Secret Ansem Report 6

My choice to befriend darkness here in the midst of nothingness was a sound

one.

The moment I stared straight ahead with a calm heart, neither rejecting

darkness nor fearing it, I gained a newfound power.

A superhuman power- the power of darkness.

It is likely Xehanort and the others were enraptured by this power, eventually

becoming its prisoners.

I do not intend to allow my heart to be devoured by the darkness, as they did,

of course.

With this new power, I uncovered a "corridor of darkness" that connects the

realm of nothingness to the outside world. While it is still difficult to come

and go as I please, my banishment is now a thing of the past.

To deceive Xehanort and my apprentices, I first used my power to change form

before returning to the realm of light.

As I had suspected, Xehanort had become a Heartless.

Under my name, he commanded other Heartless in quests to snatch away the

hearts of many different worlds.

At the center of the heart Xehanort has stolen was "Kingdom Hearts," which

attracts tremendous darkness itself and attempts to send any and all matter

back into its depths.

The other five have disappeared. Have they become Heartless, like Xehanort?

Or did they vanish after Xehanort exploited them?

I became familiar with an unusual "entity" while pursuing the truth.

It is the soul and body that remain when a being loses its heart.

When a Heartless is born, these entities disappear from the realm of light, to

be reborn as entirely new beings in an completely different realm.
