-"Hello ladies and Gentleman. Hello young one"-

-"Hey Kratos. Okay Dude I'm here to ask you some questions on the fanfic ready to answer"-

-"Yes"-

-"Okay man: question number 1: What do you think about the fanfic up until now?"-

-"It is a very elaborate story. However it should be called Kratos's past since Lloyd doesn't appear in the story yet"-

-"Yeah but Lloyd will appear later in the story. Going to question number 2: How do you feel to be with Anna again in this fic for at least a bit of time?"-

-"It feels great. I must than you for reuniting me with Anna after all this time"-

-"No prob. Okay last question: Would you teach me swordsmanship?"-

-"Sure"-

-"Awesome. Well people keep reading the great fanfic Lloyd's past"-

The newborn

As they reached Hima they decided to rest in the inn. Kratos was a bit scared that the Desians would attack Hima but then he thought that without soldiers there won't be an attack and with the injuries he gave them, they would be out for sometime now. He paid the man in the inn and showed Anna her room. He then left to get a room for himself. The manager of the inn told Kratos that the only room was the one that Anna was using. Kratos was an honorable man and sure enough he would not have dared sleep with Anna unless they were married. As he was explaining this Anna was now coming downstairs.

-"It's okay Kratos. You can sleep next tome I really do not care"- said Anna

-"Anna… you're beautiful but sleeping with you without us being married would mean dishonor for me and you"-

-"Then how about this for marriage?"- said Anna. She kissed Kratos on the lips. Kratos faded from this world by the kiss. He felt in heaven. He then woke up from his dreams. He agreed and they slept both in the same room. Before the night started however they took a stroll up the mountain. Kratos took Anna by her hand. They both gazed at the Tower of Salvation that was in eyesight. Kratos was thinking about the new chosen of regeneration. He then decided to forget about this and keep living the life he had now with the women of his dreams. They both sat on rock and kept gazing at the Tower and the beautiful moon.

-"Kratos"- said Anna

-"Yes"-

-"Thank you for saving me. I really appreciate it"-

-"It was my pleasure"-

-"Ouch!"-

-"Anna! Are you okay?"-

-"Yes it's just this sphere they implanted in my body it hurts so much sometimes"- said Anna. Kratos had completely forgotten about the exsphere in all the excitement of meeting Anna. He knew that the exsphere would be unleashed if they wouldn't take it off. There has to be a way of removing it Kratos spoke to himself on his mind. He then remembered how Yggdrasill had told him of how the dwarves created strange mounts called Key Crest which maintained the exsphere in a way that it wouldn't unleash. He thought for a moment, he knew that in Tethealla there was a dwarf but he couldn't take Anna to Tethealla. He then remembered of a retired dwarf living close to a village called Iselia. He decided to go to Iselia. Anna was now getting tired. Kratos took her to the room. He left her to rest in the room and decided to go out for a bit of time. When he was outside a man entered Hima.

-"You are Kratos Aurion am I correct"- said the man

-"What's it to you?"- replied Kratos

-"There's a steep price on your head and I aim to claim it"-

-"So you're a mercenary, pathetic. Who placed the price Kvar?"-

-"Yes. The one who catches you gets a second in command position on the ranch"-

-"Kvar is a pathetic coward. Sending someone to do his bidding"-

-"Maybe so but the price is well worth it"-

-"If you wish for a fight then a fight you shall get"-

-"Very well then. Prepare yourself"- said the man. He attacked Kratos. Kratos dodged the attack. He then used "Demon Spear". The attack made Kratos's sword hit the man. He then used "Lightning Blade". The powerful blade plunged deep into the ground electrocuting the man and killing him. Kratos knew he had made a scene so he decided to go to the inn and rest. He reached the room and lied down close to Anna who was still awake (Needless to say what happened through the night). The other day they awoke very early. They mounted Noishe and left for Izoold. Once they reached Izoold they found out that the Ossa trail, the only way to reach Iselia, was closed for preservation and would be opened in 1 year. Kratos knew that when that mercenary wouldn't return the Desians would attack so in a desperate attempt to escape them they decided to set sail to Palmacosta through one of the boats in the pier. They were made to wait one day until the boats would return from fishing. Yet again the stayed on the inn (Again it's pointless to explain what happened through the night). The other day they left for Palmacosta. Around the trip Kratos remained by Anna's side in case she would get scared of the trip. They reached Palmacosta very fast. They left to rent a place to stay for the night. The inn was the only place they could find. They stayed at the inn through the whole year. Around half of the year Anna was told she would have a baby. Kratos was a bit scared now. This baby would have to live without a father being the fact that he would have to return to Welgaia sooner or later. He decided to marry Anna in the church of Palmacosta. Now that they were having a baby it was obvious that they had to marry. One month before the baby would be borne they decided to see if they could go to Iselia. Kratos now feared that Anna's exsphere was becoming unstable by the minute. They immediately left for Izoold. Soon enough they reached Izoold and much to their dismay they still had to wait. Kratos was now really furious, he desperately needed to past but with the Ossa Trail closed it would be hard. He left to see the mayor of Izoold.

-"I'm terribly sorry sir but I won't let you pass"- said the mayor of Izoold

-"Please. My wife is terribly sick we need to get to Iselia"- said Kratos

-"If she is sick then our doctors will take care of her"-

-"You don't understand we need to reach Iselia. A dwarf lives there. He's the only one who can save her"-

-"Why is a dwarf the only one who can save her?"-

-"They are the only ones who have the technology to contain the power of a strange diamond called exspheres"- said Kratos. The mayor still didn't let them pass. Now angry Kratos took matters into his own hands. He waited 3 weeks in Izoold and then he found a way to reach Iselia. That night they both passed the two guards blocking the entrance. Soon they reached 5 guards. Kratos took them out easily. But this alerted the other guards. As he planned it he used another attack on a bear close by which made it angry. The soldiers were now fighting a vicious bear. The bear managed to waste the soldiers. Kratos now crossed the Ossa Trail with ease. They had finally made it to Iselia. Without hesitation Kratos began asking everyone in the village about the dwarf. Since he was an outsider the villagers didn't take kindly to him. Yet they saw how Anna was with her baby coming in (It took them one week to get to Iselia).

They took Anna over to the doctor of Iselia. As they had guessed Anna was indeed having a baby. Kratos looked at the young newborn. He was very similar to Kratos. Kratos was very happy to have seen his son.

-"Pick a name for him Kratos"- said Anna

-"Very Well then. You shall be called Lloyd"- said Kratos. Through a month he passed a great time with his son. Kratos showed him the star. He gave him piggyback rides. But he still feared about Anna and the exsphere. They then heard news of a dwarf living on the outskirts of Iselia forest. Now happy he immediately sat out into the forest to see the dwarf. He reached a peak in which he saw many Desian soldiers.

-"Oh no"- said Kratos

-"Lord Forcystus, I see them"- said a Desian soldier.

-"Very Well then"- said a man close to the soldier. Kvar was with the man. Kratos saw how a man with a mechanical arm was seeing at Anna.

-"So this is the exsphere from the Angelus project"-he said

-"Forcystus, Don't get any ideas that exsphere is part of my project"- said Kvar

-"Yes. Yet Kratos will be both our prize"- said Forcystus

-"That was the plan wasn't it"-

-"What do you want with Anna?"-

-"We're making her do something catastrophic to you"- said Forcystus. He then made mana come out of his hand. He sent it flying into Anna's exsphere.

-"Ah!"- screamed Anna

-"Anna! You monster what have you done?"- said Kratos

-"Forget what I have done and concentrate on what she's going to do to you"- said Forcystus. Kratos watched in horror as Anna transformed into a hideous monster. Lloyd was still in Anna's hands. Noishe jumped and grabbed Lloyd. Anna slashed Noishe. Kratos then jumped in to save both Noishe and Lloyd. Anna was now in a very big pain. She attacked the Desians and both Grand Cardinals.

-"What is this Kvar? She's attacking my men"- said Forcystus.

-"She must have a deep affection for them. That's why she's attacking you soldiers. But it won't be long before she attacks Kratos."- said Kvar

-"Forget Kratos. I'm leaving this place before she kills us all!"- said Forcystus. Kvar decided to follow him as well. Soon all of the Desians had been killed by Anna.

-"Kratos"- said the monster

-"Anna? Anna are you alright"- asked Kratos

-"No. Kratos you must kill me"- said Anna. Kratos looked at the monster.

-"Please Anna. Don't ask me to do that"- said Kratos.

-"Please Kratos"-

-"No. I cannot forgive myself if I did that"-

-"I'm begging you. Living like this creature will truly be worse than death please"- said the monster. Kratos now looked at the monster. He lifted his sword and slashed the monster. A tear came down his eyes. Anna slowly returned to her human form.

-"Kratos… uh…"- said Anna

-"Do not talk Anna. Please rest. Do not struggle"-

-"My time in this world is over Kratos"-

-"No. You can still live"-

-"You and I both know that that will never come to pass…uh… As a last request… please… look after our son"- said Anna. The exsphere then fell to the ground. Kratos was now crushed.

-"Kvar, You will pay!- He screamed

-"Who's there?"- asked a voice. Kratos hid behind some trees. A dwarf came running. He then picked up Lloyd and saw how Noishe was gravely injured.

-"Hello young one"- said the dwarf smiling at the baby. Lloyd giggled.

-"Oh my. Is this your mother…"- said the dwarf. He picked her up and mounted her onto Noishe's back. He then takes them to his house.

-"Anna… I will protect Lloyd… I promise to avenge your death"- said Kratos looking as the dwarf took Lloyd to his house. He then returned to Welgaia.
