Quotes:Eraqus

This page contains a list of quotes said by Master Eraqus during the course of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts III.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

 * "Today you will be examined for the Mark of Mastery. Not one but two of the Keyblade's chosen stand here as candidates... but this is neither a competition nor a battle for supremacy―not a test of wills, but a test of heart. Both of you may prevail, or neither." — introducing the Mark of Mastery exam.
 * "Remember, there are no winners―only truths, for when equal powers clash, their nature is revealed." — before Terra and Aqua battle each other.
 * "That was my dear old friend Yen Sid. As you know, he is Master no more... but he still keeps a close eye on the tides of light and darkness. His counsel serves as signposts on the road we wielders of the Keyblade must walk. All the more reason, then, for concern--for he tells me the princesses of heart are in danger. Not only from the forces of darkness, as you may assume... but also from a new threat--one that feeds on negativity. Fledgling emotions that have taken monster form--Yen Sid calls them the "Unversed." As wielders of the Keyblade, you are tasked with striking down any who would upset the balance of light and darkness. The Unversed are no exception." — informing Terra and Aqua of Yen Sid's news about the Unversed.
 * "I tried to pass this news on to Master Xehanort, but my repeated attempts to reach him have failed. I doubt there is any connection, and yet... This all troubles me. So here we are. I need you two to get this situation under control. Eliminate the Unversed, and find Master Xehanort. I have unlocked the Lanes Between. You may use these forbidden pathways to travel between this world and countless others. The darkness looms closer than usual within these spaces, but your armor will protect you. Lastly, remember that order must be kept. You cannot tell anyone there are other worlds. Now go, and fulfill your duty." — assigning Terra and Aqua to destroy the Unversed and find Master Xehanort.
 * "Why do all my attempts to reach you fail? If you don't have it in your heart to obey... then you will have to share Ventus's fate." — challenging Terra to fight.
 * "Has the darkness taken you, Terra?" — when Terra embraces the darkness.

Terra's Story

 * "If I could have my way, I would name you Master in a second. But, how can I, when you are so obsessed with power? Terra, you mustn't be afraid of losing. Fear leads to obsession with power, and obsession beckons the Darkness." — talking to Terra before sending him off.
 * "Ventus cannot tell you anything... because he cannot remember anything." — when Ventus first arrives at the Land of Departure.
 * "No, you were right. I failed you, Terra. Perhaps I've no one to blame but myself for the darkness inside you. And now, I've done worse... raised my Keyblade against you and Ventus. My own heart is darkness!" — upon defeat.

Ventus's Story

 * "I knew it. Xehanort―he could never let it go." — when Ventus returns to the Land of Departure.
 * "Wait, Xehanort. There is a reason the precepts bar us from such knowledge. Why do you seek the χ-blade? Would you blanket all the worlds in darkness, reduce them to nothing?" — remembering Xehanort's plan.
 * "Fool... You would risk an apocalypse out of sheer curiosity? I will never allow it, Xehanort! Not while I live!" — disapproving of Xehanort's plan to forge the χ-blade.
 * "If words won't dissuade you, only one thing will." — challenging Xehanort to fight.
 * "That power. Has the darkness taken you, Xehanort?" — when Xehanort attacks with the darkness.
 * "The χ-blade has no place in this or any world. Xehanort has made his purpose clear... and I am left with no choice. Forgive me... but you must exist no more." — attempting to destroy Ventus.

Aqua's Story

 * "If he were to―If those powers were to prove too much for him to handle, I want you to bring him back to me at once. It's for his own good. I could not bear to lose any of you to the darkness." — asking Aqua to keep an eye on Terra.
 * "You have to bring him back!" — telling Aqua to bring Ventus back after he runs off.

Final Episode

 * "Aqua. Now that you are Master, there is one secret in particular you must know. Should anything happen to me, and you find the legion of darkness at our doorstep... I ask that you take my Keyblade and use it to lock this land away. Generations of Keyblade Masters have been charged with keeping this land safe. Light and darkness exist in balance here, and there are those who would abuse such neutral ground. This is why our predecessors devised a certain... trick. Just use the key, and this land will be transformed. From that day forward, all who visit this land will be lost to oblivion, none ever able to solve the mystery. None, Aqua, except you." — Aqua remembers her master's instructions when she returns to the Land of Departure.
