Chapter 1 up.
Well, this is my first Rune Factory fanfiction. I remember when I first played this game. It was just awesome to me. So far I've played Rune Factory 1,2,3 Frontier, and Tides of Destiny.
Also, to understand some parts of the intro, you have to have played Rune Factory 3 and Tides of destiny. You can skip it if you want. Oh, and Sechs and Zzyzx are the same place, but spelled differently.
Disclaimer:I don't own Rune Factory.
(Intro)
This world, is unlike any other. Along with the Humans, other races exist, such as the Elves, the agile and peaceful race, set on unity between the races. Dwarves, the gruff race proficient in blacksmith. Mermaids, the race of half human and half fish. Univir, the horned race with a grudge against humans. Monsters, who live peacefully in the Forest of Beginnings. Vampires, the race of the night that are considered to be extinct. There have also been cases of hybrids, which are the combination of two races, and Dark Elves, the Elves' sister race. Despite this separation, all the races believe in the existence of the 4 Dragon Gods Who control over the elements. They are Terrable(Earth), Fiersome(Fire), Aquaticus(Water), and Ventuswill(Wind). People believe that this world was created when these Gods did battle with a being called the Legendary Golem. This battle was called the Battle of Creation, ending with the sealing of the Golem. There has been peace ever since...until now.
(Storyline, Kingdom of Norad)
"Brother Ivan!" a young man called, running to another figure. The two were very similar in looks with deep blue eyes, and brown hair, with the older of the two having hair to his shoulders. Both were dressed in royal clothing, symbolizing their status as part of the royal family. They also had swords hanging from their sides. The older of the two, named Ivan, turned around to see his little brother running up to him.
"What is it, ******?" He asked. He slowed down, letting the younger catch up with him. He could see panic in his eyes. "Is something wrong?" Ivan's little brother tried to catch his breath.
"The...the Sechs(or Zzyzx)! They've infiltrated the castle!" Ivan's eyes widened.
"What? how could they have infiltrated the castle?" The two ran towards the battle.
"I only saw a little bit, but they had a large machine with them. And it was summoning monsters!" Ivan gritted teeth.
"I've heard rumors of such a machine. But I didn't think it was possible. We have to send the Monsters back to the Forest of beginnings." They soon reached the battle, and found several of their soldiers either wounded or dead. Monsters like Orcs and Minotaurs were rampaging. "Damn, there's not enough time for the soldiers to arrive. We'll have to fight these monsters off, and destroy the machine. Ready, ******?" Ivan's brother nodded, and the two split up. Ivan jumped in the air, and gathered Rune into his hand. "Shake the world with your strength, Earthquake!" Slamming his hands on the ground, Ivan created a shock wave in the ground that defeated a group of Woolies. He flipped to his feet, and drew his sword. A Sechs soldier swung his sword down, and met Ivan's sword. The brown haired man raised his foot, and kicked the man down. He gathered Rune in his sword, and fired a crescent of energy towards several Minotaurs. The attack sent the Monsters back to the Forest of Beginnings. He soon found himself back to back with his brother. The two looked at each other, and nodded. They closed their eyes. "Almighty winds, cast them away, Tornado!" They extended their hands to the sky, summoning a large whirlwind. The wind defeated the monsters, and knocked back the soldiers. "Quick! To the machine!" Ivan and ****** rushed through the crowd of enemies, defeating enemies on the way. Ivan grabbed ******'s hand, and swung him to create momentum. "GO!" Releasing his brother, Ivan launched his brother towards the silver machine. He drew his blade, and raised it over his head. With a flip, ****** used his sword filled with Rune Energy to slice the machine in two.
"Damn!" a Sechs soldier growled. "They've broken the Shift!" Ivan and ****** watched as the soldiers began to retreat.
"We held them back," ****** said in relief. "What were they trying to do? Brother Ivan?" Ivan sheathed his sword, and faced his brother.
"I don't know," he replied. "We should warn fath- ******! Look out!." Before Ivan could do anything, something hit him on the back of his head. The man fell, to the sight of his brother being restrained.
(Sechs Empire)
In a dark room, ****** was blindfolded, and strapped to a chair. He was beginning to wake up. "Ugh...Huh? Where am I? Brother Ivan?" He tried to move, but found himself unable to move his arms or legs. "Let me go!" He heard footsteps enter the room, and his body tensed.
"Is this the man?" A gruff voice asked. ****** could feel the authoritativeness in his voice. "The so called 'Earthmate?'" ******'s eyes widened at the word. "Well, Commander Lynette?"
"Yes," a female voice replied. "I'm positive that this is the one, Lord Ethelberd."
"...I see. Then go forth with the plan. Erase his memories. And disguise him so no one recognizes him." ****** tensed even more.
"What? What are you people trying to do? Let me go." The male voice left the room with an evil laugh."
"Knock him out," the female voice ordered. That was the last thing ****** heard, before he lost consciousness. He felt a stream of Rune entering his head.
(Kingdom of Norad)
A man walked across the place where the battle took place. He began to dispose of the bodies, to get rid of any evidence. "All this death..." the man mumbled softly. "It's such a horrible thing." He moved to Ivan's body, and saw that he was still breathing. "It's...the elder prince." He moved his hands to Ivan's forehead, and sent Rune towards his brain. "That should take care of his memories of the battle." He began to shake the man. "Wake up." Ivan jolted up.
"Where am I?" He yelled. Ivan saw the man looking at him. One look of his uniform, made him jump back. "A Sechs soldier! What are you doing here?" He reached for his sword, but was stopped by the man.
"No need, prince. I am no longer of the Sechs empire. I have deserted." Ivan cautiously lowered his hand. "I need to tell you that your brother was taken." Ivan's eyes widened.
"******?" The man nodded.
"I cannot tell you who, but I can tell you that your brother is being used for something important. I advise you to look for him, elder prince. From what I've heard, he'll be taken to a village. There are of course, many villages across the land. I also suggest, that you go alone, lest there be a huge panic everywhere." Ivan eyed the man with suspicion. Under the moon, he could see that he had long dark hair, and blue eyes.
"Who are you?" The man looked down.
"You can call me...Kross." That was all he said, before jumping at heights higher than a normal human.
(3 years later Kingdom of Norad, Far East Region. Outside of the town of Kardia. Spring 1 [Holiday] Early Morning)
A young man was walking down a dirt trail, looking ready to pass out. He was breathing heavily, as if he had not stopped walking for a long time. He managed to walk in front of a house, before completely losing his footing. The man hit the ground with a loud thud.
Inside the house, was a young woman. She was spending a relaxing day in her house, when she was startled by a loud sound outside. Grabbing the nearest thing, a long staff, she went to the door, and opened. With a yell, she swung blindly, only to find that no one was there. "Huh..." she mused. "I could've sworn that someone was here." That was when she notice the figure on the floor. "Ah!" The girl jumped back, and began to poke the man's head with her staff. "Hey, are you alright? You're not dead, are you?" The man on the ground groaned, and weakly stood up. He took a moment to catch his breath.
"Huh?" the man said weakly. He slowly stood up. "Well...I've been walking...for days...with no food...no water..." The girl gasped.
"What? That's not healthy! Just wait here." The boy watched as the girl walked inside the house, only to come back with what looked like an old hoe. He raised his eyebrows, as she handed it to him. "Here, take this." The man looked at the tool for a while, before taking it. He tested it out by tilling the soil in front of him.
"This...wasn't really what I had in...mind. I was hoping for some water..." The girl slammed the bottom of her fist on her open hand.
"Oh, right. Water! Alright then. Please wait another moment." She walked back in, leaving the man with the hoe. The girl soon came back, this time with a watering can. "How about this?" He began to question if the girl was okay. Taking the watering can, he watered the place he tilled. She saw the man's look. "Is there something else?"
"Well...The hoe and watering can...are nice...but I meant some drinking water." He ended with an awkward laugh. A lightbulb seemed to light on top of the girl.
"Oh, duh!" she exclaimed. "Sorry, It's just that how you looked, I thought a hoe and watering can would suit you."
"..." The girl walked into her house one more time, and brought out, to the boy's relief, some bread and a glass of water. She gladly handed out the items to the man, who gladly took it. He wasted no time, in devouring the bread, and gulping down the water. With a satisfied sigh, the man stood up straight, and stretched. The girl took this time to closely look at the person in front of her. The, boy had unruly brown hair that sort of spiked at the bottom, and ocean blue eyes. He was dressed in a tight shirt that was blue at the sleeves and color, and brown around the torso. The shirt to his mid-thighs. He also wore blue pants, gray boots and gloves, and a utility belt that held down a long piece of red and grey cloth that was open down the front. "Thank you very much," he said, bowing a little "You really saved my life." From what he saw, the girl had platinum blonde of silver hair, with blue eyes just like himself. Her hair was portioned so that her hair went to her shoulders, while the second part was separated by a red bow, going down to her upper back. She wore a blue and white sleeveless dress, going down to her knees. On her arms were matching arm warmers, and on her feet were a cross between boots and sandals.
"Oh, it's nothing!" she replied happily. "Say, you're not from around here, are you? Are you on a trip?" The man mad a thinking face.
"Well, to be honest, I don't really know myself." She tilted her head in confusion.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Th boy scratched his head.
"Well, to be honest, I don't remember where I was before coming here. I don't even know who I am."
"You mean you have...amnesia?" She saw the boy shrug. "Do you at least remember your name?" The boy shook his head. "Well, everyone needs a name, why don't you pick one now?"
"Alright then, how about...Raguna?" The girl rested her chin on her hand.
"Raguna...I like it!"
"Really? Well thank you. What's your name though?"
"Me? Well, my name is Mist. Say, Raguna. Do you have any plans on what to do for now?" The newly named Raguna looked up to the sky.
"Well, I'm trying to find an inhabitant town. Though I haven't thought passed that part yet." Mist thought for a while, before coming up with a plan.
"Well in that case, I have an empty house and field that you can use."
"I don't know what to say...But no, I possibly couldn't." Mist giggled softly.
"Don't be silly. I'm not using them, anyways. Besides, I meant what I said before, you look like a farmer."
"Do you really think I can become a farmer?" Raguna asked.
"Well, um...I think you have talent, so I guess you'll be alright."
"Okay, I guess." Mist clasped her hands in front of her, and smiled happily.
"Oh, this is going to be so much fun! Come on, the house and field are to the north." Mist closed the door to her house, and signaled Raguna to follow her. Somehow, Raguna knew he would regret something.
