Johnny: Hey...where's Andrew?

Sylvetta: He went off to practice his archery skills...

Johnny: Hmmm...I told him that he could present this Ch but since he's not here i'll do it...

Sylvetta: Nono! Um...let me...

Johnny: Um..alright, go for it...

Sylvetta: And now without further delay, the 3rd Ch. of my son's story.

Random audience: YAY!

Johnny: Um...where'd they come from...?

Sylvetta: I dunno...

Johnny: ...oh well...


Ch. 3 Revelations of the Past

Andrew followed his mother into the tower where they say down to rest. Sylvetta then turned to her son to reveal everything about who he is, where he comes from, and things to come…

Sylvetta: Long ago…there existed a great kingdom known as Sylcadia. The people from there were much different from citizens of Spira.

Andrew: How so?

Sylvetta: Well for one…you can easily recognize a Sylcadian by their hair color. It wasn't uncommon to see a person with either white or silver hair. Also they tend to age a little slower than normal people. And also…we all have a unique power known as Sylva…it's a power only one can be born with…

Andrew: So that's what my power is…but…what ever happened to Sylcadia…?

Sylvetta: Although use of our power is what made Sylcadia prosper…misuse of it was also what caused its destruction…

Andrew: What happened…?

Sylvetta: One of our own betrayed our kingdom and joined forces with an evil Maestor…Lord Vidina and his forces fought their hardest against them but ended up falling at defeat…almost all Sylcadians were killed in the attack…

Andrew: So what became of the survivors? And what of the royal bloodline?

Sylvetta: The few that survived are most likely hiding…because our foe is still alive today…and as for the royal bloodline…

Andrew: Yes…?

Sylvetta: The royal bloodline is still alive today…it is within me and you my son…I am the Queen and you are the Crown Prince…

Andrew: W-w-what? You're the-? I'm the-? Wait…if I'm the crown prince, then how was I kept safe from our enemy all this time?

Sylvetta: As I told you Sylcadians are easily recognized by their hair…I used my powers to turn your hair jet black…

Andrew: Mother…if our enemy is still out there then what are we to do? You said that they defeated father…but there has to be a way to make them pay!

Sylvetta: With our combined powers even we together would not be able to defeat them…The traitorous Sylcadian is very powerful and the Maestor cannot be killed by normal means…however…there is hope…

Andrew: What is it?

Sylvetta: Andrew my son…I must send you on a mission to seek out two very important people…they won't be as hard to find as you might think. I foresee that by the time you find them, they will be together…the only hope for Spira's salvation lies not only with me and you…but the Al Bhed Princess by the name of Lesca, and…your little brother Andris…the younger crown prince of Sylcadia…

Andrew: I…have a little brother…?

Sylvetta: Yes…to ensure both of your safety…I felt it necessary to keep you separated…if you were together, your powers would have awakened too soon and our foes would have found you easily…

Andrew: But mother…how am I suppose to find my brother…let alone this princess…I don't even know where to start looking…

Sylvetta: Simply follow your instincts my son…if the situation would allow I would travel with you but I'm afraid you must go alone…

Andrew: I see…well…what am I suppose to say to my brother when I meet him? And this princess?

Sylvetta: When you first see them don't confront them just yet. There will be a time when they both return here looking for answers…we shall confront them then…

Andrew: I see…Alright then…

Sylvetta: Take these arrows. They are specially made to carry Sylva power when shot so an attack with them will be more powerful. However don't waste them. Use them as a last resort.

Andrew: I understand. …Guess I'd better get started looking then huh?

Sylvetta: Please be careful my son…I would be devastated if anything were to happen to you or Andris…

Andrew: I will mother…and there's no need to worry…I've earned a nickname of sorts for my skills with the bow. I shall return…and we will defeat this evil force in the name of our homeland…

Sylvetta: (Smiling) You sound so much like your father…Very well Andrew…I will see you again when the time comes…(she walks to him and hugs him) Be careful…"Silver Sniper"…

Andrew: I will…see ya soon!

Outside Andrew stands facing the direction he feels that he must take.

Andrew: It's funny how quickly one can go from being an average sharpshooter…to a prince of a lost kingdom…let alone part of Spira's only hope of salvation from this great foe…I've got a long road ahead of me…but I'm not afraid…I'll face any challenge thrown to me head on and overcome it…who knows…maybe I'll run into that Amazon girl again…


Andrew: (skids to a hault) Gah! You already told this chapter without me?

Paine: Told ya we should've left sooner!

Johnny: Um...i'm confused...I thought that you went to practice your archery skills...

Andrew: Oh! ...I am-I mean I was...

Sylvetta: Then why were you with him Paine?

Paine: I was...helping! Yeah!

Andrew: What she said!

Johnny: Riiiiiiight...well whatever...R&R please!
