Chapter 1: Brothers
"Brother, you can't go!"
"Why not, Vaan?"
"You'll die!!!"
He sighed at the childish act of his brother.
"Vaan, I know what I'm doing, not like you whose mind still drifts off the distance. "
"At least I know what I'm doing!" Vaan fought back. His brother sighed and stood up.
"Reks!" Vaan paused. "I'm only worried about you, brother…we lost mom and dad… I don't want to lose you too, Reks. " Vaan said as he felt tears formed in his eyelid.
"Vaan…" Reks stood up and pet his brother. "Please understand that I'm doing this all for you… for you to be able to fulfill your dream to become a sky pirate…"
"NO!" Vaan took himself away from his brother.
"You're doing this for the sake of Dalmasca! Not for my sake, nor for the sake of our dead parents! " Vaan said as he walked out, leaving his brother.
"Vaan!"
VAAN!!!

Vaan watched as the King of Dalmasca gives honor to the soldiers. And his brother, Reks, was one of those men. He watched how his brother proudly accepted the role, the duty to protect their king, to protect Dalmasca, and to protect his younger brother's future.
"I guess I really can't stop you…" Vaan said as he stood infront of his brother.
Reks gave him a huge smile.
Take care of yourself and be a good boy…
Once I get back, were going to have a feast!!!
Reks said as he pat his brother's head.
Promise…?
Vaan asked, as he looked up at his brother with tears in his eyes that were about to fall…
Promise…
Was his last word as he left his brother, standing straight, tears falling in the corner of the street…
I'm sorry…
Vaan…
