Player (KHχ): Difference between revisions

Chirithy tells Player about the [[Foreteller]]s, the [[Book of Prophecies]], and the impending [[Keyblade War]], explaining that the Foretellers hope to harness the power of the future to prevent the war from taking place.  

The next day, Player meets [[Ephemer]], a Keyblade wielder from a different union. He explains to Player that the worlds the wielders visit on missions are holograms, or "projections", and that he is investigating how the projections are created as well as why the Unions are collecting Lux. When Player describes their dream of the Clock Tower, the pair decide to go there to investigate.{{storylink|Quest 362: To Waterfront Park Pt. 4}}

Together, Ephemer and Player find an entrance into the Clock Tower, but turn back before entering and promise to meet again the next day. At night, Player excitedly tells Chirithy about their new friend and their meeting tomorrow, but on the next day, they are left waiting alone at the Fountain for Ephemer, who never arrives.

One night, Ephemer appears to Player in a dream and tells them to find him before disappearing at the entrance of the Clock Tower. Player searches for Ephemer at the Tower, where they encounter [[Ava]], who decides to test their strength in battle. Player loses, and Ava tells them that she senses their potential, but also their sadness. While they sleep that night, Ava appears in their room, speaking with Chirithy about the dream Ephemer sent to Player.

Player, Chirithy, and Skuld make their way to the Foretellers' Chambers, where they are confronted by one of the Foretellers.<ref>If Player is in Leopardus, Ursus, Anguis, or Unicornis, they are confronted by the leader of their Union. If Player is in Vulpes, they are confronted by Ira.</ref> The Foreteller reprimands the group for trespassing, then claims that Ephemer was acting under ulterior motives and imply that he died by their hand.

Enraged, Player confronts the Foreteller, but is defeated. Afterwards, the Foreteller compliments their strength and reveals themself to be Ava in disguise. She tells Player and Skuld about the [[Dandelions]], a group of Keyblade wielders she is training to escape the Keyblade War and continue the fight against darkness. She also reveals that Ephemer has already joined the Dandelions, and invites Player and Skuld to join as well. Skuld agrees, but Player hesitates, reluctant to leave behind those who will fight in the Keyblade War.

Player and Skuld part ways, with Skuld asking Player not to participate in the War. Player decides not to fight; however, Nightmare Chirithy appears to taunt their decision, and reveals that the Power Bangle in Player's possession has been drawing on the power of darkness. When Chirithy asks which wielder Nightmare Chirithy belongs to, it claims to belong to Player. It summons Darklings to fight, and once they’re defeated, it absorbs the Darklings and becomes a Nightmare monster. With its defeat, Nightmare Chirithy disappears “for now,” and announces it’ll see Player “in another dream.”

Player joins in the battle against the other unions at the [[Badlands]]. Player encounters and fights against four of the five Foretellers, all except their Union leader, one by one. With each battle, Player grows weaker, and they see other wielders fall, Keyblades land on the ground, and the hearts of others float into the sky. Eventually, Player collapses on the ground in pain, finding themself to be the last survivor on the battlefield. Chirithy appears before them, embracing and telling them to rest. The light of Kingdom Hearts appears in the sky; then, Skuld appears before Player, followed by Ephemer. Player berates him for breaking his promise, which he apologizes for. Then Ephemer reaches out his hand and Player takes it, joining them in the next world.
