Tales of Symphonia: My Version
By: Kimu Uchiha
Chapter One: Prologue
A/N: Hello once again everyone. I know I should be updating my other story but I'm making a ridiculously long chapter for The World of Vampyre/Werewolf Angels and Demons so I haven't updated that story yet. Plus this story has been plaguing my mind for almost 5 years already, since the release of the video game Tales of Symphonia. So I finally decided to write my version of this game/anime. Hope you enjoy it :3
Prologue; Kratos' POV
It's been five and a half years since Anna and I had our son, Lloyd, and three and a half since we had his sister, Layla. We were by the human ranch of a village called Iselia. Anna and our children wanted to rest, so I agreed for a short while. During our rest, however, we were caught by Kavar of the five desian grand cardinals.
"Noishe, hide the kids" Anna told our dog, although some may call him a monster. Noishe hid Layla by a bush not too far from us and went to get Lloyd when Kavar grabbed Anna.
"Filthy human, how dare you steal my exsphere" Kavar growled at Anna as he removed the exsphere from her hand.
"No!" I said, but it was too late. Anna started to transform into a monster and was about to attack Lloyd. Noishe got Lloyd away from Anna and also got hold of the exsphere.
"K-kratos….pl-ease, k-kill me" Anna said when she regained control of herself for a while, "p-lease h-hurry."
Anna went out of control again and tried to eat Lloyd. With a heavy heart, I killed Anna. Shortly after, Kavar attacked and pushed Lloyd and Noishe off the cliff along with the exsphere and Anna. And so began my fight with Kavar and his men.
At the bottom of the cliff; Dirk's POV
As I was gathering materials for a crafting item I was requested to do, I heard a child crying. I went around and saw a little boy, a rather large dog, an exsphere, and a dying woman.
"Hey, hold on. I'll get you some help" I told the woman, but she stopped me.
"N-no, j-just…p-please…take care of…m-my s-son…"she said, "H-his n-name…is L-lloyd…p-please t-take c-care of him a-and h-hide t-the…exsphere h-he has…" with that, she died. The boy was no more than 5 years old. I took him and his dog and ran to my house.
Top of the cliff; Kratos' POV
"D-damn, retreat for now" Kavar said and took his remaining men and fled. I went to the bush where Noishe had hidden Layla and even though she was scared, Layla jumped into my arms and cried on my shoulder. We then descended the cliff, only to find the desian corpses, half eaten by monsters. I had a horrible feeling that Lloyd had been eaten as well.
"Papa, where big brother?" Layla asked me.
"…Big brother is probably with mama now, Layla" I told her.
"So, mama and big brother watch over us now?" she asked innocently, as only a young child can.
"Yeah, they're watching over us now…Let's go, we're going to go to uncle Mithos' home now" I told her as I took out my wings and flew towards Derris-Kharlan.
"Papa have wings! I want wings too!" Layla exclaimed while gripping tightly on my shirt.
When we got to the entrance of Mithos' castle, Mithos came and greeted us.
"I see you've returned Kratos" he said to me, "And who's this little one?" he asked when he saw Layla.
"She's my daughter, Layla" I said. Layla just nodded her head very shyly, since she never knew other people except me, Anna and her brother.
"Hello there, Layla-chan" Mithos said in a kind voice, all he got as a reply was a shy wave.
It was the start of a new beginning for her and me.
To Be Continued…
