All right, this would have been up earlier if my ISP wasn't such a bitch.
Seriously, no one should use Verizon Online.

Two years have passed since Hikusaak and his council determined the fates of two young boys. Not far away from that very council room, one of the boys stood in a nursery, looking out of a window wistfully. His brown eyes scanned the horizon, although he wasn't really thinking about the scenery. His light brown hair fluttered in the breeze. His pale blue robes were carefully pressed, although he was aware of the fact that that would not remain so for long. Suddenly, a voice broke the boy out of his thoughts.
"Hey Sas!"
Sasarai smiled to himself, and turned around to see his best friend standing in the doorway. He was a boy of about four, with the same brown eyes and hair as Sasarai. His style of robes were similar, although of a green hue rather than blue. They have been friends ever since they could remember, and treated each other like brothers. Sasarai let out a big "Hey Luc!" and rushed over to his friend.
"Well," Luc said with a big smile on his face "what would you like to do?"
"I dunno, wanna play Aronia?" Sasarai responded.
"Ok, but I get to be Hikusaak this time!"
"No way, you're ALWAYS Hikusaak!"
"I am not!"
"Are too"
"Yeah, well, Aronia is a stupid game anyways" Luc said with a pout.
Sasarai sighed. He didn't want his best friend to be mad at him, even if he was being stubborn. "Ok, fine, I'll be the Evil King this time, but next time we play I get to be Hikusaak, ok?" he said, even though he was pretty sure he'd end up being the Evil King again anyways. Luc's eyes lit up and he smiled as he exclaimed, "Thanks Sas, you're the greatest buddy a guy could ever have."
------------------
In the conference room, another meeting of bishops was taking place. Yet again, Hikusaak was at its head, and after performing all the necessary rites he called the council to order. "Now, who would be so kind as to update me on the seals? Bishop Kelb?"
Bishop Kelb stood up, and exclaimed, "The seals both show an amazing aptitude for magic. Not only do they surpass many of their age in their studies, even some of our lower-ranked priests can't handle magic as well as they can. However."
"However? What could possibly be wrong with them?" Hikusaak enquired.
"Well," Kelb said, "we fear they are becoming too close of friends. If they were to become too close, and one of them lost faith in Harmonia, both of their minds could be poisoned. Therefore, we bishops feel it would be best to separate them before anything serious were to develop. We only await your approval, Lord Hikusaak." Hikusaak thought for a moment, during which the council chamber was dead silent. Finally, he rose and proclaimed, "I understand. Although it may seem cruel, we need to separate them for the good of Harmonia. Now that that is settled, lets move onto the subject of taxation for third class citizens.."
------------------------
"No! I won't ever stop being friends with Luc! I hate you!"
Sasarai awoke with a start. It was ten years since he last saw Luc, although he could barely remember him. In fact, he wasn't even sure he existed. Whenever he would ask one of the bishops how Luc was doing, they would all tell him that no such person existed. But that doesn't matter now. What mattered now was that he started getting ready for the Ceremony of the Earth Rune, in which he would be presented with the True Earth Rune and the title of Bishop! Sasarai got out of bed and started to get dressed, putting a pale blue robe over his white shirt and pants. He put on his boots and started looking for his hat. After several moments of searching for it, he still could not find it. His mouth turned into a frown, and his brown eyes looked malevolently at the door to his room. He then called out to his servant, hoping he would know where it was.
"Dios! Can you come in here?" And with that, a lanky boy of about eleven rushed into the room. He had short blonde hair and brown eyes. However, his most interesting facial characteristic was his nose. Oddly enough, his family always prided themselves on their huge noses, and Dios was no exception. He was from a noble's family, and was sent to serve Sasarai in accordance with the custom of the times, in which the first son went to serve a bishop. Now, he asked Sasarai calmly how he could be of service. Sasarai responded with "Dios, I hate to bother you with such a trivial thing, but have you seen my hat? I don't know how something that big managed to get lost."
"My lord, I gave it to the maid for cleaning yesterday. I shall go retrieve it immediately."
"See that you do, and Dios?"
"Yes, my lord?"
Sasarai smiled at his friend, and said to him "Lets hope this ceremony isn't too boring, shall we?"
-------------------
Ooh, look at that cliffhanger. Anyways, I wasn't sure what color Dios's eyes were, and I was too lazy to go turn on Suikoden 3 just to check. If anyone really cares enough to correct me on the color, I'll change it.
