A little prelude-

Here are the facts, alright. I read everything you guys review and have comments, good and bad. I write everything on my own and respect everyone's writing and thoughts. So I will be putting this chapter as a little readers note.

I have the Crescent family move from Cleyra for my own reasons. You'll find out why later

I would like to thank all who have made comments on my stories, I know I'm not very good but the reviews help a lot. :)

I WRITE EVERYTHING MYSELF! I do not plagiarize in any way! As stated I respect everyone's writing, but take note to the story, if it pleases everybody I'll change the name and condition of the character in question. To tell the truth, I didn't even realize that there was a similar character out there.

Other than that anyone who is still reading this, I'd like to thank you for your time, but please send me feed back so I can correct and fix any problems you might have with my stories.

Oh and one more thing, I know that Cleyra doesn't have knights, what meant to say was 'He trained at Burmecia and returned to Cleyra as a knight.' He's officially a knight of Burmecia, but was born and returned to his home.

I shall have more too come. Also I'd like to thank those who have reviewed so far:

Thank you, I'll have more Preludes and thank all who review.

For anyone who'd give a hoot I'd like to explain my naming system. Out of all my characters here's a little about how I name them.

For Dark One:

Crimson Blade- I choose his last name because an old warrior has to have a good, in my account, last name.

The children he taught- they just came to me or had friend with names I like so I named them like that.

For Steel path:

Locke- he was a past Final fantasy character, for those who don't know and the name usually holds a high form.

Marny- I thought it was a sweet name.

Kai and Zak- Zak is going to be explained later, and Kai actually Kai-Kai, I know its weird but true.

For Floral Path:

William-Like the name that's all.

Matthew- Like the name that's all.

Marie- I have a friend, same name.

Caladin- Great old name, well actually I made it up.

Acara- I can't remember the official name for it, but it's the attack the Dark Knight uses if Final Fantasy X-2.

Aretha- In Future stories I plan to have her as a singer. ;)

Iron- Hem and Piston- The reasons I have them named like this is that I have them named after an object, and/or weapon.

Anita- I named her that because 101 Dalmatians is my Favorite Disney movie, so I owe the name to that, and I wanted a character to give real insight, even though she was different.

Edward-Needed a name for Freya's father.

That's all thanks for your time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
