~- When Darkness Falls -~
Fire. Smoke. The screaming cries of innocent people. All filled the air with the sounds and smell of the destruction of lives.
Many tried to run. They were cut down before they had gone a dozen paces. Others attempted to fight for their homes; they lasted longer, but not by much. Always, without fail, they were overwhelmed by the overflowing forces of the Darkness.
Of the Evil.
A short twelve hours before, not a soul had known what was coming for them. The world of Nyte, inhabited by a peaceful race known as Vampyrs, had been as many other worlds just half a day ago. It had its share of adventurous children and star-crossed lovers; an occasional law-breaker had been the worst the Vampyrs had to deal with. Most of the world was covered in lush grasslands and dense forests; providing abundant prey for the blood drinkers. Life had been routine and ordinary. It had been safe.
But no more.
Through the darkening smoke, the fire cast light across a pale face, causing the eyes to shine a bright, blood red. Framed by a long curtain of pitch-black hair, the face held an unearthly, terrifying beauty. But it was also cold, colder than the grave. Slowly, a twisted smile appeared on the crimson lips as she stared down the six Vampyrs that stood before her.
"We know what you seek. Begone, foul creature! Go back to the Darkness from which you came!"
Her eyes snapping to the Vampyr that had spoken, the Soulless, for she was indeed, purred sweetly, "If you know what I'm here for, why do you fight me? Give me what I seek, and your lives shall end quickly and free of pain. Refuse, and I shall destroy you in the most painful way possible, and what Keybladers there are among you I shall have as my underlings!"
With a defiant oath, the man attacked her. Summoning a scythe, she quickly cut him down; then, making good on her promise, she struck out at four of the others, making quick work of them as she dealt fatal blows.
The final Vampyr was a boy of only fourteen years. Seeing the weapon in his hands, the Shade grinned and spoke, "You shall become a fine warrior. Come, O Keybearer; cast off your former life and join me!"
The boy gave a single scream as he convulsed. A moment later, what appeared to be his twin stood by his side; it was actually a Soulless, born from his Heart. A satisfied smirk on her face, the girl said, "Kill him."
And the boy's Soulless did; he slew his Light.
Her way now unobstructed, she continued toward her goal: A large monument in the shape of a sickle moon. Reaching the statue, she took a moment to admire the enormous blue sapphire. Then, with a violent motion, she ripped the jewel off its pedestal.
Holding it in front of her for a moment, her smile become a savage leer as she hissed, "With the Heart of Nyte now in my possession, I have begun my war. Let all who hear the name Masquerade quake in fear, for it shall be the last thing they hear before they are destroyed!"
With a single, swift motion, she crushed the sapphire moon, obtaining the world's Heart in the process. Giving a single, keening cry, she ordered her forces away from the world. Opening a portal, Masquerade and the boy stepped through it, leaving behind the once beautiful world of Nyte to fade into Darkness.
The battle for Kingdom Hearts had begun.
