There's a forest in the middle of the world...one no one ever visited. legend has it that evil things are inside. The forest was so big it would take you atleast 2 days to travel through it. It is said to be deserted...mostly because no one was brave enough to venture into it. That all changed one day...when a boy came in riding on a chocobo.

Many creatures dwell here...mostly chocobos and moogles. moogles sleep inside the trees and the chocobos roam free. Free of the human race...until one day.

It was a night like any other...very beautiful and very quiet. the creatures slept in silance...then came a scream. All the chocobos reared their heads and the moogles opened the windows. A lone chocobo came riding into a clearing...with a six year old boy on it's back. The chocobo looked strained, burnt, and bruised and seemed like it had come on a long journey. Its mission...to save the boy...and so it seems...has accomplished.

All the creatures in the forest started to gather around as the lone chocobo dropped there. Mog, the wisest moogle in the forest came waddling up. He turned to the other creatures...and shook his head in dispair. The lone chocobo had died...but he died doing something that made him a hero. And though it may be hard to beleive...since chocobos cant smile...it died smiling.

Thats when mog took responsibility for the boy...he did it for the chocobo. He raised him like any human boy...but special in everyway. The boy was taught fighting techiniches...how to be wise...and even magic. The moogles new the human language so that was no hardship for him. The boy was raised with loving and care, and he made many friends. Mog knew that had to end one day, though, because he knew the boy was very special...and didn't keep the fact from the boy that there was much evil in the world. The boy learned everything from history to planting a flower. Thats when Mog knew...one day...that the boy had to leave...and see the world...go on his own adventure...his own journey...
