《Aether: The World Inside a Dream》Prologue
Advertisement
Inside a golden castle, hidden in a cave, a young redhead girl was staring at a big bed. She was sad, because the giant that was supposed to be sleeping forever, was now dead.
“I’m sorry father… If only I had arrived in time, things wouldn’t have come to the worst. You and my sister would be safe, as well the entire universe.”
She was regretful, remembering all the past events that happened a long, long time ago. If it wasn’t because of him, if it wasn’t because of those eyes… the future may have been different.
“Sis? Are you still here?” Asks a very known blond man approaching her.
“Bro? Why are you here? Wait, can it be…?”
“You’re right. The time for the chosen has come.” He smiles.
She opens her eyes wide in surprise.
“Really…? Then I’ll finally see him!” Like magic, all her sadness is turned into joy. Clearly, she would feel that way, after all, the moment she longed for has come. The one capable of ending this conflict and preventing chaos on both worlds has appeared.
The man sighs, though.
“I know that Moros’ plan specify that the hero will be the one you pick, but are you really sure that boy is the one? Because… I can’t see much in him… And also, there is still time for you to pick again, in case you change your mind.”
She frowns, irritated.
“What, are you telling me I don’t have good taste?”
“Eh… It’s not that, sister, is just that he’s a below average human, you know? The only features that stand out in him are his knowledge in games and his libido… And even so, I can’t see much use in both of these traits, for our purpose.”

“Tch, I really don’t care if you like him or not. I see potential in him, and this is all that matters. Hurry up and proceed with the ritual.”
He once again sighs, but with a smile. He knew about the potential she was talking about, he just wanted to make sure of it.
