Chapter 1: Another Tale Begins

Description: A group of young rookie adventurer's who have stayed in Windurst for most of their life finally decide to leave Windurst explore Vana'Diel.

Author's Notes: This is my first fan fic so don't be so harsh when reviewing if its crappy

Disclaimer: I do not own FFXI, I own the game but not the company that made it, so in other words I didn't make FFXI and I don't own PlayOnline, Square Enix owns POL and made FFXI. But I own the characters in this story, so don't think about copying them!

Rai stood infront of the fountain in Windurst Woods, his Sapara shining brightly. In front of him was hundreds of Windurstians chanting his name, the men praising him, the women swooning for him. This was Rai's moment of glory, something he had wanted since he was a child.

Suddenly Rai was rudely awakened from his dream, he was sleeping in his bed. A Mithra stood atop him with an angry look on her face

"Rrrrrai! you overslept! we werrrre supposed to meet the others at the gate an hour ago!"

Rai plucked some wax from his ears, "And good morning to you too Rabah."

"Come on get your armor on and lets go, I already packed your things." She threw Rai's leather vest at him, still looking very pissed off.

The young warrior scratched his head and got dressed in his gear. Rai put on his bandana and walked out his front door, Rabah already waiting outside with both of their bags.

"Finally", Rabah said angerly.

"Where were we supposed to meet them again?"

"You goblin for brains! we werrrre supposed to meet them at Levianthan Gate." The pissed off Red Mage look as though she was going to cast Firaga on Rai.

"Jeez calm down I'm only a Hume"

"A dumb Hume no doubt about it"

After a few minutes of bickering, they decided to go to the gate and meet with the other Adventurer's

There were four Adventurer's waiting impatiently at Levianthan Gate, when Rai and Rabah arrived they surrounded them like Hare's to a Beast Master.

"Rabah!" A buff looking Tarutaru wearing no shirt or shoes shouted, "What tooky-wooky you guys so long!"

"Well someone overrrrslept Tai-puru" Rai light punched Rabah's shoulder, "Hey shut up about that already"

"God you two bicker like an old married couple." A scrawny Elvaan wearing a very expensive vest grabbed both of them by the neck "Yeah like me and Rai would ever get marrrrrried Kyth."

"But Rrrrrrabah you and Rai make the perrrrrrfect couple!" another Mithra jumped in the coversation, she was wearing a white cloak. "Yeah Rabah" the cocky Rai said "Panaa is right, lets go behind the bushes for a while and we can..." Rabah broke free off Kyth's grasp on her neck and knocked down Rai with the hilt of her sword ,"And stay down you big perrrrrrvert!"

Another Mithra in a Power Gi walked next to Panaa "They fighting again?" Tai-puru eagerly answered ,"Yuppy-wuppy Luki."

Panaa turned to Luki and kissed him ,"Hey there darrrrrling." The Mithran Samurai licked the side of her cheek "Ready for our jourrrrney my love?" The White Mage smiled "You bet"

Meanwhile Rabah was stomping on Rai's body, calling him a perverted no good goblin and that he is a disgrace to the Hume race, Kyth franticly trying to calm her down. After delivering his "I Love You's" to his lover, Luki interveined the squabbling ,"Come on stop this childish bickering and lets begin our jourrrrney, we've wasted enough time already"

"Yeah Luki is right, lets go alrrrrrrready, but that still doesn't change the fact that your a big perrrrrrvert Rai!" Rabah stopped her rampage and helped Rai get on his feet. Rai thought to himself, "Now its time to make something of myself, let everyone in Vana'diel know the name of the Adventurer Rai Kusanagi!"

Well thats the first Chapter of my first fan fic done, hope you guys liked it. Let me get a few things down first, Rai is a Hume M WAR, Rabah is a Mithra F RDM, Kyth is a Elvaan M THF, Tai-Puru is a Tarutaru M MNK, Panaa is a Mithra F WHM, and Luki is a Mithra M SAM. Yes there are Male Mithra's, you just can't play as them, so I thought I should put a Male Mithra in this fan fic, something I'm pretty sure no one has thought of
