A/N: This is just a Prologue sorta thing, and that's why it's so short, if
you're wondering. ^^ Trust me, the first chapter will be much, much
longer!. Oh yeah, and it'll also explain what's going on, heh.
Diclamer: I don't own Suikoden, or anyone in any of the games. I'm just a poor, lost soul that dreams of writing fanfiction for all the fans. If you can't stand that. then. well. Too bad! *sticks tongue out* (blah.blah. blah, you should know the rest)
"It was cold, dark and raining that night. The drops felt like giant golfballs on my tired body, but I knew I had to press on. I looked up at the sky many times that night, for what was happening in the sky was something of my doing."
A young woman struggled through a dangerous night of rain and wind, making her way to Budehuc Castle. She had heard that people could be protected there, whoever they were, and that was exactly what she needed at this point in time. Protection from everyone, and everything.
She pulled her cloak closer around her body, in hope that she would find better warmth, but no such luck, though it did seem to drown out the thunderous rain.
Without even feeling or knowing, the woman suddenly fell to the ground in a heap. Her body wouldn't go on, though her brain urged it to.
She kept telling herself "Just a little farther. Come on. I can do it. Once I get there, I'll have a nice, warm bed to sleep in as long as I want. Come on!" She repeated this over and over again, until finally her body had gained a small bit of confidence and she was able to get up.
Forcing herself, she struggled to the gates of Budehuc in an hour, which would have taken just ten minutes in her usual strength. She smiled to herself, and finally collapsed for good. "Thank you. That's all I wanted. Thank you." She heard faint sounds of yelling, but at that moment, all she cared about was sleep.
