Between school and other stuff, I have a hard time writing things on time. Sorry!
Now, where was I? Oh, right, the curse...
Life was hard for me after Ventus was gone, but I pushed on. I later got a message from Eraqus telling me about the poor thing being brought to him. I told him to never let Xehanort near him again and to not let him leave the island. But I knew it wouldn't last. Ventus could never stand it when someone restricted where he could be. I tried it, and it failed, I doubted Eraqus would do any better. So I told the other two to pretend that they didn't know Ventus if they saw him again. I never told them why, and they never asked.
I got a message from Eraqus that said that he had indeed failed. But not to worry, he told me, because he would soon get him home. Internally I scoffed at this, no one had ever been able to predict what Ventus would do, or how he would react. I felt the young trio of keyblade wielders running all over the worlds, fighting those annoying blobs of misery. It really drained me when they were in my domain, but I stayed hidden.
Not long after, all in one day, I felt the whole world turn upside down. First I felt Eraqus' light go out, followed by Xehanort's darkness transferred into Terra. Then Aqua disappeared into the darkness, and Ventus' light dimmed, until it almost went out. I cried, and I became a miserable old lady after that. Everyone saw me as the woman who never smiled, and refused to allow her kids near the castle where Ansem's new assistant was (yes, it was Xehanort). I was surprised when I felt the darkness growing, but not as surprised as when Matthew stumbled to my door, and turned to dust in front of me.
I panicked and ran to Miriam's house, where I found her with her granddaughter. I took the little girl by her hand, and ran to the beach. Miriam barely could keep up. When we got to the dock, I turned to Miriam, "I'm going to erase her memory. It is better that way, but I wont do yours. I'm sad to say that you wont live very long. This is for her protection."
"What about you?"
"I can't go with you. I am going to die as well. I want to die in my home, but Kairi needs you."
I touched the little girl's head, and transferred all of her memories into her necklace, in which I could feel Aqua's magic. Then I put them both in a boat, and charmed it to go to Destiny Islands.
