Once… upon a time.
A serious, serious time. By serious people.
When serious darkness swept across the land, and only faint lights could be seen flying in the distance. It was a time of unrest. A time of bad omens. Of ominous portends and aaaaallll that pretentious crap.
“Um… is that a trick question, Sir?”
“Nope. I’m being dead serious. This might be my only appearance in this story, so I have to make sure to play my part.”
“Ssssh. That’s on a ‘need to know’ basis, Sir.”
“Fair enough. But anyway, I would like an answer, Lady Erim.”
“Oh, nothing. Just curious.”
“…that’s it?”
“Yep.”
“You’re joking, right?”
“Guilty as charged. See, what happened was…”
“Yes, it’s ringing its little bell. It’s calling for a hero. You know, the usual stuff.”
“Well, poopie. That just won’t do.”
“I meant to the toilet. You know, before you head out. I don’t want you to make it rain this time like you did the last time the sword rang its little bell.”
“Ew, Sir.”
“Ah, just another little joke there. You should learn to appreciate the small pleasures in life, Lady Erim.”
“If you say so, Sir Arek. Anyway, if there isn’t anything else, I’ll be heading out now.”
“We could probably coexist in peace, but where’s the fun in that?”
*sigh* “Fly over there, do this, get that, confirm whatever. My Lord can be so demanding at times. Oh well, at least nobody will notice this huge, red orb of light flying directly overhead and freak out. Last thing we need is a huge scuffle on our hands.”
“Oh hai, Triforce. Fancy meeting you here.”
Lufia 2: Rise of the Senior Citizens!
Prologue: Once upon a dime…
See you in the first chapter.
“Wait, that’s it? That’s all I get?”
Yes, for now.
“Aw, phooey.”
