Ch.1 The Oracle Descends

A Tale of Two Worlds

Prologue

Once upon a time there existed a giant tree that was the source of mana.

A war however cause this tree to wither away, and a hero's life was sacrificed in order to takes its place.

Grieving over the loss the goddess disappeared unto the heavens.

The goddess left the angels with this edict;

"You must wake me for if I should sleep the world shall be destroyed."

The angels bore the Chosen One who headed towards the tower that reached unto the heavens.

And that marked the beginning of the regeneration of the world.

"Lloyd Irving wake up!" was all Lloyd heard before an eraser came flying at him and smacked him right in the forehead immediately waking him up. "Honestly I don't know how you can sleep standing up and still hold up two buckets of water," Professor Raine Sage said as she placed her hand on her forehead moving her ivory hair out of her purple eyes. The class laughed at this. Seth shaking his head making his brown ponytail fly around hitting his face.

"I'm sorry Professor," Lloyd said as he brushed the chalk out of his brown hair.

"Now who can answer my question? Why does the Chosen One go on the journey of regeneration?" She asked the class.

Two more of Lloyd's friends raised there hands. Genis, Riane's younger brother, was an elf with stunning violet eyes and long ivory hair. He was incredibly smart and always new the answer to any question. His blue clothes with the white designs shook slightly as he waved his hand in the air.

Colette Brunel, the Chosen One, waved her hand wildly her long blonde hair flying everywhere, almost making it surround her white dress with blue designs. With her free hand she pushed her hair out of her blue eyes. The hand that was in the air smacked Seth right in the head and he fell off of his seat and into Genis's seat. He blushed slightly as his head bumped against Genis's leg.

"Oh I'm so sorry Seth!" Colette apologized and put her hands over her mouth.

"Heh don't worry it's ok," He said as he got up and back into his seat. The class laughed and Seth blushed again. Lloyd sighed. Colette was really nice but she was a bit of a klutz. Even though all his friends were 16, except for Genis who was 12, they all acted a little like children. He didn't complain though because he was the most childish of them all.

Raine sighed and picked on Colette, who was still babbling apologies at Seth, for the answer.

"Oh the Chosen One travels to the Tower of Salvation to restore mana to the world," She replied quickly.

"Well I guess the Chosen One should know that," she walked up to the board, "Genis, please tell us why the chosen goes on the journey of regeneration."

Genis stood, like Colette had, and started on his answer, "The Chosen of Mana goes on the journey of regeneration to awaken the sleeping goddess Martel and restore the mana of the great Karlan Tree to Sylvarant."

"And that's why the Desians came back," Lloyd interjected.

"Yes Lloyd but we covered that yesterday," Raine said disappointed in Lloyd not paying attention.

Seth laughed again his elven ears pricking up in amusement. Lloyd stuck his tongue out at him and Seth did it back with a playful smirk on his lips his brown eyes shining with laughter. Seth's dark green tunic with black designs was dusty from his fall earlier along with his green pants and leather gauntlets and didn't make his smirk all that powerful.

"As I was saying…" Raine was cut of as a bright flash of light came from the direction of the Temple of Martel. The whole class covered there eyes. Some had gotten up and went over to look at the window. "All right class settle down," after they had all taken there seats she continued, "It is probably the Oracle. I will go and see all of you wait here."

"Professor? Shouldn't I come too?" Colette asked.

"No it's all right if it is the Oracle the Pastor will come and get you." Raine replied as she left. Lloyd put down the buckets of water and walked over to where Seth, Genis, and Colette were sitting.

"I'm a little nervous if it is the Oracle," Colette said trying to sound brave. "I mean if it is then I have to go on the journey of regeneration."

"Don't worry I'm sure you'll be fine," Lloyd said as he sat down. "But I think we should follow Raine to the temple."

"We shouldn't Raine said we had to say here," Genis said nervously. "You don't want to get her mad."

"Yeah I saw it's not pretty," Seth said leaning back against the chair.

Genis blushed a deep red as he remembered the incident. It was about two months ago Genis and Seth were going back to their houses. Genis had forgotten that Raine had told him to come home early and as they neared his house she came out furious at Genis. She started yelling like there was no tomorrow. Seth had tried to reason with her and told her it was his fault, which it partially was, but she wouldn't listen. She hoisted him onto her leg and her hand was on his bottom like a starving vulture on a dead elephant.

Seth grimaced as he remembered that incident. He hated whenever any one hurt Genis no matter why they thought he deserved it. In his eyes Genis was perfect. He blushed slightly at his thoughts. Am I falling for him? He thought to himself.

"Well I guess. She did say she would come back to get you," Lloyd sighed in defeat. They started to talk about random things for about 10 minutes. Then they heard the door slowly creak open. Colette got up to go to the door. They heard her gasp loudly as she saw what was in the hallway.

The remaining three ran over to see what happened. They all gasped at what they saw. There was the Pastor slashes and gashes all over his body. Blood was pooling around him.

"Pastor what happened?" Colette asked running to his side.

"Desians… at.. temple… please Chosen One help.." His eyes closed and he fell limply to the floor.

"Dammit those Desians will pay," Lloyd shouted angrily.

"He's dead," Seth said quietly as he finished checking for a pulse, he found none.

"Come on let's go to the temple," Lloyd said as he got up. They all agreed and went to there things from the closet. Genis grabbed his kendama, which was like a wooden toy hammer with a string attached that held a ball onto it. Lloyd placed his twin wooden swords into the belt of his red outfit. Colette placed her chakrams, which were sharp rings, on her back. Lastly Seth strapped his quiver full of arrows onto his back and stuck his bow in with them.

The four set out of the school house. As they stepped out into the fresh air they were ambushed by a monster. The wolf jumped up at Genis, its mouth open and its sharp teeth glinting in the sunlight. Genis tried to duck under the monster but it was going to hit him. An arrow flew swiftly at the wolf hitting it in the side. Blood spewed from the wound as the monster slammed into the school house from the force of the blow. It gave one last growl and died.

Seth ran over to where Genis was, still holding his bow. "Are you ok? Did it hurt you?" he asked him worriedly.

"I'm fine thank you," Genis replied shakily as he stood up. "But what are the monsters doing here in the town? They've never come in the town before?" he asked thoughtfully.

"I don't know but I don't like it," Colette said.

"Oh no not another one," Lloyd said pointing over at a ghost.

Colette threw a chakram at it but it flew right threw it. "My chakram doesn't work."

"That's because physical weapons don't work on a ghost," Genis said smartly.

"Then how are we supposed to defeat it?" Lloyd asked.

"If you paid attention in class you would know," Genis started to bounce the ball on his kendama. He concentrated his mana into the kendama. "Fireball!" he cried as fireballs shot out of his kendama and hit the ghost dead on. The ghost screamed in pain as it disappeared in thin air.

"Awesome!" Seth cried out. Genis blushed again. "I forgot ghosts were weak to spells."

"It wasn't that much," Genis said still blushing.

"Come on we'd better go," Lloyd called out running ahead. They ran out of the town and headed towards the temple. They encountered several monsters but were able to take them out.

"There seem to be a lot more monsters out here then usual," Seth said as he shot down a hawk that was attacking him.

"Yeah it's odd," Colette said. The soon reached the stairway to the temple.

"Wow look at that light," Lloyd said in amazement.

"It must be the Oracle," Genis said as he gazed at the temples domed roof. In the center was a tower of light shining up into the heavens.

"It's so pretty," Colette said covering her eyes from the light. The other three sighed.

"Colette, maybe you should act you know a little more chosen like," Lloyd suggested.

"Lloyd just because she's the chosen one doesn't mean she should have to change the way she acts," Seth said shaking his head.

"Well maybe I could act a little more chosen like," she said thoughtfully.

"You guys we shouldn't be standing around here come on let's go," Genis said as he started to walk up to the temple. They other three followed.

"Now let us through old woman!" a harsh voice yelled. A man with spiky brown hair wearing gray and blue walked up to Colette's grandma, who worked at the temple.

"I will never let Desians through this doorway," She said in an old tired voice. Just then Lloyd, Colette, Seth, and Genis came up from the staircase.

"Grandma!" Colette screamed.

"Dammit you Desians leave her alone!" Lloyd yelled at them.

"Desians?" The man said. He laughed. "You will pay for meddling with us. Kill them" As he said this the men in armor around him ran at the teenagers with there swords held up.

One of the Desians ran at Seth swinging his sword at his chest. Seth jumped out of the way the sword just cutting his tunic. He placed an arrow into he bow and concentrated. "Speed arrow!" the arrow flew at a tremendous speed straight into the Desians heart.

"Ack. Beaten by a human?" he sputtered out as he fell limply into a pool of blood.

Two of the Desians ran at Genis. "Fireball!" fireballs shot at one of them setting his clothes on fire. He screamed and fell down the stairs to his death. The other one had raised his sword above his head and was about to slice down onto Genis when an arrow shot threw his helmet and into his head. He was dead before he hit the ground. "Thanks Seth!" Genis called out. Seth just shot him a smile that made Genis blush.

Lloyd and Colette had each taken out a Desian and there were no more left except for the man. "Dammit you're stronger then you look. Vidarr come and kill them!" A giant man in armor came out from behind the temple. In his left hand he held a giant hammer and his right was a ball and chain.

"You will die!" He yelled as he threw the ball and chain at Colette. She screamed and ran away. She threw her chakram at Viadarr but it bounced off his armor.

"Oh it's not working!" She yelled as she caught the chakram as it flew back at her.

"Keep trying," Lloyd said as he failed to even scratch the armor.

"Haha! You can't beat me," Vidarr laughed.

"Fireba-"Genis was cut off as Vidarr's hammer came swinging down and knocked his kendama away.

"I'll get rid of you first," He said as he raised his hammer up. Genis's eyes grew wide. His legs wouldn't move and his mouth wasn't working.

"Genis!" Seth cried out. Dropping his bow he ran to Genis. He grabbed Genis protecting him from the oncoming blow. "I'll protect you don't worry," He whispered in Genis's ear. Seth heard the hammer begin to descend. He clenched his eyes shut and held onto Genis tighter. But instead of feeling pain he heard the sound of metal clashing against metal.

Seth opened his eyes and looked around to see a man in purple with red hair holding up a sword that was blocking the hammer.

"You should pay better attention," the man said with a sneer. "Now take him and go." Seth grabbed Genis and ran back a ways to there weapons.

"Thank you Seth," Genis said gratefully. "Did he hurt you?"

"Nah I'm fine," he said with a small smile.

The man and Vidarr were going at it now Lloyd and Colette were helping in what ways they could.

"Demon Fang!" Lloyd shouted as he swung his sword a beam like thingy shot out with the slash and sliced through the armor making it fall to the ground.

"Ray Thrust!" Colette yelled as she thrust her chakrams into Vidarr's stomach. The mysterious man then stabbed him in the heart.

"How… could you… children… beat me?" he asked as he died.

"Kratos damn. How did you find us?" with that the man left.

"Thank you so much for helping us," Colette's grandmother said.

"I am guessing this is the Chosen One?"

"Yes she is."

"I am a mercenary. I will protect her if you can pay me," Kratos said to her.

"With the circumstances I think it is necessary,"

"Good we will work out the details later,"

"Hey Lloyd he has an ex-sphere too," Genis whispered to Lloyd.

"Yeah I noticed," he said grumpily. For some reason Lloyd didn't like Kratos.

"Now I suggest you children go back to Iselia," Kratos told them.

"Hey who are you calling children?" Lloyd asked him angrily.

"Um please Mr. Kratos I get nervous if Lloyd isn't around," Colette told him.

"Fine, but I won't protect them again," he said looking in the direction of Genis and Seth who both blushed.

Kratos entered the temple.

"Thanks for saying that Colette," Lloyd said following Kratos.

"Well it was the truth," She said a little embarrassed as she followed.

"Come on Genis," Seth said as he started to walk into the temple.

"Me too?"

"Of course you too. Now come on," Seth grabbed hold of Genis's hand and pulled the blushing elf into the temple.

The interior of the temple was rather dark and made of pure stone blocks. The room they were in now was circular and had three hallways branching off of it to the north.

"Um I think we need to get the Sorcerer's Ring to get farther into the temple," Colette said remembering what her grandmother had said.

"All right where is it?" Lloyd asked.

"This way," Kratos said as he went down the right hand path.

"How would you know?" Lloyd asked. He didn't get an answer. "Augh."

"Lloyd you really should keep your temper down," Seth laughed. Instead of an answer he got a smack in the head. "Ow," he rubbed his head and followed the others.

"What's a monster doing here?" Genis said as he blasted one with fire.

"It must be part of the test," Colette said catching her Chakram.

"Well just be thankful there aren't many," Seth said.

"I could go at this all day," Lloyd said overconfidently. This changed however as they got to the staircase. "Man I'm really bored."

"Lloyd you always do this," Genis replied as he sighed.

"Shut up Genis!" he said and smacked his head. Genis rubbed his head and Seth smacked Lloyd.

Lloyd was just about to say something when Kratos interjected. "Hurry up we are almost there." They all followed him down the stairs.

They entered a room with a clear floor suspended above a bunch of platforms in the water. There was a single staircase that led down from the clear platform to the ones in the water and on the other side of the platforms was another staircase and a shrine that held the Sorcerer's Ring.

The five of them walked down to the suspended platform and noticed that it had 6 square holes in it above the spaces in the platforms that were below.

"How do we get across that?" Seth asked. Colette was about to say something but a giant rock golem fell from the ceiling and started to attack them.

"That thing is huge!" Lloyd said.

"Yes but it is not very strong," Kratos said as he slashed at it and killed it.

"Show off," Lloyd huffed. The golem had turned into a stone block after it had been killed. Colette being her clumsy self slipped and pushed the block into a hole where it fell creating a path.

"Oh woopsie,"

"Hey maybe…" Genis looked down at the holes for a bit, "Yes that's it."

"What's it?" Lloyd asked clueless.

"Watch," Another golem appeared and was quickly killed. Genis then pushed the stone block into a hole. "See it makes a path." They did this 4 more times until all the holes were filled in.

"That was great Genis how did you figure it out?" Seth asked as they descended to the bottom floor.

"It was nothing," he said quietly as he blushed again.

"No that was really great I wouldn't have been able to think of that." Lloyd told him.

"Big surprise there," Seth said sarcastically. Lloyd ignored him.

They walked along the path and got to the staircase. Lloyd climbed up the stairs quickly and grabbed the Sorcerer's Ring from the shrine.

"Wow cool," he said as he activated it sending a blast of fire at Genis, who Seth had pulled out of the way.

"Hey watch where you point that thing," Genis said angrily.

"Sorry. But this thing is soo cool."

"We'll see how long that lasts," Seth said under his breath.

"Perhaps it would be best if Colette had the Sorcerer's Ring," Kratos suggested.

Colette thought for a moment, "No it's alright Lloyd can have it."

"Cool," and with that they backtracked to the entrance of the Temple. This time however they took the center passage and went up a flight of stairs. They came to a golden gate with gems encrusted in the sides. The gate was emitting a barrier that stopped them from getting to a teleporter.

"How do we get to it?" Colette asked.

"Try the Sorcerer's Ring," Seth suggested. Lloyd pointed the ring at the gate and shot the fire at it. The barrier immediately disappeared.

"Ok is everyone ready?" Genis asked.

They all nodded and stepped into the teleporter.
