Your Majesty! Where are you!?
-Months, literally months it had been since Riku had been lost wandering the cascading shadows of the realm of darkness. He could not remember the last time he had seen The King, and the last person he had seen, was that man, the man that he... He tried not to think about why he had stabbed him with Souleater. Had it been because he was scared? All he had seen beside that man here was the heartless, had made a mistake? Had he been a heartless too? Or had Riku really possibly killed someone? He hated this, the world was upside down and nothing was right. Sometimes, sometimes he thought he heard a faint echoing laugh in the darkness around him as he wandered. He barely had found sources of water, and even a few random places where food seemed to somehow grow, they had appeared to be fragments of worlds, perhaps not all of them had been restored after all when Sora had helped him seal the door to Kingdom Hearts. Sleeping ever was a risk, sometimes he could find a quiet place to hide where he could get in an hour or so, but then it would be off to moving again. If he stayed in one place for too long, he risked being found by the heartless whom were scattered in groups around the area. The scent of this place was severely overwhelming, sometimes, he could feel his heart beating ever so quickly, not only out of fear, but perhaps in reaction to so much darkness trying to invade him and taint him. The boy stopped in his tracks just as he came over a hill, startled by a large structure in the distance. What was that? He hesitated, before moving towards it, and through the wisps of dark fog, slowly but surely, he clamored closer to see exactly what it was: A castle. Its visage reminded Riku of horror novels he read in school, cascading smoky shadows of the dark abyss seemed to swirl around the structure, almost as if a force of absolute evil were being contained inside. This building was the only thing he'd seen so far that was unmarred, and the thought of possible safety was comforting. He however had concerns considering the obvious draw the darkness had to it. The islander however didn't have time to loiter, he swore he could hear the hushed twitching sounds of shadow heartless somewhere near by, and it prompted him to quickly rush towards the castle. 10 minutes into his dash however, he quickly found he may have just made a big mistake. Even more heartless had been in the castle structure, and quickly came out in response to his presence. He skidded to a halt in horror, gasping as he summoned Souleater to his hands.-
Fuck!
-The sight of the keyblade seemed to startle the heartless whom had there eyes on Riku, some seemed to cower back, and others seemed to grow tense. Within a flash, dozens came barreling at the boy, and of course, he defended himself. He dodged the vicious lunge of a Shadow that had more nerve than the rest of its kind, before swinging to block and knock away a Rapid Thruster. He yelled out in pain at the feel of a Neoshadow's claw cutting into his back, causing him to spin back around to knock its hands off him... there were too many of them, he was not going to get out of here like this. He flinched, feeling the drip of his own bleeding back drip and hit the back lip of his shoe before running down, the sound of a few drops splattering across tainted ground. The boys hair really stood on end however, from the sound of a faint whisper amongst the crowding monsters.-
"His heart, he is one, tainted by the traitor. Do you smell it?"
"I do, hes been marked by the traitor, he is here to do his bidding and slay us all! Kill him! Kill the tainted Somebody! He will not touch the princess!"
-Rikus senses only seemed to sharpen in terror, his heart was racing, was he now hearing voices? Delusions brought on by the fear he felt being at the mercy of dark beasts? They came at him again, and this time, a Large Body heartless came from the crowd and slammed him across the little circle of death with its giant arm. Riku yelled out and was thrown several feet, landing face down in the dirt, with his weapon knocked from his gloved fingers. He trembled, afraid to look up at the death he was sure would be coming for him soon. The rasping twitching and scraping noises of feet and antennae... it all seemed to go silent in an instant however, and a voice spoke up.-
