Commandant: Okay! So this is the first time I've ever done anything like this… Voila! Self-insert!
Fia: I can't believe you're doing this.
Commandant: Oh shush up. Oh. This is Fia. From now on I have an avatar type spirit muse thing...
Fia: Th-thing?!
Commandant: Whatever. Disclaimer, Fia!
Fia: Commandant does not own Tales of Symphonia or any of its characters. Thing... T.T
I stared at the computer screen in horror. My face was pale.
"What have I done…?"
I stared at the computer screen then at the dozens of candy wrappers around me. I had been on sugar high? Well that explained a lot. Still... what was I thinking?! I grabbed the mouse and scrolled down the word document, scanning the atrocity that I had written.
A Sue. I had written about a Sue. Not just a Sue, but a Drew too! More specifically, Mary Alice Tiffany Bella Marie Sue and Gary Alex Ryan Stephen Edward Drew. Super beautiful, super smart, super good at everything they did. My eyebrows twitched as I continued to stare at the screen.
I went over the thing again and grimaced. A Tales of Symphonia fic. I cannot believe I just wrote about a Sue and Drew in Tales of Symphonia. Oh well. No harm done. I closed the document and shut the computer off. I got up and threw my trench coat on and checked the mirror as I got ready for an excruciating trip to the mall.
"...You..."
Whoa. Was I hearing things? What was that?
"You barely understand the danger you have unleashed upon this world, do you?"
What??? What danger? I'm completely harmless.
"Human... You have unleashed a great evil into our world!"
Wait... I know that voice... I've heard it before, but from where...?
"You created this monster; therefore you must destroy it yourself."
Ooh! I know! Origin from Tales of Symphonia! ...Wait. What...?
"Brace yourself, human!"
And then... everything went black.
"Wake up, human."
My eyes blinked open at the sound. That voice… had an English accent… I… wait. I was probably hallucinating; last I remembered I was hearing Origin talk like a Mr. Voice. That was probably a hallucination too. Ehhh… Maybe I'll go to sleep. Hallucinations are a bad sign. Maybe sleeping will get rid of them.
"Human."
I opened my eyes and saw violet eyes stare down at me. Violet eyes? That's weird… Wait. That's…
I pushed myself up into a sitting position and stared at the summon spirit. Was this a dream? Neh. I never remember my dreams if I do dream at all. So… hallucination? I don't think it's possible for the whole room to change because of a hallucination.
I mean, the whole room had changed into a weird throne room. It reminded me of a medieval castle, only everything was much more beautiful. There were these pillars of stone with vines of flowers snaking up them. And the throne. The throne was, well... it looked solid, but at the same time it looked as though it was made out of light. It was like a picture from a fairy tale.
"Origin?"
"Correct, human." he answered, a bit stiffly.
"First of all, stop calling me human. My name's Cecilia. Second, well... uh... I never remember the dreams I have if I even dream at all and I don't think hallucinations can affect a whole room, so... this is real?" I asked, nervously. What the heck was happening? Ooh... wait. I've read stories about this before.
"Yes, this is real." Origin said in a tone that sounded as if he was looking down on me.
"Okay," I said, smiling. Yes. Smiling. I tend to start smiling like crazy when I get nervous, and this was one of those situations that made me nervous. Yeah, I know it's a weird habit. "So... any reason for me being here?"
Instead of answering my question, the room somehow changed into... the Altamira beach? I looked at Origin and... he was still there, just see-through... Some guy suddenly walked through me. As in he passed right through me. I let out a shriek as I looked down at myself. I was also see-through. I gave Origin a "WTF" look.
He just chuckled and told me, "Just look."
I turned towards the direction he was looking at and... I saw the most beautiful woman. She was wearing a black bikini and had a statuesque model figure. She had long shimmering blonde hair and beautiful crystal blue eyes. My mouth dropped.
"Wh- what is this?! Origin, you pervert!" I was usually better at keeping my emotions in check but, SERIOUSLY?! He brought me here just to look at girls?! WTF?! I am a girl. Gross, Origin. Gross.
The king of spirit's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Pervert?" he asked in a low dangerous voice. "I am merely showing you the product of your insane writing."
My eyes bulged at this.
"Wait... the Sue?"
Altamira suddenly disappeared as it was replaced by the throne room. Origin was solid again...
"Yes. I believe that is what your kind calls them. Mary Sues..." Origin all but gagged.
"My kind...?" I asked, a bit insulted. "But, wait... how was that... that creature! my fault?"
"You wrote about it."
"And that make it my fault." I stated more than ask. Origin sighed wearily.
"You see... When one of your kind writes a story, the story affects our world no matter what." he explained.
"So the Sue...?"
"Yes the Mary Sue you wrote about is here, as well as your Gary Drew."
"Bu-but that wasn't the one I wrote about!" I told the spirit. Origin kinda smiled at me in a creepy way.
"No, it's not the one you wrote about."
"But?" I asked, knowing that there was going to be a 'but'.
"Those creatures you wrote about are like parasites. They multiply." he told me, still smiling that creepy smile. The way my face felt, I could bet the expression was priceless.
"Bu-but, it's not like they're doing anything bad, so it's okay, right?!" I asked him. Sues and Drews were like perfect goody-goody two shoes. They weren't evil...
"You writers are very unaware. Those creatures may be perfect, but they can still be defined as "good guys" or "bad guys"." Origin said dryly.
"So Cruxis just might have a bunch of Sues and Drews on their side?" I asked. Origin didn't even need to answer. The look on his face was enough to tell me that yes they did.
"Well, it's not like I can do anything about that!" I told the spirit.
"You must reap what you have sown." he told me stoically.
"I what...?"
A white crystal appeared out of no where in a burst of white mana.
"You must take responsibility for your actions." Origin said, as the crystal floated towards me.
"What's this?" I asked, staring at the crystal suspiciously.
"Something that will help you fight those creatures."
I stared at the crystal a while longer before letting out a long sigh.
"Well, it's not like you're giving me much of a choice." I said as I reached out and took the crystal.
A bright light burst forward from the crystal and then...
"Whoa. What was that light? Is... is that a girl?! Hey are you okay? Hey!"
Commandant: Cecilia has now received the title Huntress of Evil!!!
Fia: You suck.
Commandant: Oh, you're just mad that I said thing. Well, you're not. You're a muse. Sorry I said thing.
Fia: Hmmph!
Commandant: (eye rolls) Anyway, review and tell me what you think.
