Wayward

V

Going back into the darkness wasn't the first thing on your mind when you woke up. The ideal thought was to never think about it ever again and to stay as far away as possible from it until you knew that you could summon your keyblade. The moment that you looked down at that phone though.. you knew that wouldn't be the case at all.

It was scary, going back into it for the second time.

The feeling of the darkness was different than the first, however. Instead, now it felt more welcoming instead of trying to pull you deeper and deeper into its depths. It was a sign, you knew that. There was no point in needing to worry about it at this rate.

"If I tapped my helmet... would it even work?" You mused aloud, floating there in the darkness. The phone was a map but like this, you couldn't even get near the electronic piece. It was too silly, right?

Feeling the hollow feeling against your index finger and then the sensation inside of the helmet, you couldn't help but burst into laughter when a small mini-map appeared in the bottom left corner of the helmet's visor.

"Dude, I'm totally in the game now."

Snickering the entire way, you found that your body was symbolized by a golden triangle and whichever way you were facing was the main 'point'. The world that you came from was a simple large blue dot.  In the distance, you could see a dimly lit heart shape. The only thing that you could assume would be little red dots would be the enemies.

If any of them would pop up, which you were desperately hoping none of them would.

Leaning forward just slightly, you found yourself drifting forward into the endless abyss. Your mind wandered to different things, however, there were two main ones. Did Eraqus notice that you were gone? Did he even care if suddenly you managed to disappear from a simple home that could barely be considered to be a world?

The one other thought was who was in this darkness. The smell inside of your helmet was still the salt air, there was only one hunch that you thought of immediately.

Drifting around felt endless, for a little bit you wondered if maybe you just fucked up and here you were again, to be stuck in the darkness forever. There was nothing around you expect for the pitch black, the minimap was the only guide that you continued to use. Watching the big blue dot until it disappeared from sight in the map. That's when you knew that from here on out, you couldn't just turn back around and ask Eraqus for help.

It was nearly ten minutes later until you felt hit something in the darkness, it was a solid clear wall. You pressed your hands against the said 'wall', it sounded like glass underneath the metal of your gauntlets. The minimap itself showed that you were right on top of the dimly lit heart.

The sea breeze was the strongest and it made you feel like sneezing.

"C'mon, let me in."

Silence welcomed your voice into the echoing abyss. Sighing you pressed your helmet against the wall, staring straight ahead into the black world. Slowly something bright began to creep along the very edge of your vision, it took you a few minutes to realize that this clear wall was beginning to crumble underneath your touch, revealing something else on the other side of it.

Floating slowly and gently in the secret area, your eyes widened when looking down at the floor as the wall behind you began to repair itself. The ground was stain glass, you were in awe of its craftsmanship.

You could only smile a little bit following the black metal as it took shape into the very form you were expecting it to. With hues of orange, yellows, and reds as an evening sunset that made up a clock's face. Appearing to be slumbering with two keyblades, one white and the other black, laid Roxas crafted out of glass.
