Hi guys, sorry about last chapter, if it wasn't that great...I'll make up for it somehow. That and THIS chapter I will get
to what exactly will make the first few chapters 'make sense' okay?
Yuan: Riiiiiiiggggghhhttt...
Me: SHUT UP!...Sorry...
Yuan:...Moody today, are we?
Me: SHUT UP!!
Yuan: That's a yes. Freakyanimegal owns nothing.
"...I suggest you take this opportunity to run."
"...What?" I asked, my voice cracking.
It was the next day, or night, more specifically...we would reach Hima tomorrow but for now we had settled out to camp for the
night. It was the middle of the night, and Kratos had dragged me out away from the group, probably to scold me for letting Genis
find out...but...I wasn't quite expecting THIS...
"...If you value your life, I'd suggest you run," he stated.
I felt the color drain out of my face as my throat seemed to collapse in on itself, making me swallow in an attempt to clear it. If...I
valued my life...
Oh God. What was he...?
"Wh...at...are you t-talking ab-bout?" I stammered, my body shaking.
"...If you go to the Tower of Salvation tomorrow, you will be killed," he stated, glaring at me with those red-brown eyes.
I choked, "what...? WHAT?! What are you talking about-?!"
I recoiled with a yelp as I felt something collide with the side of my face, stinging.
What the hell was that-!?
"Get a hold of yourself," Kratos hissed, "I know you aren't this dense."
He hit me. ...He had hit me. I clutched the side of my face and looked up at him, feeling my body shaking worse as my eyes
watered. Oh God...he was going to kill me...
He was going to kill me.
"...Leave, go to Asgard, Palmacosta, find someplace," he stated, "just don't go to Hima, and don't get yourself involved with
Cruxis again."
"...Why?" I whispered, my mind blank.
"...You're too loyal to them," he emphasized 'them', "that..."
He closed his eyes as I felt my heart begin to race again, as if it was trying to break out of my ribcage, do the cha-cha then
moonwalk off. (Don't ask.) Kratos took a breath and then looked at me again, his eyes glazed looking.
"...The Chosen wasn't the only one sent on a journey toward her death."
My mind blanked.
" ...Do you remember when you arrived here?" he asked me. "How you were unquestionably made a Seraph of all things? How
Yggdrasill was so easily convinced into making a human child one of his subordinates?"
...Oh God...I knew it, I knew something was wrong...I knew that didn't make sense. I knew that there was no way...
"...I knew you were from Earth the entire time," he said.
I felt like I had been smacked.
"W-what-!?" I gasped.
"I knew you were from Earth, I knew your ethnicity was 'white-hispanic', I knew your father worked in an electricity plant, that
your mother was a medic. I knew of your siblings, I knew of your world."
I could only stare at him, my heart beating even more harshly.
"...I know your name," he stated, saying my real name, full name, "I know your country is called 'The United States', I know your
cousin was kept away from you because her mother called you a 'bad influence' I know how you cried in your school's restrooms,
I know how you tore yourself apart when your mother was unhappy, how you scolded your siblings, how you would tell your
sister stories..."
No...how...how could he...? But he...?
He lied to me.
"I even knew of your birthmark," he stated, "I knew you would be likely to be a nebil, I knew, from the very beginning."
"...You..."
Then it hit me.
"You know how I got here, don't you...?" I half hissed, half stammered.
"...You were brought."
"Wha-? ...You mean...YOU guys brought me here?!" I shrieked, swapping out my shock for rage. "YOU were the ones that?!
YOU-!!!"
"Yggdrasill, Yuan and I have known of your planet for years," he said, looking away, "we have known of your civilizations, of
your ways...we knew perfectly well, that a majority of your people's population would be potential nebils in our world. Years ago,
Yggdrasill hatched a...project."
He turned back to look at me, his eyes narrowed.
"What better fighter to cover the weaknesses of an angel, but a nebil?" he said curtly. "Though of course, they are few in our
world...but in yours..." he turned from me again, looking into the sky, "your world is abundant in them, but have so little power on
their own soil. The solution? Bring them here."
"...But..." I whispered.
I could barely even breathe. ...He had known, the whole time...he had...he had known where I was from, what I was, who I was,
and this whole time he acted like he had no clue...and I was stupid enough to...
"...Why you? Who knows, your bad luck," he stated, looking at me, "you merely fit the compatibility. A human with a birthmark,
conflicting 'mind' and 'heart', a pubescent female, therefore more likely to resort to instability in emotions and logic...that and, of
course...he wanted someone of...unsound, mind."
What?!
"When you first came here, were you not...struggling? Mentally?" he asked. "Before you came here, weren't you doubting your
sanity? Your purpose? Your life?"
...Oh God...
"Yggdrasill believed a young female with such...issues, would be easier to manipulate. In fact...that weapon you have there."
I blinked and looked at the saber at my side.
"...The whole time you've had that, it's been emitting hypnotic signals," he stated, "...had his procedure proceeded as
planned...you'd have been naught but a puppet before we even reached the water seal."
"W-what?!" I yelped, panicking, "You-! I-? Wha-? But-!!"
"When you first got here, I presume you saw something along the lines of someone you admired leading you to Yggdrasill, you
being given the sword, and then being given a 'cruxis crystal' before coming to Sylvarant, correct?"
...He presumed...I saw...
Oh no.
"...It didn't happen..." I whispered, realizing what he meant, "you're saying that...that didn't happen? I...I just...'saw' it?"
Kratos nodded, "In all honesty, the moment I met you was when you set foot on Sylvarantian soil. Before that, you were in
a...pod, of sorts, you could say...while the illusion was taking place, they equipped you with that crystal, that weapon, and the
belief you were a Cruxis Seraph."
It was a lie. ...All of that...was a lie. It never happened...it...
Made sense.
"No..." I whispered.
It made sense! IT MADE SENSE! That was why I just 'appeared' and become a 'Seraph' and stuff! I KNEW none of that
could've happened! It...it wasn't right! I...I had known it, but...I... Wait. ...If...I was supposed to be a puppet...
"Why didn't it work?" I asked, looking at the sword, "...why can I still...think?"
"...Things we didn't take into account came into play," he stated, "the most important factor being...we didn't think it would be a
possibility that you could have any knowledge of this world, either of them. You knew what was going to happen, that interfered
greatly with the frequency of the hypnosis. That...and..."
He trailed and I looked up at him, my heart finally slowing.
"...You developed relationships with Lloyd and the others."
"...So what does that-?"
"Were you acting much like you do now, when this started?" Kratos interrupted. "Thinking back on your actions...was that how
you would've acted?"
...I had been an idiot. I had been...mean, bitchy, kinda show offy...hell, like a mary-sue or something. Wasn't I being...stupid,
toward the others at first? Feeling like I knew it all? I did...and then in Triet, I realized that, hadn't I? That I had been being a bitch?
Mean? That's when I stopped being overly cynical, wasn't it? When I had actually began to get along with Lloyd, Genis and the
others? Heck, it was then that I had stopped fangirling over Kratos, come to think of it... I shuddered. Yeah...that was really
gross, now that I think of it...fangirling over Lloyd's DAD of all people!? I mean, yes, he was hot, but you can admit someone's hot
without wanting to marry them or anything. I looked up at Kratos, shaking my head slowly. No, that's not how I would've acted,
looking back now...in fact, I was disgusted by it.
"...It was going as planned, for a while," he stated, "you were blissful in your own little world, acting haughty,
somewhat...unfriendly, but then you began to wear out of it. You began to grow fond of the others, they reminded you of your
home, your life...and they reminded you of who you should be. You decided your behavior wasn't to your liking, your ideal of
what you wanted, so you began to attempt to change that. It was your decision that lead to the weakening of it's power, as well as
your knowledge of what was to come, that, and perhaps the frequency wasn't potent enough."
"...You were going to use me..." I realized.
"Yes. The plan was you'd be completely under Yggdrasill's control in a matter of weeks, but if in the event it didn't work, as it
hasn't...I was ordered to dispose of you."
He WAS going to kill me.
But...wait...
"...Then how come you haven't?" I choked.
"...I attempted to, several times, why you slept."
My knees almost gave out on me.
"...But every time I started, I just thought of Lloyd...of Anna, what they would say, what they would think if I could bring myself to
kill a used child," he stated solemnly.
I felt my cheeks moisten as tears slipped down them.
"...You mentioned your father, before," he muttered, "...I remember how it felt when I lost my child...I couldn't bear the thought of
doing that to another father."
There was a silence as he stared off into the night, and I could only sit there and stare at him. I couldn't even think...I was...just
...numb.
"...I was used..." I finally whispered, "...I was...an experiment...a pawn."
"..." Kratos didn't face me.
"...Colette and I are both dumb cows to the slaughter, huh...?" I whimpered, smiling as my tears quickened their pace.
"Except you're not really an angel."
What?
"What are-?"
"...That's not a real Cruxis Crystal, it's...diluted, you could say," he stated, "...it gave you wings, yes, but your senses are nowhere
close to that of an angel. They have improved, yes, because of the Crystal, but they are not nearly as potent. That's why your
physical strength is barely more than that of the average human. It wouldn't be wise, you see, to just give you a real one, that, and
it would interfere with any nebil abilities."
I froze.
"...ANYTHING ELSE YOU LIED TO ME ABOUT?!" I shrieked.
"..."
"ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW!?" I shouted, crying. "HAVE I BEEN WALKING AROUND IN A BUNNYSUIT
THIS WHOLE TIME!? HAVE I-! HAVE I-! HAS GENIS BEEN CALLING ME A WHORE, LLOYD BEEN SMART,
COLETTE BEEN THROWING STUFF AT ME THIS WHOLE TIME!? ANYTHING ELSE!? 'CAUSE YOU MIGHT AS
WELL TELL ME NOW!!"
I broke down into sobs, barely standing on my own two feet as I tried to calm myself. No. No...I didn't even know why I was
saying 'no' I just...I just...I couldn't...and now...this...but...
I wanted to ask, why then, Kratos didn't tell Lloyd to leave, but I knew the answer. Colette had to be brought to the Tower,
otherwise, Yggdrasill would come after them himself, and they all would be killed. There was no way Lloyd was going to leave
Colette, ever, so telling him to stay away from Colette wouldn't work either... As Kratos saw it, Lloyd's only chance at life laid at
the tower...
"...You never liked me at all, did you?" I asked.
"..." Kratos looked at me.
"...All those times you were nice to me, that you listened to me...you were just acting, weren't you?" I asked. "...Heh, I should've
known...it was stupid of me to think anyone could ever really care about me...no, that's not true...Genis cares, my family cares, my
friends back home do...heh, I'm pitying myself again...pathetic..."
"...I didn't care, at first...to be frank, you annoyed me."
I gritted my teeth, trying to stop myself from shouting again.
"...However, there is something about you that is likable...something."
"Gee, thanks," I muttered.
"...I know you want to go home, but there's nothing that can be done right now," he stated, looking at me, "find someplace to hide,
until this is all settled. Yggdrasill doesn't know you supposedly know our future, so he shouldn't come after you."
"...Kratos...do you care about me at all? Really?" I asked. "Or is this just you trying to be noble and protect at least ONE
person?"
"..."
"...I'm sorry..." I whispered, looking away, "I...I'm sorry."
"...You do mean something to me, if that's what you're asking," he muttered, "...I actually enjoyed some of our little chats,
despite..."
I looked at him again, unsure of how to react.
"...You are strange, I have to admit that," he stated.
Heh...tell me something I didn't know. Every one of my friends, my siblings, and most adults I've talked to have said I'm
strange...but...I was glad to be called that because...I think they mean it's good, you know? ...Ever since I was little, any adult I'd
talk to would look at me a minute and then shake their heads, smiling. You're a weird one, they'd say...now, I know some, if not
most, of them were probably 'By God this kid is crazy' expressions, but... Somehow I didn't...
"...I grew fond of all of you, I must admit," Kratos sighed, "...but..."
"...I understand," I muttered, looking away.
There was another silence.
"...You should get going," he stated.
Going...?
"...But...no, I don't want-"
"Then you'll die."
I froze. Die...? Die?! I didn't...no, oh God no! I didn't want to die, not anytime soon...I wanted to live as long as I could, until I had
lived my life. I had to go home, I had to see my family, I had to see my friends...I had to get my home back. But...I couldn't just
leave the others...I couldn't. I just couldn't. I couldn't desert them...abandon them...but...what could I..? How could I help them?
How...could...the Renegades- wait, no! Stupid, they'd never let you get near the place... Unless...I offered to get them Lloyd and
then- NO! I've done enough lying, I'm not going to do it anymore...
"...I apologize."
"Huh-?" I looked up.
Then felt my face hit the grass...then everything faded away.
------------------------------------------
"Jaela! Jaela!"
I twitched, seeing nothing, hearing only the voice coming from beside me. My head was spinning and...ugh, God I felt like I got a
brick dropped on my head... I tried to open my eyes, but it was like it was one of those mornings where you just can't seem to lift
your eyelids, you know?
"Jaela...!!!"
That voice...high pitched, pleading, desperate little voice-
LILY!?
"Li-?" I managed to wrench my eyes open, seeing a little girl by me.
"You're okay!!" she grinned. "Aisha! Linar! Jaela's okay!"
Aisha...and Linar...no. NO! I WAS IN ASGARD!? HOW-!?
Kratos!
I jerked upright, looking wildly around. No, Asgard! NO! NO NO NO NO! This couldn't be happening! How could-!? He
dropped me off here! THAT-!! Lily yelped as I looked around, apparently I scared her.
"...I- I'm sorry, Lily, I'm okay...did I scare you?" I asked, trying not to panic.
"I found you on the doorstep," she blinked, "you were hurt...so..."
Damn it...damn it! DAMN IT!
I jumped to my feet and headed for the door, ignoring the splitting pain in my head. That ass was going to get a hell of a mouthful
his way, for this...
"Jaela? Where are you going?"
I flinched. ...I couldn't just leave Lily like this...but...I had to...
"...Lil...Lily..." I said softly, turning to look at her, "...I need to go somewhere, okay?"
"Already? But..." she whimpered.
"...Lil, listen to me," I said gently, kneeling down so I could look her in the eye, "I have something important I need to do-"
"SPECIAL stuff?" she asked.
I noticed then that she was holding the doll I made her tightly, fidgeting with one of the feathers on it's back as she said 'special'.
"...Yes, special stuff," I nodded, "...I'll be back... I promise."
She looked at me moment, then looked down-
"H-hey-!"
"Be careful, okay?"
She had hugged me, almost making me fall over onto my side from my balance being trashed at suddenly. I was stunned a
minute...then smiled softly before hugging her back.
"I will. ...Be strong, all right?"
With that I ran out of the house.
"Oh dammit oh dammit..." I muttered as I ran through the city.
How long had I been out!? I had to get to Hima- no! The Tower, I had to go to the tower. I couldn't guess wrong here, the Tower
was the safest choice. Once I was out of the city I spread my wings and took off for the ivory building, not even registering the fact
I was in the air seeing as that Tower was the only thing in my sight. I had to get there... I had to get there!! Then I spotted it...the
door, the entrance was open.
Oh no.
I raced in as fast as my legs could carry me and warped into the main chamber of the Tower, finding a soulless Colette..a dead
Remiel...and Kratos with his sword raised up over Lloyd's head...
"Jaela-!?"
Before I could yell out as I was going to, Genis had caught sight of me from his spot on the ground, looking up at me in what I'm
sure was shock.
"What are you doing here?" Kratos spat, glaring at me.
FLASH!
...Oh no...a flash of light...oh no. It's Mithos...oh no...
"Well isn't this amusing," 'Yggdrasill' smirked, "Kratos, I'd have thought you'd disposed of the little failure by now..."
"Lord Yggdrasill," Kratos bowed.
"Who...?" Genis blinked.
Mithos turned to Lloyd, who had managed to get back up on his feet to glare at Mithos in his trademarked reckless way.
"Are you Lloyd?" he asked.
"Give me your name and I'll give you mine!" he snapped.
Mithos cackled.
"People need not introduce themselves to a dog."
"Yeah, Lloyd, so don't introduce yourself to him," I blurted.
I promptly smacked myself in the face.
"What is it you just said, human?"
I swear, if no one had been looking, I would've been on the ground begging for mercy and crying my eyes out. It was that scary
having that THING looking at you like that...I began shaking, but I shook my head to break free of it. I was NOT looking pathetic
as long as someone was watching...
"Leave her alone!" Lloyd snapped.
Mithos drew his attention back to him.
"Fine then, I shall tell you may name, human." he sneered. "I am Yggdrasill! Leader of Cruxis...and, the Desians!"
Before I could even blink, he had backhanded Lloyd into a pillar, knocking it over to the side. I yelped and moved for him when-
"GAH-!"
I hit the ground too.
For a few minutes all that would register in my head was 'pain'...and then...it left. The next thing I knew I was looking at the ceiling
of a modern-looking building of some sort...and judging by what had happened...
I was in the Renegade base.
"...Damn..." I muttered, clutching my head, "not again..."
"You have some explaining to do, young lady."
"..."
I decided to fake sleep, pretending I hadn't opened my eyes.
"Don't you do that to me, 'Jaela Aliani'! Wake up this instant!!"
I grimaced to brace myself for whatever it was to come, then sat up before turning to the source of the voice to see a p'oed Raine
looking at me.
"...Professor-"
"You were from Earth, this whole time, and never told me!?"
...What?
"...W-...wha...t...?" I whispered, not believing my ears.
"..."
I watched Raine's glare slowly soften before she sighed, running her fingers through her hair. I looked around. Genis, Lloyd and
Sheena were still out of it, in their own beds of this 'guestroom'...as Colette stared vacantly into space.
"...I should explain what happened, before you say anything," Raine stated, looking away, "...the other night, I woke up to go to
relieve myself when I heard your..conversation, with Kratos."
My blood ran cold.
"...You...heard...?" I whispered, pale.
"...Needless to say, I was angered and...a bit surprised at Kratos' role in all this. I was angry at you too, of course...still am,
but...from what I heard...it seems you're in a bit of a situation, aren't you?" she looked at me, frowning. "...Torn from your
home...your life...then used like that...and apparently...you know our future?"
I could only stare at her, feeling my mind clam up again.
"...Yes," I admitted, there was no point in hiding it, not anymore.
"...This makes me angry," she huffed, glaring at me.
"I figured." I whispered.
"...You were trying to preserve our timeline, weren't you?"
I almost fell over.
"W-what-?!"
"Jaela, I'm not a fool, and nether are you," she glared, "..."
She sighed and looked away, sitting at the side of my bed as she observed the rest of the room, her eyes falling on Colette.
"...You've been stuck in a harsh situation, haven't you?" she said softly. "...You're not supposed to be here, yet you tried to make
things happen the way they were 'supposed' to, right...? ...I...understand that."
She hung her head, leaving me to guess she was closing her eyes.
"That's why I'm angry...I can't be mad at you for that."
"...What happened?" I asked softly. "After you...heard?"
"...At first," she looked at me again, "I tried to get away, so he wouldn't know I heard... Needless to say, I failed. He caught me
but then I threatened to expose him, not only what he was...but his...relation." her gaze shifted briefly to Lloyd. "...To my
surprise...he had a proposition for me."
A proposition...?
"...Kratos had an idea," she stated, "...am I correct in assuming this is a Renegade base?"
I nodded, still staring at her.
"...He knew these people would interfere, but he explained that if he were to keep Colette away, the Cruxis would come after us
and certainly kill us," she said, "so he hatched a plan... We would make it look like we were going along with it, as Yggdrasill
expected it, and then hopefully put on enough of a show to satisfy Yggdrasill before the Renegades showed up to save us."
"You what...?" I blinked.
"It was a risk, but the only one we had." Raine stated. "...Of course, we had to make it look real...the only way that would work,
of course, was if the others thought it was real. ...So yes, Jaela, we didn't tell them."
I gaped at her, then at the others, then back.
"So...wait...you...?"
"Though, of course, you were supposed to be have been 'disposed of'," she quoted, her eyes narrowed, "so you had to be out of
the picture to make this work..."
Oh damn.
"...HE came because I showed up?" I whispered. "...Oh God...Oh God...I-! Ooooh..."
I groaned, smacking myself in the face. DAMN! I-! FUCK! I almost got us all killed! I almost got us all-! Wait, no...not
necessarily, Mithos showed up there anyway, right? ...It didn't matter, it was done with, I could wonder if it was my fault or not
later.
"...It doesn't matter, we were saved anyway," she said, " it didn't go according to plan, but it wasn't like we had much choice..."
"...So..." I whispered, "...you..."
"...Kratos should show up again once we get out of here," Raine said, "...we'll explain what happened to the others then."
...Wait...so she was going to tell them that they were both in on it? But...why would she bother doing that unless...
"He's our insider on Cruxis," she stated, "because you were never actually a Cruxis angel, he's our last hope for a spy. He'll be
dropping in and helping out now and then, though I doubt the others will mind that, to tell the truth..."
A small smile crept onto her lips as she shook her head.
"They all...are too forgiving."
"...How can you trust him?" I asked.
"Hm?" she looked at me.
"I mean...I don't think it's bad you are...but...how can you trust him? How can you...how can you trust me? How do you know
we're not going to-?" I stammered.
"I don't."
"...That... doesn't sound like you..." I frowned.
"No, I suppose it doesn't," she sighed, "...but I know for certain Kratos is 'his relation'...and that he still cares for him. I believe he
cares enough about him to do this, and as for you..."
She looked at me and I got trapped in her ice-blue eyes, my heart racing as I anxiously awaited what she would say.
"...You came back," she stated, "...if you didn't care for us, you would've stayed wherever it was Kratos left you, but you came
back...knowing you might face death. ...Even if you did lie to us...I really believe what you said before, that your feelings for us
were no lie."
"...Raine..." I whimpered.
"I know, that's too soft of me," she sighed, rubbing her temple, "I shouldn't trust you, I know that..."
"...Um...though..."
She turned to look at me as I felt my face flush.
"To be honest, I uh...wasn't really thinking of the fact I might die if I went after you," I admitted, "I...well, I wasn't thinking much. I
just though that...that I had to be there, no matter what...that was really the only thing I could think, really. That that was where I
had to be...and if I had to be there, that was all that mattered..."
"...Well, did you come there because you wanted to hurt us?"
"No, of course not!" I blurted. "I went...because..."
"Yes?"
"...I wanted to do the right thing," I muttered.
"...I really am gullible for believing this," she sighed.
"...I'm sorry." I muttered.
"...Heh," she shook her head, smiling softly.
"...So..." I started, "you know Kratos is...his 'relation', and you were both in on it for this to happen...and you know I'm... an alien
...from Earth?"
"And that you know our 'future', yes."
"...I don't anymore," I muttered.
"Hm?" she raised an eyebrow.
"...This wasn't supposed to happen," I said, "...you weren't supposed to know about Kratos that soon, and Kratos wasn't
supposed to help you...not with you knowing, anyway...and...it's just all wrong, now..."
"...I see." Raine said simply.
There was another silence, one that lasted what must've been half an hour. We just sat there, not saying anything for a long while
before she looked at me again.
"So...you're an alien, hm?"
"Uh..." I trailed, "...weird as that sounds, yes."
"..."
"...Don't you DARE try to study me," I hissed, glaring at her.
"Oh fine, I won't...today." she stated, smirking slyly at me.
"...Stop that," I said, "that scares me."
"Good."
"..." I sighed, "man..."
"...So, you miss your home?"
I felt as if someone had punched me in the chest.
"...Jaela...?"
My body began to go into convulsions as I attempted to hold back the mass of emotions inside of me. Home. She had to say that
word. She had to...
"...Jaela-!" Raine yelped, "I-! Jaela, please, stop, I didn't-! I-!"
Before I knew what I was doing I was sobbing into my arms, curled up in a little ball on the mattress. I was doing that type of
choking crying, you know? Where you don't make a sound but you feel as if you're screaming, and all you can notice is your tears
streaming out of your face. I wanted to go home. That was all I could think. I wanted to go home...I wanted to go home...
"...Jaela..." I heard Raine whispered.
"I- I'm fine." I choked, barely able to speak. "I'm fine- I'm good- I'm fine- I-"
I felt arms wrap around me and a head rest on mine, a hand patting my back.
"It's all right, Jaela," Raine whispered, "...you can cry."
So I did.
THERE! YES! I did it! I finally finished the Tower Scene! YES! I hope this made up for last chapter, if you guys didn't
like it as much.
Yuan:...So the twist was...?
Me: The first few chapters of when I was an emo bitch and the mary-suedom that would never happen was a result of
an experiment trying to brainwash me into being Yggdrasill's mindless puppet but failed because the experiment was
faulty. So the whole 'that would never happen' stuff pertaining to being made a Seraph? NEVER HAPPENED! n.n
That, and looking back at the first few chapters I was like OMG...I was a bitch. o.O So I decided to admit I was a
bitch, though blame it on some experiment rather than myself...because I started this story like three years ago, I'm
different than I was then. (Thank God) Though I admit it was my own fault I was like that then, but as I said,
thankfully, I'm not the same as I was.
Yuan:...Right. So the deal with Kratos...?
Me: n.n Yep. Kratos is on 'our' side, and the group is gonna know it. You should expect to see him at Meltokio,
shortly after meeting Zelos. He's gonna be our spy, and yes...I plan on a premature telling Lloyd who his father is
scene.
Yuan: Speaking of Zelos, if he's spying for Cruxis, wouldn't he tell them Kratos is a traitor?
Me: Oh he would, put he's playing all sides. So he'll keep the 'juicy' bits secret, you know. Kratos doesn't necessarily
know Zelos is spying for Cruxis, so...well, trust me, it'll work out.
Yuan:...Right, well, this was plotty...I guess.
Me: ...Jerk.
Yuan: Review, if you feel like it.
