Characters (c) Square-Enix

There's a legend that is told through out the land. A young prince with the power of light who rules the land. But, the child will remain emotionless until he or she is touch with their first kiss of true love. This tale's goes back a hundred years ago. To the second prince of the kingdom. This child...was named Light.

The dawn of a new day was slow one. Cosmos, queen of the land of harmony, was giving birth to her and Cid's child. The dragoon legion was told to spread the news of the newborn prince coming to the world. The young dragoon apprentice named Kain, only five years old, was with the king to see the young prince he must protect for the rest of his life. His friend, Cecil Harvey a knight in training, tug on Kain's shirt to remove themselves off of the room. Soon everyone was looking out for the new prince. A group of rouge knights called the Wild Rose arrived just for this day only. The leader and wife knows the royal family since their first generations of the two groups. Scott and Hilda, the new leaders of the group, waited to see if the king and queen would come.

"Do you know about the light in this kingdom, Scott?" Hilda asked to the male leader.

"Does it like, be absorbed into the prince or princess to make the child a great warrior? If not, a wise ruler?"

"Your...somewhat correct. The child does follow those things. If a girl, she can see into the future and use her magic to prevent it like Queen Cosmos. If a male, then he'll be a mighty warrior protecting his kingdom from invaders from the lands of discord. And all of this is from the kingdom's light."

"Is there a side effect of absorbing this light." When did Scott really likes listening to Hilda now of a sudden?

"Of course. The child becomes emotionless. He or she will never feel them unless they were kissed by true love. This is how Cosmos and Cid first meet."

Soon everyone looked up to see Cosmos with a blue and white bundle of joy in her arms. The echo of the child's cry harmonizing with the chirping of the birds coming to the castle's wall. Scott, Hilda and Richard, Kain's father, looked up to see the holy dragon, Bahamut, looking down to the family. The baby looked at the scaled dragon god who come down to earth to see him. The god's nose sniffed the blanket before seeing the blue eyes looking at him. The child smiled and was given a scale necklace from his wing.

"Young knight." Bahamut did a mind link to the child. "I can see your future and see a great king and knight under the light. But be warn, my child. Someone under darkness will order his men to kill you so he can rule your land with an iron fist. But, one person he'll order will be a key to your destiny. Young child...be warn of your future."

Soon the dragon lifted off the balcony and breath out a stream of light to the sky. Returning home, he looked down with his light shining down to the child. Everyone prey for the king and queen's son's future. Cosmos looked down to see the scale shining brightly like the sun. Soon everyone left the couple alone. Cosmos was at her small shrine filled with paintings of the past. Each reflected off the queens and kings of the kingdom. During her free time, she was constructing her painting of her son, whom they named him Light, in twenty years from his birth as a true knight and king. Like the god himself, she can see the future herself. Like the dragon, she can see what Bahamut saw. Soon she finished her painting. A young man with the dragon scale necklace wearing blue and yellow armor. Behind him is Bahamut, the dragon god who will guide him. But...she drew something else. Under the man's portrait was someone wearing silver armor with an army behind him. But one of the men was wearing a blue cloak around his body. Tan skin was shown from the face and silver hair covering the hazel eyes. Cid entered the shrine to see the painting before realizing about the shadowy male in the picture. He could only point it to one person. Garland, the former knight of his kingdom and his brother. Grabbing his blade, he marched off to the lands of discord to met with his former ally.

The lands of discord was different than Cid's home. Much of the evil people in lives here instead of harmony because they feel like home. Garland lived here for most of his life, or since he was banished thanks to his brother, Cid. Being related to the royal family, Garland wasn't the favorite one in the family despite being the eldest child. His sliver hair was slightly up in a ponytail with his horned helmet hanging from his left pinky finger. He watched the bombs (Final Fantasy creatures, not the item itself) floating by before hearing his name called.

"Garland!" Cid shouted over the land. "Where are you?!"

Putting his mask on, the older one looked at the man with his bright green eyes looking at Cid.

"Yes, Brother?" Garland casually asked, laying down on his stone bed next to his weapon. "What do you want, runt?"

"Stop calling me that! And where were you today?"

"Today? What day is it?"

"The day of your nephew's birth."

"So, I'm a uncle now. Whoop de do. What's my punishment for not being there?"

"Garland...what have you become?"

Garland smirked. He always knows he'll win in a match against wits.

"Nothing really. I never wanted to be king anyway, dear brother. I got many friends here. Friends that...understands me."

"Are you saying that your better than me?!"

Cid pulled out his sword before seeing his brother pointed his to his forehead. The king was sweating with the point about to break his skin. Garland placed his blade down and looked at the dark sky.

"It is not a challenge for the throne, my dear runt. I'll stay here just so your son, and my nephew, can become the next king."

"Promise?" Cid pulled out his pinky finger to his older brother.

Garland chuckled for a bit. All the time, both of them pinky promise each other to keep a secret from their parents. Now he has to keep a promise to his brother of not leaving the lands of discord so his nephew can become the next king?"I promise..." Garland said with a smile under the metal mask.

Cid left his brother alone before Garland got a vision from Chaos, god of discord. A vision of him ruling the lands harmony and discord. His brother's and nephew's deaths under his blade. An army ready to kill every living thing on earth. He laughed insanely. His visions are without a doubt equaled to Cosmos. Soon his vision will be a realistic to the people's eyes.

Morning turned into night. Days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months. Months turned into seasons. Seasons turned into years. Cid and Cosmos worried for their son's future. Hoping for a peaceful one, Cosmos asked Bahamut to protect Light until he dies in battle or in grief. Cid looked at the sky to see the stars shining down to his three year old son. Light has silver hair from his dad side but bright blue eyes from mother. He always wears a black shirt with blue pants with yellow lines on it with matching shoes. Now he was wearing a pair of black pjs with a small Bahamut plushy in his arms. Now...all could Light do is sleep of being a mighty warrior like his father.
