I do not own anything from Star Ocean Till the End of Time! Believe me, I wish I did though. But, like I said before, I don't. However Mirabel/Airlia is my own design. This is going to be a Fayt/Sophia, Albel/Airlia, Cliff/Nel, Mirage/Unknown, Maria/Lieber, solo Peppita, solo Roger, and Airyglyph XIII/Elena Frahm.

The True Nature Of All

Prologue: The Beginning

What if Fayt were not born an only child? What if Sophia, Maria and Fayt were not the only ones imbedded with a unique Symbol? This story will undergo just that theory…

It was the Galactic Year 747, and Robert Leingod took his wife, Ryoko Leingod, and his other two fellow scientists, Clive Esteed and Jessie Traydor out exploring the universe. They were looking for something that was spotted on the radar just days ago back in the Laboratory on Moonbase. Robert had chocolate colored hair and hazel eyes. He stood six feet. Ryoko by contrast, had blue hair and ocean blue eyes. Ryoko stood only a mere five foot three. Jessie Traydor had light brown hair and green eyes. She stood only five foot six. Then there was Clive Esteed, with his dark brown hair and green eyes. He stood just shy of Robert Leingod at five foot ten. The planet had never been seen before and was not on any chart.

"Robert, look, there it is!" Ryoko exclaimed, excited. It was a simple planet that appeared to by a dusty brown color. The computer examined and found it had no known source of water, yet there were enough various gases on the planet that would allow their exploration, almost unhindered on the planet. Setting the ship on the ground, the group got out to explore the planet. They found a mysterious object erected and tried to figure out what it was for. Suddenly the object spoke.

"You must cease all study of what you call symbology. If you do not, then action will be taken against you. Return to me in five years for your judgment to be decided. Now, be gone from my sight. Hurry on back to your world and pass along my message." With that, the mysterious object had shut down and became once again dormant. The four looked at each other. Would they be believed? They went back to the ship to return home. They went to their lab and called up a friend of the Leingods who was also a scientist.

His name was Chad Chapman. He was as stiff as a board sometimes, but he was one of the most intelligent scientists that they had known in their field aside from themselves. Robert smiled at the blond man who stood the same height as himself. "Hello there Chad, I need your help. We all went to the new planet that we discovered; however, what we found was very disheartening. The atmosphere was good enough for us to explore without assistance, however we found this device called a time gate. However, we were warned that if our universe doesn't stop studying Symbology that we will have action taken against us by a higher power."

Chad smiled for a minute; then turned to a serious that lasted all of two minutes as laughter bubbled out. "That was probably some prankster that was hiding in your ship and got out quickly before you did and made it to this 'Time Gate' and used it to scare you. I would just ignore it." That said; Chad walked away as they sank into despair. The next day as it turned out Robert went to see his wife who had been feeling ill. It turned out that Ryoko was pregnant, that they would try to imbued a gene of symbology within the child, not wanting to use another's child. They prayed that the child would one day forgive them for what they have done.

The pregnancy, thankfully to all four scientists had no serious complications and was born a healthy girl with a head full of brown hair and vivid blue eyes. They named her Mirabel Evadne Leingod.

It was her first birthday. The four scientists gave Mirabel so many things, one of which was a beautiful heart necklace to try and apologize for what they were about to do to her. Robert Leingod imbued her with the Symbol for Life at this age. They studied her to see if there were any ill effects and thankfully found none. Each year they dreaded the return to the Time Gate. It was all too soon that the five years passed and they went back to the small planet. They had left Mirabel in the care of Clive's wife, Kyoko. This time, they went with some of the members of the Federation Military to stand in as witnesses.

They got there only to be given no choice but to silently accept their sentence of death. Having returned with the heartbreaking news, they once again found Ryoko was feeling ill again. At first they had attributed it to the news that they had just received. It had turned out that Ryoko was once again pregnant however. They also had an abandoned child the Jessie took in. They were Fayt Leingod and Maria Traydor. They had watched over Mirabel's progress during those years, it was right after Fayt was born, that her destiny was to change drastically. During a study on her to see how her progress was; it was then that she showed something unusual. Her 'Life Symbol' mutated within her.

It split itself into three Symbols. It became Life, Shield, and, soon to be like her baby brother, Destruction. Fearing for his daughter, he arranged for her disappearance. She had to remain hidden for her to live her life safely. They would later give Destruction to his second child, a son, named Fayt Leingod and they would give Alteration to that of Maria Traydor. They destroyed any real traces of Mirabel, except for one file, which only she would be able to access. They sent her off to a planet with a little less development than that of Earth. That was the last anyone had seen of her. Two years later that they would give Sophia Esteed the symbol for Connection.

Inside the capsule, she was safe, though scared that she was all alone without any real comprehension as of why. Life, it's kind of funny in that way. Isn't it usually that just when you think you're at the safest point of life, do you find yourself in the most danger possible? A meteor storm that hadn't been predicted had interrupted the course of the capsule and was forced to crash on a nearby planet. That planet was known as Elicoor Two…
