[ This isn't right... There's no way this place could be a capital of light. Empty halls filled with endless rooms, strangers around every corner. What's obvious to Terra is that this is not the world he intended to visit.

But how could he be here? Radiant Garden was right in front of him! Naturally, things don't quite add up, and as such he's carefully searching the halls in hopes of finding some answers. After all, he's tried to open up a path back to the Sky Corridor, and nothing's worked.

So, does anyone wish to assist this very tall man™? ]

[ ooc; Canon, taken prior to Radiant Garden, so don't expect any spoilers here. Also, pardon any inevitable fail. I'm testing this one out. ]

[ He nods. ]

That's what I've heard. It's a lot to take in, but I'll manage, even if it does make things difficult.

So you know the basics. That's good, then. [He gives what's trying to be a laugh, comes out as a sigh.]

I'm just not sure what I'll do. This place complicates everything.

[ He won't give any specific details on this 'everything', though. ]

[And he won't pry, even though he's curious.]

Just hang in there. Not a lot else to do, I'm afraid. It's not a bad place to have to put up with.

It's not as easy as it sounds. Still, I'll manage.

[ He doesn't need to worry a kid with his troubles, so he just shakes it off. ]

I'm Terra. You're...?

[Well, this had to happen. He looks away, half-whispers-]

... Uh. Call me Xeha.

Xeha...?

[ ...blink. ]

That sounds a lot like 'Xehanort'...

Yeah. I - [white lie is go] - I was kind of named after the Master. It's really complicated.

You were?

[ ... Huh. ]

Are you a relative of his?

[Looking embarrassed.] Again, it's complicated. But that's kind of a good way to put it.

I won't force you to explain. If I understand correctly, then you're connected, right?

[Sigh of relief, smile. That's saved a lot of headache.] Yeah. That's it.

That's good enough, then.

[ Look, no aggression! Someone still trusts Master Xehanort. ]

[This is kind of a relief, even if it's caused by the wrong things. He laughs.]
Heh. Thank you. That means a lot to me.

It does?

[ That's odd, aw well. Considering Terra is the token nice guy™ of the trio... well, next to Ven, he smiles, giving a little shrug. ]

Well, you're welcome.

[At ease, now, he shoves his hands in his pockets.]

So... uh... anything you need a hand with?

[ Sigh. That's...a very good question. Darn this frustrating world. ]

Is there anything else about this world I should know?

Hard to say. What do you know already?

Aqua told me that we're trapped here, and she did mention alternate... universes. Another boy said that death is temporary, and that people can be stuck here for years.

There was something about "Heartless", too.

[He nods along.] All true, so far. It connects different worlds, different times and places. Very different, some of them. As for Heartless? [A sigh...] Imagine your Unversed, I think. Then imagine they can take the heart out of someone for their own use, or to make into another of them. They're nothing but the remains of hearts and darkness. Dangerous.

[ Take...their hearts? And they're drawn to darkness. ]

They sound even more dangerous than the Unversed.

They could well be. I was trying to fight them back home, but - well. You see. There's enough here, though...

Is there a source for the Heartless? Someone controlling them?

It ... depends on the world. [Maybe a bit tenser here, again.] Mine, I wouldn't know about. But some, I know there is.

I see...

I'm guessing they're drawn to darkness. Is there anything else that attracts them?
