THE FIRST THOUGHTS OF THE HERO BOWIE

PS: I don't own any copyrights, and I hate the name Bowie so from henceforth, BOWIE (the hero) will be known as David (nice name, if you get it...)

SETTING...
A sea voyage made hastily. Granseal has just been destroyed and now the new Shining Force is on it's way to the mainland to start all over again. These are his thoughts as the ship is headed for the new world...

After a few hours onboard the ship headed for the new land...
--------------------------------------------------------------
So... this is what it's like, being me. I can honestly I don't really enjoy it. In the past week, I've been fighting things I did not know until today existed. Finding out that demons actually do exist, not just the slimes and rats that seem to exist here. And finding out that my homeland will never again be seen by the eyes of humans. What a time I live in... what a life.

In the span of one week, I've fought so many times it blinds my mind. Made a few new friends. Slade, Kazin, even the little Tortoise-thing Kiwi seems to be a willing companion. Made a few new enemies. Such as a devil king and a possessed King Galam. And lost the Princess of Granseal to the evil King Galam as a sacrifice to Zeon, the king of devils. And now... I'm on my way to a strange land because the devils destroyed Granseal and uncovered the seal that holds Zeon. And they intend to destroy the world...

Not on my watch. Not if I can help it.

I'm not going to stand for it. I have this jewel, which Astral has told me has to be something incredible if Galam wanted it so badly. Galam... he and the princess fell into that black hole... will I ever see them again? Will I know it's them? What will become... oh well. Too many questions right now. Right now, I have to focus on keeping myself together... right now, I need to rest.

But I can't, my mind won't let me. Because I wonder about too many things. Such as... will I ever get to avenge my homeland? What about Mr. Lemon? He didn't seem like such a bad person. Why did Galam kill him? Is he that evil? Is there another purpose to that? Why am I dwelling on that so much? Is that a premonition? Maybe. Maybe not.

What kind of a force have I assembled. So far, my companions are Sarah, Chester, Kazin, Jaha, Slade, and Kiwi. What a mutt force of ever I knew of one. But, we managed to fight off Galam's dark army, both the real soldiers and the forces of darkness. That's a good sign. I can see that I'll be fighting for a long time. Against whom else, and how? I wonder just what's in store for me and my friends? But... I have really only one concern, one promise.

I will get the Princess back. If that means killing Galam and Zeon, then by my hand I'll do it. There will be no stopping me. King Granseal is so depressed about it, it's the least I can do as a soldier to a king. But more, I have a feeling if I get her back, it will mean I've saved the world. And that's all I want to do. I'll save the world. My friends on the force will help. The force... I can't call it that. What shall I call ourselves? Hmm... The 'Light' Force, because we fight for the light? 'David's Army?' Hmm... no. 'The Shining Force... eh... maybe not. Maybe I'll just call us a fighting team, fighting for good and the Kingdom of Granseal, wherever it will be.

Now... I have to help the world. But I'll help myself. I can't do anything if I can't help on the ship. And I can't help if I can't stay awake. I guess I should sleep. Well... the world can wait a day, I think.

So, tell me whatcha think! Thanks!
