Disclaimer: I do not own Tales of Symphonia, or its spin-off, Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk. If I did, the trailers would show Kratos returning, and give more hints on Lloydie turning "evil". At least they didn't rule out Yuan showing up...
Whispers of Tragedy
By: Foenfyre
Whispers in the shadows,
Tell a heart-wrenching tale.
The heart of a hero—blackened?
And the world has gone to Hell.
They speak of bloody swords—
Down, by the city on the sky-blue sea.
Undine's blessing now withdrawn,
All that is left now is to weep.
'Sound the call', the soldiers cry!
They take their weapons, up in arms—
'Call the Vanguard, they will be the defenders!'
Prepare for war on all sides...
The cursed city on the sea,
Just rebuilt the other day,
Becomes the scene for a repeated tragedy.
A swordsman turns his back again, in its wake.
'He is evil! A foul soul, this man!'
'He is not! The trials he's faced–a hero throughout!'
The choristers of hope sing to all,
Their rousing tune bringing life,
But the scars and blood in the land are sighted,
Now—what proof is there for that?
Whispers in the shadows,
Whispers within them all.
What is faith but a tool,
To comfort those without hope?
Cobbled ground, ruined and cracked;
Buildings, merely newborns, razed.
Why is it that tragedy,
Cannot seem to avoid this place?
A/N: Basically the thoughts of the people on Lloyd's leading the Purge of Blood in Palmcosta--Other than Luin, I really feel sorry for that place taking all the damage. I just hope that a lot of the people managed to leave via the port, and feel sorry for Emil's parents...
I really wonder what Raine and the others think, I know that I started squealing like mad when I checked Wikipedia and looked at some forums that declared Lloyd is evil...
