So, I stumbled across a video on YT of a person playing RD2 and it caught my interest. I watched a play through of the entire game and I have come to really love the storyline and the characters. I have never played this game, never had the chance as I don't have Playstation or anything like that and probably won't ever get to play but I've decided to do a fanfic on it anyway just because I love it so much.
This story is about Chapter One, and a little bit after before Chapter Two. Just so this makes sense to you all, the gang has been trapped in the mountains for quite some time (over a month) and that's why this story is rather longer than the game (it has a lot of different storyline) but still follows the general drift.
As for what characters are going to be included in this story, let me tell you. All the characters (of the gang) will be in it at one time or another. However, there will be more of my favourite characters. This is my choice, so of course they will be in it more. These characters are Sadie (my number One top fave), Hosea (who doesn't love ol Hosea?) Arthur (Cause we can't leave out the leading man), Dutch (well, you'll find out but our little OC is somehow relat-) I'll leave that to your imagination. Susan (she does have everyone's best interest at heart) and lastly a few characters of my own (for very obvious reasons)
This story is completed in a first draft that is going to be edited then uploaded one chapter at a time. This story is Chapter one, there will be Six stories in total (once they are written) and the Epilogue. I have a storyline written out and I won't be taking storyline requests. I will listen to ideas but if they don't go with what I've got planned they won't be included.
Alright, I've probably bored you enough with all this talking. Enjoy this Prolouge and be sure to drop a review if you did!
Prologue
The young girl smiled as she sat on the back of a beautiful black stallion, surveying the setting sun as it sank down behind the horizon. This was her favorite time of the day, when the sky was painted with brilliant colors, all the colors of the rainbow. A thin scattering of clouds in the orange sky glowed like gold as the last remaining rays of sunlight shone upon them, then they disappeared as the sun was obscured from her view by the mountains it slipped behind.
A slight breeze was blowing, ruffling the girls long brown hair and the stallions mane and tail gently and as the girl shivered, she was reminded that winter was coming. Lingering for a moment longer, she sighed, then lifted the reins and turned the horse back towards her home. Once winter set in, and she knew it was going to be a harsh one, she wouldn't be able to watch the sunset like she did every day during the other seasons. She was going to miss it, miss seeing all the spectacular colors of the sky. Looking over her shoulder, she took one last glance in the direction the sun had set in, then nudged the stallion into a gallop down the slope back to her home. Life for her was perfect, or so it seemed…
Another woman was watching the sunset that day far away from where the girl was, but instead of watching it from the top of a cliff, she was watching it from the porch of her house. Leaning against the wooden post, her eyes were fixed on the glory and splendor of the gorgeous sunset. A gentle breeze blew her blonde fringe into her face and she quickly tucked it back behind her ear as her long skirt was ruffled and slapped into her legs. Shivering a little, for the breeze brought a chill nip with it, she pulled her shawl tighter around her shoulders then returned her gaze to the sky.
The sun was almost setting as she heard her husband ride back up the path and enter the barn and a small smile spread across her face. It was his birthday today, and as a present to him, she had brought him a new saddle since his old one was torn and beyond usefulness. He had left at first light to check on their small herd of cattle so she hadn't been able to surprise him with it before her went out, instead she had placed it on the door of his horses stall with a note on it. She loved him, and he loved her. Even though they had only been married for three years, those days had been filled with bliss as they worked together on the ranch they were carving out of the ground with their bare hands. As the sun slipped away down beyond the horizon, the smell of the cake she was cooking filled the air, bringing her back to reality. With one last wistful sigh towards the west, she turned and entered the house to prepare him his dinner. Life was perfect, or so it seemed…..
Alright, I hope you enjoyed this short Prolouge, and I'll see you again soon with your the first chapter!
