Hello all. I write this because all stories need to be told, but not all can be seen for themselves.
Enjoy.

Final Fantasy 9
The Novel
Prologue
There are times, there are ages, and there are worlds. I now bring you to a time of mist, of monsters, of alternate worlds, and of a new fascinating and wonderful adventure. Our story begins a long time ago, when a small ship is caught in a terrible storm. Two hooded passengers, their faces wet, look out over the water and hold on tight to the boat, hoping to survive the raging sea. The sea whips them around and it seems there is no hope for the little boat's passengers. If they live or not, well that, my children, is a mystery.
Many, many years later, a princess wakes from a troubled nap. She is beautiful, with raven hair, and light brown eyes. She is said to be the most beautiful of all the people in the land, but the quietest, the most troubled. She wipes her eyes, hoping to erase the signs of drowsiness, and looks to the window.
It is a beautiful day out, and the princess rises to look outside. She pushes the window open, thus sending the birds perched there out into the sky. She has awoken just in time to watch the grand theatre ship, the Tantalus, sailing gracefully on the mist, come into its perch near the castle. She hopes the play they perform will lift her spirits.
