Our Story, Thus Far
This is the story of 4 warriors who brought light to a dark part of the world. The Warrior of the Wind Lyndis, the Royal Empress Sacae, the Imperial Prince Lapis, and the High Daemon Riad. The battles they faced took place over a century on a continent once known as Ryukusai, but then changed to Fedain during the 1st Imperial Emperor's reign.
This story was the tale of the last year of Lady Lyndis, a warrior born in another continent, Elibe. Upon finding a ripped map, she began to search for the other half. Her tactician, Steve, had the second half. This revealed a map of currents, which brought them to the Old Continent of Ryukusai. She journeyed on, battling various evils, and even meeting a few celebrities, such as the legendary mercenary JacenPrime, or the mysterious assasin simply known as OAK.
She found the third Katti blade, known as the Luna Katti, weapon of the moon. She carried it with her in her travels. She then found her way to the Tetra Shrine. In this shrine, she journeyed to find the mysterious metal known as Tetra, but was seperated from her group. There, she admitted her love for the tactician Steve, and managed to regroup everyone.
She then lived in the Old Continent of Ryukusai for half a year, where she became with child. Lyndis planned to name her child, no matter what gender, after her homeland - Sacae.
During this time, Lord Eliwood of Pherae and Lord Hector of Ostia heard alarming rumors of weapons being built on the island of Valor, or the "Dread Isle" as it was more commonly known. They decided to speak with Lord Pent on the matter, and retrieve two of the legendary weapons, Armads and Durandal. During their stay, however, the castle was attacked.
So began the "Battle of Etruia" where for the first time, Etruia's defense was penetrated by an unknown enemy. In the middle of the battle, Eliwood and Hector left to find Martine, sister of the Master Tactician, Stephen. Martine seemed to have skills similar to Steve's, defeated the enemy easily.
Six months passed after the battle. Lyndis and her husband, Steve, have fleed the Old Continent of Ryukusai when they were hunted, as now, an Emperor reigns supreme. This Emperor plans on taking Elibe, starting with the Dragons Gate.
This Emperors name, is Nergal.
Lyn has left her friends, and her daughter, behind to reach Elibe, and hopefully convince Eliwood and Hector to assist her, as the ones who fought with her are living on the Old Continent of Ryukusai.
None know of this. A battle that is forever forgotten in History.
Hector sat alone, in a small, stone room, lined with bookcases. He was looking out a large window when he heard a knock.
"Come in." he said.
His close friend, Marquess Pherae, and a woman in a green cloak that covered her face both greeted him as they walked in.
"Hector." Eliwood said. "We need to talk."
"Before we talk, Eliwood, who is this woman? Why does she need to hide her face?" Hector asked.
"You're right." the woman said. "I don't need to hide here." The voice sounded oddly familiar to Hector. The woman raised her cloak as Hector saw very familiar features.
Soft looking skin.
Rosy cheecks.
Smiling.
Light green eyes.
Viridian hair.
"Lyn? Is that really you?" Hector said.
"Yes Hector. It's good to see you to." Lyn said with a smile.
"Wow. How long has it been. A year? Two years?"
"Seemed like a decade or two, but actually a year and a half." said Lyn. "But we must get to more. . . serious business."
"Yes, you're right." Eliwood said solemnly.
"I'm listening." said Hector tersely.
"All right. When I was gone. . . I was on another continent across the sea. When I came back. . . it was because I was forced out by an Emperor that took power while I was on a small island. But before I left, I found out about the plans that this Emperor had."
"What are they? Spit it out." Said Hector. He was really getting tired of dancing around the subject.
"He wants to take over Elibe. He's starting with the Dread Isle, and then is going to all of the countries." Lyn said. She then got on one knee.
"So, Marquess Ostia, may I please request for troops to be deployed at the Dread Isle?" she asked him, looking up hopefully.
"Why not? I'll go with you. Does Steve happen to be with you?" Hector asked?
"He's already at the Dread Isle." Lyn replied.
The eyes quiver, what it see's grows dark. But light comes back to it. It is gray and raining. The eyes look at the surrondings. It seems that people are on a beach. There are five that stand out, the others are just soldiers. The five that stand out seem to be brightly colored. Three men and two woman. One woman is wearing green, the other is wearing light purple. One of the men wore green, another wore blue, and another, red.
"So, that is your sister, Steve?" Lyn asked. "You didn't tell me you had a sister."
"You never asked." Steve said coyly.
"So," Hector said, looking out at the grey waters. "What are we waiting for?"
"Ships." Steve said.
"What kind of ships?" Hector asked jokingly, already knowing the answer.
"Battleships." Steve said.
The eyes quiver again, what it see's, vanishes. Light returns to it. But before the light comes, the eyes are splattered red with blood. The eyes look at the surrondings. There is fighting! Warriors jumping of ships, Snipers attacking from ships! The soldiers from earlier are getting slaughtered!
There are the two women.
One of the women are crying, kicking, screaming for help, as she is being dragged by her enemy into their boat. The other woman looks at the man in red and the man in blue.
"Run!" she says.
The two men hear the truth and desperation in her voice as they begin to retreat.
The woman pulls out a long sword.
A blazing woman of fire appears behind, as a man in green directs both of the women.
A darkness appears again.
It stands tall on a ship, a small, obsidian jewel in its hands.
A beast comes, a massive dragon of dark flames, bringing death and fire.
The woman of fire attacks it with all of her might.
It does nothing to the dragon.
The dragon attacks the man in green, killing him mercissly as the woman in green collapses, screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Noooooo!!!!!!!!!"
The woman in green is the last one who stood against the army. She unsheathes a short sword from her hip.
"Do what you will." she said.
She leaped towards the darkness.
Blood red covers the vision. Another scream is heard, and the sound of swords dropping is heard.
Then, darkness.
Darkness and quiet.
Suddenly, a young girl, about 16 years old, bolts up in her bed. She had viridian hair that fell to the small of her back, but light brown eyes. She wore a light green nightie as she breathed quickly. She felt her heart beating against her chest.
"That dream again. . . ." she said to herself. "Pull yourself together Sacae, it was only the second time you've had that dream. You must be the biggest wimp on the whole continent. Make yourself go back to sleep."
The girl laid back down on her bed, and snuggled one of her pillows, quickly falling back to sleep.
Tadaa!!!!
