“Five years..
                 Five long years, stuck in what I can only explain in words as purgatory.â€
Before you is a large weather beaten and worn journal.
The first entry is written clearly, and neatly.
Entry One:Â Purgatory
The last thing I remember is seeing her sit up but was it a trick of my mind? I can’t be sure considering how distraught I was. I remember speaking to her just before everything went to hell and Bahamut unleashed his wrath, but I can’t even be sure she is okay. It seems I have awakened in a world that looked very much similar to our own. At first I couldn't tell anything was different. As time went by I started to notice things were not right.Â
I awoke to a fog covered landscape. It was as if everything had a fine mist over it. I looked around as things started to form in the mists. I called out hoping to be greeted by someone I knew, one of my tribesmen or even my lover. The only response I was greeted with was the business end of a gunblade. My body moved of its own will, my hand finding one of the many daggers I hand on, and let it fly like a screaming arrow through the mist. I was rewarded with a bloody spray and the last sounds of a man dying. My mind raced as went to search the fallen person. It was a Garlean solider; my thoughts quickly went to the worst scenario. Did the Garleans win? Why were they out here, could they be searching for survivors? I searched his person, and took his rations, and his supplies. It wasn't long before the sounds of more footsteps seemed to grow closer, as well as the sound of heavy machina. I ran into the mists hoping I would somehow be able to find my bearing and figure out just exactly where in the seven hells I was.Â
Oh, how I couldn't have been more wrong. As I ran, the mists seem to thin out, finally giving way to a view that looked very familiar. It would seem at first that I was still on the same battlefield from that night. Every instinct I had told me this place had something very wrong about it.  As I made it into the clearing in front of me the mists seemed to vanish all at once, leaving me in the wide open plains, underneath that damn red moon. It's accursed glow bathing the entire landscape in an eerie red, foreshadowing the blood that was destined to be spilled. A moment later, the screams of war, overwhelmed my senses. With my ears folded down, I scanned the scene unfolding out before me. This was the battle that happened that fateful night.
What did I do to deserve this nightmare...
The writing trails off...
