Prologue~
Seek the water of life.
Long ago, miasma swallowed the world. Its very touch was fatal, and it claimed many lives. But we have since discovered a way to hold it at bay.
Crystals protect us from miasma. Smaller crystals now guard the villages of the world, while greater ones guard the cities. We all live our lives within the embrace of the crystals' blessing.
The power of the crystals is not limitless, however; it gradually diminishes over time. We must rekindle the crystals' radiance each year by purifying them with myrrh. In turn, they protect us from the miasma for another year.
But myrrh cannot be found just anywhere. We must seek it in the dank depths of dungeons, across forbidding mountains, even beyond the sea.
This task falls to groups of young men and women sent off each year by every town the world over. It is their duty to collect myrrh and bring it home. They are known as the crystal caravans.
This is the tale of one such caravan and its adventures.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own the material from Crystal Chronicles, no matter how cool that would be. So don't think about suing me, because I wouldn't be able to give you any money anyway. Sorry. The only things that I'll be using in this novel will be the places, tribes, and items like weapons and food and stuff. I might add in other elements of the game as I go along, such as certain scenes and such, but they will ALWAYS be properly mentioned and I will give credit to the owners.

Diary of the Elders; 200 years after the Collision:
It is a time of great unrest, here, on this earthly plane. The Great Kingdom of the Lilties has envaded most of the world. Their undying force and will to conquer has begun to worry the Kingdom of the Clavats, who are the only ones left that have not been attacked or threatened because of their special miasma barrier. I am afraid, however, that even the power of light cannot save them from the inevitable attack of this fierce, destructive army. I can only pray for the safety of their kingdom.

**Author Notes** Ouf, okay then. Now that that is out of the way, here's the lowdown:
I AM THE FIRST ONE TO POST A FIC ABOUT FF:CC!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Don't worry, this one'll be good; trust me. I can't measure up to the length of chapters that TK Takaishi wrote, but although they might be small, they'll be good.
