Author's Pre-Story Notes:
Greetings, fellow travelers on the Long and Winding Road!
The following story is a Final Fantasy IX self-insert, starring yours truly. Watch as the Wayward Warrior makes his way through the world of Gaia as I travel alongside Zidane, Dagger, Vivi, and the rest of the gang on our quest to save the world!
Here's hoping I don't screw it up.
Several things I need to clear up before I jump into the story:
First, if you're reading the story and are a bit confused about the character "Cyrus Truth," you may want to read some of my other works or visit my profile to get a better idea of who he is…or is it I am? Great, now I'm schizophrenic.
Second, the only way I will know if this project is a success or a failure is if you wonderful readers leave me a review letting me know if you loved or hated the story. Unless you review, I can't gauge whether I'm bringing the awesome or simply shoveling the crap. So, I appreciate any and all feedback.
Third, I don't own Final Fantasy IX or any of the characters portrayed in the game. I only own myself, some plot changes to account for my presence in the game, and any original characters I come up with. So Square Enix, you officially have no reason to sue me!
With that, I invite you to sit back, relax, and enjoy "Truth's Journey: Final Fantasy IX."
Thank you again for reading, and here's to an epic, funny, and all-around awesome project!
Unless the story totally sucks. In which case, I apologize in advance.
See you on the Long and Winding Road,
"The Exile" Cyrus Truth
