-Ansem's Report 5-
To study the Heartless behavior, I picked one out for observation. It
wiggled its antennae and, as if sensing a target, headed deep into the
castle.
In the deepest part of the castle, its antennae began vibrating, as if
searching for something. Suddenly, a strange door appeared. I'd never
known of its existence.
I had a large keyhole, but didn't seem to be locked. SO I opened the
door.
What I saw on the other side mystified me.
What was that powerful mass of energy. That night I observed a great
meteor shower in the sky.
Could it be related to the door that I have opened?
-Ansem's Report 6-
A massive core of energy lay beyond the door sought by the Heartless.
It may be the ultimate goal of the Heartless. But what is that energy?
I have devised a hypothesis, based upon my observations of the
Heartless.
The Heartless feed on other's hearts, and they yearn for that energy
core. That thing beyond the door must be a heart, too--the heart of
this world. There is no proof, but, having felt that immense energy, I
am certain. That was the heart of the world.
The Heartless are trying to take hearts not only from all living
creatures, but from the planet itself. But what do they mean to do with
the heart of the world?
-Ansem's Report 7-
I am studying material from the meteors that rained down that fateful
night. What a find! The material is foreign to our world. It is elastic
to the touch, and when two pieces are combined, they bond easily.
None of the records even mention such a substance. Was it introduced
to this world when I opened the door? I wonder how many other such
materials drift through the atmosphere of this tiny world... I wish I
could soar off and find out!
Could there be uncharted worlds up there? My curiosity never ceases to
grow. But I should stop speaking of such unrealistic dreams. For now,
there is no way to venture outside this world. My people and I are all
but prisoners of this tiny place.
-Ansem's Report 8-
There is no doubt that the Heartless are deeply connected to the
people's hearts. Further study may unravel both their motivations and
the mysteries shrouding the heart. As a start, I have built a device
that artificially creates Heartless.
By recreating the conditions that spawn the Heartless naturally, I
should be able to produce them artificially. This device is the
culmination of all my research thus far. The machine's test run
successfully created a Heartless. This may be a step toward creating a
heart from nothing.
The artificially and naturally created Heartless showed nearly
identical traits. But the two types remain distinct for the purpose of
the experiment. So, I will mark the ones that are created artificially.
-Ansem's Report 9-
Simple astonishing! Today I had a guest from another world. He is a
king, and his vessel is built of the material that composed the
meteors. He called the pieces "gummi blocks." It seemed that my opening
the door has opened a path to interworld travel.
We talked for countless hours, but one story in particular caught my
interest: that of a key called the "Keyblade." The Keyblade is said to
hold phenomenal power. One legend says its wielder saved the world,
while another says that he wrought chaos and ruin upon it.
I must know what this Keyblade is. A key opens doors. It must be
connected to the door I have opened.
