Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Baten Kaitos Origins. I only own...well, not really anything. Huh.

Well, here's my first fic. Finally. It is from BKO, and you can kind of guess what it'll be like. So.. please enjoy!

Prologue: The end and beginning

No...it can't be! He isn't dead yet! I was shocked for a moment, seeing as I felt no sadness, only anger. I shook it off. I would have time to mourn later. I attempted to take a deep breath, the action only casing me to nearly cough. I couldn't do that now. Not now...

Through the strong light now surrounding me, I could see the figures standing there, with odd... faces? No, they were masks. I couldn't see anything that was on my sides, or behind me, and for that I was glad. The two at the front said something, and I tried to raise my sword. The strange silhouette was too fast, and I felt a deep, wrenching, awful pain from my stomach. I started screaming as my entire field of vision was covered in red. I felt myself being lifted off the ground as my vision faded to black. The pain, my headache, and all my emotions broke, and suddenly everything was black.

No...

Wow... that was a bit depressing. Don't worry, it'll get better. And hopefully this story won't fall into the angst category.
