You know, this place isn't so bad. Even if it's a prison, at least it's peaceful, and there's a lot of room to explore. Maybe one of these days I'll go check out the forest or the mountains, but right now I'm fine with sticking around the village. Aqua just got here, anyway, and maybe Terra'll show up soon. If he does, we've already got a house set up. Well, sorta. We just moved in, so there's still a lot we could do.

[Briefly, Ventus pauses. The journals are supposed to be for communication, so there's a lot he could talk about, but where to start?

...Well, there is one thing.]

Anyway, I know that you guys come from all kinds of worlds. So what's your world like?

[Later tonight, people passing by might spot Ventus chilling on the roof of House 39. But why is he out so late in the first place?

Given how focused he is on the sky, it should be fairly clear. One of his favorite things to do back home was look at the stars, and given that the threat of Unversed seems next to nonexistent, there's finally a good opportunity to do just that.

Feel free to join him or maybe scold him for not carrying a blanket... or whatever floats your boat! In spite of the chilly weather, he doesn't seem too bothered, at least.]

I don't know, but there has to be some way! Anything's better than letting the world be destroyed.

Keep telling yourself that.

Really and truly!

Precisely.

I'm not surprised. Roxas thinks Sora's really important. He's done a lot for the worlds and the people on them.

What're they like?

[That grip on his Keyblade tightens a wee bit.]

Look, you can say what you want about my friends, but I'm always gonna believe in them, no matter what!

Yeah, that's what I heard. He does sound pretty impressive, especially since he's never been trained.

Not to mention that this place isn't as busy as some of the worlds I've visited.

Celty-san's... not quite as scary as you'd think she'd be.

I wasn't denying that. It's clear you'd go to all sorts of lengths to be with them... even self-delusion.

Assuming there is a way, yes.

What exactly do you mean trained anyway? What kind of training was he supposed to have?

Well, usually Keybearers are trained as apprentices first.

How come you're being so negative about it?

So the legend makes it seem like she's scary? How come?

It's not a delusion.

[Leer, leeeeer.]

Why does it matter to you, anyway? Can't you just leave us alone?

Well, you know what they say. Everyone needs a hobby.

Do you know how they're trained?

'course I do! I'm an apprentice, after all.

[He laughs. Man, it's weird having to explain this to future people. Do they really not have Masters?]

Basically, Keyblade apprentices are trained by their Masters to protect the worlds, and someday when they become strong enough, they can take the Mark of Mastery exam and become Masters themselves.

[She doesn't say anything for a bit because the real question here is why the heck didn't Sora have to go through any of that.]

How long do the Keyblade apprentices usually have to train? Just until they're strong enough?

I think it's a pretty long time. I've been training with Master Eraqus for years, but he wouldn't even let me leave home.

Years? You must have been training since you were really young then.

It's been at least four years, maybe even longer. I can't really remember anything from before the Master took me in.

...nothing at all? Do you know why?
