A/N: I'm good at updating regularly, aren't I? I hope I can do this when school starts. . . I know have 962 hits! -dances- HAHAHAHAHA! I am so sorry for the late update! I was grounded from the computer for so long. . .

Sunfrost (): Thanks for reviewing! Yeah, I also hate wasting away half the day. Summer goes by so quickly that way. Your cats have such cute names! Actually, Samantha is a MALE cat and Harvey is his brother. Maybe that's why they're so crazy.

Gantz Gun: THANK YOU! I loved your review. Steven Dice will be VERY important. Just wait for Ossa Trail, okay?

Eternum123: Thanks for reviewing! This story is going to take forever to write. ("Finally! IT IS DONE!" "Honey, the grandkids are here." "Coming, hubby!") Oh dear. . .

ryutamer: Thanks, friend! How many times do I have to tell you? WAIT FOR OSSA TRAIL, IMPATIENT ONE!

shadowshamira: THANK YOU SO MUCH! I loved your review! They really do need their heads checked!

DISCLAIMER: I am so tired. I'll have one of my friends say it. Trevon is Steven's little brother, in real life and in this story. Tre! Come here, will you?

Trevon: I AM NOT LITTLE! YOU FA-

Princess: -backs away- WAIT! You're only ten, but that's beside the point. Can you please say the disclaimer?

Trevon: -twitches- Fine. . . PrincessKaina2 does not own Tales of Symphonia in any way, shape, or form. She only owns Tilly, Orkion, Steven, and their pasts. What do I get for payment?

Princess: What? You want to be paid? Well, I have fifty cents. . . -hands over money-

Trevon: That's all? SOME FRIEND YOU ARE! -exits-

Princess: I'm too tired to think of something witty. Need sleep. . . Zzzz. . . ON WITH THE STORY!

It's so damn hot in here! Why couldn't this be the Ice Seal? I'm going to die. . . "I think I'm going to melt, brother."

"Stop complaining, Sis. We still have to release the seal." My brother walks ahead of me to talk with Genis. Fine! Abandon your own family!

"We can rest here for a moment." Really? I love you, Kratos! I glomp him to show my appreciation. "What the-? Tilly, get off me!"

"I'm just so happy that I can rest! The fact that I am annoying you is a bonus." I ruffle his hair, giggling as the mercenary tenses.

"I'm going to count to three. If you're not off of me by then. . ."

"You'll do what? Impale me with your spiky hair?"

"One. . ."

"Hahahaha!"

"Two. . ."

"Uh. . . what's with the spell? Wait, you're not going to. . ."

"Three! Take this! Wind Bl-"

I quickly scramble off his back to keep from being sliced to pieces. "Are you trying to kill me?" Kratos chuckles in response. "I hate you." I give him the middle finger, which only makes him laugh harder. Stupid teacher. . . "I'm going to scout ahead. I'll be back in a moment."

I leave before anyone can respond. Now I finally have some time to think. I relax against one of the many stone pillars. Who is Steven Dice? He looked like a ninja, just like the purple-clad girl, who must be Sheena. There weren't any other people in the game, though. . .

A crackling sound snaps me out of my thoughts. A Fire Element was coming towards me, already charging up a spell. What? Not more battles! "Demon Fang!"

It disrupts the spell, giving me time to kill the monster. "Time to die! Sword Rain!" I put my sword back in its sheath as the creature falls to pieces. I should go find my companions. It's too dangerous for me to be alone. When I return, they are gone. I can't believe this! They went on ahead without me!

Lloyd is the first to notice me when I finally find them. 'There you are, Tilly! We're just about to head to the top." At least you didn't go that far, Lloyd.

"Yes. Let us proceed." Kratos goes through the warp pad first, with everyone else following. Weren't you worried at all? I feel so loved. I'm the last to warp.

As our group approaches the seal, it starts to emit strong mana. Genis steps back. "Ahh! What the?. . ." I can feel the strong power, too, just like him!

Two small dinosaur-like creatures appear, followed by a giant red monster. Those small things are Ktugachlings and the big one is the Ktugach. Those needles look lethal. I draw my sword and prepare for battle. Goddess Martel, don't let me die this early, okay?

"I call to thee in Heaven! Give me your power- Protection!" My spell is interupted as several purple needles shoot towards me. Damn, this boss is smart. I will just use sword moves, then. "Take this! Star Shine!" Ktugach gives a load roar when I pierce his unprotected tail.

"Take that, you stupid be-" I hit the wall a moment later. Owww. . . Note to self: Never insult an angry monster. They're smarter than they look.

"I won't let you die! Healing Wind!" Kratos' spell fully heals me. He runs over and helps me stand up. "Are you all right?" I nod and jump out of the way of Ktugach's attack.

"I'm just fine! We need to concentrate on the battle!" I think I'll stay quiet from now on. That really hurt! I slash at Ktugach back again while Lloyd has itsfull attention. "Okay, you beast! Shadow Break!" What the hell? It's not working! What to do, what to do. . .

"Wait, I know! Orkion, let's attack together!" He glances over at me, confused.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean we attack at the same time, loon."

"Oh, okay! Ready? Star Arrow!"

"Star Shine!" What hits the monster surprises us. His solitary light arrow grows bigger and hits the boss at an straight vertical angle. It kind of looks like Thunder Blade. . . It explodes with bright shining light, killing Ktugach. "Bro, I think we just did Star Explosion."

"That was so cool!" Orkion jumps up and down, looking very happy. "We beat it, too!"

As the two of us celebrate our success, Colette approaches the seal and begins to pray. "Oh Goddess Martel, great protector and nurturer of the earth, grant me thy strength!" It breaks and a light from above reveals Remiels arrival. Not the creepy angel again. . .

"Colette, my dear daughter, you have done well."

"Thank you. . . Fa. . . ther." The blond seems nervous as she replies. Already doubting who he is? That's good.

"The guardian of the seal has fallen, and the first seal has been released. Efreet will surely awake soon. In the name of Cruxis, I shall grant you the power of the angels."

"Thank you, my lord."

Three different colored lights come down form the ceiling and enter Colette. Two fairy-like pink wings appear on her back. Those look look so cool real! I want wings, too! COOL!

"The angel transformation will not be without pain. Yet, it is but for one night. Be strong and endure." Our eyes meet as he speaks. Remiel once again glares hatefully at me. WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?

"I humbly accept this trial."

"The next seal lies far to the east, across the sea. Offer your prays at the altar."

"Yes, Lord Remiel." Before the angel disappears, he speaks to me. If you wish to know about your Cruxis Crystal, stay here when the others leave. He vanishes in a poof of feathers. I probably shouldn't trust Remiel, but I am curious.

While I was listening to Remiel, the rest of the group was in awe over Colette's new wings.

"Colette. . . has wings!" Yes, point out the obvious, Lloyd.

"Uh-huh, and look, I can put them away, too." Her wings disappear instantly, making Genis even more excited.

"Oh, wow! That's so cool!"

"Here, look, look!" Colette contiues to flap her wings for him and my brother. Lloyd looks away from them and addresses the two adults.

"He said the next place is across the sea! That we get to sail on a ship! Haha! I can't wait!" A ship? No, I hate sailing! I also hate the ocean.

"A ship. . . hmm. I wonder if there are any ships sailing with the way things are right now." The Professor seems to feel the same as I do by the look on her face.

"We should head to the coast to see what we can find." Kratos starts to head to the warp pad, motioning for the rest of us to follow. Lloyd glances at the younger teens.

"Okay you three, we get it already. That's enough." Giggles folow his statement.

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Okay. Let's go, Tilly!" I shake my head at Orkion.

"You guys go on ahead. I want to study this area some more." He raises an eyebrow, but says nothing.

When everyone else is gone, I sit in front of the seal, waiting for Remiel. I really hope this isn't a trap. I'm not ready for death. . .

A/N: Oops. I left a cliffhanger, didn't I? I am SO sorry for being late! My muse left me to make-out with Kratos. I think they did more than that. . . IT'S BEEN FOUR DAYS!
