Hello, everyone!

Moonfire here. ;)

And so, I created a new character far greater than Symphony. She has her own conflicts but this story will be following the game as well because I love the game better than the anime.

Do give me reviews and criticisms. I'm open for both.

Hope you guys can enjoy this as far as it goes. - (May 22, 2017)

Prologue

I sat up immediately, eyes darting around. My hearts beat fast as I tried to catch my breath. It seemed like forever since I woke up. My head stung so hard that I felt like banging it on the wall. I observed my surrounding, realizing that I was not familiar with the room. I was on a bed, in a room with a single table and a chair. A small makeup table could be seen at one corner. A knock on the door was heard. I kept my mouth shut but it was opened anyway. A woman, wearing a priestess uniform came in with a plate of some sort of food.

"You're finally awake," she said to me.

She placed the food on the table. "You passed out for quite sometime. The Commandant was really worried," she explained.

"Commandant?" I muttered.

The priestess stared at me. She seemed like she was confused why I sounded so confused. Just who is this Commandant? Does he know me? Are we related?

"You poor thing. Don't worry. Once you've eaten I'm sure you'll be back on your feet," the priestess said, hugging me.

I took a glimpse of her. She gave out a familiar vibe. As I try to recall, my head started to hurt again. I cringed in pain. The woman helped me up to the table to eat the food she brought with her. It was roasted meat.

"My name is Liana, if you're wondering," she said, excusing herself.

"Wait," I called and she turned. "Can you...at least tell me my name?"

She smiled at me. "Rianne, that is your name," she muttered.

"Rianne..." I stared at myself through the reflection on the window beside me.

My blonde hair was in wreck, a visible scar on my right cheek and my dark purple eyes as mysterious as can be. Just who the heck am I? As I was deep in my thoughts, my door was pushed opened. A pink haired girl came running in. I blinked as she wrapped her arms around me.

"Ree! I'm glad you're okay!" she bawled.

"Uhh..." I mumble.

A boy in white can be seen at my door. He had a very soft smile. You feel calm just looking at it.

"Now, now, Arietta, Ree has just woken up. She has a lot preparations to do," he said to the girl.

"But, Ion-sama...I missed Ree so much!" she complained.

She walked up to the bed and sat there with the one she called 'Ion'. I ate my food quietly, ignoring them. Ion was trying to make Arietta leave me alone but she seemed to be refusing it. She kept on saying she wanted to play with and listen to my stories. What stories exactly? I tried to recall again.

"By the way, Rianne...Van is requesting you to see him once you're ready," Ion said.

"Van? Who?" I asked.

Arietta and Ion widened their eyes at me. They tried to act calm but I knew they were confused. Their faces said it all. I listened as he explained who I was and what had happened to me before I passed out. After an accident during my mission, I passed out for three months. Ion didn't say what the accident was but he did say that it involved my parents and my household. When I was done with the food, they left me. I made my way to the wardrobe where Ion mentioned that Liana prepared my uniform there. There were also a shoulder holster and a pair of kukris as well. I took them all.

"Lieutenant Rianne!" some Oracle Knights called me.

I turned to see them and they saluted me. I nodded to them. They pointed me towards Van's office. Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door.

"Come in," a woman's voice was heard.

I stepped in when the door was pulled open. A man was behind the desk and beside him was a blonde woman. She must be his right-hand man or advisor, I thought. He was busy with some paperwork but the woman kept her eyes on me.

"Lorelai has blessed you, seeing that you woke up after that explosion," she said to me.

"Quite so," I sounded confident all of a sudden.

The woman smiled and nodded to me. Van whispered some things to her. She nodded, walking up to me. Her right hand gestured towards a table. Liana was serving tea as we sat down. The woman sipped on her cup of tea.

"Liana explained that you forgot who you are?" she started.

"Most of memories were lost," I replied, drinking my tea.

"Then, I shall fill you in. My name is Legretta and you are Rianne. We are both God Generals, the strongest Oracle Knights there are. There are some more to be recruited but now it is just us, Dist and Largo. Asch is showing potential too. He was about to replace you," she explained.

"Interesting. Would you at least explain my duty too?" I requested.

She nodded and said, "You command the fourth division for the Oracle Knights. Your job consists of patrolling Daath, the nobles and conducting missions from the Commandant."

"Legretta, I'm off to see the Fon Master," Van said.

His long hair sent shivers down my spine. Legretta stood up and nodded to him. She sat back down and explained a little bit of my background. I was born from a noble family and the heirloom to the family's treasure. My age is now sixteen. Legretta also told me that a lot of my uncles and aunts were looking for me but my father entrusted me to Van instead. My father was Van's trusted companion. She told me he died because he covered for me during ab explosion.

"I supposed you forgot your artes as well?" she asked.

"Artes?" I stared confusedly at her.

"Artes are skills you develop yourself. You can start studying about Fonons again," she said to me.

She showed me to the library. A books were stacked right in front of me. Legretta told me to finish them all and start my training the next day. She reminded me that I was a Lieutenant, so I have to be one. A couple of knights saw me but they only saluted me. How am I supposed to understand everything in one day? I grunted as my hand reached for the first book. Arietta came in, grabbed a chair and sat next to me. She brought a book with her. She started to scribble some alphabets in there.

"Ree..." she called me in a squeaky voice.

"Hmm?" I turned to her.

"Will you sing me this song. You always sing it to me," she muttered.

She started to sing some words that I didn't understand but somehow, it was very calming. Arietta started to write the lyrics down so that I could sing it with her. We started to sing quietly and I forgot about my studies. We slept together that night because Arietta said she was lonely.

A week has passed and I was back to normal as Legretta had said. I assisted Ion as requested by Van. I trained the Oracle Knights like I used to. Van would not let me out yet because he was worried that I would easily got lost. I became closer to Arietta; Ion said that she was always attached to me. She told me about her families once again, even promised to introduce me to her Mommy. Legretta trained me an hour each day. Largo and Dist would fight me as well. They used 'keeping me in shape' as an excuse. I swear they just want to pick on me.

"Your skills are improving. Your fonic artes are stronger than before," Van complimented me.

"Thanks," I said to him.

"I'm going to Kimlasca to see a friend and train his son. Would you like to come with me?" he offered.

"Really?" I was in doubt of his sudden offer.

"I would like you to meet him and train with him too," he explained.

I took the offer and we were soon on a boat to Kimlasca. When it stopped at the port, Van said I could look around. He would send someone for me. I was happy when he left me to roam around. I felt like a long time since I was out. Merchants were selling their merchandises at a very not-so reasonable price. They are all super expensive to be honest.

"Hey, are you Rianne?" a man's voice was heard.

I turned to see a blonde guy, standing 10 metres away from me. He greeted me with a bow. He has a sword with him and a pleasant aura. He told me Van sent him to fetch me. We took an elevator to the Duke Fabre's manor. When I got there, he showed me to the training grounds where Van was training Luke fon Fabre. I watched Van trained him some basic moves.

"Ah, Rianne! You're here," he said to me.

"Commandant," I greeted him.

"Who's her, Master Van?" the redhead asked him.

"This is Rianne, one of my subordinates. She will be training you for a few weeks," he said to him.

"What?! No! I don't want anyone else but you!" Luke complained.

What a brat. I don't want to be stuck with him. I rolled my eyes at the whining kid. He is just a couple of years older than me. Kind of spoilt in my opinion. Van tried to comfort him with kind words about me. He kept on saying he wanted no on but Van or Guy, the guy who was sent to get me.

"I guess it can't be helped," Van sighed.

"So?" I asked him.

"I'll train him. You would have to run some errands for me," he said to me.

"I'm okay with that," I replied.

Van nodded. We went back to Daath after dinner. I met the Duke and his wife. They were very welcoming. Guy was kind of cool too, even though he has a phobia of woman. Luke is as bratty as always when Van was about to leave. What a kid.

Van made his way straight to the Fon Master's room one we stepped into the cathedral. I shrugged it off and went straight to my room. Arietta was there, sleeping soundly in my bed. I smiled at the girl. Changing into my nightdress, I slipped in beside and went to bed.

I was awaken by a cry. I opened my eyes to see Arietta down on her knees, crying out loud. I pulled her into a hug. She kept on calling Ion's name. I couldn't bring myself to understand what was happening. After leaving Arietta with Liana, I made my way to Van's office. He was alone at the time.

"Why was she revoked from being Ion's guardian?!" I shouted.

"Calm down. It was Ion's final wish. He wanted her under my care," he explained calmly.

"Final wish? What do you mean?" I demanded.

"Fon Master Ion died last night. The Ion you saw was a replica, the seventh one," he said to me.

"What?" I was shocked.

He stood up and walked up to me with a smile. He said, "Care to join me on a mission?"

I raised a brow. We were at an old library in the cathedral. He opened a secret path to a volcano. He explained that he was going to recruit someone. I had no idea what he meant until I caught sight of a boy, about Ion's age. He looked just like Ion and it freaked me out. Van told me that he was one of the replicas casted off here as 'failures'. When he saw us, he tried to attack us. I took out my kukris but Van told me to stand down. He went to talk to the boy. I didn't hear what he said, but the boy obediently followed him. I saw him placing a seal on his back. He was brought to me.

"His name is Sync and he will be under your care," Van explained.

"Okay...but why?" I asked him.

"You and him are quite similar: he lost his identity and you lost your memories," Van said, smirking.

The boy was given a hood to cover his face as we sneaked him into the cathedral. He was brought to my room. I got his measurement and started on his uniform. His eyes was glued on me. I felt uneasy. He is Ion's replica. Ion, a great friend of mine...and Arietta'a precious person.

"Hey..." he called.

"Yes?" I looked up at him and landed on his pure green eyes.

"How should I cover my face?" he asked.

I walked up to my drawer and took out a mask. I told him it was from Van and he wanted him to wear it. When I was done with his uniform, I told him to put it on. He dropped his tattered robe with his back facing me. I could see the seal on his back clearly. What is Van thinking to do with this boy? He is like a newborn who doesn't know anything about this world...just like me. Van was right. We are similar.

"How do I look?" he asked me.

"Like a knight should. Here, let me do your hair," I offered.

He sat down on the bed. I filled my hands with some hair gel. I started to work on his hair. We can't have him looking like Ion at all, so I decided on some spikes for him. He looked cooler than Ion would. If only my friend Ion could see this. We would laugh about it for a few days. I understood how Arietta felt, losing something she holds on to. Feelings hands on my arms, I snapped back to reality. Sync was starring at me.

"Water's coming out of your eyes," he said.

"They are called tears. I guess I'm more affected than I think..." I explained to him.

"So you're the original's friend too? Why help me?" he asked, snickering.

"Van's orders are absolute. I can't disobey him," I told him.

"So you're Van's dog, huh?" he said.

Where is all the confidence coming from. I couldn't see his eyes but he had a smug on his face. This kid is more dangerous than I think he would be. I shook my head at the thoughts and kept my eyes on him. He was looking around my room now.

"So...what should I call you?" he asked.
