Farewell to Reality
Chapter 2 The World of Illusions
By K-chan (a member of Pink Door Inc) I wrote a long disclaimer in the first chapter so this one will be short. I do not own any of the Harvest Moon: Back to Nature characters used in this story. ********************************************************* 'Wake up... warriors from another world...' Cliff sat up and looked around. Ann, Gray, Karen, and Rick were sitting up as well. "Did you hear that?" Ann asked as she stood up. "Yeah... do you think we were just hearing things?" Rick asked. 'Warriors... why have you come...? What is your purpose?' "Guess not..." Rick murmured. "We are searching for someone," Karen stated as she glanced around uneasily. 'I see... don't bother looking for me. You can never see me no matter how hard you try, for my body has been sealed away long ago when I came to do the same as you. You mustn't fail as I have... fight to save the one you love...' "Who are you?" Ann asked. '... My name is Beth and I was once in love with a farmer and he was in love with me...' "What happened?" 'A girl in the town soon became angry... he was ruining her plan... she controlled all of the area except for him... she tried a many times to seduce him but to no avail. His heart was truly mine...' "And then what happened?" 'She came to his house in the middle of the night... it was summer yet the snow fell down... it covered his house with the pearly white gleam... there was an explosion as I was coming to meet him so I rushed up there... but when I got there he was gone and so was his farm... everything except a pendant... I picked it up and the next thing I knew I had been dragged here... I tried to save him, but it was two late... I arrived in time to see him die then my body was sealed away and my soul left to wander... and I have been stuck here ever since...' "Hey... we're covered in snow... I wasn't paying attention, but I guess it was snowing when we arrived... that's odd... it's not even winter..." Karen stated as she brushed the snow from her long hair. "Oh, that sounds just like a tragic love story..." Ann stated as she wiped tears from her blue eyes. 'I guess it does, doesn't it? Like a scene from an old romance novel...' "Where are we?" Cliff asked. 'You have entered the world of illusions... the only way to survive is to see past the falsities and realize the truth... now you must leave this cursed place, the Cathedral of Lost Souls and travel to the west... there is a forest there where you can receive help... you must hurry!' "Before we go, I have one more question...what was the girl's name?" Cliff asked. "What does that matter? She's probably dead by now!" Ann stated. "What was her name?" Cliff asked again. 'Her name... her name was Potpourri.' Everyone in the group gasped. ********************************************************* END CHAPTER 2 Here's the second chapter. Can't you tell I really hate Potpourri? Well, thanks for reading!
