*Aria looks at it for a moment and then sighs. It is just as she expected.*

"It's a letter... Addressed to Ika and everyone else who was here. I can summarize it for you. She can write a lot."
Robert
"Sure. What's it say?"
Raymond
"Well, she apologizes for how she treated everyone, and wishes things could have gone differently... But it looks like she mainly wishes to explain herself a little more. Well, this will explain what you saw from her after she helped with Maleficent. This was when I was just learning the basics under her, but Mod had recently become a master. But the other student with her failed. Her name was Xigellivr, and she succumbed to jealousy. A jealousy that ate away at her heart."

"After the mark of master exam, she had disappeared for a while. Everyone thought she exiled herself for failing the exam. But, as you probably have guessed, she had instead ran off to find more power. And find it she did, in the darkness... She came back and almost destroyed everything, until Mod decided to seal Xigellivr in herself, taking the burden of keeping her locked away."

"As a result Mod needed her magic to be active at all times, and sleeping was one of the easiest ways to help stay in control. Soon Mod decided to create new items and equipment once she had finished training us, so she began to store as much magic she could, sleeping more often and becoming more passive to conserve as much as she could. But she didn't get a chance to make much, not knowing what you all needed exactly. That combined with her mistrust due to... Traitors. Er-I think I spoke a but much. I can let you have the letter to read at your own time if required."
Robert
"Thanks." *He takes the letter with a look of concern. She had been hiding this all along... But she had every reason to. Nearly everyone she trusted betrayed her. Wait, did she abstain from telling Xion about the man who replicated a Keyblade out of distrust? Did she know something was off with her?*

"After we seal the Door to Darknsss, deal with Pira, figure out Organization 13, and wrench Ika's Heart back out of Inaxuma... We'll help Master Mod fight off her inner demon and free her for good." *Dado stares at the letter with a determined expression, ready to take on this daunting list of unknown dangers.*
Raymond
"Dado... Mod wished to not be found... It took all Mod could to seal that darkness away. If we freed Mod, we could be dooming the worlds.."

"But... I admit I want to help her too. Let's start small and work our way up. I'll see if Mod was working on a solution. I wish I could go out there and help but I am not at my full strength... And I don't have a weapon. I gave my keyblade to Ika."
Robert
*She gave her Keyblade to Ika. But what if...?*

"So... How does 'giving' a Keyblade work?"
Raymond
"Oh, well you know how keyblades are picky with their wielders? Well there is way of giving the abilito to wield a keyblade to others. It is simply a Ceremony of Bequeathing. Only a Keyblade Master can do so, as someone would need to be around the strength as one. This normally would let the master keep their keyblade while the student or chosen individual eventually got one themselves. However I Bequeathed my power and my Keyblade to Ika instead of just the power to wield one, since he already had one at the time. It is a little tricky and I never fully understood it.
Robert
"Damn." *He's definitely not Master material. After seeing Master Mod's full power, he's not even close.*

"Maybe your Heart can eventually reforge it? Or forge a new one?"

*Or maybe, when they get Ika out of Inaxuma, that'll be another thing they take back.*
Raymond
"I can figure something out. Master Mod was so powerful she was able to forge and upgrade keyblades. I should be able to forge a new one once I am more rested. But I want to ask more about what you know about the keyblade and your abilities. It would be a good baseline so I can teach you better."
Robert
*Oh shit, test time. Dado wracks his brain.*

"So, there are three ways to get one. Or, I guess, four ways now. Your Heart can forge it and call it forth. You can be bequeathed by a Master. You can be chosen by one." *At this, Kingdom Key pops into his hand.*

"And, apparently, you can manually forge one?" *Master Mod never mentioned that.*

"Keyblades are kind of alive, and can die. The choosey ones can have wills of their own, and goals." *Kingdom Key drags his hand back and forth in front of him, reminding him.* "This one is supposed to seal the Door to Darkness. It also has built-in tutorial features. It taught me how to lock, unlock, seal, cast some magic..."

"Oh, right. Keyblades are special because they can lock or unlock any lock, as well as seal or unseal things. Seals are different from locks, because they're magic, or something. Basic locking and unlocking is done by tapping an object, and sealing-slash-unsealing is done by shooting a beam into something. This is necessary for sealing Keyholes, the doors to worlds' hearts." *This man really said the slash in sealing/unsealing out loud. What a nerd.* 

"Keyblades are the only weapons capable of permakilling Heartless. Fiora... She was convinced she was useless for not having a Keyblade. I'm glad she has one, now, but... She was wrong." *He stops for a moment, then picks back up.*

"Also, there's this 'May your Heart be your guiding key' thing that Keyblade people say. Master Mod said it has multiple meanings. Before she... Sealed, err..." *He looks at the letter.* "Xij- Xijel- ugh. How'd you nail that on your first try?"

"Zi-Jel-Ee-Ver. Xigellivr. Wonder what language that's from...?"

"Anyways, before she sealed away *Xigellivr*, she told us it means doing what your Heart thinks is right. She said that was what being a Guardian of Light truly meant."

"It's also encoded instructions on how to travel with a Keyblade. If you focus on a destination or person, you can shoot a beam into the sky, create a portal, and go there."

"That's all I know, I think. I could be forgetting something."
