Yen Sid: If we are ever to strike down Xehanort, we need the individuals | |||
King Mickey spoke of in his letter. We must lead them out of sorrow and | |||
slumber, and back to our world. To do so, seven Sleeping Keyholes must be | |||
found and unlocked, and a great power retrieved. As you know, every world | |||
is walled off from the next, preventing travel between them. In the past, | |||
you could bridge these gaps because the walls were broken, or because you | |||
could open special Lanes with your Keyblades. But your new goals, the | |||
"Sleeping Keyholes," are harder to reach. You'll recall, in your first | |||
journey, that you brought many worlds back from the darkness--but some | |||
never returned completely. They still sleep, cut off from all outside | |||
channels. Not even the Heartless can enter. | |||
Yen Sid: You must understand, this examination is in no way how the Mark | |||
of Mastery is usually found. However, in light of what they must do next... | |||
it was a necessity. If Sora and Riku complete their test, by finding the | |||
seven doors corresponding to the seven pure lights, they will return | |||
home with a new power. | |||
Yen Sid: In your Mark of Mastery exam, you were to unlock seven Sleeping | |||
Keyholes. By doing so, you would awaken those worlds from their prison of | |||
slumber, and also acquire the power to free a heart from its sleep. Riku, | |||
you unlocked those Keyholes within Sora's dreams. Therefore, it stands to | |||
reason that you now have the power to awaken Sora's heart. | |||
Mickey: You want him to dive back into Sora's sleep? But Master, Sora's | |||
heart is down in the darkest abyss. If Riku's not careful, he might just | |||
get trapped down there with him. No... I'll go instead. | |||
--note: "power to free a heart from its sleep" probably "power of waking" in original JP script | |||
Yen Sid: More than anything, I am grateful to have you both back from | |||
Xehanort's deception unharmed. And I am grateful to Lea, whose spontaneous | |||
actions turned the tides. I am also deeply sorry, for failing to percieve | |||
the danger and throwing you headlong into a perilous test. This experience | |||
has revealed many hidden truths, and we must gird ourselves for the great | |||
clash with darkness that lies before us. I believe we need a new Keyblade | |||
Master, one with a new kind of power. Sora and Riku, you both deserve | |||
the honor. However, one of you braved the realm of sleep again to unlock | |||
the final Keyhole and save a friend. Riku, I name you our new true | |||
Keyblade Master. | |||
Ansem the Wise: Yes. A clue, I hope, to finding yourselves or your lost | |||
friends in your hour of need. The heart has always been quick to grow. Each | |||
exposure to light, to the natural world, to other people, shapes this most | |||
malleable part inside of us. Nobodies are not different from us in that | |||
manner. Sora was the only one able to return to his human form without | |||
destroying his Nobody. That is a statement to the love in his heart for | |||
other people, and the bonds that tie them together. Perhaps...he has the | |||
power to bring back the hearts and existences of those connected to him-- | |||
to recreate people we thought were lost to us forever. Our most precious | |||
treasures--even an empty puppet--the trees of the forest, and the petals on | |||
the wind--there are hearts around us everywhere we look. And it does not | |||
take superhuman powers to see them. Surely we remember as children the way | |||
our hearts made everything seem so shiny, and perfect. Sora has a heart like | |||
that--uncorrupted, willing to see the good before the bad. When he sees the | |||
heart in something, it then becomes real. When a connection seems broken, | |||
he may have the power to mend it. He has touched countless hearts, he has | |||
accepted them, and he has saved them. And some of those hearts have never | |||
left him--whether they fell into darkness or were trapped there--whether | |||
they sleep in the darkness of Sora's heart, or were welcomed into its | |||
warmth--they can be saved. All Sora needs to do is be himself and follow | |||
wherever it is that his heart takes him. It is the best and the only way. | |||
The rest is in there. | |||
