"You have arrived. I've been to see him... he looks a lot like you.", said a man in a black cloak to another, younger male in the same cloak.

"Who are you?", replied the boy.

"I'm what's left... or maybe I'm all there ever was.", the man said.

"I meant your name.", the boy said curtly.

"...My name is of no importance. What about you? Do you remember your true name?", the man asked.

"My true name is... Sora"

Xaon listened from afar, hidden in shadow. "An interesting turn of events... It seems my plan to turn the keybearer into a Heartless did produce the desired effects, even though he was able to reclaim his heart...", he whispered to himself. With a wave of his left hand, he produced a blinding white portal to Transient Town. "Fare thee well... Shadow of Sora.", he whispered as he disappeared into the light, which faded away after he left.

A bright flash illuminated a room in the Forgotten Sanctuary, in the center of the world lost in the Ęther between reality and dreams... Transient Town.

"Hey boss. Does he still have the power of Sora?", asked Xiam, without looking at him. The large monitor before her had her complete attention.

Xaon nodded. "Yes. However, I am unaware how the continued existance of Sora will affect him. But for the time being, Sora's Shadow posesses the power of the Keyblade's chosen... how goes your project?", he asked, changing the subject.

"Oh, you know. Still just adding in some memories to make her a bit more interesting. She's like a blank template for a person now... It's kinda creepy to be in a room with her.", she answered.
