The loud beeping of a nearby watch echoed through the white room. The emptyness of the room seemed to make even quiet noises loud enough to wake the dead. Lillet slowly opened her eyes and sat up in her bed. She reached for the watch and pressed a small button on the side, the watch read 4:56 A.M. Finally realizing where she was, Lillet jumped out of bed and ran out into the foyer.
It was quiet, which was expected since everyone was asleep. As she made her way down the stairs she found Riku fast asleep on the couch. She figured that when Katze was forced out of the Dream World, Riku had stayed out here to wait for Lillet when she awoke. She quietly headed back up the stairs and opened the door to the Library. Ever since Sora and Riku defeated Xemnas, the lab in the basement had been sealed off.
In the center of the room stood a large round table cluttered with piles of books. The bookshelves were overflowing with books and tomes, and on each side of the towering shelves were piles of books that obviously did not fit on the shelves. Lillet ran her fingers over the books and pulled out a red book. A heart with a crown in the center served as the cover of the book, and the text on the spine was written in golden text.
Lillet flipped through it's pages, but quickly found that the book had been written in a strange language. She flipped to a page that seemed to describe a dark warrior. An illustration in the corner of the book showed the warrior clad in black and blue armor, which glistened in the sun. And in her hands she held two keyblades resembling dragons.
"That's me, before Yoryk and the others banished me." A strange but familiar voice called to Lillet. She turned around only to find herself staring face to face with her reflection in a mirror, but the reflection seemed to have a mind of it's own. The reflection's appearance changed as she stepped out of the mirror and stood before Lillet. Now she wore armor similar to the illustration in the book, and her brown hair was so long it reached the back of her knees.
"Annalya." Lillet said as she closed the book. "So you're the Betrayer." Annalya nodded and smiled faintly. "That's how I am portrayed in books these days, eh?" Annalya took the book from Lillet and searched through the pages. Satisfied, she handed it back to Lillet. Both pages showed an illustration of a charm. It showed the full charm and the seperate pieces of the charm.
"This is the keychain for the Key of Hearts. You swore an oath to protect the doors of Kingdom Hearts for all eternity with this keyblade." Annalya seemed suprised at Lillet's reaction and nodded. "Yes. Before Yoryk ordered Delira and Sonjoro to attack, I sealed the door to Kingdom Hearts and whisked the two pieces of the keychain to different worlds...Yoryk told.."
"Yoryk told Sonjoro and Delira you seperated it so they would never be able to obtain the power of Kingdom Hearts." Lillet interrupted. Annalya nodded once more and sighed, "I would have gladly given the keychain to Delira or Sonjoro, but Yoryk was a fool, he can't be trusted with it. If only they knew I was only trying to protect the keychain.."
"Now it's your job to protect both halves of the key chain. As you may know, Xehanort has one half of the keychain, and he is very close to finding the second half." Annalya said as she turned away from Lillet.
"How do I know if that's really what you want me to do? Legends say that you mercilessly slew thousands of Chasers before Yoryk, Delira and Sonjoro banished you. How can I trust you?" Lillet spat mockingly.
"Delira and Sonjoro only did what they did because Yoryk lied to them. Yoryk was jealous of me because I was gifted with the Key of Hearts instead of him. He would've done anything to take the Key from me, and so he began lying to the High Council and the others, telling them that I intended to use the Key for my own bidding." Annalya replied scornfully as she turned towards Lillet. "Delira and Sonjoro believed they were doing what was right, when they were just being manipulated by Yoryk. If anyone is the true Betrayer, it is him. Fortunately for the others, they overheard Yoryk striking a deal with a dark sorcerer, who they had fought earlier that day."
Lillet nodded slightly then quickly balled up her fist and gritted her teeth. "How do I know if that is even true?" Annalya smiled and shook her head then replied, "You don't need to believe it. You just need to keep the second half of the Keyblade from Xehanort. You know what he'll do if he reforms the keychain, that should be your motivation to protect it."
Annalya spun around and started towards the mirror, leaving Lillet to ponder her words, but before she reached the mirror she looked over her shoulder and said, "If you want to protect the chain and the crown, protect Delira and Sonjoro's son." And with those words, she stepped through the mirror and vanished, leaving only Lillet's reflection in the mirror.
Lillet looked up at the mirror and smirked, then headed out into the foyer towards the White Room.
"Delira and Sonjoro's son...Riiight..And how am I supposed to know who that is...?"
