Prologue
The King of Fanelia proudly watched over his kingdom from the high mountains. He had gone hunting, leaving his loyal childhood friend, Merle behind in his palace. They had grown older together, and their bond had become stronger. Yet, friendship as resilient as theirs was… still could not warm the heart of this suffering royal that had lost his one and only love.
How many years passed since she disappeared into the fragments of light from the sky?
Indeed, he had been counting ever since the last time he stared deep into those green, emerald eyes that shone brighter than the most beautiful, glimmering star… counting since the last time, when he grasped the hand of the one he truly felt for, counting since the last time, when he said farewell to the one he never wanted to part from.
Fate is a twisted thing, he though to himself, for they were brought together by it, their worlds collided as if they were meant to be, but their separation tore them apart as if nothing was meant to change since she arrived the first day in Gaea.
"Can this love truly transcend worlds?" he questioned, as he grasped the light pink gem in his hand whilst its chain dangled from the side of his fingertips. It was something truly to treasure, for it meant so much to his love, yet she did not hesitate in giving it to him.
Emotions rushed through him as he heard the distant folk song of Fanelia as he made his way down the slope of the mountain. Images rushed through his mind, that of Folken, that of his Draconian mother, his father… and finally, those eyes came to haunt him once again. "Hitomi," he whispered to himself.
He fell to his knees, and droplets of his tears fell onto the floor.
