Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology

"The flower that blooms in adversity"

A/N: O.M.G. O^O There are more reviews and faves than I expected~! Thank you all so much~! I'm so happy~! And if any of you who are interested, I have already posted the chapter one of my ToS fic in my profile. Here is chapter 3, then!

Luke: I think you forgot about the disclaimer in the last two chapters, Heart.

Heartbringer: GAH! You're right! Thanks Luke~! 3 Konnono, please do the disclaimer.

Konnono: Heartbringer does not own the Tales characters, only her OCs. ^^

Estelle: On with the story, then. ^^

Summary: A Descender is born from The World Tree that will bring salvation to the world and defeat the Devourer. Only problem is, she was born without being able to speak, think, and act well. She's like an infant in a 17 yr. old body! OC inserts.

"The flower that blooms in adversity, is the most rare and beautiful of all." By - (A/N: I don't think I need to explain this XP)

Chapter 3: Getting to know names and Zelos the Playboy

"My, my. This is a little embarrassing.", said the male with shoulder length brown hair with wine red eyes and glasses which he adjusted and smiled. He wore clothes that pronounces that he is a general of sort.

"Sorry about the noisy, sensei. It's just that…we had a little trouble with our request, so…", said the teen with dark wood brown hair and warm brown eyes as he scratched his nape. He had a red long sleeved cotton shirt with silver buttons, loose black cargo pants supported by suspenders, and two dual swords strapped on each side of his hip.

"It was definitely not an accident!", blurted the teen with sunset red hair with light green eyes. He wore a white coat of some sorts with coattails and it was open within the abdominal area where one can see the well toned stomach. A black shirt within the coat that just stop above the stomach, loose brown pants and his sword strapped behind his person.

"Not this again… Will you just drop it already!",said the annoyed teen next to him. Blood red hair reaching to his waist, bangs were fixed up, eyes narrowed in a darker green then the latter, and he wore clothes that portrays a swordsman in a high rank.

"He's right Luke. I'd say let's just drop it 'cuz it ain't going anywhere.", said another teen with red hair. Apple red to be exact. His hair reached his waist but were curled at the end and has blue eyes. He wore a pink sleeveless duster over a black tank top and white pants. He also had elbow-length pink and black gloves, and his sword-dagger was in a sheath on his belt. His voice was somewhat mocking on what he said to the boy-Luke. Mischievous blue eyes turned to the five in the room, smirk still in place. His eyes then landed on a certain bluenette, and the next thing you know…

"What a cutie~!", he tackled the bluenette into an unexpected embrace that got everyone looking in the same direction.

"Wow, she's a cute one! Isn't this the girl Yuri and Sheena talked about? She's really pretty lookin'!"

"Z-Zelos, don't be like that around her! She just woke up! Hey!" Genis, trying to reason, only came on deaf ears as Zelos kept cooing the girl.

"Zelos Wilder! Step away from that poor girl!, said Reine in annoyance from the boy behavior.

"C'mon Zelos, you're scaring her!" Lloyd protested but to no avail.

"Oh c'mon, Lloyd! She's just too cute! Don't tell me you disagree?", ranting on, Zelos or the others did not expect happened. Before anyone could blink, the bluenette pushed Zelos off her and not meaning to be forceful but when Lloyd caught the carefree red head, both of them were knocked down on the ground.

The blunette then ran over to the older males and hid behind them. Kratos sighed while Jade just smiled. "I do believe introductions are needed?", said Jade.

Kratos nodded then sighed. "I suppose."

xXx

After a little while the occupants of the room made themselves comfortable however they can. Fortunately the lounge was large for the eleven of them to find a seat. Lloyd sat next to Luke, while Ach sat next to Zelos, much to Asch' liking, Kratos next to Jade, the bluenette next to Konnono and Mormo, and Genis occupying a seat next to the empty one for his sister to sit. She went to the kitchen and came back with glasses filled with a dark pink liquid.

It was an already made Kirima juice. A glass for each of them. Placing the tray carefully in the middle of the lounge table, Reine took one glass and gave it to the bluenette. Who happily took it then Reine settled herself next to her brother.

"Let us begin then.", said Reine.

"Yes. To the subject of course, the young lady sitting next to Konnono.", said Jade with a smile at the said girls direction.

The girl next to Konnono took a sip of the juice that Reine gave her. Tasting the liquid, she noticed that it was slight on the bitter side but came out sweet within a few seconds. With a smile on her face she continued to drink the content slowly, savoring the taste.

"That was totally cute.", said Zelos with his signature smile.

"What's her name, sensei?", asked Lloyd as he himself grabbed a glass of his own.

"Well, that's the problem though." Reine paused and took a sip of her drink. "It seems that she has some trouble in her speech to communicate. She hasn't said one word when she awoke."

"Not a word? You sure?", asked Luke in disbelief.

"Well, not exactly…She can still make audible noises and such, and I think she can understand us, albeit only a little. If that gives any of you any ideas.", said Genis as he already drank half of his beverage.

Speaking of beverages, the bluenette's glass was already empty and she wants more of the sweet and cool drink. The girl turned to Konnono then tugged the sleeve of her free arm. Konnono noticing the tug, stopped drinking and looked at her.

The bluenette showed her empty glass to the pink haired girl. Smiling and understanding this, took the empty glass from her hands. "You like some more Kirima juice?", she asked.

Somewhat understanding her, the blunette nodded. Konnono smiled more before standing up and going to the kitchen. Since Konnono won't be back for a bit, Mormo took the space on the bluenette's lap and laid there like any other cat. The girl, this time, did not mind at all.

"The girl can't speak?" Asch raised a brow. "Well that was pointless. Why save her at all if she is disable?"

"Asch!" came a series of chorused voices.

"You can't be serious!", said Zelos.

"Don't be so cold Asch!", retorted Luke.

"You shouldn't talk to people like that, Asch!", said Lloyd.

"Lloyd is right!", agreed Genis.

"I agree. That was rather rude to say, Asch.", said Reine.

"I second what Reine said.", said Jade as he adjusted his glasses. While Kratos was only silent in his seat.

"Tch!", was all Ach said as he sank a little more in his seat, arms crossed. A scowl in his features.

"We still have a problem though." All attention went to Kratos. And by this time Konnono came back from the kitchen and had heard everything earlier.

"If she is unable to speak. We cannot know her name. And it will be troublesome to make a new name for her." He sighed.

"Kratos does have a point.", sighed Luke.

The occupants in the lounge were silent. Some of them were in deep thought and others were just sitting there. The bluenette noticing the somewhat tense atmosphere, looked around. Noticed that they were silent and in their own thoughts. She could not understand much, but the sentence 'Know her name' and were looking at her that time.

There was then a sudden tingling feeling within her. Then she felt as though it wants her to move her mouth a speak something.

"S-Se…", she began. Mormo's ears twitched at this and looked up from the blunette's lap.

"Se…Se…!"

"Konnono. Konnono.", said Mormo as he tapped the pinkette's lap.

"Hm? What is it, Mormo?", asked Konnono. Mormo's little hand to the bluenette next to her.

"Seraph-"

"She's talking?" Konnono said unintentionally out loud from her bewildered state.

Heads turned to their direction to see that, indeed, the blunette tries to speak.

"Sera…phima-!"

"Seraphima?", chorused the latter.

"…Nocturne…"

A/N: And there you have it! Another chapter done. Hope you guys weren't bored with this one. It is a filler chapter. I want to make things as understandable as I could. Hope to see you all again. R&R! Chiao~!

Zelos: Finally my screen time came up!

Luke: Why are you so happy about that?

Zelos: C'mon Luke! It's Tales of the World, for pete's sake! There are a LOT of characters in the Tales series! Which means I won't have much air time for my hunnies~! T^T

Yuri: Talk about over dramatic. _

Zelos: Who asked you, Yuri!

Heartbringer: Ahehehe.. While I keep them from killing each other, review please. Knock it off, guys!
