Chapter 1: "Brother, I shall avenge your death!"
            ------------------------------------------------

It was raining in Zozo again.  Akfek had been drinking all night - already
twenty cups of beer.  Ever since Emperor Gestahl had perished, he had
been wandering.  Akfek had enlisted into Emperor Gestahl's army at the
same time his brother had.  His brother. though,  succeeded much faster
than him - his brother had more potential and was favored by Emperor
Gestahl.  Nonetheless, his brother was dead now.  After the final battle
with Terra and the Returners, his brother had not been heard from again.

"Why. brother, why did you leave me?"

Akfek lifted his body and clumsily left the Tavern.  As he walked
outside, he could feel the rain pouncing on his head.  He never
understood why his brother ignored him.  "Why. brother, how could you
ignore your only brother?"  Ever since his brother drained power from all
the espers and succeeded in controlling the famed statues, he had ignored
him - based on the claim that Akfek was useless and had no potential.  A
drop of rain poured down his nose and trickled into mid-air.  Lighting
and thunder hung from above.

"I shall show you, brother - I am not useless as you believe I am."
Akfek smirked.  He knew he was an ordinary soldier with limited fighting
abilities; he knew he could not even defeat the weakest of the
Returners.  But he would not give up.  His goal was to conqueur this
world.

"I shall avenge your death, Kefka.  Yessss, I shall destroy all those who
killed you - I shall rip apart your foes!  Although I am weak now, I
will become strong and I will take vengeance for you!  One day, I will
trample over this world - nobody shall mess with you or me again!  I live
to hear the townspeople scream in agony once more.  Ha..ha..haaa..haaaaaaa..."
