Alsenei: Woohoo! I finally got a ficcy done. (starts sweating) Okay, this is my first ever fanfic, so please don't be too harsh. It's based on Tower of Salvation 1, when Colette loses her soul. O-kay, disclaimer time!
NeoKiti: (reads off little card, starts sweating) Alsenei does not own Tales of Symphonia or any of its characters. So don't sue us! (whispers) Was that good?
Alsenei: Good enough.
"Where am I?" I stood up and looked around the area. It's so dark, and I can't see anything. One minute I was saying good-bye to Lloyd, next thing I know, I'm in this... place.
"Lloyd!" I gasped as I realized that he wasn't here. I started to run to direction that appeared to be less dark than the others. I came to a sudden stop when a sort of mirror thing appeared before me.
'Wha!' I thought as I looked into it. My reflection was starting back at me, but I noticed that I wasn't wearing my usual blue and white outfit. Instead, I was wearing a plain, white long-sleeved gown. And my wings were out for some reason. I raised my hand to touch the surface, but suddenly it began to swirl and figures started appearing in it. What I saw surprised me.
Lloyd and the others were fighting Remiel. But why though? Shouldn't Sylvarant have been regenerated, and I have become Martel's new vessel? So why- Ohhhh...
I remember know. Lloyd had jumped on to the platform to try and stop me from sacrificing my heart and memory. He heard my voice somehow, and he kept apologizing about breaking his promise to me. But he never broke his promise, even though he doesn't realize it. His eyes were welling up with tears the entire time, and I wish I could still feel the way he was holding me. But I did it all for him. He grew up without his mother and father, and he deserves to live more than I do. I still remember how we had tried to hold onto each other as long as we could while I began to float towards Remiel's side. But was it really for the best...
No! I had to do this. If I didn't, everyone would continue to suffer and die. There would be more victims like Marble and Clara. And Lloyd would have to suffer alongside them. I know I made the right decision by sacrificing myself because now my life can be used to restore this world.
"Colette, come back to us!"
"Lloyd!" I cried as his voice snapped me back to reality. "Lloyd, I'm right here!" I cried as I began pounding on the mirror. Can he see me? Will he be able to save me from this darkness?
"Colette, have you really forgotten me?" he whispered with the saddest look I've ever seen on his face.
No! How can I? You're the most important person in my life! I could never forget you! I fell to the ground in despair. He thinks I've forgotten him. But I can't tell him because I can no longer control my body. I'm just a soul waiting to die. Cold, it's starting to get so cold...
I look back into the mirror and see that they're fighting Kratos now. This never would've happened if I'd have gone with the teachings to not love. But I love Lloyd, although he might not feel the same way. I spelled it out for him on his hand in Hima, but I never got a straight answer. I wish I hadn't now.
Oh, good, they survived the fight with Kratos, but who's that man they're fighting now? He looks familiar, somewhat. My body started shaking. This man has really powerful mana! He's too strong for them in their state! But all I can do is watch as they fight.
Suddenly they stop fighting and Botta comes running up from the pathway. Why is he here? I saw the man the others were fighting summon the purple sword that rested in front of the platform, and unleashed a great wave of mana.
"Sheena!" I screamed as I watched the summoner crash into a side of the platform. I can't let them hurt her, either. She's been like a big sister to me. But something else caught my eye.
"No! Lloyd!" I screeched with tears streaming from my eyes as he flew across the platform and hit a pillar from the force of the blast. The pillar broke and fell on top of him as he was knocked unconscious.
"Please, live!" I wailed as I pounded the mirror and my legs gave way. I'm so useless! I can only watch as my friends get hurt trying to save me. It started getting colder as I wrapped myself up in a ball. The man and Kratos retreated, and Botta and his men started tending to the others. I see them guide my body to a teleporter along with Lloyd. Good, he's still breathing. I saw him stir a bit and look at me with an expression of despair on his face, but then he falls unconscious again.
I don't care what I have to do, as long as they all live. All I can do is watch you from this cold, dark place and wait for my fate. Just watch, and hope.
Alsenei: I just realized that Colette might be a little OC. Oh well. I did this on Microsoft Word, so I don't know how long it is. Anyways, please review! I'm open to advice, but any flames will be used in either my burning thing (see profile) or to make toast over. Nummy.
