ღ Seventh Keychain ღ Loss

[No. No, no, no, no, no. This can't be happening. This just can't be--

The dreamscape this time around is dark. It's a twisted world, a strange pit that loosely resembles his childhood home of Destiny Islands. And he's just... Sitting there. Injured, to reflect the hard battle he fought back in the waking world. But it hadn't been enough, and there's a rip in his shirt to show as much. And there, right on his chest, peeking out of the rip in his shirt, is a black and red symbol, though only a corner can be seen.


He's just lost for the moment, staring straight ahead.]

...I... He really...




[[OOC: The symbol is only from his own perceived state and a reflection of what happened to him. Yup, folks, he lost his heart, making him permanently here until it's gotten back.]]

[A father could do that to a son. As soon as the apparition materializes, she moves to put herself between it and Sora.]

Give it back, or go and wait to be defeated later.

[Well, if it's not obvious, Sora is adopted.

The apparition just smirks and then fades out--nothing but a memory of the man, and for good reason.]

...It won't work like that. Once he's fed on it, he'll discard what's left and it'll become a Heartless.

[They clearly should have given more thought to letting his 'dad' raise a child. Ami steps back only once he's disappeared. She turns back to Sora and, after a pause, speaks.]

And then? What happens?

[reverse-destiny.livejournal.com]

[It's called kidnapping. Either way, he stands, and another scene flickers. A man running, only to fall. And then, he freezes. Something exits his chest, the shape of a glowing heart-shaped crystal. It floats a ways off as the man fades, darkness swirling around the heart before forming into a monster that quickly vanishes.]

...I become a Heartless.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[She's not familiar with heartless, but she's familiar enough with this: a human turned into a monster to wreak havoc on the town.

And she's never once spared them. It shouldn't, can't, be different when it's him, either.

But it is different.]

You're still here, in this form. When is the point of no return? [How much time does she have?]

[reverse-destiny.livejournal.com]

[He's not sure. He's never heard of anyone returning to being human after they lose their heart. So he just shakes his head and shrugs.]

...I don't think anyone's been changed back.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

And as a heartless, will you attack the people?

[reverse-destiny.livejournal.com]

...Yes.

[Lots of them. It's what Heartless do. and slowly, Sora will stand, walking a bit past her with a hand on his chest. Over where his heart should be, and quietly, he recites something:]

Ones born of the heart and darkness, devoid of hearts, ravage all worlds and bring desolation. Seize all hearts and consummate the great heart. All hearts to be one, one heart to encompass all. Realize the destiny: the realm of Kingdom Hearts. The great darkness sealed within the great heart. Progeny of darkness, come back to the eternal darkness. For the heart of light shall unseal the path. Seven hearts, one Keyhole, one key to the door. The door of darkness, tied by two keys. The door to darkness to seal the light. None shall pass but shadows, returning to the darkness. Ones born of the heart and darkness, hunger for every heart until the dark door opens.

Is that what you want? [It's such an obvious question, but she asks it nonetheless, and waits for his answer.]

[reverse-destiny.livejournal.com]

Of course not. But I... Heartless are base instinct. There's only on exception to that, and I'm not it.

[It's a hopeless situation, it seems.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Then stop saying those sorts of words. They won't help you to make the future you do want. Until your existence ends, remember that.

[She softens the words, barely, by reaching out a hand.]
