CT Novel Excerpts
Welcome to the first edition of the Chrono
Trigger novel excerpts page! As the name suggests, on this page, you
will be treated to several selected excerpts scattered throughout the rough
draft of the novel that I have written only on paper and by hand. Please
understand that these excerpts are coming from a rough draft and that
they may be, at any time and with out notice, changed, revised, or removed from
the novel.
I also ask for your trust in that you
will not manipulate or reproduce these excerpts on any other site without
permission from me, the author. Thank you and enjoy!
"There are always those who find a suitable peace in
the simple realm of darkness. Sometimes our own jumbled stories are told
in our dreams, where anything can happen. Then there is the sudden tug
from reality..."
--Chapter 2: The Millennial Fair
"'`Tis a wretched figure...Nary 'tis its honoree worthy of
the stone twas carved from nor the breath of life he breathes...'"
--Frog in Chapter 4: The Queen is Gone
"'What's the matter with you people? Do you all have lard for
brains or is that just my observation...? Because I haven't done anything wrong!!!'"
--Crono in Chapter 7: Above the System
"Crono simply looked towards the ruins in the distance,
responding sagely, 'All you have to do is plant a seed...'"
--Chapter 8: Beyond the Ruins
"The imps proved to be very pleasant hosts to the strange
travelers. Soon, every leftover in the house was gone as they stuffed down bowls
of fern-leaf chili, plates of pitted cherries with pepper cream dip, slices of sugar
coated ham, and more plates of double layered apple cream pie. Admittedly, the
meal was a bit unusual, but sure beat the portions of giant, ash covered rat offered
in the future."
--Chapter 11: The Village of Magic
"From under the mystical veil stood the most hideous of all
known Mystics. Structured entirely by the bones of departed Mystics and humans,
a gargantuan, one-'eyed' monster skeleton stood ahead of them..."
--Chapter 12: The Hero Appears
"[Lucca] turned quickly. 'We made that victory!
Well, practically, anyway...Guardia would have lost nearly every involved soldier in
that battle. I remember it now...I've read about a battle in history where a
monster, described as a fire-breathing demon, "sent every good Knight to his
maker."' Crono and Marle were silent. 'Don't you see? The
Knight Captain and his men were, historically speaking, supposed to die there!
That second wave of men from the castle, after losing most of their lives, would've
"driven the demon to sea, where the waters tamed the beast and the victory was
sealed..."'"
--Chapter 12: The Hero Appears
"'Good sir,' began Crono, 'We are on a quest for the Hero,
whom we have heard was from this village. Can you help us to locate him?'
"'The Hero is, indeed, a boy from this village. Tata is
his name.'"
--Chapter 13: Tata to the Frog
"Lucca rolled up her olive sleeves and took hold of the dirt
soiled, mold laden rope ladder, stretching its old fibers with her weight, 'All
right then...Let's change history.'"
--Chapter 14: The Legendary Heroes?
There should be more to come as work on the novel continues.
Thanks!
