Yin: Ok, 'The Contest' is on hold seeing as I am totally out of inspiration.

So I started this ficcie and I'm planning on making this a multi chapter one as well. This is a Kranna fic…my first.

I hope this'll turn out ok… I was planning on writing a Kranna the moment I made my account so here it is. The Contest is still my first priority though, so the moment inspiration strikes this one will be on hold.

This ficcie is dedicated to Eyes of the infinite galaxy and all other Kranna lovers that happen upon this fic.

I disclaim all

"Get to work!"

"Stop slacking!"

"Filthy human!"

The sounds of whips cracking and colliding with the 'host bodies' could be heard. Along with the cries of pain that emitted themselves from the 'host bodies' throats.

Kratos Aurion was patrolling the hallways of the Asgard Human ranch, by order of 'Lord' Yggdrasill. He sighed warily; it was torture having to check the progress of the ranches. Seeing those poor people slaving until at one point…

"How dare you!" exclaimed a certain Desian at an elderly man. "You shall pay for your insolence."

He raised his whip high in the air ready to strike. Kratos lowered his head shaking it slightly. He awaited the man's cry knowing very well that there was nothing he could do. He heard the whip hit but it wasn't a man's cry, no, a woman took the hit. Kratos raised his head and turned to watch the scene. A young woman with beautiful brown hair was standing over the man in a protective stance.

'Brave…' thought Kratos watching the events unfold.

"You bitch!" said the man pushing the young woman to the floor and kicking the old man away. "You'll pay for interrupting his punishment." He raised his whip high again, but before he was able to strike Kratos got in the way.

"Lord Aurion, what are you doing?" asked the man perplexed. "Why would you help this pathetic being?"

"Leave her to me," said Kratos in his usual cold tone.

Kratos grabbed the woman's arm and pulled her away to another room. Once he entered the room, the Desians went back to threatening the workers.

"That was brave of you to help that man," said Kratos to the girl as he released her.

"Why did you save me from that Desian, you're one of them aren't you?" she asked looking at the floor.

"You could say that," said Kratos nodding his head. "Then why, why would you help me?" she asked again only this time she looked Kratos square in the eye.

"I don't know," said Kratos shaking his head slightly. "What? How can you not know?" she asked anger evident in her tone. "Hmph," he grunted letting his hand fall over his sword. "I suggest you watch your tone." He glared at the woman slightly and she returned his gaze. There was no fear in her features, and that surprised Kratos a bit.

"What's you name?" asked Kratos; his tone seemed to demand an answer.

"Give me your name and I'll give you mine," (now we know where Lloyd got that from) she said with a confident smirk, knowing that this man could kill her in an instant but not caring one bit.

"You seem a bit too confident for your own good," began Kratos, "I suggest you change that if you want to live." His grip on his sword tightened as he watched the woman's confidence vanish little by little; still no fear though. "Now answer my question."

The girl sighed lowering her head. "My name's Anna, Anna Irving," she replied softly.

Yin: Ok, that's chapter one. Short I know but it's gonna get better…I hope
