Hello, its me again DarklightZERO, this is a rewritten version of my first story, enjoy, buts first the disclamer, I do not own tales of symphonia (I wish that I did). How on with the fic.

It was near the end of my holidays. My closest friend had come, he just given me back my copy of tales of Symphona.

"Its good." He just told me, and left to play on my PC.

"Probably playing Half Life 2 as he doesn't have his own copy." I sighed.

I put the two Gamecube disks back into their case. I closed it but instead of putting it back where my other games lay, I just stared at the case.

"I will just play on it, just for old times sake."

I took disk one out, put it in the Gamecube and just selected new game, when nature called.

I sighed, "Just when I started playing I need the loo."

I came back to find that the TV wasn't showing Tales of Symphona, it was showing what looked like muti-colored static.

"Oh heck!" I shouted at the TV. An exam awaited me a week after I got back from the holidays, I was under increasing pressure to revise and the last thing I wanted was technical problems with my Gamecube.

I thought that turning off the TV would solve the problem.

I pressed the button but the screen wouldn't turn off.

I tried to turn off the Gamecube but it didn't turn off.

"Ok this is getting creepy" I rapped my knuckles on the screen.

That was a big mistake!

My arm was sucked into the TV, my other hand pressed on something trying to pull it out. As the other arm rested on the TV screen it got sucked in too.

"Help." I managed to call out before my head was pulled in as well.

I seemed to fall through muti-colored static, and then it all went dark, like somebody had turned off the lights.

Then I felt, warm, I could feel something with my hands, it was… grass. I opened my eyes.

I was staring at a clear blue sky, I sat up and what seemed to be a green blanket and a book fell off me. I appeared to be lying in the middle of a green field. I picked up the book that fell off me, I opened it and examined a few of the pages, it a appeared to be a diary, I flicked through a few more pages, then I identity of who the diary belonged to became known, I was mine!

I flicked to the last entry

"It has been 2 days since he died, and I don't know what to do, I could go on and do what he tired to do for almost his whole life, or I could go to Iselia and offer to protect the next chosen, even though I am a days walk to Iselia, I am still unsure on what to do."

I looked at the diary to double check what I had apparently written, Iselia? ISELIA!

"This means that I am in Tales of Symphonia!" Part of me was happy; I had always wanted to be in a game, especially RPG games like any of the Final Fantasy's (except for 10, reason why, Tidus.) and Skies of Arcadia, but another part felt unsure.

Well, I better see what I had got, I pulled the 'blanket' off of me then I had a look at myself (warning, lots of description). I was wearing a green long sleeve top with a small patch of whitish leather covering my chest. What covered my hands were thick brown leather gloves. Over my legs I had green trousers with thick brown boots. Then for some reason I looked at the green 'blanket' to discover it was a cloak with two strings at the top which I could tie around my neck. After putting on the cloak, I noticed that some parts of the (mainly) green outfit were stained slightly brown.

"Looks like mud, well guess I could say that I am a traveler, who likes to stay away from civilization." I looked around and I noticed a building in the distance to my left, "And speaking of civilization the house of Salvation is over there, why didn't I stay there instead of sleeping in the wilderness?"

Anyway, I checked my clothes. Now I better see what weapons I had got. I looked down to the ground and saw a short sword in a black sheath. Attached to the sheath was a brown belt with a pouch. This contained two red jelly 'blobs' which I assumed to be apple gels. One bottle that was filled with a blue substance (must be a life bottle). I also looked through the pouch for any money (I had no pockets). I came to the conclusion that I had no money.

I put the belt on. Making sure that the sword was hanging off my right side (I am left handed) I made a mental checklist of what I needed for Tales of Symphonia.

Proper clothes: Check

Items: Check

Weapons: Check

Gald: Check (even though I do not have any)

Exspheres: Not check.

"Lets see. Exspheres are usually placed on the back of your hand." I took off both of my gloves and scanned the back of my hands. "Nope, no Exsphere." I replaced my gloves. Made a last check of myself before I thought of consulting my 'diary.'

After taking a brief look, I gathered a rough back-story.

"I was born in a village (the diary didn't say the name of the village for some reason), orphaned at the age of 5, I was taken to a church of Martel (which belonged to the same village) which also served as an orphanage. I stayed there until I was 12. Then Desians came and burned the whole place down. Killing or taking everyone I knew to a human ranch. By some freak accident I came across a traveling mercenary called Darius, who gave himself the title of 'Desian slayer.' He took me as his apprentice for 4 years. Then two days ago he went and got himself killed by monsters."

Putting the diary away in my pouch I gathered my thoughts "Well, I better get myself to Iselia. Lets see, the house of Salvation is to the south of Iselia. So I must head in the opposite direction." I dusted my hands and set off.

So how was it? This was a short introductory chapterPlease review, you can help the story get better!
