Our world, Terca Lumireis has at last achieved partial peace. The Adephagos that tried to consume the world was destroyed by unknown heroes. Blastia are no longer a part of this world and have been rendered to powerless jewels. The Empire and Guilds have come together, even though there are some who oppose this movement. Peace has befallen our world.
There were rumors as to how the thing in the sky had been destroyed and all the blastia rendered useless however many people were not certain which story to believe as every different person had heard many different stories. Only those that personally knew the group, and the group itself knew what had really transcended the day the Adephagos was destroyed. Now, Fortune's Market was busy trying to find something to replace blastia, the knights and the guilds worked to protect the cities as a united force, yes there were some disputes but everything worked out well. Brave Vesperia helped with the protection of cities, until an anomaly claimed the attention of the world and the knights once again asked for Brave Vesperia's assistance with dealing with this anomaly.
Calm before the Storm
A lone figure stood on the rubble of a fallen city, silhouetted by the setting sun as it looked across the town that had once been her home. The figure was dressed in a red, black, yellow, and white outfit and her light brown hair didn't even touch her shoulders. A long yellow ribbon attached to her right arm blew gently in the slight breeze that was the only sound in the desolate area. The girl looked at the book she was holding, it was worn as if read many times yet it had not been damaged at all when the ceiling of the cave collapsed.
"This world and the others" She muttered, intrigued by the title of the book, for the only world they knew of was their world, Terca Lumireis, there were no others as the title said there were. Maybe what they had believed for such a long time to be true was actually a fallacy. She looked at the book once more before putting it into her book holder, stretching the holder's straps to fit the newest book alongside her spell book. 'Might as well have Estelle look through it, I have no mind for fiction, only science books are interesting to me. Estelle seems to love to read anything and this will be good practice for her,' the mage thought as she jumped down from the rubble and started out along the road that used to lead to Aspio, the city of scholars.
Rita Mordio walked along the road with cliffs on both sides, quite a ways off but there none the less. Few monsters crossed her path as she continued and those that did were quickly dispatched with a few fireballs, since they were all small fry to her. Even though people could not use blastia anymore, the mana that now existed thanks to the spirits allowed for magic to be used without blastia and on top of that, the spells were more powerful. Not everything was perfect though; there were no barriers and people at towns worked into the night to create walls strong enough to keep out the monsters. Now Rita herself worked directly for the empire, not just working at an imperial lab, she was given permission to do what she wanted but researched anything that the candidates to the throne or the commandant of the knights wanted her to do.
Currently she wasn't working on a job and had gone to see what the fate of Aspio had been. What she had found was about what she expected, the entire town in ruins and her lone shack with the crystal pillar destroyed. What she was not expecting to find was the book, sitting on the highest flat piece of rubble, with a sun beam directly on it making the crystal on the cover spread a gentle white light all around the fallen city. A cloud went over the sun when Rita had approached the book, making the light fade away.
She looked up as she approached Halure, where Estelle now had a house that she stayed in whenever she could, and wrote her fantasy stories. Actually, her first story was that of the group that had destroyed the Adephagos, herself and Rita included. Estelle was calling it Tales of Vesperia, and should be finished by now, almost a week after they had defeated Duke. Anyways, Rita had planned to meet with Estelle and the others in Halure to discuss what she had discovered when going through random libraries. Now she had decided that the book she found was a much more appealing topic to talk about and that the information she had found earlier was useless. Halure grew larger in her vision as she walked towards it, the setting sun casting a brilliant light over the city, making the tree glow with many different colors. A fancily dressed girl sat on one of the protruding roots, two others waited with her, one with long black hair, and the other with short, spiky blonde hair that looked windblown. The girl waved at the approaching mage, making her pink hair go back and forth with this motion.
It was obvious why Yuri had come along to greet her, but why was the Blondie here? She wracked her brain for the answer for this question but came up empty; the one thing she could not figure out was boys.
Estelle quickly snapped Rita out of thinking when she ran up to her, gripped her hands and said happily, "I'm so glad you're here, Rita! Come on, the others are waiting at the inn!" And, with that, Rita was dragged to the inn nestled by the roots of Halure's great tree.
"So, basically what you are saying, Rita is that there is another world out there like the Labyrinth of Memories? And this world has been visited before?" Yuri asked from where he stood, or rather, leaned, against the wall of the inn.
"I said that there is a high probability that that is the case. There is no solid evidence and the book I found may just be made up literature," Rita corrected. She was sitting on the edge of one of the two beds that occupied the room, next to Estelle and with the Blondie standing at the foot of the same bed. "And also, as I was saying before you rudely interrupted me; it also seems that there is a meteor headed for Terca Lumireis. According to the angle that it will enter the atmosphere at and its speed it should land around where the ruins of Tarquaron are. This meteor is probably the meteor mentioned in the book if the book is reliable. Meaning that there is a very high chance that inside the meteor is a portal to this other world."
"And when will it hit?" A childish voice came out from a spiky haired short kid. A girl with short brown hair and a large crescent boomerang on her back stood next to him as they had been together since Brave Vesperia had come back from Defeating the Adephagos.
"5pm Sharp tomorrow" Rita replied in a matter-of-fact voice.
