In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

Shiro walked through the streets of Traverse Town, he had to think. Recently, he heard a rumor of a funeral that was supposed to happen that day when he was buying some fruit. One woman liked to talk, and he happened to standing near her. It was the funeral of the old man that died from the heartless a while ago.
"Should I go...? Or not...?" he thought to himself. He then thought about his sword. "Its his sword, the last thing he would probably need to be at peace... But... This is the only thing that keeps me safe at the moment. I give it up, I'm weaponless."
It was a hard desicion. He heard that the funeral was going to start at 6:00, which was in two hours. He had to decide, fast. He then walked over to a random bench. He took off his backpack, and took out his sword. He then sat down and rested his sword on the ground. He simply stared at it.
"Its the right thing to do... I have to do it before I try to find a way out of here." he said quietly. He then stood up, put his backpack back on, then picked up his sword. He knew what he had to do. He then started to walk to the Traverse Town graveyard. (Okay, I don't know if there is a graveyard or not, but I think there would be, cause where are they gonna put all the dead people, right?)
V dashed through the large, wooden doors into Traverse Town.
"Crap!" she shouted still running, Shira's voice rung through her head.
"How could you lose the keys to the gummi ship!?" she shouted.
"I know! I know!" V replied, "I guess it fell out of my pocket, when I went into that item shop."
V then had a slight flashback, before leaving Traverse Town she decided to stock up on potions. Unfortunately when she went to pay though, she couldn't get her wallet out at first. She kept on trying to reach her mummy through all the stuff she had in get pocket...through that her keys must of fallen out.
V shook her head, "Idiot! Idiot!" she thought.
While she was insulting herself, V suddenly accidently bumped into somebody. She fell to the ground, and forgetting all train of thought snapped back into reality. She looked up at the person she bumped into, at first she thought the figure was another stranger; but then looking closely she realized the person was Shiro!
"Shiro!" she shouted excitedly, she got back up in her feet then brushing herself off from dust turned towards her dear friend.
"Sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going." she said smiling, "but i'm happy to see you again, I guess our next meeting came sooner then expected."
"I wonder what happens at a funeral..." he thought. He had never been to a funeral, he wished he did though, he wished he went to his parents' funeral. Maybe they didn't have a funeral, he hoped they did though. He really wished he had his memory back. Maybe he did go to his parents' funeral, but didn't remember it. He continued to think about that, until someone bumped into him. Thankfully, it didn't knock him down.
"Shiro!"
That voice. He only knew one person who sounded like that. His friend, V. He turned around to see V brushing herself off.
"Sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going." she said smiling, "but i'm happy to see you again, I guess our next meeting came sooner then expected."
Well, maybe for V, but it felt much longer for Shiro. He knew the real amount of time was around a month, but he didn't really keep track. For him, it felt like it was a year. Shiro thought of something. V was the only one who knew about his memory, wait. No, Ravian knew as well. Maybe he could play a joke on her.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know who you are. Who is this Shiro you speak of?" he replied with his normal calm tone. His calm tone came in handy when he lied. No one could tell the difference when he lied and telled the truth. It would be very hard to tell if he was lieing or not.
After a few seconds, he couldn't help it, he put a smile on his face. "Nah, I'm kidding. I'll always know who you are, V." he added.

"Im sorry I don't know who you are who is this Shiro you speak of?"
V's heart sank a little, not know who she was? did Shiro lose his memories...AGAIN? She was silent for awhile, then as secounds went by Shiro put on a smile.
"Nah I'm kidding. I'll always know who you are, V." he said.
V was dumbfounded at first, but then she sighed in relief. "Oh you!" she said laughing, she poked him in the arm. "That was mean."
She smiled, then hugging Shiro she again said. "Its good to see you again."
"Oh you!" she said laughing, she poked him in the arm. "That was mean."
Shiro really missed her pokes. He really missed her.
She smiled, then hugging Shiro she again said. "Its good to see you again."
"I know it was mean... Its just been a while since the last time you poked me." he replied with a smile. "Its good to see you too. I just wished that it was under better circumstances... I'm going to a funeral."
His smile disapeared when he said the word, "funeral". "Funeral" was the last word he wanted to say. Though, he was glad that he was going to a funeral of someone he didn't know.
V was surprised as Shiro told her he was going to a funeral.
"Oh..." she replied, "Im sorry, did someone you know die?"
her smile turned into a concerned look, she hated to hear sad news. But worst she hated it, when her friends were hurt; and the one thing she didn't want was Shiro to be sad.
"No, I do not. I have to return something probably special to him." he said as he looked at the ground. "Maybe I shouldn't go to the funeral. I don't think I would belong there... What do you think? Should I go or should I return it after the funeral is over."
Shiro was quiet for a few seconds, but then he realized that he had forgot to tell her who it was. "Remember that night, the last time we saw each other. Its the man's funeral. The man who was attacked by the heartless. I have to return his sword. Its the right thing to do."
Was it the right thing to do? Yes, it was, and he knew that.
V was silent as she listened to Shiro's words, the old man that one night...so his funeral was today. She looked at the sword neatly tucked on Shiro's side, that day the sword actually helped Shiro and her fend of the heartless. In Shiro's hands it seemed like the perfect weapon for him, but as he said that was someone else'e belonging and not his.
She smiled up at him, and grasping his hand nodded. "I think you know...that the right thing is to give that sword back to that man. And don't worry, if you don't feel that confident Ill be there."
She let go of him, "I have nothing else better to do today anyway." she added, totally forgetting the main reason why she rushed back. "So let's go!"
"Okay, follow me." he replied as he started to walk. He walked a few steps, then suddenly, he stopped. He turned around and looked at V. "Thanks, V." he added with a small smile. He turned around and started to walk to the grave yard.
(EDITED)
(Okay, so I'm guessing nothing happened on their way to the graveyard)
When he entered the graveyard, there was about an hour left until it started. Few people were there, there was an old lady, probably the wife of the old man, and a couple with their two kids, probably the old man's son or daughter with his/her family.
As Shiro walked down to the coffin, he felt bad. The old lady was staring at him like he did something wrong. The kids were watching him as they whispered to each other. The parents of the kids just looked at him. When he reached the coffin, he gently placed the sword on top of the coffin. He then quickly walked back and out of the graveyard, ignoring all that was around him. He then lied his back against a random building. He closed his eyes and thought about how they looked at him. Was he the reason the old man was dead? No, the heartless were. Or was it not? Maybe he was distracted when they arrived. Maybe he gave up, because he thought they were going to fail. Maybe it was all his fault...
"V, do you think I was the bad guy?" he said quietly. He didn't know if V was around him or not, but his eyes were closed, so he guessed that she was. "Do you think it was all my fault? I was there when he died. I could've saved him. I failed..."

V was indeed with him, she saw the looks of the other people at the funeral and sighed. How judgmental people could be...her thoughts were then interrupted as Shiro spoke.
"V, do you think I was the bad guy?" he asked.
V's eyes widened, "what?" she replied.
"Do you think it was all my fault? I was there when he died. I couldve saved him. I failed..." he added.
"Shiro..." she muttured, she grabbed his hand. "It wasn't your fault, the heartless killed him not you. His death had nothing to do with you. Look..."
She lifted his head so that his eyes met hers, "We're all ment to die...it's just something we can't resist no matter how we try. Plus...didn't you tell me that when you tried, he denied your help? I think he must of known it was his time..."
Shiro simply looked into her eyes as she spoke. She was good at making him feel better, but there was still something that troubled him.
"V... Its not just that, V. Its that sound that has been in my head ever since that man died. Something puzzles me, V. I'm was with my parents when they died, though I don't remember a thing, yet, I remember the noise. My parents died, I escaped, but I still remember the sound." said Shiro as he thought about it. "I might've been responsible for their death..."
Shiro was scared of the thought. If he was the one responsible... What would that make him? A thief? A criminal? A killer? No, it couldn't be... Did someone erase his memory so that he wouldn't ever find out? He didn't want to think about it anymore, but he couldn't. The idea was stuck in his head.
"A small sound that I cannot explain, but I know I heard it when my father died.(That is in the thread, when Shiro explains his history to V) I think I told you that. Though, it has been a while since I told you..."
Shiro thought about the whole situation. Was he the one responsible? He really hoped not... Though, it did sort of make sense. He wondered about what he might've did. Did he run away when his parents were in danger? Or even worse... Did he kill them...?
"V, honest opinion, please. Do I look like someone that would kill somebody." he said as he looked into her eyes. If he did kill his parents, he knew he didn't deserve to live. Maybe thats why his life was so miserable...
V's face turned to shock, as she heard Shiro's question. "What?" she replied, "are you crazy? No! No you don't."
She hugged him, "you have such a kind heart and soul...I can't imagine you ever killing someone unless it was for something important. What did you have a flashback?"
V was really concerned, she wasn't sure exactly what Shiro was troubled about, but it had to be something big. For his face that always looked so calm, was starting to unravel into...fright? She let go, she wanted to help him.
"What?" she replied, "are you crazy? No! No you don't."
Shiro felt better when he knew that there was atleast someone who would say that was a false statement. Everyone else in the world would think he did.
She hugged him, "You have such a kind heart and soul...I can't imagine you ever killing someone unless it was for something important. What did you have a flashback?"
Shiro questioned that statement. A kind heart and soul? Did he really have that? Most people thought he was emotionless. He started to believe them. He never knew that this one person, could change that thought, and make his life worth living.
"No... Its just a thought. A thought that scares me... If you don't think I would, I believe you. I just want you to know that I would only kill someone for one reason only." he replied with a small smile.
