Prologue

The air was stagnating with voices that seemed to mirror the crashing waves; the rock faces seemed to glow with the faint spark of electricity. The people set up around the shore were dressed head to toe in various armor most carrying large swords while others carried large canons. The sun shined casting the shadows of deferent rock formations casting the shadow figures across the sand as a small man garbed in white robes with many adornments draped across his neck approached a large wooden platform "today my friends we mark the ending for Sin" as he spoke the crowds turned cheering as he continued "this battle shall be won, and known all across spira as the fall of Sin" his rant continued as the people gathered watching and reviling in the hope he gave them all but a small group who sat against the opposite wall.

"That's exactly the same speech he gave last time" the man answered his eyebrow raised in suspicion the man stood six feet and decorated in cracked armor that glowed orange. His scars seemed to cover nearly half his head next to him sat three others the shortest wore a grey tunic that was tucked in to long gray pants his blonde hair an offset to what he wore. The one who sat next to him was a woman about five feet she wore a light coat over small shirt that came down to her stomach with a skirt that was a blaze with many colors. The other was a man that stood five feet with bright orange hair his uniform consisting of overalls with one strap holding them.

"No, no see the last speech didn't have that line' the two went back and forth before a man dressed in a red turtleneck that draped above his red pants.

"That's enough, Zeke, Alexander" the man shouted standing in front of them.

"He started it" Zeke shouted poking the larger man's head.

"It doesn't matter" the woman shouted standing from her spot on the ground "you are both idiots" she finished patting the sand from her skirt. "Fine" Alexander shouted as the others walked toward the water.

"This is just another fight against sin, ya" the tall man answered holding the weapon tight in his right hand "ya know my brother gave me this great sword" he spoke drawing the attention of the man dressed in red "but I couldn't use it".

"Sin, is a monster that destroys towns and people's lives" the man answered dipping his hand into the green water "we are crusaders for a reason, to protect people, or to avenge" his hand slowly reached the sand grasping as much as he could before pulling his hand out "fighting and dying are both two heads of the same coin Chappu" the man spoke in a low tone holding his hand as the sand trickled down floating out on the current "however, Fighting and dying means taking the opponent with you, not watching others die"

"That's just sugarcoating it" Zeke shouted holding a small dagger out in front of him "It's not war, it's not even a fair fight" the small boy cried his tears dripping into the sea

"The warrior monks know this, yet the keep commanding us to fight the summoners' battle" The woman replied throwing a small rock that skipped across the water before plummeting down into the black depth. "Tomah, are you going to die this time" she asked placing her hands underneath his to catch the sand

"No" he answered taking Chappu's hand with a few trickles the sand was gone "I can't say much of anything" the group stood with bated breath as the sirens ringed through the cape the large creature toward over them. As the monster continued destroying what was left of the soldiers on the cliffs dropped its body with a massive force as water engulfed the beach with people either crushed or dragged out to sea.

"Get out of the water" Alexander shouted clutching the sides of the cape with one hand and with the other he held Zeke's leg.
