<P> To further understand the mysteries of the Foretellers and the future, the player, Chirithy, and Skuld re-enter the Foretellers' tower where they are caught by a Foreteller . They are also told that Ephemer is a traitor to his union and that he has disappeared . The player then challenges the Foreteller to a duel, assuming Ephemer has been captured, but is easily defeated . The Foreteller reveals that she is in fact Master Ava, and that the player's quest was a test of their character to see if they are worthy of leaving this world before the Great War between light and darkness . Keyblade wielders that can resist the darkness and fight for what they believe in, like their friends, are worthy of becoming elite Keyblade warriors known as Dandelions and going on to the Realm of Light and avoiding the coming universal war . All who stay will become a part of that war and must face an uncertain future . Skuld accepts the offer, but the player's character is uncertain if they should join Ephemer, who has gone on to the Realm of Light, or stay and fight to save the future . Later, they encounter two Keyblade warriors accusing each other of stealing Lux from their unions, and the player is forced to fight Master Aced, who defeats them . Ira arrives to stop the fighting . Aced claims that he is collecting more Keyblade warriors to prepare for the upcoming war before leaving . Ira informs the player, Skuld, and Chirithy that the war cannot be avoided and that there will be no victor . The only Foreteller who may have a solution is Gula so the trio go to look for him . </P> <P> When Gula is found, he reveals that the only one who can alter these predicaments is the Master of Masters, the Foreteller's mentor, who had disappeared recently along with the sixth apprentice, Luxu (ルシュ, Rushu). Meanwhile, Ava tracks down Luxu, who had been ordered to watch the place by their Master . He reveals that he wants to move forward to see the end of the upcoming Keyblade War after discovering what happens in the "Lost Page" in the Book of Prophecies . Once Luxu reveals the truth about the events that have been occurring and the identity of the true traitor, a shocked and furious Ava engages Luxu in a duel, ringing the clock bell and starting the war . Meanwhile, Skuld returns to her union and the player encounters Nightmare Chirithy, who is surprised that the player is choosing to stay out of the war . He then summons the corrupted Keyblade wielder Heartless from earlier, forcing the player to fight them . After they are defeated, Nightmare Chirithy fuses them and himself in a giant Heartless . After the player defeats it, Nightmare Chirithy dissolves into darkness, but vows to meet them again . </P> <P> A few days later, the Keyblade War begins and the player battles four Foretellers before collapsing in exhaustion . The war ends with numerous Keyblades planted in the ground, forming the Keyblade Graveyard and with the player's character laying in the middle of the graveyard (presumably dying) while Chirithy, Skuld, and Ephemer approach them . </P> <P> Sometime later, the player wakes up to Chirithy at a simulation of Enchanted Dominion . Chirithy claims that the events of the Keyblade War have really been a dream the player has had ever since turning down Ava's offer to join the Dandelions (although in Unchained χ, it is revealed that the player is actually sent to the Unchained Realm by Ephemer and Skuld) and the two decide to rest after confronting a wall of thorns . On the other side of the thorns, Maleficent (who is heavily implied to have found the Book of Prophecies) congratulates herself with what she has accomplished whilst wondering where Pete is . Confident that Sora and company cannot meddle in this world, she contemplates on conquering this iteration of her home world that she has entered in . </P>
