I do NOT own Tales of Symphonia. If I did, Colette would be dead long time ago (sniper shot OR suicide… maybe even both ;D ) and Genis would be emo. So let's just leave it there. It's snowing like crazy, which gives me inspiration to write. But there's a snowstorm coming up, so I'll maybe be without a computer in a long time. Also at this chapter I had many cases of writers block. Anyway, here's Chapter 7, enjoy!
Sheena slowly opens her eyes. Her vision at first she rubs her eyes and then her vision clears up. Corrine jumps up in her lap. "Good morning!"
She smiles back, "Morning." Corrine jumped down from her lap as she got up. "Last night was a real failure, huh...?"
Corrine smiles weakly, "You were really close. I'm sure next time it'll work out..."
"Yeah..." Sheena sighed, "Hope so..."
"Don't worry. I'm sure of it!"
Sheena smiles weakly and then hugs Corrine. "Thank you…"
Corrine looked at Sheena, "I believe in you. But you also have to believe in yourself, otherwise it's never going to work… "
"You're right…" She sighed and then leaned her head back to the tree. "Heheh… I'm so stupid…" Corrine looked at her with concern.
Sheena stretched her arms up in the air. "I wonder were they are right now?" she hummed. Corrine looked at her. "Maybe they're still there."
'Is it worth the time to check? Well we don't have any other clues so…'
"Let's go then!" Sheena said. Corrine jumped down from her lap as she got up.
In Palmacosta, something must had happened, since there was a huge gathering of people. "What's going on here?" Sheena tried to get a closer look. She pushed her way through all of the people until she was at the front row of the gathering of people. "Oh, my god… Wh-What's going on?!"
There was a woman standing on a wooden platform. Her hands were tied together and there was a rope with a loop in front of her.
"They're going to execute her." The man beside her answered.
Sheena looked shocked. "Why?"
The man sighed, "She resisted against the Desians. So, they're going to execute her."
She clenched her fists. "Why's no one doing anything?!" she whispered for herself.
They placed the rope around that woman's neck.
"Get out of the way! Lord Magnius approaches!" A Desian called out.
A man with red hair and a scar across his nose walked up to the wooden platform.
A scared man turned around and looked at him. "It's Magnius from the eastern ranch…!"
The man with red hair suddenly grabbed the man's neck and lifted him up, "It's LORD Magnius vermin!!"
A chocking sound was heard. The red-haired man smiled and let go of the man's neck. He fell to the ground, dead. Some Desians moved his body away.
"This woman refused to give us items." a Desian said."Therefore, we shall now execute this woman."
"No!!" somebody shouted. A girl ran up to the wooden platform. It was probably the daughter to that woman who was about to get executed.
"Back of lady" A Desian said. The girl stopped running immediately. "Or else you'll end the same way as this woman." He continued. "We'll make you suffer in ways that will leave you begging for death."
She frowned. "Do you think Governor-General Dorr will let you get away with this?!"
"Dorr?" the red-haired man laughed. "Don't get your hopes up lady!"
Just as he was about to give the signal to execute the doomed woman, he was hit by a small rock. He turned around and saw a small boy throw rocks at him. He missed the next rock.
"You, disgusting little vermin!"
He jumped down from the platform and started to walk towards the little boy, who could do nothing else than continue throwing rocks as his defense.
'No!' Sheena shut her eyes tight, she didn't want to see this. 'Why doesn't anyone do something!!?'
"Stop right there!" a voice said.
"Ugh!"
Sheena opened her eyes. She then the brown haired guy that was one of the Chosen's guardian or friend.
The silver haired woman runs up to him, "Lloyd, do you realize what you're doing? If you go against the Desians this city will end up just like Iselia!"
"It's not the same! This city doesn't have a non-aggression treaty with the Desians!" he said. "How can we go on a journey of regeneration, if we can't even save the people in front of us?"
"Lloyd's right!" The blonde girl stepped forward. ('Oh, yippee… you again…') "I can't just stand here and let this happen!" she said.
The silver-haired woman didn't look so convinced and against their idea. "Lloyd, you should think twice before you do your actions. Do you realize what can happen to the people of this city?"
"That's right, I know fully of what I'm doing. As I said before, I'm going to destroy them all, the entire ranch!" he said, a little dramatic.
"Lloyd, that's insanity." The silver-haired woman sighed.
The brown-haired guy frowned, "They're only after me and Colette anyway." He turned around and looked at the Chosen. "And besides, we have the Chosen on our side, the savior of the world. Right, Colette?"
She stepped forward and then turned around to the brown-haired guy, "Yep! I'm going to fight for everybody's sake!"
There went some whispers through the gathering of people like 'Is she the Chosen?' 'The Chosen one herself has come to rescue us?'
"You, you're the wanted criminal Lloyd Irwing, that boy with the Exsphere." He laughed. "This is perfect! Once I've removed that from that inferior being, I shall become one of the 4 seraphim. Get him!" He commanded.
A Desian magician started to charge up a spell against him. The silver-haired boy runs in front of him to protect his friend. He surrounds him self in a green protecting aura. The fire ball hit his shield, the boy didn't look harmed.
"Amateurs." The boy said out loudly as he walked past his friend.
The red-haired Desian didn't take that very well. "I'll take care of this woman first!" He quickly gave the signal. The floor underneath the woman folded down and the woman sprawled with her legs, hoping to get down. Her daughter looked devastated. She cried.
"No!" The Chosen threw her chakram against the rope. The rope cut of and the woman fell do the ground, gasping for air. Her daughter ran up to her mother.
"What the?" The Desian-leader looked at the chakram in the air. The auburn haired man ran up to him and drew his sword.
"Urgh!" He held his hand on his wound.
The auburn man putted his sword away. "Let us respect the wishes of the Chosen."
The whispers started again in the crowd, louder this time.
"Dammit! I'll leave theses inferior being to you! Get them!" The Desian-leader disappeared together with two of his guards. Teleporting.
"How dare you lay a hand on Lord Magnius, You're all dead!" The Desians started to charge up against him. The brown haired guy didn't see them as a threat. He gave them a cocky look. "This is going to be piece of cake!" He said as he drew out his swords.
The crowd of people didn't do anything besides watching. Some women screamed as the Desians fell to the ground, one after one. When all of them was defeated, the woman and her daughter walked up to them.
"Thank you…"
They all smiled, except for the auburn haired man, who never smiled. They followed her to a house. Some people started to scream again as one of the Desians got up. He aimed at the Chosen. Sheena ran up to him and slammed his head down. His neck cracked as he fell to the ground again. His hand twitched, she stepped at it as hard as she could. The man let out a scream of pain. She then helped some of the townspeople to get rid of the dead bodies. She then hastly left before anyone could thank her.
'What was that? Why did I do that?! I should had let him killed the Chosen…' She sighed as she sat down on a rock. She buried her face in her hands.
"What is the right thing to do…? I'm so confused…."
