I am who I am because I chose to be myself.

Once upon a time, there existed a giant tree that was the source of mana. A war, however, caused this tree to wither away, and a hero's life was sacrificed in order to take its place. Grieving over the loss, the goddess disappeared unto the heavens. The goddess left the angels with this edict: "You must wake me, for if I should sleep, the world shall be destroyed." The angels bore the Chosen One, who headed towards the tower that reached up unto the heavens. And that marked the beginning of the regeneration of the world.

My name is Colette and I won't do like everyone tells me. I didn't choose to be a chosen. I want to live like a normal teenage girl.

"Colette"

Lloyd. He is my life. When I'm around him, all my worries vanish. If only I could tell him what I think!

"Colette, do you want to go to the beach?

-Lloyd, she can't, says Genis. She must go to the church for teachings. She doesn't have time to play around like you, right Colette?"

Now it's time for my first step against the Cruxis.

"I'll come. I don't want to go to the church."

Lloyd is so happy. These are my best friends. I am happy with the two of them. Genis looks at me with big eyes. He didn't expect me to answer this. Lloyd, him, smiles with all his teeth. Now, we can go to the beach. I managed to get in my room without my father knowing. Lucky!

At the beach, which is almost empty, like always, the waves are great. From now on, I will live my life with freedom. I like the idea.

Day of the Prophecy

In school, everybody is talking about my birthday. I'm not even sure if it's the right date. Maybe I was born on another day. Who knows? Sensei Raine enters the room. The class starts like everyday. Suddenly, a flash light up the classroom. The oracle. It is time. I need to accept the trial to save our world. I want to save it for Lloyd but then again, I want to choose my life. I don't to accept it in those conditions.

"Everybody stay here.

- Sensei, I'll go with you.

- No Colette. If it is the oracle, the priests will come here for you. Wait here with everyone else.

Sensei is gone. What have I done? Didn't I choose to not live the life they chose for me. I won't go there. Lloyd comes to me.
