Warnings: More Dark Road

"I'm afraid I bear bad news. The seven upper classmen have gone missing during their training for the Mark of Mastery exam," Master addressed. Eraqus raised his hand.

"Training? What kind of training?" he asked.

"As you know, there are many worlds outside of Scala ad Caelum. Before the Keyblade War, all the worlds were joined together. But the war forced them apart, and now their residents know not of the others' existence." Master Odin walked closer to his students. "To maintain this order, meddling with other worlds is strictly forbidden. However, in preparation for the Mark of Mastery exam, Keyblade wielders are given permission to journey to these worlds to broaden their horizons."

Eraqus smiled and Xehanort raised his hand.

"How does one get to those worlds?" he asked.

"There are several ways..."

"Ways that you can't share with us LOWER classmen?" Eraqus said.

"Don't be like that, Eraqus," Hermod said.

"You are right. They are taught only to upper classmen. But today is an exception," Odin said. Eraqus smiled wide.

"Really?" Hermod asked. Eraqus jumped from his chair excitedly.

"You're going to tell us?" he asked.

"I can't believe this," Urd said.

"I would like you to use this knowledge to find the missing wielders," Odin said.

"Yes!" Eraqus said as he and Bragi high-fived.

"You don't have to sound so excited," Urd said.

"Yeah, people are missing, you know," Hermod said. Eraqus's smile faltered.

"Right. Sorry," he said.

"Guys, we get to go to the outside worlds. This is huge! Hey, we might even encounter a Spirit!" Bragi said.

"Those don't exist Bragi," Hermod said.

"You don't know that!"

"The situation IS worrying. Which is why I'd rather be part of a search party than sit here and do nothing," Xehanort said. Eraqus grinned.

"Guys, aren't you forgetting something? What about Baldr?" Vor asked.

"Oh, yeah," Eraqus said.

"Is he still in his room?" Urd asked.

"I'll get him," Hermod said.

"I have given Baldr a different task. He will not be joining us today," Odin said.

"Oh?" Xehanort asked.

"What's he doing?" Eraqus asked.

"As you all know, his sister is one of the missing upperclassmen. I have yet to tell him the news to avoid any unnecessary concern." Eraqus nodded. "In the meantime, I would like you to search for the missing students. Ordinarily, there is much to learn before going to the outside worlds. However, as time is of the essence–"

After class, the group left the citadel.

"So how should we do this?" Eraqus asked.

"Well, the Master wants us to split up into two groups," Hermod said.

"How do we decide?" Urd asked. Xehanort mused.

"Rock, paper, scissors?" Eraqus asked. Vor laughed.
