The New Dawn 4: Attack of the Final Star

Siah shook her head "I wish I could remember, mom. All I know is that we were supposed to die but something intervined and then some lady told us that we had proven ourselves worthy of our destiny to unlock the keyhole of light and restore peace to all of the worlds."

 

Siah nodded and wandered upstairs to her room after telling her parents and brother goodnight. After taking a quick shower and changing into her PJs she walked over to the window, finding it hard to sleep even though she was tired. "What exactly is it that that woman wanted Calder and I to do if we dont even know what keyhole we need to be finding?" she said to herself, frustrated. She brushed through her damp hair with her hand absent mindedly before she turned away from the window and climbed into bed. She was asleep before her head even hit the pillow.

Raven nodded "I've thought the same thing but Jaxx did say one lie. I've been stuck on Destiny Island for the past two years remember? I found this place a long time before now more around the time just after Vanquish fused darkness in your heart. But to answer your question, it's possible because we are currently standing on a world that really doesn't exist just like the World that Never was only more factual." she glared, wondering how on earth she was going to explain this.

Jaxx answered Coldex with a expressionless face "Good news, I figured out a way to destroy your wife's light side as well as all of the other light leaving only darkness giving you and Nerazza an eternity to continue the royal blood line without any more interruptions from the light knights."

 

Jaxx smiled "Actually it was Brakdern's idea. Nerazza's family history is really a facinating one, I found his research in his room." she handed Coldex a book that was full of writing in Brakdern's handwriting. Some of the pages were in different handwriting and appeared to be really old. "But to answer your question, its simple. We find the place where Brakdern's greatest grandfather created the keyhole of midnight but actually thats where it gets tough because not just any old Jake or Steve can find it."

Siah heard Calder and turned to see him standing there, the two of them a space that looked very similar to where she and Calder had found themselves earlier when they had talked to Harmony "Calder?" she said but then she smiled "That is really you right?"

 

Jaxx smiled "I thought you would say that." she said "I'll save you the trouble of reading it just because I think it would be more fun and fast to summarize. Nerazzas greatest ancestor was the dark counterpart of the first keyblade chosen weilder that history has ever known. His light side, a man named Brandon, accidently got too worked up in the darkness and actually created a dark copy of himself that was called Brakdern. Brakdern had ideas for the world around him that he couldn't just forget. THe problem was that Brandon didn't see things the way Brakdern did and tried to stop him. The two counterparts actually started the first war that involved all of the worlds at once. In the end, Brandon and the light worlds won the war and Brakdern was destroyed but not without giving his great grandchildren the chance to continue his work. With his last bit of power he locked up all of the power of darkness within the hearts of himself and his children and his bloodline to come. The way to unlock that darkness to the rest of the worlds was a keyhole that he left on the world that he was born. After Brandon saw what Brakdern had done he killed Brakdern and tried to undo what his counterpart had done but it was too late. Brandon then gave up his life to try to put as much light as he could into Brakdern's creation: The keyhole of midnight. But his creation backfired and an exact opposite effect was created and the keyhole of eternal light was made on the same world."
she shook her head "There is more to the story but thats basicly the end of the story. The Brakdern we knew was named after his great grandfather and their goals were the same up until the point when the world that held the two keyholes was said to be destroyed but I think that those rumors are wrong. If I am correct, then Voltiar is getting the answer for us right now and he doesn't even know it."

Siah smiled "Well this is new... It must be what Harmony was talking about. We really are connected." she said, "This is amazing. Do you think it will always be this strong?"

 

Siah smiled "I guess so" she said, blushing a little remembering that she was engaged. "So what do you want to talk about about that? I thought we already had everything figured out."

 

Raven sighed and shook her head "Thats not what I mean. I mean, Voltiar. The City of Dawn... the place that we thought we grew up has been destroyed since before we were born. This is what it looked like when we were children. This is what it always looked like for nearly hundreds of years now. Everything we thought we knew was real." She was walking forward as she was talking little by little. When she spoke again her back was turned to Voltiar "Take a look at that picture Jaxx gave you again." She said, already regretting it but it was about time he saw things the way they really were. The picture had changed almost to match the city around them. The background which was once Raven's back yard with a swingset transformed to match the surroundings that Voltiar and Raven were in now and the swingset was now a broken tree house. The only two in the picture were Raven and Voltiar and their appearences hadn't changed at all.

Siah nodded "I agree with you." she said "I dont want my parents to know just yet... they've been through enough."

Jaxx shrugged "Just thought that would be interesting information for you especially seeing as your son may be the only one who can unlock the door to eternal darkness."

 

Raven glared, "Not... exactly." she gave up on just letting him guess what was going on. She turned to face Voltiar with an unreadable expression "You asked me before where the heart was and how our world turned into one giant nobody. I'm sure you are aware of the history of this place. This was where the first keyblade weider was born and where his dark counterpart created two seprate keyholes that locked away their own hearts which contained either the brightest of all light, or the blackest of all shadow. Both keyholes were locked away in the heart of their home world... this world. But the two keyholes also became a parasite to this world. They took up the entire heart, the world nearly destroyed itself because the power of the two opposites within one heart, even the heart of an entire world, was too great of a contradiction for it to last. As a way to save this world from distruction, Luna took a fraction of both sides of this worlds heart one of light and the other of darkness and placed them into the souls of two people from the world itself." looked away "So to answer your question, the heart is us technically Voltiar. You and I were the two that Luna chose and the rest of this world died but it was our memories of it that kept it alive while we were here." she glared, it had been so easy to understand when her father had explained it to her before when she found it before but now she wasn't so sure. "We weren't halucinating our lives in the middle of ruins, we created a world of beauty out of our memories because we controlled this world once even though to any outsider it would have looked the same way that you see it now. It was a responsibility we were unaware of, but one all the same that we were the ones to keep this world alive until one of the ancestors of Brandon or Brakdern would come and unlock one of the doors but after Brakdern sent so much darkness all at once here, the imbalance was created again and for a moment it ceaced to exist which is why you could never find it nor I. I am still not sure how it came back." she shook her head "I guess thats just a miracle but whatever the case is, this world has returned and with it, so did the doors." she sighed "But that answers all of our questions a like. Thats why Vanquish's darkness fused with your heart so well its because resting in your heart was already the darkness from this world that Luna placed in you to save it. And thats why this worlds heart is gone because we hold the heart of this world and we left it." she shook her head "I dont even know if we have the power to bring it back anymore but one fact stands: we are the only ones that can reveal the doors to light and darkness." she looked away "I should have told you sooner but this was a lot for me to take in when I was told about it. I was hoping I never had to tell you but I dont think I have taht option anymore."

Siah woke up at the same time Calder had. She stood up and quickly got dressed. Knowing him, he was probably on his way over to her house at the same time. SHe decided to meet him on the way.
