It seems very easy for everyone to see the Master of Masters as the obvious traitor, who did it all for no other reason than to see the world burn.

 

While that's an understandable conclusion, I thought I'd discuss another possibility.

 

The Master of Masters is just as much a victim of Destiny as the Foretellers and Luxu are.

 

By which I mean, the Master of Masters is able to see the future, and when he gives Luxu his role, he says that the only reason he can do it is because Luxu successfully passed no name down.

 

He ALSO says that Luxu can't have a copy of the Book of Prophecies because due to his role, he might end up causing a paradox. I mean, the Foretellers are all gonna die, that's foreseen, so them knowing the future doesn't matter because they can't change it and them having the Books WAS in the Book. But because Luxu has no such clause, him knowing the future would mean he could change it, causing a paradox.

 

I mean, if the Book says something, and Luxu sees it and changes things, then the Book, which can be written by the MoM knowing the future, would automatically change what was written for what REALLY went down, but then Luxu would never have seen what caused him to change the future in the first place.

 

The MoM is basically in that situation. One day, he wakes up being able to see the future, and he knows that is only possible because of his own future actions, and he writes a Book that tells him of a bad future. But by then it's too late to change it, because if things went differently he would never have seen that result in the first place.

 

Meaning the MoM's only option is making sure everything goes exactly as the Book said, because it's now the only possible future.

 

So, you know, he's a victim of Destiny, and Destiny is never left to chance.

Hmm, I see what you did there, trying to make me look like a victim instead of the mastermind...because after all, things that are destined to happen cannot be rewritten, so you may be onto something!

 

So in other words, I'm simply following the machinations of fate and fulfilling my role in all this just as much as the others are, eh? Most interesting! I still believe that I'm doing all this for another purpose though, most probably to attain the power of Kingdom Hearts for my own, you know what I'm saying?

 

But the whole thing about Luxu not being allowed to see the book because it could cause a paradox means that things could be rewritten to an extent...most interesting...

The book and the betrayal it speaks of I she an excellent example of a self fulfilling prophecy. It happened because it was sad to happen. ANd because the foreteller's believed there was a traitor among them, they betrayed each other in order to find out who it was.
