Author notes: Well, it's AU (culturally) and has lots of OOC. The plot is an 180º change of the 'real' FFVIII story. This is a long story so expect some chapters, however if you don't review I'm not going to waste my time finishing it. Tell me what do you think about it. If you like it, say so. Flame if you must, though I prefer criticism that allow me to amend my writing. It's up to you.

Sons of Elder Guardians by Azure knight

Prologue.

My name is Guillon and this is the story of my son. A man who searched love all his life without knowing it. A man who had everything and was ready to throw it all away for a thing he claimed did not exist in this world. Sometimes life takes strange paths and strange ways of telling you how wrong you are. But you must always follow your heart, because your head lies to you and your body betrays you. Only your heart tells you the truth.

Chapter 1: The beginning.

All begun a long ago in Esthar. It's king, Sea 10th of Loire and his wife Queen Aquarela gave birth to a beautiful boy named Laguna. Being their only child, the future of the kingdom depended of him. Therefore he had powerful knights protecting him: Sir Seagill and Sir Ward II, becoming his best friends their sons Kiros and Ward. But the joy and the peace brought by the baby prince only last three years, until the attack of Sorceress Adel. Being not prepared to a war, the kingdom easily fell. All the royal family was killed, except little prince Laguna and his friends who were saved at the last minute by Sir Seagill and sent to Galbadia, being raised by General Caraway along with his daughter Julia. Their marriage was arranged a few years later and a beautiful baby was born. They called him Sea 11th.

When prince Laguna turned twenty-seven, he decided it was time to get back is kingdom. But his first attempt failed and he ended up in a faraway province of Galbadia named Winhil. When his knight Sir Kiros Seagill met him there he found him with a simple, mysterious and beautiful woman named Raine and a cute little girl named Ellone. Remembering the Prince of his kingdom, duty and wife, Kiros dragged Laguna out of that town. And this time prince Laguna, helped by some monarchist rebels did imprisoned Sorceress Adel and became king of Esthar with the again pregnant Queen Julia by his side, along with his son Sea and his truthful knights Sir Kiros and Sir Ward III.

Through the last years, he has ruled in peace and the country grows on prosperity. His wife, queen Julia, died 10 years ago in a carriage accident leaving the king with a 13 years old boy, another 3 year old boy and the two 7 year old twins: a boy with auburn hair (witch nobody knows where he got it because both his mother and his father had it black) and beautiful smoky blue eyes and Rinoa who had her father's spirit and positivism and was very spoiled because she was the only female of the royal family. Esthar had been quiet in its corner and didn't give much care about the Union. The Union was a council, resident in Delling city, kingdom of Galbadia, ruled by a Sorceress, being created at the end of the 1st Sorceress War to prevent what had happened to Esthar but it was also the one who stopped the execution of Sorceress Adel. Therefore the relationships between the king Laguna and the Union council weren't the best, which isolated Esthar from the rest of the kingdoms of the Union, that is, the rest of the world. The Council was mainly formed by the ambassadors of the kingdoms, powerful War Lords, all the Mages in the world, a representant of Balamb, Galbadia and Trabia Gardens knights' schools, Shumi Tribe and Cavalry orders.

The most influent people were always the Mages, since the ruler of the council was a Sorceress or a Wizard and the Mages were the most rich and feared people of the world. The rode dragons, they had non-human guardians and all the slaves and knights they wanted. The beautiful and productive lands were theirs. They also were said they had the most beautiful specimens of all humankind, specially the gorgeous lord Sullen, a young wizard son of one of the sisters who controlled the time and space keys: the Elder Queen Tellian. Tellian besides being one of the two Elder Guardians was also the actual ruler of the council and Lord Sullen was already being pointed the next one.

The other Elder Queen lived in a hidden castle in Island closest To Hell. It was spoken that she also had a beautiful son but nobody could ever confirm or deny that information, because contrarily to her sister she almost never left her island. And this is where our story really begun.
