When I woke up I couldn't see anything. It was so dark my eyes couldn't make out any shapes. Even though I couldn't see, I knew I wasn't in that room anymore. I wasn't lying on the bed anymore, but I don't know what I was on. The darkness seemed to go on forever. There was no end.
"Welcome." The voice echoed all around. I knew that voice. It was the same one that I heard in the strange room with the dark ball. But where was this person?
I jumped up. It felt a little disorienting. There was no way for me to tell which way I was facing. Straining my eyes, I tried to make out any kind of shape in the dark. It didn't do any good. I couldn't even see what I was standing on. "Where am I?"
"You are in the world of everlasting darkness. This is where lingering spirits dwell. No longer among the living. No place among the dead. We are forever in between." The voice moved around me, but it was definitely getting closer. I felt someone there. "We have been banished to this world. Forsaken." I finally saw something in the dark. It looked like a man, but he was wearing a dark coat, making him blend into the dark like a shadow. "You have been brought here for entering my castle."
"Your castle? I didn't know it was yours. I just went there because you pushed me into that place."
"That's not the only reason you were there." The figure moved closer to me. I could finally make out his face underneath his hood. His eyes were shockingly yellow. It felt like they were drilling into me. "You were there to find Roxas."
"You know Roxas? Do you know where I can find him?"
"Yes, I do." The man never stopped moving. He just circled around without taking his eyes off me. It was very intimidating. "But you don't need to know that just yet."
"Who are you?"
"I am Xemnas, the true master of Kingdom Hearts."
"Xemnas. Roxas told me about you. He said you showed up in Twilight Town the same day he did. He ran away from you." I never forgot how scared Roxas was the day he told me about Xemnas.
"Yes, he did. Roxas did not understand how important he was that day. He did not understand anything. I tried to tell him the truth. He was supposed to be recruited into the Organization that day, but that fool Axel let him get away. So it took longer to get him than I had expected."
"You took him." It was all so clear. "Roxas didn't leave on his own."
"Yes, we did take him. We gave him many chances to leave of his own free will, but he refused. There was no other choice but to force him."
I ran up to him, standing as close as I could get. The plan was to try and be menacing, but I didn't do very well at it. "You had no right! Roxas was happy! You should have left us alone."
He barely moved his hand, but he somehow sent me flying back. I landed hard on something, still not being able to see the floor. "There were more important things at work than your minor relationship. Roxas was needed elsewhere. As you are now."
I picked myself up. "What could you possibly need me for?"
"We need you to get Roxas back. You are the only one that can."
