It was just 4 years after the worlds were saved and all the chaos had finally left both Sylvarant and Tethe'alla. Unfortunately, it came at a great price.

"Ungh...." The hero, Lloyd, groans and turns on his side, trying to find a comfortable position to rest in. He had recently broken the mana flow, but is now wiped out from the strenuous work required.

"HEY LLOYD!!!" Suddenly, his friends burst into his house, but they didn't see Lloyd anywhere yet. Amongst these people was Genis, a silver-haired spellcaster of about 16, Raine, a professor and healer, Zelos, a crazy joking idiot, Regal, the one who was sent out to kill Sylvarant's chosen, and Sheena, a summoner and assassin.

"Where's Lloyd?" His friends ask Dirk, Lloyd's dad.

As Lloyd hears that his friends are looking for him, he gets out of bed and dresses up, trying to hide his sickness from his friends.

"Hey Lloyd, how are you.... !!!" Suddenly, Genis falls over and everyone stares in amazement.

"What? Do I look bad or something?" asks the confused Lloyd.

But just as quickly as their expressions of surprise appeared, it disappeared.

"WHAT?! DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG??!!"

Zelos, in his joking nature, says, "I just thought that Colette was behind you because just for a flash second, I thought I saw wings on you.... And blonde hair too...."

"Since when did you see blonde hair on Lloyd? You must've been thinking about Colette too much.... Sadly..."

"Why, Raine? Do I have too much masculine sexiness for her?"

"No, just too much idioticness."

"Awwwww..... why does Raine and Sheena have to team up on me?! Lloyd, won't you defend.... AAH! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU LLOYD?!"

In the midst of their joking, Lloyd fell over and was extremely pale. Raine concentrated all her power into one attack.

"RESURRECTION!"

Lloyd rises and looks a lot better.

"Lloyd, stay in bed. It'll be better for your sickness."

"What? How did you know I was sick? For all you know, I could've just taken a bat and whacked myself over the head!"

"Your dad told us. Why did you try to hide this from us? I could've helped you earlier!"

"I didn't want you guys to worry about me..."

"You sound just like Colette..."

Suddenly, the door falls over and in comes a girl of about 20 years with blonde hair.

"HEY COLETTE! You're back from Hawazari!"

"No Lloyd! It was Hawaii! Not Hawazari!"

"Hello my beautiful Colette! I missed you!"

"Hi Zelos... Hey Presea and Genis and Regal and Raine. How are you all doing? Oh, and Lloyd, sorry about the door. I'll help you with that later."

"Oh, okay. Thanks."

"Lloyd, go to bed so you can be rested up. We'll go outside and talk."

"Okay Raine... See you all later!"
