Winter Born

A Star Ocean 2 Story

This all started when I was at a Cruxshadows concert. Their new EP, Frozen Embers, had just come out and I had yet to get my hands on a copy, but I'd heard a short MP3 sample of their new single, Winter Born.

Feel free to check out the lyrics to Winter Born. The Cruxshadows need all the support they can get and I'm not willing to provide a sample.

Now for the standard disclaimers: I do not own Star Ocean 2. I do not own Rena Lanford. I do not own Gabriel/Indalecio. If I did, Gabriel would not be the bastard he is on the game. *sigh* Anyway, don't sue me. I don't have any money.

I finally finished the novella! Whee!

I'm updating each chapter to make the story longer and to add a bit more explanation to parts that I feel need it. I will only touch on the history of the Sages in this one. A full history of the sages will be in the prequel, Rage Of The Seraphs.

Chapters 1-5
Chapters 6-10
Chapters 11-15
Chapters 16-20
Chapters 21-25
Chapters 26-30
Chapters 31-35
Chapters 36-40
Chapters 41-42

For a brief, and I do mean brief, history on how I view the Ten Sages, or at least several of them, drop on over to my Villains portion of the SO2 section.

If you are curious about the title of the story, the lyrics to Winter Born by The Cruxshadows should explain quite a bit.
