Universe?

... I know you. My heart knows you and it sings...

Roxas?

Yeah...Yeah, it's me.

No... no. You're... different than Roxas.

...

Wind, you are a wind-dancer and keybearer, you are the youngest and you are... you are... and I can't remember your name. And that hurts.

Ven. My name is Ven.

You...Wait. Are you...Are you her?

Ven. Ventus, as the wind, I remember...!

I remember I remember I remember I remember a brash young man who I had to hold back and who I had to CONSTANTLY tell not to fight with what was his name?!

I remember nights on the desert and long conversations by the fireside and falling asleep as three companions together friends for eternity

I remember running and a desperate battle against an unconquerable foe and I remember fighting and protecting and he was too young too young and I told Terra that he needed to be left behind but he said it was alright and I remember frost and pain and NO.

Ven, ven I remember Ven

And I still...

ven, what's my name?! Ven, what's my name?

Yes...Yes! That was us, that's --

Aqua. Aqua, it's you, isn't it? It's really you.

...

.....

Aqua

Aqua

Waters, unwaking.

And the Lords of Light flew over the Unwaking Waters, and did deign to create...

Unwaking, unwaking waters, I am, I am...

My name.

My name

I am Aqua.

I am water I am grace, I am the middle, I am balance, I lie between Earth and Sky, between Terra and Ventus, I am I am I AM

Waking waters.

Dream, a thousand dreams I will not fall I will not I will protect I will I will will will WILL I am I am

I remember...
Ven, I remember! VEN!

Ven you're ALIVE. you're.. you're alive... oh Light, Ven... I'm sorry I couldn't protect you I couldn't protect Terra and we failed And I'm so so sorry I...

ven... I missed you.

Oh god...Aqua, what's happened to you? Did...Did HE do this to you?

You're not hurt, right? Oh Aqua...you sealed me away, I was safe. You kept me safe from the dark. You saved me.

We're so close, we're so close. Terra's here. He's safe. He's safe and he misses you. I've missed you.

We're together now. Don't worry.

I don't know. I just... I woke up in another world and I couldn't... remember. I couldn't remember anything, not my own name, nothing and it hurts. I still can't remember anything, oh Ven...

Terra... Terra. Terra's here?! Terra's here... oh Light I miss him. I miss him so much and it burns, my heart burns with the longing. Oh Light. Please, please let him know.

I'm so glad you're safe, Ven.

We're okay now. We're all okay now. We're together, and nothing will break us apart again.

He's here, safe, sound...changed, but who hasn't?

I'm glad you're okay too. I wish we had found each other sooner.

... You're late, my friend.

~~earth, earth under my feet, sky over my head, I am home, I am home and I am whole again...~~

Better late than never. *huge, huge, running hug.*

Well now, what do we have here?

With the crossroads behind us, I suppose the obvious answer is not much. Yet even with all that is lost to you, you seek a common ground for your heart's reconciliation, yes? What a shame it would be if negligence cost you that, too.

...

*Sigh of unspoken relief as he returns the hug with one arm. So glad to see her. So very glad to have them both back.*

True. All these years... You're alright, aren't you?

Get out of here. Get out of here right now.

... no. No, I'm not.

Terra, there are peices of me missing and I can't find them. I know things about people and I don't know how, or why I know them. I can only remember what happened to us in fragments.

Until just now? I couldn't even remember my name. Let alone yours, or Ven's.

Foolish apprentice to a foolish Master. Why is it you believe you can command me?

(OOC: "Nah, don't wanna.")

I'm afraid I can't go all that far. It's a small world... after all.

Because I am foolish enough to believe in hope.

We bound you once. By Earth and Water we bound you. And if need be we will do it again.

If you don't leave, I will hunt you down and be sure that you never, EVER, touch them again.

That's a small price to pay, Aqua. When I first found Ven, he was in the same condition... more or less. There were memories he couldn't reach, but they weren't completely lost. It just takes time.

We're together now... You'll be fine.

It still... hurts.

But we are together. And things will be better now, yes. Things... I missed you so much, Terra, so much and I couldn't even remember your name...

Water, Earth, and Wind. You're all so terribly incomplete now. There's no strength left to seal away the power that follows in your shadow.

Says he who was the first to fall, hm?

To save him, to save them both, I would fall again...but this time, I would take you with me.

There's strength enough.

More than that, there's hope.

I know it does. I'm sorry for that... for everything.

I was never allowed to forget your name. You and Ven. Some part of me was ready but this... everything else that I am couldn't let it go. I missed you both every hour of every day. That may be the only reason I'm here now. Thank you. I won't fail you. We won't fail him.

Hope. Good luck relying on that.

I'll let you know if I throw my back out sometime then. It'd only be proper to give you a fighting chance.

*nods* Never again.

If you wanted to be fair, you wouldn't need your servant.

You know what?

The Dark is everywhere. It is between the stars, it is under stones and beds, it is all around us and it chases our feet and we can never escape it.

But do you know how much light it takes to drive back the dark?

A candle.

One. Single. Candle.

And hope is more than a candle

Hope can ignite the stars.

[OOC: [/quotingfromthestarwarsepisode3novelandmadeoffail] ]

Ten years did nothing to quell the anger, did it?

Have you seen him here in this world?

Not in this world, not in my world, nowhere. But then...you were not in my world either.

The very hope that inspired your young friend to act against me. That same hope that sent him into a nameless oblivion. Someday you will accept that the darkness has snuffed out the proverbial candle, your hope, and every star left in the sky.

Wind will meet the walls of the Dark and will die out in its attempts to overcome a power deemed eternal. Water will be appropriately caged, used only as this power sees fit. Earth will be reshaped, molded into a far more acceptable image for the sake of Dark, Light, Nothing, Everything. One point of origin, one thousand points of rebirth.

Light your candle if you like, but I would advise you to do so only as an act of mourning for the lives that have been and will again be forgotten.

[OOC: ButbutIlikeStarWars.]

I am in every world, boy. Only a fool believes otherwise.

I've seen only a part of you. Nothing more. Terra and I protect that world.
