Alrighty! here's my first fanfic of...tales of symphonia as well! XD I have an urge to write lots of stories lately...odd. Well, um, I'll stop my babbling and let you read now...and ummm YUAN ROCKS! XD oh yeah for the copyright I own no one! Although Kratos owns all, him and Yuan...haaha what am I talking about?
"Legend once had it, that there was a sacred tree. This tree was the source of all the worlds' mana. With this knowledge, a great war broke out amongst the two parallel worlds, for the tree and its mana. But, amidst the bloodshed and violence there was hope. The sacrifice of a kind and innocent heart led the war to its end. The one who died for everyone left few with desolation, and a deep emptiness. My sister, I shall regain what I have lost, and past mistakes will not be made again. To fill this emptiness in my heart a new age a new world will rise for the better. But, I'm afraid I'm the only one who seems to think that."
Mithos Yggdrasil
"Mithos, please. You know the humans won't cross the mountains unless their provoked!" The blue eyed and blue haired half-elf argued to his blonde haired companion.
"Oh, please, they'll cross the mountains no matter what, Yuan! You out of all people should know that by now. I say, we come in from behind and attack them, we'll catch them completely off guard." The blonde haired half-elf who was the younger of the two, responded.
"There's no time for that! We would never make it, with our army size, and supplies it'd take at least three maybe even four days." Yuan said, him and Mithos were arguing while a map of their world Tethe'alla lay out before them. A cool silent wind passed through the trees of Ymir forest, the lamp nearby flickered causing shadows to dance across the map.
"Then…we'll use the Rheairds. They'll cut our time down to about half." Mithos said.
"Oh? Then how about supplies? Or, do you plan to leave those behind for your suicidal plan, which you think will work." Yuan asked his voice tinged with sarcasm. A branch nearby cracked and both half –elves spun around, they jumped to their feet. Yuan drew his intricately designed double-edged sword, and Mithos prepared a spell.
"Calm down, it's only me." A familiar voice spoke. A man about six feet tall stepped out of the thick forest underbrush. His auburn hair covering one eye. He was wearing a purple outfit, and at his side was his long sword. Then another figure stepped into the warm light of the lamp. She was a half-elf too. Her hair was a light, almost white blonde, and her eyes were green. She was wearing a silky white dress, not formal since they were traveling, but, it was pure white, her brother Mithos had bought it for her on her birthday. To fight off the cold she wore a cape with green diamonds going down the shoulders and the rest was black.
"Kratos." Mithos said.
"Martel." Yuan said. Yuan's eyes suddenly lost their fury and they became gentle as he got up and too both of Martel's hands and pulled her near him.
"I was…worried, I thought something might of happened to you." He said.
"No, I'm fine. All thanks to Kratos." Martel said, looking over at the man, who was now sitting on the cool earth his back against a tree.
"So, what's your report?" Mithos asked stretching while he walked over to Kratos. Kratos sighed.
"Every town and village for miles has human soldiers occupying it. I don't think we'll get a room for the night. Yuan sighed in frustration.
"It's all…it's all those damn humans fault!" he yelled out in anger.
"Yuan." Martel whispered her green eyes filled with sadness.
"Yuan! It's thoughts like that, that started this war! You mustn't think like that." Mithos said.
"It's true though Mithos, isn't that right, Kratos?" Yuan yelled back at the auburn haired man he pulled out his double-edged sword and pointed it at him. Kratos didn't answer, but just sat there, smiling. Mithos ran in front of Yuan's sword.
"Please, Yuan, Kratos didn't do anything wrong and you know it. He protected Martel, and that's what's important." Yuan put his sword away and turned his back to Kratos, and Mithos his ponytail swinging behind him. He sighed.
"I…I'm sorry. It's just that, were not accepted anywhere." He said. Martel walked over to him and took both his hands and said.
"That's why, we'll help make ourselves accepted." She said. Yuan sighed again and to everyone's surprise sat down next to Kratos, who just looked at him. Martel and Mithos went back inside the main of the camp. Kratos who was looking at Yuan noticed a small shiny object in his hand.
"So, you haven't told her yet?" Kratos asked. Yuan still holding the object clenched his fist, and sighed.
"Heh, no, not yet." Yuan said, now playing with the object, which was a ring. A rustling nearby made both of them tense, and look up.
"Lord Yuan! Lord Mithos!" a half-elven man guard cried, running into their encampment. Yuan jumped to his feet, and Kratos got up as well.
"What? What is it? What's wrong?" Mithos asked pushing the tent flap out of his way. The messengers still catching his breathe said, in broken sentences.
"The…humans. Almost…through, Latheon Gorge." He finished gasping for air.
"WHAT!" Yuan yelled. Martel now came out of the tent, and noticing the panting guard, gave him something to drink.
"How, how the hell are they almost through Latheon Gorge?" Yuan asked the man just shook his head back and forth, too tired to answer.
"It seems, we misjudged the humans capabilities." Kratos said calmly as he watched Yuan pacing the camp, his cape flying out behind him. He stopped and turned to Kratos.
"How can you be so calm? They're about to make it to Ymir in two days at the most!" The messenger, now recovered, interjected.
"Not if we get reinforcements, sir." Yuan looked at the man and stood there. His right hand on his chin and his left hand on his right elbow this was his thinking position.
"There's no time for that! None of the other generals are near enough to lend us support. They'll be on the border of Ymir forest before we get any back up." Kratos said, and Mithos nodded in agreement.
"You there! Get me Forcystus's location…now!" Yuan suddenly yelled. Everyone stared at him in bewilderment.
"But, Yuan. Forcystus is in Sylvarant, isn't he?" Mithos asked.
"We have no choice Mithos! We need reinforcements, unless you want Heimdall to be completely destroyed?" Yuan asked, walking back into the main tent, leaving everyone in a deep and utter silence.
