Roxas woke up in the morning hearing odd noises. All through the night the entire castle was quiet so Roxas' ears had adjusted by now and could hear the small sounds of a few people entering and going further into the castle.
Quietly Roxas left the room and looked around. The castle was beautiful in the morning light. He could easily see the stair case that split in the middle and the skeletons on the floor. Maybe no one had moved them as to not disturb their peace.
Roxas spotted a few children going up the last of a staircase so quickly but quietly he followed behind them. The children entered a room at the far end of the hall so Roxas poked his head inside the room as to not be seen. The room looked to be a room for a baby despite it being huge and elegant.

The teenage girl placed flowers on the crib and said, " Sorry our Prince the rain would not allow us to visit you on your birthday." Roxas looked around the room there was a painting of a baby with blonde messy hair he guessed was the Prince the girl had spoken of. Roxas stepped inside and the adults turned, "We didn't know anyone else would co-." They looked at Roxas and froze eyes wide.
Roxas became very confused, "I saw you people in here I was hoping you could help me out. I came here from the neighboring country and I don't know my way." He gave a small but nervous smile. The girl walked into him and grabbed his hands, "What's your name? We wouldn't mind helping." "Roxas" Her face became surprised and she let go of his hands.
The adults stood from the floor the woman came over to him. "It can't be that you have the name and resemblance to the prince that was once here." Roxas became very confused, "Me? An orphan from the country of Hirashi, a prince to here?" The man came over to him and placed his hand on Roxas' shoulder, "Maybe telling you the story of this countries downfall would explain how we feel." And so the man began to tell the story
