Hi there! Hopefully your about to read my fic, so thank you if your are. I've been sitting on this idea for quite some time now wondering whether I should write it down. Well I have, and if this is in anyway similar to anyone else's, I haven't copied!! This is totally all my idea.
Disclaimer: I do not pretend to own the Characters I am writing about. They belong to Squaresoft and that's where they belong. But I am going to borrow them. I do however own everything else in this story (I think!)
The battle for Equidor
Chapter 1
By Renegade Seraph
The land of Equidor, a place where darkness still reigns like an eternal night. Starter of every war that had ever come to pass, spilling the blood of the innocent in order to achieve ultimate supremacy. A land of corruption, despair and betrayal. The growing treachery ran deep throughout the veins of the land causing Generals to be run with deceitfulness. A man only interested in power ruled the people unfairly. The land was shown no justice as long as he reigned.
In the centre of the land stood the Tall Tower. As high as the clouds and as black as the night. It was the sacrificial tower to Mecleck, the evil spirit, who gave supernatural powers to the one who held the Dragon Eye Staff.
The Staff was a wand of immense power. Passed down though generation-to-generation of lords. The Dark lord of the land had decided to take a wife. He chose a fair maiden of noble birth and placed her high within the Tall Tower until the wedding day.
The reports of the suffering in the land of Equidor, and the news of the Dark Lord's bride. Reached the ears of the people of Seadon. Causing a brave knight to arise and travel the perilous journey to the land of Equidor. Crossing the Quick-sands of Izzlloff, the fires of Sezlon and the snowy peaks of Mt Isvel. Until, finally arriving in Equidor. Leading his small army to defeat the Dark Lord and free the young bride.
No one knows what happens to the hero once he was forgotten, but spirit of Equidor would not allow its people to be free for long. The spirit Mecleck was fading, needing a new master. A new powerful leader, and so a new family claimed the title and when their son was born, so was the new Dark lord. The Almasy family now owned the Dragon Eye Staff.

Rinoa snapped shut the book. It had been written over 500 hundred years ago, and spoke the same depressing things that most of the books that age spoke. She had been reading it a lot lately, searching for a glimmer of hope within its pages. Like the maiden in the book, she too was promised to the lord of the land. The only difference was that she had no knight to save her.
"Rinoa Darling are you ready?" A light female voice called from down the stairs. "Come on Honey, we have to go"
"Yes Mother, I am coming" Rinoa called from her room. They were to attend the annual Palace ball, the most respective ball in Equidor. Only the cream of the society was invited and anyone who arrived without an invite was avoided. Rinoa's Mother and Father attended every year, but it was her first time. It would also be the first time that she would see her promised husband. She was to marry the Dark Lord Almasy, known to be the most ruthless of all his predecessors.
She stomped down the stairway and jumped off the last step. Her Mother had forced her to wear a silk red dress that showed off everything about her figure. Rinoa hated it; it was the one dress in her wardrobe that never got worn.
"M'lady y-your parents await you i-in the carriage" The butler stuttered from the doorway. Her appearance had certainly had an effect on him.
"Thank you" Rinoa replied, as she headed to the door and into the carriage. The driver cracked the whip and she was on her way to meet the Lord.
Ok maybe it wasn't very long, but please tell me what you thought. The other characters all put in an appearance in this story too a bit later on.
Plz Review ~^-^~
