On that fated land, a great war shall transpire
Who: Ira and you
Which: Interactive Dream; Open
What: Ghosts of the past. Ira dreams of the Keyblade War and his part in it.
Warnings: War, NPC death, violence
The Dream Begins
[It's a weird feeling, almost like watching a dream within a dream.
It is a large room, a gathering place, with a large, round table in the center. There are five figures gathered around it. The five Foretellers, the leaders of the Unions. Aced, the bear and leader of Ursus, Invi, the snake and leader of Anguis, Gula, the leopard and leader of Leopardus, and Ava, the fox, leader of Vulpes. The air is heavy and tense between them.
Eventually, it is Ira who speaks.]
There's a traitor among us.
[This prompts shock from the others and Ira reveals that he has found a Nightmare Chirithy sniffing about. Evidence that someone has fallen to the Darkness. The arguments grow and eventually Aced storms out.
The dream fades, and you wake up. Sunlight is glittering through the window and if you sit up, you can see Daybreak Town. It's a new day.]
The Tide of War
[Daybreak Town is not an unfamiliar setting to anyone who has seen Ira's dreams before. He dreams of his home often. It is a town that glitters under the rising of the sun, often matched with a sense of hope and brightness. It is the home of Keyblade Wielders, of those who live in and protect the light.
Though the tension in the streets is palpable. As you walk away from the Wharf Park, there is a street in ruins. Buildings collapsed and deep gouges in the cobblestone, accompanied by whispers.
"Master Aced and Master Invi really fought?"
"But why? Are we fighting each other now?"
"I heard Master Gula was involved to."
"What is going on?"
Rumours continue to grow and fear sets in. If the Foretellers are fighting, what does that mean for the unions? The light of hope, of promise, seems muted as the fear takes hold.
From the corner of your eye, you might see shadows, Darklings lurking in alleyways, those who have fallen to the darkness, Nightmare versions of the helpful Chirithy following close behind.
Do you chase them down? Do you try to find the Foreteller in charge of your Union?]
A Bell Tolls as the Dream Changes
"Imbalance observed, strength misplaced, a future filled with sorrow.
Words of truth misunderstood as they explore the secret of tomorrow.
With a single strike, toll the bells and herald the end, bringing war upon us, as fate did intend
On that fated land, a great war shall transpire. Darkness will prevail and the light expire"
The Keyblade War
[It is a desolate place where the five Unions gather.
A barren place that is not but rock and wind. Dark clouds gather overhead and the wind picks up. It is going to storm.
And in a span that feels like hours and yet takes no time at all, the battle is joined. Thunder crashes above, almost drowning out the sounds of battle. Of Keyblade clashing against Keyblade and magic spells exploding.
There are those who fight bravely for their unions and those who collapse among fallen friends, wondering what the point of it all is. Keyblades clatter to the ground, becoming a monument to this carnage.
And through it all, Ira fights, defending his Union, and perhaps you join him in facing off against another Foreteller. Or perhaps you dare to challenge him in battle as a member of a different Union]
The Dream Ends
[The last scene of the dream is Ira fighting with Aced.
They are evenly matched. Ira dodges and feints against the heavy, yet powerful blows of the bear-masked master. Neither one holds back, neither gives any quarter. It is one of those battles that you do not know who to support because you know that no matter what, there will be no true victor.
Above them, the sky begins to clear as a familiar Heart-shaped moon shines down. Kingdom Hearts, as always, bears witness.
It happens in an instant.
For one moment, Ira's guard is down and Aced knocks him back with a powerful blow. Ira lands heavily on the ground and looks up to see Aced towering over him. But before any final blow is struck the light from Kingdom Hearts glows brightly, to the point where nothing can be seen.
And then there is darkness.
And then the dream ends.]

[OOC: For the purposes of this dream, everyone takes on the role of a Keyblade Wielder in Daybreak Town ala Kingdom Hearts Union Cross. Everyone gets a Chirithy and is part of a Union. Unicornis is Ira's union, but there is also Ursus, Anguis, Leopardus, and Vulpes. Ira will obviously help Unicornis where he can, but may be cold to other unions, and if encountered on the battlefield, he will not hold back.
To avoid repeating the discussion from the first part of the dream, it can be viewed here (9:43 for time code and is about 5 minutes) for those interested.
If you wish to encounter Ira after the dream, he will likely be on the beach.]

no subject
[He sighs.]
I don't think it was just my suspicions. Our Master had disappeared, and left us with different roles. I think we were still dealing with his absence, and well, not everyone was happy with me being made the leader.
no subject
Did you want to become leader?
no subject
I suppose it was what was expected of me, and I would have taken the position one way or another.
But, I also did not want my Master to leave.
no subject
I suppose we all must do things we aren't necessarily prepared for, at one time or another. I have learned it is a part of growing up.
[ Ira seems already far older and wiser than she, however. ]
Perhaps your Master did not intend for his disappearance to come so soon, or so suddenly.
no subject
I would hope so, but it was impossible to tell with him. He was inscrutable at the best of times.
[The Master of Masters certainly marched to the beat of his own drum.]
He knew he was going to leave eventually. I probably should have prepared myself better.
no subject
Than her waking up to finding her father gone from this dream world, along with all of his belongings. ]
…Are you still searching for him?
no subject
[He sighs, ruefully.]
There was hope that gathering lux and summoning Kingdom Hearts would cause him to return, but instead there was just fighting.
no subject
I'm sure that was not his intention. [ Though she says this with uncertainty. How could she know? ] But if I meet him...
If he ever finds himself here, I will be sure to let you know. At least... I would, if I knew what he looked like.
no subject
I would appreciate that. He typically wears a long back cloak with the hood up. It sticks out.
He's also prone to the dramatic. A lot of wild gestures when he talks.
no subject
If it's alright for me to ask, what is the last thing he said to you?
no subject
But, in our last conversation, he did wish me luck.
[Maybe he needed it more than he thought.]
no subject
Susato is quiet for a moment in thought, and she finds herself staring down at the pup she's brought with her, who has been largely behaving up to this point. ]
Well, then Toby and I will wish you the same.
...He is an excellent tracking dog, so if you ever come across something that might be his, let me know and I can see what trail becomes of it. [ He's got to be even better at tracking in a dream, right?! ]
no subject
It is appreciated, Susato. Thank you. Both of you.
[There's a small wonder if he could regain anything, but that might be more personalized to him than his Master.]
