This is my first fanfiction! All reviews and comments are very much welcomed so that I can later better my work… but please don't be too harsh… I'm fragile. No I'm just kidding. Do your worst! But complaints about the pairings will not be tolerated!

Authors note: I do not own Dark Cloud, but I really wish I did so there could be pairing… All rights go to Level 5 media, and Sony Entertainment.

In the beginning…

I remember hearing stories about the first time that the Dark Genie appeared in our lands.

That was over 400 years ago…

There was a bitter war being fought between the western continent and our eastern continent.

I agreed that the war back then needed to be fought, but then, I didn't agree on there being a need to spill so much blood.

We had our wizards and our soldiers, and we had the upper hand.

Then our forces were blown away in one fell swoop.

I couldn't believe it at first when I was told this story myself, but then again, I was young and stupid.

The Dark Genie came and wiped out most of the world, and neither of our continents could do anything to stop it.

Those fools of the west had no idea the powers which they had tampered with.

Thank the gods for the Moon People…

With our combined efforts, the Dark Genie was sealed inside a large urn with the magic of the Moon People, and our world was allowed to recover after such a harsh blow.

Now everything is so peaceful, and it's hard to imagine that such a thing had ever truly happened.

In fact, I highly doubt that any of that story ever really happened, and it was exactly that:

A story, a fairy tale. I guess I'm just as dumb as I was the first time that I heard this story that I am now.

Although knowledge and wisdom had come upon me with age, I didn't want to...

No…

I refused to believe that the fairy tale of the Dark Genie ever really happened.

So when that creature of evil came back to life, I was just as surprised as everyone else…

Let me tell you my story... and how it all began...

A book was found in some old ruins. All the scholars who decoded it puzzled over the mystery of this book.

A world with two moons illuminating the sky...

The many dazzling adventures of a young boy...

But whether or not this is a true story...

Do you believe in the story woven in the book?

Maybe its a fantasy that existed only in a boy's heart...

Let me tell you the story.

This ancient book tells of a magical, and magnificent

fairy tale...

And the hero of this wonderous tale... who's name is...

Forever...

I used the beginning of the game for the ending because I have yet to see anyone use it. I thought it was a great way to tie my beginning together.

Whew... my first fanfiction, ever, done. All for those who think this is easy... it is way the opposite. Being a writter is the hardest job in the world,

with the only paycheck being in words, which are usually cold and harsh.

Level 5 please don't sue me...

Chapters will be up soon. Please review!!

Thank you for reading!!!
