Yay! While writing my Persona 3 Portable fanfiction (Dream on a falling star) I came out with this other one. Totally new, there will be only OC characters (... um... maybe I'll introduce some characters by Persona 3 Portable or Persona 4...).

So, basically this fanfiction will be a sort of Persona story wrote by me. It begins 9 days after the end of Persona 4.

To be honest, this idea was born a lot of time ago, about one year, but I decided just today about adding it to my account. So, have mercy of me, okay?

Declaimers: except for characters coming from Persona 3, Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 and the other Persona titles (if you'll recognize a certain man at the end of the chapter you'll understand), all the others characters are my own propriety. Before using them in your own fanfiction, you'll have to ask my permission. However, I don't make any money off of it, because this story is written for pure pleasure of writing and sharing this to you all.

I hope you'll like it!

P.S. Whenever you'll see a bold type sentence inside the chapter, it'll be an Author's (or rather mine) note.

Prologue: The Beginning

Pacific Ocean, 'Ume-no-Kami' Ferryboat
March 30th, 2012
Evening

"I can't believe we're finally going to visit Grandpa and Grandma!" Haruka exclaimed, gripping at the side of the bulwark to lean over it and take a better look of the blue water flowing under the ferryboat "Iruka Island, here we come!"

"Stop yelling like a madwoman, or you'll wake up everyone aboard..." Hajime snapped at her, his back leaned against the bulwark, but he spoiled his scolding winking at her. To be honest, he was even happier than her to go to Iruka Island for almost a whole year, but he preferred not to show his happiness already.

Despite the many differences between them, Hajime and Haruka were twin siblings. Hajime Sasaki, the older twin, had got dark red, ear-length, straight hair, with a large wisp covering his right eye (practically the same hairstyle Minato has got in Persona 3), while the left one, the only visible, was azure, just like the sea underneath them. He was the 'responsible one', calm, cool, intelligent and respectful. In that moment, he was wearing a blue jeans jacket with a black long-sleeved t-shirt underneath, blue jeans and black and white trainers.

On the other hand, Haruka Sasaki, the younger twin, had got dark blue, backside-length, wavy hair (basically Mitsuru's hairstyle from Persona 3), with a large wisp covering her left eye, that was a bright shade of pink. She was the 'irresponsible one', cheerful, energetic, talkative and crazy. She wore a red sleeveless jacket with a white long-sleeved t-shirt underneath, a white knee-length miniskirt and a pair of white leather ankle boots.

Haruka giggled "Sorry bro, but I'm so excited about this trip!" the girl took a few steps back from the bulwark and pirouetted on her tiptoes "Can you believe this? Almost a whole year at our grandparents' place! I heard it's a quite popular inn at Iruka Island" the girl laughed, with a blissful expression plastered on her pretty face "Almost a whole year of fun: beach, swimming, sunshine, hot studs, new accomplices to gossip with..."

"Don't forget this is a school trip too. We'll have to attend High School, study with the other students, make sure to have high grades, attends club and other activities and even find a part-time job, if we can" Hajime said. Suddenly Haruka stopped, as if Hajime had turned her battery off with his words "You're the usual killjoy, bro" the blue-haired girl complained with a puppy-like face. Hajime said nothing but smiled, one of his rare bright smile, and looked up at the night sky, filled with brilliant stars. Haruka said nothing too and looked up at the sky, shifting a bit so that she could take her twin brother's hand.

In that moment, something shining crossed the sky. It could be a falling star, if only it wasn't be so near to them or blue instead of golden. It was a small, light butterfly with light-blue wings. Hajime and Haruka felt like someone was whispering something into their ears.

Time never waits.
It deliver all equally to the same end.
You, who wish to safeguard the future,
However limited it may be...
You will be given one year...
Go forth without falter,
With your heart as your guide...

"Mh...?" Hajime blinked his light-blue eyes and shook his head "Did you said something, sis?" the red-haired boy asked to his sister, who was blinking her bright pink eyes and shaking her head as well. The girl looked at him with a questioning expression "Me? I thought you were the one whispering those things in my ears! It was definitely a male voice!"

"Yeah, you're right... sorry..." the red-haired boy rubbed his eyes "Maybe we're just tired for the trip..." he hid a yawn behind his hand "After all, it's pretty late... in the evening."

Haruka yawned as well "Now that you mention it, I'm so tired..." the girl rubbed her eyes as well "I think I'll return to my cabin" the girl walked away, followed by her twin brother.

"Goodnight" Hajime wished Haruka, entering his cabin. Haruka, whose cabin was right in front of his brother's, waved him back "Goodnight" she wished him back, closing the door.

Somewhere Else
March 30th, 2012
Unknown Time

"Excellent job, Master" two persons wearing blue suits congratulated in unison with a man sitting behind a gigantic desk, wearing a butterfly-shaped mask on his face. The masked man nodded "Thanks, my dear servants" the man said, screwing his eyes behind his mask "Now that the seed has been planted, the Twin Card will be set free"

"How many time will take the Twin Card to completely wake up?" the shorter of the two dressed in blue people asked. Its voice was clear, musical and sweet, so she must be a female.

"Less than you think, Gwendolyn" the masked man answered. The taller of the dressed in blue figures took a step closer to its Master "Are you sure they are the chosen ones?" it asked. Its voice was deep, strong and slightly husky, so he was a man for sure.

The masked man nodded again "Of course I'm sure. Remember the prophecy, Nathaniel" at that point, the masked man closed his eyes and began to recite:

"They'll be Twin siblings
Yet born in different days
They'll be totally different
Yet two sides of the same medal
They'll clash with each other
Yet they'll match perfectly
The Sky Above the Earth
The Earth Below the Sky
The Angel that Sings Fiery Songs
And the Devil who Fights for Revenge
The First Sinner Man
And the First Tempting Woman"

Continue...

Ugh, I'm really a bad poetess, aren't I? Took me forever to find the appropriated words for the prophecy. About the protagonists... I had this idea short ago, while I was wondering 'What would happen if the protagonists would be two siblings instead of one only?'... So, how do you think about this? Press the Rewiev button and let me know!

Beside... Iruka Island is a place invented by me: it's an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, near Japan, where technologic and modernity are fused with nature and traditions... oh, but you'll learn more about it on later chapters.

Oh, and, from now on, every time I'll introduce a new character, I'll put a 'bio' about him, her or them at the end of my 'writer's corner' (so, the things you're reading right now) at the end of said chapter. If the character has got a Persona, but he or she didn't awaken to it yet, I won't write it, but I'll add it when it will show.

So, since today I introduced the protagonists, here's their bios.
