Cantrone Academy
"Master Leitbur, may I come in?" asked a servant.
"You may, replied the lord, what is it?"
The servant answered with a bit of worry in his voice.
"I'm very sorry to inform you that Sir Gaff Vorick and his wife, Lady Sisteena were killed
by Ordalian bounty hunters."
"Their corpse were found near the senior training grounds."
"What shall we do me lord?"
Leitbur stood there and shuddered at his servant's words.
'So they couldn't make it... Rest in peace Vorick...'
He stormed out of his chambers and cried.
"Alert the scouting party and bring me my war bow! Make sure that all students stay within the premises of the academy
and tell the scouts to meet me at there, armed."
The corpse of a dead woman lay lifeless outside the school walls. Master Leitbur stood there and carefully
examined the body. She was a brunette with soft white skin, dressed in clean attire and judging by her blue satin robe
she was wearing, she was a noble. The woman died a painless instant death, an arrow wound to her neck.
'Sisteena... They'll pay for this...' his mind shouted at the lifeless body.
Next to her was an unconscious boy roughly about 9 years old. The lad was dressed in simple, warm tunic and had
short auburn hair. On his buckle, he carried a short knife with a rare 13th zodiac sign engraved into the hilt.
'Could this be. Gafgarion?' the lord checked for any signs of life left within the boy.
He was alive. No matter where they searched, they couldn't find the body of Gaff Vorick.
Lord Leitbur wondered in deep thoughts of the possibilities.
'Is it possible that the hunters took him back to Ordalia? or is he still here in Ivalice?'
One of his scout dared to interrupt his master's long silence.
"What shall we do with the boy me lord?"
After moments of thinking, he answered his scout slightly irritated by his intrusion.
"I have decided to take him in. He will study in my academy with the rest of the students."
"Now, carry him to the boy's dormitory."
The clumsy scout carried the boy on his back and took him inside.
'He will make an excellent friend for my son Rantoul' he thought in his own silence.
Genevieve was given a quiet funeral and Gafgarion was adopted by Leitbur and studied at Cantrone Academy.
He remembered nothing of his past life and trained himself under the guidance of Lord Leitbur.
Gafgarion became half brother to Leitbur's son Rantoul who he sees as his ultimate rival.
As for his father? He was taken back to Ordalia and was imprisoned because he was framed to have
committed treason against the crown. This is the story of Gafgarion's past life, during the 50 year war...
Author's note
Ok. Looks like a easy start.
They don't seem to have many fics on my fav character Gaf man~!
So I decided to write one myself. Gafgarion is actually from Ordalia in my fic.
During the 50 year war, the leader of Ordalia's Royal Dragoons committed treason and framed it on
Gaff Vorick a sub leader among Firewall which is an army of knights banded by civilians.
Check out this site for information on Ordalia. Trust me. It's worth it.
http://www.returnergames.com/worldbooks/fft/ordalia.html
Although I had some inform me that the site sometimes doesn't work... ^^;; where they're living.
Why do I like Gafgarion you ask? because he is cool, nice armour, effective in battle, his abilities!!!
One side effect... He is old...
Although in my fic he is young. Eliminating the "old" barrier.
But not many people are a big fan of him. Wonder why?...
Anyways. hope you enjoyed the prologue because chapter 1 isn't very far from finish. ^^
As a character producer... It is my duty to give characters historical background.
Baron Leitbur
Age:36
Job:Headmaster, ex-Knight captain
A retired knight captain who won many victories for the crown and country.
His onslaught was feared by many knights in battlefields. At times Leitbur's
ambush party turned the battle tides towards their enemies as their stealth and strategies
caught many enemies off guard. But due to a tragic accident, his whole party were engulfed
in enemy traps and he barely escaped with a loss of arm.
This was vital for the knight as he couldn't wield a sword, and so his majesty offered him
a retirement to him. After that, he set up a Academy for young apprentices and taught many
students there. He was a good friend to Vorick and Sisteena whom he once loved.
Leitbur has adopted Gafgarion as his parents were known to be deceased.
Gaff Vorick
Age:32
Job:Knight Captain
Was the sub leader in Firewall ranks. He and Leitbur grew up together
back when they were young. Although they oppose each other they were still
good friends and tried their best to avoid meaningless battles.
Both Vorick and Leitbur were in love with Sisteena, but only Vorick
married her and so the love triangle was shattered.
Since then, they haven't been in contact for 10 years.
Vorick requested Leitbur for help when he was framed for treason and
were hunted by bounty hunters from Ordalia. He was captured in Ivalician
lands and his wife was killed during the struggle.
(Boy) Gaff Gafgarion
Age:9
Job:Student/squire
After losing his mother during a escape, he lost memories of his past life in Ordalia.
He is taken in by Baron Leitbur his father's good friend and train in the academy.
Gafgarion soon learns what had happened to his birth mother.
He finds it difficult to express what he feels.
He trusts no one and relies only on himself. This makes him strong and an independant
student. He is jealous of Rantoul because he is loved by many and considers him to
be his ultimate rival.
(Boy)Rantoul (Doesn't have a last name yet...)
Age:9
Job:Student/squire
Leitbur's only son. He has a strong sense of justice. When he first met Gafgarion
he tried his best to be a good friend to him. But the death of Gafgarion's mother
makes it more difficult for him to reach Gafgarion's friendship.
He only hates Gafgarion because he is hated by him.
As they grow, they become rivals and cherish and chance they have to fight in a
duel.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you've read Seravy's fanfic called Born to fight you should know who Rantoul is.
I have permission to use Seravy's character. This somehow links Born to fight with Innocent Darkside.
This story concentrates on Gafgarion's past life during 50 year war.
It makes him who he is in the original FFT. Please send me lots and lots of reviews!
I'm still a newbie, and need lots of good advices from readers like yourselves.
Well. Please look forward to my future works! ^.^
And my other work Simon Revealed.
PS: Can't help the spelling mistakes right at the moment.
It's because this is a new laptop and they haven't installed Microsoft office.
Those fools wanted to charge me $300 for it, and I can do it for free as soon as my
friend gets back from his holiday trip in Korea. He should have Microsoft office.
If you have any other alternative software I can download, contact me.
Thanks readers! ^^^
