ZANKURO
Chapter 1: Prelude…
“Listen to my story… This could be my last chance…”
For over three centuries, the continent of Nosgoth has been torn apart by the many wars between the Zankuros and the Orcs. The Kingdom of Zankuro has long been fighting to protect Nosgoth from the Orcs who seek total domination over it.
Ten years have passed since the current war has broken out, and today, a truce has been finally signed to mark an end to it…
Welcome to Zankuro… The ultimate fantasy…
It was almost sunset in Zanarkand, the capitol of the kingdom of Zankuro. Xion was walking along the main sky road after returning from the war. Half way on the road, he decided to stop and take a look at the city from above. He could see most of Zanarkand from that position along with a spectacular view of the royal palace (a.k.a. Grand Bastion). He stood there, watching the sun as it disappeared slowly behind the horizon while many thoughts stirred in his mind about the war and its outcomes. He was interrupted by the sound of wings flapping along with a familiar voice…
Tiamat:
“Xion!”
It was Tiamat, the dark dragon, and he has just landed beside Xion.
Tiamat:
“Xion! Where on Terra have you been?!”
Xion:
“I... was enjoying the view, Tiamat. Is something the matter?”
Tiamat:
“Well… you’re late for the party.”
Xion:
“Party? Are we celebrating something?”
Tiamat:
“Did you forget that too?! Today’s your birthday!”
Xion:
“My---WHAT?! Why didn’t you say so?!”
Tiamat:
“Let’s go then!”
Xion hopped on Tiamat’s back and they took off to the crimson skies. Both were silent along the way until, only a minute before arriving at the Grand Bastion, Tiamat broke the long, eerie silence…
Tiamat:
“I don’t blame you for forgetting about your birthday party. You never actually had one.”
Xion:
“Yeah, the war took many things away from us.”
Tiamat:
“Indeed… By the way, what were you doing back there?”
Xion:
“You mean on the sky road? I was just taking a look around.”
Tiamat:
“So?”
Xion:
“Tiamat, it was a beautiful sight…”
Tiamat:
“Crumbled buildings? Cripples? Stuff like that?”
Xion:
“No, no. I’m serious. For the first time, I could see people walking around smiling, happy…… and safe.”
Tiamat:
“Hmm… well, in an abstract sense, it is a beautiful sight.”
Xion:
“Hey! You’re starting to sound like sephiroth!”
It was only seconds after that and they finally arrived at the grand bastion. It is a gigantic building built in a mixture of gothic and modern styles and it is the residence of the royal family. During the war, it served as a shelter for the people of Zanarkand, hence the name “grand bastion”. Inside, Xion and Tiamat met Kuja, Xion’s younger brother, who was apparently waiting for them…
Kuja:
“About time you two got here…”
Tiamat:
“Hey! Don’t look at me!”
Kuja:
“Great! This is just great! I’m having two guys late for their birthday party… What’s the world coming to?”
Tiamat:
“Two guys? What do you mea……… ooooops!”
Xion:
“Now what were you saying about me forgetting my birthday, hmm?”
Tiamat:
“Well… um… go on!! Hey! What are you laughing at?!”
Kuja:
pffffff! This is rich <giggle> you guys are something from outta this world, he he!
