Master Xehanort brings a comatose Ventus to the Destiny Islands after the latter's heart is damaged;[24] a newborn heart senses Ventus's heart and connects with it, saving him.[25] Years later, at the Land of Departure, Terra and Aqua take an exam to achieve the Mark of Mastery. Xehanort manipulates the exam so Terra fails while Aqua passes, lessening Terra's control of the darkness in his heart.
