Me: Yes! I'm finally going to do something! I am new to and proud of it! *Slumps down* Okay, not really. I've been going to this cite for a while now but I haven't made an account or done anything 'till now.

Lloyd: What made you decide to finally do something?

Me: Well, I've been reading a bunch of Tales of Symphonia fanfics and one that really caught me was Grandkids and Tasks of the Spirit by freakyanimegal. It inspired me to write a fanfic!

Lloyd: You read too much, just like Genis.

Me: He reads to study, which I never do, while I read to keep myself from being bored.

Lloyd: You don't study?

Me: Never have and most likely never will!

Lloyd: Then how do you get straight A's?!

Me: I honestly have no idea, especially considering since I sleep in class. *ponders over it*

Lloyd: She's probably going to be thinking about that for a while -_-'

Me: I own nothing! Although I wish I did. *goes back to thinking* Wait, I do own Sarah, the OC, because she is me! ^-^

As I stepped off the bus onto the sandy ground beneath me, the bus driver, Ms. Nelson, called her good-bye to me. I waved over my shoulder and continued on walking until I got inside the gate at the front of my house. As soon as I stepped inside, I heard the bus start to leave. I once again continued on. My house is a ways from the gate which results in me having a walk of about 100 meters to get to my house. Which I don't complain about because I rather like the walk.

As I neared the tree that marked the halfway point to my house I saw my dog, Samantha aka Sammy, waiting for me. The smile that I got when stepping off the bus widened a bit at the sight of my loyal dog. I looked of to my right to see that bird again. That bird had made a nest on the ground and there were four little camouflaged eggs in the nest, which had yet to hatch. I stopped and stared at the bird, as it stared back at me.

"Geez, seriously, how long is the bird gonna be there?" I questioned, after shaking my head away from the bird. I kept seeing it everyday when I got off the bus.

I kept walking and met up with Sammy. She started jumping around, happy to see me.

"Hey Sammy, how've you been?" I asked. Okay, I admit it, I talk to my pets sometimes, but it's comforting.

Sammy continued to jump around, then she tried to playfully bite me. That's just her way of say, "Welcome back! I missed you! Will you fill my food bowl now?!"

I've had Sammy since she was a puppy. Back then she was a fat, hyperactive puppy who was always eating. That was how she obtained the nickname, Fat Dog. Although, a while after we had gotten her, I noticed how much she looked like a wolf more than a dog. Which is also how she obtained the nickname, from me, Wolf Pup. Some of the kids at school who've seen a picture of her said that she looked like a coyote. But, she's not a wolf or a coyote, she's a dog.

After getting past Sammy and entering my house, I greeted my mom and dad as usual. I then headed to my room and dropped off my bag. I turned on my TV and computer and then laid down on my bed for a few seconds. It was Wednesday and my brother hadn't come on the bus today.

"I wonder what brother is doing. Argh! He's always doing something in town and is never back until around eight! Plus he's suppose to come home on the bus on Wednesdays!" I said with a raised voice to the air while sitting up. I then just flopped back down and said, "Ah, why am I even worrying about it? It's not like he runs some organization like Cruxis. Although that would be awesome!" I then started to daydream about what it would be like if he was running an organization like Cruxis. I then came upon a realization.

"Oh my gosh," I said quickly, sitting up.

"I'd probably have to fight him if he really did run an organization like that. And by doing so, I'd get the shit beaten out of me by him. Why must I be so weak!" I said the last sentence dramatically. I then just stopped and went over to my computer to search for something to do, since I had no homework and I never studied.

Now, would probably be the opportunity to introduce myself instead of typing anymore boring stuff that you don't care about. You probably don't even care about my introduction but, whatever.

My name is Sarah, I'm 13 years old and top of my class. I have wavy brown hair which is tinted red. It goes an inch or two, maybe three, past my waist. I have brown eyes, but one of my friends say my right eye looks black sometimes. I have pale but really nice looking skin. I wear glasses which are blue and no matter what I am always wearing a necklace that my mom gave me. It's on a black cord string, and looks like an exsphere with black strips. Its gem is blue and has a silver rim around. It's rare for me to take it off. I also have a small scare on my forehead. It's just above the end of my eyebrow, the end that's inwards not outwards. It's not really noticeable. I love certain video games, anime, manga, ect. My favorites of the video games are the Tales series, especially Tales of Symphonia, both one and two. I have a very small collection of weapons, which include: Shuriken, different kinds of kunai, a pair of sai, three fans(one small, one medium, and the last one it huge, like Temari's fan from Naruto), a bo staff, a sword that looks cursed, and a wolf pocket knife. Most of these weapons I bought at Tae Kwon Do competitions, which, I may add, I got first places in. Okay, now I'm just gloating, bad Sarah! So anyways, people know not to get me mad when I have something in my hand because anything in my hand I can turn into a weapon. Even a sticky note! No seriously, I did turn a sticky note into a weapon before. My friend gave my a sticky note and I folded it to make it really pointy and then I started poking my friend with it really hard and it left a small mark. Anyways, that's all that I can really think of to tell you about me. So let's get back to my oh so exciting life!

After a while of surfing the web, I got up to get a snack, since I barely ate anything at lunch that day. While I was walking out my eye caught on to a little blue stone sitting on my nightstand that's near the door. I picked it up and started tossing it up and down in my hand while I walked. I have no idea why, I just had the impulse to take it. I use to have a bunch of those little blue stones lying around my room but they slowly disappeared. In other words, I lost them.

As I walked out and to the cabinet to get a small bad of chips I noticed that my mom and dad weren't home.

'Mom probably left to pick up brother and Dad's probably off getting the mail,' I thought, because you see, it's about a 30 minute drive to get into town and you have to drive all the way to the paved road to get the mail, because we live where it's just a dirt road. Also, the reason my dad doesn't walk is because he is 60 years old! My moms 47, 13 years apart.

So, anyways, after I grabbed a bag of chips I heard the dogs start barking. And out of curiosity I went to check what it was. I pocketed the stone and went outside through the back door. I ran to the other side of the deck and jumped down the stairs. I never really used them to go down anyways. I ran to the front of my house and saw nothing. When I saw nothing and continued to hear the dogs barking I decided to follow the barking. It was coming from the little clearing that I use to used to train when I was still in Tae Kwon Do. When I was half way there I stopped to think if I should go back and get a weapon or not. I continued on deciding not to. When I finally got to the clearing I found the dogs but nothing out of the ordinary. As soon as I walked over to them they stopped barking.

"Now what were you guys barking at?" I questioned, looking around. I kept my guard up and let my eyes sweep over the surrounding ground. The most likely reason for the dogs to bark is that there's a snake around.

"You've always wished for a life of excitement right? Well, this is just the beginning," I heard someone say. I jumped at hearing the voice and started looking around the area for it, ready to fight if I had to.

"Always one to never be trusting," the voice said again. That's when I stopped and my eyes widened.

"W-wait a minute… What the hell, that's my voice!" I shouted.

"Oh? So you've finally noticed," It replied.

"The hell?! That's it, I've finally gone insane!" I shouted and started to walk away.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You've called yourself that many times, what makes now so different?"

"Um, I'm talking to something that stole my voice and from what I can tell no body?"

"… That's a good point…"

"And now it's agreeing with me!"

"Hey, I'm trying to grant you your wish for a life of adventure," It argued.

I stopped dead in my tracks and asked, "Why would you want to grant me my wish?"

"Because I've heard your cries for something new, something that will allow you to help people."

"I do not cry, I can't even remember the last time I've cried."

"I find that as a good point, but what I was saying was just my way of putting it."

"Okay, yeah, sorry about that."

"There is no need to apologize. Anyways, I want to make a deal with you, if you agree to protect the one that will save the world so that it is insured that that outcome happens, then I will send you to another world for a life of adventure."

"But what about my life here?" I asked, getting worried about what would happen.

"Do not worry. When you return it'll be exactly how you left it. But I warn you, once you commence on the journey, you will not be able to return until it is finished."

I closed my eyes and started to think about. My eyes then snapped open at something.

"What happens if I die?" I asked quickly.

"Well, that would be the end for you, sorry."

"I see," I replied. Something was telling me to accept but then my mind was doubtful.

I had decided to say no, but impulse took me over and said, "Deal."

"Are quite sure?" It asked.

"Yeah," I replied, going along with the impulse. In situations like these, it always seems to take over. And it's always saying the opposite of what I originally decide.

Next thing I knew I blacked out.

When I finally came to, the first thing that I noticed was that my head was laying on something furry, the second, that my neck felt stiff and I felt like I had been to hell and back.

"Argh, I feel like I've been to hell and back. What the hell is going on?!" I said to the air. After saying that, the memory of making that deal with the voice came up.

"Oh yeah, I made a deal with a voice. I wonder where I am? Why'd that stupid voice have to make me feel like shit though?" I muttered. I then realized that I had just insulted my own voice and smacked myself in the forehead.

"I really have to think of what I'm saying before I say it," I reminded myself. I have told myself that many times but never remember to.

I finally sat up and looked down to see what my head was laying on. What I found was something that gave me comfort, my loyal dog, Sammy. Although she had changed, she was now huge, the size of a small horse, she also looked more like a wolf. But there was no way of mistaking the fur color at all.

When I saw that Sammy had changed, I thought that I had changed too. I looked down at myself and sure enough, I had changed. I had skin tight black pants, blue boots that went up to my knees with three buckles on each. Blue fingerless gloves that were the same length as Sheena's would be, but they looked like they were suppose to be longer because they were rolled down a bit, a blue, zipped up, vest that also looked like it was suppose to be longer and have sleeves because it was rolled up, the vest went up to the middle of my neck. I also had what was really common, belts. I had three of them, two crossed over to sort of make an x and then the other just went straight across. I unzipped my vest and saw that I was also wearing a weird shirt. The sleeves were skin tight but the rest was just normal. I then decided that it was for something underneath, and I was right, I had a chain mail vest underneath. After that I zipped up my vest and went to push my hair out of my face. When I did, I noticed that I didn't feel my glasses. They weren't there anymore, sweet! No more worrying about glasses! That's when I noticed my hair kept falling in front of my face. I decided that I'd check that over later when I had a mirror to use. By then the pain and faded away.

I stood up and looked down at myself again and noticed that I had a body that looked like Sheena's only with a smaller bust. I looked like I was 17 or something.

"They skimmed a few years off my life!" I said alarmed.

I sighed and decided to look through what I had in the pouches attached to my belt. I took off my belts and sat down next to my still sleeping dog. The first thing that I noticed was a little rod thing attached to the belt that went straight across, it looked about 9 and ¾ inches. I took it off and examined it. It had the swirly, twisty vine pattern on it. I have no idea what to call it. I noticed a little space in the middle of the rod type thing. I pulled on each end and it opened to reveal two blades. I pulled it apart and saw that each half was exactly the same as the other. The blades looked about a fourth of an inch shorter than the handles which were also sheaths. I sheathed the blades and reattached the weapons to one of my belts.

"Okay, that is an awesome weapon. But I still can't forgive them for skimming a few years off my life," I said and went through the rest of my stuff.

After looking through all of it I had found some shuriken, each having a different amount of points, some red and orange gel things, which I had presumed were apple and orange gels because of my favorite video games, some other potion things, and one of the pouches was full of coins, which I assumed to be the money here.

After looking through it all, I reattached everything and put my belts back on. I looked around at my surrounding and saw that I was in a forest. That's when Sammy finally decided to wake up. I smiled down at her as she got up. When she did I noticed something behind her. I picked it up and unraveled the cloth to find out that the cloth was a brown leather cape and the thing that was wrapped up was my sword that looked curse. The reason I say that is because of the symbol that is on it in six different places. I smiled at it and fastened it to my belt. I then put the cape on, which stopped at mid-thigh. Now that I had everything checked over I looked over at Sammy with a smile. Like I said, she was the size of a small horse.

"Come on, let's go see where we are," I said. I started walking but stopped. My hand immediately flew up to my neck. When my fingers touched what I was looking for, I sighed in relief. My necklace was still there. That's when I remember about the stone.

"I wonder what happened to it," I questioned the air. I turned around and looked down at the ground for it. It was actually still with me. I bent down and picked it up. There was a gold rim around it that spread out slightly into the vine pattern that was on my weapons. It reminded me of an exsphere and key crest. Which gave my the impulse to see if it would attach itself to me. I slightly unzipped my vest and put it just below my collarbone. Much to my surprise, it actually stayed.

"Okay, this just keeps getting cooler," I said. I zipped my vest back up and started walking in the direction I was before. Soon enough, I reached a village. The people standing guard turned their attention to me as I came into view.

"Halt!" shouted one of them, "What is your business here!"

That's when I got a nervous/embarrassed smile on my face. I rubbed the back of my head and replied with a nervous laugh, "I'm kinda lost, what village is this?"

"Iselia," The other guard answered.

"Oh, thanks," I said and dropped my hand. "I'd like to go into the village to restock on items. I'm on journey to see different lands in Sylverant," I explained.

'Oh my gosh, I can't believe I was able to come up with that on the spot,' I thought. I had always been good at coming up with believable lies but never that good.

"Alright then, but your, er, wolf, will have to stay out of the village," The guard replied.

"Sammy's not a wolf, she's a dog," I corrected.

"Right."

I turned towards Sammy and said, "Stay here, I'm gonna go into Iselia to restock, okay?" After saying that Sammy walked over to the fence and laid down against it to go to sleep. "That works," I muttered under my breath. I walked over to head into the village. As I walked past the guards and said, "Thank you."

When I was inside the gates I heard the guards say, "That dog is almost as weird as Lloyd's."

"Yeah."

I chuckled at hearing this and continued onwards.

Me: First chapter up! Sweet!

Lloyd: It's only the first chapter, there's still a lot to go.

Me: Yeah I know, but what's the point in not celebrating an accomplishment?

Lloyd: It's not really an accomplishment.

Me: You're being mean!

Lloyd: You're the one writing this!

Me: Good point!

Lloyd: Have you had sugar of something?

Me: Maaaybe! *Shifty eyes* It'd be nice if you reviewed! But you don't have to if you don't want to. *waves goodbye*
