Hiya! This is a short story about me falling into Legendia and saving two people from eternal damnation or something like that. Ah well, hope you guys like it!
I was tired, that's all I remembered that night…
One of my friends had moved away that week, and I was still feeling the affects of depression. I sluggishly walked up to my room and tried reading, playing Super Smash Brothers Melee on the little blue Gamecube, drawing, writing; nothing friggin' worked! I looked over and saw my Tales of Legendia game in a corner of the box that held all my video games.
'Might as well.' I thought as I picked up the case and opened it with a soft click. I took out the game and put it in my PS2 before asking myself briefly. 'Where was I in this again?'
I picked up the controller and picked out one of the small blocks of memory and heard a small jingle as the screen faded to black. I waited about fifteen seconds before asking myself confusingly. "What the heck?"
I opened the cover of the PS2 and looked at the back of the disk. I gasped in horror and then an immense hatred took over me; the diskette had a single deep scratch from top to bottom. I screamed in fury and threw the disk at the wall. With a silent crack, it split in two.
I was too angry to notice that small electrical blue lines had appeared on all the walls in my room. I was about to rip apart my long leather coat when I noticed the slight sparking noise behind me. I looked over my back and saw a bluish, almost clear in front of me, right above the two broken halves of the game disks. I backed up, my eyes wide in confusion and fear. It kept growing larger and larger, and then it touched my foot. I instantly felt a freezing feeling spread through my bones. It kept widening. It ended up engulfing me completely, the icy feeling of fear creeping up my spine.
I closed my eyes, desperately tried to will away the shuddering feeling, but then I felt strange too. I felt lighter, and all the breath flew out of my body. I tried to breathe, but an invisible cloud floated in front of my mouth, making me unable to do a thing. My sight blurred, an inky darkness floated in from the sides of my eyes as I blacked out.

I woke up, eyes looking up to see a blue sky painted with creamy white clouds. I sat up and breathed, my throat sore and scratchy. I coughed and soon heard a light female voice speak.
"Hey, she's awake!" I sat up and saw two faces looking at me. One was a young woman with blond hair styled into two ponytails, eyes wide in concern and suprise. The other was a serious blond man who had hair covering one of his eyes, but the irritated façade he wore told me that he wasn't the friendly type. They both had elaborate blue and white clothes on with a few orange accessories. The woman looked at me, a look of concern plastered on her face.
"Are you ok? You almost drowned in the sea!" The woman said walking towards me to see me better. I looked around and saw a huge ruby-red ledge with the huge deep blue ocean in front of me. I gasped and coughed a little afterwards. The man spoke while I was coughing.
"Fenimore, I still don't see why we had to save that idiotic Orerines." He said bluntly.
The girl known as Fenimore marched up to him and glared at him. "She would have drowned! You think I would just let her kick the bucket!?" She yelled back at him angrily.
He crossed his arms and turned to the sea. "Still, that doesn't explain how she's able to see us; or better yet why we're still here." He said with a somber tone.
She nodded her head. "True." She said thoughtfully.
I stood up and walked over to them. "Hey… where am I anyway? And who are you?" I said tired and confused after my coughing subsided.
They looked at each other briefly before the girl Fenimore exclaimed. "Do you have amnesia or something? You're on the Legacy, at the Alter of the Sea." Alter of the Sea… The name rung a bell in my head. She looked over at the man and he shrugged. "Oh, sorry! My name is Fenimore. My true name is Xelhes, and this is Walter. His is Delques." He looked away with an annoyed façade plastered on his face. I smiled a little. For some reason, I couldn't remember what my name was… So I went with a cooler sounding one that I liked.
"My name's Onyx Taisho, nice to meet you both." I looked over their clothes and saw that while Fenimore only had a single slash in the front of her dress; Walter has tears all over the edges of his clothes and slashes on his sleeves.
"Sorry if I'm rude but, where did you get all those marks on your clothes?" Fenimore winced a little and Walter tensed. 'Why were they afraid?' I thought as she answered.
"Um, that's one of the things we need to ask you… How can you see us?" I looked at them confused. What the hell were they talking about?
"W-what are you two taking about; of course I can see you!" I stuttered, confused.
I looked over at Walter walking towards me, and I resisted the urge to step back. He grabbed my wrist and I looked at his scarred hand. It flickered a second and it seemed to fade through my hand as he let his arm drop. My eyes widened and Fenimore looked at me with a sad look.
"I'm saying that you're the only one who can see us. We've been dead for two months."
Was that ok for a first chapter? I always wanted to put Walter and Fenimore back into the ToL storyline again, but with them dead it's kinda hard… ' Anyway, if I get a single review I'll update soon afterwards. Deal? Hope you liked it, Sayonara!
