Prologue
On the surface everything seemed to be perfect, like a story tale romance straight out of Lord Bryon's plays. The thief Zidane kidnaps a princess, saves her from monsters, her evil mother and guides her through the destruction of her kingdom. Princess Garnet fell in love with him and for a moment it seems that this story will end like it does in fairytales.
But as we all know what lies between the surface is not what it seems, the thief has his own secret love. One which would quite possibly destroy him and all he knows if it came to be known, for you see Zidane had fallen in love with another man, his enemy, his brother.
It wears upon the young man like a banner and all who are close to him can see his affection for the one he is supposed to hate, all but the Princess herself. And to make matters worse for the young man he has another suitor, his childhood friend and fellow thief, Blank.
Our story begins with the rescue of the Lady Hilde and the recovery of the four mirrors. Tensions strain as our heroes search for another world, Zidane feels guilty and the princess discovers that maybe she doesn't love her hero as much as she thought.
