returntodarkness: (♥ Welcome the darkness into you)
[personal profile] returntodarkness
[He had been imprisoned many time before. He had been trapped in the form of a human and took the necessary steps to free his heart of the boundaries and limitations of a slowly--or was it rapidly?--decaying body. He had then started as human-shaped Heartless and then decayed from there into a shadow of his former glory--so weak he could barely manage to move freely between worlds, and was drained simply by talking. After that, he found himself imprisoned in a boy's heart, and finally, after escaping that prison, trapped once more within darkness. And now, he finds himself trapped within this world of Luceti, wings connected to his back that feel quite awkward given the composition of his own body. And no known escape. That in itself is an exhausting idea, and had he not been rendered weak by lack of a proper meal he would still feel rather tired just from all of this information and being trapped. So he doesn't even bother showing himself when he makes his grand entrance.]

It would seem that Fate is indeed a cruel mistress. From one prison to another, brought here to be naught more then some plaything for experimentation.

[It's not very fun, after all, when the scientist is on the other end of the microscope.]

All worlds begin in darkness and all so end. That is the one truth that matters. All else means little in the grand scheme of things. There are many worlds, but all of them will eventually return to the darkness whence they came.

[...And that's really all he has the energy to say for his introduction. Though some of the people here will easily recognize it.]

The "ride" does little but give one momentary satisfaction and gratification.

When we die, our heart returns to darkness regardless. Struggle as much as you please; in the end, it means nothing.

Yes, many describe a light at the end of the tunnel. But it is oblivion and darkness that awaits us all. The heart returns to the darkest depths, from whence it came.

Oh, but I have seen it before. I have seen a thousand worlds go into the night, devoured by the darkness.

[These are curious statements. It takes him a moment to put together his response. Perhaps there is some truth to his words, but why dwell on it?]

If all worlds return to darkness, what exactly does that mean to you?

From: [identity profile] turntodarkness.livejournal.com
I am one of those who have already returned my heart to darkness. It is my goal to return all worlds to darkness, to enlighten all those who remain ignorant of this truth and all who deny.

[...In other words, he hates that people have differing opinions.]

[The fact that he's so forthcoming with his goals startles the sage a little.]

Return all worlds to darkness...? Why? How will darkness "enlighten" us?

From: [identity profile] turntodarkness.livejournal.com
There are many who seek to eliminate the darkness. It is as necessary, and perhaps far more important than the light.

[Ansem has always been open about his goals.]

It's always darkness with you, isn't it?

[There's a lot of venom in his voice. He's not even gonna try to be cool right now.]

OH, RIKU.

From: [identity profile] turntodarkness.livejournal.com
But of course. You once had similar thoughts, Riku.

[He'd remained cool when he heard Riku's voice. Though he wants nothing more than to crush the boy's heart, he nonetheless decides to speak civilly.]

Or have you forgotten so quickly?

STUBBORN RIKU is very stubborn

Like I'd forget that. But just because I used to think that way doesn't mean I still do.

I've moved on.

How could you say something like that? Sure, darkness is a part of everything, but that doesn't mean it's where everything ends.

[So much wariness on the part of this derp. So, so much.]

From: [identity profile] turntodarkness.livejournal.com
I say it from experience. I have watched as a thousand worlds ended, devoured by the darkness. Such is how all worlds die.

[Be wary all you want, Ventus. It won't change Ansem's opinions ever.]

But just because those worlds disappeared doesn't mean they all will! Darkness isn't everything, and there'll always be a light to shine through the darkness.

[Yes, typical sappy protagonist stuff.]

And people who'll fight to protect their homes.

A world is simply a world, but why not aim to return the entire universe it exists in to a dark? Think of it like this: there are many books in a library, so why only shut one?

Perhaps. Though, it seems, even "nothingness" has some tangible existence.

... No way.. There's not way such a cruel thing could be true, right? Don't they always say that where there's darkness, there's light too? No matter the situation, there's always hope.

Hope is meaningless. It is but a frail notion humans cling to when they do not like the consequences of their own actions or the true outcome of anything.

There's plenty of meaning in hope.. Because of hope, people manage to make it through situations. Because of hope people are able to hold on and keep going on, even when things get tough..

Don't you think that's actually a wonderful thing..?
