Hello there! Once again I have returned from the dead, it seems! This time around I've decided to head into some new territory with a fanfic based on the mobile game Final Fantasy: Record Keeper. Upon seeing how little the fanfic base is for this category (and comparing it to oh, say, FFVII) I decided that it was time to add one more story to this mythos. Anyways, I adore FFRK and I shall do my best to try and tell its story.

I do not own FFRK. FFRK is owned by Square Enix and developed by a company by the name of DeNA. A great mobile game so far, might I add.

**Prologue**

For Eons, there have been stories passed down from generation to generation. These were no mere bedtime stories to tell your children at night to get them into slumber, but ones that an audience listening could somehow relate to, kupo. Inside these stories were tales of heroes, of heroines, sweeping adventures, epic battles and moments of personal triumphs and tragedies. While based on events that somehow have happened without some of us knowing (and a select few of us were privy to know) an audience would be quick to dismiss these as actual happenings and goings-on. To them, all they really were in their eyes were simply just what they have heard-just stories, worded distractions, kupo.

You see, in this kingdom there exists a place where these stories are preserved, collected and stored, so people can see what these adventures were like up close. To actually be able to walk amongst the heroes and heroines of the many realms of fantasy, kupo! Indeed that was a dream of mine for so long. However, my vision was obscured by the negative thoughts of people who thought that I was just a crazy little Moogle, kupo. However, my lucked changed when I met a kindred spirit who believed in the same things that I had, kupo. His name was Cid Highwind. Together, through our blood, sweat and tears we built the Royal Archives, a place where we could truly witness all these epic stories. It was through Cids genius that we were able to take a record-a memory, kupo- and transform it into a painting. It was then that we knew we had something special. We scoured the lands, side by side. We found many more records, thus transforming them into paintings. As time went on, people started to believe in the art and magic of these stories. No longer were these stories thought of as just stories, kupo, but now they were fully fleshed out events! People then began to practice in the arts and in magic. The kingdom was truly at peace, and we prospered, kupo.

And so, the job of Record Keepers-people who through powerful magic turn these records and stories into paintings of great and admirable beauty-was born.

However, little did Cid, Myself and one such fledgling record keeper knew, that this idea, this dream I had for so long, kupo…was about to be put into great peril.

A/N: Yes, yes I know….it's too short. Next chapter will have some considerable meat on its bones, I promise. For now, spread the word-SonicWareInc. Vp has returned! Huzzah!
