Chapter 1: The Chosen
School: noun; a place of learning. For most of the students at the Iselia schoolhouse, this was the correct definition. For one student, though, school meant something totally different.
"Lloyd...Lloyd Irving, wake up!" The sound of a female voice interrupted the boy's thoughts. With a well-placed eraser to the head, he was fully awake.
"Is class over?" he asked. The teacher just shook herhead and continued the lesson, which concerned the oracle and the Chosen. After a while, the was a flash of light and the teacher left. Lloyd, always the one to get into trouble at every opportunity, followed, along with his best friend, Genis.
At Martel Temple
"I suppose you are the Chosen?" At the sound of the voice, Lloyd looked around.
"Who said that?" Genis asked. Colette stepped forward.
"Yes. I'm the Chosen." At Colette's words, a woman stepped out from the shadows near the church steps.
"Then I suggest you watch your back." the strange woman gestured toward a group of 'hidden' people.
"We can take them!" Lloyd said. "Let's go, guys." So they went up the stairs and were promptly attacked by the 'Desians'. "See! I was right! No problem." lloyd smiled triumphantly.
"You think so?" the woman asked, gesturing vaguly to the giant approaching them. Lloyd just smiled again and charged. Not even two minutes later, the three were on their knees trying to catch their breath. The giant started to come at them, but he was stopped by the intervention of a mercenary. The three, having caught their breath, started chargin again, and defeated thegiant in no time with the newcomer's help.The giant and his men retreated and the mercenary introduced himself.
"My name is Kratos, and I am a mercenary." he said, eyes moving over the party.
"I'm Genis, and this is Lloyd, and Colette." the silver-haired half-elf said.
"Colette is the Chosen, apparantly." the woman said. Kratos looked up at her from the children and almost lost his breath. She had long brown, almost black, hair and soft, liquid brown eyes. She stood about 5'7" and carried herself proudly. She wore a simple black dress with a pair of fingerless black gloves and a pair of knee-high black boots. She raised her chin slightly and cocked an eyebrow at him. "Pick up your jaw. It's not polite to stare."
"I apologize. It's just...you remind me of someone." Kratos turned away and led the group into the temple.
It didn't long to reach the upper levels where Colette was to recieve the oracle. Remial appeared and gave her the Cruxis Crystal and her wings. She also learned an angel tech, Angel Feathers. After that little event, it was back to the main chamber. Colette and Kratos had left, so it was just Lloyd, Genis, and the strange woman. Once in the main chamber, however, they were met by Raine, and she kicked both their asses. Then they went back to the school.
