| The Player leaves through a portal reaching the Fountain Square in Daybreak Town, puts away the Keyblade and tiredly sits at the fountain. Chirithy appears shortly afterwards.
 
 
|   |  |  | You did great out there, champ! I know it's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it. |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  The Player protests.
 
 
|   |  |  | I know, I know. But if you give up now, the other Unions will get ahead. |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  An unknown voice calls out.
 
 
|   |  |  | But why does that matter? |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  A portal to the Lanes between opens and a girl with a Keyblade walks out. The Player gets up and turns to her.
 
 
|   |  |  | It's not a competition. Or at least it shouldn't be. Our goal of protecting the light is the same. There's no need for us to fight. |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Chirithy hops forward.
 
 
|   |  |  | Who're you? |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  The girl smiles and dismisses her Keyblade, and sits at the edge of the fountain right beside The Player.
 
 
|   |  |  | The name's Skuld! You're The Player, right? |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  The Player nods, Skuld extends her hand.
 
 
|   |  |  | Nice to meet you! |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  The Player shakes her hand and hops up to sit at the fountain.
 
 
|   |  |  | Ephemer told me all about you. |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  The Player and Chirithy look shocked.
 
 
|   |  |  | Don't look so surprised! He used to be in my party, you know. |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Chirithy hops up to sit at the fountain.
 
 
|   |  |  | We met not long after I became a Keyblade wielder. There was never a dull moment with him around! But then one day, he just quit. |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  The Player nods.
 
 
|   |  |  | I was really upset about it for a while... But then he showed up in my dream the other night and told me to find you! |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  The Player and Chirithy are surprised.
 
 
|   |  |  | Why? |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  
 
|   |  |  | Good question. I was actually hoping you could tell me. See, I don't really understand why he was in my dream to begin with. But he asked me to go with you. So here I am. |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  The Player mentions the dream about Ephemer.
 
 
|   |  |  | He was in your dream, too? What'd he say? |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  The Player explains, upsetting Skuld.
 
 
|   |  |  | Hmm... If he's waiting for you, then— |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Skuld hops down.
 
 
|   |  |  | Why don't we go to the place you're supposed to meet him? |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  The Player and Chirithy are surprised once more, Chirithy hops down.
 
 
|   |  |  | No way! Master Ava told us to stay away from there! |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  The Player hops down as well.
 
 
|   |  |  | Well, there has to be a reason she said that. And I have a feeling it's the same reason Ephemer asked me to go with you. So let's get moving, and quickly because–– |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  A huge boom sounds in the distance and the ground shakes, interrupting Skuld. All turn in that direction, looking shocked and confused.
 
 
|   |  |  | What was that!? |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Skuld walks forward, they all stare upward.
 
 
|   |  |  | It came from nearby! |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Skuld summons her Keyblade.
 
 
|   |  |  | Let's go, The Player! |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  
| - |  Skuld runs off. The Player summons their Keyblade and follows her, leaving Chirithy behind.
 
 
|   |  |  | H-hey! Where're you going!? |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |  
|  |  |  |
