Prologue: A Never Ending Cycle

Once upon a time, there existed a giant tree that was the source of mana. A war, however, caused this tree to wither away, and a hero's life was sacrificed in order to take its place. Grieving over the loss, the goddess disappeared unto the heavens. The goddess left the angels with this edict: "You must wake me, for if I should sleep, the world shall be destroyed." However, our story begins long before this, at the end of a journey to stop a cycle of hatred that threatened the existence of humanity.

The four Warriors of Light were on the edge of victory. They had restored the crystals, and had defeated the Four Fiends. But, they had one final obstacle: the mind behind everything, the demon known as Chaos. They had traveled two thousand years into the past, into the lowest levels of the Chaos Shrine, and had confronted the beast, and were prevailing. But, the battle wasn't over yet...

The blue blade of the Ultima Weapon aimed itself at Chaos, guided by Leo, the Light Warrior of Earth and Knight. He stared at the fiend that was the root of all the pain and sorrow in the world, and said, "It's over Chaos, you've got nothing left. The cycle is broken now, and everything will return to the way it should be."

Chaos laughed, startling all of the Light Warriors, and then said, "You truly think this is over? You are even greater fools than I had thought! Feel my true wrath, as you fade into oblivion! Nega Flare!" The warriors saw dark energy begin to gather in front of Chaos, and then explode outwards, wounding them horribly.

The tactician of the group, Homac, the Light Warrior of Fire and Black Wizard, was the first to get to his feet. He was breathing heavy and bleeding profusely, but managed to use a Hi-potion on himself, and started to give orders, "Mikoto, can you cast anything?"

The brown haired woman, who was the Light Warrior of Water and a White Wizard, managed to get to one knee and say, "I don't have much MP left, here's the last of it. Healaga!"

The wounds on the warriors faded enough for them to stand, but they were still hurt badly. Homac began to quickly give orders again, "Leo, Sarisa, attack now while he's worn from using the spell!"

The knight and ninja charged the demon, managing to get a few slashes before being knocked away, but they had done their job. Chaos was quickly sinking into death.

Unfortunately, Chaos still had a trick up his sleeve. He began laughing again, maniacally, and then said, "It's not over! As long as my spirit survives, this cycle will continue! I will survive, while you all perish here!" With that, Chaos seemed to fade away, his soul leaving his body to disintegrate, and the Light Warriors to be left in confusion.

Homac looked over at Mikoto, and began forming what he knew would be his final plan. He handed the other wizard an ether and took one for himself, then began giving his orders, "Mikoto, I've got a plan, but it may sound suicidal. Are you up for it?"

The entire group looked at him, with Mikoto voicing their opinions, "We're all for it. What are you thinking of?"

The black wizard stared quietly at them, "We need to follow Chaos, even through time. My plan is to seal our souls into our crystals, so we can help the next generation of Warriors who will rise to oppose Chaos in the future. To do this, we'll have to combine black and white magic. Mikoto, do you think you can do this?"

Mikoto nodded, and the two began their ultimate spell, lighting the four crystals they held. After a long incantation, their bodies faded away, and the crystals disappeared, going to where they would be needed next, letting the legend of the Warriors of Light fade into legend.

There we go; the prologue to my new story. The Tales part of the story will begin next chapter, when the new Warriors of Light begin to appear. For any of you who have read my other story, it'll update soon, I'm just having a bad case of writer's block.

Well, until next time!
