Me: Ok, Last chapter I gave out Kratos' role for the capture but now its time for the next seal so lets get going!

Lloyd: Wow no arguing today. Opps, uh, Jen Rem doesn't own ToS of FF, only Tiamatt and the Oblivion Blade.

I walked Boco back to camp, wondering what was worrying Kratos. I sighed as I finally reached camp and released Boco. I walked quietly, trying not to disturb anyone from his or her sleep till I found a decent place to lay down. Pulling out the GS and a pair of headphones, I closed my eyes and listened to my music. For some reason I really wanted to listen to "I don't want to be" and "Welcome the Black Parade.", something about the songs felt right, especially "I don't want to be."

Later that night, a few hours before sunrise, Kratos returned. He looked sad as he sat down to keep watch for the remainder of the night. I opened my eyes slightly and looked at him, once again wondering why had him so nervous and worried. I closed my eyes again and sighed, knowing that I wouldn't get an answer out of him right away.

Soon, morning had come and we packed camp. The Balacruf Mausoleum was a couple hours walk from the campsite, for we had crossed the bridge to the island late last night. Lloyd like always, was anxious about the next seal while Raine was excited about the historical aspects of the seal.

Raine placed the stone Balacruf map onto a platform, revealing an oracle stone. Colette then placed her hand on the stone, opening the temple. I began to follow Lloyd, Colette, Genis, and Raine into the ruin but Kratos grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him.

"Tia, about last night, I… I'm sorry." Kratos said, looking embarrassed as I turned to face him.

"Did you just call me Tia?" I blinked. He had never called me that before.

"Uh…" He blushed a little.

"I don't mind." I laughed and then became a little more serious. "And I forgive you. I understand that we all need some time alone." I couldn't believe that he had apologized. He definitely has changed since I first met him.

"Thank you." Kratos smiled, grabbing my hand.

"Now come on! Let's catch up with the others!" I replied, a smile forming on my lips as I grasped his hand tightly and pulled him into the ruins. Noishe and Cloud waiting outside.

After rejoining the others, we quickly disarmed the temple traps and defeated the guardian. Remial appeared once again and bestowed Colette with her third angelic gift and then disappeared in a flash of light. The third seal now open, we made our way towards the exit.

"Stop!" Everyone turned to see Sheena run towards us and slide to a stop. "I knew I'd find you here Chosen! Now prepare to die!"

Sheena attacked us again, a guardian at her side. I decided that if I was going to fight, then I would attack the guardian while the others ganged up on Sheena. I ran at the strange bird like monster, several green orbs visible in my arm.

"Haste! Regen! Wall!"

A green glow surrounded me as a magic barrier flicker in front of me for a second before becoming invisible. On my next step, my speed increased so dramatically that I appeared as I blur as I ran. The Wind Guardian looked around frantically, trying to track my movements only to end up on its back on the ground. I stood over the monster; fist ready as I thanked Tifa and Zell for teaching me unarmed combat. The monster got back up and attempted to swipe at me with its claws but damage it inflicted was halved due to the magic barrier I had set up earlier. It gave a cry of frustration as it blows continued to do little damage and I returned to running circles around it. The creature finally crossed its arms, causing an aqua aura to surround it. As the spell continued to charge, I could feel mine wear off as I slowed down to normal speed and Wall and Regen wore off but at least I had healed from what damage the Guardian had done to me already.

My defenses now gone, a whirlwind surrounded me and attempted to cut me to shreds. Pulling the Masamune from my belt, I sliced through the wind and landed on my feet, feeling the warm trickle of blood on my cheek. I grinned as the scent of my own blood filled my sense of smell and I wiped the blood away. I glanced at the others to see them making quick work of Sheena before returning to my own battle. The Guardian rushed at me, claws flashing as it attempted to attack me again. I leapt into the air, dodging the claws and flipped in midair, bringing the Masamune down on the monster.

Within seconds of the Wind Guardian's defeat, Sheena's cry of frustration signaled the end of the battle.

"Goodness and love will always win!" Genis cheered.

"Man, that's suck a cheesy line." Lloyd whined.

"Goodness? But … I'm good." Sheena stammered.

"If you're good then maybe we can be friends!" Colette chirped happily.

"Friends? Humph, did you forget that I'm trying to kill you?"

"Why do you want to kill the Chosen?" Kratos asked, glaring at the Theth'ellan.

"That's none of your business!" the ninja retorted.

"Sheena, this is foolish. Please stop this mission of yours." I begged. Sheena paused before shaking her head.

"No Tiamatt. If I give up then my world…" Sheena trailed off sadly. I nodded, knowing how she felt. "Grr… I promise, I will succeed in my mission!" Sheena turned away and ran out of the temple.

"Uhh… that was strange." Lloyd blinked in confusion.

"Hmm, what did she mean by her world?" Raine wondered.

"Tiamatt, how did she know your name?" Genis asked me.

"I saw her in Luin that day when I went off on my own. She was playing hide n' seek with the town's children." I replied.

"I knew she was nice!" Colette chirped causing me to laugh and the others to sigh.

"It would be wise not to linger." Kratos warned but as we left, Colette collapsed, falling into Lloyd's arms.

"Professor! It's Colette's Angel Toxicous!" The dual swordman cried.

"I'm fine." Colette said, trying to stand on her own. The Chosen, however, lost her balance and fell forward, stopping the fall with her hands. She had a look of shock on her face as I scented blood once again.

"Colette are you ok?" Lloyd asked, helping his friend to her feet.

"I…I'm fine." Colette lied as Lloyd squeezed her hand tightly.

"Come on. Let's set up camp." I said, dropping my bag on the ground. Lloyd sat down next to Colette as the rest of us set up camp.

After a few hours of rest, I noticed Colette went off near the edge of camp. A few minutes, a concerned Lloyd followed after her with a couple mugs in his hands. I sighed, remembering the scene in the game where Lloyd found out that Colette lost more and more of her humanity with each seal unleashed.

I shuddered as a dreaded scent filled my nose and I looked up to see the four winged shadow of a dragon fly overhead. I growled as I grabbed the Oblivion Blade and put the Masamune away in the Rotator. I stood up and began to walk out of camp in the direction the shadow had flown.

Tiamatt, where are you going?" I looked behind me to see Kratos, Raine and Genis all looking at me.

"Dsanios, " I growled, "He's here. I have to finish him off."

"But your wound?" Genis asked, worried.

"It's healed already isn't it?" Raine asked. I nodded. "That's what I thought."

"Please, if I delay any longer then I'll lose sight of him." I turned back around and began to walk away once more only to be stopped by a hand on my shoulder. I looked to see Kratos, sword ready as he stood by my side.

"I'm going with you." The mercenary said calmly yet sternly.

"Kratos…" I started.

"I'm going wether you like it or not." Kratos repeated. I sighed, looking away, allowing a smile to form as we began to follow the shadow of Dsanios.

Me: Ha! The Third seal has been broken and now the hunt begins! Please Read and Review!!!
