Cheresea: You! You're evil!

Me: Huh? What for?

Cheresea: You've been writing more of that Zelda story than MY story!!

Me: --;...Cheresea, you're my first OC that wasn't pathetic, why do you think I'll leave you?

Genis: Who were your other ocs?

Me: Well...my first one was a psycho lady named 'Shekla' who liked to do the twist...

Lloyd, Cheresea and Genis: O.O

Me: Then I had 'Keatichi' who shouldn't have existed...and Sozo and Sakura who MIGHT

have existed but not likely...and...Tami and Teana...who were lame.

Tami: WHAT?!

Me: YOU'RE BACK?! But your story got deleted!

Tami: I'm going to kill you!

Cheresea: How do you explain THAT, Freaky?

Me: She's a Yugioh oc.

Lloyd, Cheresea and Genis:...DEATH TO THE OUT OF DATE YUGIOH CHARACTER!

Me: Yeah...so you get it... . Cheresea's my first REALLY original one.

Lloyd: Ya mean all the others were-?


Me: Ripoffs pretty much. All the stories they were in are deleted now.

Cheresea:...So I'm...not a ripoff of anyone, am I?


Me: Hm...nope, you're my first good one.

Cheresea: (Grins) Freakyanimegal owns nothing!

Lloyd:...Freaky? Are you sure you can't delete her either?


(Cheresea maims Lloyd)

"Lloyd!" Anna sniffed.

"Wow..." Lloyd laughed nervously. "Talking about messing up the timeline..."

"Screw the timeline!" Anna snapped. "I'm glad you're here!"

Lloyd smiled, "Yeah. I am too!"

Navi dingled, "Can we go now?"

"Of course not!" Lloyd and Anna snapped. "We JUST met!"

"You should learn to be more patient, Navi." I said.

"WHAT?! ME?! Why you-! Grr...I hate this job..."

Navi flew under my hat as I walked up to Lloyd and Anna.

"So," I smiled. "You have alot of catching up to do, hm?"

Anna grabbed Lloyd's arm and ran off.

"Come on! I want to show you the village!"

"Hey! What about me?!" I scoffed, running after them.

Before I knew it, we were in the village. Lloyd was attracting stares from the other Kokiri.

"Woah. Anna! Kratos! Who's the tall guy?" one girl pointed.

"Why is he wearing red?" another guy asked.

"Why does he look like a cross between Kratos and Anna?"

Anna and I exchanged glances.

"Um...Hi! I'm Lloyd!" Lloyd smiled at one Kokiri.

"...You dress funny."

"Wha-? At least I'M not in a skirt." Lloyd huffed.

"Uh-oh." Anna paled.

"What?" I asked.

"Never say that...you should never say that..."

"I. AM. NOT. IN. A. SKIRT!!!!" he shouted loudly.

The boy grabbed a tree branch and smacked Lloyd upside the head with it.

"OW! Hey-!"

"YOU MEANIE!"

I stared in a stupor as the boy chased my son around with a stick. Something I never thought I would

ever see anything like, even with my living multiple mellinnia.

"H-hey!" Anna chased after them. "Leave him alone! Lloyd! Apologize!"

"HE'S the one trying to kill ME!" Lloyd shouted.

"Just say you're sorry!"

"I'm sorry! Don't kill me don't kill me!!" Lloyd yelled.

The kokiri chasing him stopped, then turned to Anna.

"Who IS this guy, Anna?" he asked. "And why is he such a jerk?"

"Hey!"

"Sorry about him. He's Kratos' friend."

All the Kokiri looked at me, putting me right on the spot.

"Aw man! Kratos! Why do you always do all this weird stuff?" one groaned.

"You're always such an oddball, Kratos!" a girl snapped.

"Hey!" Anna came to my defense. "Just because-!"

"Anna, why do you always hang out with him, anyway? Everyone knows he's not a-!"

A girl gasped and covered his mouth, "You're not suppossed to tell him that!!"

I felt strange, suddenly. Maybe it was because of my being a child that made me more sensitive to their

'comments' about me but I actually felt as if...as if it hurt.

"Hmph!" Anna huffed. "Come on Kratos, Lloyd, we don't need to be around these jerks!"

Anna grabbed me and Lloyd by the hand and pulled us away, toward her house.

"Don't let them get to you, Kratos." Anna said.

"Since when does D- Kratos let anything get to him? Come on, he's tougher than that." Lloyd said.

I was looking at the ground, I felt very queasy...like I ate something that didn't agree with me...what

was wrong with me? I spaced out for a moment, then Lloyd waved his hand in front of my face.

"Hey, you all right?" he asked.

I shook my head, "Hm? Yes, I'm sorry."

"...Come on! I want to show you guys the best view!" Anna smiled.

She lead us to the roof of her house and out to the veiwing platform.

"Woah!" Lloyd looked around. "This place is so..."

"Cute?" Anna asked.

"Guys don't say cute, but yeah." Lloyd nodded. "I've never seen a village like this..."

"Hee hee!" Navi dingled happily. "It's so nice here!"

"I remember...I used to sit out here and count the stars at night." Anna smiled. "Remember-? Oh

wait...that wasn't really you, huh Kratos?"

"Huh?" I tilted my head to the side.

"That was before you got Navi." she pointed at the fairy. "That's before you were you again, and by

you I mean Kratos the angel from Sylvarant and/or Tethe'alla."

"So you remember Sylvarant, AND your life here, Mom?" Lloyd asked.

Anna nodded, "I do. Kratos doesn't though..."

"I wonder why that is..." Lloyd blinked. "Man, this is all so weird...and I thought I knew weird."

I stepped forward on the stand and looked around, suddenly I lost my footing.

"W-woah!!" I windmilled.

"AAAAHHH!"

I was windmilling on the edge of my treehouse and grabbed onto the curtain of my 'door'. I was a

bit shorter, and my hair was blonde. A girl with green hair ran up to the bottom of the treehouse.

"Link!" she shouted. "Are you okay?!"

I caught my breath and felt myself stammer out an answer.

"Y-yeah...I'm fine, thank you Saria."

She sighed, "Well, come on! I want to show you a turtle I found at the pond!"

"Oh cool!" I felt myself say. "I'll be right down!"

I climbed down the ladder and ran to her.

"Heh heh!" she grinned. "What's with you guys and reptiles?"

"Oh come on, Saria!" I said. "Show me the turtle!"

She grinned and ran off, I chased after her to the small watering hole.

"Look! There! A turtle!" Saria pointed.

"Oh cool!"

"Hey...Link?" she said.

"Yes?" I asked.

"What's that in the water?"

"What's wha-? AAH!"

SPLASH!

SPLASH!

I jerked upright, shaking the water out of my hair.

"I think that did it." Anna said.

"If he asks, you did it." Lloyd told her.

"What...? Just...?" I shook my head.

"Are you okay, Kratos?" Anna asked me.

"I...had a dream..." I muttered. "I was calling you Saria...and I was blonde, and you called me 'Link'."

Lloyd snickered.

"What?" I asked.

"YOU as a blonde?" he snerked. "Heheheheh...that's...funny..."

He grinned widely as I glared at him.

"I was calling you 'Link'?" Anna blinked. "...You must have remembered part of the past! The

past here I mean! I had those too! Except it was kinda all at once..."

"WWWWAAAAAAAIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT a minute." Lloyd said. "I'm lost. What?"

"Didn't Origin tell you the whole 'more than one person' thing?" I sighed.

"Um...Nope." Lloyd shrugged. "Didn't ask."

I groaned into my hand, "Then ask him on your own time, I don't feel like explaining it."

"So..." Lloyd looked around. "Which house is yours, D- Kratos?"

We were by the pond, where Lloyd most likely got the water to splash at me. Lloyd looked around.

"The...the treehouse." I said.

Lloyd grinned, "Hah! That's so funny! You in a treehouse..."

"I'm tiring of you doing that, Lloyd." I muttered.

"Man, you're no fun at all."

I got to my feet, still dazed after the flashback that wasn't really a flashback...

"Hey, what's this?" Lloyd pointed at a drawing at the base of the tree.

"It's a drawing we made." Anna smiled. "Someone fighting a big monster."

"That looks like the dudongo I fought in Death Mountain..." I trailed.

Navi fluttered around it, "Woah, it's weird, isn't it?"

"That's really creepy..." Lloyd muttered. "So, what's your house like?"

We climbed up into the little room I had woken up in, the room in which I had made my transition from

mellinnia old Seraph in Derris-Kharlan, to a ten-year-old boy in a tree.

"It's so small..." Lloyd looked around. "I mean, the bed and stuff...hey! What's this?"

Lloyd ran over and poked at a small box on the dresser. Navi dingled.

"Hey! Don't touch stuff that isn't yours! Goddesses! Doesn't he have any manners?!"

"We tried." Anna sighed.

"What is it, though?" I asked, walking over to it.

Lloyd opened the box and looked inside, he tilted his head to the side in curiousity.

"I dunno. What is it?"

I looked into the box, Anna snapped her fingers.

"That's right! I gave that to you...it's a rock I found in the lost woods..."

Lloyd picked it up and fingered it.

"Weird...it looks like a mini of those sphere things in the tower of mana."

It was pretty much a marble, and it did indeed resemble the giant ones in the light seal.

"I thought it looked strange..." Anna said.

Navi whirled around it, "This thing...it feels weird."

"Feels weird?" Lloyd and Anna asked.

"Yeah..." Navi said. "Huh, maybe it's just me..."

Lloyd shrugged and put it back in the box.

"Oh well, so...Dad, how long can I hang around with Mom?" Lloyd asked.

"Huh?" Anna asked. "Why? Do you have to go somewhere?"

"KRATOS has to." Navi said. "But Lloyd can stay for a while..."

"But I want to hang out with Dad, too!" Lloyd said. "I've only got three days..."

"Only three!?" Anna moaned.

"D-don't worry Mom...I'll make the most of it." he said.

"..." I sighed. "Stay with your mother, I'll head off-"

"Wait!" Lloyd said. "How about this, we stay the rest of the day here, and we'll leave tommorow?"

"So soon?" Anna sighed.

"Sorry Mom...it's just...y'know, it's been a while since I've gotten to travel with Dad."

I smiled, "Let's stay for the night. You two can get better aquianted."

"Well...I guess that's fine..." Anna sighed.

"I'll be back to visit eventually..." Lloyd said. "I promise, maybe for week!"

Anna smiled, "Heh. All right. Hey, want to go fishing?"

"At the pond?" I blinked. "I doubt there are any fish in there..."

"Not in the VILLAGE, moron!" she laughed. "In the woods! There's something I gotta show you!"

"Sounds fun!" Lloyd smiled.

"Let's go." I smirked.

We headed up into the woods, Anna led the way. It amazed me, I always had trouble navagating

this strange forest and she knew it like the back of her hand. As we traveled to where-ever she was

taking us, Lloyd told her about our adventure unifying the world.

"And after Colette lost her soul, Dad told he was an angel and-"

"Lloyd-!" I blurted. "Uh...Do...you have to tell her this part?"

"Huh? Why not?"

"Let him finish! It's getting interesting!" Navi dingled.

"Yeah!" Anna's fairy dingled.

"Heeeeyyy..." Lloyd stared. "Who's this other fairy? Has it been here the whole time?"

Come to think of it...I had forgotten it was there...

"Yes I've been here the whole time!" it said. "Just because Anna never introduced me..."

"Sorry..." Anna blushed. "Guys? This is Kilia."

Lloyd and I stared. I cleaned out my ear and shook my head.

"Kilia?" I asked.

"Kilia?" Lloyd repeated.

"Yeeeaaahh...?" the fairy asked. "Come on! Hurry up with the story!"

Kilia. As in the Desian-? Or was it the actual child, Kilia?

"..." I stared at Kilia.

"Um...Anna? Why is he staring at me...?" it shivered. "Can Lloyd tell more of the story? And I want to

hear about that 'Palmacosta' place! It kind of...seemed familiar..."

Of course...this was the child, the little girl, Kilia, not the Desian. If it had been the Desian 'Kilia'...she

would have remembered Sylvarant, because I knew her.

"Dad?" Lloyd said.

Since this Kilia didn't know any of this, but still seemed to think Palmacosta was familiar... This would

have to be Dorr's daughter, and since I didn't know her...she in turn didn't know Sylvarant.

"Dad? Hello?" Lloyd waved his hand in front of my face.

"Huh-? I'm sorry, yes?" I asked.

"...Is she...?" he started.

I shook my head, "It's all right, Lloyd, it's the real one."

"Huh?" Anna and Kilia asked.

"I'll...fill you in later." I told Anna.

"Oh...Stor-y! Stor-y!" Kilia chanted happily.

"Um..." Lloyd hesitated a minute. "And then..."

He continued on with his tale for a few minutes. (Anna chastised me after learning my betrayal.)

"Are we there yet?" I moaned, eager for Anna to be distracted.

"Don't try to-! Hey, we are!"

I looked up, not noticing that we had stopped. Lloyd was staring with his jaw hanging open, and I

believe my mouth was a gape as well. A lake, a beautiful lake being fed by a small waterfall. The water

was sparkling and you could see the fish darting around under it.

"Woah..." Lloyd blinked.

It was very beautiful, especially under the dappled light caused by the trees overhead.

"It...reminds me of home..." Anna smiled. "It reminds me of Luin..."

I walked forward suddenly, walking into the water a bit. I don't know why I did, but I felt like...

"Anna, did you ever take me here before?" I asked.

"Huh?"

"I mean...when I was...wasn't, me?" I looked at her.

"Uhm..." she closed her eyes. "Hm...yes, I think so."

"..." I looked at the water. "It's...familiar..."

"Hey! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT FISH! HOLY SHIT!!"

"LLOYD!" Anna and I snapped at once.

"Woops, sorry..." Lloyd rubbed the back of his neck. "But seriously! That fish-!"

I looked in the water and went wide-eyed.

"That IS a big fish..." I pondered. "It looks about three feet long..."

"Huh?" Anna looked. "That's not-! THAT'S NOT A FISH!!!"

SPLOOSH!

"Ahem, excuse my interuption but would you perchance be Kratos?"

"A ZORA?!" Navi dingled. "HERE?!"

The Zora coughed, "The lake IS connected to our Domain, you know..."

"Wow!" Anna went starry-eyed. "I've never seen a Zora before!"

"Uh...Yes, I"m Kratos." I answered the Zora. "Why?"

"Oh, I simply wanted to thank you for saving our princess." it said. "Here, this might aid you."

The Zora handed me a bottle. I doubted the usefulness of it a minute before Navi spoke up.

"Good! You've got another one!" she said. "You can hold healing items in these!"

"Hm..Thank you." I told the Zora, after all, I can't use healing spells anymore...

"You're welcome." the Zora nodded, then dove back into the lake.

"Well, now that that's over- Wait a minute...KRATOS! YOU MET A PRINCESS?!"

I flinched suddenly. Why was she yelling at me...?

"Yeeeess...so what?" I said slowly.

"ARGH!" Anna groaned. "KRATOS! You know every rich chick that sees you falls in love!"

"Huh?" Lloyd blinked.

"Uh..."

"It's true!" Anna huffed. "Even back in Sylvarant! Whenever we passed by some rich women or- or-

MODELS and people like that, they'd always hit on him!!"

"..."

Anna smacked me, "WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT GOING NEAR RICH WOMEN?!"

"Ow!" I held my cheek. "H-hey! I had to-!"

"Yeah." Lloyd laughed. "And you had to get engaged to the Zora girl too."

I glared at Lloyd, "I didn't MEAN it! I needed the stone!"

"YOU. WHAT???!!!!" Anna roared.

"He had to get the stone to get the Master Sword, and he need the stone so he told her he'd marry-"

"I told her to get smothered in tartar sauce!" I said. "But these two-!"

Anna turned her wrath to Lloyd and Navi.

"YOU TWO WHAAAAAT?!"

"AH! M-MOM! PLEASE! NO!" Lloyd cringed.

"Don't hurt meeeee!!!" Navi flew under my hat.

In the end, Anna had promptly wounded Navi and Lloyd brutally. Later, we all headed back to the

village and stayed in Anna's house, choosing to ignore whatever we would hear tommorow about Anna

and I sleeping in the same room. ...If they were all kids, how did they gossip like adults, I wonder?

Cheresea: Feel better, Freaky?

Me: Huh?

Cheresea: You were saying in 'Tasks of Spirit' that you felt bad because the story was getting

too 'deep' and you wanted something 'plain fun'. You feeling better?

Me: Sigh...It feels like writing has lost it's novelty...

Lloyd: Hah! 'Writing' and 'novel'ty! That's a good one!

Cheresea: O.O

Genis: What the-?! That's a horrible one!

Me: (Snickers) Wh-what?! Lloyd you dumbass-! Heheheh...that is kinda funny...heheh...

Genis: You have absolutely no tase.


Me: Sigh...I need something to make me excited about writing again...
