Surrounded by Shadows The air grows cold and heavy around you. A faint whistling wind carries an unnatural chill as purple-black mist begins to seep from the ground in wisps

Sssshhhhhh...

The sound comes from nowhere and everywhere at once - a soft, menacing hiss that makes your skin crawl

Yellow eyes begin to pierce through the gathering darkness. One pair. Then two. Then five

Skitter... skitter... skitter...

Small Shadow Heartless emerge from pools of darkness, their movements unnaturally fluid as they glide across the ground. Their yellow eyes glow like malevolent stars in the growing gloom

"Kssssshhhh... kssssshhhh..."

They're circling you now. The soft scraping of their movements on stone mingles with their eerie whispers. Seven... eight... ten of them, their antennae twitching as they sense the light in your heart

Scratch... scratch... tap tap tap...

Their clawed hands drag across the ground as they tighten the circle, yellow eyes never blinking, never looking away. The temperature drops another degree

"Hearrrrrt... hearrrrrt..."

One of them tilts its head, that haunting whisper-hiss growing louder. They're getting bolder now, creeping closer. The circle grows smaller

The darkness around them seems to pulse like a heartbeat

Thump-thump... thump-thump...

Your heart pounds as you realize - they're drawn to that very sound. And there's nowhere left to run

The yellow eyes begin to glow brighter, and their whispers become a chorus

"Sssssurrender... to the darknessssss...
