Down below, on the bridge out in front of the largest hall of the keep, where the honors and prayers to Shang-qing were performed, a swirling, ovular cloud of shadow appeared, locked in position on the wood below it as a figure in a unique, tightly-worn black coat (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110801173659/kingdomhearts/images/thumb/2/27/Cloak.png/186px-Cloak.png) stepped out of it, a hood pulled up over his head to hide all the features of his face. As the portal of darkness closed behind him, one of the resident monks of the Keep approached the man rather calmly, as if his arrival had been expected. A brief but business-like conversation seemed to take place between the two, ending with the monk bowing his head in respect  and walking off to deliver some new information or another to someone with the power to act on it. Once he was alone, the man in the coat lowered his hood, letting the sun cast upon his lightly orange skin and his silver hair, which hung down upon his shoulders in some places and stuck out from his head like short spikes around his crown. He looked more like the type you would see wandering around the Black Citadel, but perhaps that would play to his advantage in the future. For now, Xemnas' business at the Secret Keep looked like it was only just beginning.
