Chapter Two------------

The next morning, when Sheena awoke, she cleaned up then left her room. She went over to see if Lloyed was awake. After knocking on his door a few times she guessed he was still asleep. She left out the front door of the inn to take awalk. As she was walking she noticed the changes that had happend to the town. Even after they had helped rebuild the town it still continued to grow. There were more shops and houses around then she remembered. As she was walking she saw her statue that the people had built of her. She still felt that she didnt need it out there for all to see.

It was about this time that she noticed that she was near the entarance of the city. That was when she saw Lloyed. He was staring at the sunrise, it was still quite early in the morning. She was surprised to see him up at this time, let alone him standing still. As she walking up to him she noticed something else. He seemed more pensive then usual.

"Hey, you ok?" she asked quietly, not wishing to disturb him.

He turned around slowly and just looked at her for a few seconds, long enough to make her blush. It was then she noticed the look on his face. It was a look that she hadnt seen in along time, not since the time they had talked in Heimdall about there plans. It was alook of peace. He sighed, "Yah, im ok, i was just thinking about something."

"About what? Come on you can tell me." she said, hoping to get some gleamer of info from him.

He turned back and looked back at the sunrise. He held out an arm for her and she took it. This just might be it, she thought. This might be where I find out how he feels about me. He held her close for awhile before he looked back down on her.

"Weve been friends for along time now havnt we?" he asked her.

She felt alittle crest fallen at his term "friends" but didnt think too much about it. "Yah, ever since you told Raine to heal me back at--" she stopped and looked around.

He smiled a gentle smile, which was quite rare for him. "Hee, this is the spot remember? Man, you were stubborn back then." He chuckled for a bit before saying, "You wouldnt even exept healing untill after we defeated those monsters. And even then, you were hell bent on trying not to show how relieved you were to be feeling better. Man, it was tought getting you out of your shell back then."

"Well, I was an assasian back then, if you recall. I wasnt used to accepting anything from anybody. And besides, you guys were my prey so i couldnt accept anything." She looked down at the ground thinking back on that.

"Then why did you? I mean, if you couldnt accept any help, why'd you take it?" he asked.

She thought about that for a moment. "Not sure. i guess I just didnt want to die." She looked back at the sunrise. "I'v never told anybody this, but, i'm afraid to die." She looked back at the ground feeling ashamed at he weakness.

He looked back at her with that gentle smile on his face again. "Its ok Sheena, dont be ashamed to tell of weakness. In my opinion, its a great strength to talk about your weakness. In doing so, you say that you have something to conqur, something to beat. Im...glad you have a weakness. and I dont say that in a mean way. It just tells me that you have something to fight for, something to conqur...something...to live for." He look back at what remained of the sunrise, now that it was over the mountains.

She looked back at him. "Thanks Lloyed, that helped alot. But let me ask you something...whats your weakness?" she asked, hoping that she wasnt prying to deeply.

He thought about the for a few moments. "Well, id have to say that---" Before he could say anything else, there was a large crash at the front gates.

They both ran to the gates, only to find the gaurdsat the feet of some armor claded knight, either dead or close too it. "Pathetic" said the knight in a desturbenly deep

voice. The knight looked up to see the swordsman and summoner before him. "So, your that boy with the expheare from the Angules Project, ehh? And your that girl with the Summon Spirits, yes? Well now this is a good day for me, hee hee. Whats your name boy.."

"Give me your name and I shall give you mine." said Lloyed. Sheena smiled. Even in the face of this powerfull looking knight, he still had room for sarcasm.

The knight seemed to be looking the boy over throught his visor. "Hmm, you are a fiesty one now arnt you? Just as the reports said. Well now, I shall give you my name, since you wont be alive long enough to remember it. Its Drake, the one who shall take what rightflully belongs to my master. Now, hand over that expheare and girl and your death shall me quick and painless."

Lloyed drew his Martial blades. They seemed to glow with fury, as if they could feel what the weilder could. But there also was another type of glow, one that could not be explained. (They would later find out just how powerfull those blades really where) Sheena pulled out her cards of Divine Judgement, and got into her ninja stance. "This guys tough, but we can take him, right Lloyed?" He looked back at her and game her a serious but proud grin. "Hell ya, this guys nothing compared to the two of us." He looked back at the knight. "Are you ready? Lets begin. And this better be fun." Lloyed was the first to strike, giving off a couple of rapid slashes arcross the knights shield. Then he blocked the counter attack by Drake. Sheena then rolled around him, looking for a weak spot where she could pounce. She didnt get the chance because the knight had seen her and back slashed her.

She managed to back flip out of harms way, but it ws close. "Man, this guys faster then he looks, that for sure." she said, looking over his armor, just to see where there was an opening. The knight then quickly smashed the earth with his sword and yelled out, "Grave" and with that large and very sharp rocks came up below Sheena. She would have been pierced threw had it not been for Lloyed, who had been manuvering into position near Sheena. He quickly pushed her out of the way and yelled out "Gaurdian" in which a green shield appeared around him, blocking the rocks.

"Hmm, your good, but not good enough!" yelled out Lloyed. He then dashed in toward the knight and gave off one of his favorite combos. He yelled out "Demon Fang" then a split second after that "Tempest" and once he landed called forth "BeastSword Rain." After that vicious attack the knight back off a few steps, but not before Sheena jumped in behind him and gave of a few quick hits then called out "Life Seal" quickly followed by a "Demon Seal." After that she backed off to where Lloyed was standing. He looked at her and said "While I keep him busy summon a spirit, that should put an end to this." He started to charge back into the fight. "Ok," yelled back Sheena. She held a card in front of her and started moving her hands in a certain motion, then she started to chant. " I call apon the envoy from the dark abyss, come, Shadow!" and with that a swirling vortex of pure darkness appeared infront of the enemy. Shadow appeared. He called out in his creepy voice, "Crumble" and with that a circle of darkness appeared around the knight, who was trying to defend against Lloyed's continues onslaught of attacks. Lloyed looked down and quickly rolled out of harms way just as the knight was bombarded by dark energy that smashed him to the ground.

After the attack he got up but then quickly fell down on one knee. He looked up at the two fighters and smirked under his visor. "Hmm, not bad, not bad at all, but your not good enough to beat my master." and with that dire comment he vanish in a blast of light. After the smoked cleared, there was nothing left exept the hole that Shadow had left with his attack. Lloyed looked around at the scared battle field then quickly moved over to Sheena. He looked her up and down looking for injury, then asked "Are you ok? He didnt hurt you now did he?"

She examind herself then said no. It was then that she noticed Lloyed was limping. There was a large gash on his leg. "Hey, are you ok? What happend?" She quickly sat him down and began examining the wound. "O, im ok, I think I got that when he sent grave at me. Gaurdian can only block so much." he gave her a small grin but that was guickly replaced by a grimce when Sheena began to put some apple gel on his leg and bandaging it up. He then felt the relief as the gel went to work healing him."Thanks, that feels much better." He then got up and went over to the two guards. He knelt down by one and felt for a pulse. Sadly, there was none. He went over to the second guard and felt for his pulse. He was glad to know that he felt one. It seems he was only knocked out. He shook the guard awake. "Hey, wake up."

The guard woke up suddenly, but then laid back down out of pain. "O my head, what happened?" He then looked over to his partner and whispered "O no, please no" he then got up quickly, ignoring the pain he was feeling in his head and went over to his fallen comrade. Sheena was standing there. "I'm sorry, he didnt make it." she said.

The guard sat next to his fallen partner." Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn... how'd this happen. One moment we were going to go off duty, the next we were attacked by the knight in golden armor." Lloyed walked over to him. "I'd better go get the mayer, he might be able to know something about this knight."

He walked away with Sheena right behind him. "Sheena, how'd he know about my expheare? I mean I thought only a few members of the Desians and Cruxis knew about it...somethings not adding up." Sheena thought about that for a second. "I dont know, but I think we should gather the rest of are group together and see what they have to say about this. Or atleast visit them to see whats been going on." Lloyed looked down at the ground for a moment, thinking,then looked up again. He nodded his head, "Alright, thats a good idea. After we tell the mayer what happended well, well go find Raine and Genis. I belive theyare at Skyback right now."

A few hours later after they had told the mayer everything and asking him if he knew anything about the knight, which, too nobodys surprise, he didnt, bought supplys, packed up, and left the city, they took off in the direction of Skyback. I hope Raine and Genis are ok, thought Lloyed. And Noishe. Lloyed had sent Noishe with Raine and Genis as protection. He didnt want to, but felt that they needed it. Noishe hadnt wanted to go, but after some persuading from Lloyed he went, but with a temper. It had been two months seen he'd seen his friends, and he couldnt wait to see there smiling faces.

-------------------------------------

Hmmm, who is this knight that has mysteriously appeared?

And how does he know about the Angulas Project. We shall find out soon.

Alright just to clear some things up, I should have put this in the first chapter but i forgot to.

This takes place three months after the defeat of Mithos, and Lloyed has grown up since then, due to his angle side.

Also, in this story, his wings have shrunk a bit. There alittle large this Kratos's wings, but not massive like they used to be.

I belive there where as big as they were because they were new, and Lloyed didnt have time to adapt to them

Also I feel that he is special. His wings change due to his emotions.

Now that he's had them for a few months, they've shrunk to relatively normal size and he's gained control.

If anybody has any tips of what should be in the upcoming chapters, feel free to say them.

Until next time.
