Over four hundred years ago:

Two people in dark robes appear from a corridor of darkness in the middle of a forest, one unfamiliar to them.

"Where are we?" The slightly shorter one of the two asked as he was a bit curious what the other was planning.

The other person looked at their ally for a moment before looking around the forest, having an interested facial expression hidden under his hood.

This unknown person started to walk forward as he looked around with interest.  The other unknown person was just surprised that his companion just ignored him.

This one turned towards the corridor of darkness, noticing that it closed.

As this happened, the unknown person turned back towards his companion and quickly went to catch up with them while shouting,

"Wait up, Master!"

The Master noticed what his companion had said, prompting him to respond with,

"Well slowpoke, you should hurry up.  There's so much to explore." As the Master said this, he started to run, prompting his apprentice to at first be caught off guard before following the master while shouting,

"Hey! Don't leave me behind!"

As the apprentice started to catch up, the master looked around the forest with deep interest, impressed by the discover they have found.

The apprentice catches up and prepares to question the master more only for the master to start speaking:

"Do you know where we are?"

"...not really.  That's what I've been wanting to know."

"Well...we are lost."

"What?!" The apprentice said in shock as his expression was one of concern.  The master laughed when he saw this expression.

"Hahaha...I'm just messing with you." The apprentice sighed when he heard this, seeing that the master was up to his childish tricks once again.

The master took a moment to let the laughter in him out before properly answering the question he had asked his apprentice, "We are in a very special world."

"Special?  As in like a new world?" The apprentice asked, figuring that this world is just new unlike the others they had explored.  The master shook their head as they responded to the question.

"Not quite.  You are right that it's a new world but it's nothing like the other you and the others have seen."

"How so?" The apprentice was curious on what the master was meaning by this world being nothing like the others.  The master could sense that the apprentice was curious to learn more.  Before the master started explaining, he sensed a strong presence nearby.

"Pausing on this conversation for a moment..."  As the master said this, they started to follow the strong presence with No Name Keyblade being summoned.

The apprentice stood silent for a moment, a bit caught off guard that the master would just pull out a keyblade when there isn't any danger he can sense nearby.

The apprentice would eventually follow their master towards the direction of the strong presence.

The two walked cautiously towards the strong presence the master was sensing, they eventually spotted a woman with long white hair and black attire.

Master and Apprentice observed as this woman entered a house near a village, causing the two to be curious what the woman's up to.

The apprentice prepares to run towards the house only for the master to grab the apprentice's arm while saying,
