... I can't believe I finally got this up. I didn't even think that I would finish it today. Of course, the shortness of this prologue rivals the prologue of my Girls Bravo story Tamazusa... But, I'm happy with it, so I won't worry about it. It's not like every chapter is going to be this short, though there will be some that get pretty close. :P Now, I would like to reiterate that there are some serious spoilers in this story. So...

SPOILER WARNING: THERE ARE MAJOR SPOILERS IN THIS STORY! IF YOU HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE GAME, IT IS HIGHLY SUGGESTED THAT YOU DO NOT READ!

Well, now that that's been taken care of... I don't think there's too much else I need to mention. After the disclaimer, we can get on with the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Blue Dragon. This probably isn't even what happened to Zola - this is just my take on it.

"I will make you so powerful, no one will ever hurt you again." That's what he told me before he gave me the Light Sphere.

She trudged through the forest, the rain pouring down through the leaves, making the cut on her side sting.

She spoke too quietly to make out what she had said, but it was surely a name. Though her voice was weak, it still held great loathing as she murmured his name. But through the loathing, she couldn't keep out the love.

She stumbled, barely catching herself on a nearby tree. That was the sad thing about it all - even though he'd tried to kill her, she couldn't stop caring about him.

She looked up through the trees, seeing patches of cloudy sky in between the branches. Was this how she was going to die? Bleeding to death in the middle of the rain?

"Only if you choose to," a voice said. She looked forward again, absentmindedly realizing she must have spoken aloud, and saw a figure standing in the shadows.

She narrowed her eyes, partly out of suspicion, partly out of lack of visibility. "Who are you?"

Despite the fact that she couldn't see, she could tell that his mouth had stretched into a grin as he said. "The one who will give you unimaginable power..."

And after that, he said, "I will make you so powerful, no one will ever hurt you again."

Believing him was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made, in my whole life.

But, considering the outcome... I would do it again, every time. I wouldn't give up what I've earned for anything.

Where I am now, though... There were many things that happened in between, and I imagine that you're curious about what they are.

So, I'll tell you. I won't explain everything to you, but... certain questions are best left unanswered. And just because I won't answer everything, doesn't mean that I'll leave out everything.

Besides, I think that what I'm going to tell you is more than enough.

Well... There's the prologue. At first, this story had seemed a little daunting to me, since I wasn't sure if I would be able to remember all of the scenes in the game. But someone on YouTube, by the name of EdgeBC, has been kind enough to upload videos from the Blue Dragon game. So major thanks goes to EdgeBC, since I would've likely forgotten many of the beginning scenes if it wasn't for them. :) Anyway, the updating is going to be like the rest of my stories - I'll try to write the next chapter as soon as this is up, but I'll really start working on it after 10 hits. So... Please review if you can, and I'll see you soon! :D
