Chapter 1

Max lay awake in his bed. It had been one year since the Shining Force banished the Dark Dragon and since then dissolved. Ken, Mae, Arthur, Pelle, Vankar, Ernest, and Lyle had come back to Gurdina to rebuild the knights. Balboroy and Amon also returned to Gurdina to serve as lookouts. Lowe, Khris, and Torouso too returned to the Gurdinan region to increase the number of healers. Luke and Gort worked to rebuild the band of warriors. Hans and Diane serve as the castle's archers. Domingo and Yogurt just seem to hang around the castle. Adam performs manual labor around the castle. Koichi and Guntz returned to Bustoke. Koichi to continue his research, Guntz to serve as his new assistant. Gong returned to the mountain hut next to the gate of ancients. Tao and Alf went to Midreana to improve their skills. Zylo returned to forest next to Bustoke to resume his rain as the king of the forest. Musashi and Hanzo just seemed to disappear. Bleu returned to Rhindo as the last of the Guardian Dragons. Narsha, Mawlock, and Zuicka all returned to Runefest. Narsha as queen, Mawlock as strategist, and Zuicka as chief bodyguard. Anri began her rain as queen of Gurdina. And Max, he was the big hero and his voice returned. But one word remained on his mind…

Anri.
