The Masters Eye

Memories and Lies

"Talk to me when you're better..." A warm, distant smile settled across his face as he watched Sora's eye's searching for answers. Riku pressed his lips against Sora's, exchanging their love for the first time. They hold, then finally, Sora breaks away, needing to breathe. "B-Better? But I am better..." Sora says, knowing very well that he wasn't. The stupid demon was stuck in his head, repeatingly demanding for 'Games' and Fun'. The same demon happened to like committing arson and killing his loved one's for this 'Fun'. Riku shook his head, staring off at the lake.

The Master roared in frustration as he flipped a table, scattering papers and ink across the floor. "It makes no sense! I'm better now. I'm so much better now. The god of time. I'm the god of time! I have royal blood coursing through my veins. I have all the power I could ever need! What more does he want from me!?" He growled, summoning his corrupted keyblade and throwing it against the wall. He stretched out his tattered wings, or at least, what remained of them. Like his eye, one of his wings was almost completely gone, besides the thin muscle and bone. The other was now gray in color, no longer having its majestic shine. It was dirty and half burnt off. Not even his own demons wanted to be around him anymore. Antiform... stupid creature. Oh so corrupted, yet loved all the same. Hehe... even Riku loved him. So what if he was going a bit mad? He was still the same Sora! The Master casted fire magic on the table and walked out of the room. Everything could burn in there. Nothing had any value to him anymore besides his friends and family, and they didn't even want his company.

Sora looked up at Dark Pit in amazement as he told heroic stories of his scars and battles. It was amazing how someone who looked so young did so much, but who was he to judge? He saved the world for the first time when he was thirteen. "I... do have one scar... you know, besides the one on my arm." Sora explained. Antiform had a habit of biting. "Oh?" Pit asked, almost intrigued. "Yeah, it's... complicated though, because you can't see it. But... I lost my eye. I have a huge scar there, but it hasn't happened yet." He said. "Woah, Sora, are you okay? What happened!?" Pit asked frantically. Sora shook his head. "Nothing too bad! I don't think... I don't know, apparently I grew up to be this really bad person who destroys countless innocent lives and worlds." He said. "And how do you know this exactly?" Dark Pit asks. "Well... there's this guy that comes to visit me, and he told me what I'll become. I... don't like it. He's terrifying, and..." Pit wrapped him in a warm embrace. "It'll be fine. I'll make sure that never happens to you. You are my son, after all." He kissed him gently in the head. Sora missed having a father. It's been so long... "T-Thank you..." He says softly.

Lies. Lies. ALL OF IT WAS LIES. Just look at him! The Master despised the worlds and despised his past mistakes. Why couldn't he just have been closer to Xion? Why did he waste his time playing hard to get with Riku? Why did he accept the burden of being the god of time? The master made his way back to the cell. "Come on, please... you have to stop." Kairi begged. "Kairi, we've been through..." "And I'm sick of it! When are you going to change!?" She cried out. Sora kept his hood low and kept walking. "Never have, never will..." he mumbled. Next stop, Riku. The master unlocked his cell and opened the door. "Will you continue to resent who I am? Now that I'm all BETTER!?" He snarled. Riku just sighed. "Be mad all you want, but I don't love you. You've fallen too deep, and I'm not about to give you my love just to delay the inevitable. You're destroying yourself, don't you see?" Riku asked. "WELL GUESS WHAT, I DONT NEED YOUR LOVE! I'LL FIND ANOTHER!" He stormed out again. It was the same routine. He always went back and forth, always leaving mad. It was good, though. It meant that there was still hope left, and that's all Riku needed. The cell door was left wide open, but Riku didn't leave. No, he wasn't about to give Sora what he wanted. Not like this.
