"Truth be told... I don't remember you."
Roxas stared at Namine, unsure of what to do. "Namine...?" His face turned serious. "What do we have to talk about?!" Namine laughed, and jumped off the platform. "This." She pulled out a notebook, and opened it delicately. As she turned to the right page, she showed him the image. It was Roxas, delicately drawn on a cylinder pillar. The pillar's surface showed a brown-haired boy, a duck, a dog, a silver-haired teen and a red-haired girl. "What does this all mean?" Roxas tried to ponder the image when a blast of water popped from his feet. "?!" Roxas looked down at his feet, seeing a pool of water, and deeper he could see the familiar silhouette of the cylinder pillar. Water engulfed him, descending him into the water towards the pillar. Namine held her hands together nervously as a hooded man appeared behind her. Grabbing her, they disappeared in a black dust, which was all he could see before his memories completely disappated in the water.
Roxas awoke near the bottom of the sea, the hole he left from completely undetectable. Landing on his feet upon the familiar pillar structure, he saw that it was black. As he took his first steps, a bright light was exposed, revealing a vibrant colored pillar that stretched downward for as long as eternity. Seagulls escaped the light, flying majestically far away. Roxas turned to face them, his mind off with the seagulls, free with flight as they faded into the murky waters. "Where... am... I?" Roxas spoke to himself, aware that this seemed exactly alike to his dream. He turned to the right, a silver majestical sword hovering over a gold pedestal. Turning to the center, the pedestal ascended again, except its weapon was a mystic blue staff that lingered above. Finally, he turned left, where the pedestal drifted a valiant shield. Each was brightly shown in a flash of light that had an unknown source.
What you choose.. will forever decide the fate of your life. But your life... is not as you wanted it to be. The sword caught his attention, and he immediately walked in front of it, examining it. The knight's sword... a powerful weapon, a heroic battler. Roxas lost interest and turned to the staff. Carefully approaching it, he eyed the magical item. The magician's staff... a power of destruction, an intellectual intrigue. As he shifted to the shield, the words of the weapon dangled in his mind, leaving a lingering impact. The guardian's shield... protection against all, a defender of justice. Roxas began to think before choosing a weapon. After much thought, he grabbed his choice: the defender's shield. The pedestals were vanquished, leaving him to the cylinder portal. With no way to escape, he charged towards the tip of the pillar, before staggering away as a behemothic silver beast rose from the depths. His shield glistened as he began battle with the argent enemy.
Roxas started by jumping onto the beast's hand, slashing and hacking until he met the shoulder. The beast was quick to fight, trying to grab Roxas as he ascended and descended the creature. There is futility in your actions... Words burned into Roxas' skull as he fought. In the end, you will be the one to fall into oblivion. Roxas swiped at the foot but missed. Do not be afraid... life is meaningless if you cannot remember. Roxas turned angry, furiously pounding the beast as it spoke. But that is not all... He was propelled by a beam into the cylinder pillar, the beast ready to kill him. You exist... because of someone else. You are nothing.. but a remnant of what is truly important. Roxas immediately got up, and pounced on the beast. Everything else didn't matter except the monster. Roxas wanted to kill him.. kill him because he knew it was inevitable.
Roxas had pestered the beast until its last moment, but when Roxas tried to finish the monster, his shield disappeared in a flash of light. Dropping to his knees, Roxas looked up at the enemy. Emotionless, it had regained its energy and prepared to attack. Silver vines trapped Roxas into being unable to escape as the fiend prepared to kill Roxas. The seas around him turned pitch black as Roxas began to feel faint. The monstrocity stood in front of him before Roxas completely blacked out.
