Shedding Starlight

A young boy ripped in two by his master; a violent beginning to a twisting story. Ventus and Vanitas are two beings derived from the same heart, one of pure light, and one of pure dark. But, was this fate specifically designed for Ventus? Could this separation have happened to anyone?

The Ocean Between. Keyblades. The Lanes Between. The X-blade. The crossroads. The Keyblade War. Xehanort has always been a scholar; we've seen this since the first game in the series. Legends of the war over light have filled his head with ideas of a better world... is that what he's really after?
