An Angel's Hopes of Eternity
Chapter 2: A Chance of Reunion
"I hope Sheena doesn't forget who I was. It was 5 years ago when we all seperated and we germinated The Great Seed into the ground. I'll have to write all this down so I can make sure that I can locate all my friends." said Kratos, so eager to bring the entire group back together.
Kratos got on his rheard and flew to Mizuho, The Mystical Village. Mizuho (as everyone knew), was a village that did not permit outsiders to enter the village. It was a home to all ninjas who practice the arts or guardianship and summoning arts. Sheena practiced the Igaguri style, which was a descendent of the guardian arts. She was also a summoned who summoned all the spirits from Sylverant and Tethe'alla, Origin, and Maxwell. She was known as the Master Summoned. A summoned who was so strong, that she was even able to summon the gods, and use their powers to destroy their greatest foes, such as Forcysteoius, the leader of the Iselia human ranch, and Mithos.
"Sheena..., oh Sheena, please be there." said Kratos softly.
Kratos landed at the edge of the mountain range near Mizuho. He walked towards the gate of Mizuho, when suddenly, smoke came out of no-where and Kuchinnawa appeared before him.
Kuchinnawa said, "You, who dares to enter the sacred village of Mizuho, who art thou', and what business do thy' have?"
Kratos looked at Kuchinnawa so suddenly strange. Kratos knew that Kuchinnawa joined the Pope to assassinate Sheena so he could take revenge for what happened to his parents. For what happened, when Sheena failed to form the pact the first time at the Temple of Lightning.
Kuchinnawa stared at Kratos and said quickly, "Speak, or be executed."
Kratos said, "I am a friend of Sheena Fujishaabii. I come to speak with her in regards of Lloyd... my son."
Kuchinnawa asked, "Are you Kratos Aurion, Lloyd's father, and a former commander of Cruxis's Four Sephrum?"
Kratos said, "Yes, but I am no longer involved with the work of Cruxis. I have come back to find Lloyd."
Kuchinnawa said, "Well, Raine, Genis, Presea, Regal, Collete, Zelos, and Sheena are here as well. Something terrible has happened. It has regards... with Lloyd".
Kratos asked, "What? What has happened to my SON?"
Kuchinnawa said (while bowing his head), "Lloyd has been attacked by The Papal Nights and is in the Recovery Hut. You may see him."
Kratos said, "Thank you, Kuchinnawa."
Kratos rushed to the Recovery Hut and tried to open the door, but it was locked. He knew it was the Recovery Hut because it said in bold, "RECOVERY HUT". Kratos would have rushed in with his special move called, "Judgment Rush", but decided to knock as a gentlemen. He wouldn't rush to conclusion of what happened to Lloyd. Not even imagine it for a minute. To think, that Lloyd had died.
Kratos knocked and said, "Hello is anyone in there? It's Kratos!"
A woman said softly, "Oh Kratos...come in." It was Raine.
Kratos asked, "What happened to Lloyd?"
Raine said, "Come in first, and say hi to everyone."
Kratos walked in and saw everyone. From Collete, Chosen of the declining world, to Regal, president of the Lezareno Company, was the entire group reunited
Genis said, "Hi Kratos. I would never think to see your face again."
Kratos said and asked, "How are you Genis? What's wrong with Lloyd?"
Everyone bowed their head. Kratos could sense that something wrong was going on, and Kratos didn't like what was going on. He knew that with the worlds united, everything would be fine, and by process of elimination, it couldn't have been either the Great Seed, or the newly rebuilt world. Something happened to Lloyd, and intended to find out what it was, good... or bad.
