One night, Ephemer appears to Skuld in a dream and instructs her to seek out [[Player (KHχ)|Player]], warning her about the impending [[Keyblade War]]. Skuld finds Player in the Fountain Square having a conversation with their [[Chirithy]] about collecting Lux for their Union before the other Unions do, prompting Skuld to question the competition between the Unions since they strive to collect [[light]] for the same goal. Introducing herself, Skuld informs Player that Ephemer had appeared to her in a dream the other night and told her to find them, who also reveals that Ephemer had contacted them in a dream and told them to go the Foretellers' Chamber. Skuld and Player decide to go investigate the Foretellers' Chamber themselves, in spite of Chirithy's protests since [[Foreteller Ava]] forbid them entering the area.

A sudden quake shakes all of Daybreak Town, leaving Skuld, Player, and Chirithy dumbfounded. Summoning their Keyblades, Skuld and Player rush to investigate the source of the disturbance and witness [[Foreteller Invi]] fighting against [[Foreteller Aced]]. Shocked at the sight of the two [[Foreteller]]s fighting each other, Skuld affirms that Ephemer's warning must be true, and the trio proceed to the sewers to access the secret entrance to the Foretellers' Chamber. Destroying [[Darkling]]s along the way, Skuld and Player come across a Nightmare Chirithy. Noting that Nightmare Chirithy has changed since their last encounter, Chirithy realizes it has now been fully tainted by darkness, much to Skuld's shock. Nightmare Chirithy asks if Skuld hates the darkness, explaining that light and darkness cannot exist without the other, and encourages Skuld to embrace the darkness just like the Darklings did. Hearing this, Skuld asks if the Darklings used to be Keyblade wielders, which Nightmare Chirithy confirms.

After the Nightmare Chirithy leaves, Player leads Skuld and Chirithy make their way to the Foretellers' Chamber, only to find it empty and with no signs of Ephemer. When Foreteller emerges from the shadows and demands to know why are here,  Skuld immediately apologizes to the Foreteller and explains that they are looking for Ephemer. The Foreteller reveals to Skuld and Player that Ephemer's Union collects Lux for a reason that contradicts their own, claiming that Ephemer had befriended them simply to get his hands on information and has been eliminated. Outraged, Skuld asks how the Foreteller could do such heinous act, while Player steps forward to challenge the Foreteller to avenge Ephemer, but is defeated. As Player is cast to the ground, the group finds themselves back in the sewers, and the Foreteller congratulates Player for having fought admirably. Ava reveals herself and heals Player, thanking Skuld and Player for showing her the strength of their hearts and apologizing for having deceived them with an illusion. When Skuld questions Ava's motive for the elaborate charade, Ava explains that she is gathering exceptional Keyblade wielders to join [[Dandelions]], such as Ephemer, to ensure the future of the light in a new world after the Keyblade War. When Ava offers both Skuld and Player to join the Dandelions, Skuld immediately accepts, but Player remains hesitant. Ava allows Player time to consider her proposal, and requests that Skuld and Player keep this information to themselves.

Later at the Fountain Square, Skuld sits with Player and Chirithy, as Chirithy asks Player they refused to join the Dandelions since it can reunite them with Ephemer. When Player explains that they are reluctant leave behind their friends who take part in the Keyblade War, Skuld confides in Player how she had been alone for a long time prior to Ephemer joining and popularizing her party, and how he assured her that she will fine by herself when he left her party. Convinced that the only way to see Ephemer is to join the Dandelions, Skuld thanks Player for their help and departs with a friendly handshake.

Skuld later joins the rest of the Dandelions in the Fountain Square, where Ava orders her Dandelions to avoid the Keyblade War and journey to the new world, leaving the future and the world's light is in their hands.

As tensions rise between the Unions infighting among Keyblade wielders becomes more common. One day, Skuld comes across a skirmish in the Fountain Square, in which Player has thrown themself between two quarreling wielders. Running onto the scene, Skuld begs the wielders to stop fighting - much to their confusion, as they ask which Union she's in. Skuld instead claims that her Union doesn't matter, because their enemies are the monsters of the Darkness and the Keyblade isn't something to be used against a person. The wielders argue that someone who steals Light is of the same existence as the denizens of Darkness. Shocked, Skuld asks what the wielders mean as a crowd begins to gather, with the quarreling wielders explaining that the fight has already begun. Having heard the conversation, Aced approaches and confirms that the fight has indeed begun, stating that the only thing they can believe in is the promise of their Unions. However, Aced mentions that as Keyblade wielders they cannot judge whether a person's Heart is of Darkness or not - as absolute strength is based on righteousness rather than the amount of Light you collect; something which can only be proven by fighting. When Skuld attempts to object, Aced recognizes her as one of the Dandelions, comparatively stating that what Ava is doing is merely a display of strength as well. Stepping forward, Player explains that they are not a Dandelion - prompting Aced to ask which Union they are a part of; with the answer provoking Aced to summon his Keyblade against Player.  
As tensions rise between the Unions, Skuld comes across a skirmish in the Fountain Square, in which Player is trying to stop two quarreling wielders. When Skuld begs the wielders to stop fighting, they ask which Union she is in, but Skuld insists that her affiliation is inconsequential and reminds them that their enemies are the monsters of the darkness and not other Keyblade wielders. However, Skuld's attempts to quell the wielders are crushed when Aced appears to confirm that war has begun and the only thing they can believe in is the promise of their Unions. After Aced declares that absolute strength is based on righteousness rather than the amount of light you collect, which can only be proven by fighting, Skuld objects to his claims. Aced recognizes her as one of the Dandelions, comparatively stating that what Ava is doing is merely a display of strength as well.  


Skuld witnesses Player being beaten back by Aced, who then disqualifies Player as a Keyblade wielder. Ira then steps forward - ordering Aced to put away his Keyblade while voicing his disgust over the fact that Aced would raise his Keyblade against another wielder. Though Aced claims to have just been testing Player, Ira reveals that he'd been drawn there by Aced's bloodlust, prompting Aced to blame Ira and the other Foretellers for intensifying the battle. Aced declares that he is no longer gathering Lux, but soldiers - believing that a strong Union is absolute - and declaring that he will become the new leader to maintain the balance after banishing the other Foretellers. Ira warns Aced to be wary of his cockiness - though Aced simply tells Ira that he will be waiting in place of the final battle; then taking his leave. The crowd disperses, and Skuld asks Ira what is going to happen, with Ira explaining that the decided time is upon them and that it is no longer avoidable. Skuld argues that Ava had said there'd be no winner of the Keyblade War, questioning the point of fighting if that is indeed the case. Casually, Ira confirms Skuld's query, but reasons that it is because there will be no winner; suggesting that Skuld and Player prepare themselves for what is to come. Once alone, Player collapses to the ground, leaving a shocked and concerned Skuld and Chirithy to tend to them.
Skuld watches as Player duels Aced and is defeated, the latter disqualifying the former as a Keyblade wielder. After [[Foreteller Ira]] steps forward and has the crowd disperses, Skuld asks Ira about the upcoming Keyblade War, to which Ira explains it is unavoidable. Skuld argues that Ava had said there would be no winner of the Keyblade War and questions the purpose of the war. Ira confirms Skuld's inquiry and suggests that Skuld and Player prepare themselves for what is to come. Once alone, Player collapses to the ground, leaving Skuld and Chirithy to tend to them.


Skuld and Chirithy bring an unconscious Player home, with Chirithy wondering if Player will be alright. Skuld assures Chirithy that Player will be fine, reasoning that they had simply used up a lot of strength. Changing the subject, Skuld mentions that things appear to be getting worse day by day - and she keeps seeing fights break out all over Daybreak Town - asking if Chirithy knows what the Foretellers are doing; though given what had happened earlier she assumes she already knows the answer. Chirithy explains that it's unsure what had happened, but it seems as though everyone has completely changed, and thus Skuld accepts that it seems as though they really can't avoid the final battle after all. Player then wakes and asks about Ephemer and whether or not Skuld managed to see him again. Sadly, Skuld admits that she hasn't, though it seems as though he's working under Ava's orders, while she herself has been trying to make sure that as many wielders as possible join the Dandelions so that they don't have to take part in the Keyblade War. Unfortunately, Skuld explains that most people don't actually believe that the end is coming, and the Dandelions themselves have even begun to lose morale. Player questions what Ava is doing - only for Chirithy to reveal that Ava had gone missing recently; however Gula might know something about it given how close they are. Despite Chirithy's protests, Player assures their friends that they are well enough to embark on another adventure so soon, resolving that the three of them would search for Gula the following day.
