Chapter 1
"The world had just been reunited and saved. It has been two months since we defeated Mithos and restored the Giant Tree, now named Yggdrasill. It is but a little branch but it will turn into the Giant Tree which provides vast amounts of mana into Symphonia. Everybody has started a new journey. Lloyd and Colette left to find all the Exspheres, Kratos returned to Derris Kharlan where he will unload all the Exspheres into the space. Genis and Raine travel around the world to make easier half elves to live. Zelos, still having the rights of the Chosen, and Sheena established peace with Sylvarant. Regal is using his Lezareno Company to rebuild the cities that ended in ruins. Everybody is doing something, while I...I know my time will never come back but I have decided to help rebuild the cities. Alicia, I've finally myself again! And I will do my best to help the world become better than before the destruction".
Regal and Presea had split their jobs so they could focus a lot more in one place. Regal is helping rebuild Palmacosta while Presea's helping her village, Ozette. The pink haired girl using her ax to cut wood to build their houses.
- Presea, you're doing great. Thanks for helping in the reconstruction of our village- one of the surviving humans said
- Job 1 Completed. The world has been saved. Job 2, rebuild the cities and villages that have been destroyed. Comenzing job- Presea answered in her usual serious tone.
- Ha!- the pink haired girl said while swinging her ax to cut the wood into smaller pieces. The girl stopped and ran a hand through her forehead to dry her sweat and dirt.
- I apologize. I must take a break for me to be useful later- Presea said to the humans that were helping.
- Oh, it's fine. You should take a break. Don't push yourself so hard- a woman responded while smiling.
- Agreed- Presea said while walking away. She sheathed her ax at her back and walked to a lone place in the village. The night was falling. She sat on a stump and looked at the sky. She felt something weird running inside her.
- I must...be tired- Presea whispered. She stood up in order to head back to the construction area. She felt a little dizzy. One of the women who were helping, turned to check on Presea. She saw something black around the pink haired girl. She shook her head and widened her eyes but she saw nothing.
- What is this uncomfortable feeling? Is it...a sickness? Augh! I...feel...- the pink haired girl fainted, unfortunately, nobody saw her. Her breathing became heavier and heavier.
- ...up. Presea? Wake up, please- she heard somebody call her. The pink haired girl opened her eyes from a strike, startling the person beside her.
- Presea! Are you all right?- her seeing was a bit blurr but then she could see. A blue haired man stood there.
- ...- Presea kept quiet, her eyes looking at the man
- Presea, what happened? I found you collapsed in Gaorrachia Forest. You were supposed to be in Ozette- Regal asked
- ...-
- Presea? Can you hear me?- the blue haired man asked
- Die!- the pink haired girl said. A black ball came out from her eyes and threw the blue haired man far away, against the wall.
- Agh! Pre...sea? What are...you doi--the man fainted.
- Regal Bryant. You're of no use to me- Presea said and ran outside of the room.
A few hours later
- Lloyd! We heard Presea and Regal were attacked- Genis came running into the brunet's house.
- What? Where?- the Eternal swordsman asked
- They are in Gaorrachia Forest- the silver haired half elf responded. He sounded very worried.
- Where are the others?- the brunet asked
- They headed towards the forest on their Rheairds- Genis answered
- How do you know?- Lloyd asked while he mounted on the red Rheaird.
- Well, we found a note saying they were attacked and held at the forest- Genis responded.
After a few minutes, they arrived at Mizuho. They found Sheena and the rest in the entrance, waiting for both of them.
- Everybody's here?- Lloyd asked
- Almost...everybody- Sheena corrected
- Wait- Lloyd started counting everybody. They were six in total.
- Lloyd! Are you stupid or something?- Genis asked
- What?- Lloyd asked a bit angry
- You don't know who's missing? I can't believe you!- Sheena said
- What do you mean?- Lloyd asked
- Gee, Lloyd. You are amazingly stupid- Zelos said
Sigh Let's get going before it's too late- Raine ordered
They all ran to the forest. Lloyd rubbed his head to try and understand what they meant.
- Ah! I know, Dad's missing! Oh, I get it- Lloyd started very enthusiastic and ended kind of embarrassed.
Anyway, he caught up with the rest. They were all staring at something.
- What's up guys?- Lloyd asked after realizing everybody was frozen
- This...can't be...- Sheena whispered
- What?- Lloyd turned to the front.
- Oh, this isn't good- the brunet said.
- Now, this is strange. What is doing cute little Presea in this horrible place?- the red haired swordsman asked
- Look!- Colette yelled and pointed at Presea.
Everyone gasped once or even twice. Presea's once blue eyes were black. Her once cute dress was now a black cloak and her pink hair tails now were undone.
- Good! Regal, you were useful after all- the pink haired girl said.
- ...- the blue haired man looked fainted
- Presea? What...happened?- Genis asked
- What are you doing...dressed like that?- Lloyd asked
- That's none of your concern. Give me the book!- Presea ordered. Her voice seemed to have changed.
- What...book?- Sheena asked very worried
Presea narrowed her eyes, in sign of anger and lifted her arms. Black energy came out of them which lifted Raine.
- Presea! What are you doing!- Genis yelled while he watched his sister in the air.
- Leave her alone, please!- Colette yelled
- No! This is--
- Quiet!- Presea yelled. Raine was thrown against a tree where she fainted. A black book was dropped from her bag.
- Perfect! Now, come to me!- Presea said as the book floated towards her. Everyone watched very scared of what was happening. Genis ran up to his sister who was unharmed, she only had fainted.
- Haha! Now, the power of darkness is mine!- Presea said when she grabbed the book. Suddenly, a black curtain of smoke surrounded her and she disappeared.
