Summary: On the day the eighteenth star and moon align, your destiny will overtake you. Whether light or darkness triumphs is up to the power of life you have within you. And…I see blood, devastation, anger and sorrow…the destruction of equilibrium in the world… Fantasy AU, KxL, AxC, SxS.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters or concepts in this story. (Unless it's the story itself) I have taken characters from Gundam SEED and SEED Destiny, and concepts from Code Geass, Riviera the Promised Land, and Fire Emblem. (If I use any more concepts, I will tell you at the end of the chapter)
§ ─ Prologue: Legend ─ §
"Go on mommy! Tell us the rest of the story!" Seven year old Cagalli begged. "Please!" Kira had smiled at his sister's antics, but he wanted to hear the rest of the story too, so he didn't say anything.
Via Hibiki smiled at her children; all she had to do was look into their bright eyes, and her heart melted.
"All right" she said, sighing, "I'll tell you."
"In Yggdrasil, the Grim Angel tried to stop to Magus from activating the Retribution. The Magus wouldn't listen, so the Grim Angel had to fight him. And so, they fought a furious battle."
"And? Who won?" demanded Cagalli.
"The Grim Angel, after a desperate battle, emerged victorious. But it was not a joyful victory. In the battle, he lost a friend of his. After that, he vowed that his friend's death would not be wasted. So he spent the rest of his life ridding Riviera of demons. In the end, he received the god's blessing and Riviera lived in peace for the rest of eternity…"
A legend slowly lost in time…to become insignificant…a child's story. But as a millennium draws to a close, time and history is about to repeat itself… The force of destiny grows stronger…to those who wish to defy it.
As the Magi activate the Retribution again, only time will tell when the universe collapses, and all humanity is destroyed. Because they have always decided that that would be…the destiny of the universe…one day. There is nothing that can stop it…
Engraved on a stone in a distant land…
Fate…
It cannot be controlled, manipulated, or argued against…
But it can be defied…
Because there is no fate
That can control determination, courage, or compassion
Or the power of a single wish
Because for those who believe,
Fate can be changed
For those who come after me,
Who do not wish to see…
The world fall into chaos and blood.
For a legend forgotten so long ago, it takes power to believe in it. To believe that such a terrible fate can be avoided. But to believe…is to create. To create, is to make a legend become reality…
A/N: Hi. So… this is my first fan fiction and frankly, I don't know if it's good enough, because from what I've read, most people don't pick on the GSD characters using fantasy. But, I've decided to try…and yeah. I've decided to use aspects of other Anime and games, but not most of the characters. I'm also going to try not to use OC's, because I personally don't really like OC's. But apart from the GSD characters themselves, I may use characters that were part of the original game Riviera the Promised Land because they fit in with the story/legend part of it. I won't use the developed characters, like Serene or Lyuri for example. (I'll let you know) I may also import aspects from other Anime/ Games, like maybe FMA?? I dunno yet. We'll see as the story develops.
About the engraving part of the prologue: it's like that because I want to give you a "visual" of what's on the grave, kinda like what they do in some Animes. So the only important bit of it is the actual words on the stone. The importance of it will be revealed later.
So, please review. Flames are welcome, if you wish. But I want to know whether I should continue. Or not.
