I may have FINALLY finished my Dragon Quest story but Saffron's adventure is far from over. I had trouble making the sequel for a long time until I suddenly thought "why not make a Bravely Default as the sequel?" After playing it out, I was thinking…

…this is the best idea I had in weeks!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own the plot of Bravely Default or it's characters. I also do not own anyone from DQ9, I just own Saffron.

Enjoy!

Prologue

Saffron walked up the familiar blue steps that lead her to the temple that the Goddess Celestria resides. The sky was as yellow as the dawn and the breeze was as gentle as a feather, just like it has always been. Being a godly place, Saffron never expected it to change in the past three years unlike the Protectorate where many things happened.

After defeating Corvus and eating the Fygg three years ago, Saffron, Renia, Sulina and Miu went their separate ways. Renia became the personal guard of Queen Voluptua of Gleeba. She was reluctant about it at first (since she was still sceptical about her first meeting the queen) but then agreed to teach the female guards to fight when Voluptua threatened to make Ryan her king. The warrior and martial artist was officially dating and being the possessive one, Renia hates it when Ryan is flirted by another woman.

Miu became a full-time History teacher in Swinedimples Academy, a job recommended by her boyfriend, Seth. No one knows why she took the job but Saffron had a sneaky suspicion it had something to do bossing Fred around and exploiting his secrets whenever he disobeys. She also serves as a counsellor where she listens to troubled students of the academy as well as Renia's whining.

Sulina returned to her kingdom with Kevin and just as she wished on the Fygg, the engagement has been terminated and with her parent's stepping down from their throne, Sulina became queen while Kevin became her king. As much as she misses her friends, Sulina couldn't the leave her castle or her watchful mentor, Madam Gloria. So, on the behalf the Loveheart sisters, Saffron visits Sulina whenever she can no matter what the nobles say.

As for Saffron herself, her only drastic change was her appearance. Her eyes were permanently slanted as her vampiric genes had taken over and her wavy hair grew just to her thighs and it became unruly due of her carelessness towards it. The Celestrian's routine was mostly working the night shift as a bartender in Quester's Rest (Erinn's inn) and is sometimes summoned by Goddess Celestria herself of take care of any monsters that are lurking beneath the earth. There was also one more thing…

"Saffron!"

Hearing a man's calling her name made her sigh in agitation. The man was no other than her use-to-be and ex-Celestrian mentor, Aquila. Glancing at the panting man running up the stairs, Saffron just glared at him and increased her walking speed. Confused at the girl's actions, Aquila hurried to his student's side and asked, "Why did you not answer when I was called you?"

Saffron ignored him and avoided all eye contact.

"Saffron!"

No answer.

"What did I do wrong?" Aquila then asked. The girl's eyes widened at the question the oblivious man just and turned to him with glowering eyes.

"What did you do wrong?" Saffron mumbled before yelling, "What did you do wrong!? I'll tell you what you did wrong! You-"

She was cut off when she felt a gentle but firm aura behind. The girl turned around to see a tall and slender woman wearing a beautiful white gown and had a laurel wreath sitting on her golden hair. Her blue eyes stared at Saffron before the woman spoke, "Saffron, a word?"

"A-Ah! Yes!" Saffron squeaked and rushed upstairs.

Aquila was about follow suit when the woman held out her arm out to the side and commanded, "Sterling, can you keep Aquila company?"

"Yes, Goddess Celestria," a muscled man said and he lead the other man to the famous Starflight Express.

Saffron laid on the lush grass and stared at the while ceiling with the expression of bliss. With Aquila gone, she can finally relax and doesn't have to worry about anything. The girl's small pointed ears picked up a giggle and one eye became half open.

"Causing trouble, is he?" Celestria giggled through her closed lips.

The girl sighed and frowned at the memories with Aquila. "You don't know the half of it." She mumbled

As she sat up, the goddess summoned a golden hairbrush from the sky began to gentle brush Saffron's hair, "Please do tell!"

The Celestrian explained that ever since she changed his fate, saved him from death and changed him into a human, the literally bald-headed man had been tagging along on Saffron's adventures. Keep a close eye on her every move. To make things worse, he keeps on making false claims that he was her fiancé. No matter how much times she told him to stop (threatening him on a few occasions) Aquila would still say that he and Saffron are destined to wed in the future.

Celestria laughed at Saffron's complaint. It answered her question on why her little sister, Stella, was angry with Saffron, her best friend. It became clear that Stella had developed a crush on the man and with his claims as Saffron as his future wife, she became heart-broken and blamed on her best friend. 'Now that I think about it…she still is,' the woman thought, 'I'll sort that out later,'

Saffron was busy enjoying the peacefulness when she felt the pressure on her hair vanished and Celestria stood in front of her, wearing a serious expression. "Saffron," the goddess said to her in a manner that she was not joking around, "the real reason why I called you here is because there is something important I would like you to do."

The girl got up from the grass and stared at the goddess. She had an inching feeling that this errand had something to do with her dream: an angel boy calling out to her for help.

Reading Saffron's thoughts, Celestria nodded. There was a world in danger of darkness and corruption and its Celestial ruler asked Celestria for help. Which is why the blonde goddess is Saffron to the endangered world and save before it's too late.

"Wait!"

The two females watched Aquila as he ran into the room. "Please wait, my goddess," the man panted and requested, "Please send me with her. There's no way she can do on her own."

"That is correct, Aquila. Unfortunately, you cannot go."

"What? Why!?"

"I have a few reasons: this is something Saffron must do without you; another goddess gave us some assistance and…I have recently located somebody that has been lost for a long time."

Hearing the last sentence made the girl unconsciously reach and grab the red pendant that hanged from her neck.

There was one more reason: due to the events that happened three centuries ago and the final fight with Corvus, it was proven that Saffron had the equal amount of power as a goddess. However, these powers are unidentifiable so to identify Saffron's true potential, this mission also serves as a trial. When she succeeds, Saffron will be able to fit the role as goddess.

Aquila was still against him not going but his former student was determined to go through with it. Celestria understood and formed a magic circle that would transport her to the other world. Then, something popped up in Saffron's head. "Wait!" she called out to Celestria, "Who's the other goddess that lent her assistance?"

The blonde goddess smiled and said in a sing song way, "That's for me to know and you to find out."

'I hate it when people say that,' the frowning girl thought as her vision went white and suddenly black.

Here's the prologue for the sequel. It may not be what you was expecting, but hey…I'm still gonna follow the game's actual plot but with different characters and different personality (don't worry, there's gonna be a ladies-man)

PS: the next chapter might take me long to finish since I'm having trouble with one of the four main characters (a boy character that takes the role of Agnes)
