How and why the likes of Skuld and Ephemera could appear in the current time period of the KH series

[Seyin95 175]

When the likes of Ephemera appeared in Chi, people automatically jumped on the bandwagon that he could be a seeker of darkness. I myself was semi sympathetic; semi skeptical. Carrying on when Skuld was introduced again people jumped on the bandwagon. Yet excluding the rebirth theory ( which off topic I'm still not a fan of) or some more complicated time travel rubbish, it didn't add up how they could appear in modern times.

 

However, I think this has changed without the need for Xehanort to be alive during the chi era adding a realistic prospective for a change. In the last story update Master Ava expressed knowledge of the up coming keyblade war and revealed her plans to create Dandelions ( awful name I know- especially since they are weeds) to send a special group of keyblade wielders to another world to escape the upcoming war.

 

If Square did wish to pursue this to modern times; then this could work within the storyline. Time flows differently depending on what realm you are in, so I propose the dandelions were sent to another realm. We've seen the Realms of light; darkness; sleep, inbetween. so it's extremely plausible there are other unknown realms out there; therefore if such realm exists then time would flow differently to that of the realm of light where the majority of the series takes place.

 

We know the keyblade war is a historic fact and I hate to break it to people but our own individual characters will probably die ( cheery thought). We also know the worlds were remade and were not United anymore; however I question whether the dandelions were successful. Kairi's grandmother in her fairytale story refers to the light of children being the cause for this. I do not believe these were the dandelions at all; after all if that was the case; one would expect a lot more wielders to present or a wider knowledge; also as those of you know fairy tales focus on all aspects and there isn't record of a ' key shaped weapon' or ' valiant Warriors'. Thereby I conclude the dandelions are still where Ava sent them.

 

This links to KH3 due to the fact if they are lost; you could have a hunt to find them. The idea of Xehanort knowing about this isn't unrealistic; especially since his master or the master's master could have been around to remember that individuals disappeared before the keyblade war. Thus making them the subject of legends almost like a concept of hidden treasure.

 

To provide a brief summary- consider the dandelions like King Arthur in British folklore, powerful and wise and waiting for a return. The interesting outcome would be how precious keyblade wielders adapt the new world they might find themselves in and that could be exploited to serve the darkness either as an ally to Xehanort or as a future antagonist

People tend to forget that even though the story of X and Unchained X is canon, you don't actually need to play it or know the story of those games. Playing them will make you go like "oh, nice I've played X" but nothing more. I don't think a player so important to X like Skuld or Ephemera will appear on KHIII, in my honest opinion.

 

(And on a side note, I also not a fan of the Rebirth Theory, it looks as cliché as time traveling to me)

The dandelions are sent to the Unchained realm. With the presence of Dream Eaters, it could be heavily implied that the Unchained realm is a Dream World that is intentionally submerged in sleep forever. In the realm of sleep, the world that is in sleep recreates characters and events in the worlds.

Even though Nomura said it I wouldn't trust him on that; this is the same guy who said it wasn't canon.

Just wondering, people are always talking about Ephemera and Skuld, but I have no clue who they are.  Are these characters released beyond the 250 events we've gotten for Unchained X?  I wanna make sure I didn't miss something and try and avoid spoilers.  Thanks!

Ephemera is a character introduced in X and later in Unchained. I think he appears past the 350 missions on unchained, but I'm not sure. Skuld is another character similar to Ephemera, but introduced in recent story updates in X.

I hope at the least Skuld appears.

 

Not only because she's another female keyblade wielder but it'll be a shame to leave such a cool character in a mobile game.

If they appear in the more modern day, then great. As for if they will, I don;t really see it. They may by a similar way that Master Xehanort obtained his keyblade: successors and descendants. Otherwise, I don't realistically see it happening.

But then that'd make these characters redundant if they don't return for Kingdom Hearts III. The X series has three iterations: that's more than enough to exclaim the character's relevance for Kingdom Hearts III.

Well we don't know what will happen in KHχ yet. We may get a better picture so for now, I will remain skeptical until I see something that says otherwise.

You're as ambiguous as Kingdom Hearts III, oh wait...

Now you get it?
