Zed up 1 level, Lihp 2

After the defeat of 2 bontaurs and a tyranosaur, I achieved higher levels all around. The highlights of course being Zed and Lihp, who achieved the best of abilities. Zed was initially unequipped, so I proceeded to equip him with the Paladin series of weaponry (the best). However, then I proceeded to fight one more brontaur after taking the proper potions and such. Two brontaurs then unexpectedly appeared, cast meteor in succession, and caused my entire party to perish. This song was then played I think:

Oh my hero, so far away now.
Will I ever see your smile?
Love goes away, like night into day.
It's just a fading dream...
I'm the darkness, you're the stars.
Our love is brighter than the sun.
For eternity, for me can there be, only you, my chosen one...
Must I forget you?
Our solemn promise?
Will autumn take the place of spring?
What shall I do?
I'm lost without you.
Speak to me once more!
We must part now. My life goes on.
But my heart won't give you up.
Ere I walk away, let me hear you say.
I meant as much to you...
So gently, you touched my heart.
I will be forever yours.
Come what may, I won't age a day.
I'll wait for you, always...

Those are the actual lyrics, according to some source that I don't care to look into, of a song in the game. I want to believe this of course, so I don't want to find out that an over-zealous fan made up their own lyrics (as you've been known to do).

I was afraid to save the game. Yes, that's right, I didn't want to "mess-up" your game, an anxiety that has been programmed into me, and will likely stay with me forever. After sitting and thinking about the fact that I was seriously hesistant to save the game, I wondered if I could be programmed in other ways. This particular programming has lasted over 10 years, so what's to say... oh forget it.

Just enjoy the nostalgic (and sonic) overload Steven.

I'm going to be playing the Fantasy Star series over X-Mas.
