The Rune Factory merchandise doesn't belong to me. I hope you like it. so far, I think it's the first Aaron x Aria fanfic here... I may be wrong but, hell, whatever. Please know that this is rated T for acceptable reasons— incest, swearing, vague sexual themes... anyway, continue reading and I hope you like it! the prologue is set a few months after the first chapter though.. what do you call that part of the book again? Where you show a part of the story to make it more interesting?

Prologue

"...mom..?"

Alicia blinked, certainly not expecting her 18 year old son to show up at this time of the day. Oh well, he was probably skipping school again in service of requests and monsters...

"Oh, Aaron! I didn't realize you'd come. Do you need a prediction? Are you in awe of my overly awesome fortune telling powers?"

"...well..." the earthmate's eyes were locked on the floor. "It's sort of important, and I need your help."

Alicia smiled at this. "Help from a mother or from a fortune teller?"

"I need a love prediction, on who I like. Romantically." He specified.

"Love prediction it is." Alicia clasped the crystal ball her husband, Kyle, had gifted her in for her hand in marriage nearly 19 years ago, closing her eyes in concentration to a picture only she could see. "Sim sala bim. Sim sim sim sala bim!"

The more she focused, the more she saw it. A familiar girl, face too blurry to see, growing clearer, clearer...

Alicia's eyes flew open in surprise, and because of it the crystal ball dropped to the ground.

"Mom? What is it? Who is it?" Aaron asked in curiosity and concern, heart thumping in nervousness—

Alicia blinked back to the real world. Forcing a laugh, she puton a phony grin. "Did I get you worried? It was just Leann, if you're curious. Now, you hand over your gold or else you'll have something to worry about!"

"You're CHARGING MONEY?"

"You didn't think I was?"

Aaron groaned at his mother, always the insistent fee-forcer, and handed her the gold with a pout. As he walked away however, his heart cried and sang and danced manically with relief. He knew his mother. She was an excellent fortuneteller, tried and true. If she saw Leann, it WAS Leann. And now he had no worries over some.. unnatural feelings. No, even with that small tug of instinc at his heart, the nagging of his heart that it WASN'T Leann, Alicia had seen LEANN. And she hadn't seen—

Aria. Alicia knew she had seen Aria there. And she couldn't believe this. Not Aria— tomboyish, confident Aria that had short reddish-brown hair and chocolate eyes! Not tough, fun Aria that had a hobby of beating monsters or people up verbally or physically but actually very fragile and soft uderneath! Not the Aria that was her daughter, Aaron's sister, and Orland's girlfriend BECAUSE of Aaron.

Running a hand over shiny pink hair, she thought of what to make of the situation. If her prediction was right— and it was always right— that Aaron was romantically in love with his sister— only trouble spelled.

And she decided.

"Kyle needs to know about this."
