Hopes and Fears
Chapter 1: Chronicles of Genis Sage
My name is Genis Sage.
I'm not human. As I'm not elf. I am, as people say, a filthy half-elf. One of those between the long-lived creatures and the main race in the world. There was always discrimation against us. It didn't matter the time, the world, nothing. Sometimes it was huge, people kicked on us as if we were trash. Sometimes, very small. No one saying nothing, but discussed in the deepest part of their heart. I don't know what it's worse. My dream… is to stop this! Stop this non-sense discrimation against a race that will always exist! Just as humans and elfs! I…Never had courage to do nothing…I couldn't help my father, and he died right in front of my eyes. My mother got insane too. Because of my weakness. Am I the only one who think like this? My sister always says that my mother was too weak against the people from the world out there.
But, sometimes, I remember of Mithos's words. "Is that a sin to be weak hearted?" And I keep on thinking about it. I can't help but to think it's not a sin. People do what they believe it's right most of the time… The only ones I can't forgive are the most selfish, who only think about their self's without knowing the consequences.
It's hard to find a better way for everything. It's hard to go against the rest of the world's opinion. But… I have a friend who did so. He was someone really strong. He didn't care about the others opinion if he think they were wrong. He didn't give up even when he own father betrayed him. You all know the great things he did in the so called "Tales of Symphonia", as people named his legend. Even though he didn't know that yet, he has kind a dark past.
In that journey that Lloyd began, I discovered everything about my past, my possible future and myself. From now on, I don't want to have regrets. As he didn't. I clear know my path now. And I'll stop the discrimination. After all, I have a thousand years to do so, right? In this time, I'm sure almost all – or even all – my friends will die. I will have what, eighty years to pass with the younger of them, in the case, my… loved one, Presea?
I don't know if I'll love her for the rest of my life. I'm too young for this kind of things!
But then again, I won't regret my decision, if I'll stay by her side or not. Since we both are happy is enough to me. By the way, if only all my friends – for now, and the others that I don't know yet – were happy, I would be happy too. Yeah, I'll pray for that.
Even if the goddess Martel doesn't exist. She was a half-elf like me, you know? And she was killed by discrimation. It was because of Mithos's acts, but I still think there is hope if someone like her became a goddess. It can be a illusion, but I won't give up from my path. I'm a mere magician, but with these hands I'll get a way to stop discrimation. I'll save those I love who need to be save. I'll save humans, elfs, half-efs, dwarves, even Summon Spirits! And with these hands… I'll finally save myself.
Well, how was it? Please tell me if it was good, and Review!
