Chapter 7

Lloyd and Colette stood in front of two graves. One had a tombstone with the words "Zelos Wilder" inscribes on it, and the other had "Sheena Fujibayashi" on it. Colette prayed and Lloyd stood in deep thought. How are we supposed to defeat something that we can't even touch?

"Lloyd," Colette stopped praying and looked up, "Do you remember Mithos ran away after it hit Zelos?"Lloyd's eyes widened and he nodded his head in agreement, "Yeah! Maybe that's its weakness!"
"But, what exactly happened?"

"I don't know. Zelos was trying to protect Sheena, tried dodging the attack, and got hit." He held his forehead, "It all doesn't make sense…"
"We'll find someway. All we know now is that Mithos isn't invincible, and he's trying to murder us."
"But why?""I don't know." She sighed solemnly, "But I miss our friends."
"I do too, but- Oh no!"
Colette looked at Lloyd, "What is it, Lloyd?""If Mithos is after us, then Genis and the Professor are in danger!"
Without another word, the two ran off to find their friends.

As Lloyd and Colette flew through the skies on their Rheairds their hearts filled with sorrow. Where cities towns and villages were suppose to be, were nothing but ruins. There efforts, and the journey they went through was for nothing. Everything was lost.
Finally, the reached the ruins of Altamaria.
They landed in the rubble and looked around.
"Genis! Professor! Where are you!" Lloyd called out.
No reply.
"Lloyd," Colette began slowly, "I don't think they're here. I don't hear anyone.""Then where are they?" he started to sound frustrated
"I think they're in the Iselia Forest. Iselia is one of the only places that hasn't gotten destroyed. Ruins are dangerous to enter. They could fall apart any moment. So I think they're there.""Alright then! Let's go!"

The two started to fly across the sky once more.
Then Colette started to ask, "Lloyd, what if the journey we went through was for nothing?"

"It couldn't be for nothing… it just can't."
"What if we can't stop Mithos?""We will. Don't worry."
Colette stood still for a moment, and then gasped. "Lloyd, look!"
Lloyd look down and saw a small explosion coming from Iselia Forest.
"Colette, we have to hurry!"

The two swooped down and landed swiftly on the forest floor. Another explosion came, and then a boy's cry could be heard, "Mithos, why!"
