Prologue
"Hey, you're Vaan, right?" a young girl's voice asks from beside the desert thief.
Vaan looks down to see a pretty blonde girl of about ten with bright green eyes. "Yeah, what's up?" he asks.
"Um, I was told that you might be willing to help me practice this new spell I just learned," the girl replies. "My name is Affi."
"What sort of magic?" Vaan asks, curious.
"Red magic," Affi replies. "The spell is called Amor Vincit Omnia."
"Never heard of it. Will it hurt?"
"No, it shouldn't. But the book I found it in says that it will take effect when the person it's cast on hears their name called the three times by one person after it's cast and it will effect the person who calls to them. The book says the effects will be slow at first but will steadily grow stronger."
Vaan is very curious about this. "Let's try it, Affi," he says, despite a strong feeling that the girl is leaving something major out.
After the girl casts the spell, she giggles. "Well, thanks for letting me practice my magic," she says.
"By the way, Affi, what sort of magic is red magic?" Vaan asks as she walks away.
The girl turns back towards him with a grin. "Love magic," she laughs, running off before her words can sink in.
"Oh gods, no," Vaan gasps when he realizes what he had just signed up for.
"Vaan?" he hears a familiar masculine voice call.
'No, not him!' Vaan thinks in horror as Balthier turns the corner to see him standing there.
"Vaan, what's the matter? You look a little pale," Balthier notes.
"It's nothing, I'm fine," Vaan says quickly. "What was it you wanted, Balthier?"
"I've been searching all over for you. The Strahl is repaired and we're ready to leave," Balthier replies. "Are you sure you're alright, Vaan?" he asks, not realizing that he caused a love spell to fall upon him with the sentence.
Vaan nods, resigning to figuring out how to explain this mess to Balthier before things get too out of control.
Sarah: I know, short prologue. But it was funny. I can't wait to see how this turns out.
