Chosen Again Chapter One: The Great Kharlan War, A History, by: Kratos Aurion

"Darn research projects!" she cursed, looking through the books she had piled on the library table. Normally, projects were no problem for her... especially those she was required to do for history. For the most part, she could put off the project until the last minute. Yup, she's a procratinator... but it always seemed to work out for her. She's never gotten anything but "A"s in her life. The great part was, even when she only had the hour between waking up and going to school to work on the project she always got an awesome, if not perfect, score WITH minimal effort. Seriously, she didn't even try... she was just some freaky nerd who always got every answer right... so strange.

Today was out of the ordinary for her. She couldn't even figure out what to do her project on! Chibulka had assigned the new freshie honors class a BIG history project. She told them to look up a war... and not just any war, but the oldest one they could find. Because of limited library resources and websites that EVERYONE knew about, they were all bound to have the same project. The thing that this girl I was talking about hates the most, is being like other people. She was always trying to be different... so she could be called an individual.

She really didn't want to have the same project as the other kids... especially Maggy, her best friend and greatest academic competition. Yes, she was her best friend, but sometimes... the little green monster of jealousy decided to loom over the friends... our so far main character sometimes thought about the friendship and what was going on. She loved Maggy like a sister, but sometimes asked herself if the friendship was worth it. They had known each other for years... they'd been best friends for as long as they could really remember. Ever since Tor(our main character thus far) had taken out that bully back in the first grade. Back then, everyone had recess together... the fifth graders could even play with the first graders... Christ, whose idea was that system anyway!?! So... there was a fifth grade bully that was always making fun of , picking on, and hurting the first graders. One day, Tor snapped. She wouldn't take it any more. She couldn't stand to watch people suffer like that, so she got rid of the problem. She confronted the bully and... well, for a first grader, she was pretty tough. She beat the snot out of that giant freak.

Maggy had been friends with Tor ever since... and maybe a bit before... I don't quite recall. Tor served as a protector for all of her friends, especially Maggy. She was the smart girl, but also the strong girl... coincidentally, she had trouble making new friends. People always seemed to be intimidated by Tor... by either her intelligence or strength. Seeing as she was stronger than most of the guys at school... she had yet to find a boyfriend.

All the events of her life, friendships(and lack there of), competition, the quest for individuality... it all drove her to do her best this time, now that she was in highschool. She HAD to find the greatest war ever. She had to write the greatest report ever, make the best models, draw the best pictures, and have great and credible sources for her research. Thinking things through some more, she set down the book she'd been looking at.

"The War of 1812? As if! That's still way too recent! AAAAAHHHHH! This is so... so... FRUSTRATING!"

"Tor! You must be quiet in the library! You know the rules!" the librarian hissed.

"ACK! Sorry ma'am," she whispered back. Sighing, she resumed her search. "The Kharlan War? I've never heard of that. Let's see...

The Kharlan War, A History, by Kratos Aurion. Interesting. Cruxis? An organization of angels? I thought this was a nonfiction book...

'The war was finally ended by the Hero Mithos.' Interesting. 'It was first thought that he merely stopped the war by making peace, but he did not. He used the power Origin, the King of the Summon Spirits, to split apart the world. It became two seperate worlds, one called Sylvarant and the other known as Tethe'alla.' That's impossible! The world coudn't break into two!" the girl exclaimed.

She became engulfed in the story and read the entire book, right there in the school library. She missed her next few classes, but was amazed at what she read. Finally, Maggy stopped by the library, wondereing where her best friend had disappeared to. "Tor! There you are! How long have you been in here? It's time to go home. You missed class!"

"ACK! What!?! I missed class! NO! That can't be! What time is it?" Tor gasped.

"I told you, it time to go home. Can't you figure out from that that its tree o'clock? Jeeze!" Maggy groaned, none the less putting on a smile. "Really, Tor. Come on. We better get going."

"It's time to go home, and I've been here since second period! I missed almost the entire day of classes! Wait, what do you mean 'we' have to go?" Tor said, her mind finally catching up to reality again.

"We have to go to my house to work on our bio project, remember?" Maggy replied.

"Oh, right! Can we PLEEEEEEEEASE do the project on reptiles and amphibians! You know how I love frogs, toads and snakes! They are so COOL!" Tor grinned.

"Wow, we better get going now if we expect to get there before bedtime." she groaned, holding her head. Tor could be so strange some times. Maggy just shook her head.

"What do you mean by that?" Tor asked, starting to fume. Sometimes, Maggy was just too mean... that was probably because Tor herself was mean... and not a very good influence on Maggy... oh well, she wouldn't take the blame for it anyway.

"I mean that with you attention span, I have this feeling that we'll be stopping quite a lot on the trip home."

Tor checked out the book on the Kharlan War. She didn't think it was real, but she had to try asking her teacher about it. The book WAS marked as nonfiction... maybe she could do her report on it... by what the book said, this war was incredibly old. Probably the oldest war ever recorded.

After an hour or so of working on the bio project, Tor got ready to leave for home. Shoving her bio book into her back pack, she got up to leave.

"Tor, you had trouble squeezing the book in you bag. What's that HUGE book you have in there? It looks like it's taking up all the space." Maggy said, walking over to try and get a good look at the book.

"It's nothing!" Tor shouted. "Um... see ya!" she called running out the door. "LATERS!" she called from half way down the block, as Maggy seemed to be following her out the door.

"Tor, you are one strange person." Maggy said sighing and closing the door.

Me: Well, what do you think so far? I know that the characters from the game aren't in there yet, but look out! Lloyd and Collette are going to be in the next chapter... and WOOOOT! Why woot? Because Zelos is going to be in my story! Yay for Zelos!

Read and review! If you don't, Zelos will be upset. He really wants his hunnies to review!
