This is my first Crystal Saga story, maybe the only one… Crystal Saga is a role-playing game on .com. You are reborn from your last battle, and you embark on a new adventure. Trust me, it is fun, and sometimes you can attack other players also. This game is fun, really, I played it.

Note: I do not own Crystal Saga.

My name is Jennae. I have gone through a lot now, from facing much stronger enemies to making friends and foes. I am a priest, a female priest who has been experiencing a lot more than adventure; I was once dead, but was gifted by the Goddesses. So now, I must now live a new life. I have gained somewhat of a strange team, yet my partners are too busy to participate in my adventures. My partners are also…important to keep alive: the High Priest Epauch, King Valcory, and Monikov, a dream master. Most people believed that I have taken them and forced them to side with me. I didn't, and they are just wrong to say that.

Flashback…

"So, you are rumored to be a strong priest for some time, yes? Of course, that was then. And yet, I'm nothing but a dream master." Monikov told me before I went into the Glimmering Plains. He took my hand before I left. Then, he muttered, "…Can I come with you, to prove my worth?"

"…Yes, Monikov, you can come along. Here, I had this longbow for some time, and I had no one to give it to. I bet it can be useful to you." I say as I hand over a beautifully crafted longbow. Monikov took it in his hand and glances at the weapon.

Couple minutes later…

"Becoming a priest does take a lot of work, even though you only share your belief while you go along in your travels. I should say that you are mostly extraordinary for one fellow priest like you. Come to think of it…I remember a girl named Madeline who wanted to ruin your reputation. I don't want that fate to happen. So, I will leave this church for a while to assist you." That was when I see him with an Angel Staff. "…Shall we go, Jennae? We have a long road ahead of us."

Couple minutes later…again…

"I cannot leave the castle. Besides, I may be a king, but I must stay here."

"But your Highness, this young adventurer has ambitions! We don't know what we may come across! Do come with the three of us!" Monikov begged, bowing down multiple times. King Valcory, still disagreeing, shook his head no. After all, I guess that he can't go with us after all. So with me, Monikov and Epauch as a team, we set off with the rest of my journey. I suppose that nothing can't change his mind because of the responsibility he has on his shoulders.

Present time…

"Jennae, is something wrong? You look a bit…distant…" Epauch asks me as he sits beside me. I look at him, and sighed.

"We all nearly died back there…you know, in the Twilight Caverns? I don't want to face death a second time. I've already died once, and now I don't want to go through that again. And I don't want to lose my allies. Besides, if King Valcory joined us, we could be able to escape our fate." I mention. Of course, I was afraid to even admit it.

"I know it's hard." We somehow hear Monikov walking towards the two of us, holding a basket full of fresh fruit. He places a hand on my shoulder and looks down at my staff. It has been a long time I haven't been all too careless, except when we have entered Twilight Caverns. That place was the worst area I've done my training… Full of the undead, the three of us nearly died. We did manage to escape, but left severely injured.

"I don't think that the king would even come with us because he's…well, the king. We can't just take him with us because of that. He needs to have a reason to leave." Epauch points out, making an agreement with Monikov. Why am I the only girl who gets all the wrong answers, I thought to myself.

"Well, I guess we can set up camp here. Monikov, is it okay you can help me gather some firewood?" I begin to stand up, stretch my arms and walk away. The woods are thick, and fresh branches are ready to be used. I started to gather as much as I need. Monikov follows behind me and starts collecting firewood as well, his hands getting a bit full.

"I know you are frustrated, but maybe it's for the best that we leave the king at his post. If we see his daughter anywhere out here, I'm sure she can come with us." He calls out at a distance. I took his words in my head and kept collecting more fallen branches. That was when we heard Epauch yell… Our camp was being attacked. We dropped the firewood and rush back to the camp, where we see the High Priest pointing his staff at a small crowd of Stormchasers. I'm assuming that he's not the fighting type. I raised my staff high and called down a shower of light beams at the opposing crowd, slaying every single foe.

"…There has to be a time that you have to fight. Eventually you have to, even if we aren't around. You have to defend yourself, Epauch." I mention as I went back to gather the firewood I found. "Monikov, please stay here. We would need more than one person to watch our spot."

As I go back to get the firewood, some rustling was audible to my ears. Once I looked up, I see King Valcory's daughter: Hitomi Valcory. She is the princess, but the point is that she has a life full of adventure instead of royalty and luxury. She glances at me, and only glares in my eyes. She is one of my rivals because of two things. One: I'm a friend of her father, despite that I'm still considered as a new comer. And two: I was admitting that she must return back to Starglade, and yet she refuses and that I keep telling her to do so.

"What are you doing here, Jennae? I thought you would be in the Twilight Caverns, training." She calls out to me from the bushes; yep, she's still upset. I ignored her and continued my work. Then, her blade touches my neck; she really wants to strike me down. "I said, 'what are you doing here?'"

"…Getting firewood, what does it look like to you?" Hitomi laughed somewhat shortly, placing the sword up against a tree. She glares at me again. "I suppose you heard about that ugly rumor, yes. Me too, but that was not me. I did not mess around with your father."

It has been three days since someone spread an ugly rumor about me, messing around with the king. I was too young to even do that, and of course, the high priest will get onto me if I did. Now, Hitomi believes I had sex with King Valcory when I didn't. Monikov and Epauch believe me, but this princess doesn't. After all, she is my number one rival.

"I did NOT go into the castle! I did not even take a secret path to get there!" We argued for a good twenty minutes, but that's when Epauch heard me fighting with Hitomi. He asks me to leave her alone, and so I do, taking all the firewood with me. Indeed, I am completely mad. My mentor can see my anger in my eyes. He places a hand on my shoulder.

"I understand you are struggling with her and those words. But trust me; I know you never did it. Besides, I taught you better when you first came here." I smiled. He really is someone I can turn to for comfort. As we get back, Monikov was taking care of someone inside our tent. We looked inside, and I can't believe who the victim was…

"…King Valcory…"
