KH: WB Cutscene 112

Cory: Is... Is this my home?

(They walk to the opening of the cave, until they heard a voice)

Lord Gondalf: This world has been connected.

Bugs: What was that?

Lord Gondalf: Tied to the darkness... Soon to be completely eclipsed, There is so very much to learn, You understand so little, A meaningless effort, One who knows nothing can understand nothing.

Daffy: What's... Going on?

Lord Gondalf: The world's now tied to the darkness and will be completely eclipsed soon.

Bugs: What?! Impossible, we destroyed every single Nightmares!!

Lord Gondalf: Take a look at this tiny place, To the heart seeking freedom this island is a prison surrounded by water. And so this boy sought out to escape from his prison, He sought a way to cross over into other worlds. And he opened his heart to darkness.

(Gondalf turns and Carver’s body melts away, revealing the true form of the man, the Nightmare symbol emblazoned on his chest)

Cory: (reaching out to him): Carver!

Lord Gondalf: Don’t bother. Your voice can no longer reach him where he is. His heart belongs again to darkness. All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different, Darkness sprouts within it, it grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came.

(They hear his voice behind them and whirl around as he speaks, having teleported. Cory jumps back)

Lord Gondalf: You see, darkness is the heart’s true essence.

Cory: That’s not true! The heart may be weak. And sometimes it may even give in. But I’ve learned that deep down, there’s a light that never goes out!

(Gondalf rises into the air, crossing his arms. He stares down at them through piercing orange eyes)

Lord Gondalf: So, you have come this far and still you understand nothing. Every light must fade, every heart return to darkness!

Cory: How... How are we gonna stop this?

Lord Gondalf: You can't unless you go to the Nightmare World.

Cory: Then take us there!

Lord Gondalf: Ok, I'll take you there. And you must defeat the King and restore and rescue the world.
