"Once, there was prosperity.
"Three tribes thrived of old, and gave birth to Divinity.
"Then, there was war.
"The rift between god and mortal cut through the tribes like a blade.
"Then there was desolation.
"A vast emptiness, and nothing more.
"Two centuries went by…
"People survived, and pushed back against the edge of oblivion.
"Until today…
"In the middle of a bright sky, a shadow covered the moon…
"...and the forgotten ones swooped down from the heavens."
-PSZ Prologue
Phantasy Star Zero
A Hero's Tale
The gentle lull of a heavy rain woke me. Someone was shouting, but I couldn't tell what they were yelling from inside the darkness of my hazy brain. I began drifting into the black again, but the thing I was in shifted, making it impossible for me to escape reality. The someone that was shouting a name was in front of me now, and the rain pattered onto my face. The restraints that held me in place were released, and the person pulled me from the capsule I'd been in.
I know this voice. Who is it?
"Soldier! Can you hear me?" The someone shouted. He was trying to wake me up, get me to respond. I tried to tell him I was okay, but my mouth wouldn't comply.
What's going on?
"If you're still alive, answer me!" The voice seemed fearful. I tried to reply, I really did, but I simply couldn't.
Who am I? What am I doing here?
"Get a medic over here!" The someone shouted. His voice was urgent, but why? I wasn't dying by going into the black, just resting.
My body is numb. Why can't I feel it?
"Don't you dare drift on me again! Stay awake!" A wave of energy washed over me, and I could feel for a second, but the sensation quickly faded and I shortly fell numb again.
Why won't you let me sleep?
"Again! Don't let him go!" The someone commanded as several consecutive waves of energy washed over me.
I'm going to sleep for a bit. Wake me up soon.
"He's drifting! No!" The darkness swallowed me.
A/N: so, I am really sorry about not updating on Saturday like I said I would! *feels bad*
