"I am not Ventus. His heart has become a part of mine now."

Now Ephemer watched, grasping for trust Sora would sever the spiral of hate before history recurred. Revised and expanded.
When Sora called to the power of waking, no more did his future self, and history, vanish than Young Xehanort's. Yet woven to the future Xehanort's heart is Yozora, the fourteenth member of the Real Organization Thirteen, and he will sacrifice anyone, and anything, to ensure Ephemer and Skuld aren't now fated to become the new last two guardians of light in another Keyblade War.

"I am not Ventus. His heart has become a part of mine now." When Ephemer heard what should have been Ven speak those words to Mickey, without confirming he was Vanitas, he'd known where the Master of Masters had gone, and what so many hearts had been lost for.

Within the core of the planet, beneath the Northern Cave, with Cloud, and his companions, above him, for the first time in his life, Sephiroth is prepared to take the field in his own body; not as a loyal dog of war, born and raised for combat, but as a warrior striving for no cause but his own.

Even Luso Clemens now knew what it meant to be clapped in the irons of the past. For by leaving Adelle after defeating Illua, the first Priestess of Mullenkamp, he had abandoned her to become wearied by a role more and less than herself; the High Seraph, Ultima, the Angel of Blood. Her sole apparent hope was the phantasm Ashe denied; harnessing power to etch Adelle's history anew.
