Chapter 1: A Hopeless Smile

Luin.

The City of Hope.

What was so hopeful of this city now?

As I lie here tonight, my future slowly being picked out for me, where is my say?

Can no one hear my voice? My screams, my pleading to stop this madness called life?

No…no one can ever understand me. No one will ever stop to listen.

So, as I have been raised, I'll smile and bear this suffering and agony.

As the Mayor's daughter of Luin…

It is my duty.

The rain was soft that evening, she remembered, as she lay still on her bed, her face half-buried against the covers as she recalled memories of the day's events. Her chocolate brown eyes were shimmering with the glisten of tears, and she sniffed hard as the whirlpool in her eyes began to swirl deeper and deeper…so deep that her vision became blind.

She shut her eyes tight as her tears, raindrops of the soul, drowned and consumed her. No matter how much she would scream, no matter how much she would convince herself that the events of that day were not true, her memories became more and more vivid, so much more real…

The memories of today…how she wished they'd stop…how she wished she could escape…

'Now,' She thought as she sobbed as she held her pillow closer to her chest, her breath becoming heavier as her head throbbed from her sobs, her river of tears unceasing. 'Is the only time I can let all these tears out…'

-Earlier that Day-

Cherry Blossoms…

'How beautiful they are this time of year.' A young woman smiled as she drifted her slender hand across the waters of Luin's fountain, herself sitting gracefully upon the stone edges. She picked up a cherry blossom that had fallen into the water and after blowing off the water droplets from its dewy petals, placed the bud delicately on top of her long flowing brunette head.

She looked over across the waters to peer at her reflection, and smiled at the flower in her hair. It matched beautifully with the simple red gown she wore, which attired along with a smile white sash across her waist, tied swiftly into a gorgeous ribbon. The outfit itself was nothing fancy, but it was fitting for the daughter of a mayor. She was no princess or noble lady but yet she was valued in the city highly.

She was theMayor Sanel's daughter, his only child, his only family. The great leader of Luin whom lead their militia and kept the Desians at bay, she was to be the perfect example of his image.

Proper.

Poise.

Modest.

Ladylike.

The mere words brought a wrinkle to her nose, but she was quick to shake these thoughts away.

'You should never worry or sulk over the things in life that upset you, but instead, take a breath. Look around and smile and cherish the things that please you, the people you love, and the world we live in. If can let all the hate go, then only love, a much stronger love, will remain.'

That was what her mother told her, and that's what this woman grew up believing.

She smiled to herself once again as she took note of the beautiful day of Luin, how marvelous the sun glistened against the clear streams and river, how sweet the air tasted, how cheerful its citizens were…

Her warm chocolate brown eyes trailed towards a group of children playing a game in front if the fountain, their faces so bright, so full of laughter and joy. This sight brought warmth to the woman's heart as she laughed at their games with delight, how amusing and how carefree a world to a child was.

She took much delight watching the kids play in a game of tag, giggling to herself warmly as the friendly competition became a figure of rivalry between the little girls and boys.

How…how she wished she could return to the days of her youth…how simple things were then.

In the game, however, her soft laughter must have pitched into a higher tempo as one small girl ceased her frolicking with the others and turned her attention to the young woman by the fountain.

A smile was brought to her cheery cheeks as she took sight of the lady, her bright blue eyes shining, her red pig tails bouncing with excitement.

"Lady Anna!" She cried out in delight as she ran towards the woman, her words bringing in the attention of the other boys and girls. They too, smiled and cried out her name, running and gathering around the fountain alongside her.

"Lady Anna, Lady Anna, Lady Anna!" The small girl cried again as she wrapped in arms around Anna's legs in the form of a hug, Anna responded in patting and kissing the girl's head.

"Lady? Where's the lady?" Anna placed her hand against her forehead as she scoped the environment around her in mock questioning. The small girls laughed at her mocking, as well as the boys, as Anna quit her joking.

"Come on now, I'm not a nlady. A lady is a girl who…" Anna out her hand to her chin for a moment, in deep thought as she schemed with the children. "One who wears a GIGANTIC crown that she can't even lift her own head! One who is snobby! And pig-ed nose!" She pinched her nose up as an example, bringing out more laughter from the children.

Anna, too, joined in.

"I am only Mayor Sanel's daughter; I was once like you, I am still like you." She tapped a small blonde girl's nose, "So young and spirited." She then brought her attention to a young boy; his face freckled and smudged by dirt. "And I was once mischievous and adventurous as you too!" She giggled as she patted the boy's head.

"Lady Anna, you're funny!" The children chided as Anna laughed nervously; they completely ignored her reasoning after all...

But she shook it off; they were children, naïve and innocent. With them…Anna felt like herself.

"You guys seemed like you are having a lot of fun over there." She motioned her head towards the area where the group played the game of tag, "It was very fun to watch."

The small girl with pig-tails eyes glistened as she looked up at the beautiful woman, "Would you like to join us Lady Anna? The boys are playing too rough, and the girls can use another player! Pleeeeassseee?" She asked frantically as she jumped up and down, tugging at her skirt. The other girls soon joined her, jumping up and down in a mad frenzy.

"No way! Lady Anna wouldn't want to bother playing! She has better things to do!" The boys countered as they disappointed the girls with their words, bringing a pout to all their small faces.

Anna's heart leapt with joy at their offer, "Who said?" She giggled as she stood from her seat on the fountain, her long hair flowing gracefully with the fluent motion, "I think that the boys are scared that we might win, right girls?" She winked towards the small kids, whose face lit up at their role model's acceptance.

"Yay! YAY! C'mon Lady Anna, let's go play!" They all shouted in delight as they tugged at her white bow and skirt, Anna laughing as they pulled her towards the play area.

"Alright…Alright…But…" Anna began, her voice oozing with the tone of implication.

"YOUR IT!" She shouted as she tapped a small, ignorant boy, on the shoulder before rushing with the girls to the other side of the area, her voice loud and clear in the tone of a small child.

She laughed and squealed with the children as she stumbled over the hem of her red dress, falling into a pile a mud. Instead of the woman screaming in disgust or repulsion, she laughed as she stood up, brushing off the flecks of dirt, rubbing in the smudges on her dress.

Unknown to most, but known to only herself, Anna was not truly the proper, ladylike daughter of Mayor Sanel that her appearance often showed.

This was the true Anna.

The one seen with the small children.

The one seen with a dirt-smudged face, laughing in glee.

The one whose smile was reflected against the cool waters of Luin…

"Anna!" A voice cried out in annoyance as the owner of said voice ran throughout Luin, her eyes searching for the brunette, their face the expression of irritation.

"You," The owner of the voice, who was female, asked a bystander who was carrying a bag of goods, "Have you seen Anna?" She asked, her voice now exhausted.

The by-stander pointed a finger to a woman across the small bridge to the fountain with a group of children, laughing with squeals in the dirt. The woman rolled her hazel eyes at the sight before uttering a "Thank you." She bid her goodbye to the stranger before watching the group, sweat-dropping as she did so.

"Ah! I need an Apple Gel, quick!" Anna mock-cried as she faked an injury on her knees, two children swarming around her.

"The Chosen needs our help!" A small boy shouted towards a girl, whom nodded and rushed to Anna's side.

"Take this!" The girl cried as she poked a girl, whom pretended to be a monster, with a small stick lightly while the boy went to aide the 'Chosen'.

"C'mon Chosen, let's fight!" The girl said as she handed Anna a small stick. Anna rose to her feet with the small stick, and playfully swung it around, "Take this sinful fiends!"

"Hi-yah!" She cried as she lunged, but unfortunately, the hem of her dress caught, causing the woman to stumble forward head first into the mud, her long brunette hair spread out.

"Martel help her…" The woman, who observed the whole scene before her, sighed as she put a hand to her forehead. She took a deep breath, readying herself for what she was about to face, and headed towards the brunette in the mud.

Anna rose to her knees, and wiped away the mud from her face before laughing. The children all surrounded her, offering their assistance to whatever their lady needed.

The woman reached Anna in time for this, and loomed over her…

Anna, whom was completely dirty from head to toe, was oblivious to the woman hovering over her, her arms cross, her expression annoyed.

"Ohhh Annaaaaaa" She sing-songed in a childish way into her ear, causing chocolate brown orbs to perk and widened at the sound. "I founndddd you!"

Anna immediately turned her attention to the voice above her, well aware of whom it was. She gulped as the person tsked at her appearance. Anna looked down upon herself, than at the children, than at herself again before grinning nervously as she scratched behind her head.

"Why um… Elli!" She laughed nervously as she was raised to her feet, brushing off her now muddy dress, "Surprise, Surprise!" She laughed nervously once more. The children around Anna, noting the tension and trouble their 'lady' was now in, hugged her before scurrying off.

Anna smiled as she waved back to them.

The woman, Elli, sighed in aggravation at the sight of her childhood friend. She took note of the muddy dress compared to her own nice, clean pale blue one.

How nicely her yellow sash was tied compared to Anna's now frayed ribbon.

How her nicely blonde locks were combed and kept, next to Anna's tangled brunette tresses.

Elli's hazel eyes narrowed. "You're a mess." She put simply as Anna sweat-dropped to her friend's comment. "I can always be cleaned." She laughed as the two began walking across the town, Anna mending her own hair as they did so. Elli felt embarrassed as bystanders stared at Anna, their eyes curious, yet not surprised at the least.

It was a typical sight.

And Anna…Anna seemed to care less.

"You are supposed to be an example for the children, not another playmate for them. I swear Anna; you have not grown since childhood." Elli shook her head, Anna giggled as she glanced over at her friend.

"You know I have a soft-heart for children, Elli." Anna smiled, Elli scowled.

"That doesn't mean you have to go and frolic with them every afternoon! You haven't grown up much at all."

"But you, my dearest Elli, have grown up way too much and way too fast! You constantly primp yourself in front of your mirror all day, hoping that Laurence will ask for your hand but yet you neither speak to the man! You have to lighten up, a bit, am I wrong?" Anna poked at her friend as she nudged her elbow against her ribs, raising an eyebrow.

"Anna, if your father found out about your behavior, we both would be dead. I'm tired of covering for you! We are fully grown, and yet you are still seen making mud pies with the little children…" Both of the girls sweat-dropped as Anna laughed.

Elli soon began to number off with her fingers, "You don't take pride in your studies either, you're always late, your mentor is always waiting…"

"You knowthat I'm not a scholar, Elli." Anna scoffed, "All the mentors in Luin have given up on me as it is." Anna said as she shrugged her shoulders, Elli frowned.

"Anna, as mature adults, both of us must-"

"We are only seventeen!" Anna laughed out loud as she cut off her friend's remark, "If we rush our lives too quickly, how can we stop and cherish what we have now?"

"Yeah but Anna…"

"And now, I cherish what I have. I live in a wonderful city, and I have the most wonderful best friend in all of Sylvarant!" She threw her arms across Elli's shoulders, smiling. "And as long as I have that, I will keep on living with a smile on my face!"

Elli sighed, not bothering to shake off the arms of her friend, she learned now that if she did so, they would simply re-attach themselves later at some point.

"I envy you Anna; you smile at just about everything." She smiled towards Anna, who grinned back. Anna released her hold on her friend, "That's because it's easier to smile than to frown Elli."

There was a long silence as the two walked, before Elli spoke up. "Ella." She simply said to her friend, who looked at her questionably.

"Refer to me as Ella now, it's my birth name and Laurence seems to like…mature women. It sounds more sophisticated." She delicately motioned her hands in front of her in a graceful manner to emphasize her point.

"Mature…women…" Anna repeated slowly after Elli's words.

Anna couldn't help it; she burst out into laughter, again.

"What's so funny?" Elli huffed as she placed her hands on her hips, her pale face now red as tomatoes.

"I'm sorry Elli, but Ella? I can't call you anything else but Elli, sorry to poor Laurence." Anna giggled as she walked ahead of her friend, "I've been calling you that since birth, so I'm gonna stick to it, El-la." She poked fun at her best friend.

"A-Anna, please! If it'll impress Laurence…" She muttered off, blushing madly.

"Hmm," Anna thought, "Maybe if you actually spoke him to more than just muttering a hello, he'll develop some interest."

"That's easy for you to say Anna; you've never had any experience with men." Elli sighed, fiddling with the sash on her dress.

"Ah, but I know Laurence!" Anna stuck a finger up in the air knowingly, "He's like a brother to me! We've grown up together and I think, if you spend some time with him instead of always being so vain, he'll pay more attention." Elli was silent as she turned even a deeper red.

"You're so lucky Anna; you don't have strong emotions for any man to bother you…"

"Oh wow, I sure am lucky." Anna rolled off, her voice dripping with sarcasm before bursting out into laughter.

Elli sighed at her friend, "You really are something, you know that?" Anna quit her daze and looked at her friend.

"Anymore dazed than that and all hell could break loose, and you still wouldn't realize." Elli laughed, Anna too, joining in.

Anna smiled as she skipped ahead, facing back towards her friend as she watched her catch up.

"But that's the reason I came for you today …Mayor Sanel sent for you. He says it's…urgent…"Elli finally said as Anna's face suddenly became serious, her expression weary.

How eerie it was for Elli to see her cheerful friend turn so serious.

"Father?" Anna muttered as she felt the wind pick up, carrying her flowing hair to its shoulders.

It was evening by the time they reached Anna's manor. It wasn't ornate or extravagant in the sense of typical manor would be, but it was modest, simple, and sweet. Two stories, ivy and roses entwined up against the side of the clay building, the windows themselves beautiful as stain-class. Water flowed by the sides, nourishing the gardens surrounding the building.

Anna looked upon the house with indifference as she entered with Elli by her side, her hands clenched tight around her skirt. She feared the ridicule she would receive by her father as soon as he sees her dirty smudged face, the scorn she will now receive…

They entered breathlessly as Elli was quick to shut the door behind them silently. Anna fretted with her hair and skirt as she noticed the servants approach her, to help her clean up no doubt; she raised her hand to dismiss them as she headed towards her father's den.

Oh…how she later wished she would have left those doors shut…

She entered the room, her face questioning, her appearance still tattered. Elli followed, again closing the door behind her friend.

Anna did not take in the familiar sight of the den like she used to do as a child, when she was rarely invited inside. Oh, how she used to marvel at the human-sized fire place, the labyrinth of books piled upon shelve among shelve, the beautifully illustrated maps of Sylvarant laid out upon her father's desk, or the desk itself which was placed in the center of the complex, so bold and wonderfully carved.

Or even how the beautiful figurine of Martel stood preciously upon the center of that very desk, its structure glistening against the firelight's incandescent glow…

No, her eyes did not even glance at these things tonight. Instead, they went directly to her father, who sat behind that bold desk. His dark chestnut eyes were old in fatigue as he looked up from his writings to her, his weary brunette hair, once as vibrant as hers, now tinting with the sparks of gray. He stroke his short beard thoughtfully at her appearance before dismissing it, something odd for him to do.

Anna's heart skipped.

"Father…you have called me?" Anna spoke to him, her tone very polite, very modest. The tone of her voice now always would shock Elli. She was always so used to the carefree, life-loving Anna, but no matter how many times she would hear Anna speak to her father, it didn't cease to amaze her how she could suddenly become this different person.

Anna became distant in tone, her voice polite, her structure ladylike, and her figure noble.

It was as if she had morphed into an entirely different person right before her very eyes.

"Yes, I have." Mayor Sanel spoke, his eyes once again reverting to the scrolls before him. He dipped a feathered quill into a vile of ink, writing out more of the document.

Anna's eyes watched him hesitantly as he did so. They dared to trail after about a minute of watching him writing, it was to nerve-wracking to watch her father for too long.

They traced the den, she did not allow herself to be overtaken by the beauty of it, it was not the time for that. She looked around, her eyes only moving, her body perfectly still.

But…

Just when she thought it was impossible to loose her cool demeanor, she finally noticed that Elli, herself, and her father weren't the only ones in the room.

There was another, sitting across from her father's desk, quietly.

It was a man, a man both Elli and Anna knew well. A man they have grown up with, a man whom they studied next to, played games with, have shared their whole lives with…

It wouldn't be hard for Anna or Elli to distinguish him in a large crowd, his features stood out enough. His bright piercing blue eyes, his sleek coal-black hair, his well-built soldier physique.

"Laurence…?" Anna questioned as she made his presence aware, she heard Elli squeak from behind her as she probably, did too, notice the man. Anna didn't have to look at her to notice her friend flushed deeply.

The said man stood as he was addressed, fully garbed in Luin's militia uniform. His eyes met Anna's chocolate brown orbs with certain gentleness, something Anna was foreign of.

What was…that look?

"Anna…" He spoke; speaking her name in such a reverie that Anna's knees began to buckle. Elli began to tense as she gripped the ruffles of her own dress.

"My daughter, please sit." Mayor Sanel gestured to the seat next to Laurence, Anna shook her head.

"I'd rather stand, thank you." Her father nodded to her wishes before moving on.

"Ella, you may leave." He then gestured to Elli, whom nodded and went to leave.

"She stays." Anna spoke up, even louder, much more bolder than before.

Mayor Sanel stared hard at his daughter, before complying with her wishes. Elli looked back at the three, before nodding shakily, standing still behind Anna's side.

"What is the reason for my beckoning?" Anna spoke, her voice hesitant. She felt foolish for asking, deep down…she knew…

Of course, she was expecting it from the moments she reached womanhood, and from those moments…she loathed it…

Oh how she hated it…

She prayed long and hard for her prediction to be wrong…

She prayed so long and hard that Elli hadn't figured it out…

Anna did not dare to face her friend to find out.

"I am not getting younger." Mayor Sanel began as he placed a pair of small spectacles upon his nose, looking over and revising the documents in his hands. "And as I age, I wish to see this town prosper; you know that as my intentions."

Anna nodded, "And it has prospered. From the day mother passed…"Her voice faltered at the words, the mere memory, " Those whom escaped the ranch are lucky to find refugee here, and all our citizens are truly loyal. It has become truly beautiful."

"And so have you. You are the very image of your mother." Mayor Sanel grinned softly upon his daughter, completely discarding her tattered appearance. "She was your age when she married."

'No…!' Anna's eyes widened as she maintained her body from shaking, the firelight flickered uncontrollably as it taunted her…

Her prediction…was true…

"As I grow weary in my age, I have witnessed this city become great and strong. The Desians stayed at bay thanks to our militia, whom Laurence so proudly commands. He was my age when I married your mother."

"Father-" Anna began, her voice becoming unsteady but Sanel raised a hand to seize her words.

"The two of you have known each other from your school days as mere children, and now, this evening, he has come to me for your hand. I have so generously accepted his offering."

Anna's eyes widened as wide as they could before, her body began to shake as she felt her head begin to spin.

"W-What…?" She spoke, her words becoming nothing more than a confused murmured. Anna turned to meet Laurence's gaze, she slowly shook her head in disbelief…

"L-Laurence…?" She asked, incredulously. Please let him deny it, please let this be another one of his foolish schemes that he was oh so famous for!

Marriage?

"My dearest Anna, please…I wish nothing more than your precious hand. For you to be my wife, which is the greatest honor one could receive, I wish for nothing more." He took her shaking hand and bowed before her, "Please, by the Goddess Martel, grant me thy acceptance."

Anna…couldn't believe his words! She faced towards her father, whom nodded. "It is your duty. As the mayor's daughter, you are to be married to Laurence, the head commander of our militia."

Anna, her soul becoming a fiery flame, snapped as she snatched her hand away from Laurence.

"But I don't love him! I have no desire to marry! I don't want to marry!" She yelled loudly as she stepped back away from the two, her voice shaking with rage.

"Laurence is my childhood friend! He's like a brother to me...! Why not Elli?" Anna turned her anger out on Laurence, "She loves you! And I know deep down that you love her as well, it may not be strong as these confused feelings you might have for me, but if you give her a try I'm sure-"

"ANNA!" Her father's stern voice overpowered her own, "You know what you are." He stated coldly as he glared at her, he held up the scroll that he was previously writing displayed it before her, "This scroll promises Laurence your hand, my agreement to him. As you can see, you have no say."

"But Father, I-!"

He father suddenly screamed out in a sudden rampage "WHAT GOOD IS A DAUGHTER THAT WON'T OBEY TO HER FATHER'S WILL?" Anna was taken back as she whimpered, placing her hand delicately upon her mouth in dismay.

Tears began swirl around her eyelids.

Sanel slammed his fists among his desk, his face red and argumentative, as if to prove his point.

Anna inhaled a slight gasp of weak breath as she stepped back, tears now streaming down her porcelain cheeks.

'Oh Martel, please don't let me break down. Not now…'

"The papers have been signed. You are to be married to Laurence in a matter of weeks…do not disappoint me." He sternly said before waving her off, dismissing her.

Anna stood there, frozen. Laurence went to take her hand, to sooth her but she pulled it away sharply. She glared coldly at him before turning around to the door to leave, biting her tongue to prevent such unladylike things to flow out of them.

But as she turned to leave, she faced Elli.

"E-Elli…" Anna muttered as she took hold of her best friend's appearance. She was barely holding herself together, her lips trembling as she clutched her dress so tightly, her knuckles whitened. Anna reached out for her but she took a step back, her eyes avoiding her friend.

She could not even look at her right now.

"Don't. Touch. Me." Was all Elli could utter, Anna…she could not describe the angst, the pure agonizing melancholy she was suffering right now.

"Retire to your quarters, Anna." Her father ordered sharply again, Anna's back went rigid.

She approached the doorway, and opened the heavy doors once more. But before she took her leave, she placed her hand softly against the oak frame, her face slightly turned to the side.

And all she could think of, all she could say was the worst things she could ever say…to her father…

"Did mother…did she react the same?" She looked tearfully back to him, turning away before she could read his shocked expression. She let the servants shut the door behind her.

As soon as the oak doors shut behind her, Anna ripped the white sash off her dress and thrown it viciously towards the floor.

'No more…'

She rushed up the steps towards her quarters, her face red, her eyes threatening the hysteria of tears.

'No more…!'

It wasn't until her own door shut behind her that she let out a huge breath, before screaming her heart out.

Her face was red, her tears hot as she ripped off her muddy dress and throwing it to the floor.

'Stop, Stop everything!'

She flung herself on top of her bed, in nothing but a white silken slip, and screamed until her voice cracked.

The hot tears burned her already red cheeks as she cried desperately into the pillow, trying her best to forget everything that happened.

However, the more she tried, the more painful reality was, the more real it became…

She clenched her head tight as she sobbed uncontrollably, oh how it burned her head to cry so hard!

"Stop this! Stop this mad world, O Goddess Martel, please let me escape!" She cried as she threw herself upon her pillow, her tears soaking through her soft white sheets…

And soon, Anna cried herself into a deep, agonizing sleep…

It was years after that night that Anna would look back and regret her pain, her misery, her sheer agony that she felt…

For it was nothing compared to what would soon happen to her…

That fateful next day…

"Hmm, it's seems we're running low on subjects." A man, showcased in dark shadows, pondered as he thought in front of his desk, reviewing paperwork after paperwork.

"Lord Yggdrasill would like to me start this theory of his, but most of my people here are too weary, weak." He spat the words in a disgusted matter. "Useless swine…these humans…"

"What good are they, if they can't even maintain their mana without becoming monsters? Pathetic creatures…but perhaps, this theory will prove me wrong." The man smirked, " All I need is one good host body…one good strong, healthy host body."

"Sir, your orders?" A lieutenant Desian approached the man, whom grinned wickedly towards him.

"Gather your men, bring the whole fleet. Tomorrow at dusk, we are invading the City of Luin. Take all that survive, it is time for us to restock our inventory." The man ordered swiftly, his tone wicked. The lieutenant nodded, a smirk forming upon his lips as well.

"And I lift your carnage limit. All those who defy you…"

The mysterious man stood from his desk, and headed towards the lieutenant, his evil features now present.

"Yes, Lord Kvar?" The soldier grinned wickedly as well, anticipating what his lord would say next.

"Kill them".

Dun Dun DUN! Sorry, that was cheesy but I had to x3 So I guess you all know what to expect from the next chapter. Did you guys like the first chapter? Neh Neh . I don't like it all, I think I could have done sooo much better but whenever I stare at my screen, waiting for inspiration to come...AHH!

I wanted to take a different approach from my original perspective that I planned and introduce Anna's character more upfront BEFORE she was taken to the ranch. What was her life like? What kind of person was she before Kvar seized her? That's what I wanted to portray since her life was barely mentioned besides her living in Luin.

I kinda portrayed Luin as a grander city than that you meet in the game but just think about it. The city has been raided several times probably, and was a refugee for those whom escaped the ranch, it'll have to damage after a period of time, no? And the period before all that, is where Anna lived, in my opinion I believed.

I hope you guys look forward to the next chapter! Who knows, maybe a certain auburn fallen angel will appear? xD (coughkratoscough)

Until Next Time!
