[/color][/size][/div] So, I've finally figured out my life. Well, something like that. Ever since Butterfly Cavern was taken over by the Heartless, I've not really been sure what to do with myself. I remember it very clearly. It was on my seventeenth birthday. The sun was shining, the ocean was calm, and everyone was happy, but the butterflies were restless. I didn't understand it. They sensed what none of the citizens could have. I was running on the beach with my big, fat old dog - his name was Furor - and I remember that I fell down, tripped up by the root of a tree in the ground. I landed on my face, and when I looked up Furor was barking and his fur was bristling. Furor was very old. He was blind, but he could see what was coming. I looked out on the horizon and the blackest, most ominous clouds I'd seen in my entire life were rolling in faster than a hurricane.
Before I could get to my feet, this small, scraggly-looking black thing with long, crimped antennae appeared out of nowhere, and its beady eyes instantly locked on me. I scrambled back, but before I could even scream it had lunged at me. It was the most intense pain I had ever felt, but it had lasted only a second and then everything faded to black. That nasty little Shadow had taken my heart, and I didn't even get to put up a fight. I survived it because I have a strong will - I know it. I was always stubborn. No one could control me. No one could tell me what to do. Ever. I was the freest spirit you would ever meet, and not even death or the Heartless were going to keep me down. So I know what I am now. I'm a Nobody. I was once called Elaine, but why not follow the other Nobodies' examples? My name is Elixean, and Darkness can't tie me down.
So I knew what I was and who I was and how and why I was, but I wasn't entirely sure where I was or how much time had passed since the Butterfly Cavern - and therefore, myself - had died. I wandered for a while, and that's when I discovered that I could travel through corridors of Darkness. Okay, so the "where" was no longer important; I could be anywhere that I wanted to be. The next most important thing was how much time had passed, but at this point I didn't care. I was Elixean. I was a Nobody. I could be anywhere I wanted. I was forever seventeen. Oh, and I could control wind. So where does that leave me now? That leaves me anywhere I want to go, and I'm going to go everywhere. It won't be long and I'll be off on my own adventures, stirring up trouble, because that's who I am. Say hello to destiny!

[/color][/size][/div] I hadn't realized how much I'd forgotten about being a regular ol' human. It's like when I became a Nobody, I changed completely. I'd forgotten who I used to be. But I was laying on a beach - I forget which world I was in - and suddenly I remembered.
I know my name was Elaine. I never forgot about that. What I did forget, however, was what I looked like. Like I said, I was just laying on the beach. And then I had something like a flashback, but it was an out of body experience or something like that. I suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe - like my lungs were restricted. Crushed. I shot up and I was back home. Back on Butterfly Cavern. Had all that time, me being a Nobody, been a dream? I stood up and ran to the water. I was amazed. That had been one heck of a dream. I looked at my hands, hoping to see my own skin before me, but instead my palms were tattooed with the Nobody symbol. I let out a cry of shock, but this voice wasn't my own. It was still Elixean's. I was still Elixean.
I looked around wildly. I could see several people, but none of them could see me. They looked right through me. They hadn't even heard the scream. I started to remember these people. One of them was named Michael; he'd shown up exactly a year before the Heartless destroyed my world. Then there was Ethan, a long-time friend. There was Marie, but I didn't care much for her. My parents and a few other kids from school were there, too, and they were all playing. They had all forgotten me. But I remembered them. And because I remembered them, I remembered myself. I looked into the ocean and it was a broken mirror; I had brown hair and blue eyes, but my markings were still there, and the Nobody symbols on my palms were still there. How was this possible? Why was I having this dream? I don't know what it means, but maybe someday I'll find myself again.
