'''Foreteller Gula''' is a Keyblade Master who appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts χ]]''. He is the leader of the [[Leopardos Union]].
The '''foretellers''' are a group of [[Keyblade Master]]s that appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts χ]]'' and consists of [[Aced]], [[Ava]], [[Gula]], [[Invi]], and [[Ira]]. Together, the foretellers lead the five [[Union]]s and protect the [[worlds]] from [[darkness]].
 
In truth, the foretellers and [[Luxu]] were raised together by the [[Master of Masters]] to create strong hearts, then clash each other in the [[Keyblade War]] due to mistrust, in order to lock away the strongest of the thirteen darknesses until the time comes for them to be defeated.

According to [[Chirithy]], Gula was originally one of the six apprentices of his creator, the "[[Master of Masters]]". He was assigned his name by the Master, and like the other four chosen to become Foretellers, he received a tome from the [[Book of Prophecies]]. Afterward, he established the Leopardos Union to battle the darkness while using his tome to draw power from the future in the form of {{c|Medal|ucx}}s, in an attempt to avert the [[Keyblade War]] prophesied in the Book.{{storylink|Quest 94: Where's Chirithy? Pt. 2}}<!--add quote if possible-->
The five foretellers and Luxu were the apprentices of the Master of Masters. Shortly before he disappeared, the Master of Masters created the [[Dream Eater]] [[Chirithy]] to help in their endeavors, but warned them what would happen if the wielder was overcome with darkness, so would their Dream Eater. Then, gifted five of his disciples copy of the [[Book of Prophecies]], which informed them of the Keyblade War, and assigned specific roles for them to follow in preparation for the event. In an attempt to avert this coming crisis, the foretellers established Unions to battle the darkness and used the Book of Prophecies to draw power from the future in the form of {{c|Medal|ucx}}s.{{storylink|Quest 94: Where's Chirithy? Pt. 2}} Unbeknownst to the {{c|Keyblade Wielders|khx|Keyblade wielders}} in the Unions, the foretellers also utilized the Book of Prophecies to create holograms of different worlds to send their Union members to collect [[Lux]] from other realms.{{storylink|Quest 362: To Waterfront Park Pt. 4}}

The foretellers continue to diligently lead their Unions and uphold their roles assigned to them by the Master of Masters after his disappearance. Over time, the foretellers notice Keyblade wielders utilizing bangles that provides them the power to collect dark energy, though they decide that using the bangles was acceptable for their Union members. One day, [[Ira]] finds a [[Nightmare]] Chirithy snooping around the Foretellers' Chambers, suggesting that someone has submitted to darkness and a traitor is present. This eventually resulted in tension among the foretellers, as they are unable to discern the traitor. [[Aced]] convinces [[Gula]] to form an alliance with him to combat the impending darkness. As forming alliances between Unions is forbidden by the Master of Masters, [[Invi]] prompts Gula to dissolve his alliance with Aced, causing Aced to attack her in retribution.
Shortly after the Player arrives in [[Daybreak Town]], Foreteller Gula assigns a Chirithy to assist them and explain the current situation.{{storylink|Quest 1: Prologue}}
 
{{canon}}
In ''Kingdom Hearts χ'', the Player is attacked by a [[Darkside]] upon arrival, but Gula shows up in person to chase the Darkside back through its [[Corridor of Darkness]], leaving behind the Chirithy.
{{canonend}}
 
After the Player learns to wield the [[Keyblade]] with help from Chirithy<!-- and a [[Moogle]]-->, Gula <!--re-->appears from a [[lane between]]. He explains the need to defeat Heartless and collect [[Lux]], while noting that there is help in the form of their Union; as if to illustrate the point, a<!--nother--> Darkside appears but is quickly dispatched by arriving members of the Union. Before leaving once again, Gula warns that some are seeking to collect the Lux out of greed rather than peace, and entreats the Player to help root out the darkness.{{storylink|Quest 3: Combat 102}}
 
As the Player continues to defeat Heartless and retrieve Lux, their Chirithy makes regular reports on their progress to Gula, who occasionally assigns the Player tests of skill in response.{{storylink|Quest 200: Heading Home Pt. 6}}<!--storylinks:It's only kind of implied -->
 
Following the demise of [[Chirithy (2)]], Gula informs Chirithy that despite the Unions' best efforts, darkness continues to grow in power, leading Chirithy to speculate that there is a traitor among the Foretellers.{{storylink|Quest 120: Killing Time Pt. 6}}
 
Having returned from [[Beast's Castle]], Chirithy comes to the Player with a new assignment from Gula: they must hunt down Heartless within the Corridors of Darkness themselves, with only a set of [[Bracelet of Light]] to survive exposure to the darkness.{{storylink|Quest 491: Corridor of Darkness Pt. 1}} After the Player successfully completes this task, Chirithy reports it to Gula, but questions the wisdom of assigning such a dangerous mission. Gula explains that the darkness continues to spread, unabated, and that the Unions must grow as much as possible and develop a resistance to the darkness in order to survive.{{storylink|Quest 500: Corridor of Darkness Pt. 10}}

<!--rewrite for conciseness


After a long day of pursuing [[Minute Bomb]] Heartless, Player returns home for some much needed rest. That night, while Player sleeps, they dream of the Clock Tower, where they see all five Foretellers meeting with someone in a Black Coat, [[Unknown (KHχ)|Unknown]]. Before Player can investigate however, they are surrounded by Darkness and pulled out of the dream; finding Chirithy to be sitting in the room with them when they wake. Chirithy asks what had happened, as it looked as though Player was having a pretty bad nightmare, when Player confirms this, Chirithy advises them to go back to sleep. When Player is sleeping once again, Chirithy turns to the window and asks if he’s right to assume that Chirithy (3) had been the one to get in the way. Chirithy (3) materializes and asks if Chirithy was showing The Player a dream and what it was up to. Coldly, Chirithy claims that his interests are the exact opposite of Chirithy (3). Chirithy (3) sighs and asks if that means that they’ll become enemies before disappearing again. Turning to Player, Chirithy asks itself whether or not it will be able to protect them.
After learning that Gula is in possession of the [[Lost Page]] from the Book of Prophecies, which details the presence of a traitor amongst the foretellers, Aced strikes Gula down, but Ava saves the latter's life. Aced is then accosted by Ira, but the two reconcile. Ira then seeks out Gula in an attempt to see the Lost Page. He is sent away by Ava, who is tending to Gula's wounds. Gula reveals his intention to summon [[Kingdom Hearts]] in order to lure the Master of Masters back to [[Daybreak Town]], and Ava fails in her attempts to dissuade him from doing so. As a result, the foretellers begin to compete over the world's Lux to empower their Unions.


After witnessing Master Invi and Master Aced's battle and encountering the Black Garment Heartless and Nightmare Chirithy, Player and Skuld continue to the waterways where Player had last seen Ephemera. Skuld asks for confirmation that this is where Player had last seen Ephemera - admitting that she's sure that there's something secret ahead. Before Player and Skuld can continue however, Chirithy blocks their path and asks if they truly intend to keep going even with everything that they'd just seen, admitting that he has an awful feeling about all of this; looking to his feet while Player attempts to comfort him. Skuld asks if she's right to assume that Chirithy knows the layout of the Clock Tower's internal structure, which Chirithy confirms, only for Skuld to order him to lead them onward. Relenting, Chirithy agrees to Skuld's request, reminding Skuld and Player that going further into the Clock Tower really is forbidden, so they have to come right back after a quick peek inside; which Skuld promises to do.
Realizing conflict between the Unions is inevitable, Ava acts in accordance with her role and gathers Keyblade wielders to join a separate faction called the [[Dandelions]], who are ordered to avoid the Keyblade War in favor of going to a new world to ensure the future of the [[light]]. Ava, per the Masters of Master's instructions, recruits five Keyblade wielders to succeed the foretellers as Union leaders following the Keyblade War, with only one of them meant to receive a copy of the Book of Prophecies.{{storylink|Quest 665: Target: Blitz Spear Pt. 5}} In a last attempt to prevent the brewing conflict, Ava seeks out [[Luxu]] in hopes of finding the Masters of Masters. However, suspecting Luxu to be the traitor mentioned in the Lost Page, Ava attacks him, signaling the start of the Keyblade War. The foretellers then lead their respective Unions to the [[Badlands]].
As the three reach the room from Player's dream, Skuld asks where they are, and Chirithy explains that it is the last room - the Foretellers' room - prompting Skuld to question whether or not Ephemera made it that far. Given the situation, Chirithy mentions how, as they could see, there's no one there, and since they are not going to mess around with the things left in the room, it's time for them to go back as promised; stressing how they'd be in serious trouble if anyone found them up there. Skuld reluctantly agrees with Chirithy before taking another quick look around to be sure that there's really nothing up there, admitting that it feels as though they have been side-stepped, causing her to wonder what the dream with Ephemera really meant.


{{canon|the player allies with the Leopardos Union.|*}}
During the war, they meet Player and challenge them to a fight with Player being victorious against them.  
Just then, a voice comes from behind the group, as Master Gula ventures in from the shadows and asks what Player and Skuld think they are doing. Skuld asks Gula to excuse them, as they are looking for a friend of theirs. Master Gula simply asks how Player and Skuld could've possibly gotten in there if Chirithy was accompanying them - only for Chirithy to apologize for bringing them. Walking past Player, Gula reveals that there was another trespasser a few days before, wondering if they were a friend of theirs, which Player confirms. Skuld then asks if Gula knows Ephemera, prompting Gula to elaborate that Ephemera belonged to a Union which was in direct conflict with their own goals as a Union, suggesting that Ephemera must have gotten close to Player and Skuld in order to gather information about their Union. Coldly, Gula states that there was no way they would be seeing Ephemera ever again. Skuld, realizing what Gula is getting at, hastens to admit to herself that Gula had gotten rid of Ephemera. Gula confirms that he'd had Ephemera disappear, prompting shock and concern from Player, Skuld and Chirithy. Skuld insists that Gula won't get away with this, only for Gula to ask what Skuld thinks she's going to do about it. Chirithy then motions to stop Skuld, telling her that she can't and informing Gula that it's his fault and that he is the one responsible for everything that's happened, begging Gula to forgive Player and Skuld.


Player then steps out in front of Chirithy, looking to Gula and stating that, until today, they'd devoted themselves to their Union, to gathering Light in order to save the world and they had even competed against fellow Keyblade wielders that they think of as friends. Originally, they had thought that it was just what had to be done in order to save the world, and so they had tried not to dwell on what it meant, but at the same time someone had asked him that same simple question ("What are you going to do about it?") and that person was none other than Ephemera. Player admits that their encounter with Ephemera was brief, and that Ephemera had even broken a promise with Player - so their memories of Ephemera aren't all good - but they are huge and important to their heart. Player continues, saying that their sure it's because Ephemera was his friend, and that even if these feelings of anger and sadness signify Darkness, simply pushing them away is impossible. Player states that even if it came to crossing their Keyblade against Master Gula, they don't think they'd come away from it with any kind of peace. Perhaps it'd mean they would disappear as well, yet their sure that if Ephemera were there he would do the same. Preparing his stance for battle, Player beckons Master Gula forward into battle, prompting Gula to summon his Keyblade and launch himself into battle against Player.
At some point during the war, the five foretellers disappeared. As such, they are referred to "Lost Masters" by future Keyblade wielders.

Despite putting up a good fight against Master Gula, Player is easily defeated. Following the battle, Player is engulfed in a blinding light, which fades to reveal that they are back in the waterways alongside Skuld and Chirithy. Master Gula tells Player that they'd avoided being swallowed by their anger and sadness, and that they'd fought well.

After [[Xehanort]] is defeated, Luxu stands in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] with the [[Black Box]] and [[No Name|his Keyblade]] finally back in his possession. He summons the foretellers back into the world, except for Ava, as she has completed her role. At the foretellers' insistence, Luxu begins to recount the chronicles of his tale.

The foretellers wear masks representing the animals that serve as the emblems of their Unions, as well as hooded cloaks and shirts fastened with a sash. The sleeves of these shirts extend just beyond the wrist.

Each foreteller's name is derived from the Latin word for one of the seven deadly sins, and all but one of them use the name associated with their animal motif in the Ancrene Wisse.
