Memory #28

Significant Neutral - 10 - Land of Departure - Mark of Mastery exam

Regained - Game #108, Three, choice cards

Shareable - Yes, three extra uses

(He hasn't taken this one yet, but he probably will soon.)

Cutscenes - Part 1 - minibossfight with spheres - Part 2 (minus that interlude with Xehanort and Vanitas)

- I'm in the Great Hall at home, Master is in his throne, Terra and Aqua are standing at attention while I'm off to one side like an observer--and Xehanort is there staring at me like a creeper. I clearly barely recognize him, or think he's a problem, but why the hell is he there ewwwwww. 8(
- Eraqus is examining Aqua and Terra for the Mark of Mastery. Their big day. I guess I get to watch, and hope it'll be me one day, and I'm on tenterhooks for both of them, I want them to pass so much.
- They're the youngest candidates in years. Because my friends are awesome.
- Eraqus summons balls of light for test fighting, they start glowing weirdly black and one of them goes for me--I swat it away. Aqua fusses, I tell her I'll be fine and there's no way I'm missing this. Terra says I can take care of myself.
- And then we kill some balls. \o/
- Now I'm back on the sidelines for the next test: Terra and Aqua fighting. No magic, just swordplay--they're both magnificent. There's this moment where Darkness seems to curl around Terra's hand and then it disappears.
- Time warp while the Masters deliberate--and then the announcement. Aqua's a Keyblade Master. But Terra failed to keep the Darkness within him sufficiently in check. Master said he would have another chance though...
- In retrospect, with what I learned in other memories, SO much unsure about Xehanort's role in that decision. 8|a
- Aqua and I both come up to support him as the Masters leave...poor Terra. He says he needs some time alone.

+ So that's the Mark of Mastery, and Aqua passed and Terra didn't.
+ WHY WAS XEHANORT THERE WHYYYY D8
+5 tendency to snap to attention at major moments.
+10 yay Terra says I can take care of myself.
+15 unsure about the whole Terra's Darkness thing...how much was okay, how much Master was being too hard on him.
+20 kyaa Master Aqua kyaa.
+30 gawd Terra must have felt awful about failing the Mark. 8(
