Foreword

This isn't the first chapter of the story. This is where the author (That would be me) gives answers to a few questions/replies to comments I KNOW I'm going to get… In other words, this is stuff you SHOULD know before you read. If you just want to start reading, go up to that purple arrow pointing to the right, and click on it.

Now then, since everyone who doesn't have the attention span for this is gone, let's get started.

First, be warned that I write this just as in a game. There will be little things telling you when you can use new techniques, there is HP, PP, and other things like that. I'll try to make those announcements in bold, but the document manager tends to screw things up a bit. So, Isaac and everyone else can keep fighting after getting cut, slashed, impaled, burninated, etc, just like in the game. This formula worked pretty well in my first story (Still in progress), so I figured, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. BTW, if any of you were wondering, this is my first GS fic, and my second fic total.

Next, yes, the genre for this story says Action/Adventure/Romance. If I could, I'd probably add slight humor to it. Don't expect this to be an angst-filled torment story like most of the other ones in this section. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the stuff, I just can't write it. What you can expect from me is more of a "never surrender, never say die" attitude. Maybe a few good sad scenes (Or love-induced insanity scenes), but don't bet on it. Or maybe I'm just underestimating my own ability… moving on…. There won't be much (If any) character death here either. Maybe mass deaths, but don't bet on character death. A bit unrealistic, maybe, but in this day and age, stories like mine are in a bit of a shortage. Like I said, I'm not going to try and move you to tears or anything like that. It's just not my thing. One more thing, if you were wondering, this story (and author) supports Isaac/Mia and Garet/Jenna. I'd do something with Sheba, but I'm undecided on whether to pair her with Ivan or Felix…

Next, you remember those rumors about new Djinn/psynergy types? I plan on putting that to good use, so, naturally, that means more adepts. The only problem is, I suck at making up OCs. So, I plan on using characters from other games as adepts. Trust me, you'll know them when you see them. Of course, the psynergy types have planetary alignments too, which I'll tell in due time. It would help to keep in mind my three other favorite RPGs, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy VII and Skies of Arcadia. While I wouldn't call myself a fanboy (Yes, I am a guy), chances are I'll draw several characters from these games. I'll just give 'em different pasts, and maybe tone some of their powers up or down a bit. You can also expect cameos from other things (like maybe various Anime), and I might throw Isaac into a Yu-Gi-Oh duel for the fun of it, if you guys let me get away with it^_^

Then, there's the matter of stats. As you should all know, you can check your character's status by going to the status menu. To simulate this, I end every chapter with a Status thingie, which has the character's name, equipment, class and number/type of Djinn, as well as any Psynergy/Special Attacks a character learned that chapter.

Lastly, I apologize, but updates may be a bit… slow. I get the feeling when all is said and done, you guys will have attempted to kill me several times, or worse, sent me muses, (All attempts at this shall be dealt with by my security force) for taking too long updating. This is due mostly to my freakin' long chapters and, as I already mentioned, the fact that I have another story in the works (It's a Kingdom Hearts story, if any of you would care to read it. Be warned that it crosses over with just about everything I can pull off my head. Eventually, even this game. But not yet.). Yeah, I think that just about wraps it up. So, go ahead and start reading the story now…
