Hello you have stumbled on to a humble Tales of Symphonia fan Fiction.

With out further ado let the story begin

I own none of this except my OCs

Beginnings

Expectations…

Yeah a lot is expected of me, son of the great Lloyd and Colette Irving saviors of the world. I'm expected to fix peoples problems and act like my parents. This puts me in a bind when I do something uncharacteristic to my parents. For that reason alone I dislike doing things in the norm. Most kids would love to be in my position. Getting treated like a hero even if you haven't done anything, getting tons of attention from peers and adults. I honestly want to get that kind of attention and praise from my own actions. My sister seems to like the treatment though. I…

Uhh…Damnit, I lost my train of thought!

"Seth Irving, we're waiting" The teacher said "pass your writing assignment up to the front please."

"Yes Professor Raine."

Seth handed up his incomplete paper to his teacher.

"And yet another half finished assignment" Raine sighed "this is the 5th one this week and its Wednesday."

Seth merely looked strait ahead as if she said nothing.

"Oh, no comeback? Not even an excuse?" Raine questioned.

"The fact that I have issues on completing my assignments and projects is already known and acknowledged and I have no excuse to offer due to the fact that if I made an excuse you would simply berate me more on said excuse, thus further halting class and in doing so impeding the other student education." He replied robotically.

His teacher blanked, "you thought that over quite well."

"Keeps me from being bored" he stated.

Yeah, that's my life. Oh and for the guys who don't know already I'm Seth, I have blonde mid length hair and brown eyes. I'm about ohh say 5"10 and look kinda like my dad sept for the hair and I do not wear red with suspenders, I do not!!! I wear blue without suspenders.

The school bell rang and the students filed out of the class room with Seth closely following. He glanced to the back of the classroom and an auburn haired girl in the back who was carrying buckets stirred.

Seth walked over to her and nudged her.

"Lainey wake up class is over"

"Ugnn… five more minutes"

"Lainey, I've got cookies."

"Cookies!" She bounced up and down "cookiescookiescookiescookiescookiescookiescookiescookiescookiescookiescookiesCOOOOKKKKIEEESS"

Seth slapped him self in the head. To think she's my sister

"Good your up, lets go home." He told his hyperactive sister, "and moms making cookies."

"But you said you had the cookies" she wined.

"I lied, now lets go" Seth abruptly turned around and walked out of the class room.

Raine saw the two nearing the exit "Seth, I almost forgot happy 16th birthday!"

Seth glanced back at his teacher "you're coming to the party at my house this afternoon right?"

"Wouldn't miss it for the world, your dad throws the best parties"

He waved goodbye and exited the school.

Iselia became a very popular place after the worlds where reconnected. Bustling streets, bazaars, and a major political center made up this once small village. Iselia became on the greatest political powers on the continent.

Seth took the scenic route through the city, remembering that he had to pick up something for his dad. Here Seth's "fame" shows the most. People he didn't know waved at him, girls swooned at his presence. All he did was put on a fake smile to please the populous. Lainey however was smiling, waving, engaging in pointless conversation. Well at least she's happy. Seth decided to ditch Lainey and take the shortcut home after he picked up a package for his dad. Walking through the back alleys a young boy stood in front of him. Seth stopped, looked at the boy then looked behind him where 4 more boys stood, turned back to the first boy to find a another that looked about Seth's age. An Eerie silence is all that followed.

"Happy birthday leader!" They said in unison.

Seth smiled, "Heavenly Demons status report"

The youngest of the group came forward, "all schedules are free and gifts picked out for celebration for founder's birthday sir!"

"Girl's locker room combination still unknown sir!"

"You're giving these kids really bad jobs sir!" the eldest said.

"I know that Ein but it's for a good cause." Seth laughed.

"Dismissed" Seth ordered, and the gang members walked away.

Ein stayed "sixteen eh? And how long have we been friends?"

"Since we were 5 years old" Seth replied "11 years."

"Seems just yesterday when we first met" Ein said "remember when you …" he tapered off

"Well I gotta get back; I've got a package for my dad."

"I'll see you at the party"

"Yeah see ya."

Seth was at the northern gate waiting for Lainey, who took her sweet time talking to every fan of hers. When she caught up, the two siblings headed home.

Walking through the northern forest they approached their house. Lainey ran ahead of Seth "hi mom we're back"

"Oh, how was school today."

"it was really interesting today we had a discussion about the summon spirits" Lainey said

"It's amazing that you can remember the subject while your sleeping, Lainey" Seth said

"Hey!"

"So how my little birthday boy" Collette asked.

"Fine thanks" Seth was grateful and embarrassed at the same time, "where is dad?"

"He went into the woods and said he'd be back in a bit."

Seth nodded and walked up to his room and slung himself on his bed. He closed his eyes and drifted into slumber.

"Seth wake up the party has started." Collette came in

"I'll be down in a second."

Seth got up and looked in the mirror for a brief moment.

"Showtime!"

Well that's our show; please tell me what you think. Being my first fic here and all any suggestions are welcome. Till next I write.
