I don't own Grandia II, Roan, or any characters mentioned.. Though I do wish..

This is written from Roans point of view, so thats the reason for the long, confusing words used.. Please R&R! It's my first story!

'So, this is what it's like to be King, eh? It's alot easier than I thought..'

'I thought one of the hardest parts would be giving orations to my people, but it's the easiest. When I was young I used to take notice of my Mother and Father giving speeches, and I contemplated how they did it, how they got the charisma and the confidence to get out there and give it all they had. Now I see, that when you get out there, the crowd below.. They give you there undivided diligence at all times, I mean, I'm the King now, they look up to me. I'm in charge of them, their lives. This accomplished Kingdom.'

'One of my misapprehensions could mean hell for these people, That's the hard part. I have to make the right decision, not just for me, but for my people, for my Empire. They have trusted me on controlling their lives, I can't turn around and make this a burden on their behalf. They look up to me to make this Kingdom a better place to establish oneself.'

'On my travels with Ryudo, I have learnt of many new ways to overcome fears. The main one being to face them. Since taking over, we, as a Kingdom, have tried various neoteric methods of living. Some failed and are long forgotten, some we are still living with today. Still, we must take no thought on the morrow and live for the day that this Kingdom will be better than ever!'

'Elena played an important part on this place, she helped me to understand The battle of good and evil, The day of darkness and all I need to know about us, The descendants of Darkness. We choose not to use that phrase now, as it reminds us of the Gate. The gate has been fully restored and can now be visited, with Paulk standind attentivley on guard. Well, we've had one or two complaints about him being asleep on the job, but we tend to leave him be.'

'Tio, well she left to go visit Maregs grave. We havn't heard of her yet. People of this kingdom do no take to her highly, blaiming her for all the bad that has happened here. I feel that is the reason why she left, but it's to late for sentiments now. She's gone.'

'I miss Mareg dearly. He was like the older brother I never had. I learnt alot of morals and ideals from him and we shared a good, strong friendship. That friendship still lasts, I know he is watching over this Kingdom, helping me make the right decisions. I just wish he could be here to see what an improvement I've made, of this Empire and of Myself. Following his way of life and his view on things and made me realise alot of things about myself. These have all come into play when I became king.'

'I still have a lot of improvements to make on this Kingdom, and on myself. Just have to wait and see what happens in the future...'
