I know they actually don't talk..but in here they do…kind of…you'll see! Please Review and no flames!!!! I'm working hard on this!

Chapter 1 – The Meager

It was a year before Princess Ovelia was kidnapped; Delita and I attended a Military Academy together. It was a class of eight; two students were learning to be Chemists, and the other four were still Squires, and then there was Delita and I.

Delita's name appears for first time a year before the lion War Broke out. Many Soldiers who returned from the war had no jobs, little money, and even less loyalty to the crown. Many became thieves and rebels plotting rebellion against the royal family.

At that time, Robbery and Murder were commonplace in Ivalice. Many heroes and Wizards came out of there and Gariland was no exception.

At the military auditorium, all of the cadets stood around talking. I over heard some of the squires talking. A male cadet, whom had long brown hair in a loose pony tale said,

"I hear another wagon bound for Igros was attacked." His name was Allen. A female chemist with long blonde hair, name Hoshi, turned and said,

"Must have been the Death Corps…" I turned towards Delita, whom had been listening also. He placed his hand under chin and thought about the subject for a moment.

"Something's starting…know anything Delita? He chuckled and looked up at me. He shrugged and replied,

"No…But I can guess." I was a curious…what was he thinking?

"What do you mean," I asked, Delita turned to me and began,

"Prince Larg's coming to town." I needed and sighed.

"Prince Larg? Why?"

"Not only Larg, but Marquis Elmdor of Limberry, too!" My eyes widened at this news. That wasn't going to end well, that much I knew.

"That's News! It's not an official visit is it?" I asked. Some of the other Cadets became very interested in it, and a few became worried.

"There are danger zones everywhere in Ivalice. The Hokuten Knights are in full operation, but suffering from shortage of men." I sighed again and shook my head.

"So they need us cadets."

"Everyone, fall in," a voice from outside yelled. All of us Cadets got into rows and stood at attention. There were two rows of four as a Hokuten Knight walked to the head of the class and called our attention. "You have a mission!" he yelled.

"As you know, barbarians are rapidly increasing here in Gallionne. The traitorous Death Corps detest the royal family. We cannot over look them. We will begin exterminating these traitors, by order of our Master. Larg's Knights stationed at Igros and help guard it."

A female knight walked in and talked to the Hokuten Knight as he finished our mission briefing. He clenched his fists and growled slightly when the Knight left. The Hokuten knight looked at all of us, slowly panning the room with a sigh.

"Cadets, ready your swords! A gang of tortured thieves is trying to sneak into this town; we'll begin preparations now to keep them out of town! Come with me" He threw his arm out straightened his back, smirking. "This is the front line of operations! That's all! Prepare immediately!" All of us turned and left, getting ready for the fight.

We found the thieves at Magic City Garland. There wasn't too bad. I took with me Four Cadets and Delita. Hoshi and Keith were both chemists, while Allen and Jenny were both Squires.

As I scanned the battle field, we had a total of 5 enemies. They were looting and destroying the part of town we were in currently. I shook my head and the leader of them stepped forward, laughing at us.

"What's this? Just a bunch of kids! What luck! Okay, all we have to do is kill these kids! Then we can escape!" he laughed again at us. "Don't you worry! We'll kill every one of you!" everyone with his little group laughed along, and one threw a rock towards us, it missed Allen, but started the battle.

Delita and the leader were the first to clash swords. Their swords would try to attack one, but the other would block it. Delita growled and yelled over his shoulder,

"Ramza, watch out! Don't rush them!" I was so arrogant back in those days of being in the academy, and at that battle, it had gotten the better of me.

"Don't patronize me, Delita! I'm also a Beoulve, "I yelled, and charged one of the enemy Squires who swung a sword at me. Our swords clashed and Allen ran up and slashed him with his Broad sword. Hoshi, our female chemist, threw a potion to Delita who had been injured in the shoulder from the enemy thief.

"Beoulve?! THE Beoulve family?! So, you must be cadets from the military academy! Snot-nosed little nobles!!" I growled as I swung my sword hard at him, catching him off guard as he backed up against the wall. The enemy's Chemist threw a potion to him, making me growl again.

"Silence! Surrender or die in obscurity!!" He laughed at me. I got pissed. Jenny and another enemy were locked in a sword duel. Keith ran up and gave the finishing blow to an enemy Squire whom Delita had been having troubles with. Hoshi was trying to help everyone she could, but Allen had to come to her rescue a few times.

"What can a bunch of kids like you do? Buncha spoiled punks like you'll never beat us!!" the blood of the Beoulve that flowed through my veins began to boil. I tightened my grip on my sword, and Delita looked over at me and shook his head. I wish I could have been so calm like Delita used to be. I knew he was going to be a great leader one day, but today, he was just another Cadet.

Allen charged the enemy's Chemist, killing him quickly before he could use a potion to heal the wounds. A smirk crept onto his face as Allen turned and attacked another squire, helping Jenny. Both of them took down the Squire, and were healed by Keith, whom was our male Chemist. Sadly, Hoshi got knocked out, but thankfully wasn't killed; Delita had saved her from death, by reviving her and making sure she was okay.

Finally, it was down to the leader and me. Both of us had our adrenalin pumping through us like mad, and we were ready to just kill each other at a moments notice. He made the first move. The thief charged me, yelling a battle cry as he did so to slash me. I blocked it and kicked him in the stomach to get him back. He quickly retaliated and charged again, and this time broke my sword when I tried to defend. I cursed and he threw his sword aside. Now it was just like a regular street brawl.

I punched him in the face, he punched me. Delita shook his head and watched, while the others went and looted the bodies, seeing if there were any usable items or some gold. The enemy took out a dagger and stabbed me in the side. I fell back a bit. Next thing I knew, I heard a groan from the thief as Delita's sword had pierced his chest, killing him. The blood smeared on the wall as his dead body slowly slid down. Hoshi ran over and began to tend to my wound.

"Why do you continue committing acts like robbery? You wouldn't have died this way if you'd led an honest life." I said to the dead thief in front of me. Keith and Hoshi tended to everyone's wounds, helping them out as much as they could. We collected 2,500 gold, and a couple little items.

After the battle, we went into Magic City Garland and shopped for a couple things. We bought a few more potions and Phoenix downs along with a couple Antidotes, Eye Drops, Echo Screams, and Softs. While in that store, we purchased a couple new swords and a robe for Hoshi, for she decided to become a White mage. Keith had changed too. He wanted to be a Squire, so he could learn different skills, but he still could use items.

While everyone was shopping, Delita and I headed to the bar. We were under age, but we still got something to drink, but I had milk instead of an alcoholic drink. The bartender looked at me and asked if I was Ramza Beoulve. I said yes and he gave me a message from Dycedarg telling me to go home immediately! I was worried about my father. He was sick and weak, and I was worried. I gathered my troops and we all headed back to the Beoulve Residence.
