Chapter three

"Unh . . . " Ero began to wake up. He looked around at his surroundings. He was on a pillar, the background was dark.

"What the? Where am I?" He said standing up. He walked to the center of the pillar. On the pillar was an ornate design of a person, who was holding the keyblade...

Around him three things appeared out of nowhere. A sword, a rod, and a shield. Something inside him told him to pick one of these. He went to each one and examined them. He finally settled on the sword. As soon as he took it, though, it disappeared from his hand. Now something was telling him to choose one to give up. He looked between the rod and the shield. After a moment he made up his mind and decided to give up the rod. He took it and again it disappeared from his hand.

As the Shield that was left vanished, the keyblade appeared in Ero's hand. He had an uneasy feeling.

Suddenly the pillar he was standing on shattered, and he fell down into the darkness. Not long after another pillar came into sight. He landed on it and looked around. This one too was ornately designed, but it was different from the first.

From out of nowhere heartless began to appear on the pillar. Ero took stance and began to fight off the heartless. He lunged at one killing it and jumped to another, knocking it out of the air and attacking it with a downward blow. He turned to the third and smashed it to pieces. After he had defeated the three heartless, another wave of three appeared. He went after these too and soon took them down.

Darkness began to flood the pillar, until it was covered in it. Ero sank down into the darkness. A moment later he reappeared on another pillar, gasping for air. 'What happened?!' he thought to himself. Ero got up and looked around. On the other side of the pillar was a door...

He walked over too the door, but it had a strange appearance. He could see through the door and it was locked. Suddenly a light from somewhere up above shone down and a chest appeared. He went over to open it and when he did, part of the door became a solid color. Next a crate appeared. He took the keyblade and busted the crate. When the crate was no more, the rest of the door became solid too.

He walked back up to the door, which had been unlocked, and grabbed the handle. He took a deep breath and opened it up.

As he opened the door a bright light shone through. He walk through the door into the light, and on the other side was a room, completely white.

A voice came out of nowhere sounded and ask Ero three questions.

"What is most important to you: being number one, friendship, or your prize possessions?"

Ero was taken aback by the appearance of the bodiless voice, but answered anyways, "friendship."

"What are you so afraid of: getting old, being different, or being indecisive?"

"Being indecisive," replied Ero.

"What do you want out of life: to see rare sights, to broaden your horizons, or to be strong?"

Ero answered, "To broaden my horizons."

The voice asked no more questions. Then there was a bright flash of light and Ero was taken to another pillar. In the center there was a light shining down. He walked up to the center and when he was in the light, it disappeared and he became surrounded by heartless.

He fought off all the heartless taking them out in groups as the crowded around him. He cleared them away and the light reappeared, and then moved over to the side where a path appeared leading to another pillar. He walked over to it and began to head for the next pillar.

As he walked up the path it disappeared along behind him. He had a odd feeling, like something was about to happen. He continued walking towards the pillar.

He reached the edge of the pillar and a light appeared shining down on the center. He walked toward it and as he drew closer he noticed his shadow growing bigger. He his feeling started to become a bad feeling.

'Oh no, I hope it's not what I think it is' he thought, thinking back to what had happened earlier.

What he was fearing was coming true. The shadow lifted itself off of the ground and became the Darkside heartless, the one that had attacked him and his friends earlier. Darkside was large, very large. Its body was pitch black and its eyes were small and pale yellow. In the place where its heart should have been, there was a big gaping hole.

This time he was all alone, but he knew he had to face it if he was gonna find a way back.

Ero prepared himself for the fight. He got into battle stance and waited for the giant heartless's attack. It turned to face him and it swung its hand down, forcing it to the ground and creating a pool of darkness around it from which smaller shadow heartless spawned. Ero dodge the shockwave that came from the impact and immediately started hacking away at the hand(which was its only weak spot) while fending off the shadows. Soon after Darkside pulled its hand away, but Ero continued to attack it until it was out of reach. Ero ran back a ways and went into a defensive position waiting for its next strike. Darkside sank to its knees and then began to shoot balls of energy from the empty hole where its heart should have been. Ero ran for cover behind one of its hands while at the same time attacking it. After continuously hacking away at its hand, Darkside was finally defeated by Ero.

He jumped away from it, but where he jumped was the wrong place to be. Darkside was falling in his direction and would fall on top of him if he didn't do something. He brandished his keyblade infront of him preparing to knock it away before I squashed him, but the keyblade vanished from his hands. He looked to see where it went but had no idea. He began to back up but was running out of space to go.

Then darkness began to cover the pillar. It got to Ero and he began to sink down into it like before. He was sinking down into the darkness again, and had no idea where it would take him. Soon he was completely covered by it and had a suffocating feeling. He wondered when it would end. Where would it take him? He tried to fight against it but he couldn't get out...

"Ero! Wake up, Ero!"
