Ira: Difference between revisions

'''Foreteller Ira''' is a [[Keyblade Master]] who appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts χ]]''. He leads the Unicornis [[Union]] and is an apprentice of [[The Master of Masters]].

Ira is given a [[Keyblade]] forged from his own heart by the [[Master of Masters]], who takes Ira, [[Foreteller Aced|Aced]], [[Foreteller Ava|Ava]], [[Foreteller Gula|Gula]], [[Foreteller Invi|Invi]], and [[Luxu]] as his apprentices. Ira eventually achieves the rank of [[Keyblade Master]] alongside his fellow apprentices.

The Master of Masters bestows a copy of the [[Book of Prophecies]] upon Ira, making him a [[Foreteller]] and giving Ira leadership over what will become a [[Union]] of Keyblade wielders, Unicornis. As Ira and the other Foretellers read their copies of the Book of Prophecies, they are shocked by the final entry, which details an event known as the [[Keyblade War]], during which [[Light]] would expire and the world would reach its end.

When Luxu mysteriously disappears, Ira and the other Foretellers are shocked and confused by his disappearance. Shortly thereafter, the Master of Masters meets with Ira in the Outskirts of [[Daybreak Town]], delivering Ira’s role to act as the leader in the event of his own demise. Ira questions if anything can be done to avoid the fate of the Keyblade War, which the Master of Masters denies. explaining that fated events cannot be changed, thus they need to focus on what comes after. Ira remains adamant and opts to instead attempt to avert this end by gathering enough Keyblade wielders.

Having watched [[Player (KHχ)|Player]] defeat countless [[Heartless]] throughout [[Daybreak Town]], Ira approaches Player and commends his abilities. However, Ira offers some words of wisdom in regard to defeating larger Heartless, suggesting that Player combine his strength with fellow Union members and making his friends his power; leaving Player to defeat a [[Darkside]] alongside other members of the Unicornis Union. After the Darkside is defeated, Ira reappears, warning Player that there are others who collect Light, but that not all among them share the same goal of bringing peace to the world; though Ira leaves it up to Player to discern who walks the path of Darkness; leaving shortly thereafter.

Ira calls a meeting among the Foretellers in the Foreteller's Chamber, where he announces that there is a traitor among them. Shocked - Invi asks what proof Ira has to make such accusations, prompting Ira to reveal a Chirithy that he caught snooping around. As Ava notes the dark pattern of the Chirithy, Invi suggests that the Chirithy before them could be a Nightmare. Aced immediately denies that he is the traitor - prompting Gula to suggest an easy solution: have each of the Foretellers summon their Spirits. Even so, Invi tells Gula that it's not that easy, because of the amount of wielders under each Union, it would be easy for any of them to summon a Chirithy that isn't a Nightmare. Piping up, Ava questions why the Nightmare even necessarily has to belong to one of the Foretellers. Ira brushes this off as unlikely, reminding everyone of the Bangles - and while the Foretellers don't tend to concern themselves with the tools at their wielders' disposal, Ira is of the mind that the Bangles are the Nightmare's doing. When Ava questions this, Ira explains that utilizing the dark energy collected by the Bangles is the same as wielding the power of Darkness. Commending the plot, Gula elaborates that because all Chirithy look the same and Keyblade wielders are in such high quantity, it'd be impossible to discern who the Nightmare belongs to. As the Foretellers look to Ira for guidance, he suggests that only one of them could have obtained the Bangles, meaning that the traitor has to be one of the Foretellers. Questioning Ira's leadership as he spreads doubt, Aced storms off on his own, adjuring the meeting.

Following the meeting, Invi questions Ira's out of character behavior, prompting Ira to reveal the existence of the Lost Page, an entry depicting the events surrounding the traitor which has been excluded from his copy of the Book of Prophecies. Ira suggests that the identity of the traitor is likely whomever is in possession of the Lost Page - with Invi confirming that it has been excluded from her copy of the Book of Prophecies as well - making her wonder if providing the Lost Page to only one of the Foretellers was done intentionally by the Master of Masters. Invi then promises to keep an eye on the others, while continuing to report back to Ira.
