Chapter 3

A Travelers Story, Realizing The Truth

A new morning had dawned on the land, as Collette and Lloyd made preparations to continue their journey. .After buying some gels and potions, the travelers returned to Sheena's house to have one last meal.

"So" began Sheena as she reached for a rice ball, "what exactly do you plan on doing with Kratos?" The room fell silent for a moment as everyone chewed their food. Lloyd closed his eyes for a moment, and then spoke.

"I'm….not entirely sure" he said as he reached for the salt, "I guess he'll have to come with us, so we can keep him out of trouble" Lloyd gained the title: compassionate son.

"In any case" Lloyd continued, "I think it would be best, if we get him out of that ice cube". With that said, Sheena stood up to summon Effrreet I forgot how it was spelled.

"Oh spirit of the blazing inferno" she chanted, "I beseech you, unlock you're burning fury, and free our friend from his frozen prison". With the spell chanted, a red circle appeared on the floor, and from within, rose the monstrous summon spirit of fire, Effrreet. The block of ice was gone in an instant, and with it's disappearance, came Kratos' freedom.

"Wh….where am I?" uttered /Kratos as he regained consciousness.

"You're back in Mizuho" replied Lloyd as he wrapped his freezing father in a warm blanket. As Kratos shivered near the fire, Lloyd and the others noticed that his wings were back to normal. They all sat next to him on the floor, Lloyd thought for a moment then spoke.

"So dad, anything you'd like to tell us? Maybe you'd like to explain why you attacked me like that".

"What are you talking about?" replied Kratos turning to his son. "The last thing I remember was getting knocked to the ground by one of you're attacks, then……nothing". Everyone looked at each other in surprise. How is it that he can't remember attacking me like that thought Lloyd to himself, is it possible that something could have happened to him while he was in space?

"Is something on you're mind Lloyd?" asked Kratos as he stared at his son with a worried gaze.

"I was just wondering" began Lloyd, "would you mind telling us about you're trip? I think it might shed some light on the current situation". Kratos made himself comfortable in front of the fire and closed his eyes.

"Very well" he replied, "as you already know, I left three years ago to follow Darris Kharlon, hoping to prevent any misuse of its large quantities of mana". There was a short, awkward silence, then he continued. "Throughout my travels, I came across many strange and bizarre worlds, the likes of which we could never have imagined".

CW- At this point I would like to apologize in advance for any grammar related errors, grammar isn't my forte.

"Sometime within the second year of travel, I came across a world that was, to my surprise, much like the angelic city that Mithos had constructed". "I decided to stop in and take a look around, and what I found, was incredible". "I found, what appeared to be, an entire planet of half- elves, and what's even more shocking, was that they all seemed to be followers, if not worshippers, of Mithos".

Everyone sat quietly for a few minutes, all of them simply staring into space with their mouths wide open. "I know this must be quite a shock to all of you" continued Kratos "but there is still more to tell you". "As I traveled this mysterious planet I had several nightly encounters with a mysterious angelic figure". "What struck me as strange, was that he knew my name, and about my history with Mithos and Martel". "Whenever he was about to depart, he would speak of a curse that was placed on me, because I was a human that set foot on the holy land of half- elves".

The whole party just sat there motionless, but, Lloyd finally managed to speak. "Perhaps there is some truth to that curse he spoke of, maybe that's why you attacked me".

Kratos gave it some thought then said, "perhaps you're right, but even if that were true, I would have to return to that place once more in order to find out how to lift the curse". Lloyd stood up and put a hand on his fathers shoulder, "Then, it's settled" he began "were taking a trip to that planet to find a way to lift the curse".

Kratos gave his son a worried stare, "Lloyd I can't let you go if there is even the slightest chance that you might receive the curse as well". Lloyd returned his fathers gaze, "You don't have to worry about me". Kratos could tell that Sheena and Collette shared in Lloyd's enthusiasm, "very well then" he muttered.

"Great" shouted Lloyd, "then, if you don't mind Sheena, could we stay here a few more days?"

Sheena nodded and then asked "why the sudden change in plans?"

Lloyd turned to her again, "I need the time, to send out a few letters and make a few preparations". He turned to Kratos and spoke, "dad, do you remember the name of that planet?" Kratos thought for a moment, then replied "I believe the natives called it Luminous, the planet of everlasting light".

With that information in mind, Lloyd ran out the door to begin his preparations for the upcoming journey.
