@darkbcrn asked to be shown anguish
It had been sometime since the original Xehanort was defeated, from when his other selves had merged with him in Scala Ad Caelum and he was stopped by Sora and his friends. However, in the hearts of some, a fragment of his heart remained, slumbering as it had done it’s purpose for the clash between light and darkness. However, now that the true heart had been gone for sometime, the fragments were gaining their own sense of self, reflective of Xehanort before his defeat.
However, his power, his influence was still weak, for while he had influenced his vessels enough for the eventual clash of light and darkness, it had not been enough to fully dominate someone like with Terra. But that would change, now that he was aware of himself, he would claim this vessel as his own.
“Hello...Vanitas...” The words were faint in Vanitas’s mind, but just enough for the young man to hear him. And only would Vanitas hear him, Xehanort would not dare risk anyone else catching on to his return.
