I think the Northern Sky Knights had dressed up as Southern Sky members to get close to Ovelia and set up a surprise attack on the church. Agrias, Gafgarion, and Ramza all go outside to quell the disturbance. They leave Ovelia inside with minimal protection (Que forshadowing here!). Outside they make little work of the few soliders and Agrias finds Gafgarion's tactics to be disturbing. He becomes a demon (not literally) on the battlefield, sparing no ones life. Meanwhile Agrias is dead set on protecting the princess, she just incapacitates her foes. Afterwards they here a scream from within the church. Aw darn, we forgot to protect the princess!
They run inside to see a knight clad in gold armor abduct Ovelia and ride off in a chocobo (which is a huge chicken-like mount). Agrias and Ramza are too far away before the man runs off the back entrance and flees. Ramza gets a good look at the man and becomes disturbed. He identifies the man as his long time friend Delita, which who he thought had been dead for years (more on that later). Delita takes one look back at Ramza before the scene fades away...while Agrias questions Ramza is he knows who that man was.
This is the setting in the timeline currently. The next chapter in the story takes place back when Ramza and Delita were younger and still best friends.
So that is basically thr opening scenes of the game. I gave you (the reader) a quick, yet pretty detailed backstory on some of the major story characters. Ovelia is the key to pretty much all the old men's plans. She isn't the rightful heir, but is viewed as the most important puzzle pieces to ruling the kingdom.
Why aren't Ramza and Delita friends anymore? What happened to their friendship? Why does Ramza think delita to be dead? What are Delita's intentions? Who is he working for, and why did he kidnap the princess?
All these answers and much more, when I decide to write again!
