FINAL FANTASY CHRONICLES:

THE LIGHT WARRIORS

By: kiyoshi

Introduction

            In a vast land filled with fantastic creatures and majestic waters, a bloody battle raged across the sodden plains, and through the endless skies.  An evil empire arose to challenge the might and the heart of all that was good.  Hundreds of people, young and old, died as a malicious plague spread across the planet, from the little town of Agart, to the bustling kingdom of Fabul—nothing was left unmolested. 

Yet from the ashes, one man soared to take his place as the leader of a group of rebels.  Together, they freed every town, discovered new societies, and destroyed a hideous, other-wordly creature known as Zeromus--a foul beast who thrived on fears and evil ambitions, who wanted the world as his own.

            That historical battle is over, and a new one is about to begin.  Seventeen years later, after the world has lived with peace and prosperity, a new threat arises with but one goal--to bring an old threat back from the dead.  And once more Cecil Harvey, the courageous man from the Kingdom of Baron, the one to strike the black heart of Zeromus, must hold the mantle of leadership once more, and call upon those who had helped him before. 

With his wife Rosa alongside of him, Cecil will attempt to free his world from chaos and tyranny; to free this land of beauty and wonder, of metal and magic, from those who would desecrate it's fair meadows.

            This is where heroes are born, where adventures are made, and where historians take their quills to add new chapters to the Final Fantasy Chronicles.


Awakening

Several years, in past regards,

a mighty creature sought

to end a peace and harmony

within our kindly hearts.

But there was one who fought the day

and triumphed over all.

With his band, upon this land,

he killed the creature's call.

Now tranquility has laid its hand,

and time has slipped away.

Never did the hero know

he'd fight another day.

Another evil raises hard the

battle gauntlet high,

to break the white of lofty clouds

that float within the sky.

Chaos it shall rain on all,

and imps will surly dance,

for this time, it would seem that good

stands little of a chance.

This poem is an excerpt taken from a book called, "The Second Generation" which is authored by select members of the Holy Council of Mysidia.  Written a few days after the conclusion of the second great war of their generation, it has become the best selling book ever (over 500 copies), and is now used in all schools, libraries, and universities around the world as a historical reference.
