The Imposter

Chapter 1

Thoughts of a crazy wanderer…

My mother died…slain by the hands of a SeeD. And here I am, walking on the empty road, with no one to guide my hand. I was born a Sorcerer, and my mother had always told me to use it for a good cause. But mother had been acting strangely a bit recently before I heard the news of her death, but still, she was mother to me, no different. I don't know what to do without her guidance. My magic, the world, my life, they all seemed so meaningless.

I had sworn to track down this SeeD, and to slay him by the bare palms of my hands. I want to take revenge for mother. What has she done wrong? I heard the SeeD himself said all grief was over and everyone cheered for him as he returned from the battlefield. But what grief? They all lied. Mother had never caused such grief. So today, I'm going to find out for myself, I'm going to confront that SeeD and to reveal his true face to the world. I can't let him live with such disgusting glory…

So today I'm coming after you…

Squ…a…ll…
