Beyond the Darkness: I
Thinking of you wherever you are…
He could feel his body getting heavier, being pulled down, under the crushing weight of his sub-consciousness. The lower he sank, the more the darkness began to consume his heart. He felt himself utter the words; 'doomed to fade back… into darkness', without even speaking… like a voice in the back of his mind.
We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that out hearts will blend.
He recognized this poem. He had heard it once before.
Starting a new journey might not be so hard.
He wanted to wake up; he could feel his whole body beginning to disappear. He closed his eyes and could feel each part of his body slowly fading away. He had felt like this once before, when he was engulfed with darkness. But this was somehow different.
One Sky.
One Destiny.
He stopped. Looking through the murky waters hundreds of fathoms down, and saw nothing, not even the ground he was standing on. He found it harder and harder to breathe, the pressure was crushing his lungs but he was still standing…waiting.
A figure slowly appeared from the depths of the nothingness. In a black cloak. The figure had long hair, the colour was undistinguishable, but somehow his eyes could be seen even through the murky waters. The two green orbs stared at him as he stood, matching the figure's gaze.
Let's meet again in the next life…A disembodied voice echoed through the shadows. Once the echoing subsided, the figure finally spoke.
'I'll be waiting." The figure spoke, but his mouth did not move.
"Axel…?" He asked the figure, as he tried to move forward.
After a pause the figure spoke again.
"Behind the darkness we are waiting…watching…" The figure's booming voice echoed through his skull. The figure turned and began to fade… back into the darkness from whence it came.
"Wait!" He cried as he tried to run after him, but the figure was already gone.
"Sora?"
He looked up, in the direction the voice came. This time it was a different voice, a voice that he remembered.
"Sora…?"
The darkness began to crack, light began to shine through.
"Sora!"
The darkness shattered and Sora awoke in a cold sweat. He was breathing heavily as a bead of sweat traced a path down the side of his face. He looked beside his bed to see Kairi standing with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Do you have any idea what time it is?" she asked.
He only stared at her; his breathing was beginning to stabilize.
"Hey, are you alright?" she asked with a concerned look on her face.
He looked at her vibrant blue eyes and smiled.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just had a bad dream is all."
"Alright," she said with a relieved look on her face.
"Riku's waiting for us down at the island. I told him I would come and get you."
Sora looked over at the clock sitting on his night table. The red numbers on the clock read: 1:34.
"Oh no, it's that late already?!"
As he struggled to get out of his bed, he tripped over his blankets and fell face first on the floor. Kairi laughed. Sora looked up at her and smiled again.
"How 'bout you go and I'll meet you guys there?"
"Alright, I'll tell Riku you're on your way." She turned around and left his room.
Sora untangled himself from his bed sheets and made his way slowly to the bathroom.
The cold tiles against his bare feet sent shivers up his spine. He turned on the sink taps and doused his face with cold water. After turning off the water he groped around blindly for the towel and dried his face. He pulled the towel away from his face and caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror. Somehow he looked different this morning.
Waiting…watching…
He remembered the voice from his dream as it echoed through his mind. He stared at his reflection for several minutes.
Sora was staring at his reflection, though he could tell the eyes looking back at him were not his own.
