Alright, sorry its been awhile since I updated.

It took me awhile to put this chapter down.

Hear goes.

Chapter Eight----------------------------------

Sheena and Kratos raced through the city until they came to the hotel. Sheena paid for a room quickly and then they both raced to it to see what they could do for Lloyd. When they got to the room Kratos laid Lloyd on the bed and removed his shirt to find just what he had feared. There was a mark on his chest similar to the ones found on keycrests. Kratos shook his head in regret and started to chant a spell, which, when he compleated it, a slightly green aura surrounded Lloyd. Sheena was getting water and towels to put on Lloyds forehead to try and bring the fever down.

"Kratos, whats wrong with him?" asked Sheena, who didnt know what to do besides try and bring Lloyds fever down.

Kratos sighed. "Well, I guess now is a good time to tell you." Kratos stopped for a few seconds to gather his thoughts.

"Lloyd is...a weapon. Mithos was the first to think of it. He wanted a soldier that would keep growing in streangth no matter what obstical was thrown in his way. He was first supposed to be designd in a chamber, but then he found out about my relationship with Anna and of Lloyd's birth. Thats when he sent Kvar to capture Lloyd and finish me off. Thanks to his twisted thinking pattern, he turnd Anna into a monster to do his dirty work." Kratos stopped for a minute to gather himself. He wasnt used to expressing himself like this. Sheena waited for him to continue.

"A few months before Lloyd was born, Mithos was alittle worried that this warrior might prove more powerfull then he was, so he had a special exphere designed to empower himself. It was code named the "'Angulus Project.'" It was designed to give his wearer almost unlimited power if handled properly. But it was never finished due to the...death...of my Anna. Because of this, it remained an exphere...Untill now."

"Why now?" asked Sheena, who was still trying to put the pieces of this puzzle toghether.

"Because the exphere was never compleated, it remained dormat, absorbing power from the area around it, including the feelings and personality of its wearer. Its true that Anna's soul is locked inside it, but now, due to its absorbsion of the personalitys around it, another...spirit...has formed."

"Your saying that another soul is in that thing!" exclaimed Sheena, who was still confused by all this.

"Not exacly a soul as we humans, elves, or dwarves have, more like a...Summon Spirit. It would seem that the spirit has...attached itself to Lloyd."

"Is that why he's in this much pain?"

"Yes. The stone was meant for Mithos, so it was designed to fit his angle self, but it was attached to Lloyd, and now the spirit is trying to...redesign the stone to fit him. I only hope that Lloyd has enough streangth to hold on to his sanity." Kratos shook his head in saddness. "I only wish I could have been there earlier to help him through this."

"But what does this all have to do with me? The knight said I was going to 'evolve' to. What was that supposed to mean?" asked Sheena.

Kratos smiled abit. "You are almost like Lloyd. You were a plan of Mithos to become a warrior aswell. You were the...prototype...of the 'ultimate warrior' that he thought up about two years before Lloyd was born. But, unlike Lloyd, we dont really know who your parents were. We do know that you had the ability to control the Summon Spirits around us, so Mithos devised a plan so that he could harness your summoning powers for his own purposes. Luckly, before he could bring out his plan, Yuan snatched you away and hid in Gaoracchia Forest. You know what happend after that." Kratos stopped to think about how to go on.

"Unlike Lloyd, who is evolving due to his exphere, you will evolve from the pacts you have made with the Summon Spirits. Because you have make pacts with all ten Spirits, there power will take you to the level of power Lloyd is headed for. Also, unlike Lloyd, you wont feel anything. Well, exept the new found power." finished Kratos.

Sheena took all this info in and thougth about it for a minute.

After along pause she looked at Kratos with understanding. "So...what do you want me to do?" she asked.

Kratos shook his head. "Nothing for the moment. Just think aobut it, and when Lloyd wakes up, talk it over with him. Ill be with the others if you need me." And with that Kratos left the room.

Once Kratos left, Sheena took a seat near Lloyd and held his hand in hers. Alot of things ran through her mind, but mostly about Lloyd's recovery. Because of this sudden twist in this plot, she was really hoping that she could get some alone time with him so that she could hear his thoughts on this matter.

She was so deep in her thoughts that she didnt notice that Lloyd had woke up. Not untill he hugged her arm like she had done him back in Ozette and sat up.

"Lloyd!" cried out Sheena, partly in starttlement, and partly out of joy. As she called his name, she flung herself on to him and hugged him tightly.

"I was so worried...you just pasted out right in front of me...then Kratos said you might go insane...and now your going to turn into something else...and so am I...O, its just so good that your awake!" said Sheena, as she started crying in Lloyds chest.

Lloyd just looked down at the summoner, then he took her in his arms and hugged her tightly.

"I know, I heard it all. Dont worry, I might change on the outside, but ill still be the same on the inside." encourged Lloyd as he started wiping her tears. "And dont worry about yourself. Im know you will still be the same clumsy Sheena that iv always known." he finished with a smirk.

"Hey!" was Sheena's only reply before she hugged him again. She knew what she had to do. So, she just let the words come out.

"Lloyd...I...I...I love you!" she finally said, and waited for his answer. When she looked back at he face, she only saw him smiling down at her.

"I know...I...feel the same way." replied Lloyd, with that smile still on his face, but in his heart he was feeling joy like he had never felt before.

A huge smile spread across Sheena's face. She felt happier then she had ever felt in her entire life. She just hugged him tighter and tighter untill she thought her arms were going to fall off, but she didnt care, aslong as she was with Lloyd.

Lloyd fell back onto the bed with her still on his chest and started into her eyes. In them he saw love and devotion for him. As he looked into them he rememberd the words of the fortune teller back in Triet for some reson.

"Oh, don't be embarrassed about it. Someone already likes you! You two are very similar and get along well. She's a little rough, but that's because she's embarrassed to show her true feelings. Deep inside her heart, she needs you. You should answer her feelings of devotion."

Lloyd continued to smile. 'Well, what do you know. The fortune teller was actually telling the truth.'

Sheena was also smiling. She just couldnt belive that he felt the same way for her. Yah, she had hoped that he love her and all, but to actually hear him say it to her was a dream come true. She just couldnt contain her happieness. She had finally found the one person who would accept her love and return it with equal devotion.

As these thoughts ran threw both there minds, they were moving closer and closer, untill finally, they shared there first kiss. It was a magical moment in where all there hopes and dreams seemed to come true. It felt like anything was possible if they stayed together. As they parted for air there eyes made contact again and they knew they where coing to stay together forever. They knew that they were going to live threw this new ordeal and come out still kicking. As long as they stayed together and true to eachothers feelings. As they shared yet another kiss, they knew that this relationship was eternal.

Well, I hope that was the sceane you all were waiting for.

I also hope I explained my idea's for the Project clear enough.

I know it was abit short, and I was going to write more, but I felt it would ruin this Sheloyd chapter.

The next chapter will continue where this one left off, starting with Kratos.

Thanks again for the reviews, keep sending them.

Till next time.
