So we all know that the Foretellers have the book of prophecies and that the book of prophecies contains everything that will eventually happen but if they do then wouldn't they have expected a traitor and found out who they were and be able to prevent him/her from doing whatever they did just be reading at the book of prophecies? Just something I was wondering.

Well, with the only words we know that are written in the Book of Prophecies (so far), it's pretty safe to say that the book is quite cryptic and doesn't give clear answers. It's possible that within the book, it is written that there is a traitor but simply doesn't say who.

Maybe the lost page has the answer but you know, it is lost.

I'm hinging my guess that Leopardus will be the traitor. It'll be the whole Ansem the Wise situation all over again with his apprentices.

If we got by the "reincarnation" theory, Leopardus has the body shape of Ventus. He may be the traitor that is collaborating with the sixth Foreteller who may be the reincarnation of Xehanort. You see, before Ventus' light was strapped away from him, he was balanced with his light and darkness. 

Actually no. They had no clue what was in the book in the first place. Remember, only the grandmaster had the ability to see what will happen in the future. He wrote down what he saw and when he gave it to the apprentices, they learned of his ability to foresee events. The grandmaster did not tell them WHAT he saw though so when the Foretellers read there will be a traitor, it came as a surprise just like when they read "a war in that land shall cause the birth of darkness and death of light".

That would be interesting... But I have an idea that the sixth apprentice is actually the traitor (It may have some aspects from one of my fanfiction, but please hear me out). I mean, think about it: this "Master of Masters" they mentioned has an "eye" that allowed him to "see the future", and he may have saw a vision of his sixth apprentice causing a horrendous battle we all know as the "Keyblade War" by having his fellow apprentices turn against each other. With that vision, he wrote down the warning within the five copies of the Book of Prophecies and gave each copy to the Foretellers. He even took the sixth apprentice's Keyblade and hid it away in a world that will evenutally be known as the "Land of Departure" where, from one generation to another, Keyblade Masters watched over (originally the Keyblade of the Sixth Apprentice, but that reason/purpose was lost/forgotten as time passes: much like how the story of the Keyblade War faded away into legends) to prevent the history of the Keyblade War from repeating itself due to the vision regarding the Sixth Apprentice coming true. Which explains why Eraqus' reaction and this following quote "There is a reason the precepts bar us from such knowledge." in this cutscene:

As for Eraqus and Xehanort's Master, he/she may have been a Keyblade Master who watched over the Land of Departure without even knowing the world's original purpose. And Xehanort took the Keyblade due to sensing a connection/feeling that the Keyblade is his destiny when he looked up at that Keyblade during the KHIII trailer (Due to the reason that Xehanort is the reincarnation direct descendant of the Sixth Apprentice (if you consider the following theory from HMK: 

))

 

So what do you think?
