DISCLAMER: I don’t own any of the series described in this story, everything belongs to their respective creators.
Prologue 1: New Beginnings.
We begin our tale in a small house in the outskirts of the small house of Rolent, in the small region of the Liberl Kingdom.
Here, we see a young girl is sitting on a table, looking like she’s waiting for something, or someone.
“Hmm... Where’s dad?” said the young girl, “The guild said he’d be back today...”, this little girl then got up from her chair and went to look outside from the window on the back of the house.
“Schera’s gone training around the kingdom too... Ugh, this sucks!” she says as she wonders what to do, “Maybe I should practice with my staff some more before dinner?” she said as she striked a pose.
Just then, she heard the sound of the door being opened, “Hey, i’m home!” came the voice of a grown man, “Dad!” said the girl as she went running to the front door to meet her father.
“Sorry to kept you waiting, Estelle.” Said the grown man, “Did you watch the house like a good little girl?”.
“*giggle* You got that right!” said the girl, whose’s name is Estelle. Estelle Bright, “Are you okay Dad? You’re not hurt from fighting monsters?”.
“Nope. I’m totally fine, see?” said the man who was holding something in a blanket, “Anyway, Estelle. I got a little gift for you.”.
“Really?!” asked Estelle with anticipation, “A new fishing pole? Sneakers? A new tool for my staff?!”.
“... Where did I go wrong?” said the man, who is known as Cassius Bright, “You know, girls usually want pretty clothes or accesories?”.
“I like pretty clothes, but I just get ‘em all dirty.” said Estelle, “And I don’t want to accidentally break the accessories while playing.”.
“Anyway, dad. What’s with the big blanket? Is that my gift?”.
“Oh, well spotted…” said Cassius, “And up”” then he inclined blanket a bit to reveal that he was holding a little boy, this boy had black hair and also had bandages and bruises all over his face.
“wha...? ....................” Estelle was just speechless.
“Well, anyway...” Said Cassius, “Pretty good looking kid, dontcha think?”.
“W-W-Wha...” “WHO IS THIS BOY?!” yelled Estelle in bewilderment.
“No need to yell. You’ll wake him up.” Said Cassius.
“Wake him up? Is he even alive?” asked Estelle, “He’s totally limp.”.
“I gave him first aid, so his life isn’t at risk.” Said Cassius, “But it really is important he gets some proper rest.”
“I’ll get him to bed, so can you go boil some water for me, Estelle?”.
“Roger!” said Estelle.
After a little while, we find ourselves in Cassius’s room with him and Estelle looking over the boy, who was put in bed.
“He sure is sleeping...” said Estelle, “He’s about my age, right?”.
“I’ve never seen anyone with pitch black hair before...”.
“Yeah, pretty striking, isn’t it?.” Said Cassius, “His eyes are amber, by the way.”.
“Oh...” said Estelle, “That aside…” she then turned to face her father, “What the heck is going on here?!”.
“Ugh…” grumbled Cassius, not knowing what to say.
“Who is he?” asked Estelle, “Why’s he hurt? And why did you bring him home, Dad?”.
“Is he your secret love child?! Where you two-timing on mom?!”.
“Where’d you even learn those words ?” said Cassius, “Ah, it’s gotta be Scherazard.”.
“Yeah? So?” Estelle flat out confirmed and asked.
“That precocious girl...” said Cassius, “Anyway, I ran across this kid while I was working. I don’t even know his name.”.
“Working? As a bracer? Asked Estelle.
“Sorta.” said Cassius, then he noticed something, “Oh…”.
“What?” Said Estelle, “He’s waking up.” Said Cassius.
And sure enough, once Estelle turned around, the boy began to open his eyes.
“Ugh...” the boy began to wake up, “Wow, his eyes really are amber...” said Estelle as she got onto the bed and leaned closer to the boy.
“.................. …Where am I?” said the boy.
“Kid, you awake?” asked Cassius, “this is my place, so you got nothing to worry about.”.
“........................” the boy slowly began to sit up in the bed, “What’s going on here?” said the boy, “Wha…?” said Estelle.
“You must be crazy...” said the boy, “Why...? Why didn’t you just leave there?”.
“I can’t really say...” Said Cassius, “Well, let’s just call it happenstance” he said while winking with a big grin.
“N-No way!” yelled the boy, “Cassius Bright! Do you know what you’ve done?!”.
“Hey!” said Estelle as she smaked the boy with a wodden pan in the upside of his head, “Quit yelling! You sure are loud for someone as beat up a you are!”.
“You’ll make your injuries worse!” she said, then she put the pan back onto the cabinet.
“................... Who are you?” asked the boy.
“I’m Estelle! Estelle Bright!” she said.
“She’s my daughter.” Said Cassius as he grabbed and shook her head, “I told you I had a daughter about your age”.
“You did…” said the boy before... “Wait, that’s not what matters!” but then Estelle did a dropkick right in his face, “Aghh!”.
The boy was about to say something, but, “No more yelling!” said Estelle with a finger right at his nose.
“Alright…” said the boy, “But what you did was way worse then yelling…”.
“Wanna say that again?” asked Estelle.
“Y-You’re making my injuries worse…” said the boy... But Estelle quickly grabbed his cheeks with both hand and said “Are. You. Sure. About. That?”.
“Nevermind...” said the boy.
“Well, in this house, we do as Estelle demands.” Said Cassius as he grabbed his staff and leaned it back onto the wall, “Not even I’m a match for her when she’s upset.” As he finished saying that, Estelle had a smug look on her face.
“I can tell…” said the boy.
“By the way, aren’t you forgetting something?” said Estelle as she sat on the edge of the bed, “Huh…?” asked the boy.
“Your name. Cough it up. I already told you mine.” said Estelle, “It’s not fair that I’m the only one who doesn’t get to know”.
“Oh…” “…………………...” the boy could only stay silent to this.
“Hmph, makes sense. No point in hiding it now.” said Cassius, “It’s a pain if we don’t know. Just tell us.”.
“.................... A-Alright…” said the boy, “My… My name is...”.
And that’s how the story began...
5 Years later...
After that fatefull day, time has passed with relative peace for the Bright family, as we now join them on this day.
Septian calendar 12/02/1202.
We see the Bright house in full view now, and we see two individuals outside. One is a young boy who has a spear and a shield in each hand on the ground floor, and another, more grown up person who is stepping out onto the balcony. Meanwhile, Cassius is making breakfast downstairs as we join a grown up Estelle in her room.
“Ugh… so bright…” “*Yaaaawn*”, she said as she stretched herself, “Ngh… That was a good night’s rest!”.
“Ugg… I think it’s dad’s turn to make us breakfast today… Now then… I wonder if Joshua and Aleister are still in bed sleeping?”.
Just then, she began to hear the sound of a harmonica being played, “Oh? I guess Joshua’s up already.”.
Estelle listened to the song for a bit, then… “Alright… I should get dressed too!”
We then see the entire house again as we then focus on the grown boy, now known as Joshua, now playing his harmonica on the balcony, and as he finished, Estelle came from the door to the balcony and began to applaud.
“Woohoo!” said Estelle, “Not bad, Joshua.”.
“Good morning, Estelle.” Said Joshua, “Sorry, did I wake you?”.
“Nah, I just woke up.” Said Estelle, “”Look at you, Joshua, being so cheeky in the morning. You’re going to make your big sister swoon, you know that?”.
“Big sister? Where the same age.” Said Joshua.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. That’s where your wrong.” said Estelle, “Even if we are the same age, I was living here long before you. And that makes me your senior.”.
“Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say.” Said Joshua.
“Hey! That wasn’t very respectfull!” said Estelle, “But that was a nice song… A happy song with a hint of sadness. I like your other songs too, but that one’s my favorite”.
“What was it called again?”.
“It’s called ‘The Whereabouts of Light.’ “ Joshua awnsered.
“Yeah, that one. ‘The Whereabouts of Light.’ “ said Estelle, “Aww, if only I could play the harmonica like you do. It may look easy, but it’s way harder than it looks”.
“Compared with your skills with a staff, I think it’s pretty easy” Said Joshua, “It’s just a matter of focus.”.
“Hmm… I just get sleepy whenever I try to do that king of mental stuff” Said Estelle, “Joshua, playing the harmonica is nice and all, but you should try and be more active, too. All you do is read and polish your weapons.”.
“You’re never going to get a girlfriend by staying all cooped up here in the house!”.
“Well, excuse me for having umpopular hobbies.” Said Joshua, “Besides, you’re one to talk. I wouldn’t exactly call your hobbies normal. Fishing, bug-catching, collecting sport shoes…”.
“Grgh… What’s wrong with those? I like what I like!” said Estelle, “Besides, I grew out of bug catching years ago.”.
“Did you, though…?” Said Joshua.
“Hah!...yah!...” the two of them were interrupted by a noise coming from the ground floor.
The two of them turned towards the direction of the noise, “Wait, he’s already at it already at this time of day?” asked Estelle.
“Well you know how he is, always the dedicated one.” said Joshua.
We then turn towards what they were looking at, and it was a boy, he was wearing an orange shirt and black shorts, and he was wearing blue sandals, but the important thing to note was that he was holding a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand.
The boy proceded to do a sequence of 3-thrusts foward, followed by spinning around and slashing with the spear, he then started swinging the spear, first the the left, then he did a 360 to the right, and ended with him jumping foward and thrusting his spear, coming close to the lake near the house.
He then quickly turned around with the shield at the ready, then he began to charge foward witht he shield, then he did a shield bash, he then put his right foot behind himself and got in a position with his spear, to which he then thrust his spear foward.
Then he looked at another direction then threw his spear at a tree, then he charged with his shield foward and rammed it foward, then he took the spear from the tree and did a series of blinding-fast thrusts.
He then dodge-rolled out of the way and landed in the middle of the courtyard, he then proceded to block with his shield as he walked backwards, then, he saw his opening and did a shield bash, “Let’s end this!” he said as he did a 360 as he spinned his spear in a circle multiple times, ending with him doing a powerfull thrust foward, seemingly killing whatever imaginary opponent he was facing.
He then stood up straight as he spinned his spear and planted the wooden part of it into the ground and did a pose for a moment. He then held his left arm to his chest as he took a deep breath, “Phew, now that was a workout” the boy said, then he began to hear to hear applauses, to which he looked up to see Estelle and Joshua.
“Way to go, you really showed them what you’re capable of.” Said Joshua.
“Yup, you’re the only one that can make the ‘fighting with imaginary friends’ thing look interesting” said Estelle.
“First off, thanks, Joshua.” Said the boy, “And secoundly, Estelle, how many time must i tell you that i was training?”.
“All by yourself?” asked Estelle.
“What? Never heard of ‘Shadow-Boxing’? It’s basically the same concept.” said the boy, “...Then again, you’re not exactly the type of person were that idea would work, isn’t that right Joshua?”.
“Excuse me? What exactly do you mean by that?!” said Estelle, a bit peeved.
“...Well, you’re not exactly...wrong per se.” said Joshua.
“Wha...? Why aren’t you taking my side?” said Estelle, but he simply ignored her.
“Anyway, what are you doing training all by yourself?” asked Joshua, “isn’t it ususally better to train with a partner?”.
“It is, but since you two were both still asleep, i figured i should try and get some practice on my own” said the boy, “Plus Joshua, after you woke up you decided to play your harmonica, so i figured i should just leave you be. Though, it’s always nice to hear you play anyway.”.
“You’re pretty good with the flute as well.” said Joshua, “And if i remember right, you’re looking to get your hands on an Eastern flute as well?”.
“The Sakuhachi? Yeah i have been thinking about having one imported.” said the boy, “I heard there pretty difficult to play, but hey, it’s all a matter of practice right guys?”.
“Just like with Joshua’s harmonica, all it takes is a little bit of effort to do it right.” said the boy, “You know what? Maybe i should get an harmonica of my own, that way you can teach me some of your songs”.
“Sounds like a good idea to me.” Said Joshua, “But were would you get the money to buy the intruments? I don’t think the money that you get from your part-time jobs could cover that much.”.
“Yeah, maybe you could also tell us how you get the money to afford all those dolls and clothes?” asked Estelle, “You’ve been getting them WAY to quickly recently.”.
“He he he... That, my dear siblings, is a secret!” said the boy with a big grin.
“Hey, Estelle, Joshua, Aleister!” came the voice of Cassius from down below, and they all looked towards him.
“Morning, dad!” said Estelle.
“Mornin’n dad.” said the boy, now known as Aleister.
“Good morning, dad. Is breakfast ready?” asked Joshua.
“Yep, all done” said Cassius, “The two of you should come downstairs before it gets cold.”.
“Roger!” said Estelle, “We’ll be right down” said Joshua, and then they both went back inside the house.
Cassius then turned his attention towards his other son, “But honestly, at this time of the day? And before you even ate anything?” he said, “You could have at least waited until after breakfast before starting.”.
“You know how it is, it this kind of dedication that makes someone unstopaple” said Aleister, “Besides, i wasn’t doing anything intense, just a light warmup”.
“You do reaslise that what passes for light to you might not mean the same thing to other people, right?” said Cassius, “But anyway, that’s a matter for another time, so how about we go inside to eat before Estelle eats our part of the food?”.
“Honestly? I could actually see her doing that.” Said Aleister, “But sure, let’s go inside.”.
And so, the four of them ate together, all while talking with each other and just being happy to be with one another.
“That was great!” said Estelle, “Ugh, I’m SO full”.
“You sure have an appetite” asked Joshua.
“What’s wrong with that? You gotta eat and sleep a lot if you want to grow big!’.” Said Estelle.
“Yeah well, eating and sleeping to much is only going to make you fat and lasy, you know?” said Aleister.
“Hump! You’re the last person I want to hear say that, mister “Let’s run from one end of Rolent to another.” ” said Estelle.
“It’s important to eat right and get proper energy.” Said Cassius, “You two have last day of training at the guild today, right?”.
“Yes. But it’s just a review of everything we’ve learned so far.” Said Joshua.
“Once that’s done, we’ll be bracers just like you, dad!” said Estelle, “You won’t get to treat me like a kid anymore!”.
“Heh. Don’t get to ahead of yourself.” Said Cassius, “You’ll be starting off as a junior bracer, nothing more than a trainee. If you want me to treat you like a grown up, you’d better hurry and become a senior bracer.”.
“Grr, challenge accepted!” said Estelle, “Just you watch! I’m gonna rack up achievements and become a way bette bracer than you, Dad!”.
“Hahaha! Go ahead and try.” said Cassius.
“Why are you two always so competitive…” said Joshua, “Besides, Estelle, you got more important things to focus on. You still have to pass the exam at the end of the day today.”.
“Huh? ..................” Estelle was just left without words, “There’s the dreaded word for people like Estelle” said Aleister.
“What exam?” she finally asked.
“D-Don’t tell me you already forgot...” Joshua said with a sweatdrop, “There going to test us on everything we’ve learned. Schera said that if you don’t pass, you’ll have to take supplementary training”.
“Ohh, crap... I completely forgot...” said Estelle, finally realising what Joshua was talking about, “Now that you mentioned it, maybe Schera did say something like that…”.
Then she immediatly perked up, “Well, I’m sure it will be fine!”.
“You’re always like this... So carefree. Or maybe careless is a better word…”.
“Considering you forgot that there was an exam today, i wouldn’t count your chances.” Said Aleister, “Hate to say it Estelle. But it looks like Joshua is going to become a bracer before you.”.
“Hey!” said Estelle.
“It’s something else, isn’t it?” said Cassius, “I don’t know where you got all that endless optimism from.”.
“Excuse you. I’m not half as bad as you are, Dad.” said Estelle.
“Guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree...” Said Joshua, “Anyway, we should head into town soon, Estelle. Schera is waiting for us at the guild.”.
“Gotcha. Schera gets real acary when we make her wait.” Said Estelle, and so she and Joshua got up from their chairs and began walking to the door, but then Estelle stoped to say... “Oh, Dad. It’s my turn to make dinner tonight. Is there anything you want to eat? I’m taking requests!”.
“Requests, eh...? ………………….” Cassius thought about it for a moment, then said, “How about Ruan-style steamed fish in a balsamic vinegar?”.
“B-Balsami…what?” asked Estelle, “Now that sure sounds fancy.” said Aleister.
“I think that might be somewhat beyond Estelle’s abilities” said Joshua.
“Well, it was worth a shot.” Said Cassius, “How about the usual fried fist, or omelets, if you prefer. Just… Try and keep it edible, please”.
“Rude! But you’re not exactly wrong...” said Estelle.
“Oh, actually, I do have one request.” said Cassius, “Could you go to the general store and buy me a copy of the Liberl News? The newest isuue should be out today.”.
“Got it! LIberl News, general store.” Said Estelle, who then went to her father and received the Mira needed to pay for the newspaper.
“Consider the rest your allowance.” Said Cassius, “But don’t spend it all in one place.”.
“Yay! Thanks!” said Estelle, then she went back to Joshua, “Well then, Dad, we’re going now.” He said.
“Okay. Well, best of luck to you both. And give Scherazard my regards” said Cassius.
“By the way, Dad. Shouldn’t you really go to the guild today?” asked Estelle, “You’ve barely been for the last few days.”.
“I’m afraid I still got some paperwork to clear up.” said Cassius, “Besides, what are you so worried about? I always work just hard enough not to get myself fired.”.
“(You know, somehow, I don’t quite by that…)” thought Estelle, “Oh yeah! Hey Aleister? Want to go into town with us? You haven’t stepped foot in there for a few days now.”.
“Thanks for asking, but not right now, i have other stuff planned for today.” Said Aleister, “Besides, i’d rather not go there only to have to make a run for it.”.
“Why would you have to make a run for...” said Estelle, then a thought came to mind, “! Hang on a minute! Did you prank someone again?”.
“Maybe.” Said Aleister.
“And things got out of hand again, right?” asked Joshua.
“...Maybe...” said Aleister while looking away from the two of them.
“(Sigh) This is REALLY starting to get out of hand now.” Said Estelle, “Could you at least tell us who was the unlucky victim so we could apologise to them?”.
“Fine, fine, It was... S.her.” said Aleister, before dissolving into a whisper.
“Couldn’t hear you there, gonna have to speak up.” Said Estelle.
“I pranked Schera, all right?!” said Aleister, and the whole room was in silence.
“(Sigh) What did you do this time?” asked Joshua.
“I was walking around town, minding my own buisness, when i realised she was taking a bath.” Said Aleister, “So, thinking it would be funny, i went in, took all of her clothes and hid them somewere she wouldn’t think to look, so, when she got out and realised she had nothing to were, i jumped out and said ‘good luck going to work without your clothes!’. Then she began to chase me and we ran around the building.”.
“Seems fine so far.” Said Estelle, “But that’s when things started getting out of hand.” Said Joshua.
“Yeah, so, she was starting to get to me, so i thought to run outside, thinking that she wouldn’t run after me with just a towel, but then, i tripped, and since she did actually run after me when i got outside.” Said Aleister, “So, she lifted me up and demanded that i tell her were i hid her clothes or she would give me a real spanking, but just as i was about to tell her, BAM! It happened.”.
“What happened?” asked Estelle oblivious, while Joshua and Cassius could already imagine.
“(Sigh) Her towel fell off.” said Aleister, and the two of them were stunned, “And keep in mind that this happened while we were outside, so her face quickly got red.”.
“W-Wh-... WHAAAAAT?!” yelled Estelle, “D-Does that mean that you saw her...”.
“...In all her glory? Yup.” Said Aleister.
“So, what happened next?” asked Joshua, quickly wanting to change the subject, “I’m guessing that’s when she brought you back inside for a spanking?”.
“Actually, i managed to break free from her grasp and ran as fast as i could into the woods.” Said Aleister, “After i made sure she wasn’t following me, i went to grab her clothes and took them to Aina, asked her to deliver them to Schera, and immediatly went back here”.
“Wow... That’s one hell of a story.” Said Estelle, “And once again, another one of your harmless pranks ends up blowing out of proportions.”.
“Yeah, i know.” Said Aleister, “And as you can imagine, ever since that day, i’ve been triying to avoid her, not going into town much, and whenever she comes here, i quietly sneak out.”.
“Well, that explains some things.” Said Cassius, “she’s been coming to me and asking about you in particular, saying that she needs to have a ‘serious talk’ with you. But whenever she comes around, you suddenly dissapear, and whenever i say that we should look for you, she says that she’d rather catch you by suprise”.
“Well, I’M suprised that this didn’t become the talk of the town.” Said Estelle, “Didn’t you say that this happened out in the open?”.
“Well, i wasn’t paying attention to my surrondings, but It was in the evening, so I guess either no one was there to see it, or the few people who did see it decided to keep their mouths shut.” Said Aleister, “Still though? It’s gonna be a good while before i get close to her. But while were talking about it, when you see her for your exam, could you tell her that i’m sorry?”.
“She’s probably gonna want to hear you say it to her face.” Said Joshua.
“Yeah i know, still though, i’m gonna have to come up with a bit of courage before i do it.” Said Aleister.
“All right then. Well, i guess we’d better get going.” Said Estelle, and so she and Joshua went to the door, “Bye now!” she said, “See you two later.” Said Joshua, and so they left.
“Well, those two sure are excited today.” Said Aleister, “But i guess it makes sense, after today, if everything goes well, the’ll be becoming bracers.”.
“As i said to Estelle, the’ll only be becoming junior bracers.” Said Cassius, “The both of them will still have a long way to go even after that. But while were on the subject, what do you think there odds of passing the test are?”.
“For Joshua? Pretty good if he’s smart about it.” Said Aleister, “But for Estelle? Let’s just say that, if she does pass, it will probably be because Joshua saved her.”.
“(Sigh) even you think so, huh?” said Cassius, “If she really wishes to become a proper bracer and be given the respect she wants, she’s gonna have to get her act together.”.
“I guess you could say that she’ll have to ‘git gud’ if she wants to make it as a bracer, right?” said Aleister with a big grin.
“And were exactly did you learn that slang?” asked Cassius.
“From a role-playing group that passed here some time ago.” said Aleister, “They said it to one of their newer members and they told me what that meant, and let me tell you, it sure was fun playing with them. We went dungeon diving, got some powerfull weapons and items, learned some powerfull moves and spells, and we even fought a frikkin’ dragon and shared in it’s hearts.”.
“Indeed, you wouldn’t stop talking about it for the entire duration of their stay, and you sure were sad to see them go.” Said Cassius, “I was worried about letting you participate in something as complex as role-playing, but if it get’s you to talk with more people, then all the better.”.
“Well, it sure was a fun experience, that’s for sure.” Said Aleister. “And besides, it’s not that hard when you understand the rules and have a liberal sense of imagination, I certanly wouldn’t have thought to throw a dung pot into poisonous coccons to make them overload and explode.”.
“A game that literally rewards people with imagination, who would have thought.” Said Cassius, then he got up from his chair, “Well now, i think it’s about time i went back to my paperwork, can’t delay it that much, after all.” He then walked a bit towards his room, but then he stopped to look at Aleister, “Now, you’re free to do what you want today, but try and keep yourself out of trouble, all right?”.
“Yeah, sure thing Dad.” Said Aleister.
“Very well then... Oh, and also, i suggest you try and work up some excuse for Scherazard soon, you won’t be able to keep dodging her forever.” And with that, he went into his room.
“...Easier said than done, she can be suprisingly scary when she wants to.” Said Aleister to himself, “Not that he’s wrong though, gonna have to apologise sometime soon.”.
Then he got up from his chair with a determined look, “But that can wait a little while longer.” Then he formed fists with his hands then pumped his arms back, “After all, today’s finally the day that i explore that ruin!”.
We then cut to see Aleister in his room at the top floor, and in here we see that in this room there are the mundane things like: A carpet on the floor, a wardrope, a desk and a bed, but there are also some training lances and shields on one side of the room, a counter with some toys and action figures and dolls, some more realistic than others, there was also a book titled: The proper basics on tea parties. On the desk, there is a big book called: Lords of the Elden. Player’s handbook. And alongside it there are some sheets of paper with big words saying: Character sheet. We don’t see much else from the sheet as it is covered by a normal book, but we do see a name: Syf the Gifted One.
We then see that Aleister is wearing some new clothes, he’s still wearing an orange shirt and black shorts, but now he was wearing black fingerless gloves and instead of sandals, he was wearing brown combat boots, he was also wearing a belt with pouches and a hook for Rappel and was wearing black kneepads with a silver shine to them, then he finishes with putting on a small grey cloak with a hood.
“All right now, i’m all suited up.” Said Aleister, “Now just to summerise what i have, my lance and shield? Check. Combat Orbment? Check. Healing items? Check. Orbal camera with a clean orbment? Check. A rope? Check. A flashlight? Check. Well, it seems like i have everything i need for my first real life dungeon diving experience.”.
He then went out of his house and walked a bit in the Elize highway until he reached a for in the road, he looked towards the northen road and thought “Wonder how Estelle and Joshua are doing with their test”, then he turned towards the southern road and walked in that direction.
His destination? The Mistwoods. More specifically, the ruins in the Mistwoods which hide a secret entrance that seemingly only he can enter.
Why? Because it seems fun to him, and because, from what he read in the places that everyone else can enter, that place might just have to hide more than it appears...
Hello to everyone reading, this is indeed real, a new Legend of Heroes crossover story, but let me tell you, this will be something MUCH bigger than what you’re expecting, i got big plans for this, and i’ll be happy to have you all along the way.
To everyone who follows me, sorry for being MIA for a while, life’s been complicated for me, and i was getting ready for this, but don’t worry, i still plan on working on my other stories alongside this one, even if it might take a while.
So, what do you think about this beginning? I know nothing much has happened that didn’t already happend, but the new stuff will be kicking off next chapter, so stay tuned.
And to some of you wondering how a will handle the new stuff alongside the main timeline, i plan on balancing it at best that i can, some things might change, some stuff will stay the same, but you can bet that there will be a LOT of new stuff in this world.
And to some of you wondering just what you read, let me tell you something, while Cold Steel was the first game to be officially localised, this story started actually started with: The legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky. I highly suggest that all of you go play it for yourselves first before reading this story, it’s really cheap on steam, or if you don’t want to pay for it, then i suggest you go watch a let’s play from a Youtuber called “BigKlingy”, his playthough is really good and very detailed, either way, trust me, you’ll really enjoy this trilogy if you’re a fan of this series.
Anyway, hope you all enjoyed yourselves, and see you next time.
(Edit: With the release of the Remake of Trails in the sky The 1st chapter. I decided to rework the chapters I did so far to make use of the new dialogue, so if you noticed anything different about this chapter, it’s beause of that. Either way, hope you liked it.).
