Quest 1/Script

Prologue

Note: This cutscene is not replayable. [The Book of Prophecies opens, flipping past pages detailing the Heartless to reveal a pop-up scene depicting Kairi picking flowers at Radiant Garden, as her Grandma tales her a tale of the Keyblade War.] "Long ago, people lived in peace, bathed in the warmth of light. Everyone loved the light." [Kairi's Grandma turns away solemnly.] "Then people began to fight over it. They wanted to keep it for themselves." [Kairi stands.] "And darkness was born in their hearts. The darkness spread, swallowing the light, and many people's hearts. It covered everything, and the world disappeared." [Kairi's Grandma turns back to Kairi.] "But small fragments of light survived, in the hearts of children. With these fragments of light, children rebuilt the lost world. It's the world we live in now." [The Book flips back to an earlier page, detailing the Keyblade.] "Look deep inside your heart." [The Book flips to a pop-up scene depicting a Station in The Player's Dive to the Heart.] "This is where your journey begins." [The camera zooms in on the Station, and the scene fades to the game logo.] "Banisher of darkness, gatherer of light—what is your name?" [The Player answers.] "How do you see yourself?" [The Player answers, and awakens at their Dive to the Heart. As they step forward, the sigils of the five Unions materialize around them.] "Which Union does your heart belong to?" [The Player answers. Suddenly, darkness begins to swallow the Station and The Player, but just as they are engulfed, a bright light shines out and banishes the darkness, revealing The Player wielding the Keyblade.] "The Keyblade holds the power of light—the power to drive away the darkness." [The Keyblade blazes with light, and The Player appears in Daybreak Town.]

"Pretty scary stuff, huh? But you get an A for effort." [The Player is surprised.] "You look a little confused. Here's what's going on. Your pursuit of light made you the perfect candidate for a Keyblade wielder. Darkness is spreading and it's up to you to use the weapon to get rid of it, collect light, and in turn save the world. The monster that was just defeated belongs to the darkness and is called a Heartless. These Heartless scour the world searching for hearts, spreading darkness as they go. The Keyblade is an effective weapon against them." [Chirithy hops back and forth.] "I hope this is all sinking in... Anyway, I was assigned by a certain someone to watch over a new Keyblade wielder—you! I'm Chirithy. I'll be supporting you the whole way, teaching you everything you need to know and more." [The Player smiles.] "Nice to meet ya! Right now, that Keyblade is just like you—it has room to grow. To unleash its true power, you'll need to use "fragments"—special Medals that you can set in your Keyblade. Anyway, that's a lot to take in, so why don't you use the Heartless here for some practice?"
