Innes: Whatever you say, Virgo. What monstrosity has your twisted little mind conjured up this time?
SV: A sequel!
Innes: For?

SV: Thank you for your support, Innes dear. I love you too.
Innes: Weirdo… ;

Innes: Holy Saint Latona! You'll actually own me! I must have died and gone to hell.
SV: I'll do my best to make a sequel that will justify the greatness of The Sacred Stones. Enjoy the story everyone, and feel free to leave a review.
Pre-Prologue
After the War of the Stones
A quarter century has passed since the last War of the Stones. Prince Ephraim and princess Eirika, together with the help from their friends and subjects, and of course the last remaining Sacred Stone, have stopped the Demon King Formotiis and restored the peace in Magvel.
Ten years after the war, most of Magvel had been returned to its former glory. General Duessel was named steward of Grado, until the nobility of Grado could decide who they should pick as their next ruler. After much discussion they discovered that the Grado bloodline hadn't died with prince Lyon. Apparently, emperor Vigarde had been seeing another woman after his first wife died when Lyon was seven years old. This woman, by the name of Leanna, was a commoner, so when he found out that she was pregnant, he sent her and her unborn child to Caer Pelyn, knowing that he would never see them again as he only stayed in Grado or visited the other royal houses of Magvel. He also knew that he would never have to worry about Leanna or their child, as the people of Cear Pelyn always took care of each other.
How did the Grado Council find out about Leanna and her child? About the time that Grado started invading the other countries; Lyon had sent spies to Caer Pelyn to gain more information about Manaketes as he had heard rumours about them being seen there. The spies disguised themselves as refugees from the war and stayed a few days in Caer Pelyn. During that time they talked to many of the inhabitants, including Leanna and her ten year old son, Toulon. Toulon looked a lot like his father and half-brother, with his gentle features, his fine build, his short, amethyst hair, and equally amethyst eyes. The spies noticed this, but didn't think too much of it at the time. They were there to learn about Manaketes, not about some villager who just happened to look like the emperor and the prince. They decided to keep the amethyst haired boy out of their report, but when the empire fell, the prince died, Duessel reigned and helped rebuild the land and the Grado Council decided to pick a new family for the throne, they decided to tell Duessel about the boy from Caer Pelyn. Duessel decided to take a look for himself, and when he met Toulon in person, he couldn't believe the resemblance. The now twenty year old Toulon looked exactly like the late price Lyon! He had a talk with Leanna afterwards, and heard what had happened so many years ago. Duessel then explained to her how the situation in Grado was, and that Toulon was now the rightful heir to the throne. Leanna knew that this day would eventually come ever since she heard that Vigarde and Lyon had died, but she hadn't thought they would actually show up and take her son away. When Toulon heard the truth about his father, he was shocked. After a long, long conversation with his mother and Duessel, they all decided that it would probably be the best for Grado if Toulon took his rightful place on the throne.
Of course things didn't go smoothly when Duessel arrived with Toulon. The Grado Council was very sceptical about the young man, and refused to believe that he was Vigardes child. After another long talk, some magical tests and even more discussions they accepted Toulon as the son of Vigarde. The news was the spread to the other countries letting them now that Grado would once again have an emperor. Ephraim, Eirika, Innes, Tana, Joshua and L'Arachel were al cordially invited to join the crowning ceremony. Needless to say that they were also very surprised when they heard the news and received the invitations. They all went, greeted the new emperor and offered their support and friendship which he gladly accepted. A new era of peace dawned on Magvel, and the people were happy once again. But how long will this newfound peace last?
SV: Well, that's it for the pre-prologue. I'll introduce the lead players of this sequel in the next chapter.
Innes: I better be in it, or else!
SV: Silly Innes! Of course you're in it! How can I leave my favourite sniper out?
Innes:
SV: Works every time :D. I'll try to put the next chapter up before next year. I have a good feeling about this, and I hope you all feel the same way. In case I fail to update before the year ends, merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all! Try not to get too drunk while celebrating. Having a hangover sucks, believe me XD.
