Synopsis
9 Years Ago
A very young Xehanort and his robed caretaker lay on Destiny Islands by a campfire. Xehanort crawls into the man's arms, who tells him that he is the "child of destiny" who will save the world from darkness, as well as the great-great-grandson of a renowned Keyblade Master. Through Xehanorts interactions with others, his caretaker explains, he will be lead on his destined path.
Xehanort understands that he must stay on the islands to be protected from darkness, but is told that he must one day leave and experience the outside world when he is strong enough. Xehanort expresses his desire to leave and see his mother again, as well as meet the kids from his dreams. He describes these friends to his caretaker: a boy with curvy silver hair, a boy with black hair and a hat, a skinny boy with pink hair, a quiet boy with blond hair, a girl with dark hair not unlike his mother's, and another one who reminds him of his caretaker. Upon hearing this, his caretaker gets emotional.
Xehanort's caretaker describes that he lived two lives: in his first life in Daybreak Town, he knew of a Book of Prophecies that was given to a dear friend; in his second life in old Scala ad Caelum, he learned that darkness would prevail over light, but that the "child of destiny" would change that grim outcome.
Many years later, Xehanort stands on the beach, now an adolescent. The caretaker describes how Xehanort's heart had connected with his own, and that the growing man has quite the journey ahead of him. But he has faith that Xehanort will become light's master; after all, he has the blood of Ephemer.
Xehanort's caretaker keels over and fades away.
