Chapter One: Burning of Sumera
--
My fears escalated into a grim reality. From a precipice above Sumera, I saw my once beautiful town falling to ruin...all because of our work...our mission. Did I deserve to lose it all for this? Those Tolbi cowards...I swear it...
I climbed down the cliff slowly, and fought back the urge to let myself fall. I mean, was it worth seeing my family dead? Was it worth never seeing Jenna's face again? These thoughts brought me close to tears. I knew I had to go on. Sumera might hold some survivors... And I prayed that this'd be the case. As I descended, I finally touched down on solid ground. I ran towards Sumera, stumbled, and fell to my knees. I couldn't do a damn thing...not one damn thing. Unless...if Jenna was alive...I'd know. I felt her warmth in my heart, so I stood up...and ran to Sumera's gate. The bodies of the town's guards lay at the entrance. I was in shock...I bent down to remove one of the guards's helmet. Isaac...he was dead. So I was the last surviving Valean from the Golden Age...
I blasted down the gate, and ran into the downtown area of Sumera. I could hear a voice calling me from the depths of one of the flaming buildings. I swear it...it was Jenna's voice. A voice so warm and sweet could not have been that easily forgotten. I broke down the door to enter the room where Jenna was sitting in the corner. She looked at me with cold, hazy eyes. She wouldn't make it, even if I carried her out. I was getting tired too...the smoke was taking it's toll. Jenna asked me to make a promise before she died...to never forget her, the mission, or Sumera. As tears crept to my eyes, I gave a dim smile and hugged her. Why me? Why would this happen to my beloved Jenna?
She told me to go...and then she fell limp. I screamed for a few minutes before letting her go. I had to leave, or else I would die as well. I ran from the building, from my memories, from this whole old life...but my mission would remain forever. To stop the evil of Tolbi. To avenge my beloved Jenna. To avenge Sumera. And to never forget the smile Jenna gave me as she died.
So where to go now? I supposed that I couldn't do this alone...so my adventure begins anew...I'm off to the town of Orimali, which is north of Vale. There, I will scout for new teammates...to save the world with.
