Lock and Key: KINGDOM HEARTS Union X

Chapter 2. Union

Just when the 5 were leaving, Ventus woke you and the 6 of you left.

"So, this is the master's room." Brain said, looking around the room in the centre of the Daybreak town Tower.

"Try not to touch anything." Skuld said when Brain opened a book on the Master's desk.

"Why not, it's ours now, isn't it?" Brain retorted, picking up the aforementioned book.

"I suppose you're right." Ephemer replied.

Lauriam, the 5th of the 5 sat at the table "What now?" He said.

"We should decide on union leaders." Skuld said. It wasn't a bad idea, since the other dandelions are probably going to form the unions again themselves, so might as well get control of that before it gets out of hand.

"About that. I don't know if we should be assigning people just yet." Ephemer said. He also had a point, since moving to this copy of daybreak town was a surprisingly big change, which it'd take time to adjust to.

"Huh"

"Interesting. But a wise choice." Lauriam stated, and although both Skuld and Ephemer had wanted to handle unions differently, you somehow agreed with both of them.

"We should keep the unions the same for now. As for who goes where, we'll need to discuss that in length."

"To avoid repeating history."

"Exactly. I don't want people to be loyal to only their own unions."

"Doesn't the rule book say we need to assign new leaders."

"Yes, but it doesn't state when."

"Got it. No need to hurry then."

"It's an important decision. We'll need to think long and hard."

"I agree."

"Ven?"

"Sure, if that's what everyone else wants to do."

"Ven, don't just go along with what everyone else wants, if it's what you want go for it, but have some backbone." You tell Ven, he always chooses the option everyone else wants to do.

"Ok, it's just, I'm still not sure about leading my own union. Atleast if we all put a lot of thought into it, I'll feel more confident about the whole thing."

"You are not weak Ven. You are kind."

"You really are."

"Then it's settled."

"Oh, and to avoid any confusion or chaos, let's not say a word about the fortellers to anyone just yet."

"A wise decision. As planned, all keyblade welders are undergoing training again. It may be a good time to discuss the issue when that is over with."

"Alright."

"Ok."

"Change of subject. I think I found out first task."

"Oh wow."

"They're adorable!"

"Spirits?"

"Yep. What better way to celebrate our own promotion than by granting everyone their own companion."

"Yeah."

"What do you think?"

"What do you mean by 'companion'?"

"Someone that'll come along for the ride, like Chirithy. Spirits don't have as many powers as Chirithy, but they can devour nightmares." Brain informed the rest of the group.

"So they can forget about the past..."

"That's right. If every welder has a spirit, the tragedy will be forgotten in no time. Problem solved."

"Sounds like a plan."

"Yeah."

"Let's do it!"

"But do we even know how?"

"We can make one using an archetype but ... Hmmm ... I'll need materials, I'll stay here and get things started, you guys, are going on a scavenger hunt."

"Is it a long list?"

"This might take a while."

"I'm sorry, but I'll have to pass."

"Then help me out with this." Brain says, clearly struggling.

"That I can do."

"We'll be back soon!" Ephemer told Brain and Lauriam, who were setting up equipment at the master's desk.

"Countin' on ya."

"[Y/N], you coming?" Ven asked you.

"Nah, I think I'll try and nail down the layout of the tower."

"Alright, see ya later!"

You'd finally found the bedrooms, all of which were labelled with the 5's names.

Then there were the 6th and 7th bedrooms. One labelled for a 'Damien' and then-

"[Y/N]" you muttered to yourself, hand grazing the nameplate on your door.

This quite confused you.

You weren't even meant to be here.

You opened the door.

The bedroom comprised of a twin bed, a desk with two chairs, which had a book and a note on it, as well as a table with two armchairs.

You approached the book and note atop the desk.

You started reading the note.

"Hello [Y/N],

I am the master of masters.
The book you'll find beneath this note is a copy of the book of prophecy's. My copy. I've memorised it so I don't need it.

Someday soon you'll be displaced. Seek out the keyblade with the green eye. My keyblade.

This copy of the book is for you, and within the new 5 leaders, you are to take the place of the 6th, the one unimportant now, who'll later be pivotal.

In a new keyblade war.

By the time of this war, daybreak town will have been long forgotten by all but one."

Then the note ended.

You opened the book and started reading from the start, till you got to when it was now.

You didn't want to use the book for knowledge of the future, but you wanted to use it to better understand the present.
