Prologue
The old are the foundations of the new. These are the laws that always apply in daily life. But what would happen if fate comes by and "plays" with the old world against the new world. Wouldn't that change everything? Would the saying "out with the old and in with the new" would become a load of nonsense. We'll see as the story begins…
Chapter 1
Kain's message
Old world……….
It was a dark and stormy night. Thunder and lightning crashed relentlessly in the night sky. The raindrop pounds every object it can see. The trees are drenched with water and the bolts of furious lightning incinerate some. The animals of the wild finds shelter in caves, underground tunnels or just under the tree if they can't find a simple shelter. Innocent humans lived in small houses as they brace for an all night storm. Fearing for the worse of floods they pray to their gods for safety. But stormy rains won't shake the foundation of one powerful shelter, a castle. The Baron castle is still as majestic even a dark storm. Its powerful interior and exterior is what made the castle so powerful. Cecil is the king of Baron. He and a group of trusted allies defeated the evil that has threatened their world. With Queen Rosa on his side and many trusted allies in his arsenal. Baron is the only strongest kingdom in the known world.
Cecil is sleeping soundly with his wife on the royal bed. The rain continues. The raindrops can be heard through the glass window. Suddenly three of his servants have entered their majesty's room. The racket has awakened Cecil. His servants bowed gracefully to show respect and apology.
"Your majesty I'm sorry for the disturbance but we have troubling news," said the messenger.
"Go on, continue", said Cecil.
One of the servants presented a scroll. He unwrapped the paper and reads the message aloud,
"King Cecil, you must meet me at the Chocobo forest which is located east of Baron, there is something that might pose a threat for your kingdom and possibly our world. You must come alone."
-Kain
Cecil replied simply in a calm manner, "I see."
"What shall we do, my lord?" the servant asked.
"Prepare my Chocobo at once!!" Cecil announced his orders with an unwavering strict voice.
His servants obeyed his order and left the room to prepare his majesty for his journey. Cecil left the room and headed to the armory where he will arm himself with the same armor and weapon used when he have fought his powerful enemies. Three of his advisors stand before the king.
One of the advisors came to him and begged him in a whiny tone of voice, "Your majesty, you shouldn't come! Going outside by yourself is foolish!"
"He is right, you might be targeted by assassins and many mercenaries!" He added.
"If you're going please take as many soldiers as you wish."
Cecil ignored the wise words of the advisors. Instead he listened to his own heart and trusted his judgment. "I'm sorry, but I must attend to this matter by myself. As the king of Baron, it is my duty to stop the evil that's lurking in this world. Years ago I have destroyed the evil that lurked within this kingdom and saved the world from catastrophe. But now the battle between the Righteous against the Wicked will begin anew."
Cecil have finished gathering his equipment, and left the armory. Leaving his advisors by themselves.
"He's such a fool."
"Reckless, he's not fit to be king." He added.
All three huddled together and laughed as they continue to discuss their business…
The gates of the castle have opened. Cecil rides his Chocobo as he gallops through the dark and stormy night………
NEW WORLD…
Tifa suddenly awakened from her sleep. It was 4:30 in the morning. She now lives with Cloud in a house in Nibelheim.
She whispers to herself the dream she just seen, "That was a weird dream."
Cloud opened his eyes. He sleeps next to Tifa, "What's bugging you honey? Did you have a nightmare?" he asked.
"No, not really. Its odd, as if I was there." she replied.
Cloud was puzzled, he kissed Tifa in the cheek and went back to sleep. "Tifa its just a dream, don't worry about it and go back to sleep."
Tifa was sure that the dream was real, but why I feel so odd she thought. She never experiences this kind of feeling before. She slowly lies down and embraced Cloud with her arms and fall asleep. Suddenly a "WARK" was heard from the outside, Tifa suddenly leaves the bed and went outside their house. The sound of the Chocobo continues to echo from outside of town. She went bravely followed the sound of the Chocobo. She enters the forest where the sound was last heard.
Tifa's nerves are shaken. She wasn't sure what she was doing. Following a chocobo in the middle of the night was stupid she thought. A sudden clap of thunder erupts from the night sky. Rain was starting to pour unexpectedly. Tifa's nightgown was now soaked with rain.
Tifa is puzzled at the sudden change of weather, "I didn't expect any rain!"
She realized that this was the same atmosphere like the storm in her dream. Confusion and uncertainty is the only thing in her mind.
"What's going on?" She screamed.
Suddenly a man on a chocobo appeared before her. Tifa was surprised. Sudden lightning flashed sky for a mere second which illuminated the dark forest. She saw a sudden glimpse of the man. It was Cecil himself…
Tifa was surprised as she sees a sudden glimpse of the man's true identity.
"Its him. That man from my dream!" Tifa whispers as the rain continues to pelt on her soaked withered nightgown.
A voice suddenly reveals itself from the shadows. It was Kain.
"I'm glad that you arrived your majesty." He draws his spear; his thirst for blood has risen.
Tifa was overwhelmed with confusion…
