Kingdom Hearts: From No One to Someone

The Void

Throughout all the worlds there are many stories of many different species large and small. Each have their own niche throughout the cosmos. They all have their own place to belong, except for one. This race is one who isn't supposed to exist, yet they do.

For they are the Nobodies, beings who are created from the lost body and soul of someone with a strong will who has lost their heart to darkness and become a Heartless. They are generally nothing more then an empty shell.

For they have no hearts of their own.

They have their memories from when they were whole, but they can't feel any emotion. So they have to rely on their memories to fake them.

They neither exist in the realms of light or darkness. So they exist in the little space in between, the twilight.

As they were created from nothingness, they are destined to fade back into it.

For that they truly aren't meant to exist, they don't understand what it means to have a heart.

So why do they even exist at all?

These were the thoughts of the Nobody known as Roxas as he was floating in what appears to be a white void.

He awoke in this void after his final encounter with his Somebody, Sora.

He had mixed feelings about meeting him again. He knew what he had to, but Roxas honestly wished he didn't have too. Yet he had resigned himself to his fate. Roxas thought he was ready for everything, but what Sora's answer was surprised him.

"No. Roxas you're you. We are not the same. I wanted to tell you that. That you deserve as much as I do to be your own person."

Roxas getting over his shock could only give Sora a small smile. Trust his Other to give him the chance that he never could have. But it was to late for him as he knew what he had to do. He gave Sora the only things he had left.

His memories.

Considering that as much as he cherished his memories of Twilight Town, Hayner, Pence, and Olette. They were all as fake as he was. He considered that if anything was real as he was. The only thing he considered real was his time with the Organization. He didn't really have many good memories besides his times with Axel, but he wasn't exactly friendless without him. Before their deaths he had formed a kind of companionship with Marluxia and surprisingly Larxene, though he still didn't know what happened to them. During his later stay with them he came to consider Luxord as a friend and he was saddened at having to see Sora kill him as one of the few memories he saw within his Somebody.

Truthfully, even though he willingly made the choice to merge back Sora, all he wished for was to exist. Anyone else would have also wished to do the same thing. To eat sea salt ice cream, laugh, and enjoy summer vacation with his friends.

Sadly Roxas realized that what he really wanted was too much for any Nobody to ask for. He understood that now and had come to accept it for what it was.

After he was done transferring memories with Sora, Roxas began to fade. He was waiting for this moment as he knew it was his ultimate fate. It was the ultimate fate of all Nobodies, to fade back into nothing.

After all Nobodies weren't even something to begin with anyway.

But Roxas somehow ended up into this void anyway after being absorbed back into Sora. Every since then he has called the void his home. Roxas truly didn't know what it was, but he got the feeling that this was the light within Sora's heart. He also didn't know how much time has passed while just floating here. It could be seconds or years for all he cared. He just knew that eventually everything that was his very being would disappear forever.
