Just letting a little of information be known. This is going to be a major cross over fic. Spanning five different Final Fantasy games. I'm trying to use each games story in the most up to date timeline of that story. This is my first fan fic on here. Here's the real beotch of this. I thought up the idea for this story about 2 days ago. What I originally thought about doing as the villain I have already changed. So I don't know exactly where I'm going with this. I do have a general idea. If you happen to read this thank you, also if you have any ideas about where you think this should go, please feel free to write it down on my reviews and I'll let you know what I think of it. More than likely I won't have the same view point but if I like it I'll run with it. Disclaimer: I don't own anything at all that has to do with Final Fantasy. At all. I might add characters later but I doubt it.

Prologue

"I am old……….far older than one should be allowed to live.

I've fought in countless battles, in thousands of wars to "save the planet".

In many, my side has won…….. In few, I have watched existence fade away. I have encumbered many injuries, died numerous times, and struck down innumerable foes. I have seen heroes rise to take stands against tyranny, some greater than others. And I have seen evil that makes the darkness in the pits of many a hell seem as bright as a supernova. However, none of the darkness that this universe has seen shall equal that of what is to come….

.soon, ever so soon....

Ixion, Quetzalcoatl, Tlaloc……I have had many a name and form. The one I am most fond of and have had the longest is that of Ramuh, guardian of lightning and keeper of knowledge.

Keeper of knowledge…..…a dubious title indeed. It is why I, more than most, know of the coming darkness. No longer shall the war be fought for the planet, but for that of all existence. For it is my responsibility to see and know the sign, to interpret the prophecies. I know what is to come.

And for the first time........, I am frightened.

However, there is yet hope. For all the power darkness holds, it has yet to grasp that which it has no understanding of. And in that understanding lies salvation for existence.

The time is now….the heroes of yore shall be tapped……….. My brothers and sisters shall meet at 'the beginning' to make plans.

'Bellum de resurrectio de crystallus' ……….May we succeed…… or all else is naught
