I slowly opened my eyes and didn't know if I was dreaming or if I was awake. Everything seemed so familiar, I wondered what all of this was, and yearned for something. I wasn't quite sure what I was yearning for. Visions continued to fill me with yearning, and wonderment till they finally came to a halt when a woman of around 20 years filled my vision at first I was looking at her, she had long white hair that reached her lower back, beautiful amethyst colored eyes, a two piece outfit the consisted of the colors white and a maroon, brown stockings, and white shoes. After I took in her appearance a new vision filled my eyes and I heard a small sight coming from the beautiful women.

Then I heard different voices call out, "Iris! Iris!"

I turned towards the voices and saw three men looking directly at me, I looked down and I saw myself in the body of the woman that had filled my vision before. "Are you okay, Iris?" asked the teen with wildly styled pink hair.

"Wake up! You can't take the enemy lightly. If you don't concentrate you will fall," said the guy with lightly colored brown haired, and brown eyes.

Next to speak was the blond guy, with blue eyes, "They call him the 'Lord of Terror.'"

Next I felt my lips move on their own accord, "And 'Emperor of Madness, a fallen corrupted being," my voice or more than likely Iris's voice was incredibly melodious.

I could feel pain coming from Iris, she had wounds that had probably come from a previous battle.

That's when I heard a roar and saw the most horrendous monster I have ever seen, it looked like hell itself. . "Immortal being exiled from Heaven and Hell," Iris said as she readied her bow and took aim, "my quest and journey was just for this moment. I will defeat you no matter what it takes!" As soon as she finished saying that a blue arrow was launched from her bow, it went straight to the monster and landed right on. Despite it being on target it didn't do much damage. Iris eyes widen as she saw that her attack had hardly done any damage, but with this I could feel more determination coming from within Iris.

"Iris! Get out of there!" I heard someone yell.

As I heard this I saw lightning coming straight for Iris(me), I felt Iris move to the right just as the attack struck the ground. The heat from the attack radiated strongly, and I had no doubt in mind that, that attack could have seriously have harmed Iris. "I'll have to strike back somehow," Iris whispered to herself. She readied her next attack carefully taking aim, I saw that the arrow this time took on a bright red, that glowed strongly. The arrow flew faster than the previous one too and landed right on target, but like the previous attack it didn't do much damage. "It's not working, why?" Iris asked. As soon as she finished asking this she saw more lightning coming our way, but it was coming too fast to move so Iris took guard. Despite taking guard when the lightning stuck Iris, I could feel the lightning spread through her body, the pain was unbearable, it felt like I was getting stabbed by a million needles. I wanted the pain to end so badly, when it did I could feel that it had done a lot of damage to Iris. "I defended myself, but what is this damage?" Iris asked with a shaky voice.

The Demon King roared out, "If you could overcome my attack with that tiny body, I wouldn't deserve to be called the Demon King!"

Then I heard a voice ask, "Are you ok? The beast's attack can neutralize our magic defense be careful!" Iris turned slightly towards the voice and I could see it had been the guy with blond hair and blue eye who had spoken.

Those words gave Iris courage to stand up again, she rose shakily to her feet. I could still feel the stabbing pain that was left behind from previous attack, "I can barely move," Iris said more to herself than anyone else. My admiration for Iris kept growing, and I hoped with all my heart that Iris would come out triumphant in this battle.

"Meaningless! Now, give up!" he roared, as he said this he seemed to be charging for his next attack.

"Iris!" yelled out the guy with wild pink hair.

Next to talk was the guy with blond hair and blue eyes, "Iris, you can't render damage to him with normal attacks. Change your attack type!" he yelled, then Iris eyes locked with blue eyes, "Focus on your original being, think about what you have learned so far during this journey!"

As he finished saying that, I felt power coming within Iris, "Muwen, Kazno, my friends and my enemies. Yes I know it," as she said that, her power kept increasing more and more, soon it stopped and she took aim towards the Demon King. Iris whispered out an incantation, "Light of the Derr clan." When the incantation was over, she aimed carefully towards the Demon King and shot, "That is it." Iris said. The arrow flew and at first I thought that Iris had missed, that arrow had gone above the Demon King, soon arrows started raining from that one arrow and starting going through the Demon King. Iris started laughing, while panting and trying to catch up her breath.

"GRRR, this power it can't be true!" the Demon King yelled out in pain.

"This is it," Iris said in a declarative voice that made me believe that she was right.

"Stupid!" The Emperor of Madness roared out, as he yelled this his body was being torn apart and as the pieces of his body slowly disappeared. "You fool! Child of Derr Clan...," he didn't get to finish his last words as he had completely disappeared.

Iris stood for a little while longer, soon I felt warm tears running down her eyes. I could feel waves of grief coming from Iris, and the pain from before started burning again. It was so unbearable, I felt Iris close her eyes slowly and I felt like I was falling; the last thing I heard before seeing complete darkness was Iris's body falling to the floor.

"Friends who protect her, people who love her, people who blame her, and," as I said this I was once again seeing Iris, and saw some light pieces start scattering across the sky and fly away in various directions, "and her memories." There was something about Iris that made me want to learn more about her, her thoughts her memories, and her pain. Knowledge that I had gained from being in Iris's body made me know that this was going to be the start of my journey.

Well that's my prologue, hopefully it isn't too confusing didn't know quite well how to put this battle into words. : ) Anyways Latale, Muwen, Iris, The Demon King, Kazno, and Levi don't belong to me, they were just borrowed and also this was all taken from the beginning story of Latale. I still need to work some quirks to make this Latale game work like a story but I will manage. If you are reading this and see any mistakes please don't be afraid to tell me. Hopefully it's also half as enjoyable as the other stories my guildies are writing. Latale belongs to Actozsoft not me :P.
