Chapter 1 - Man without a past

-Year Unknown-

#In a rain-storming night, when everyone is hiding inside their dwellings, someone is riding out in the wild. A mysterious figure in black cape, hood and compound with the atmosphere, you can barely see her appearance. She is carrying something, but it is too dark and you can't see what it is...#

Dark Woman: Why did they do this to me? I didn't do anything for once! Suddenly I am out here riding for my life! Curse! No matter, I need to get us both out of this nonsense.

#The dark woman keeps on riding. In the distant ground there are, what appeared to be a group of horseback riders chasing behind her.#

Mysterious group leader(yells): You cannot run away! Hand yourself over to us to prevent bloodshed!

#The mysterious group is chasing after the dark woman. They appear to ride faster than the dark woman does, as the dark woman is carrying something that prevents her from riding at full speed#

Dark Woman(thinks): I will die if I continue...no...WE will die if I continue to go on like this...

#Although the dark woman is riding slower, but there is still a distance before the group will start to catch up on her. However, she knows that if she has to save herself, she will have to abandon whatever she is carrying and go on.#

Dark Woman(thinks): I have no choice...

#The dark woman slows down in front of a large stone pile. She threw whatever she is holding into the "cave" that the stone pile naturally formed into, and rides at full speed ahead#

Dark Woman(Cries and thinks): I can't believe I am doing this! My dear Zane, will you please forgive me? -sobs- ...I will come back for you!

Mysterious group leader(yells): She is getting away! Charge! We must get her!

#With no time to waste, she rides toward the horizon and disappeared. Soon after, the mysterious group disappeared into the horizon as well#

-Fade-

- A really long time after Year Unknown-

#Saga resumes inside prontera church. A wondrous place with rows of white candles, chandelier reflecting moonlight onto walls, red carpet in the middle of walk-way and colorful window decoration. A young man is talking to some children.#

Young man: So, we will end here today, don't forget to come back tomorrow and hear the rest of it.
Child1: That was really good.
Child2: I am looking forward for tomorrow!
Child3: We love you brother!

#Everyone else nods in agreement#

Young Man: I am happy that you all enjoy the story I tell. The sky is getting dark now, you must head back to your home before your parents start to worry about you all.
Child1:Ya. Goodbye brother see you tomorrow!
All: Bye bye!
Young Man: Bye.

#A chamber door open, the high priest of Prontera church appears and approaches the young man.#

High Priest: You know, Angrio...I am really jealous.
Angiro: Why?
High Priest: You seem to be a better story-teller as days go by.
Angiro: Haha. You are embarrassing me.
High Priest: No I am serious. Before I found you that day, I use to tell stories to the kids around here. For some reason they all fall asleep when I do tell them stories. Unlike me, you seem to have some kind of power that attracts anyone around you.
Angiro: I am sure you did well too.
High Priest: Nah, I know how I was. A boring old man...haha! -looks at clock- Wow it is late. Maybe you should take some rest and prepare for tomorrow.
Angiro: I most certainly will, High Priest.
High Priest: Alright. I am going to take my leave. See you later.
Angiro: See you.

#High Priest enters his own room and closed the door. The church is now empty and silent#

Angiro(sits down, aside): I am Angiro Zenjin. Sometimes, I am jealous too. Jealous of what? Jealous of all the kids who have parents. I would like to know who my parents are, or at least, where I came from. I seem to know everyone so well, yet I don't have a clue about who I am. It really troubles me sometimes. -stands up- Well, I certainly need some rest myself, or I won't have enough energy for tomorrow.

- Fade as Angiro walks out of Prontera Church-

Nothing much to say, we got our first character up! I bet you want to know who are those people that are chasing the dark woman and who the dark woman really is. But, you will have to stay tuned for the story to find out!
