The darkness fades to light, but eventually, as is always,
the light fades to darkness. And in the end, there is nothing;
light and dark hold no power where there is nothing.
The room was a dull blur as Sora opened his eyes. His head hurt, and his eyes stung with the fading memories of dreams. He shook his head a little bit and tried to reach to rub the grogginess from his eyes, only when he tried, he couldn't. "Huh?" he exclaimed, looking from hand to hand and then from foot to foot. He was locked in some sort of weird, elliptical machine, and both his hands and feet were bound by metal casings connected to the outer ring. He struggled to free himself, but soon gave up as he realized it was futile. A menacing laughter pierced the tranquil darkness as a shadowed shape emerged from the darkened doorway. "Just try to escape, you little whelp, but you'll never succeed. We built this contraption out of pure darkness; that means you hold no power in here." he said, and waited a while to let the facts sink into Sora before continuing. "You're going to be our new experiment, little boy, and when we're done, you won't have the slightest sliver of light in your heart!" he laughed menacingly, and then he walked away and left Sora to his lonesome. Sora groaned lightly and hung his head in shame, then tilted his head slightly upward to study the room. It was some sort of laboratory, with beakers and test tubes with liquids every color of the rainbow, and more, in them. The only exit was the way the dark figure had just gone through, and Sora shuddered to think what lay beyond it. It was hopeless; he was indefinitely trapped within this stronghold. He groaned again and drifted into another sleep spell.
