"You died, about half a year ago," she answered sadly.

"But…but…that's not possible! I never…" Sora put his head in hi hands and closed his eyes, "I can't remember."

"Take a deep breath; it'll come back to you." She didn't seem too sure of herself but she encouraged him anyway. "You're just in shock," she watched as he placed his right hand on the table, "if I could tell you I would," she added as she placed her hand over his.

Sora relaxed at her comforting gesture, "can you tell me anything?" he opened his eyes to see she was watching him with her head slightly tilted.

"Well…your other questions I can somewhat answer…but some things I just don't know."

Sora smiled at her effort to help him, "can we start with who you are? And maybe how you know me?"

She smiled again, "your smile is very infectious…" she cleared her throat and motioned to herself with one hand, "my name is Julia. I've lived here for as long as I can remember…" she blushed and ducked her head slightly. "As for knowing you I'm not sure how I know you but I know that I do."

He nodded, "I'm not sure why but I feel like I know you too…you're just someone I can't remember."

"Maybe we have met before but it wasn't important enough to remember." She pulled her own hand back.

Sora followed her lead with his own hand and put both of his hands together in his lap. "Maybe…do you know what or where this place is?" After a few seconds he heard a soft 'Mmmm' sound and Julia nodded.

"This place is called the White Tower in a place that you could probably call…Kingdom Hearts I think. It was part of a much larger castle and town long ago but both are gone."

"Kingdom Hearts?" Sora asked almost stuttering it out in surprise, "but its wha…?" he stopped when Julia placed a finger over his lips.

"I knew that would surprise you," she giggled while taking her finger away and Sora blinked in a dumbfounded manner. "What your people know as Kingdom Hearts is actually just another world."

Sora tilted his head in confusion as he thought her words over. "But it's the heart of all worlds, a power compared to no other. If it were just another world than why can't anyone get there without some kind of door or…or collecting hearts into some kind of moon?" He asked; it was exciting to think that he might be able to get answers to these questions.

She laughed a little at how excited he was getting over it, "I suppose but the thing is it's the only world that can transcend the plains of darkness and light. While most worlds reside in the light there are those that reside in darkness just like this one."

"How…" Sora thought it better to ask, "How do you know this?"

Her eyes lit up when he asked that, "That's an interesting question!" She tried to calm herself, "but its something that I just know and haven't forgotten."

It didn't help that she didn't know how she knew but if he could get answers it was better than nothing. "Why does it reside in darkness?"

"I don't remember but there's a book in the Broken Tower that has a story on how and why all of the worlds are divided," she smiled sheepishly, "that actually brings up something I need to ask you." She bowed her head down and blushed, "but if you don't want to you don't have to do it."

Sora's eyes were on her the entire time and he never once thought of saying no, "what is it?" He smiled when she looked up.

There was a fantastic flub in this one but I edited it
"I suppose but the thing is it's the only world that can transcend the plains of darkness and light. While most worlds reside in darkness(supposed to be light) there are those that reside in darkness just like this one."

I realized this while screwing around with my mic(I was reading it outloud too make fun of my impression of Julia...check this link if you want to hear my flubs(misreading/stuttering xD
