Legacy of a Star Child

Chapter 12: Hall of Empty Memories

"What is love like Kieron?"

"What do you mean Morgana?"

"Love, I don't believe I have ever experienced being in love before. The girls seem to follow you around and swoon over you left and right. Have you ever been in love?"

"Honestly? No, I haven't. I don't look at those women, if anything the way they gawk and stare makes me severely uncomfortable. I'm not a messiah, I am simply doing my duty as the light bearer."

"Oh, I see."

"Do you think you are in love?"

"Sometimes I think I might love you."

"I'd be ok with that. I told you before, we are in this together, no matter what."

"Keiron...but, I..."

"I don't care what they think of you. I don't care if they hate you for being the bearer of Darkness. They obviously know nothing about what our jobs are like. You are the only one whom has ever understood me. Maybe someday, we will be together. Maybe some day, we will have happiness. Till then however, I will always be by your side."

I was not expecting you to ask me to come out with you this evening sir. Do you really believe what Roxas listed in his report is something we should be concerned with? It seems so trivial.

The heartless gather in numbers when there is opportunity to be found Saix. Even something as simple as a bit more of them than usual is a cause for concern. Besides, this is our home, I would prefer it in a better state when we finally do return.

Of course, sir.

-Saix was irritated, he was never requested like this to leave the castle, and being in the presence of his least favorite person in the world only made it worse. He had a minor headache as it was from the whole ordeal, and keeping himself from just snapping relentlessly at the man was only making it worse. Xemnas noticed the bluets tension, but felt it best not to ask, he knew that a lot of the time he put much pressure on Saix. Not intentionally of course, sometimes it just seemed to happen at the most inconvenient times for both of them.-

I appreciate your assistance in the plan drafting for the Castle Oblivion mission. If we can lure the Key Bearer there to assist us in our plight, or at least to stay out of our way, things just might go more smoothly with building our Kingdom Hearts. Roxas is making very good progress.

Where did you get the idea for this anyways? It wasn't until about a year or so ago that you brought this up as an option.

-Saix did not like the fact that after over 10 years, Xemnas just magically had an idea on how to rescue them from this accursed existence, it was fishy, but Saix hoped in some small way it was the truth. He was however of course already planning, plotting to eliminate anyone whom got in his way. Xemnas blinked some tilting his head to the side as the pair walked down the same path Roxas was on hours before, heading to Hallow Bastion Castle.-

It came to me in a dream, it was strange really. Then I brought the concept up to 4, we did the research and so far it has seemed to check out. Also granted, we have never had access to a Key Bearer until now. The idea of us having someone whom can purify hearts had never occurred to I or 4 as a possible solution.

Just a dream?

-Saix's headache got worse at that. Really? A dream? How dare he waste more of there time. This was probably going to go no where.-

And you are sure the numbers match up? How certain?

...Is something the matter 7? You look stressed. Is this about work? I... apologize. I know a lot of the work load ends up on your shoulders... I promise to get you a break soon.
