You had lost them both

Summary

In the land of Exatron, you live in the Exatronia capital with your parents, Raziell and Angells. Soon tragedies will befall you.
A short fan prequel to the game Exatron Quest: L'Épée de Sang, where YOU are the main character. I named the hero's father because he isn’t named in the game.

You had lost them both

In the land of Exatron, you live in the Exatronia capital with your parents, Raziell and Angells. While Angells is an adventurer with powerful magic powers, Raziell is just a simple peasant. That didn't stop them from loving each other, procreate you and starting a family.

Your childhood was blissful and you dreamed of becoming a great adventurer like your mother, until that fateful night. You were 10 years old and that night is eternally engraved in your memory.

Your parents had to leave home. They had to help King Ernest save the world by fighting the powerful Demon King. You knew your mother had traveled with the king and had adventures with him, but to go fight the Demon King, the ultimate evil? It was madness. Your father wasn't even a warrior!

You begged them, crying, but Raziell and Angells left the house. They had left you alone. You had waited, for hours, and finally, only your mother had returned. Your father, Raziell, had died in battle.

King Ernest and his companions had given your father a lordly funeral, but it had not filled the void in your heart. That was five years ago. With the Demon King defeat, peace returned to Exatron. However, King Ernest has been missing for some time. No one knows where he is or if he is still alive. As for his companions, they too have disappeared, except for your mother Angells. 

Now 15 years old, you are ready to fulfill your childhood dream of becoming a great adventurer, but another tragedy befalls you. On a cold winter night, your elderly mother died of a serious illness. No magician or healer could cure her. It was as if Angells had received a curse from the Demon King.

You have no parents, no family. Your grief is inconsolable. You are wandering outside the Exatronia capital, not knowing what to do with your life. What's the point of being an adventurer now, if your parents are no longer there to be proud of you?

What you don't know is that you will soon meet a mysterious woman who will turn your life upside down. You'll have to save the world in spite of yourself! But this story is for another time. 


Author's comment: A big thanks to the wranglers for canonizing "Exatron Quest (Video Game)"! I love adding new Fandoms to AO3.
