And Yet You Told Me Otherwise

Thanks to Meushell and Mystical Jade again for their positive input. (Sorry for the late update, I lost my Internet connection for a long time. I thought I was having withdrawal symptoms.

Chapter 7: Five Foreshadows For Frog

For I could react, to anything, the wooden door slammed in my face. The unwanted sound echoed through my sensitive ears and blasted through my mind. I heard banging on the door, and screaming of my name. I placed my hands on the door and tried to push it open to no avail. As quickly as the frantic banging began it ended, and there was silence that blanketed the small room.

"Glenn…" I heard my name and turned, looking at the creature who called himself the God of War, "You know, it's going to be hard to go against Fate."

I looked at him with a quizzical look, what was he talking about? And that was my first question to him.

"What in the world doth thou speak of?"

"Please don't tell me you have no idea, you know well what I am talking about, if your aware of it or not, now that is a different story."

His words once again brought my mind to a dead end.

"Glenn, Fate has planned that you will stay this way forever, that you will never get revenge, that you will never get a chance to be happy. You have a slight idea that this is true, don't you?"

For once I had to agree, there were times went I felt my destiny was sealed, that I could never find happiness. But I just thought it was my mind playing tricks on me.

"I have…"

"Alright, at least I know I've got the right guy, or right now amphibian." He began laughing at his own joke, but I couldn't find the humor within it.

"Fine, so it wasn't that funny…jeez, what a tough crowd." He replied to my silence, "If you want to find happiness you must fight Fate, you must prevent certain things from happening…First, you must make sure, when you go to Magus' castle to fight him that Lucca stays behind, and not Marle." Spekkio began.

And he continued to list three more things that I had to prevent. The second, was that when in 12,000 B.C. (whatever that means) I go along to the Ocean Palace. The third is that I am never to combine my magic with Crono, Lucca, or Marle to form a double or triple tech. The fourth was that I was to fight Magus alone in our final showdown. And the final condition is that I need to be kissed by…Marle. The four I could do, fine sure, I could take on my greatest rival of the ages, but I couldn't get a girl to kiss me…especially not Marle.

"But, what if I can't, what if I can't get her to kiss me?"

"Then be forced to live an unfulfilled life of loneliness in the Cursed Woods."

And that is what I feared most, I think, that I would have to live alone after all of this was over. Having no one to share my tales with, no one to keep me company, no one of share a joke with or a kind word, just myself, my own fatal flaw. That I wouldn't be able to live with…

"Alright…"

"Now don't think all of this will be a walk in the park, Fate will try it's hardest to work against you, placing obstacles in your path to render you from completing you mission. But you must have Faith, you must be true, and you must kick ass! ALRIGHT?!" Spekkio seemed to be like a General of sorts, "Me and Fate have a score to settle and I won't let you go down like a guppy!"

He once again laughed, and I heard the rickety old door open up behind me. I left the God of War to his own devices and left the room to rejoin my friends, and begin the hardest quest of my life.

Another short chapter I know, but this and the previous chapter are really a chapter in one but I had to seperate it to show perspectives, to keep the pattern you know. Well I'm always looking for ideas, and spelling/grammar corrections, so feel free to leave them in your review.
