This is my third piece of fan fiction that I have wrote and have been vastly improved upon due to helpful criticisms I have recieved from those who have been kind enough to contact me about it. Hence, I am now able to produce a product that is superior to my previous which is the fan fiction, "The White Knight."
:::Disclaimer:::
Any character names used within the piece, do not reflect anyone who may have that exact same name on the boards or in-game. I did not go out and simply pick names off of ffxionline.com when I was considering my characters. Please do not get offended if your name comes up as it was not intended.
So far in this piece I have produced a prologue which I will list below. Within the next few days chapter one and two will be produced and posted here. If there are no replies to this thread a few days after chapter two is posted I will cease posting it as I would come to think that no one is interested in the story.

Darkness had covered the land in death and despair. It seemed bleak; there was no escape. At first, only the Grand Duchy of Jeuno was destroyed but the destructive forces would eventually turn on the other kingdoms. It was necessary for any mortal to take up arms and fight to protect those that they love and care about.
The fighting ensued but it was a meaningless effort. Although, allied forces were able to defend their respective kingdoms, to a point, but they could never defeat any enemy stronghold. The Orcish forces were too strong, their machines of war couldn't be defeated. Countless mortals, whether they were Hume, Elvaan, Tarutaru, Mithra or Galka were massacred.
For almost 5 years the terror of the Orcs onslaught was deep in the hearts of the people. You would fall asleep one night and not wake up the next. It was a horrible time to live in the world of Vana'diel.
There was a group of six young mortals, who lived most of their late childhoods in this fear and had just become at an age where they could defend themselves. Little did these individuals know, they would become heroes and be remembered as legends. They were; Sempher, Donnovan, Ansem, Setrof, Sarah and Vincent.
Sempher is an Elvaan that took up the practice of the warrior. In his youth, he wielded toy swords and fought with his childhood friends. Not many could defeat him and that continued into his adulthood. In fact, during the epic quest to defeat the Orcish forces, it was said that he killed almost 10,000 Orcs -- a number no one ever came close to matching.
Donnovan is a Galka who was originally from Bastok. During his youth, he labored continually in the Mithril mines, as per his fathers orders. As a result, his muscles developed at a young age and his strength is formidable. Donnovan realized it would be best to take up the role of a Monk. While he didn't put up the number of Orcs killed that Sempher did, he played an invaluable role nonetheless.
Ansem is a Hume who moved to San'Doria, to live with Sempher when he was very young. It was necessary for him to do this because his parents went missing and never returned. Fortunately, due to his skills with a sword, Sempher took him in. Although, Ansem didn't take the warrior path, he decided to become a Red Mage. Ansem didn't like the idea of merely fighting and not being able to protect himself properly. This is the major reason behind becoming a Red Mage -- he could fight with his trusty sword and cast magic effectively to protect himself when the need arose.
Setrof is a Tarutaru that is surrounded in a complete mystery. Ansem was the one who found Setrof initially and introduced him to Sempher. When Setrof was asked where he was from, he refused to respond. The only thing he dispensed was that he was a Tarutaru Black Mage. At first, there was mixed feelings on whether or not he should be trusted, however, Sempher took the risk and trusted the young mage. Fortunately, that risk paid off and he is the only one in Vana'diel with the ability to cast the high level magic spell, Flare. This ability was key in defeating the Orcish forces.
Sarah is the lone female in the party that defeated the Orcish forces. Also, she was the only one from Windurst and a Tarutaru, obviously. For all of her childhood, she studied in a structure called Heaven's Tower. That structure is in Windurst where mages train day in and day out to become potent in the art. Not only did she possess the ability to cast high level healing magic, but she is the only one in Vana'diel capable of casting Holy.
Vincent, like Setrof, refuses to tell where he came from. Also, similarly like Setrof, he was an invaluable asset. Even to this day, Vincent is the sole Bard in all of Vana'diel. The Bard, while he only sings, can be incredibly useful in keeping the party energy high and key to success in any battle.
It has been 10 years since the Orcish forces were defeated. Ansem has come out with some details on what they fought but it has been kept to a minimum. It is the general impression, that the people shouldn't worry about what had happened and focus on their future. This has what has been preached and this is what has been done.
Recently, however, Ansem hasn't been in San'Doria to answer questions to the public and has been on long excursions. When he returns, he hasn't given a reason. This has made everyone uneasy but he assures us that there is nothing to worry about.
There must be some reason to Ansem's excursions, but that is not the purpose of this story. The purpose of this story is to show the upcoming events through the eyes of a Tarutaru, Brian. His parents died during the Orcish conflict and he is now 22 years of age. He lives with his Uncle in the Tarutaru capital of Windurst.
The mighty has had their time to go into the history books with their epic tales; those of a smaller nature have been ignored. It is time to show the world that even the smallest of creatures can make the largest of differences.
