Today you will be examined for the Mark of Mastery. Not one but two

of the Keyblade's chosen stand here as candidates... but this is neither a

competition nor a battle for supremacy-- not a test of wills, but a test of

heart. Both of you may prevail, or neither. But I am sure our guest, Master

Xehanort... did not travel all this way to see our youngest prospects in years

fall short of the Mark. I trust you are ready.

That was my dear old friend Yen Sid. As you know, he is Master no

more... but he still keeps a close eye on the tides of light and darkness. His

counsel serves as signposts on the road we wielders of the Keyblade must walk.

All the more reason, then, for concern--for he tells me the princesses of

heart are in danger. Not only from the forces of darkness, as you may assume...

but also from a new threat--one that feeds on negativity. Fledgling emotions

that have taken monster form--Yen Sid calls them the "Unversed." As wielders

of the Keyblade, you are tasked with striking down any who would upset the

balance of light and darkness. The Unversed are no exception. I tried to pass

this news on to Master Xehanort, but my repeated attempts to reach him have

failed. I doubt there is any connection, and yet... This all troubles me.

The X-blade has no place in this or any world. Xehanort has made his

purpose clear...and I am left with no choice. Forgive me...but you must exist

no more!
