Everybody knows Crono's adventures here at the Compendium, and I take it that the simplest way to describe it would be, "
Punk haired kid with a Katana he stole from god-knows-whom travels through time with his friends, learns magic and saves the world." But that's just from our perspective. But the biggest questions any writer would ask would be
what does the story look like from the eyes of the characters within it? Some people know what's going on, some people are involved in it, some be bystanders doing nothing but walking at the same spot 24/7.
And here I ask what the mindset of the people in the
Middle Ages would be. They never knew what Time Travel was, and they never knew if there was such a thing as awesome as
Science. All they knew was that if they left their houses demons would attack them, climb their windows, snatching their people up, so they gotta hide their kids, hide their wife, husbands, parents, grandparents, etc. and there was nobody they could trust. The Fiendlord waged war upon all humanity, a war against light and all that's good. People coward in fear, but one brave warrior and his trusty squire stood up to the demons with a
Take Me To Your Leader attitude. They fought their way, showed their worth, and turned the tables. Alas, the warrior died, the people lost all hope and the Fiendlord banged his chest and laughed, "Ima heerow, durr huurr hurrr!"
But then a miracle happened: The Fiendlord was defeated, and the demons fled to whence they came. 'Twas none other than the squire Glenn who took up the sword of the fallen, but it didn't end there. The person, who played a major role in the war, was whom they called
Sir Crono of Guardia. Nobody knew who this elusive, mysterious hero was and whence he came, except that this punk-haired messiah appeared from the heavens when darkness conquered, brought them light, and vanished without a trace. This immortal angel was there in the decisive war against the Reptites 65000000 years ago, and he also saw through the fall of a majestic kingdom till the end. And all the people knew that a time will come, when the sky becomes their destruction, when a great monster appears from the abyss threatening to send the planet into an apocalyptic wasteland, when all hope is lost,
Sir Crono will come and deliver his judgement before that happens. In his Fourth Coming, he shall defeat the Demon of Abyss called Lavos with a single swing of his Flaming/Rainbow Sword, then shall hold his hands high and call for Light (aka Luminaire), and all will be light again.
The story of this Holy Adventurer has been passed down since the Middle Ages in forms of paintings, poetry, books, plays, and especially (popular among the kids), the heroic retelling of
Sir Crono Facts.
So tell us how the legends of Sir Crono may have passed around throughout the Middle Ages! Here are a few examples:
