A Curse of Life and Love
I do not own Suikoden in any way, shape or form. Except the American editions of Suik 1, 2, and 3. This just popped into my head one day. Original character alert! Straight pairings too!
Prologue: A Rune Not Found
"Welcome home Bishop Sasarai!" Dios said bowing as his superior entered the Crystal Palace. "Did you have a pleasant journey?"
"No, Dios," the bishop almost snapped. "I did not have a pleasant journey."
"Still no trace of it, huh?" Dios inquired.
"I don't understand it," Sasarai sighed. "It's like it doesn't want to be found."
1"Maybe somebody already bears it again," Dios suggested.
"That's preposterous," Sasarai said, turning to look at him. "It's just inconceivable."
"Why?" Dios asked, rather disrespectfully. Sasarai answered him nonetheless.
"I'm not exactly sure," he said, rubbing his temples. "Maybe it is because he bore it so long in his body that I believe it doesn't believe that he is truly gone, or that it hasn't found a new host yet. Either way, I don't think it has found a new host yet."
"Do you think it would be fitting to wait another year for it, sir?" Dios asked, changing the subject.
"No, I do not," Sasarai replied. "I do not want to wait too long, it may find a new host by then."
"Won't it be easier to track down if it does?" Dios wondered.
"No," Sasarai replied. "It is easier to find a true rune out in the open then on a bearer."
"Well, maybe you should send out a search party for it," Dios suggested. "I still do not understand why you insist on looking for it yourself."
"There are things people do that may be unfathomable to anyone else, Dios," the bishop reminded him. "Still, I would feel much better to be off my feet for once."
"I'll go organize a party at once, sir," Dios said eagerly. Since Sasarai had been going on his endless search for the True Wind Rune Dios had nothing to do but sit on his haunches all day. "I can accompany them if you wish it, sir and—"
"No need, Dios," Sasarai waved a hand. "I'm only sending one person."
"Oh," was the rather disappointed reply. "Shall I go fetch Latkje for you?"
"See that you do," Sasarai instructed. "It will be much easier for him to travel around the Grasslands undetected."
"Yes," Dios agreed. "He seems to know the Grasslands rather well anyway. Though, it might not be in the Grasslands."
"True," Sasarai agreed. "However, that is the best place to start seeing as he attempted the ceremony in the Grasslands."
"Ah, yes, that's right," Dios said. "I shall go fetch him now."
"Thank you Dios," Sasarai said. Dios left the room and the bishop sat down, massaging his head. 'Why couldn't he find it? It can't possibly have a new bearer already, could it?' He pondered these questions over and over again. However, no answer he could fathom could be as bizarre as the turn of events that was about to take place.
END
There's my prologue. I come up with the most random things. I hope you liked it. New chapters out soon.
