I DO NOT OWN TALES OF SYMPHONIA.


It was a bright, warm day. The Village of Mizuho was finally being settled. They were spreading out and exploring the new world, since the two worlds of Sylverant and Tethe-alla were joined as one by Lloyd Irving and the Eternal Sword. Sheena Fujibayashi was now the chieftain of the village, and was leading them faithfully and successfully. However, they were also having their own problems, such as getting used to the layout of the lands and the people who were there before them. For one thing, Sheena keeps on losing confidence in herself, and constantly needs someone's approval for support. And the people who do that the most his Zelos Wilder, and her new friend, Kotoko Manami.

"All right! That's good for now." Sheena approved. Two men had finally finished the roof of the former chieftain's house, Tiga, who also nodded in approval. "Sheena, you've done such a fine job for this village." He commented. She chuckled nervously. "Uh, thank you." She said. "You're welcome," He told her. She smiled. "Okay, is it time to party yet?" Zelos asked. "Party?! Zelos, you're more ridiculous than ever!" Sheena said sarcastically. "Well?" He said expectantly. Sheena sighed. "You're so hard to work with, oh lazy Chosen. No, of course not-there's not time for that!" She answered.

"Aw man," Zelos groaned. Tiga laughed. "What? Think that's funny, do you?" He said, becoming a little mad. "Sorry Zelos, but unlike you, we've got work to do." Sheena said. "True," Zelos sighed, putting his arms behind his head casually. "Sheena!" A voice called out. Everyone looked over to where the voice came from. A young girl was standing in the doorway of the house they had just finished. She had curly, redbrick hair that was pulled back in a messy bun. Her outfit consisted of a turquoise sash around her small waist, a purple mini dress, black leggings, and tall matching boots.

"Why, Kotoko, my sweet heavenly angel!" Zelos said, welcoming her. Her shocking, green eyes glared at him. She nodded silently at him and looked back to Sheena. "Sheena-san, we've finished another section. Are we done now?" She asked impatiently. Sheena smiled. "Yup, for today," She replied, "Everyone's done a great job!" "So what are we going to do now, my voluptuous honey flower?" Zelos asked. "Zelos! How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that!!" Sheena shouted at him. "Okay, okay, jeez. No need to raise your voice!" Zelos said cowardly. "Anyway, we'll call it a day for now." Sheena concluded.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the Mizuho village clan, a sinister plot was currently being schemed in the Gorrichai Forest. Another female ninja was kneeling down in front of a spring. She stared at her reflection. Her narrow crimson eyes stared back at her mercilessly, even when she blinked. Her dark, wavy hair fell into her face, and that was when she saw it. The vision on the Tower of Lightening, abut 16 years ago. She revisited the death of her beloved parents and younger brother, the lightening that had gone out of control from the irresponsible Summoner, Sheena Fujibayashi. She was the one who needed to suffer now.
