Sage: Yipee! A new story!

Raine: ...

Genis: Well.

Presea: ...You have no heart..

Raquel: Professor Sage does not own Tales of Symphonia in any way..

Sage: Mm hmm.. Ohhh.. first part, the italic is Raine speaking out loud, not her thoughts. It is also through her point of view, but only in that particular spot. As for the Italic Bold, that would be the voice of the speaking person. A.K.A Kratos. xD

Kratos: ... Spoiler..

Raine: - Sigh - ...Anyways.. get ready for her most violent story yet.

Now class.. You must understand, this is very serious. Darnkess clouded my vision, as I spoke. It wasn't really that I was blind.. More like, I didn't want to see the many faces of the children I taught. The village of Iselia is no longer safe.. You must stay with your parents, and do not go outside unless your parents are there with you. Do you understand?

Silence engulfed the room after I spoke. I could feel the many gazes upon me, and the curiosity welling up. Only a few students were aware of the situation, and they avoided everything.

" Sis.." My brother mumbled, I opened my pale light blue eyes, and fixed them on him. He stood up slowly, like my students always did, and the other children looked at him, " There's another war.. Isn't there.".

And that was answered with dead silence, as a few shocked children whispered amongst themselves.

Yes, Genis..

... Ozette ..

Presea ran up the path, about to yell for the people wandering around on the roads to take shelter, but a group of soldiers interfered.

" Mommy! Mommy! Look! There's some visitors!" A little elf girl cried, the mother's eyes widened as a gasp escaped from her trembling lips. Without any hesitation, she knelt down, covering her child with her body as tears slipped from her eyes.

Presea stepped back, watching helplessly as a shot rang through the air, the bullet whipping through the air, and a cry out from pain as it hit the mother, cutting right through her and whizzing past the child's hear, hiding itself in the grass.

" Mommy?" The girl gasped as blood dripped onto her fast and her mother fell to the side, blood pouring out from her wound, " Mommy wake up!". The girl cried, her sobs ringing through the air as several other shots rang through the air. The axe wielder turned around and sprinted down the steps, quickly boarding her rhearid..

Once upon a time.. There existed a giant tree, that was the source of mana...

A war, however.. Caused this tree to, wither away.. And a hero's life was sacrificed in order to take it's place..

However, a young boy fought through the many battles and struggled.

He fought for a way for both worlds to live in peace, and that, no one should be sacrificed –

Without a reason..

But now, a war rages on once again, one side angered, because the world was changed..

The other, fighting because they want peace..

Thus.. The struggle for life and death, begins..
