Kratos's salvation.

"Goodbye, my son."
These words were the last I said to a living person in a long time.
My world is a drifting mass of energy.
A comet of mana.
One big place of illusion.
Here I stand facing judgement.
My sins and the sins of my kind.
My age I have long forgotten.
I am ageless, yet not immortal.

I have no longer a sense of time.
My son should be dead by now.
I hope he accomplished his quest to collect all the exspheres.
The sun's gravity still has hold of this...hell.
One day I shall return to the living world.
To see what has happened.
To see the world my son helped to create
To see... my salvation, and find peace.

I used to guide salvation.
In a time were the world was split in two.
Fighting for one supply of mana.
Numerous chosens have failed.
Why was that last journey different?
Why did this chosen and the others succeed, when others failed to even reach the first seal?

I asked myself this question a thousand times.
I think it was the passion.
My son was enthusiastic, and tended to draw out the best of people.
He always saw hope.
My energy once held the key to a seal.
In order to open the seal, I needed to be dead.
Yet he tried to do things different, he tried to stop me from killing myself.
I learned that one gets only one chance at life.
It was a lesson that I should have taught him.
My son's power wasn't his strenght nor battle skills but rather his understanding of the world.
I understand now that he didn't battle for just protection the chosen but for everybody around him.
His will was strong, far stronger then anyone would think.
Everybody underestimated him, myself included.
He and the chosen's group won against all odds.
I felt myself drawn to be part of that group.
I wanted to be his friend, while in reality I was his father.
A Father who killed his own wife.
A Father who betrayed his son.

I decided to remain here, to take responsibility for myself and the group I represented.
But as this comet soars through space, towards the planet where it all started, I hope that I will finally find...Salvation.
