind his window, "and find your way to the Radiant Garden. There, you may find your mission."

"Okay. Thanks for a little bit of cryptic info," Amy said sarcastically. We then proceeded to walk out the door, but I, being the guardian, lagged behind them. Before I could get through the doors, they slammed shut in my face.

"What's the deal? What's going on?" I asked.

"I must share with you some words that are for your ears only," Yen Sid told me. "You, Roy, must be careful in your journeying. Especially you."

"Why? What's so special about me?" I asked.

"There is something… different about you. You do not have a fate. Your destiny is yours and yours alone," he told me.

"I don't have a fate? What's that supposed to mean?" I half-yelled.

"Your defiant stance and strong will broke the chains of fate when you failed to die fighting Charon the first time. Undoubtedly, this is what allowed you to defeat him. Your power is like only one other…" he went on.

"Get to the point!" I shouted.

"You are a danger to existence. Your ability to choose your own path may lead to disaster," he told me. "You must be very careful, lest you alter the destinies of all things."

"I do what I want to. That's all there is to it." I said, opening the door and walking out of it.
