The Thoughts Of The Hero: Chapter Two
I actually never thought I'd be writing a second part to this, but I got the urge and some inspiration, so I figured it would be something to do while bored. Hence, we now have part two.
THE SETTING
David, the hero, set out from the newly rebuilt Granseal to meet the God Volcanon. Peter of Bedoe, a legendary phoenix, helped him get there, facing a few challenges and a hobgoblin. Then, Volcanon rejected the humans and, dejectedly, Peter and David went to Polca to get a raft and found it was controlled by devils. After defeating them, they got two new fighting allies (for a total force of eleven with Peter and Mae the Ranger joining up as well as Luke the Birdman and Gerhalt the Wolfman) and were accompanied by a blind boy with amnesia, Oddler. As the raft floats down the river towards Hassan, the Shining Force's leader reflects on the events since landing on Parmecia.
--------------------------------------------------------------
So much time has passed since I and the rest of Granseal arrived on Parmecia. I've fought more and more monsters that all seem bent on destroying me and the people I travel with. But why? Why are they all so single-minded?
Now even a god has rejected me. The great Vocanon has decided that humans aren't worthy of his protection, and this morries me. Without his protection, how can anyone possibly stand against the devil king that was unsealed? Volcanon said that humans unsealed him, and humans have to fix the problem. But how do we do this?
Wait, we? If anything, it should be Slade and I alone. He stole the jewels, but I have both of them firmly attached to my neck now. How this happened, I don't know. What I do know is that the rest of my companions seem to enjoy travleing with me and fighting by my side. Even Oddler, the blind kid, seems to be enjoying his time with us. But still... I can't believe I'm even fighting these battles. I just was a pupil of Sir Astral a year and some months ago. Now I'm the leader of a full-blown fighting force. A force that I control. Do I really have the authority to do this? Well, I don't know. But everyone trusts me to do it, so I guess I must.
Myself, Sarah, Chester, Jaha, Kazin, Slade, Kiwi, Mae, Peter, Gerhalt, and Luke... eleven fighters. I wonder if there will be many more that will join the group? This raft is really not well suited to doing this, carrying around so many members. But, for now, it will suffice. We need something bigger though. Oh well... until then, I guess I'll just sit here and think.
Night is falling now, just like so many nights past. I still can't believe all that's happened. A devil king is unsealed, Granseal is destroyed, a god turns his back on humans, and somewhere in all of this a boy and his friends are fighting the evil. Never would have guessed it... but it's now my job to make sure we all survive. I stand by my promises to myself... I will do what it takes to help humanity reseal Zeon. He is responsible for the destruction of Granseal, the loss of Princess Ellis, and all the lives lost in the fall. I promised myself that I would find her or find out what happened to her and, now with my new friends to help us, I think we'll do fine.
Wait, something is happening... the raft stopped. Oddler and Peter are looking out and... oh no... what the hell is that?! It looks like a gigantic octopus! It doesn't look like it's just going to sit there... time to go to battle!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Nice place to stop it, no? Right before the Kraken's assault! So... will there be a part three? I don't know... but if there will be one, it won't take nearly so long for it to arrive!
