Tales of Symphonia
Rise of Niflheim
Prologue
It has been many years since the Heros of Symphonia defeated the Fallen Hero, Methos, and restored the worlds of Sylvarent and Tethe'alla. Each has accomplished the goal they had set out for once the worlds were one. Lloyd and Colette had finished ridding the world of Exspheres, then settled down in Iselia. Zelos became the advisor of the king in Meltokio, using his powers to help rebuild and unite the world. Regal and Presea used the powers of Regals company to aid in the rebuilding of the world alongside Zelos and Meltokio. Raine and Genis convinced the world to put aside its discrimination of Half-Elves and helped settle those Half-Elves without a home of their own into the newly founded town of Mithrim. Sheena became the leader of Mizuho and re-established the town in Sylvarant, though no one knew exactly were. All seemed peaceful in the world of Symphonia. So it seemed. However, now that the worlds were one a dark force was able to finally come through the Otherwordly Gate, for it was now unconnected to any set location.
Location: Otherwordly Gate
A calm breeze swept through the lone, abandoned island. The massive pillars making up the Otherwordly Gate standing strong as they pointed towards the sky...a sky with a now full moon. The clouds, lazily moving through the sky, finally part and reveal Symphonia's moon in all its luminous glory, basking the Otherwordly Gate in its light. The gate, drawing energy from the moons soothing light, flashes with a sudden swirling energy that engulfs the island in a sphere of light. The show is spectacular, but brief. The clouds soon obscure the moon once more, ending the light that it had been bathing on the Otherwordly Gate. The wind is now clashing violently with the island, the sea around it moving angrily at the sudden disturbance. The island, however, is not longer so lonely...a dark, hooded figure slowly stands, chuckling as he looks about his surroundings. Wordlessly, he turns around...and vanishes completely. Once more, the island is alone.
