Seth moved back from the window and smiled before he gave the thumbs up to the woman inside. She rolled her eyes and walked off. Seth laughed as he knelt down and placed the tools he had used to fix the window back into the tool box. When he stood back up there was a flash of light and he was suddenly flung backwards. After a few seconds of lying on the ground he began to slowly stand up. He looked towards the building and his eyes widened. He fell to his knees and watched the orphanage be engulfed in flames. That’s when he saw the cloaked figure standing in front of the building, laughing as his arms were raised.

“Can you hear it?” the man asked before he turned to Seth and continued, “The symphony of angels singing into the night. It’s so glorious!” after the man said that, Seth heard the sounds of all the people trapped inside the orphanage screaming in pain as the flames burned them alive. He covered his ears, but the screams bypassed his hands and echoed through his ears. Seth stood up and glared at the hooded man before summoning his Keyblade.

“You did this,” Seth growled before he screamed, “You made me lose all my friends and family!” Seth rushed towards the man and swung his Keyblade and severed the torso from the man’s legs. Seth turned to watch the man fall, but started to step back as shadow tendrils rushed from the bottom half of the man and pulled his torso towards his legs and reconnected them together. 

“Really?” the hooded man questioned as he turned to face Seth and added, “You think you can simply end me with my own body?” Seth shook his head and stood his ground before he rushed towards them man again.

“I will destroy you! So no one else can suffer the same fate I have,” Seth yelled as he swung his Keyblade again. This time the man simply smiled and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Seth franticly looked around and yelled, “Show yourself coward! Don’t think you can run back to your comrades because I’ll find the rest of them and destroy them!” the man simply chucked as he reappeared behind Seth. Seth spun around and swung his Keyblade, but the hooded man simply caught the Keyblade.

“Who are you to change this world silly boy?” the hooded figure said before he let go of Seth’s Keyblade and spun around. He kicked Seth in the stomach and sent him backwards. Seth slid back and clutched his abdomen before he glared back at the hooded man as he continued, “No need to hear your words.” The man lifted up his hands as snake like tendrils lifted out of his shadow.

“So let it go and become what you were born to be!” the man shouted as the snake like tendrils shot towards Seth. Seth weaved and dodged the tendrils as he ran towards the man. Seth swung a third time, but the man was able to side step Seth and rip his Keyblade from his hands before he grabbed Seth by his neck and slammed him to the ground. The tendrils slithered back towards the hooded figure and hovered behind him. The man stepped on Seth’s chest as Seth tried to summon his Keyblade back to his hand, but it stayed in the man’s hands.

“What? You want this?” the man asked as he looked from the Keyblade in his hand to Seth and laughed before he added, 

“Why not become what you were born to be? What you were destined to be?” the man then took off his hood and smiled ad Seth with a sadistic crooked smile.

“You’re, you’re,” Seth stuttered as the man he was looking at was himself in the black cloak.

“What, where you expecting to see someone else? Were do you think your Keyblade comes from?” his nightmare self said before he continued, “I am the manifestation of your heart and your Keyblade, but you’re not following that set path. So I should guide you there!” Seth’s nightmare self lifted up the Keyblade and jabbed it into Seth’s chest.

Seth shot up in the bed in a cold sweat. He quickly checked his chest to find nothing there. He took a deep breath and sighed, “What the hell was that all about?” [i]the hell do I know? All I did was walk through your memories while you slept. I might have opened up the wrong door[/i] the voice explained.

“Yeah, you think!” Seth yelled. [i]Not my fault your memories are twisted into nightmares. Besides, what the hell would you have me do while you sleep? Look at the empty void on nothingness. That’s so boring! At least when you’re awake, I can watch the world through your eyes[/i] the voice said.

“Just stay out of that memory ok,” Seth said. The voice said nothing and Seth sighed, “I’ll take that as a yes.” Seth shifted towards the edge of the bed and stood up. Guess while I’m up, I’ll grab a bit to eat Seth thought.
