Persona 3: The Birth of A Hero

PROLOGUE

Hey you! Yes, you the person reading these very words sitting on a comfy chair or lying on a cozy bed unaware of the fate of the world. You're probably wondering what I meant by 'unaware'. You see, you may not be noticing it but we are not alone on earth, and no. I am not talking about aliens or unicorns or dragons or things like that but I'm talking about things that come from the deepest part of our beings, our dark alter egos. These things represent mankind's deepest and darkest wishes. We call them "Shadows".

You're probably wondering if there's any truth to any of the things I'm saying. It's true. I used to be like you before, oblivious to the hidden things of the night, but now that my friends and I have seen the things we have, I know the truth and I decided to share it with you. But I guess you're still thinking… "Who is this guy, anyway? Saying these things out of nowhere and saying it's the truth…" Come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself to you yet have I?

My name is Minato Arisato.

Remember it. And if you still have any doubts about what I told you, I have some proof to convince you. Remember those things I told you about, those Shadows? Well, my friends and I have the power to fight back. We are the only ones who can fend them off, don't worry we'll do that to the best of our abilities. And since you decided to read on and stay with me, I'm going to tell you our story. And if there is any chance that we don't live to see tomorrow, I'm counting on you to pass our story on and learn from it. Don't turn your back on me now, I'm counting on you.

Let's start shall we?
