Quest No. 71

Before quest
[1 year ago] [Xehanort and Eraqus are seen playing chess.] Xehanort: "Have you heard of the ancient Keyblade War?" Eraqus: "Huh?" Eraqus: "Of course I have." Xehanort: "Long ago, Keyblade wielders waged a war over the ownership of light." Eraqus: "Yeah, the Master's favorite story." Xehanort: "I wonder what they planned on doing with Kingdom Hearts after... making it appear." Eraqus: "Who knows? I don't get why anyone would initiate a war." Xehanort: "So..." [The screen zooms in on Xehanort.] Xehanort: "you know the "Lost Masters"!" [The screen moves to Eraqus.] Eraqus: "Who?" [The screen moves to show both of them.] Xehanort: "They're the ones who started the Keyblade War." Eraqus: "Never heard of 'em. Where'd you hear about that?" Xehanort: "Or... they're the ones for whom the war started." Eraqus: "I'm not following you." [The screen shows Eraqus.] Xehanort: "You can drop the facade." 'Eraqus: Facade?" [The screen moves to Xehanort.] Xehanort: ""On that land shall darkness prevail and light expire." A prospective Keyblade Master should know this." [The screen moves to show both of them.] Eraqus: "If you say so." [The screen moves to a Keyblade hanging on the wall.] Xehanort: "The Gazing Eye sees the fate of the world." [The screen moves back to Xehanort and Eraqus.] Xehanort: "The future—it's already been written." Eraqus: "Really? I'm not so sure about that. Besides, who's to say I can't change it? And maybe light will prevail." Xehanort: "Pretty confident. But things aren't in your favor." [The screen moves to Eraqus.] Eraqus: "Perhaps. But unlike darkness, there is more to light than meets the eye. You might be surprised." [The screen moves to Xehanort.] Xehanort: "Oh, I hope so." [The screen zooms out and goes black.] [Vor is seen walking through the Courtyard in Dwarf's Woodlands.] Vor: "Well, it's official. I'm lost." Vor: "But I did find this amazing castle! I wonder if anyone's home." Vor: "Oh, I think I hear someone." [Vor enters the castle, where she sees the Queen and the Magic Mirror. Vor hides behind a pillar.] Magic Mirror: "What wouldst thou know now, my Queen?" The Queen: "Magic Mirror on the wall, who shall forever tule o'er all?" Magic Mirror: "Thou will, my liege." [The Queen smiles and walks away.] Vor: "Wow, that mirror knows all the answers!" Vor: "Maybe... it can help me too." [Vor approaches the Magic Mirror and the screen goes black.] [Xehanort and Eraqus run into Vor in the Dark Forest.] Eraqus: "There you are! We were worried." Xehanort: "Are you all right?" Vor: "Yeah." Eraqus: "You said you wanted to come with us, and then you went off on your own!" Xehanort: "We need to stick together." Vor: "I know, I'm sorry. I was chasing a butterfly, and then I looked around and you were gone." Eraqus: "Why am I not surprised?" ???: "Hurry, men! Hurry!" [Xehanort, Eraqus, and Vor look toward the voice, and see three Dwarfs.] Grumpy: "Bah! I told ya that mine tunnel was brewin' trouble!" Doc: "That's why I'm coming with ya!" Happy: "No time for fussin'. We gotta help 'em outta there!" Grumpy: "Don't ya think I know that?!" [The Dwarfs run off.] Xehanort: "They must be from this world, but I don't think they're likely to harm us." Eraqus: "I don't think so either. It also sounded like they had their hands full." Vor: "Something about a mine?" Xehanort: "There must've been a cave-in." Vor: "If someone's trapped, we might be able to help!" [Vor runs off.] Eraqus: "What did we just say about going off on your own?!" [Eraqus heads after her.] Xehanort: "You're one to talk."
