This conflict continued | During the "age of fairy tales", when the Master of Masters was a boy, the [[Keyblade War]], a conflict between light and darkness began. This conflict continued for an unknown period of time, in which the Master saw many of his loved ones perish from darkness overtaking their hearts.{{storylink|Quest 910: Investigating the Glitches Pt. 5}}. After the world is destroyed repeatedly, the Master crosses into a new Worldline, settling in [[Daybreak Town]] and composing the [[Book of Prophecies]] from events foreseen by his [[Gazing Eye]]. This allowed [[Darkness (character)|Darkness]] to peek inside the Book, but the Master intentionally remained vague in order to mislead his foe.{{storylink|Quest 94: Where's Chirithy? Pt. 2}} | ||
One day, Darkness asks the Master about his intentions for Daybreak Town, who reveals that his plans will result in the town's ultimate destruction. This declaration confused Darkness, as it doesn't understand why the Master would resort to plotting when he possesses the Book of Prophecies. The Master explains that the Book of Prophecies only depicts selected events and he intends to use it as his waypoint, while the Gazing Eye and Luxu's memories act his medium, giving him direct access to any destination in time. Furthermore, he intends to travel through time with seven lights on the Lifeboat. While Darkness admires the Master's cleverness, it refuses to reveal its own plans. In an attempt to get through to Darkness, the Master reveals that he'd seen a world which he cannot conceive, hoping to expand the world by rewriting the Book of Prophecies. When Darkness wonders which world the Master would disappear to, the Master teases that it is a world where neither light nor darkness can be controlled. | |||
Enacting the first part of his plans, the Master provides each of his apprentices | Enacting the first part of his plans, the Master provides each of his apprentices, excluding Luxu, with a copy of the Book of Prophecies, dubbing them "foretellers". The foretellers read through the Book of Prophecies and are horrified that the Keylade War will result in the expiration of light as the world reaches its end. The Master brings Luxu to the Control Room, wherein he reveals the truth of the Keyblade War and the existence of Darkness, as an entity, to his apprentice. He informs Luxu that he plots to have Ava gather wielders with a particular aversion to darkness travel to the world outside, where they'd gather light from the scattered worlds to rebuild the one destroyed by the Keyblade War, thus effectively calling a temporary truce between light and darkness.{{storylink|Quest 910: Investigating the Glitches Pt. 5}} | ||
Concerned, Luxu asks about these wielders, with the Master admitting that not all of them would be able to return to the real world. Luxu begins to doubt the Master, but as he had misunderstood, the Master explains that there is a way to defeat Darkness, however it is complex and will take several lifetimes to realize. Intrigued, Luxu asks if the Master had ever spoken to Darkness, and the Master admits that he had, though neither of them got through to the other due to their unconventional views - prompting Luxu to compare the two. Additionally, the Master reveals that Darkness is constantly observing them, but wouldn't approach them needlessly. As Luxu is still worried for the Dandelions, the Master allows him to watch over the Dandelions, so long as he dosen't interfere, as per his role. {{storylink|Quest 960: To the Race Track!

A badly wounded Maleficent learns from Darkness that the Master of Masters made the worlds in the Book of Prophecies as data and locked them to their respective default storylines as a way to prevent history from being altered. This resulted in Maleficent being locked in the Book of Prophecies after she traveled back in time as a result of Riku stabbing her in Hollow Bastion. His disappearance, as well as the deaths of his apprentices (excluding Luxu), rendered the holograms of the worlds of the Book of Prophecies unusable, leaving them as mere data. | A badly wounded Maleficent learns from Darkness that the Master of Masters made the worlds in the Book of Prophecies as data and locked them to their respective default storylines as a way to prevent history from being altered.

Many generations later, the Master makes contact with a young [[Xehanort]], gifting the boy with a [[black coat]], and has him tour the worlds to broaden his horizons.
