I'm a little late to the Vesperia party, but I recently got Radiant Mythology 3 (PSP) and ToV (PS3). I'm addicted again. I figured it's time to write something for it. I haven't written in ages, though, and have no intention of being a pro author. If you can enjoy this, that's cool. If not, that's cool too. It's really just for my own enjoyment... but if you can enjoy it with me, that's all the better~ You're welcome along for the adventure!
Shippers be warned: YurixEstelle is strongly present.
Tales of Vesperia: Lights and Shadows
PROLOGUE
Everything happened in slow motion. Yuri and the others were too far away. There was too little time. Even so, Yuri ran. And though he was not aware of it at the moment, the others were only a split second behind him. The barrier was crumbling, and there was nothing standing in their way anymore.
Nothing except distance.
"Don't do it!" Yuri screamed.
It all felt surreal and as if he had no control over his own body. He found himself unable to think, unable to breathe. All he could do was run.
"I'm sorry," Estelle said, tears running down her cheeks. She offered one last smile to her friends… to her family. "Please don't let it trouble you."
Yuri lunged forward and stretched out his hand in desperation. He was yelling, and everyone behind him was yelling.
It was just too far.
The princess steadied the blade of her sword at her chest, aiming for her heart. And then, in one swift motion and with a sad smile on her face, she ran herself through.
