The Burden of the brother
Chapter 1
Hi, everybody
Here it is my first fan-fiction so if you have some commentary, just tell me
It's a self insert in the universe of Tales Of Symphonia. The words in italics are the thoughts of the main character. I going to finish the traduction before making the next part.
PS: Tales Of Symphonia belong to Namco, I just borrowed it. Happy reading.
I was still asleep when sunshine came through my window and lit up my face.
- Mmm... Not now ….
- You have finally awaken little brother ?
-No... Let me sleep.
- You going to be late at school, so get up.
- Crap, I totally forgot...
She was getting out of the room, to allow me to get up and change in less than ten second, then I realized it was my sister's birthday, she just 16 and I'm 15...
The cookies would be enough? Or I should do something better? In any case, I hide them in her bag.
A voice came out of downstairs:
- Neven are you ready?
- Yes! I'm coming!
I took my bag made of silk and I went down the stairs. After saying goodbye to Phaidra, our grandmother, the place was about fifty meters from our home but by my fault we were late, I made excuses but my sisters sais it's okay and she's not blaming me... I wished her happy birthday and she thanks me warmly and …...
We arrived at school in time and we entered in the wooden building, everybody was here... excepted Lloyd, he was always late but it's wasn't all his fault... He wasn't living in the village but with a dwarf, Dirk on the opposite side of the woods. He also has some feeling for my sister so I keep a eye on him.
This morning is not a exception when he arrived, the profesor punished him by making him stand up in the back of the class with two bucket full of water. But he falls asleep everytime in this position. And it's exasperated Profesor.
-Lloyd Irving , wake up! Lloyd! It was Profesor who noticed the full concentration of Lloyd.
A brush passed juste next to me and impact in the head of Lloyd.
-Mmmmgh... mumble Lloyd
-how do you succed to sleep standing up?
-Oh, profesor Raine, the class is finish?
-Really Lloyd ? I ask myself
-Pfff! Ask somebody else to answer the question. Genis ?
-Yes Raine. The hero Mithos put an end to the antique wars on the sacred land of Kharlan.
-God Martel too
-Exact. Then , the hero Mithos made a pact with the Goddes Martel to spread the Désians who started the war.
Then Lloyd interfered
-But Désians came back and today they make us suffer!
-We saw that last time , don't you remenber? When the seal is weak, Désians reappears. Like at this moment.
-I... I know all of that. I just forget it.
-Today is the day of the Prophecy. It's a very important day because the Elue of the Mana will hear the prophecy of the Goddes Martel. Colette, you who are the Elue...
Colette get up before saying:
-Yes Madam
-Tell us about the regeneration of the world
-It's a journey for locking the Désians. After passing the test of the Goddes Martel, the originals spirits wicht who protect this world will wake up and the mana will flow again
-It's correct. I suppose it's normal for the Elue in person to know that. The decreass of the mana is the origin of the lack of food rigth now. We say it's because the Désians use a big quantity of the mana in their human farm.
I already know all of that... school is pretty boring.
Colette send a little look before siting down.
-The journey of the Elue has for goal to revive the mana and to beat the Désians. Next Question...
At this moment a flash of light appears and dazzles us. And right after the flash, a headach appeared. I couldn't hear or see anything during a minute or two. I had a bad feeling about today.
My sister noticed my pain and hugs me at the same time while asking me what happened.
When I was back I told her it was nothing, just a little headach and I'm Warning her about the feeling I just had a few second ago.
-Lloyd! What are you doing ? Raine said we must stay in class!
-It's research. He said and added. Colette it's concernes you, you're coming ?
-Yes I'm coming, Neven stay here, She said it with a certain autority she never uses apart from with me.
-Ok... take care of you, and Lloyd ?
-Yes ?
-Take care of her, she's got the habit of always getting into dangerous situation.
-It's okay, she will be safe with me.
-Don't worry Neven I'm going keep a eye on her because we all know Lloyd is unable ta take care of anything, add Genis
-Hey Genis
-It's true, What had happened to your rabbit ?
-But it's wasn't ... nothing
They were starting to go to the temple. I'm really scare for Colette so I check if I had my weapon with me and follow them discreetly
They fight some ghosts and zombies during the ways. When they arrive at the temple, they heard swords and people screaming in pain.
A priest went down the stairs and fell next to the group but Lloyd catches him. I couldn't hear what they said but by the look of they faces I understand he was no longer with us.
During that time I was thinking about all of the events my sister's team went through and the assault of the assailant. I start to go where the fight was but I was too slow, I saw thema they knees before a colossus with a hammer and a kind of giant axe.
This is bad, this is really bad...
I wasn't fast enougth... A purple shadow passed next to me.
Fast, really fast
He make the colossus fall down with a single blow, then the giant got up quickly and looked with a hatred eyes and the fight restarte.
But the victory was clearly for the purple mister. I don't know why but I think I can trust him. I wait for the battle to end and I decide to directly go to Dirk, Lloyd father.
