Tales of Symphonia: Dark Beginnings
I do not own Tales of Symphonia or Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. I do own my waffles, though.
Disclaimer: There are spoilers for those who playing and/or anticipating for Tales of Symphonia and the spin-off sequel, so if you do not want to ruin the storyline for either games I suggest you to stop reading here, go outside, and do something productive for society.
Ugh. Why is it so hot around me? Fire? Ah, this is...
The boy looked around. Buildings were ablaze. Rubble was everywhere.
Where am I? Why is the city on fire? I have to find mother and father.
The boy walked on. As he did, he saw bodies lying on the fiery pavement. The town hall was in a ruin. The church was nothing but a burning hump of wood and brick. The smell of death was in his nose. He could see several of the dead lying on the ground with slash marks. Blood was everywhere. Then, he found them.
"Mother? Father?" The boy cried.
Blood was poring from both of them. His father was already dead. A deep wound was slashed across his stomach. His intestines were sprawled out in front of him in a bloody mess. His mother was lying next to him. Her blood was flowing out of her body like a river. A deep gash can be seen across her chest.
The boy yelled, "MOM!" He rushed to her side.
"E...mi...l, get away... from here..."
"Mom, don't worry, you'll be alright." Tears were flowing from Emil's eyes.
"Run... to Luin... Don't look back. The person who... did this was... L.. yd Ir... g," the mother collapsed.
"MOM!" Emil screamed.
Emil woke up in cold sweat. He took deep gulps and opened the window. It was a horrible nightmare. Why was he dreaming something so dreadful when the chosen of mana was going to regenerate the world? Whatever the case was, he hoped that this dream would not become reality.
