~*Chapter 1: An Ancient race discovered!*~

*******************

An Ancient Race Discovered Ten Miles West of Balamb Garden

On September 23 a boy from Balamb stumbled upon a wonderful find. He reported his findings to the local authorities who immediately took the discovery away from him and took all the credit. The find spread around the world and archeologists from all over the world came to look at the find. Then the smart-ass scientists came and, with the help of the archeologists, discovered what they were... *drum roll* An ancient race of skeleton people! Their life style is still a mystery but it is a safe bet that they did not and could not eat or drink anything.

We asked several locals on what they thought of the topic. One 12 year old responded to the disturbing news by screaming, "COOL!". A 17 year old male with a scar on his forehead replied, "Ahhh... I met them once back in the day! See this scar? They gave me that scar! It was all back in the way between the skeleton people and Garden, but back then-" He was about to continue until we heavily sedated him.

But even more startling. Another ancient race was found buried just a few feet away from them. It seems that archeologists had stumbled upon an ancient race of pot people. They looked like normal unbroken pots but that's just because they're dead. It would seem to make the most sense that the pot people and the skeleton people lived in harmony because they were buried so close to each other.

Even more startling was that it seems there was an even older race of dirt people! Scientists discovered this when one of them tripped and fell into a pile of the ancient people. That particular scientist says this, "My gosh, it scared me so much! All of their poor little corpses!" after our short interview the man began to cry and sing the Barney theme song.

In conclusion, it's a safe bet to say we will discover many more ancient races at the rate this is going. And we all hope we find out more about their strange civilization.
