As such, she expresses her will to try and persuade Gula to dissolve their alliance. Ira asserts that alliances are forbidden by the Master, and Invi agrees that the Master's teachings are absolute. Ira believes that Aced is the traitor after all, but Invi disputes this, saying that to Aced, unification is a means of gathering strength to fight the darkness, and therefore, she believes that his heart still belongs to the light. Invi replies, based on an assumption of hers, that Aced's and Gula's Unions are now allied. Once she is left alone again, Ava thinks aloud, saying that she would be glad to leave the world in the hands of the children who see the world in the same way Ephemer does.īack at the Foretellers' Chambers in the Clock Tower, Ira asks if Invi has learned anything. Ava tells Ephemer to go home and get some sleep, and Ephemer tells Ava to cheer up. Ephemer tells her that he met a friend from another Union, and that they will meet again the next day. After trading jibes, Ava expresses how great it would be if all the Unions could work together and be friends. She expresses her belief that people should question things and think critically, leading Ephemer to remark that Ava is not herself. Ephemer wonders if it is not simply because the Master said so, but Ava questions this, making reference to Ephemer's desire to solve the mysteries of this world. Ava reminds him about a question he once asked her, about why the Unions compete against each other. Some time after this meeting, Ava sits alone at the Fountain Square, worried that the Foretellers might turn against each other. Invi, whom Aced had invited to their meeting, has deepening suspicions of Aced after he explains to her that he wants to form an alliance.
Ava witnesses this in horror, as this goes against the Master's teachings. Gula makes clear that he does not want any of his Union members involved, and that the alliance is just between the two Foretellers. Aced is the primary suspect, and it is soon discovered this was not foretold in the Book of Prophecies written by the Master, even though the latter had previously warned the Foretellers about the implications of the appearance of a dark Chirithy: if the rogue Chirithy is not stopped, it will plant darkness in the hearts of others, causing the appearance of a horde of Nightmares.Īced convinces Gula to form an alliance with him so that they can fight the encroaching darkness together, even though alliances are forbidden. This suggests someone has submitted to darkness and a traitor is present.
The last apprentice, Luxu, was tasked with watching his companions from a distance as they learned what they were meant to do. Foreteller Invi is given the task of observing the other apprentices fairly, Foreteller Aced is tasked with supporting their leader Ira (a task that Aced reluctantly accepts, as it is no secret to the Master that he is eyeing the leadership for himself), Foreteller Ava is charged with preparing exceptional Keyblade wielders for the world to come, and Foreteller Gula is given the role of uncovering the mysteries of the Book of Prophecies. Ira is left in charge of the other apprentices. The Master acquiesces to Ira's pleading, gives his disciples unique roles and instructs them to form Unions comprised of other Keyblade wielders. A desperate Ira insists that they should at least try to save the world, and believes that they might be able to do so with enough Keyblade wielders. In his discussion with one of his apprentices, Foreteller Ira, the Master of Masters states that the end of the world is inevitable. A devastating conflict has been foreseen, and the world's end is imminent. Long ago, in the "age of fairy tales," the world's light is protected by seven individuals who reside in Daybreak Town and wield unique weapons called " Keyblades": the Master of Masters and his six apprentices.
