I have a few questions for suggestions in how I am to take this fic.

1. Should I have Mint/Rue undertones, insinuations, or one sided longing.

2. Would you prefer actual dialogue from the game, or summarized.

3. How does my HTML look, did I do a good job, a bad job, any suggestions?

4. When/If I ever complete this, should I attempt the Rue version?

Please, If you already reviewed, leave your answer in my email. Thank You.


Praise be to Pestruska DYIT, for through her patience, good humor, and guidance I have

finally come to understand how to properly use the HTML.

Lunarian: Hello everyone! I love this game and really wish there was more to it, but oh well :p So I was sitting here and I though, " Hey, I wonder what I could come up with in my own retelling of events ". So, what do you think? Disclaimer- ? I don't know... don't know how to do this.... Uhm... everything is owned by the people who own it and not me. *sweatdrop*.

~Prologue~ -- The Beginning --

In the big blue sea of waters, a lone ship slowly makes its way to port to a small town called Corona. The passengers on the ship are all standing out on deck breathing in the fresh sea-breeze air. Just taking in the whole calm seas atmosphere, seagulls cawing, waves gently crashing against the bow, metronomic ocean movement, and the warm sun caressing their worries away.

Nothing seems out of the ordinary with this trip, it is a trip taken many times to and from this small harbor by this transport. And yet, yet, there is something decidedly different about this particular trip, something that will forever change the lives of the people of Corona. Whether by chance, or by the cosmic forces of the universe, or by fate, or just possibly by sheer dumb luck... This voyage is carrying two very important players in the near futures history.

On one side, there is Mint. The dishonored princess of the mystical East Heaven Kingdom, elder daughter of the king. A talented, but slothful magician, with a kind hear deep down under the layers of selfishness and irresponsibility. Perhaps a little too far down however, since her lazy and careless lifestyle as the "future ruler" left her in the position to being overthrown from her place in line for the throne in favor of her younger sister Maya.

Maya, Mint's younger sister, became the successor to the throne after the elders council convened and voted Mint out. Where as Mint was lazy in her studies, Maya knows the score and with help of Doll Master and the kingdoms most powerful [relic] the Book of Cosmos appears as a much more "suitable" future ruler. Don't let all that fool you into thinking she's a perfect little angel however, she enjoys tormenting Mint with pumpkins, the one thing she hates the most. A typical sibling rivalry with the elements of magic and royalty added in to flame the fires of vengeance even higher.

It has now been two years since princess Mint ran away from the palace in hopes of coming back one day stronger and taking back her rightful place. She now seeks for a [relic] of her own to rival Maya's Book of Cosmos and put the sisters on an even playing field once again. Now the only things on her mind are world domination and vengeance against her sister, and she believes that with a [relic] on her side she can easily achieve those goals.

If there is one thing that Mint has an excess of it is her titanium tight determination and power of her will. Basically when she sets out to do something it will be done, or attempted up to within every ounce of her being. A cheerful, playful and highly active young lady, Mint inspires energy and enthusiasm to those around her whether she realizes it or not. Her magic rests not just in her powers, but in her ability to liven up a room with just her presence.

Mint's looks are deceptively kawaii, she has flowing pink hair that she wears in her traditional hairpieces with little bangs hanging down past her ears. Eyes of ebony black peer out from underneath her strands of pinkness. Wearing her royal bluish-purple clothing with white vertical rectangles, and leggings and boots. A first glance of her could be misleading if one doesn't notice her commanding authority or her ever ready magical attack rings hanging by her side, considering how well her outfit goes together and makes her quite cute.

Of course to be fair to her nature, one must also still look into her faults ever apparent. She would take the easier route if at all possible, she is greedy, has a cynical nature at times, can be downright rude and obnoxious and has a hard time accepting help or giving gratitude. Yet all that is but a part of her charm, she wouldn't be the Mint all would come to know and love if it wasn't for her fiery and self sufficient attitude. Still in her heart of hearts, she will do the right thing in the end.

On the other side, there is Rue. A mysterious lad with no visible past or history. He used to live with his guardian and appointed sister Claire out in the woods at a little hut, a rustic wilderness lifestyle of peace and joy. This was shattered three years ago on a snowy night when a being calling itself the "arm of death" murdered Claire when she tried helping Rue defend himself against him. Ever since that time, Rue has been on a search for a [relic] that can bring Claire back to life.

Rue is a very quiet individual, quiet and reserved, yet not so to the point of shyness. He is more of the brooding type, being calm and collected, except for when doing battle. In battle he fights with supreme skill wielding a large axe and an exuberant strength. In a word, he has the ideals of a knight of sorts, with kindness, compassion and an eager to help attitude. There is more, much much more then meets the eye concerning young Rue however.

While Rue may not have magic at his command, he does have the unique ability to assume the form of monsters. Not only can he take their shape, but he can also use their abilities, from physical to magical. Through his inginuity and versability Rue can overcome any obstacle in his path towards the [relic].

Even his clothing reflect his persona, they give off the appearance of a soft-spoken wilderness person who is practical yet senseworthy. A beret-ish cap with horizontal stripes top red, middle green, and bottom yellow cover his white hair and black eyes. A plaid shirt of a white and black checkerboard pattern adorns his overall green forest themed suit, with orange gloves and brown boots.

Two opposing forces vying for control of an object of immense powers. One for the retrieval of an innocent life lost prematurely. The other for world domination and vengeance. Both arriving at the same time to the same town, both shall forever change the lives of many. Only one can acquire the [relic] and have their wish granted and win.

The question is, who shall it be?
