Cat-Alin: Okay, sorry if you all were surprised that I suddenly cut off the old Cruxis' Seraphim Story.
Which now gets a new Name, of course.
Anyway, I'm not as depressed about it anymore, thanks to my Boyfriend.
Thank you!
And I'll try to NOT forget that I gave Lloyd a stupid scar. I seriously forgot that!
I made up a positive-negative list about my two Versions (Lloyd growing up in Cruxis vs Lloyd growing up
in Iselia while belonging to Cruxis) and the first one was better.
I'm also gonna use the japanese names, even for Raine, but if you all are TOO unfamiliar
or uncomfortable with it, I will change it.
Nee-san - what you call your Big Sister
Several Years Prior
"Papa?" a young boy asked, snuggled up to his father's shoulder, getting carried.
"What is it, Lloyd?"
"Where's Mama?" he asked. He was exhausted, cold and the bandage around his head was soaked through
with blood and rain.
His father stayed quiet for a while, his steady steps a soothing rythm to the boy.
"Mama's .. dead."
The boy didn't know what that word meant, but right now he was too tired to ask.
He will ask some other day. Some other time ..
The little boy was asleep, not knowing what was happening around him.
His father still kept him in his arms, while walking down a barely lit passage. The walls seemed
transparent, with blue electricity running through them, the floor out of black marble.
Someone was awaiting him at the end of the hall. This man wore white mostly, with
long blond hair. It made him a great contrast to the darkness around.
"You seem aggitated, Kratos." he said with a sneer. "I'm sure you want to kill me now, don't you?"
Kratos just held his son in his arms, not really looking at his opposite.
"But you don't seem to have the will for it."
".. Yggdrasill-sama," Kratos finally said. "why-?"
"I had to, Kratos. I can't let them run around freely like stray dogs. Especially not with Origin's Seal."
Kratos became silent again.
"And now, since you don't have anywhere else to go, you will come back to Cruxis." Yggdrasill smirked slightly,
he liked the idea of being in power. "If you are worried about your son, don't be. He can stay."
Kratos nodded and left.
Back in his old chambers, Kratos sunk down onto the big blue armchair.
Lloyd stirred and pushed up onto his father's shoulder, looking around.
"Where are we?" he asked.
".. In our new home."
"Why isn't Mama here?"
".. She's dead, Lloyd." he sat Lloyd back onto his lap and looked him straight into the eyes. "Being dead
means that you are gone. You can't see that person again."
Lloyd inclined his head to the side.
Kratos sighed slightly. Lloyd was too young to ask, or to understand.
A few years later, Lloyd was down in the sublevels of the city, Welgaia.
He had a wooden sword in his left hand, on the back of it a blue jewel and
a rather broken wooden figure in front of him.
"You've learned your basics very well and fast, Lloyd." Kratos complimented him.
Lloyd, out of breath, looked up at him and laughed. "It's fun to do something new! Could you
now show me how I make that energy wave come from the ground?"
Kratos smirked slightly at the eagerness of his son.
"Alright. Focus your mana at the tip of your blade." he told him, tightening the grip
on his own sword. "The best moment to release the energy is, when you see the glint of your blade
at the corner of your eye."
He slowly pulled his arm with the sword back. "And you slam your arm on the ground then. Majnken!"
Kratos' sword touched the ground with a slam and a sharp, jagged wave of blue energy shot forward.
Lloyd nodded and imitated his father as well as he could.
".... Majinken!" he shouted, slamming his arm and sword onto the ground. A similiar wave appeared,
but it was much smaller and didn't go very far.
"That was pretty good for the first try."
An angel entered the almost bare room and bowed respectfully.
"Kratos-sama, Yggdrasill-sama is wanting a word with you."
The summoned one nodded and turned back to his son while the angel left.
"You keep on practicing, I'll be right back."
Watching his father leave, Lloyd remained still, until the door closed behind him.
"Noishe, wasn't I good?" he asked the big dog a bit away.
Noishe barked happily.
"Not much longer, and I'll be as strong as my Papa."
Noishe barked and lay down on the floor, closer to his master's son and watched him practice
that energy wave and basic swordsmanskills.
Kratos, meanwhile, went down the same dark hall he had stepped on years ago to meet Yggdrasill.
"You wished to speak with me?" he asked, getting down on one knee.
"Yes, I wanted to ask how your son is getting on with his training."
Kratos frowned slightly at that question. "He's quick at learning and eager to learn more."
"Good, good .." Yggdrasill said absent-minded. ".. Because I have a mission for him."
"A mission? Sir, he's not even a teenager yet!" Kratos protested.
"That may be, but he's strong as I heard and you say he's fast at learning."
The subordinate remained quiet.
"And as a reward, I will make him a Seraphim. His Level will depend on his success-rate."
The other one nodded and got up slowly.
"Oh, and, of course, for this mission, we will need a little .. alterfication .."
"What do you mean by that, Sir?" Kratos asked.
"About his Keycrest .." the Leader said and held up a golden crest, it was oval and the
outer line was formed, so that it looked like a wing of an angel. "He will need to change it."
Kratos looked at the keycrest, knowing what an effect it had.
Taking it, he nodded. ".. What mission is this, that you send him on? It seems to be very important."
Yggdrasill looked at his subordinate and smirked.
"You should know, which one it is."
Present
"Lloyd."
The boy turned. From the looks, he was at the end of his teenager years,
his darkbrown hair wild over his head, obscurring a scar that parted his right eyebrow.
He had a bloodred earring in his right earlobe, the color fitting perfectly with his
jacket. The pants were tight and black with zipped up pockets and loose black belts, which
made his legs look extra long.
"What is it, Father?" he asked.
"Yggdrasill is sending us on another mission." Kratos told him, he still looked like he had
several years ago.
".. To accompany the Chosen One?"
Kratos nodded. "I still have my other mission to finish on Sylvarant. I'll try to catch up as soon
as I can."
Lloyd nodded. "Chosen One .. living in Iselia?"
"Correct. You should have no problem with it."
The wind was flowing gently and the sky was a perfect blue on Sylvarant.
Lloyd took his blue wings out and flew as close as he deemed safe to Iselia in the northern part of
Sylvarant and landed.
He was going to stay close to Iselia and offer his protection to the Chosen, once he saw her
close to the Oracle.
A few steps before entering the little village, he stopped and turned his head to the west.
Metall knocking against metall, cries of pain and rage.
Clearly, a fight was going on.
Lloyd quickly retraced his steps towards the fight, getting closer to the Chapel of Martel.
"Grandmother!" a girl's voice called.
"Collet, run!"
Shuffling steps. "Botta-sama, it's the Chosen One!"
Lloyd took out his sword and quickly and quietly ran up the stairs.
He stopped, before he knocked into a Desian in front of him.
A group of Desianclothed people had circled a young girl with long blond hair and a boy with
silver hair, younger than she was.
"Chosen, your life belongs to me now!" a man snapped at her, wielding a very big red sword.
"We won't let you Desians get away with this!" the young boy snapped, pulling out something
that seemed like a toy, but was probably used as a weapon.
The Desians surrounding them started to laugh.
"W-what's so funny?!" the boy snapped at them, clearly trying to look braver than he was.
"Well, we'll just let you die by the hand of us 'Desians'." one of them said and was about to charge
at them, when another one of them gasped in pain
and fell forward, not getting up anymore.
They all looked over and saw Lloyd, who had stabbed him.
"If you wish to fight, leave the kids alone." he said and sneered.
Botta, who seemed to be agast at Lloyd's sudden appearance, caught himself again.
"Charge!" he told his subordinates.
Quickly, Lloyd had dispatched of all the Desians that had run towards them.
He pointed his sword at Botta.
"You want to be next?" he asked.
"Hrm .." Botta glared at him. "Never thought one of your rank would show up ...."
And he left as fast as the wind.
An old woman crept towards him, leaning on a walking stick.
"Thank you so much, young man. You saved the Chosen's Life!"
Lloyd looked over to the two kids, more closely at the girl.
"So, she's the Cosen .."
The girl nodded. "Yes, I am. Grandmother, I'm going to undergo the Trial now."
"But, Collet," her grandmother protested. "the Priests are dead!"
"What Priests?" the young boy asked.
"The Priests who were to accompany her through the Trial. They got killed by
those Desians."
Lloyd looked over to the old woman again, seeing his chance.
"I'm a mercenary and I'd like to offer you my service to accompany the Chosen through her Trial."
The old woman looked at him, slightly worried.
"Very well, we have no other choice at the moment. Please, do so."
Collet stepped towards Lloyd.
"Excuse me, but could Genius probably come with us?" she asked. "He's a good friend of mine and
I get nervous when he's not around."
Lloyd looked over to the young boy. "You Genius?"
He nodded. "Yes, I'm Genius Sage."
".. Very well, come with." the older said, knowing that if it came to it, he'd be able to protect both.
The inside of the chapel was dark, lit with some torches and cold air rushing through every now and then.
"Ehh .. very different from what I imagined .." Genius mumbled to himself, looking at the greenish black walls.
"This is the first time, I'm inside, too." Collet told him. Then she looked over to Lloyd. "Um, what is your name?"
"Pardon, that I didn't introduce myself yet." Lloyd quickly said. "My name is Lloyd Aurion."
"It's nice to meet you." Collet said and smiled.
They all looked at the shining Cruxis Crystal that was in the middle of the altar.
It was a dark red color and around it was a keycrest made from ordinary metall, not Inhibitor Ore, but
they didn't notice that.
Instead, a bright light flooded the room suddenly and an angel with white wings appeared,
his blonde hair shining brightly.
They stared up at him.
"I am Remiel." he told them and looked back at them interested. "Where is the Chosen One?"
"I am the Chosen One, Remiel-sama." Collet told him.
While Remiel told them about the purpose of the Regeneration Journey, Lloyd stared at him and
frowned slightly, trying to remember his status.
In front of his Inner Eye, a list appeared with names and rank of several angels,
looking for Remiel.
Remiel - Level 58
His third time as the Angel Of Cruxis' Blessing for the Chosen's Journey.
"Chosen Collet, I will await you at the Fire's Seal, south of here." Remiel said and flew a bit upwards
before vanishing in a flash of light.
"Chosen, let's go." Lloyd said, yanking himself out of his thoughts. "We have to tell the Village that you
received the Oracle."
Collet nodded and she followed Lloyd, Genius close to them back outside.
Back in the Village, everyone who saw Collet greeted her and looked happy or expectedly.
Genius gave Collet a little bag with cookies, her birthday present. He was a bit bummed that it
seemed so ordinary, seeing as the next day Collet was off on her Journey.
"No, it's okay, really." she assured him and gave him a hearty smile. "I love your Cookies."
"Alright. I'll see you later." Genius said a bit ashamed and left, Lloyd and Collet going into her house.
They were greeted by Collet's father Frank, her grandmother who had gone back to the village and
the mayor of Iselia.
A short while later, a woman came in with silver hair and blue eyes, very identical to Genius' and
she sat down at the table.
Lloyd studied her a bit.
She looked like she was about beginning or mid of her twenties. But he
could tell from her mana, that she was half-elven, so her true age may be not what her outside showed.
But he guessed that she was probably the older sister of Genius.
".. Raine-san will accompany you on your Journey, Chosen." the mayor said, Lloyd startled slightly
at breaking out of his thoughts.
Collet nodded, not having gotten anything to really say in the discussion yet.
"And I don't want to step too close, Lloyd-san," the mayor said and looked a bit doubtful. "but I don't
really think that you would be able to be of great assistance in the Journey .."
Lloyd had counted on something like that happening.
"Rest asure. Do not let my appearance trick you! I have had vigorous swordsmanship training since young
age and basic mercenary training as well, taught by my father." he said. "I would put my life on the line,
to protect the Chosen!"
Collet looked over to him with a sudden turn of her head, her lips parting and her eyes widening.
"But if it satisfies you - my Father is currently on a mission himself, but should be done soon. I'm sure
he'd willingly come along to accompany the Chosen on her Journey."
The mayor looked a bit surprised, but nodded.
"Very well, then I will officially hire you - and your father once you meet him - as Protectors of the Chosen."
The discussion then went on to several small topics, like wether Collet's Identity should be kept secret
in any city they might get to, in case someone might oppose the Regeneration or would inform the Desians
of her whereabouts,
or what necessities were made to keep the Chosen safe, aside from her protectors.
In the End, they agreed on the next morning to leave for the Journey, trying to get to the desert
fast, before nightfall, when it got freezingly cold.
"Lloyd-san, Iselia may be small, but we'd be willing to give you accomodation for tonight." Phaidra, Collet's
grandmother, offered him.
"It is no problem at all. I prefer to sleep under the stars." he said politely and left the table and house with
Raine.
She looked over to him.
"You seem rather calm about the whole matter of the Journey. Remember, it will be dangerous." she told him.
"I am very aware of that." he said. "But my Father told me to always keep a cool head in every situation."
Raine nodded.
"But aren't you worried?" Lloyd asked. "You are a young woman and I can tell that your little brother is
very fond of you, almost dependant."
"It will be no problem. I'm a Healer and any injury that might be sustained during the Journey, I can heal." Raine
contered. "And Genius is very mature for his age, he will be able to take care of himself for a while."
"I'm currently around Haima." Kratos' voice said.
Lloyd nodded. "I'm not sure which order Remiel will tell the Chosen to go, so we'll either see you soon or not."
A golden chain came from Lloyd's earring, that had a little hollow place to keep things, down to his chin, where
a tiny microphone was placed.
"Very well. I still have to bring the rests of the Priests back to Luin. Tell me about when you'll get to Asgard
and I'll try to catch up in time."
"Alright."
The microphone and chain got put back into the earring, the front part of the earring put closed.
The current Chosen was .. yes, Yggdrasill had said that she was the most important one since Cruxis was
formed.
And he could see why. Her hair was long and it might not be the same color, but her mana that surrounded
her body all the time had
a nearly identical signature to that of Martel.
Slowly, Lloyd got his sword out and took a deep breath.
About thirty minutes of vigorous training usually helped to clear his mind.
Lloyd moved in a blur, his sword glinting every now and then when it caught the moonlight.
"Majinken, Renkuuzan, Mouhagouhazan, Shishisenkou!"
The various attacks formed energy waves, the last one formed as a lion.
"Ah! Reduce Damage!" a high voice screeched and a green light shone for a moment.
Lloyd stopped in his training and saw that he had almost hit Collet.
"I'm sorry, Chosen One." he quickly said. "Did I hit you?"
Collet, recovering from the shock, nodded and then smiled. "You didn't hit me. I'm sorry, perhaps I shouldn't
have come close."
"It's my fault. I shouldn't forget myself during training." he said cooly, cursing himself for not
getting further in his training. "What are you doing out of the village at night?"
"I .. um, I wanted to see you." she admitted, looking a bit worried that she might have made him angry by
coming.
Lloyd looked at her in surprise.
Could it be, that she had fallen for him?
He sincerely hoped not.
Not, because he hated her, but he didn't want to get too close to the Chosen, who was so important for
Cruxis.
Nor did he want to hurt her feelings by seeming to be interested in her, while he was not.
"I, I wanted to ask you something." she said
and Lloyd sighed quietly in relief.
"What is it?"
".. During the discussion about the Journey, you said that you'd put your life on the line for me, so I would
regenerate the world."
"And that is true."
Collet seemed to have wanted an answer to that and nodded.
"Thank you .." she muttered. "Hihi, I still can't quite believe that the day has come. Since my birth,
everyone kept saying that The Day Of Prophecy will come. How important it was and how I should look
forward to it, too. And now it's come. It's still sort of surreal to me .."
Lloyd listened, not knowing what he should say to that.
"Hihi, tomorrow, we'll go on the Journey to regenerate the World. I'll become an angel and then .."
Lloyd side-glanced at her. "Then?"
"Ah, it's not important." she quickly said and giggled again. "Good Night, Lloyd."
"Good Night, Chosen." Lloyd said and watched her going back to the village, into her house.
Morning was bright and all the villagers of Iselia were at the entrance, cheering and running forward to
shake Collet's hands or, in case of her family, hugs.
"We're counting on you, Chosen One!"
"Be careful!"
"Yes, everything will be alright!" Collet kept repeating while shaking hands and waving. "I'll do my best!"
After a long goodbye from all the villagers, Raine, Lloyd and Collet started out on their Journey,
heading towards the south.
"Say, Lloyd, your eyecolor .."
"What about it?" Lloyd asked.
"They look darkbrown, but when you look closer, they look positively red." she said, wondering if
perhaps it was just a trick of the light. "What about your parents?"
"My mother had green eyes, and my father's eyes may be the same color of red." he answered curtly.
"I see .." Raine wanted to see the father soon to check, if he had the same queer eyecolor as his son or not.
They made a quick stop at the House of Salvation, about midway to the desert.
Midday hadn't quite reached yet, so they were still in time.
"So, your father is currently on a mission. Since when?" Raine asked.
"He left about a week ago with a large group of Priests and Priestesses of the Church of Martel. They
needed protection while passing the Ossa Trail, over to Haima."
"I see .."
"It smells like smoke .." Lloyd thought to himself, trying to trace where the scent came from.
Collet said, they should continue on as fast as they could with their Journey.
"Sylvarant needs to be regenerated." she said.
"But, Chosen, don't overdo it." Lloyd told her. "It wouldn't be good for you to overexert yourself."
Collet nodded though.
"But I'm fine."
They continued onwards towards the desert, putting on thick leather cloaks over their shoulders and heads to keep
the sun out of their eyes.
Lloyd stopped in his tracks and listened.
"Lloyd?" Collet asked.
".. Someone's coming." he said and unsheathed his sword, positioning himself in front of Collet.
Raine got her staff out, ready to form a barrier around them within a second's notice.
The figure came closer and closer, finally close enough to recognize who it was.
Lloyd and Raine both sheathed their weapons again and waited for Genius to catch up.
"Genius!" Raine said in a tone that sounded more like a mother. "Didn't I tell you to stay behind? What are you doing here?"
Genius needed a minute to catch his breath.
"Nee-san, I got banished from Iselia." he told them and began to explain.
He had had a friend at the Iselian Humanranch and had been seen the day before by the Desians.
A few hours ago, they had attacked Iselia, burning down the houses and forcing him to show himself.
When he did, the friend at the ranch, who's Exsphere never had gotten a keycrest and been taken off, was
turned into a monster and attacked him.
He had to kill his friend.
"And since I broke the Peacetreaty between the Desians and Iselia and for the trouble I caused, I got banished." he finished.
"I thought of perhaps joining you on your Journey .."
He looked uncertain around.
"Of course, Genius. I'd be happy to have you with us on the Journey." Collet smiled, happy to have a familiar face around.
"Nee-san, I'm sorry .. they burned our House down, too .." Genius admitted, looking ashamed to the ground.
Raine ruffled her little brother's hair and smiled.
"It's alright. As long as you are safe."
A cloak had been put around Genius' shoulders and head as well and after a long
marsh, with a small reststop at Triet, they had finally reached the Ruins of old Triet.
The pillars were scratched smooth by sandstorms, except for a large black stone that looked like a huge door.
"Eh?" Collet stepped closer. "That has my family's crest on it."
They all looked and Raine started to laugh.
"Yes, it's clearly, without any doubt, the sign of the Chosen's Family!" she gasped and inspected the door. "Ah, the black
stone with the silver threads running through it - Of course, the sign that it is made out of Polycarbonate!"
She continued to study it, as well as the pillars - who told great stories of the Ancient Triet, but were not out of Polycarbonate.
".. Your big sister seems very interested in Ruins." Lloyd finally said, slightly amused.
Genius sighed heavily. "I so tried to hide it up to now .. She's pretty much a Maniac .."
"Collet, please, put your hand onto the door!" Raine said. "It should open for you!"
Collet looked surprised and nodded, putting her hand onto the cold stone.
The crest lighted up and the stone moved sideways, giving the way free to some stairs out of the same black material, but
without the silver threads through it.
The stairs brought them to a room with a high ceiling, all out of black stone, the torches on the light
filling the room with constant heat and flickering.
"Who's there!?" a voice echoed.
The next moment, a woman jumped in front of them.
Short, fire red hair was decorated with a tiara that seemed to burst out at the sides, making it look like a phoenix' wings.
Her dark skin blended nicely with her yellow eyes,
her clothes was made out of red leather that got crossed in front of her chest and some tightfitting pants that went down
to her knees, the sandals lacing up to the pants.
They stared at her, surprised that someone would be here.
"You have no buisness here!" she snapped at them and charged, using something that looked similiar to a Chakram,
the same weapon Collet used.
Lloyd parried the hit and guided his sword underneath her crooked arm, swinging her over his shoulder.
The woman just barely managed to land on her feet, staring at them.
"Please, listen!" Collet begged her, noticing the glares that travelled from the woman to Lloyd and back, worried that they
might start fighting in earnest. "I am the Chosen One, here to perform my duty."
The woman flinched at the word 'Chosen One' and got up, putting her weapon back onto their hooks on her belt.
"You are the Chosen One, starting her Journey?" she asked.
"Yes, I am." Collte nodded.
The woman studied her for a while. "I am Ifurita, the Priestess of Ifrit's Temple. If you really are the Chosen, proceed
to the altar."
The altar was out of the Polycarbonate, like the door, and a bright fire was blazing in the middle.
Collet nodded and stepped shyly to the front of the altar.
She clasped her hands together and started to pray.
"You have done well, Chosen." Lloyd complimented her, after Remiel disappeared in a ray of golden light.
Collet looked over to him and smiled, nodding.
She needed a second to be able to make her wings, that she had sprouted through Angelpowers, disappear.
Raine unfolded a map of Sylvarant.
"Remiel said that the next Seal would be towards the north .." she muttered and checked the map.
Lloyd looked at the map, too, Genius talking with Collet about how great her wings looked.
"A secluded place north in Sylvarant. He probably meant the Tower of Mana."
Raine nodded in agreement while Lloyd turned to the other two.
"Hurry up, we need to leave." he said and Collet and Genius looked at him.
"Yeees." they said and went out of the room with the high ceiling, Raine following them closely.
Lloyd was about to step out, when Ifurita held him back.
"Wait a second." she told him and stepped closer, studying his face.
The swordsman flinched slightly, but remained quiet.
".. It can't be. Must've been my mistake." she finally said. "Sorry."
Lloyd nodded and left quickly, catching up with the others.
He ran right into the next problem, catching Collet by the arm, before she fell completely to the floor.
"Chosen, are you alright?" he asked worried.
"I-I'm .. fine .." she said, shivering.
"You're obviously not." Raine contered and studied Collet's face. "Your lips are turning purple. You should go see a doctor."
"Hang on a second." Lloyd said. "It's probably the Angeltrial. Remember that Remiel had said that it might be painful."
They built up a camp just a few meters away, it was shaded mostly.
While Genius offered to prepare the food, there was a slight discussion on who would take over nightwatch.
"I'll do it." Lloyd said.
"Are you sure?" Raine asked.
"I could take over once you're tired." Collet offered.
"No, Chosen. You are too weakened by the Angeltrial."
After the meal, most of them went to sleep.
Making sure that they were really asleep, Lloyd opened his earring again.
"Father?"
"What is it, Lloyd?"
"Remiel told us to go north. So, we'll be in Luin probably by midday tomorrow. We have to get the Key for the Tower."
"That's true. Alright, I will remain in Luin for now."
".. Father, there's something-" Lloyd started but stopped immediately, putting the chain and microphone back into the earring.
Collet sat up, her eyes wide open.
The swordsman wondered if she had heard him.
"Chosen, can't you sleep?" he asked without hesitation.
Collet started and looked over to him.
"Ah, I don't know what's wrong with me. Perhaps I'm still excited about all what has happened."
They crossed the desert towards the east slower than yesterday, since Collet looked slightly pale.
She had remained the rest of the night awake, although she did lie back down and tried to sleep.
Lloyd nodded slightly in appreciation when he studied her for a moment.
He wondered, what his Father might be thinking. Lloyd hadn't been able to finish his message and
with Collet awake, he couldn't try to contact him again.
"The Ossa Trail recently has been very dangerous." Raine said. "Collet, it'd be best if you stay close to Lloyd, alright?"
Collet nodded, stepping a bit closer to Lloyd.
They got closer to the Ossa Trail, when they saw a figure standing at the beginning of the path leading upwards.
A few meters away from her, they stopped, wondering what she wanted when she turned to them.
Her almondshaped eyes were darkbrown and her ravenblack hair tied back into a ponytail. Her legs and arms were covered in
a black suit, a big pink ribbon was keeping a lilac, shortsleeved jacket over her well endowed body,
her gloves reaching up to her upperarms, while the boots stayed around ankle height.
".. Is the Chosen of Mana among you?" she asked in a sophisticated voice.
Lloyd studied her, as well as Raine did, wondering if what would happen if they answered.
"I am the Chosen." Collet said, stepping forward and smiling widely, like she usually did.
The woman smirked and took something out of her ribbon that looked like a card.
"Die!" she hissed and charged at Collet.
"Majinrengazan!" Lloyd yelled, slashing his sword three times towards the ground.
Three fanged energy waves hit the woman, causing her to get knocked against a lever, which opened up a mineshaft
underneath her and she fell.
Collet gasped and kneeled down next to the shaft.
"Oh no! I hope she's alright!"
"Collet, it may seem harsh, but it was necessary." Raine told her. "And if it hadn't happened, you would've been killed."
Lloyd side-glared at Raine.
"I hope you don't mean that I would've let her get killed?" he asked.
Raine avoided his gaze.
"I didn't mean it like that. It is thanks to your reaction, that the enemy is gone."
"I see .."
Cat: And the new chapter is finished. I still don't think I quite got the coldhearted Lloyd I wanted.
Perhaps I'm not meant to make a coldhearted Lloyd ..
I'm getting depressed now ..
I hope you enjoyed this chapter - as you see I made some slight changes.
By the way, once I find out how to draw Lloyd's hair well, I will upload a picture of his clothes from this story.
The techniques in the story are as followed
