(Later that same night)
(Riku jerks out of his once calm slumber, his body sweating heavily and his head aching. Being careful not to wake up the sleeping bodies of Scott and Sora lying next to him, Riku slowly and quietly gets up and begins to make his way down the stairs and into the kitchen, Riku finding a bottle of head ache medicine on the kitchen counter opens the bottle and downs the prescribed amount of the medicine before replacing the bottle back on the kitchen counter where he found it, then he walks into the living room muttering to himself, but then Riku stops dead in his tracks as the voice of another echoes around him, a soft and all too familiar voice. Riku's eyes widen with shock and his body begins to shiver slightly as the voice begins to speak to him, like soft gentle whisperings in his ear saying….)
Sarhia- Riku…. Riku…. Riku…
(Riku recognizing the voice begins to whisper in a shaky and nervous voice saying)
Riku- S…S… Sarhia…
(Riku's breathing becomes heavy and chaotic as the pain in his head erupts violently causing him to scream out in pain, his body collapses to the floor and begins to shake frantically as his mind slips into incautiousness. Riku finds himself lying on the ground in the middle of a vast dark void; Riku's vision begins to return to him, as his eyes begin looking around the vast space surrounding him. Riku sees three strange beings whose bodies where likened onto clusters of shimmer stars and nebulas as if each of their bodies had been formed up of thousands of tiny intertwined universes, they were standing around him a triangle whispering to each other saying)
Lightoon- his heart is strong, as was his beloved wife's… great potential I sense in him.
Mortilmoko- he is awake.
(Lightoon steps towards Riku and helps him stand up, Riku looks at Lightoon frightened and confused as he says in a voice weak and shaky)
Riku- w…w…where am I?
(Riku could feel the warmth and the power radiating off of Lightoon like a raging fire. Lightoon looks at Riku intently his hypnotic glowing eyes entangling and entrancing Riku's mind and ensnaring his thoughts Then Lightoon began to speak in a warm and tender voice saying)
Lightoon- this is… this is the Source… or at least it's final vestige, it was from this forsaken place that all the universe sprung forth into being.
(Riku tries to walk forward slightly but instead he accidentally collapses in to Lightoon's warm and loving arms, Lightoon looks down at Riku warmly and gives a quick soft kiss on the forehead then he begins to whisper into Riku's ear lovingly)
Lightoon- Careful young one, always choose the steps you trod carefully lest you stumble and fall.
(Riku looks up into Lightoon's eyes mystified by their entrancing glow and beauty as he says in a shaky and confused voice)
Riku- who…who are you?
(Lightoon looks down Riku's eyes and says solemnly)
Lightoon- I'm what's left… or maybe… maybe I'm all there ever was.
(Lightoon helps Riku to stand back up as Riku eyes begin to wonder, surveying the vast darkness that surrounding him, Lightoon seeing this gestures towards the vast darkness surrounding them and says)
Lightoon- it wasn't always like this you know… once there was light… I still remember how it was so long ago. But every thing must change… (Lightoon hangs his head sadly and whispers) everything has changed… where is the light that once long before this turning of the tides and the birth of this terrible conflict…
(Riku looks back to Lightoon with a look of curiosity and concern and says)
Riku- Conflict?
Lightoon- The war Riku… the war he started so long ago before the birth of time and space… before this place became a forsaken vestige of it's former purity.
(Riku leans in close to Lightoon looking deep into his radiant eyes and says quietly)
Riku- who… who did this… who started the war?
(Lightoon looks at Riku smiling weakly and says in a voice so soft and tender)
Lightoon- so much to learn and so little time… Behold you now a glimpse of things long past.
(Time seems to stop as Lightoon pulls Riku into a deep and passionate kiss, allowing his memories of the dark events of the past to rush out of him and into Riku like surging electricity. Riku's eyes close tightly in shock as the memories unfold before his eyes. Riku feels his body tense up as Lightoon's lips continue to send rush after rush of electricity through his body but then suddenly time seems to burst back into being as Lightoon pulls away from him as the void around them erupts in brilliant flash of light. Riku's eyes flutter open slowly as he begins to look around at the vast ocean of light that had seemingly replaced the great vast darkness that had been there just moments ago. Riku looks at Lightoon and says in amazement)
Riku- is… is this… (Lightoon anticipating Riku's question replies casually)
Lightoon- yes… this is The Source as it once was. Behold its celestial radiance… its magnificence, its glory…
(Riku continues to look around in amazement at the seemingly endless sea of light surrounding them as he says in shocked and entranced voice)
Riku- it's so beautiful…
Lightoon- yes it is… unfortunately Riku in this place so seemingly untainted and beautiful was born a man… the first of all things ever to exist and his name was Neudos, despite Neudos's great devotion for the light, in his the heart there still did exist a deep inner darkness, it was from this darkness in his heart that another universal force was created…
(Riku turns to Lightoon and says calmly)
Riku- The darkness right… from Neudos was born darkness?
Lightoon- yes… your wife Sarhia, she already told you some of this story didn't she?
(Riku leans in close to Lightoon and places a hand on his check tenderly while looking deep into Lightroon's glowing radiant eyes and says in a voice soft and tender)
Riku- did… did you know her… you talk like you knew her…
(Lightoon looks into Riku's eyes while running a hand through Riku's hair lovingly)
Lightoon- yes Riku I knew her…
Riku- so you… you are one of the one's that used to visit her in her dreams… I remember now, she used to tell Scott and me about you… you … you're The Moonlight Angel, right?
Lightoon- I haven't gone by that title in a long… long time.
Riku- wait a minute, then you were the one who told her about The Door, right?
Lightoon- uhhh yes…. The Door…. The Door to Kingdom Hearts…
Riku- Lightoon…. what is… What is The Door to Kingdom Hearts… why do the heartless want it so dahm bad… what can it offer them?
Lightoon- do you know what Kingdom Hearts is Riku?
Riku- no, Sarhia never told us exactly what it was, all she said was that it was important, in fact her final words to me where remember…
Lightoon- the door is still shut… yes I know I was there that night as well Riku…
Riku- it was you… it was you I felt that night, you held me as I cried… thank you…
(Riku flashes back to the night Sarhia died, Riku is lying in his bed crying uncontrollably when suddenly his eyes widen as he feels a pair of warm invisible arms wrap around his waist lovingly, soothing him and helping his cries to cease, allowing him to drift peacefully off to sleep in the warm embrace of that pair of invisible arms. Riku snaps out of the flash back as suppressed tears begin to fill his eyes, Lightoon, seeing the suppressed tears in Riku's eyes, wraps his arms around Riku lovingly, and whispers in his ear in a voice so soft and tender saying)
Lightoon- its okay to cry Riku… there is no shame in shedding tears for those you love.
(Riku wraps his arms tightly around Lightoon as he Riku begins to cry uncontrollably in Lightoon's arms as he looks up at Lightoon's beautiful radiant eyes and says in a voice racked with cries and sobs)
Riku- I…I miss her so much…
(Lightoon just holds the shaking and crying Riku in his arms tenderly trying to sooth Riku's pain. Lightoon begins to run a hand softly through Riku's platinum colored hair as he says in a soft and lovingly voice)
Lightoon- I know… I know… I miss her too… but for what it's worth there's something… something she wanted me to tell you Riku… she wanted me to tell you that… she knows you found Sora, and she knows that you are keeping the promise that you made to her by loving Sora just as much as you loved her… and… she wanted me to tell you that she's proud of you Riku… she's proud of you… she says that she has faith in you, Sora and Scott concerning the journey you must all soon face…
(Riku looks up into Lightoon's eyes shakily and says weakly)
Riku- journey…. What journey?
(Lightoon breaths in a deep sigh and says to Riku in a voice soft yet serious)
Lightoon- Riku… Kingdom Hearts contains the very essence of all existence of, every heart, in all the worlds, in all the universes, all are connected to it and therefore all are utterly susceptible to it's influence and it's power, Kingdom Hearts is the source of all life and light in existence…. If the heartless ever found The Door to Kingdom Hearts and some how managed to open it they could infect it with their darkness thus turning all of existence into them… their darkness would eclipse all of creation, and all that was once good and pure in this universe will be gone…. time is short Riku they are already on the move, soon they will find a way to break through to your world, they must not be allowed to find The Door to Kingdom Hearts or else everyone everywhere will die…
(Riku rests his head forward against Lightoon's chest as he looks down at his and Lightoon's feet sadly with tears continuing to fall from his eyes as he says in a shaky whisper of a voice.)
Riku- Scott… Sora…
(Lightoon gently places a kiss on Riku's forehead as he continues to hold the crying Riku in his arms lovingly, as says in a voice soft and tender)
Lightoon- Fear not little one for there is still hope, Scott, Sora and you can still stop them, Sarhia believed in you and so do I… it's up to you know, will you help us… Riku?
(Riku looks up into Lightoon's majestic eyes and says in voice shaky and weak)
Riku- w… what I have to do?
Lightoon- for now rest, I will contact you again soon.
Riku- should I tell Scott and Sora?
Lightoon- no, they shall accompany you the next time we meet… so for now let them rest as well. Goodbye Riku. (Lightoon kisses Riku softly on the lips as the space surrounding them erupts in brilliant flash of light and suddenly Riku finds himself awake lying on his living room floor)
Riku- goodbye Lightoon.
(With that said Riku picks himself up off the floor and begins to make his way back up the stairs and into the bedroom, once in the bedroom he climbs carefully back into the bed wrapping his arms around the beautiful still sleeping bodies of Scott and Sora gently as he closes his eyes and drifts peacefully back to sleep)
