CHAPTER ONE: World Transition

Scene: A giant outcropping of rock on the boundary of a walled city. The walls run into the rock and stop; however, a set of stairs is carved into the rock leading up to the top. A boy is sitting on the rock staring out at the sunset.

Boy (thinking): ...Where are you at? ...Haidar...

Viera: Tsuuuuuuukasaaaaa!!

Tsukasa: starts Fio, is that you?

Fio: Who else could it be? Come on, dinner's ready back at the Skyseed.

Tsukasa: Great. What's Blare serving?

Fio: Another one of her creations... One we HAVEN'T had.

Tsukasa: annoyed and sickened Oh, great... hopefully it isn't as bad as that Malboro stew she made...

Fio: Let's hope... Race ya back there! takes off running

Tsukasa: Hey, no fair! runs after

Scene: A fancy dining room with lots of small tables which can accomodate up to four people.. Two boys are sitting at a table by themselves.

Older Boy: Man, this dinner sucks.

Younger Boy: Really? I kind of like duck.

Older Boy: Good for you. I don't.

Younger Boy: You know, moping about having to come here won't change the fact we're here. You could try to enjoy yourself, at least.

Older Boy: Yeah, well, right now I'm just upset. How could she send us here?

Younger Boy: Well, you know how Aunt Fernris is... she's always hated us, and with Mom... gone, and Dad not being with us anymore, she saw the opportunity to get rid of us.

Older Boy: Well, at least we're both here together, and we won't be seeing her again. So, what classes do you have?

A bell rings

Younger Boy: You haven't even touched your food, and now we have to go to bed...

Older Boy: shocked BED?! NOW?!

Younger Boy: a little TOO happy Looks like we know who wasn't paying attention to the Headmaster. Oh well... there's always tommorow.

Older Boy: Yeah, yeah. Don't go all Zen on me.

Younger Boy: What room were we in again?

Older Boy: Uhhhh... I think it was 3-14.

Scene: Room 3-14 on the third floor of the dorm building.

Younger Boy: Woooooow, it's so big in here!!

Older Boy: Oh, that's right... you had to go on a tour so you wouldn't get lost. Right, Kiegan?

Kiegan: Yeah, that's right... It was SOOOO boring! The headmaster kept droning on and on... you're lucky, you know that?

Older Boy: Heh, yeah... cause they expect us high schoolers to have a map. Man. Only four more years, and then we're both out of here.

Kiegan: Huh? What do you mean by that, Gare?

Gare: Well, see, when I graduate, I'll be 19. Right? That's old enough to claim custody, and you'll just live with me when I'm at college. When I graduate there, you should be close to graduating high school. Understand?

Kiegan: Yeah,uh... sad No...

Gare: Don't worry about it. Come on, let's get ready for bed.

Later that night...

Gare and Kiegan are both in bed

A piercing beam of light hits both of them. (no, they aren't being abducted.) Both of them disappear. As they are shooting through a vortexy tunnel, both of them seperate and go in different directions.

Scene: A burning town.

(outside a house)

Gare appears, and is dropped on the ground.

Gare: Ow! What the heck?

(A woman runs past him, and a hume chases after her.)

Gare: Uh, where am- ... great, they're gone.

gunshots

Gare: shocked What the heck was that?! as if suddenly noticing This town's on fire! Someone must've sieged it... I guess. I mean, if a house had caught on fire, the other people would've put it out. I guess... Speaking of which, what's up with the Middle Ages look, anyway?

more gunshots

Gare: Aw, screw this! I'd better get out of here!

Meanwhile...

A girl is sitting next to a fire. What looks like a turkey is roasting over it (it's a cockatrice... I guess)

Kiegan appears behind her

The girl hears and whirls around, putting a amethyst crystal dagger to his throat

Kiegan: What? Hey! What's that for!

Girl: Who sent you? Tell me! NOW!

Kiegan: No one sent me! I don't even know where I AM! I've never even seen you before!

Girl: Fine. pulls away dagger, which disintegrates And your name is?

Kiegan: My name's Kiegan Lupis. I don't know where I am, or where my brother is, or even what happened!

Girl: Right. Well, I'm Haidar...
