Polerman-Hey people I just thought of this idea one day and today I thought why not write this and here it is. It may take sometime considering this is my second story and that means two stories going on at the same time and well that means my attention will be divided.
This chapter is mainly an introduction so if there's no action or drama or anything you know why. and I ask please Read and Review because even though I can write this it doesn't mean I wouldn't mind a good word or two.
Disclaimer-I don't and probably never will own Tales of Symphonia
Born a Knight
The year is unknown to most but we'll just say it's been a while since the reuniting of the worlds and let's just say the kingdom of Tethe'alla is still living in the feudal system and if you don't know how that works it's quiet simple really. The Feudal System was basically if you were born a noble you were a noble, born a peasant you were a peasant, and born a Knight you were a Knight. There was no way to upgrade yourself you were what you were born into.
Well I'm not here to talk about the feudal system I'm here to talk about a Knight named Cid Moore. Cid was born into a grand family of knights, the Moore family name has been a name most Kings have been able to count on. The name Moore has been in Knight Hood for about over many millenniums, even before the splitting of the two worlds records show them as knight to the realm of Tethe'alla.
To get a quick overview of Cid's past. Cid was born as a middle child of a family of five. His father was the Captain of the Citadel and his mother was part of the archer division in Flanoir. They met when the King went on a religious vacation to see the relics of the land of Tethe'alla and Cid's Father Sir Fredrick Moore was assigned to be his bodyguard and they met and it was love at first sight.
After a while they had Cid's older brother Linkin Moore currently age 22 presently has his fathers' old job of Captain of the Citadel. Then his older sister came two years, after she married a Duke later in life and became Mrs. Elizabeth Williams and visits regularly. Then Cid came two after his sister and his father favored him mainly and taught him early in life on how to be a Knight of the realm, then his younger brother Anthony came three years after and aspires to be just like his father and two older brothers but instead got accepted in the Papacy legion. Then after many years his Father Fredrick thought he had enough children, but his many days gone on assignments his wife Jenifer had many children to take care of and so she hired a butler. One lonely night led to another child with a butler half elf and then Cid's youngest sister Mavis Moore was born when Anthony was twelve.
But Cid wasn't around for the birth of Mavis because he ran away when he was fifteen. He ran away because his family always forgot about him. On one occasion they only realized he wasn't with them in till the party was over. After this happened the fifth time he decided to run away. His trial of Knight Hood started him off as a fighter like most do at age ten then by the age of fifteen they become brutes and after three or four years of being a brute the are knighted. So Cid ran away when he was in brute status at age fifteen. The worlds were already reunited so Cid ran off to the new lands of Sylvarant and Cid not knowing the way of the land accidentally stumbled onto the new location of Mizuho.
The people not knowing who he was looked at him as a threat and put him under arrest, Cid spent a few days in prison and was let out when he finally explained why he was here which was that he was becoming a knight and wanted to know more about different styles of fighting. The chief easily accepted the lie and allowed him in, Cid quickly started in a new style but it wasn't a way of violence but a way of meditation Tia Chi, Cid mastered Tia Chi within one year of training and was told he learned many things easily by his sensei, Sensei Motoko. Cid still not happy enough to return home spent a week meditating and was accidentally disrupted by someone practicing in the style of the Seven Dancing Blades, which was a combination of ancient dance and swordsmanship. Cid very curious with the style asked the young women how one could learn, the young girl was a orphan and was being taken care of by the vice-chief's family. Cid and the young girl Taki became easy friends and rival as they both learned the unique style.
Cid and Taki finally graduated after two years of heavy training, Cid and Taki were getting closer and closer as the years passed and Cid finally got a letter from his mother, it told him about the affair his mother had and the child who was born. Cid had to make a quick farewell to all the friends and most of all he had to say farewell to Taki, Cid recently came home to find the letter was one year late and his mother had already died of a sickness and that his father was raising the baby as his own. Cid was quickly knighted upon his return and spends most of his time training up on Fooji Mountain and brooding over the loss of mother and most of all Taki.
