Ah... slow update. Sorry! I had some technical difficulties...

~Sunlight~

I've been having more and more of those visions over the past six months. They're either about the black-haired girl – me? – or a blonde boy that also wields a Keyblade. I don't understand. The boy wears an Organization coat, but he obviously isn't one of us. There are only 13 of us, after all, and I know all of the members. Thinking about the visions, I walk slowly across the area in front of the clock tower in Twilight Town. I stop at the spot where I first woke up, after being 'born' as a Nobody.

Who am I? What am I? Why did the Keyblade choose me?

I sigh, and stand there in the shadow of clouds. I should be getting on with my mission, but something tells me that if I wait, right here, I will get closer to finding the answers I seek. So I wait.

In the end, my waiting is rewarded. Standing there, eyes closed, I suddenly feel slight warmth on my face. I open my eyes, and find that I'm standing in a small circle of sunlight. I smiled. Maybe, just maybe, this is part of the answer I seek. And, right on cue, I feel… something.

"Saori…"

My eyes widen, and I look around nervously. Did somebody just say my Somebody's name?

"Saori… Have you had enough of this foolishness?"

No, I wasn't hearing it… it was more like, the words were being placed into my mind…

"Saori! Answer us!"

I concentrated hard. "H…hello?"

"Finally. Have you had your fill of humanity yet, dear?"

"I… I don't understand. Who are you?"

"Ah… we should have expected this. After all these years, of course you locked away your true identity. Allow us to refresh your memory, Saori-chan."

My true identity? What do they mean, 'refresh my memory?' Who are these voices, anyway?

"No! Wai-"

I had no time to protest, though, because the sunlight suddenly became blinding, and the warmth turned into burning flame. My body convulsed, a cry ripping from my lips as the mysterious voices did… something. Then, as suddenly as it began, it was over. I fell to the ground, panting.

"WHAT did you DO?!"

"Relax, child. We have returned you to your true form. Once you unlock your memory, you can come back to us. Until then, Saori-chan."

"Ngh…" I groan, and pass out.

A small clawed hand scratches at my arm.

Ugh… déjà vu much? I open my eyes to find… a Shadow Heartless. I push myself up with my right arm and summon my keyblade with my left hand, killing it in one swipe. I groan and lie back down. How long have I been out? You can never tell in Twilight Town… it's always twilight. I sigh and decide that I might as well finish my mission and get back. I push myself up and get my feet beneath me. I straighten, and then stagger, my balance faltering. I feel strangely light. I take a step forward and hear a rustling sound. Why is that? There's nothing else here… I turn around, half expecting to see something behind me, but all I see are a few feathers drifting down…

Wait.

What?

I extend a gloved hand a caught one of the feathers in my palm. They were huge, and a pure, snowy white.

Xorisa, the Revenant Angel.

Revenant Angel.

Could it be?

It was. I spread my wings – my wingspan was huge – and reveled in the new – yet somehow familiar – sensation. But over the joy of the moment was a dark undercurrent of thought.

What am I going to do? Complete the mission and RTC? I can't hide this from the other members. Perhaps I could ask Zexion to cover it with illusion? Him and I are pretty tight. He might be willing… But no. We don't have hearts, don't have feelings. He wouldn't hide something like this for a make-believe friendship.

I sigh, and wonder. Could I possibly… leave the Organization? The moment I thought that, my mind began spiraling into darkness. Another vision…

In this one, the blonde boy wearing the Organization coat was walking through the streets of The World that Never Was. He passes by… Axel?!

"Your mind's made up?"

"Why did the Keyblade choose me? I have to know," the boy replies, halting.

"You can't turn on the Organization!" Axel shouts.

"You get on their bad side, and they'll destroy you!"

"No one would miss me," the blonde retorts. He continues to walk away.

"That's not true," the red-head snaps. Then he sags forward.

"I would…"

I open my eyes slowly, finding myself collapsed in front of the clock tower.

What was that? Does Axel know that guy? I guess I should ask him…

.:After completing the mission:.

"Xion… what are you going to do?"

I jerk my head up in surprise. That was Axel's voice! Who is "Xion"? As my brain processes the words I just heard, I sigh. This led me back to my dilemma… It might as well have been "Xorisa… what are you going to do?"

Xorisa the Revenant Angel... Hey, the title makes sense now!
