A/N's : So, this is somewhat embarrassing. I'm updating the chapters in this story in order to fix typos, errors and the horrifying formatting. However, I'd like to maintain its original state, as much as possible. So… please keep in mind. A lot of these Author Notes from over 9 years ago –Embarassed-(03/04/15)

Chapter 1: Mysterious Scale
The sun rose silently above Hima. It had been 3 years since Lloyd and company of heroes had defeated Mithos and Kratos had left on Derris Knarlan. Lloyd and Colette had set out to collect all of Symphonia's expheres while Raine and Genis decided to go around the world making life easier for half-elves. Presea stayed with Regal to help make the company make life easier for everyone. Sheena went back to Mizuho and Zelos went with her.
Lloyd stood at the top the mountain and stared at the sunrise, lost in his thoughts and emotions. He couldn't believe he had just let his father go like that, and even though it was three years ago, he still couldn't get over it. The pain of just letting his father take a punishment he didn't deserve still stabbed at his soul.
"Are you Lloyd Irving?" an old lady behind him asked. Lloyd looked around in surprise. He was having a difficult time getting away from his thoughts and had temporarily forgotten how to reply. "So you are then…" The old lady walked towards him and sat on the edge of the mountain and sighed. "I haven't seen the sunrise like this for 4,000 years," she said.
"4,000 years?" Lloyd asked her. He looked at her hand to see a glowing sphere on her hand. "Is that an exphere?" The old lady laughed softly.
"I knew you were Lloyd. I guess you can clearly see that this exphere has a key crest on it already? I should tell you that this key crest is very different from normal key crests which are made from inhibitor ore. This is made from a scale of a powerful beast!"
"The scale of a powerful beast? What are you talking about, grams?" The old lady laughed again.
"It matters not, young one. Hmm, have you ever heard of the Symphonian Dragons?" Lloyd shook his head. "They are said to be sacred beasts of great power who only obey the Summon Spirits that they are bonded with. Legend has it that they were sealed away and their seals were sealed with a magic barrier. That magic barrier prevents everything and anything from going through it but it is said that once all of the Summon Spirits are awake at the same time, the magic barrier is destroyed and the seal is left vulnerable for anyone to break. But even if someone was to break the seal, they would only unleash a force that not even the fallen Mithos could control."
"A force that not even Mithos could control… hey grams how do you-"The old lady cut him off.
"I know of many things but you must listen and do not interrupt me for my story is not yet complete. The legend has also prophesized that if the day comes when all of the Summon Spirits are awake at the same time, then the world shall surely be destroyed…but if by some chance the world is saved, the person responsible for saving the world will have to right to the most powerful dragon, a dragon more powerful than the dragons bonded with the Summon Spirits. It was prophesized that this person would be a half-elf. I know for a fact that you are human, Lloyd, but did you have any half-elves among your group of friends?" Lloyd looked at her uncertainly.
"Yes, I did but why do you ask?"
"Just curious is all…" The old lady stood and began to walk away.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Well it's still early in the morning and I haven't had my coffee yet. Wish to join me?" she asked him as he shook his head.
"No thanks."
"Suit yourself then. Oh, wait before I leave take this scale with you. It's said to grant you luck." Lloyd took the scale from her. She walked down the slope towards the small village of Hima as Colette ran passed her towards Lloyd.
"Good morning, Lloyd! Did you sleep well?" she asked him in her usually perky voice.
"Good morning, Colette. I slept fine," he replied as he looked towards the sky somewhat hoping to see Derris Knarlan somewhere in the distance.
"Still miss Kratos?" she asked quietly.
"Yeah…but let's move on. We'll take the boat back to Palmacosta and see if Neil has any news for us."
"Ok, sure! Oh Lloyd, who was the old lady you were talking to? Do you know her?" Lloyd shook his head.
"No, she came out of nowhere and somehow knew my name."
"Wow, do you think she's psychic or something?"
"Uh… no, Colette I don't think she is. Come on let's get moving."
Me: So did you like it?
Kratos: Review.
