An Angel's Hopes of Eternity
Chapter 1: The Ruined Tower of Salvation
Kratos did not notice that he was alone in the world. He was concerned that his last and final visits with Lloyd before the ruined Tower of Salvation was sealed and that he would never see his son again. Apparently, the angels regretted to has sided with Mithos, or their former commander, Mithos Yggdrasill. Mithos was the hero of the Ancient Kharlan War, but when his sister died, he planned to resurrect her by using a host body using a Cruxis Crystal. Mithos became the enemy of two seperated worlds, one called, Sylverant, and the other called, Tethe'alla. Lloyd and his companions ventured to Derris-Kharlan and went to the city known as Wegila, the Holy City to confront their deepest fears, and Vinheim, Mithos's Castle. After Lloyd and his friends defeated Mithos, the two worlds seperated were united to become one. Kratos decided not to abandonee the angels, so he left to Derris-Kharlan. Kratos felt that without Lloyd, he would not be sure of what to do with himself. Kratos had used the last bit of mana from the planet and orbed himself back to where their journey began. To where he last saw Lloyd, in Tethe'alla's Tower of Salvation. Kratos looked around.
"Huh, that ride was uncomfortable. I guess I've ended up at the ruined Tower of Salvation.", said Kratos.
He saw no one coming. He decided to use his first identity when he met Lloyd. To become a mercenary.
"Why is the Tower of Salvation still here? The Great Seed germinated and the Tower should be gone now. Since Sylverant and Tethe'alla have now united, why is a Tower, told to separate the two worlds, still here?" said Kratos confused. "If the Tower's still operational, then the worlds are still seperated somehow."
Kratos walked towards the delicate tower, seeing that it had not changed since he left. While walking, he saw that no excess rocks from the tower were seen. In his head, Kratos said," Why aren't the ruins here?" Kratos kept on moving and saw that the host cells were not there either. He continued walking and went towards the transporter. He stepped and it had not glowed.
"I guess there is no way on how to get back to Derris-Kharlan. Fortunately, there was no time limit for me to get back. My new priority is to find Lloyd." said Kratos.
As determined as Kratos was, he didn't know where to start his search for Lloyd. All he knew is that Lloyd was going to collect all the exspheres remaining in both of the lands, although, the lands had become both bigger, and larger. Kratos knew that Lloyd was founded in Dirk's house and the outskirts of Iselia. So, from his calculations, the Tower of Salvation was located in the center of the planet. So, since the Tower was part of Tethe'alla, he was at the center of the part that was once Tethe'alla. He knew he was near the shambles of Ozette, and near Alttessa's House. Kratos had a wing pack and summoned a rheard.
"I'll go to Mizuho and see if Sheena knows were Lloyd is. Besides, Mizuho is to the south of Garaoocha Forest.", said Kratos.
Kratos got on his rheard. He had a sufficient amount of energy and needed to form a pact with Volt to keep it running. Without his mana, the rheard would run out. Suddenly, the energy meter ran out, and disappeared.
"I guess Volt's mana is everywhere on the planet, and can sustain the rheard. I'll go to Mizuho."
Kratos turned on the rheard and kept thinking of someone. Someone who is so special in his life, that if he died, he would not have something anymore that once belonged to his wife, Anna. He hoped that the locket he gave him in Flanior would actually make him remind of Kratos. Lloyd especially did not forget him. The trouble was Kratos did not know what was going on.
