I could get Roxas back? "Where is he?"

"Roxas is being held prisoner on an island. There is a boy named Sora who kidnapped him from us. Somehow he made Roxas a part of him, keeping him trapped. Sora did this and then banished us to this dark world. He wields a weapon called a Keyblade and used Roxas to make it more powerful. There is only one way to stop him and free Roxas."

I swallowed the huge lump forming in my throat. "What do I have to do?"

He held out his hand. A light started to form in the darkness. It kept getting brighter and brighter. With the light I was able to make out more shapes around us. Ten other figures were standing a little ways off. They were all wearing the same black hooded cloak as Xemnas. In the middle of the light, a sword started to appear. It was long and silver with a black handle.

"This sword will give you the strength to free Roxas from his prison. It will give you dark powers that will be needed to match the Keyblade. All you have to do is kill Sora with this blade."

Kill Sora? "I can't kill anyone!"

"It is the only way to release him. If you do not do this, he will be trapped forever." Xemnas stared at me with those yellow eyes. "Are you willing to live without Roxas after you made this long journey? Don't you care about him?"

"Of course I care about him." I was starting to get angry. Who was he to judge how much I cared about Roxas? Especially seeing as he is the reason that we weren't together anymore. Everything that happened was his fault. But he had a point. Was I willing to let Roxas go for good? Could I go back to Twilight Town without him? No. "Okay. I'll do it."

I reached out and grabbed the floating sword. It was heavier than I expected. I had never held a sword before so I wasn't quite sure how to hold it. Could I actually be able to use it to kill another person? I didn't have a choice.

"Sora lives in a world that is close to the light, so you will have to be careful. And act fast because if he is able to use the Keyblade, you will not have a chance. Once Sora is dead, Roxas will live again."

It was all too convenient. Xemnas didn't seem like the type to not want something in return. What could he possibly want from me? I had nothing to offer. "What's in this for you?"

"Roxas is a Keyblade wielder. Once he's free, he can use his Keyblade to open the door to the world of darkness. Then the Organization can live again and reclaim Kingdom Hearts."

"Fine. I'll bring him to open the door. On one condition. Once he does that, you give me Roxas. We will return to Twilight Town and we will never here from you again. You will let us live our lives."

Xemnas stepped closer to me. That scared me a little. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. "Agreed." I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding. I can't believe he actually said yes. He was going let me have Roxas. We were going to be together again. And no one was going to break us apart again. Without the threat of Xemnas, there was going to be nothing in our way. "When you leave this world you will have the power to travel to other worlds. Follow the path to Destiny Island and there you will find Sora. Return to my castle with Roxas and your mission will be complete."

Another flash of light behind my back made me turn around. It looked like a door made completely out of light. That was the way out of the dark world. When I turned back around, Xemnas and the others were gone. I just started running for the door as fast as I could.

"Wait." It wasn't Xemnas's voice that called out to me. There was someone standing near the door. He pulled off his hood to reveal a long, spiky red hair. "You're the one they're sending after Roxas, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"If you do free him, tell him his friend says hi and that I miss him. He'll know who it's from."

"I'll tell him." I started walking towards the door again.

"Dexlin?" How did he know my name? "No matter what they say, I know Roxas cared about you. He told me so."

And then he disappeared, just like the others, leaving me alone. I was tired of being in the darkness. The whole place just scared me, especially after meeting the people that lived there.

I jumped through the door and found myself standing at the highest point of Xemnas's castle.
