I used to rule the world.
Heartless would rise when I gave the word…
Now in the darkness I sleep alone,
Weep upon the streets I used to own…
I used to roll the dice.
Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes…
Listen, as the creatures would sing:
"Now the old king is dead, long live the king!"
One minute I held the key.
Next the walls were closed on me!
And I discovered that my castles stand,
Upon pillars of evil, and pillars of sand…
I hear Destiny's bells a ringing,
Lord Ansem's cavalry choirs are singing,
Be my mirror, my sword, my shield,
My missionaries in a shadowed field,
For some reason I can't explain…
Once you go there was never, never an honest word...
That was when I ruled the world…

This drabble is about Riku reminiscing about when he was in control of the Darkness. Yes, shoot me if you will for writing so many Riku-Darkness themed drabbles, but I was listening to the song used for this drabble 'Viva La Vida' by Cold Play and I immediately thought of our favorite silver-headed emo dude :3
