This is my first ACTUAL story. I am a HUGE fan of the "Tales of" series by NAMCO and I wanted to make my own series. I am not exactly skilled, so if you guys can please refrain yourselves from bombing me with offending words, I would appreciate it. Well, I'll finally shut up. Enjoy the epic story of Tales of Terresia.


Ch. 1 – The Beginning

"Fire...Blood...Death...I still remember all those things so clearly..."

(10 Years Ago)

"RUN!"

(There was screaming...Everyone panicking, like an apocalypse was occuring...)

"Get the children out of here!"

(So clear...So vivid...)

*Slash

"Honey! NO!"

(Please...Make it stop...)

"Mommy! No!"

*Slash

(Stop...Just stop...Please...)

"Kill them all!"

"Daddy! Please don't leave me! Daddy..."

(Please...Anyone...Stop this nightmare...)

"STOP!"

I finally woke up. Tears were falling from my face. Such atrocities...Unspeakable horror... My nightmare has been reappearing to me over countless nights.

"But if only if it was just a dream..."

I quickly got up and took a shower.

"Why...Why can't I just get rid of those memories...", I asked myself.

After cooling off in the showers, I went to the dresser and picked out my work clothes. While changing, I stared to the mirror. On my chest, there was a large scar.

"..."

I quickly turned my face away from the mirror and resumed to change. After changing, I went outside to tend my farm. Just as I stepped outside, someone was at my door step.

"Zack! Took you long enough! Hey, were you crying?", he asked.

"What? No!"

"Then why's your eyes so red and puffy?"

"It's nothing! So what do you want Hanks?"

"Oh! Thanks for reminding me! Elder Lamxewl needs to speak with you!"

"What? What for?"

"The hell should I know? He came to my pub and asked me to tell you to meet him."

"Huh...Well, tell him I can't. I have too much work to do today."

"Zack Macardle! Just do what your elders tell you to do!"

"Like your the one to talk Hanks."

"Why you little-!"

"Now if you excuse me, I have to work on the ranch.", I said to him. (How annoying...Why can't he just leave me in peace?)

"Hey Zack, what if I told you that the Elder had something to give you?"

"Meh. It's probably just some old junk. Not even worth one Gald."

I continued to walk away from Hanks.

"You sure? It's something that might have belonged to your parents."

Now that got my attention.

"Something...from my parents?"

"Yup. But since you said that you weren't interested, I guess he'll have to throw it away..."

I quickly sprang towards Hanks and grabbed his shoulders.

"Hanks! Tell me where the old man is!"

"Uh...I think he went back to his house."

"Thanks!"

I scurried off to Elder Lamxewl's house.

"Jeez...What a rude kid...", said Hanks quietly.


Oh! That reminds me! If you have any questions or any recommendations for the story, please tell me! I want to make this a great series for everyone to enjoy. Thanks again!
